And more importantly than just features, the high rate of latest-OS-adoption on iOS means security updates get out fast.

This has a side effect of "herd immunity" in that iOS is a less-desireable platform to develop exploits for than Android, since the shelf life is much better for an android exploit.

I'd love to see google innovate here, for now it seems like they're not even trying to match Apple when it comes to this metric.
I hope it's so successful that Lenovo stops treating it as a "fun project" and starts offering evolutions of it as part of their main product line.
Punjabis are from India and Pakistan, not from China, if that wasn't clear to you.

They have a reputation as good workers in agri businesses. See this article about how they invigorated Italy's cheese business: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/world/europe/08iht-italy08...

(The article references most workers as being Sikhs. Sikhs are adherents of the religion of Sikhism, but I believe nearly all of them are ethnically Punjabis)

That was a misnomer, you're right. But that doesn't meaningfully impact my point. An average annual 70% return, some years greater (notably, 2008) and some years lesser, but only a very small number of down quarters or months in the same time frame.

Doctors kill patients, despite their best intents. It might be exhaustion after 14 hours of constant stress, it might be negligence, or simply lack of necessary data to make a better decision in tiny time window available to save somebody with cardiac arrest. Often its caused indirectly and there is more than 1 person to blame.

If we fired and imprisoned every doctor with this experience(s), hospitals would be empty and people would be dying from easily preventable causes. There are almost no doctors that are doing clinical medicine for long enough that don't have this 'mark' on their soul. Got a solution for that from your high horse?

I am talking about deaths happening daily in every hospital around the world. Sorry you were saying what?

I haven't had any heat problems. However, the default configuration under Linux will run hot and noisy and suck batteries. It's an easy fix, though. Under Arch, it's just a matter of installing powertop, thinkfan, and tp_smapi and enabling a few systemd units.

Once you make those easy changes, the battery life becomes excellent like you would expect and is very quiet.

I agree with you on the HiDPI screen availability. As best as I can tell, Lenovo (like everyone else) has trouble buying the panels at quantity due to yield issues and only makes them available in their most high-end laptops where people are most likely to buy them. That's probably business folks, who generally want a thin laptop.

I had my employer buy me a P50 in an attempt to get a powerful laptop with lots of RAM and a good CPU and the big screen. That turned out to be a disaster, though. It's absurdly heavy and I never could get used to the offset keyboard. I use my personal T470s exclusively now.
From the recent rumors it seems the retro will "just" be a 2017 thinkpad + old keyboard. Cool, but not enough for me.

I guess I got my expectations too high when Lenovo put out surveys asking about screen ratio, status led, thinklights, etc. a couple years ago.

Thanks, that's actually a great article that explains very well why you can't just throw signatures at the problem and claim that fixes everything.

As other commenters have pointed out, the reason Maven central doesn't have this problem has nothing to do with signatures, and everything to do with the fact that all new packages must undergo manual review, which is unfortunately a solution that doesn't scale. (See the "Linux Has Packaging Signing, Let’s Steal Theirs" section from the article you linked.)

This is the definition of lock-in. Switching would be a disruption so you don't do it. I'm locked into Gmail. There are lots of competing products, but everyone knows my Gmail address and all my old emails are on it. I don't bother exploring switching because I know it will be a disruption.

I'm not a ST dev, I have no financial interests in ST becoming more expensive or changing to a (for the company) more lucrative business model. I have tried alternative editors, anything from vi and emacs to VSCode and Atom, but nothing hits the marks for me as ST does. It has – in my opinion – great UX, its speed and efficiency is unmatched in the GUI editor space, and my favorite feature: it has rock solid buffer persistence.

I can't tell how many times ST has saved me from system crashes and just me being an idiot and restarting everything before saving anything, or removing a file but ST keeping a buffer. I've come to rely on this, and it's rock solid. Not once in the years since I started using it (I believe I bought my first license in 2012) have I encountered a situation where ST lost my data. I've never experienced this with any other editor (I'm sure vi and emacs can do this, but in years of trying, I can't come to grips with their UX – they're just not for me) and this feature alone has paid for the price of admission for me, many many times over.

