I often use my laptop with my mobile hotspot when I'm outside the house, and 5GB of data would cost me $50. Which is more than Apple used to charge to buy a MacOS X install DVD. Most months I only need $5 - $10 of mobile data.

(Side note: I had no idea you can still buy Snow Leopard DVDs from Apple! Costs $30.99 including shipping:)

I'm not from Sweden but from Spain, but here the trend in many cities (including mine) during the 60s and the 70s was the same as you describe, including awful crimes against cultural heritage. Wonderful "art nouveau" buildings were demolished to make room for asphalt and soulless cubes of concrete.

I often wonder what they were smoking in those decades to see such things as normal. I can understand that they thought that the car was the future, seeing all the convenience and not being aware of the full importance of the drawbacks (congestion, pollution, unhealthy lifestyle, etc.), but couldn't they at least have some appreciation of beauty?

Since you're here on HN, I suppose you're interested in Technology, Computers and Web. I'd suggest going through some tutorials on https://www.w3schools.com. I'd recommend the Node tutorial and a Bootstrap tutorial. From there on start creating some websites, build a small portfolio.

Then you might try your chances in web development.

Stands to reason that the media coverage is a smoke screen to eat up attention on the issue. Easier to give people a boogeyman so they don't have as much energy to spend on noticing the really important problems.

"Happiness doesn’t change much over $50k"

Every time I hear this I cringe. I was much happier making $180K than I was making $60K. I could go out more often, purchase more of my wants and needs without worrying about mounting credit card debt.

It has worked fine before. Most background stuff checks for updates, downloads small stuff, I figure < 500Mb a day for gmail, my git repos, checking news, messaging apps: 5.6 Gb is an obnoxious amount. Not only size, but bandwidth.

If you're really saying we should all be fine with and expect multigigabyte downloads happening at arbitrary times, without our consent, then I think we have a very different model of computing ethics.

Walmart controls their real estate at their stores and distribution centers. It is trivial for them to install the electrical service and equipment to charge these vehicles on their property.

The Tesla Semi can do a 250 mile run one way, and have enough charge to return without charging at the destination/delivery point (500 mile range). I haven't looked on a map at Walmart stores vs distribution centers, but I'd hazard a guess that most stores fall within a footprint that negates the need for charging mid-run between distribution center and store.

I couldn't figure this out in the documentation - how are you keeping the data up to date? Is there some kind of scheduled refresh that pulls all the data from the database periodically, or how are you detecting which rows changed?

Where I grew up (western Massachusetts, USA), the most frequent bus ran once every half-hour; the majority ran once per hour, and many came less frequently.

I spent about a month living in Hamburg, and visited Berlin for a day, and I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a bus or (more often) train. As importantly, they consistently run on time, so I don't need to leave a massive amount of padding if I want to arrive somewhere on time.

HDMI-CEC is great and works flawlessly if the equipment you have supports it, at least in my personal experience. On some older equipment, not all of the functions worked though. For example, my old TV could uses CEC for volume and power on but not power off. New TV does it all perfectly.
Ideas are cheap, execution is everything. Actually getting liquidity for equity compensation is a function of the execution of the team, not me as an individual. So the real question of how much to pay yourselves as founders is "what makes you all get along and feel worthwhile?" so that you can maximize your productivity.

Like equity, founder salaries are a major source of dispute, and if the business takes too long to reach market rates then it becomes a source of tension. That's why I think relying on low salaries as a business model is a bad idea -- the business should be focused on sustainably paying market rate ASAP, which should mean that the business has revenue or customers incoming steady and growing.

I would argue that as a rule below market salaries means the business is unsustainable and has not found market fit. Founders can (and often do) still choose a lower salary when it makes sense to them.
The head line is clickbait. The interviewee makes a case for early exits as a win-win for larger companies and startups. But he doesn't even come close to implying the head line. He does compare it to winning a lottery -

"The other strategy is to try and be a unicorn. To raise enormous amounts of capital and build the next Apple, Microsoft or Amazon. There’s nothing wrong with that. If that’s what you want to do and if you can find investors to finance it, that’s a perfectly legitimate strategy. But the chances of success are about the same as winning the lottery. It is a black swan event."

