My mid-2011 MacBook Air with 4 GB memory has been running really well. Occasionally Safari (the Metal version in High Sierra) gets slow, but it's still faster than Chrome. I've been using it for general casual computing and machine learning development with Jupyter Notebooks and haven't run into anything that would make me want to switch. I'll probably upgrade to a 2018 MacBook Pro with 8 GB memory when those come out.

same story here. Low number ID, privacy advocate, etc since the 90s.

the part that disgusts me recently is that when these conspiracies are turned into fact by post-facto released information from official sources, a good amount of the reaction is "So? Everyone already knew that anyway."

I feel like that reaction is so blasé that it will ultimately be the deathknell of the personal privacy movement.

Whether or not the propagation of that kind of attitude and reaction to such things is state-induced is another question, but the damage that such opinions do to such activism is definetly real. If I were an adversary to a cause, I would definetly consider those kind of tactics against the ideals of my enemy.
Cool! Reminds me of GStreamer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GStreamer). It’s definitely like AWK insofar as it’s pipeline-based. But to me the big thing about AWK is that the program doing the transformation is usually super easy to write down in the CLI itself. Either way, sounds fun!
I've limited it to Netflix on the big screen. I don't want the constant jumping from video to video either, pick one and then be stuck with it 'til it's done (or turn it off).

I am considering Amazon FreeTime Unlimited as well, I would recommend trying that before a TV though I would appreciate any anecdata on it.

Also, a shout out to https://dnslearning.org/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14913547 (Aug 2017) <- expanding that whole YouTube discussion might be worth your time.

Anonymous doesn't mean secret. If the governor of Ohio says his people want Trump over Hilary, just trust him, you don't need to know how he knows would you? I mean, I don't trust unauditable electronic voting machines. I certainly wouldn't trust someone who couldn't even point to the machine he got his info from.

#1483 here, yo. :) I logged in recently to poke around a bit.
I agree with the assertion of Tim Cook being a negative influence on Apple. Their product reveals just don't feel stunning anymore. I used to be enamored by their product lines, and truly envious of those people you knew that used Apple products for as much of their production pipeline as possible.

But it's so much different now. It feels less like a well crafted experience and more just an alternative. It was always an alternative, but a complementary one at that. You could buy a hammer, but you could also buy this nice, shiny, beautiful hammer, weighted perfectly to swing like an extension of your arm, etc.

I started getting this feeling right around the first iPhone release after Jobs passed away. As much as I romanticized it here, I wouldn't exactly call myself an Apple fan, nor a Jobs fan, but the sort of impact and hype he could build felt a lot more exciting than Cook for me. And that kinda sucks because I know Apple has some great people with even greater ideas.

Does YouTube app/whatever not honor device-trusted root certs? I know Google pins some stuff, and some YouTube players are embedded in appliances.

Points can fluctuate by dictate from the redemption group. If you follow the points guy blog, you'll see they transfer "points" back into "dollars" by looking at redemption rates. Sometimes, you redeem 1 point for $0.01 in goods; some programs, the effective rate is $0.025. TPG's schtick is to help you navigate that. I imagine those conversion values fluctuate.

Otherwise, I'd imagine one thing preventing this is the lack of transferability in a lot of points programs. Plus, the limited acceptable partners where you can spend them.

I'm sure there are more -- just wanted to start the discussion.

Upvoted because I still find the second paragraph introducing crowfunding a valuable adition to the debate. I don't know how, and agree with the problems with asking people to do the job of the government, thus paying two times for the same thing, but maybe could still be useful at a minor scale or if headed towards a different goal
To be more precise, the point is really this:

Up till now, Western countries have been able to do "this kind of stuff and get away with it". Now, a non-Western country is able to do this stuff to "Western countries", and get away with it.

So naturally, denizens of said "Western countries" will be aghast, upset, indignant (pick your emotion).

While denizens of, well, the rest of the world, might well be laughing their asses off.

I will echo this. I absolutely knew I was a software engineer pre-Slashdot but it shaped what and where and how I do that. And I also have had a very good run so far. So thank you for that impact on my life.

