Another minor cons is that just came to mind is that there is no longer an indicator on the keyboard's bezel giving you the position of the ports.

It was pretty useful but Apple has discarded them..

That's too bad, even something really discrete like a line or even a point would be great.

I have a $job-provided MBP with the touchbar, and I find it actively evil. I am _constantly_ resting my fingers in the general vicinity of the top row, which triggers F11-type behavior, volume changes, esc-key hits, etc. It is a _damnably_ sensitive gimmick, pressure-sensitivity would improve it, but in general its a solution looking for a problem. In its current incarnation, I do not like it at all.
Well if you really want to maximise your odds of becoming a doctor, the best thing you can do for yourself is choose your parents wisely.

Don't choose to be born in a slum in a third world country, or a trailer park, thats gonna hurt your chances. Make sure you don't pick a family that will abuse you as you grow up. Try to make sure you at least get average genetics for general intelligence and memory (50% of people won't...).

Ideally, choose to have at least one doctor as a parent (increases your odds by more than an order of magnitude). A good mentor or role model at the right time could substitute though.

Of course, people _can_ control their own lives, but most people who succeed at becoming doctors were both lucky AND hard working.

And I'd be willing to be that though they did work like hell to do it, a lot of doctors "sleepwalked into it" because a teacher at school or a parent told them thats what they should do.
eToro let’s you short BTC, Dash, Ethereum, LTC and XRP, though no leverage is available for those, and the spread can be a bit daunting.

> Of course this makes sense, because handling bitcoins is mostly terrible. The fate of every bitcoin exchange, I often say around here, is to have its bitcoins stolen, so CME is quite sensibly launching a bitcoin exchange without any bitcoins to be stolen.

This is a strawman. Only fools keep substantial Bitcoin balances in exchange wallets.

Edit: OK, fools and ordinary people. But this is an article about investors in Bitcoin futures. The author could have at least mentioned offline wallets. Also, it's true that you need exchange wallets for speculation. But there's the Kelly criterion, and you can keep most of your winnings offline.
That's really wierd because I'm told that I smack my keyboard, and I've never had an issue with the keys breaking or becoming dead/sticky. I guess I'm really lucky, but I'm fine with that.

Either way, the butterfly keyboard shouldn't be blamed for a technical failure. The keyboard itself when it's working is perfectly fine to use. Apple justs needs to perfect it until they get it right.
There is more than one question I am asking -

(1). Is there any scientifically sound study proving that the quality of protein from plant sources is equivalent to or better than from dairy products?

(2). Is there any reproducible, quantitative data on leaving milk producing cows to fend for themselves vs caring for them in small -to- mid size "cow caring" setups (farms, one-cow ops etc.)? I ask this because both my maternal and paternal grandparents had 1 to 3 milk producing cows at any given point in time - from what I recall, they were well cared for (food, medicine, weather etc.)

(3). If we, as a species, were to stop consuming dairy products today, or cut consumption by, say 90% over the next year, what would become of the current cow population? How is that better than the current situation for the animals?

Where do you rest your hands to be able to trigger it? When I rest my hands I can't even reach that far with my fingers, much less press something by mistake.

edit: personally I rest my palm on my desk when I am using the touchpad, and rest my palms on each side of the touchpad when I am using the keyboard.
Yes, the keyboard is so disappointing. The plastic of the keys is so thin and harsh it feels so cheap. Yes, I really miss the inverted T arrow keys - my right hand can't orientate itself any more. Yes, touch pad was a mistake - a single tap should change the volume!
Ask HN: How do you get started creating a webapp?
I have a few webapps I'd like to make, but every time I start, the interfaces I create look so juvenile and plain (in a bad way). I look at websites like AirBNB or Evernote or Facebook and they look so clean and sleek. And I can find plenty of articles online about webapp design patterns (grouping like things, using colors in ways that people are used to, etc.), but how does one actually start? Even in terms of just putting a navigation menu next to a page of content, it always just looks so poor.

Any advice?

Thanks so much!

Why do you have to call `req.Body.Close()`? Does Go not have RAII?

Does Go have something analogous to Rust's `try!` or `?` operator, which would turn it into (pseudocode):

contents, err := try!(ioutil.Readall(req.Body))

Or:

contents, err := ioutil.Readall(req.Body)?

If not, why not?

Primitive Technology: New area starting from scratch
Australia has a similar arrangement. The wording in the Consumer Law is deliberately vague - something like it must last "a reasonable time", which means a $2000 laptop should last longer than a $300 one. It's not a fixed 5 years.

My Samsung TV I bought in 2012 died this year under normal use, and they replaced it with a new model. The "warranty" was only 12 month. I'm 100% this law is partly responsible for the "Australia tax" but it also means manufacturers can't take shortcuts.

(Apple tried to claim the "reasonable time" an iPhone should last is 12 months, which didn't stand up in court given you could buy them on 2 year contracts)
> I like working from home and having no childcare expenses.

