Your anecdotal experience is opposite of mine: at my place, we still use 4-5 year old computers, and frequently upgrade hard drives, memory, video cards even when needed. We have a few rooms dedicated to spare parts, and when we can't find what we need, new ones are bought. And honestly, my 4yo PC doesn't really need upgrading just so I can open my IDE or browser 20 seconds faster.

Granted, we are an enterprise shop with a few dozen devs - exactly two people have a mac. So we're not exactly Apple's target (enterprise never was)

There should no longer be a problem with Twitter. The way I saved the styled photo was Right click > Save image in Chrome.

Thanks for reporting!
> But in the end, only the power users stuck around

"Power user" would be the last term I'd use to describe Eudora users in the mid-2000s at the university where I did tech support. They were generally emeritus professors who had to be instructed whether each click was a left-click or a right-click.

Supporting Eudora was such an absolute nightmare that we had a help desk party when official campus support was terminated. It was an unstable, opaque mess of an email client compared to its 21st century contemporaries.
Maybe? I was thinking more that stuff comes up that affects my schedule, and I don't be forced into living with the constraints of a 10 p.m. bedtime (or whatever time I set). More to the point, I am more disciplined about getting to bed before 12 a.m. I do not want to go bed at a fixed time.

I finally gave up on keeping Eudora working a few years ago, but I still haven't found anything nearly as good. I think the 2 best features were:
-Performance. It was fast as hell even on old equipment, downright instantaneous on modern hardware. Everything was fast, sorting vast amounts of email, searching, you name it.
-Alt-click to bring related emails together. Meet to see all emails from one particular person? Alt-click on their name/address in the email list. Want to instead see all emails with a certain subject? Alt-click on the subject. Faster and less error prone than typing.

Yeah, Gmail's threading is OK most of the time but try managing a thread where you email a group and get a mix of direct responses and reply-all responses. I inevitably end up missing an important response every time, and it's a real pain in the ass to go back and find one particular response.

This is the definition of a PRO machine, people who have extraordinary requirements and need power and flexibility. Stop telling them they have "enough", you are not in the position to make that call.

With respect though, you're talking about different sets of constraints.

The iMac pro is inevitably targeted at the group of people who don't need to upgrade, and maybe they will replace their machine every three to five years. Realistically, there is a limited amount of upgrading that will be done for most users, meaning that engineering effort that goes into building an expandable machine is relatively wasted.

The iMac Pro will not be suitable for every professional user, but it will cover a lot of use cases, and that's okay. If you do need an expandable machine, then there are other options there – but most people don't.

It is proportional, humans are just bad at multiplying extremely low expected payoffs. There were millions of other equally (a priori) viable things you could have invested $1 in that didn’t pan out.

It’s also more obviously proportional for people who put in over $1000 a few years ago.
It's been several years since I took my neurobiology class in undergrad. There has been a lot of research in this area. You're right that the clock does deviate (I checked Wikipedia and it looks like in the absence of light humans' circadian rhythm cycles on just over 24hr). Exposure to light helps tweak the cycle.
The humanities professor would be very proud. A+ grade work here.

Once you are empowered to use the sexism lens by your professor, life becomes uncomplicated. Ready answers available to any question at hand. "Why did this happen, of course, because of my identity." This is almost like religion or cult with all the answers. The similarities are overwhelming.
Thank you for this explanation! I listened to a long radio special about behavior assuring parasites a long time ago. Toxoplasma Gondii played a big role in the report and ever since I've been dumbfounded why we don't treat it. Even though it doesn't seem to have a negative immediate health benefit behavior alteration especially towards higher risk taking is terrifying to me. Thanks to your explanation of the cost of treatment this makes more sense.
Jellyfish | Software Engineers (ML experience a plus) | Boston, MA | Full-Time | ONSITE

ABOUT JELLYFISH

Jellyfish is an small, early-stage venture-funded startup creating a platform that will change the way software development happens. We're looking for a full-stack engineer and a backend architect to join our 5-person founding team here in Boston, MA. At this time we aren't prepared to offer H1B/Visa sponsorship or remote work.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Currently, we are working closely with our customers to rapidly prototype, build, and refine the Jellyfish platform. We are using a Django stack (Python 3, Django, Postgres) hosted on AWS, so experience with these technologies is a plus. We are also seeking to augment the team with someone with substantial experience with toolkits like scikit-learn.

ABOUT YOU

Ideal candidates will have two or more years experience building software and a bachelor's degree in a computer-science-adjacent field. We will also consider equivalent experience in lieu of a degree. Familiarity with building and bringing software to market is a huge plus.

As we are an early-stage startup there is the standard caveat: we're working quite hard to quickly bring this to market, so there will be a non-zero amount of unpredictability. The flip side of that is, of course, the opportunity to join an early-stage startup working on an interesting idea.

TECH STACK

Python (Django, NumPy), PostgreSQL, AWS, Nginx

COMPENSATION

Competitive salary plus equity grant

Venter is a celebrity, not a basic scientist.

Yes, he contributed greatly to the HGP. Yes he spurred on a lagging public project. Yes, he founded multiple scientific institutes.

But the HGP would have been completed without him. He offered no new insight or idea that changed the fundamental understanding of biology. He is famous, and deserves that fame, but does his ideas and research deserve a prize? We'll see, but certainly not yet.

> And that's if you actually get a real reporter to look at these things; most articles are just press releases that are cut and pasted from a university press lackey into the newspaper's publishing system. Those are usually even worse.

Actually if the researchers expect the paper to be high impact they will often provide the press release to the University's press department themselves - these types of press releases are merely a layman directed abstract and tend to be reasonably OK.

This raises two interesting points.

1. Sometimes the lowest quality newspapers have the best quality article on a given publication.

2. Why aren't all research publications required to be accompanied by a second abstract written in plain low jargon language that can be understood at some level by someone with high school science?
Hi HN,

This summer I couldn't sell my "Demetrios George" yellow roller skates on LeBonCoin (french Craigslist alternative).
That made me ask myself what would Craigslist look like if it would be built today?

Fast forward to September and I hacked together a little app called EXTRA, that makes it possible to record a short video to sell an object or find a room-mate for a shared apartment. The app is available only on the french AppStore for now.