I did a book review on there, way back when, and I meet Rob and Hemos at the Atlanta Linux Showcase (I guess it was 1997 or 1998) as I took part in the "Loki Hack" (they might have brought food, I don't fully remember.) I don't know how to fully describe it but I was a fresh out of school engineer at IBM, generally introverted and shy, and I somehow felt like I needed "permission" to take part in opensource and the community. Not permission from work, that was actually very very easy, but more like "where do you start" and I didn't want to look like a fool. Someone else was running a project and I had some ideas and had no idea if my ideas meshed with their mission. It's just easy to stand on the sideline and talk about stuff, but you sort of have to take a risk and put yourself out there to take part, and maybe I needed "permission" to do that. The slashhdot guys were particularly down to earth, and laid back and totally welcoming, Hemos even told me that they could probably send me more books to review if I was up to it, just made me feel totally welcome for my fairly trivial contribution. I think it's really easy to turn away newbs with a bad experience and these guys didn't do that. A big website and a business are some neat things to be a part of and to have created, but to be really early members of a new community and to do that well and welcome people and grow it and nurture it is a major accomplishment.

the more things change the more they stay the same.

It's not a winnable bet (at least right now), but i'd wager that groups are doing that right this very second, even here.

Techies are an important group to influence, and there are a lot of interests here. The level of discourse and discussion is fairly high here, but don't let that trick you into the naiveté that folks with vested interests here are any more honest than they are anywhere else in the world or on the net.
I was actually using Helium for a long time.
It is a awesome app as well, offering a different set of features IMHO.

A sneak peak of features offered by Fenêtre.

- Browser extension

- Code highlight

- Markdown Viewer

- Click-through and See-through as well as opacity control (Helium has opacity too)

- Lots of settings to control defaults behaviors.

- Mute window

- Clipboard access

- Customizable hotkeys

- Polished experience for some website (Youtube, Vimeo, Twitch, Github to name a few...)

- Access to recent opened items

- Local files support (video, image, text files...)

- Collapsed view

Hope you'll give it a shot !

Then something cannot be described, it does not become a fact of shared reality. Hundreds of millions of Soviet citizens had an experience of the thing that could not be described, but I would argue that they did not share that experience, because they had no language for doing so.

This is a very good point, but is I think a bit obscured because it seems to mistake the map for the territory. I think what the writer is getting at is that without a shared language it's harder to build up common knowledge. Which means more than just everone knowing something. It also means that they all know everyone knows it, and know that everyone knows everyone knows it, ad infinitum.

Each person can see the Emperor has no clothes, but without sufficient communication they cannot all know that it is safe to laugh at the Emperor.

It lets you load a webpage/picture/video/file in a floating window that will always stay on top.

So if you're working in your editor full screen, you can keep this floating window on top. And keep most of your screen's real estate.

I hope this answer your questions.

[HIJACKING COMMENT]

HN has blocked me from commenting too much, but I wanted to share some promo codes !

--- My initial message that I can't post anymore ---

I'm Yoann Moinet, I've developed Fenêtre.

Thank you so much for all your valuable feedbacks, I love it.

I've worked on it with my friend Max William Neilson, who took care of the designs.

We also are on Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fenetre

To repeat what I answered to other questions.

- Windows is coming.

- I'll have a look for *nix.

- Will fix mobile as soon as I have some time.

- I choose the domain name, and I love it. But it gave us a hard time in multiple places, because special chars are not handle well everywhere!

- Similar to Helium indeed (I love it too) but with a different feature set.

Here are some promo codes for you.

I still think this "white nationalism" thing is a false flag designed to stoke anger on the left.

Not clear from the article if it's equating white nationalism with white supremacy. In moderation, there's nothing wrong with nationalism...one should be proud of their country. Branding it as "white" makes it sound sinister.

"Supremacy" is a totally different animal which is actually dangerous and hateful.

According to the article, one of the "starkest" illustrations of this "hate-filled" movement is "raised arms" in a "Nazi salute" while Yiannopoulos sung at a karoake bar in Dallas.

I wonder if these "raised arms" were anything like the "Nazi salutes" that Pewdiepie was trashed for, but turned out to be total bullshit.

Afghanistan was a testbed for this technology because remote bases were often extremely expensive to maintain if running off of generator power. The cost of fuel was astronomical since it had to be ferried in by helicopter.
The steam roller is still there from quite a few companies, make something popular and Google, MS, Facebook will clone it and force it on people. No luck about it though, these companies are only interested in mass market stuff, the long tail has only gotten longer.
Just upgraded and it's been rocky so far. (I'll spare you the upgrade details, just make sure you don't try to upgrade using apt if you initially installed the enterprisedb.com bundle)

But now that I've got v10 running I'm unable to do a fairly simple CREATE TABLE command that worked fine in 9.6: it maxes out my RAM and my swap until the db crashes. (which never happened once in 9.6)
From the people I know at Apple, there are lots of HUGELY talented people there. That said, they're bigger than ever, and I'm sure there are plenty who are just hiding out trying to while away their career. And some teams are much, much better and more highly responded than others.
> Remember the Chinese network equipment allegations? The agencies said hey had backdoors. That was never proven but what we know is that the agencies had access over nearly all Cisco equipment.