I worry that with a young child, we'd still have childcare expenses - except that instead of paying with money, we'd be paying with our time.

My wife and I discovered, like many parents probably do, that raising a child is fucking hard. We love her, we wouldn't trade her for the world, and it's fun, but it's the kind of fun you have while camping, or hiking, or sparring. It's fun, but it's exhausting, and we would both be complete wrecks if we had to do it full-time.

Your 2 examples. C and JacaScript are dying if not dead already.
We have consensus on Web Assembly now and that’s allowed a lot of languages into the browser with a better developer experience and performance then JavaScript ever offered.

And Rust. What’s not to say about Rust.
One thing that kept C alive so long is there wasn’t anything viable to build operating systems with until Rust.
There’s a lot more to Rust too, it’s compiler LLVM is used to compile so many other languages like Apples ObjC and there’s wrappers for others like Apple’s Swift. I mention these due to the heavy usage and development upstream into LLVM for these. You can even use Rust to create better performance code for other languages like Python modules.

You’re (OP) definitely accurate in your post saying C and JavaScript are comparatively static but even they’ve gone through feature development and drastic syntax and paradigm changes (in the case of JavaScript)

Yes, that group had a 40% placebo rate vs the 90% placebo response of the NY group. However it is a very small group, and only marginally significant. It needs a larger, better designed study (preferably one which objectively measures c.diff infection status before and after), but if one study fails to show a response that's a pretty good indication that the treatment is suspect.
I went thru all Reddit posts and major conclusion was that it cannot be a spaceship - not because of its shape but rather because it was going much too slow.

Someone calculated with its current speed it needs 50,000 years to get to another star (thank you for correction). So no alien with technology to build something like that would want to ride at a "bicycle" speed.

Unless of course they slowed down to take a turn (using Suns gravity pull), just like riding 500HP car you slow down in the corners to leave them safely.

Edit: corrected, thank you friend.

Heh, I get the sarcasm implied here, but I think the bigger issue is that a lot of "futures" are based on things that have reasons[0] for the price moving the way that it does. Oil futures, while unpredictable at times, have an element of research that can be done to make an informed "bet". Crop futures are affected by weather predictions and almost all futures are affected by overall economic outlooks for the sector they occupy.

But cryptocurrency? I have yet to find someone who can give me a "good"[1] reason for prices of BTC to even bet at USD$100, let alone USD$8,000. The probability that in two months the price is $0.01 or the price is $19,000 are equal without a reasonable, data-backed explanation about why the price, today, is $8,000.

[0] As in reasons that exist outside of the bubble of "other people are buying it and they're paying that much". Hell, 80-90% of people who work in technology/programming/software development couldn't properly explain how the blockchain actually works -- and I don't mean "they mostly get it but make some technical errors/couldn't write a working example", I mean they are "deer-in-the-headlights lost" with regard to explaining how any of it works. And it's been my (anecdotal) experience that those who can wouldn't dream of putting money into it.

[1] Good, as in something other than the early "Well, there's that drug market that takes it and it's popular" or "Algorithms are trading it without human intervention and the price just keeps going up" or "Look at that! (pointing upward at the right-hand side of the price graph)". There's simply no explanation that I've heard that dares market a benefit to owning Bitcoin beyond the fact that it can be turned back into cash and the amount of cash that it can be turned into is inexplicably more than the amount of cash it could be turned into last week.

When it was announced, there was a lot of backlash, but I thought I'd keep an open yet skeptical mind. Fast forward, I hear mostly indifferent or negative things.

I am very curious to see what Apple does with it going forward. Can they admit it was a bust and move past it? Will they insist it is the amazing innovation they advertised and keep pushing it? Will they get rid of it but spin it in such a way that it was an amazing feature that they've now innovated past?

Disclaimer: I'm generally an Apple fan since getting the first iPhone a decade ago. However I'm struggling to find compelling reasons to upgrade in their latest couple rounds of product releases. Partly, I'm sure, is that getting older I'm not as enamored with having the absolute latest toys to play with.

As the article discusses at the end: the MTA is a black hole of money, it's overly optimistic to assume cash generated from congestion pricing would go back into public transit (e.g.: the NYT recently reported how Gov. Cuomo directed the MTA to hand over millions to ski resorts in upstate NY because there hadn't been a lot of snow that year).

By comparison London implemented a $15 congestion fee in 2003 and it resulted in a 26% reduction in traffic, which is good but likely not life-changing for most commuters.

So if you cynically assume you won't get free transit and congestion pricing is not a panacea for rush hour gridlock, what do you get implementing this?

Less CO2 emissions. Fewer pedestrian accidents. But mostly: more money for the city. Aka a tax.

Once you accept that, the discussion boils down to your belief in what constitutes a fair taxation scheme: should the users of a service pay per use, or should essential city services be subsidized by the wealthiest citizens? Good arguments for and against.

While I'm in favor of congestion pricing in general I think it's important to not be overly optimistic in our assumptions in what it can accomplish.