In short – I don't care that there are FOSS alternatives. I don't care that there are alternatives that are "better" by some measure. Until they can match these three things, in increasing order of importance, they will never compete with ST for me:

- Great UX

- Speed and efficieny

- Rock solid buffer persistance, even for unsaved files

Someone in this thread suggested I buy licenses and donate to a local high school. I'm going to seriously look into this as a viable way to both support the company producing ST, as well as hopefully enabling kids to learn programming, or write novels, or whatever they want to do with the software.
I dropped my standard hours down to 24 just recently and it's been rejuvenating. I do pick up the odd freelance/contract job whem it suits (pay/hours) and spend the rest of my time working around the house and generally relaxing.

It's done wonders for mental health and stress levels. No more sitting in traffic all day, missing half my kids' life, stressing out about not getting stuff done around the house, eatimg crap food on the fly, being too tired to do much in the weekend, and most of all I can spend more time with my wife, which is awesome.

This approach is propably fine for small one-off transactions, but:

* 'private sites' can not be trusted (they will be subpoenaed, hacked, wiretapped, etc.).

* Sellers will learn your identity, and can not be trusted.

* You or the seller may be followed.
I don't think so. Everyone isn't the same, some people have more or less capacity to handle long hours. I personally feel that mastery and enjoyment have a large role in how many hours you can work.

If you're working on something you love and are good at, you're going to be productive longer. I think just measuring hours is missing the point.

Hackers Hid Backdoor in CCleaner Security App with 2B Downloads – 2.3M Infected
that's rotten news you guys. if ccleaner goes bad, then eset nod 32 will soon do too?:((((
I came here just to mention this app. I had done a small trial with a few colleagues for an alumni advisory group we run for our alma mater, and the consensus was that:

1) It absolutely solves some of the problems we had with slack, with a thoughtful approach to how people work and respond to the new "streaming inbox." (vs. the "batch inbox" a la David Allen's GTD paradigm.)

2) However, it just felt like a snappier version of email. Which isn't bad, but let's call it like it is. If it looks like a pig, acts like a pig, etc. etc. Which I don't mind! I actually love systems/ tools that work with email - it's pretty much the one universal app that works for everyone with no training!

Nevertheless, the overall experience with Twist was good and would recommend as a solid Slack alternative.
Which makes sense. I imagine insuring cryptocurrencies is very, very expensive, considering the risk profile.
Don't forget to include the preceding 30% drop which reduces both the total returns directly and rate of return as the fund operated over a longer period.

Further, they stopped publishing returns suggesting an even lower long term average.

So, you are looking at a biased subset of a funds returns not total returns which greatly shifts the probability's.

It is very similar to cash in that it is an anonymous means of payment. However, Taler tries to legitimize the transfer and explicitly claims "Taler is not suitable for illegal activities." https://taler.net/en/index.html

But by hiding the source of funds, it seems eminently suitable for illegal activities. Putting a (partially) legitimate business as front to process illegal profits is a textbook money laundering structure.

Other people have to do many things to be happy, but they found it all there! These were incredibly intelligent, incredibly creative people expressing their intelligence and creativity. They weren't lesser men for their passion. It elevated them.

12 cool things you can do with GitHub – Hacker Noon
You might be right that some people can be productive more than 40 hours per week because I am one of them.

However my point was that when negotiating salary you can't really say "I can be productive 70 hours per week" and therefor ask for 40% higher salary. It doesn't work that way and what you negotiate is based on your skills mostly in comparison to other people who are assumed to put in cca 40 hours per week.

So even if you can be productive for 70 hours per week, I wouldn't do it and instead invest that time in your family and yourself, making your life outside of work richer and more fulfilling. Otherwise you will just be working for free the extra 40% of the time and never be compensated for it by most companies.

Finally, you only have one life so spending most of your life in the office or commuting in and out of office is quite a waste of your time. You should use your free time to enjoy your life imho and experience more things.

Two quotes:

“Tape isn’t inefficient or ineffective, but it can be inconvenient. Good security is almost always inconvenient.”

"Some security experts and tape users argue that the medium has big advantages over other forms of storage—including a higher reliability rate than hard drives and a lifespan in excess of 30 years. The total cost of ownership per terabyte is also the lowest of any storage medium. Top-of-the-line tapes can hold up to 15 terabytes and can be archived in third-party locations at a fraction of the cost of cheapest cloud-storage solutions."

