10.6.8 was the best Mac OS ever. Since then I've felt increasingly uncomfortable with the heavy-handed, paternalistic direction Apple has been taking their OS; it just doesn't feel like home anymore. I believe in personal computers as tools of personal empowerment; it's my machine, not Apple's. I really resent being told what I can and can't do with it, and I neither need nor want an itunes account.

I've been using Macs since 1985 and spent the first half of my career developing Mac software exclusively, but I've also been using Linux since... hmm... 1998. Macs always used to come first, but at some point a couple of years ago I noticed that I'd gradually, without really meaning to, started spending virtually all my time in Linux instead. I still have a Mac mini on my desk at home, and it's nice enough, but when it eventually dies I doubt I'll bother to replace it. Everything I want to do works just fine in Linux.
I think you're right. The Bloomberg video clearly shows someone just squeezing the back with their hands and juice comes out.
You've seen how campaign ads work, right?

That success was mostly caused by AT&T not being able to sell UNIX (at least during the first years of UNIX), so they just made the source code available to everyone willing to pay for a symbolic license, which was a tiny fraction of what vendors were charging for their own systems.

An OS and systems programming language available almost for free, including source code, versus what a commercial mainframe, its OS and SDK would cost without source code included, sure recipe for success.
Perfectly put!

It didn't come across as bragging to me; it provided useful context for the question. For a naive reader like me, it demonstrated to me that someone much more experienced in this area than me was confused by it. For a reader capable of answering their question, it provided a baseline of their knowledge, which is useful for determining what level of detail to go into when answering.
Your view on sugar is wrong and quite dangerous.

First, human beings need sugar to survive, yep it's like water, without sugar you die, in particular your muscle and your brain.

There are good and bad sugar, artificial sugar in food and drink sure are terrible for the health, but you also have natural sugar like fructose in fruits, lactose in milk, etc. those are good.

You definitively can not say that apple juice is poisonous like sugary soda.

Those are not the same type of sugar.
You're rephrasing exactly what I said:

> The Rust compiler inherently doesn't trust ffi calls. That doesn't mean necessarily that the call is actually unsafe.
> Antifa have become the very thing they supposedly oppose.

You know the funny thing about Antifa? They would cease to exist if these aspiring fascists stopped supporting violence (direct or state-sponsored) against minority communities. You can't say the opposite is true. This attempt at moral equivalence is weak, weak, weak.

Joey Gibson loudly, proudly aligns with fascist white nationalists and gaybashers, goes to liberal enclaves to provoke (er... "trigger" -- in his words) and gets punched. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Despite all the Freeze Peach winging that goes on here - "Fighting Words" are an important limitation of that right in the 'States. Gibson walks hand-in-hand with those who regularly threaten violence and intimidate minorities. There is no "both sides-ism" on this issue in civil society. You can't simultaneously support those who terrorize American minorities and claim you are supporting our nation's ideals. The math isn't that difficult here.

EDIT: And before you drag the ACLU into this as a counterexample a) they have a solid track record of defending all sides - where Gibson clearly has an agenda to provoke one side and b) they have drawn the line at defending armed protest after the shit show in Charlottesville.
They strongly do get in the way. A good example is the C++ template system, which was designed the way it was because, as Stroustrop said to me once, "that ecological niche had been polluted [by the C preprocessor] so [templates] were the best available."

Thinking of them as a semi-general templating facility made them much easier to use, and more useful, but still I miss the legibility and expressive power of the Common Lisp macro system every day.
I'm just wondering, and I don't really have an opinion.
As funny as this thread of jokes was (and it was; I had a good laugh), I don't come to HN for jokes. I come for interesting, deep, and intelligent discussions. I don't find much value in amusing jokes… isn't that what we have Facebook or Reddit for?

Remember: The price of the good rises until it becomes profitable to produce more of the good or substitute the good with something else.

An economic shortage refers to a market failure and not a lack of resources and is only possible because of external factors like price controls, zoning laws, etc.