Very cool spreadsheet though.

Could be a derelict, though. Arguably, spaceship wrecks should be more numerous than spaceships themselves. After all, assuming alien spaceships have existed for a long time and have a relatively short operational time, they exist for much longer as a wreckage and are as such much more likely to be found in this form.

Just consider our own near-Earth space : there are many more space debris there than there are operational satellites.

Despite being from XDA-Developers this is about an upstream Google update.

Reading about the new Vendor Interface abstraction screams one thing to me - Google plans to silently swap Linux out for Fuschia.

It's gonna be interesting what kind of functionality Google pulls in the process. Based on the ease they seem to be able to pull the carpet out from under established APIs and services, I genuinely do wonder if Fuschia-powered devices will allow access to a terminal, or really anything lowlevel at all.
Because it seems like an obvious bubble, with little / no real value?

Bitcoin was / is a pretty cool technological innovation. But the main use-case seems to be buying illegal things or laundering money, and vast majority of transactions are just speculators.

Also, the fact that it is difficult to short is further evidence of a bubble.
This view seems to have fallen to the wayside, but I vehemently prefer rasterized / bitmapped fonts. Every type of font smoothing looks blurry to me and causes eye strain. Of course, very few modern fonts look good without smoothing - only a few of the old standbys (Arial, etc...) have usable bitmapped versions.

While Linux handles this fine, Windows requires replacing Segoe UI at the registry level in order to fully change over.
It's an informative article, but the title is inaccurate. Tesla seems to be relying on plausible extrapolations for batteries in ~2020.
Very interesting! Too bad this is only for finding instruction materials. An even bigger problem than finding learning materials I often have when autodidactically diving into a new topic is having to build a concept map, which is always extremely hard.
I personally think if they can lower the price they can justify it and nobody will really care anymore. People only really care because of two reasons:

1) It costs $400 more.

2) It steals their ESC key.

Both of these issues can be solved in due time. I think the hate against the Touchbar itself is completely unwarranted and all that is needed is changes.

Everything new is something to get used to.

> this is the achille's heal of libertarianism. it simply leans too heavily on the rationality assumption, while also ignoring many things of value in our lives like love, empathy, conversations, the future (unknowable) value of natural resources, homemaking activities, etc. it's political use (in the mano a mano sense, not in the government sense) is as a rationalization to be a jerk to your neighbor.

Not only I disagree completely with the notion that it is a weakness of the libertarian-economic model, but contrary to it, it offers the strongest protection against the misuse of paternalistic ideas. As Milton Friedman put it, "every man should have the ability to be stupid with his own money".

Behavioral economics are fun and interesting, but they are not the kind of ideas that will have an effect on policy the way that it disproves or makes the neo-liberal economic framework inapplicable.

The reality is that even presented with some predictably irrational behavior, we still prefer it. Even if you know the crossed-off price tag is economically irrelevant to the decision to buy or not, we react to it, we change our decision. And although there are circumstances worth exploring, trying to nuke out those solutions tend to have really worse results.
Two interesting arguments the article discusses.

1) Will customers be able to sue JPMorgan Chase & Co. due to facilitating institutional trading customers access to these futures, when the CEO said that Bitcoin is a scam/fraud?

2) When the futures clear, you basically end up with dollars, which is odd to an extend as a future in oil will literally give you oil once it clears.

___________

On 1 I think that as long as those institutional trading investors are given a prospectus stating that Bitcoin could be a scam, invest in these futures at your own risk, it should legally shield JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The only time I can imagine JPMorgan Chase & Co. would be on the line is if they wrote an prospectus that said this is a good investment whilst the CEO is out in public talking about how much of a scam it is.

On 2, I would say this stops the CME Group Inc.'s futures exchange having to find a way to deal with actually running Bitcoin withdrawals that could open up hot wallet hacks, etc.. and in the long run this should bring down the overhead (fees) on the futures.

In addition what is the point of getting actual Bitcoin once the future clears? Obviously these customers do not want actual Bitcoin. I would say a future that ended with actual Bitcoins would scare away a lot of possible customers.
> You get to be a doctor only with quite a very long term intent and perseverance, by stacking the odds, and rolling the dice a lot.

So what do you think is the value of P(becoming doctor | intent and perseverance)? If it's only 50%, then I'd argue that whether someone succeeds in becoming a doctor or not is indeed quite random.

And maybe more relevant, but what are the factors that cause someone to have strong willpower and perseverance, and were those under their own control?

Depends where you live, and what you farm.

In the case of e.g. cereal crops in the north, there are 4-6 months where you can do little beyond some maintenance, buying/selling equipment, planning next year's crop, etc. that means there is plenty of time for vacations. You are right that during seeding or harvest (especially), all bets for travel are off.

But, it is incorrect to imply that because you farm, you ought to kiss vacations good-bye.

Thats the point of the libertarian moral tenets. You might disagree with them, but that does not imply 'jerkness' nor it is a 'nice thing' to do great things to some people by harming others.