The whole interview is also an ad for his company - "Early Exits" which helps people sell their startups in $50-100 million range. Is there a market for such companies?
How do you have access to this data? That sounds quite troubling
Before this article was published I don't think it was alleged that Kaspersky ever did anything.

All the public knew is that allegedly Israel hacked Kaspersky and noticed the Russian government using Kaspersky's tools to try and dig out secret documents.

I mean who knows, maybe the Russian government had a backdoor that they were abusing, maybe they hacked Kaspersky themselves, or maybe they were just given access.

I would have given Kaspersky plausible deniability before this article.. now I just don't believe them.

At face value their explanation sounds reasonable.

However, the original claim is that the Israelis were watching in real-time as agents searched computers around the world for secret codenames [0]... which is a world away from the explanation given in the submitted article.

Then you end up back at Jim Crow laws. Look at how much ‘voting fraud’ is being used in certain states to apply conditions to voting and how it affects turnout.

There is just no good way to do such tests in a fully enfranchised democracy.

I have to say that I haven't noticed any issues so far - Firefox, VMWare Fusion, VLC, and Homebrew all work fine.

That said, I strongly disagree with forced version upgrades.
That's kind of the point though - it's much more acceptable (to the markets) for a private company to be doing crazy things, low runway, etc, because if the company goes broke, the damage is limited to 'skilled' investors (those with enough means and know-how to get in on the investment). If a public company goes bust (which is the risk here) the damage is much more widespread, and will undoubtedly hit retail investors as well as professionals.

In my day work we're using Angular 2 (Angular 4 technically), and while I prefer React it's not necessarily bad, just not as good in my opinion. That being said, backward compatibility is crazy non-existant. I had a library that required me to update to the latest version, would have been a minor bump. It wouldn't work with my current version, but then I upgraded and other libraries started breaking because they wouldn't work with anything higher than their current version. Turns out some services got changed between those two minor versions.

The main reason I've heard for using Angular 2 at my work is that it's made by Google, but it's not like they use it themselves. I don't see how that's a good reason. On the other hand React is being used in production right now by some of the biggest companies of the world.

I have a 5S and recently had to upgrade so that a vendor would provide technical support. They stated they only provide support for their application running on the latest version of iOS that Apple supports for your device.

I had held off and finally upgraded as the app is fairly important to me and I wanted to get the issue resolved.

Now input is 10+ seconds lagged, everything is significantly slower and apps frequently run out of memory and I end up at the home screen.

Unfortunately the iOS upgrade didn’t fix the issue and I’m still dealing with the vendor.

I wonder how a machine learning approach like AlphaGo zero would do.
Worth noting that Stockfish is actually the only engine that hasn't lost a game. The lackluster performance is it just not beating the weaker engines, something that Komodo and Houdini have done (but they have also lost against stronger engines).
I don't agree with that but they shouldn't be allowed to stop signing the old versions. People should be able to downgrade if they have a need or desire to do so.
You should always be weary of forced updates. People should really know never to trust software when it tries updating.
I think it's more likely than you credit. I expect that Dyson spheres "in the wild" would exist on a continuum of inefficient to efficient to decayed.

An inefficient sphere might exist under these conditions:

* Still under construction

* Inefficient sphere built previous to efficient spheres

* A civilization is just learning how to build one

* A ruined structure from a dead or regressed civilization
"Many eyes make all bugs shallow" has been considered an eye-rolling phrase for years now. The reason that foundational C/C++ libs have few open bugs on Github is because they all predate Github and have their own bug trackers, and Github's issue tracker is so anemic (or, more charitably, optimized for small projects) that it offers little incentive for switching.
A lot of that is simply busy work and can in turn be automated. A huge bank like Goldman is essentially a middleman - and middlemen can also be trimmed down. For example, I was just talking to a friend who works at Goldman as a trader. 75% of his job is to answer the phone and deal with clients issues (eg “why is my account frozen?”). His job honestly sounded like a customer service job. He’s also the person who signs off on wire transfers, something that could easily be automated.

So much of the “value” Goldman supposedly creates is due to them creating an artificial need for it.
If you keep enough media on your phone so that free space < space required for iOS update, it won't be able to download the update or nag you about it. If it has already downloaded an update, delete it manually, then copy more media to your device.
Also this part from WSJ article remains:

"For many months, U.S. intelligence agencies studied the software and even set up controlled experiments to see if they could trigger Kaspersky’s software into believing it had found classified materials on a computer being monitored by U.S. spies, these people said. Those experiments persuaded officials that Kaspersky was being used to detect classified information."