>There are almost always willing buyers at a lower-than-market-clearing price; the narrower technical definition doesn't consider failure to serve this demand as a "shortage", even if it would be described that way in a social or political context (which the simple model of supply and demand does not attempt to encompass).

> What rights are being trampled on here?

That's really not that hard of a question to answer, if you're willing to have some empathy and look at things from someone else's point of view. I say that as someone who has always lived in a large city.

Clearly, it's the rights of small communities, with significant material and cultural differences from large cities, to have a degree of self-determination and a real say in how they are governed.

Your choice of words shows a view that it's somehow unjust for these communities not to be dominated by distant, populous, and likely unsympathetic overlords.

Surely it's not true everywhere. Most of us have known plenty of Chinese engineers who are unafraid to report bugs and suggest solutions.

But in the broad sense you mean: yeah, kinda. Chinese companies (in the PRC in particular of course, but also outfits the stem from Hong Kong and Taiwan) tend not to be particularly innovative. It's a lagging market, filled with well-implemented but fundamentally cloned products first pioneered elsewhere. China has products that can compete well against, say, Google and Samsung's offerings, but there are no chinese Googles or Samsungs.

The right way to email (after analyzing 5,000 emails)
I have a more substantive comment below, but I have to say the use of "recurse" grates on me, unless of course you are screaming "fuck, fuck!".

"recur" has the same root as a "occur" -- in fact it means "to happen again."

occur -> recur
occurrence -> recurrence

The thought didn't "occurse to me", it "occurred to me".

Thanks, I just had to get that out!

Does no one else love idea #1? I would totally read that book
Unfortunately, in the desire to show that they do not support Nazis, the tech companies have already ceded the high moral ground on free speech. They have also given up the argument that they are just a neutral platform or dumb pipe. One thing that can get broad agreement from both sides of the political aisle is that actual human sex traffickers( especially if they traffic children) are more evil than neo-Nazis who go around marching and chanting hateful slogans. I see a good chance of this bill passing. After all, who wants to go on record as enabling human sex traffickers.

Try searching for a hotel room 6+ months ahead. Oslo end of February 2018.

"14 people are looking right now. In high demand! Booked 124 times in the last 24 hours. Latest Booking: 3 minutes ago"

"In high demand – only 3 rooms left on our site!" "Someone just booked this In high demand!"

"Limited supply in Oslo: 3-star hotels. 4 hotels like Best Western Karl Johan Hotel are already unavailable on our site!"

"3 other people looking now"

While all true it has no connection to how much the hotel might be booked next February.

I am not a big fan of Deliveroo, Foodera, etc. either, but from what I've seen reported they are not too bad when it comes to treating their drivers (at least here in Berlin). The restaurants/kitchens also seem to profit from it and a lot of new places opened up specifically with those services in mind.

AFAIK your calculation also isn't true. Deliveroo pays it drivers 7.5€/__hour__ + 1€/delivery (or something like that), so as long as they do enough deliveries/hour, that should work out. I'm still more concerned about the absurd marketing battle, but in my personal perception it slowed down quite a lot the last months in Berlin.

The real way to fight trafficking is legalization and regulation, including interviews with sex workers to detect coercion, then followups to help them.

Since fixing the laws is going to take a while, we've taken it upon ourselves. We're building such a superior solution for both sex providers and clients, it'll hurt trafficking like iTunes hurt music piracy.
I didn't hate my iPhone 7+ because I could use the regular headphones with the adapter. It was definitely a pain point though.

But I must say, after I got my airpods, my usage habits have changed. That is how wireless headphones should be. Heck I have never used even the wired headphones as often as I use the Airpods.

Seriously, if you don't intend to use Airpods like wireless headphones all the time, its going to be a pita to use a headphone jackless phone. As of now, there's no Bluetooth headphones out there that comes close to the amazing UX of Airpods.

So think about buying that jackless phone based on how you intend to use it. Airpods will make a huge difference.

A dict is appropriate for labeled data. Currently unordered, but likely to keep insertion order in v3.7 and later.

