Which, while poorly phrased, at least does raise a valid point that the story is complex. There are some things Apple does very well (e.g. supporting newer versions of iOS on older gear, ensuring it continues to have a life), and some things they do very badly (no replaceable batteries).

Other vendors have the exact opposite problem (my LG G5 has a replaceable battery, but I have no idea how long it'll continue to receive OS updates from my carrier).
Best i understand, the "home-dir" mode, or Rootless, was depreciated because it needed a major rework to be compatible wit their switch to the /usr like /System/Index.

My whole point is that automated EVs will free public thinking, enabling yet further changes to the public's thinking about how urban transport works. Please provide a quote where I say that automated cars are more efficient than other forms of public transport. (I only say that they will be more efficient than current cars, and you'll have to go to an entirely different day to find that one.) Also, please provide a quote that shows I consider automated EVs to be the endpoint in the evolution of transportation.

I’m not Chinese, but I believe the more orthodox Marxists in the Party argue China needs to reach the capitalist stage of development before it’s able to achieve communism (same justification as Lenin’s for the NEP), while the “right” of the Party prefer Third Way type rhetoric of capitalism harnessed to support a welfare state.

The phrase “socialism with Chinese characteristics” was common in their domestic propaganda in the 00’s; I’m not sure whether it still is.

Yep great example, didn't remember to mention that too.

To expand on your point for others about mental exercises: if you experience pain, say, in your leg during a squat, if you mentally visualize doing a squat, and imagine doing it while not feeling pain, and practice doing that visualization, that will help you feel less pain when you actually get around to doing a squat.

Another way I've heard people treat phantom limb is by getting a tall standing mirror, so that their other limb in the mirror looks like their missing limb. And then they will move their limb and that will help treat the pain they feel in their phantom limb.

From the article, Apple's statement:

“Highly-integrated design allows us to make products that are not only beautiful, thin and powerful, but also durable, so they can last for many years,” the company said. “When repairs are needed, authorized providers can ensure the quality, safety, and security of repairs for customers. And when products do reach end of life, Apple takes responsibility for recycling them safely and responsibly.”

Sounds reasonable to me.

"Hate speech is speech which attacks a person or group on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. In the law of some countries, hate speech is described as speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it incites violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected group, or individual on the basis of their membership of the group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected group, or individual on the basis of their membership of the group."

Hi! I’m a software engineer working for the last six years with java development. I already worked with multiplayer online games, I also worked in a legal platform that manage millions of juridical processes. I had to deal with legacy systems, improve, fix old bugs, and automate the buildings (maven, Bamboo/Jenkins). I already manage many servers too. And I know a lit bit of frontend (javascript, css), but I prefer work in the backend.

I’m looking for some job in Europe, but I also would be interesting in some others places if I can get a working VISA.

Connecting the World: IoT Ideas for Business
This is a problem that affects all distributed systems irrespective of database isolation levels. For example, your call to the external API might timeout; did the charge succeed or not? Database locking doesn't help you.

The solution comes in two parts:

1) Ensure your call to the card processor is idempotent and retry it. For example, grep Stripe's documentation for the "Idempotency-Key" header. Every processor should have a similar mechanism. Conveniently, if your database transaction unit-of-work includes the remote call, it will retry automatically in an optimistic scenario.

2) Get a webhook call from the credit card processor. Even though you are retrying your transaction, you can't guarantee that your server didn't crash without a successful commit. This potentially leaves a charged card without recording the purchase; the webhook will sync it up afterwards.

Distributed systems are hard if you think past the happy path. I wish every REST API would have an equivalent of Idempotency-Key.
It's news. The clue is in the word. It is new (to us, now)
Well, you could argue that automation could improve driving efficiency. Will full automation, you could potentially have more cars use the same amount of road space, since they have more immediate reaction times. Maybe not enough, but it's something. You may also eliminate a fair number of trips by one-car families who have to drive a spouse to work, then go home, then go back out again to pick them up and home again. Little things like that might add up. But yeah, overall, public transport would be preferable. Of course, automating buses would probably make for cheaper operating costs, and potentially make them more available.

Also, the point about parking seemed to be overlooked. Being able to eliminate almost all the parking spaces in a built-up area would be a pretty huge boon. Vehicles could simply drive out to less cramped areas during low volume times when they aren't needed, or to recharge.
How is that more accurate? Every company uses technology, at which point saying anything like "tech company" is a useless modifier compared to just "company".

I'm not sure that's great evidence.

Working with a historical artifact means you have to be more careful - it's more museum curation than construction. It's also generally slower to take something apart and rebuild it than to just put it together the first time.
Hey, it's a decent MVP! If you sort by points and pick the top k, that's already better than H1B by a long shot. Getting to the threshold of 30 is hard but doable, and using standardized tests is a big plus to level the playing field.
It's probably best to replace the "foreign degree" points with a standardized test as well. There's too much variance in quality when it comes to foreign degrees - depending on which univ you go to, the foreign degree may be better than Harvard or worse than the proverbial toilet paper. With such a wide variance, especially in vital fields like medicine, US currently relies on standardized medical tests like Step2, Step3 to admit FMGs - this cuts down on all the "fake doctors" since these tests are hard to game. You could do the exact same thing for STEM - wide variety of good standardized tests to choose from. In fact, this is a good startup opportunity to design and administer a standard battery of tests for any foreign BS discipline - there are "monopolies" like Prometrix who do such a shoddy job, startups can surely do one better.
Now, like any good MVP, there will be a bunch of iterations where congress and lobbyists will tweak these points to ensure their pet cadres make the cut. Hopefully they don't fuck it up too much. Not a fan of this administration, but honestly, this is a competent first draft.