They had exploits for both Cisco and Huawei actually.

> There are only allegations from an unreliable source: the agencies have lied regularly.

I don't recall that happening, do you have a few specific examples?

> I am convinced that there is an anti-Kaspersky campaign since the agencies 'like' the American antivirus vendors a lot more. I bet the agencies have ways to spy on users of American antivirus vendors.

Sounds like a very bold claim to make, but no substantiation.
The Intel GPU is in the CPU, so yeah, it has two GPUs.

Unfortunately, if it's like other ThinkPads I think the HDMI output requires the discrete GPU.

I'm actually working on the windows version. It's not that far, but it needs way more infrastructure, especially for the licence system. As the Mac AppStore has all this built in.

Yes, as I said in my comment, property is commonly recognized as a human right.

Nothing in that Wikipedia article says anything about being conned or deceived out of your property, and my question is whether a right to not be conned can be derived from that right. Do I have a fundamental human right to hold onto my property even if I am making a decision to give it up that other people think is unsound? Does that right prevent me from giving up my property? (There are, in general, rights that prevent you from doing things - for instance, I'd say that the right to liberty prevents you from consenting indefinitely to authoritarian government. Is this one of them?) Or do I have a fundamental human right to do with my property as I wish, and a right to not have my decisions second-guessed by the government?

For example, several jurisdictions believe that I cannot give up all copyright claims to some software I write, and that whatever I do, I maintain a "moral right" or "author's right" to the software, and even if I want to promise someone that they can literally do whatever with the software, the laws prevent me from doing that. I think this is a violation of my liberty, but clearly the people writing the laws think that I am being conned.
Thank you very much !

I'll have a look for the *nix version, promise!
I can empathize with your H-1B remark (been there) but I don't think you got the subtext of what "owning a person" meant.

What he meant there is employees=sheep (mostly), contractors=wolves (mostly).

H-1B or not, most employees will put up with a lot more than contractors.
If you are using /usr/sbin/sendmail style delivery, for example via the built-in postfix implementation on macOS and many linux-like systems, it's fairly easy to configure postfix to rewrite absolutely everything to go to your own email address. This can be quite helpful during development, because not only do you get to see the emails as they are delivered, but you can also worry less about sending development emails out to random addresses around the world. (Look into "recipient_canonical_maps")

I agree with you.

Perhaps rather poorly, I was trying to point out that aggression and hostility are now normalized discourse for the masses. I expect stupidity on facebook, but naked hostility is now the norm in my opinion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_F-1#F-1B_booster

> As part of the Space Launch System (SLS) program, NASA had been running the Advanced Booster Competition, which was scheduled to end with the selection of a winning booster configuration in 2015. In 2012, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) proposed using a derivative of the F-1 engine in the competition as a liquid rocket booster ... The F-1B engine has a design goal to be at least as powerful as the un-flight-tested F-1A, while also being more cost effective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_C-3#Pyrios

> Developed during the later stages of the Apollo program, the F-1A was test fired, but never flew. Several were crated and stored by Rocketdyne (later Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne). The company has also maintained an F-1/F-1A knowledge retention program for its engineers for the entire period the engine has been mothballed.

Well, MIPS is still in widespread use in wifi hardware, and POWER is being resurrected for a scale-up way to deal with a growing database, considering the current generation scales higher at about a similar pricepoint than a 4-socket Intel machine. So I am not sure what the past tense is supposed to mean, if it denotes the architectures to no longer compromise a significant part of world-wide (say DRYSTONE) MIPS, or their lack of use where they are good at (false).

How to raise a friends and family round
There's always been a strong narrative, but for a government to call out another commercial entity and or government for spying is a dangerous game and only played when it's a big enough issue. It's all politics, they're spying, we're spying, it's when that crosses the line and we need to slap hands that matters. Further the public disclosure of facts to support are risky in that they can give away, tools, capabilities, or accesses that may be unknown to the foreign actors.

For it to hit the news and the government to ban it, took many years of balancing and finally something internal broke the camels back so to speak. I'm not sure if this was it, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's probably not an isolated case.

Ethereum lost my trust when they suggested a soft fork to make transactions with a specific account invalid, eg, the DAO fix.

It showed both that
a) code as contract is still too hard when even core contributors can't get them right, and
b) the dev team is willing to shunt the underlying principles under the right conditions (eg, financial ones)

A central team that is willing to de-authorize specific transactions through control of the code base is at conflict with a decentralized network. Sure, the network didn't have to go along with it, but they also probably wouldn't have performed the change on their own, either.