Don't call it an unordered namedtuple. That's confusing, because tuples are ordered.

Ah, the classic "computers are cheap, developers and software is expensive" argument. That may apply for small companies, but when you've got 100's of millions or billions of dollars worth of hardware, 10% starts to easily be worth the developer investment.

That's mostly carrot (+lemon and orange) but still it's very dry. See also AvE's video[1] where he opens a bag and its full of processed but still largely intact pomegranate. You can squeeze most of a first glass out by hand[2] but that's about it. To get the rest out a press really is necessary- but Juicero isn't just a press. It's massive machined aluminum billets and expensive gears and a custom motor. The huge aluminum parts are likely the biggest cost sink- hundreds of dollars, easily. If they had made the things out of extrusions they could have saved 80%+ on the cost. Just goofy all around.

edit: also this... enthusiastic gentleman, who is pretty enthusiastic about the contents of the bag[3]

A lot of my trust in Amazon eroded after the whole co-mingling fake-eclipse-glasses fiasco. If I can't trust Amazon to tell me accurately where the stuff I buy on their website is coming from… how can I trust them in the retail grocery world where there's so much more middlemen and variables in play?
Juice is bad for you anyhow, no matter the price. TOO MUCH SUGAR!
I disagree. As of v3.6, the order of keyword arguments is preserved.
I'm sure it's processed under an inert atmosphere and whatever yadda yadda new age bullshit. It's all woo anyway.

Point being is it's not just a juice bag- they do at least have good intentions/make a show of having good intentions.
I think that's because it's too short
Booking is the website with the highest density of dark patterns per pixel I've ever seen.

Red texts hurrying you to make a reservation in virtually every <div> on the page ("only 2 rooms left", "someone just made a booking", "12 people looking", "Booked N times today", "You're lucky to see this room, normally it's booked!", "You're lucky to see it for $50, normally it's more expensive" etc.).

All of those texts are flashing/animating so there's a lot of moving things on the page.

When you're idle for a while and switch the tab in the browser, after coming back you get a popup urging you to make a reservation. Basically you're sweaty after the process.

I reserved my hotel lately with Booking and I will actively try to avoid in the future if possible.

People are way too paranoid over things "going bad" -- typically if something is unhealthy to eat, you'll see it or smell it. The expiration date is meaningless… I eat eggs or dairy past its expiration all the time. Meat and fish that's gone bad gets real smelly, there's very little chance you accidentally won't notice.

If you use a loyalty card at a Kroger owned store, they'll tell you if something is flagged for contamination, it's an automated call system. There is already pretty reasonable tracking on the industry side of the food equation; some things are better than others. It's just not at the point of consumption. I'm kind of okay with this, I'd rather the industry as a whole do more things to prevent contamination period. Making a more friendly notification is nice, it could be a phone call, and email, a notification with some app; it's pretty rare and I want it more rare, not a friendlier notification, that's just me though.

Now I think you could make that stuff better, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to hate on Juicero for that. Their entire play was just VC-Bingo though: they had a device, they had a subscription, they had "lock in" (device is only good with the subscription) they had internet attachment, it's a health and wellness type play, probably some other things I'm not thinking of. Anyone know if they had to subsidize the prices, that'd be the grand slam if they had to do that too. $30 a week for 5 packs of juice, that's $120 a month and you do the work and clean up the mess and you have to get different juice on the weekends. The bags aren't supposed to make that much mess but I think the psychology of it all is huge, a coffee maker doesn't make much mess either and you'll pay a gigantic premium at a coffee shop. How many months before you get a tip-top of the line cold press juicer that'll make juice out of any produce? With no subscription.

I think, for the quality, it's on the lower end. Most such services that I subscribe to (or have in the past) are $20-30 per month. The quality of both the production and content is easily worth the money. Even more so now that there are 4 seasons of some really high-quality screencasts from the past.

The value I've personally got out of DAS is incredible.
Fair, but at that point I don't see how there is any relationship to computers, which was OP's point.