That's insane. When I "make an effort" to pay a parking ticket on time and I don't, nobody gives me a shiny sticker star - I have to pay double instead.

EDIT: People, I said nothing about children paying parking tickets or about poor people.

These distractions do little to serve the debate.

This is a relatively recent thing, for sure. For most of human history, powerful nations exercised their influence mostly via military power and trade, not through soft power such as promoting a better quality of living (middle class itself is pretty recent, a product of industrial revolutions).

I think its disingenuous to dismiss the very real progress that China has made in industry and military as inessential just because they haven't had the same cultural impact as the US. Prosperity, strong and healthy middle class and political stability are what is necessary for the development of a strong, lasting culture.

There is also the often overlooked fact that the US, being an English speaking country, got to ride the cultural train for free since the British Empire had already established English as the lingua franca of the world. I'm sure there is a lot of stuff going on in Chinese culture which we aren't aware of since its mostly in Chinese.
Apologies that was an attempt at humor.
(I own an Urbit Galaxy, so /very/ biased source.)

Urbit is a platform for building decentralized apps. That's it's entire goal: that everyone will be able to own all their own content instead of data being stuck in BookFace silos. To that end, it's a tightly-coupled environment that provides all the building block it needs to allow developers to easily build those apps, with the reasoning that building a decentralize app on Unix technology would never reached the point your mom could spin up a server by herself. Try to setup a GNU Social instance and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Most of the critisim that I've seen is pretty much the same "what a weird language", but imo that's pretty much just kneejerk from it not looking like C, and APL gets the same reaction (Hoon is probably objectively easier than APL since it's pretty much just Lisp-like under the hood, it just also looks weird.)

As for fascism, the creator is pretty notorious but that doesn't really touch any aspects that I've noticed. The identity hierarchy that people freak out about is basically just a clone of HTTPS certificate authorities, and the entire point of Urbit is removal of power from central servers, not give C. G. Yarvin absolute power of the internet or something.

IANAL. In the US. You can argue that there's an implicit assumption that you will not work on vacation in the employment agreement. Most of the US states are at will states, i.e. a person can be fired for no reason at all, but having a wrong reason, especially when documented in a termination letter, might be a cause for litigation.

How exactly are you going to sandbox your drivers? Run them in user-mode, perhaps? But then you've constructed a microkernel, and no-one uses your system because it's slow.

The Pixel C had something closer to a 4:3, if memory serves.[0]

[0] The wiki page said it's actually a 1:√2 ratio.
I fear this battle is already lost, though. Lots of IDEs expect wide screens and place plenty of tabs on the side of the code window. On a laptop, it probably sucks, but on a desktop, you can just have a widescreen monitor that's taller and wider (physically and in resolution) than the 4:3 of old, so you basically have a 4:3 code window with a bunch of toolbars on the sides.

Very helpful community as well.
Same here. That battery was pretty scary.

Personally, I don't remember owning a battery removable Mac notebook between the PowerBook G4 to the MacBook Pro that couldn't function without a battery while plugged in.
>ou won't read about it much on the Lenovo boards.

That's not really true. The T series is their defacto business laptop. They're everywhere. The s at the end is the 'slim' model which makes it closer to an ultrabook than an old school brick thinkpad. Like you wrote, its no X1, but it doesn't have the compromises the X1 has: soldered components, minimal connectors, hefty price, etc.

They're great little machines and the primary complaint is that the trackpads get redesigned every so often with some designs being duds. Lenovo has shipped a decent trackpad the past couple years so its 'safe' to buy them again.
And if it's not been rigorously tested, then there doesn't seem to be any strong case to assume that the ideal number for office work is higher, rather than lower, than 40.

I'm also wondering how commute time (and method of commute) factors into this. Does 30 minutes of physically strenuous cycling before/after work have a positive or negative impact on office workers? Does the same time spent in a car navigating stop'n'go traffic have a different effect? Both involve some element of mental effort, but both are quite different from the rest of the days tasks. Certainly in my experience one helped my mental state and one didn't.