I don’t think it’s the point but it is often the outcome.

I was surprised by that when I moved to the burbs.

Way easier to meet people in the city. I had his I guess sitcom vision of cook outs and July 4th type stuff (am Brit) and that happens but norm really amongst neighbors just nuclear and extended families.

We moved thinking we’d have kids by now but turns out we can’t have children - kids seem to be the only ‘in’ to the social scene here and we don’t have that. I’m agitating for a move back to the city but not sure my wife is ready to admit that’s our life now and give up then ‘normal’ path. 2500 Sqf, 3 beds and 3 baths for 2 people and two puppies does not make good economic or ecological sense.

> Just like it's acceptable to reboot a computer without a user's permission, losing all their work

To play devil's advocate, the system provides great APIs for preserving work during reboots (above and beyond just saving to files, full state restoration of all UI in the system frameworks). It's arguably only poorly designed software that does not do this.

I don't fully believe this, but it's one way of looking at it. For pro users, shouldn't be rebooting, for most users, they shouldn't notice.
I'd assume runtimes for various iOS systems (think 3gb for iOS 11, 3gb for iOS 11.1, 11.1.1 etc) from many many versions ago. Same with simulators. It is very very likely that he could just delete unused ones and cut it down to 20gb

Xcode itself is ~5gb I think. Or 10.
React is great but this:

"I’m waiting for the day when the only way that you build UI, the only way you can build UI is with the React paradigm."

is scary.
After all the trouble you went through, would you really call your experience an "upgrade"? It sounds like you are barely tolerating upgrades. In terms of user experience, Apple has terrible UX because they impose on their users so much.

There is no justification for what Apple is doing. They are downgrading and arguably damaging your computer, because 1) they are too lazy to support more than one operating system, 2) they want to use you as a beta tester 3) they want to ensure the integrity of their DRM ecosystem. It is the same reason that I am coerced into installing Sierra if I want to put a video on my iPad that they forced an iOS9 update onto (I would have to "upgrade" iTunes which requires that I update the OS).

Sadly, this has become a trend.
I feel like I'm seeing a trend here. An OS reaches a very stable point where users are happy. But the company needs to keep pushing updates to stay relevant and generally makes things worse. I think it's why people were stuck on Windows XP for so long, and now Windows 7 will be the one people hold onto as long as possible (if they weren't automatically upgraded). The most recent versions of iOS and macOS are in the same boat: the feature list is uninteresting to most people, but the update is pushed on them, and there's a good change it will break your install/slow things down/break some apps. I haven't bothered updating to High Sierra, since after installing Sierra I was left wondering what I had gained. I disabled Siri after the first week of never using it.

Side note, it's annoying that Apple ties app updates to OS updates. One of the big selling points this time seems to be the new photo app stuff, like you can't just release that for everyone?

I suspect there is a secret background story, like every so often when intelligence agencies are involved. Maybe Kaspersky didn't cooperate with the NSA as much as they'd wished for, or Russian intelligence interfered to prevent this. It looks to me like somebody is holding a very special grudge against this company.

I'm merely speculating, of course. Personally, I never take ordinary public announcements or claims from intelligence agencies at face value, since they have plenty of reasons to lie and disinform. That doesn't entail that their secret reports are bogus, of course, and senate hearings are also reliable. I've followed the senate hearings close enough to be reasonably certain that the US intelligence community is right about the accusations concerning Russian meddling in politics in the US and the EU. But that's a different case, people were testifying under oath in front of senate committees and senators from both parties who went to meetings behind closed doors were also convinced of the (classified) evidence.

As for Kaspersky, the information is unreliable and my personal guess is that whatever happened wasn't their fault. If someone has malware on his machine, it's the job of the antivirus software to detect and analyze it. If at all, the story has increased my overall trust in the technical quality of Kaspersky software.

Another speculation that I find overall credible is that since Snowden's revelations there is some concerted effort to further discredit the NSA in order to weaken their ability to operate. If that's so, then this campaign seems to be quite successful.
That got black and white quick.