I wonder if anything from today will still be around in 2000 years, it is such a long time by today's standards.

The humankind progressed very slowly from the early time of Babylon (some five thousand years ago) through the time of Rome - both civilizations seem equally ancient to us. But today, even one hundred years seems an incredibly long time.

On the other hand - and somehow it is hard to believe -
hundreds or thousands of years ago people were the same as now, with the individual and cultural differences from us probably being smaller than the differences that exist between us right now.

Its not just about repair-ability, its about software support too.

Apple, when compared with the android phone manufactures is probably a better choice for long term use. That is because while my android phone (asus) has a battery I can replace in under 1 minute, the software support probably won't last for 5 years like my daughters iphone5 which after a new battery is a perfectly functional updated device. So if you want to do something about the throwaway culture, minimum support periods might be a good thing to look at too.

Is there really big change in congestion? If not Uber, people would take a taxi or drive themselves - that's what I'd do. Both cases don't reduce congestion.

As for insurance, there are tons of people on the road with bad insurance, at least for Uber as I understand you have something to back it up.

As for assaults and other bad apples, that could have happened with taxi too. I don't believe any company of these proportions could have checks that could 100% prevent such cases. I'm not sure it's possible in even in principle...
The NYTimes didn't call them exceptional, the French Culture Ministry called them an "exceptional discovery", as did an archeologist working on the excavation.

If you read the article what makes this "exceptional" is the fact that the fires which destroyed the place actually had a preserving effect:

'The fires essentially froze in place much of the neighborhood’s architecture, including even the artifacts left behind by residents fleeing the blazes, “transforming the sector into a veritable ‘little Pompeii’ of Vienne,” according to Archeodunum.'

So no its not just any old Roman find.

A culture minister seeing a marketing opportunity for tourism likely had their office issue a press release and as stated in the article invited journalists to come to tour the site this week.

Similarly the archeologist from Archeodunum likely put out their own press release as it's good for business.

Perhaps those parts of the Balkans/Italy you mention should have their respective cultural minister to do a better job marketing their finds.
I'm not certain, but I'd guess it's two things:

I have only had good experiences repairing iPhones. Most everything can be fixed within an hour and at a reasonable cost.

A key factor is the large user base (many million) for each model of the iPhone, so 3rd party parts are usually cheap and diagnostics for almost any problem is easy to google.

Young unskilled workers are a net gain to the economy, especially in an ageing society like the US. It's not charity.
>Also, your claim about how the high cost of the US healthcare system is worth it because the "cool new toys, drugs, and procedures" is a common myth... Fentanyl, for instance, was developed by a Belgian company.

This is incredibly misleading. Most pharmaceutical and medical research companies make the bulk of their revenue from the US market, either directly or indirectly, regardless of where they are based.

The US market is the primary funding source for medical research, even for drugs which are developed by foreign companies.

Where the drugs are developed, where the funding comes from, and where they are first made available are three completely separate questions.

> I thought you were suggesting renting a physical machine and then putting it in a data center myself...

That's an odd kind of colocation. Typically you'd buy a machine outright, colocate it and maybe sell it when you're done.

> makes me wonder why VPS is even a thing since if you go the KVM route you have to set up everything yourself anyway... What am I missing?

VPS are much smaller and are typically used by people buying on the very low end of the market, people who won't pay $40/mo for a server. They're also much easier to find in places like the US. There aren't many budget dedicated server providers in the US like there are in Europe.

Typically cost efficiency looks something like this: owning DC < colocation < dedicated server < VPS < Cloud

But also, the speed and ease with which you can change your infrastructure looks something like this: Cloud > VPS > dedicated server > colocation > owning DC. There's a tradeoff to be made.
So then what is your Opinion of SciHub...

The owner is not in the US, has never been to the US the servers are not in the US and what they are doing is not illegal in their home nation but they are being sued in US courts
Or maybe all companies saw the better strategy for the profit of the industry was for people to need to keep buying new phones frequently and so they all removed that option from the customer hands, on a backdrop of design efficiency and 'innovation' and then it was done because consumerism is a big pile of bullshit.

Most people when I see they talking about it, and I suppose most people in general, would like stronger screens and more battery even if it meant a thicker phone, but the illusion of "last generation" and stuff like that make so, for marketing purposes, supported by the profit motive, that it should not be this way because "customers"... I'm sorry, I just think it's absurd that people take those tales uncritically like that.

My current phone is a middle-end Sony, it's screen already has that kind of shatter that starts to spread, the p2 connector stopped working these days, and after I bought it I could not find any of the accessories to help me preserve it(screen protection, cover, etc), had to buy some chinese stuff online that were worthless, it's less than a year old. We're systematically made of idiots. I still have an S3 that I used for 3~4 years, it's screen is intact and all the rest works fine.
