Thanksgiving is a holiday where many people have a big family meal. If you have family members who you usually only see once a year, there's a good chance that day is Thanksgiving. So that's when a lot of people tend to field questions from people who 1) care about them enough to ask how their new job is going but 2) have no idea what they really do at work.
I keep seeing people post about that this would not have happened under Steve Jobs. I think that's unfair. I'm not a fan of Apple corporate, or Tim Cook, but I think in this new era they'll fix the issue, eventually, and all will be well. Under Jobs, countless people would have been fired and I think it would have taken considerably longer for them to admit there was a problem.
Maybe they can even get around to fix the issue for more or less every non-US ASCII keyboard where they seem to think character that look the same, are the same, or that they are
often mistyped.

In Norwegian we have "a" and "å", they are on completely opposites ends of the keyboard and are not used interchangeably, but they always changes one to the other.

I've tried to contact support about it, even Google, as the problem persist on Android as well, but they never get back to me. So I'm assuming it's working as intentional. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn't, these are all part of the "8 hours for other things".

If you want to live far from your job, then you have a lot of commute, same for food if you want to take your time for eating. Working out is not mandatory.

You can always optimize time, I work 10 hours per day, I workout every day and I still have about 2 hours of free time per day
What overhead does that add in practice? Like a second or so to scan a few GB of tarball? Does that matter?
> You'd need an incentive program

Also called "salary increases", "promotions" and "bonuses". Not just for the people who do the sexy new projects. Because let's face it - you're being rewarded far better in a corporation for releasing something new, than for fixing something old. And keeping something old working perfectly with no issue? Well, nobody hears about you, so probably you're not doing anything, you're lucky if you're not fired.

(I'm exaggerating, of course; but unfortunately, not much)
You'd definitely want to do a full backup occasionally.
They make me feel like I'm living in some emotions-cranked-to-11 stage play. Everything is overly intense and saturated. Things that I encounter rarely, uncontrollable love/lust! rage! betrayal! us-against-the-world loyalty! new soul-mates! malicious negligence! manipulation! conspiracy! jealousy! suddenly become the stuff of everyday life. I've only ever been on the periphery of one of these people, and I was already exhausted.
I suppose you could ultimately try and place some blame on him but I feel that it's more likely an issue with middle management. Is that his fault to an extent? Perhaps, but it's hard to tell without knowing a lot more than we ever will without being at Apple.
Uughh what piece of propaganda bullshit.
EDIT: I'm no longer sure how to parse your comment. It sure reads like a defense of what you call "American culture" but given your other comments I will read it charitably as an impartial observation.

If "American culture" means women should stay in the kitchen [1] and I should pretend to be Christian [2], then good. I hope "American culture" dies.

Yep. The most astonishing thing to me about the price of Bitcoin isn't that it went from $1000 to $11000 this year, it's that it ever made it above $0 in the first place!
Some were listed by local news as the leading rideshare companies.

That seems sufficient to me. It's hard to name any company started in the last few years that is a major market player when then have a bunch of competitors. New businesses take time to grow.

The discussion here is about whether Uber has a moat. The point being made is that it's pretty easy to start a rideshare company. Which it is. That one hasn't become major yet isn't proof that one can't become so. As long as there's room for new companies to start and be sustainable at modest scale, then Uber can't extract monopoly rents.
10.0, 10.1, 10.2 were all terrible. 10.3 on got better, but you continually have had these horrible pre x.x.3 releases that have been show stoppers.

I won't even touch Mac OS until it's past the 3rd revision. Reminds me of old Windows where you waited for SP3.
are literally active in everywhere! For example, they are extremely good at their fields of work. They are equally active on Social Media such as Twitter or, Facebook etc. Also, maintain blogs with quality contents. Most of them posts valuable answers to Stack overflow, Quora etc. They also Attend conferences/ meetup with slides full of gems

Answer: they don't. What you are seeing is the "technology evangelist", a sort of guerrilla marketing thing where people pretend to be an ordinary developer just like you who just loves the products of company X - and is supported in producing all this content by the marketing team back at the company. Don't be fooled, they are selling snake oil.
I am really sad that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that ever managed to touch "mainstream" (it's on Steam, it has Stripe support, etc) and we fucked it up so hard that you need a $4 fee just to pay for one thing with it. I was really hoping it would catch on as a medium of exchange, because there's value in being able to pay for things quickly, cheaply and without giving people a bunch of info, but nope. Digital tulips.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_populatio..., Japan was the 8th most populous political unit in the world, after China, the British Empire, Russia, France (including colonial possessions), United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Dutch East Indies. Except for China (questionable) and the Dutch East Indies, those were all considered world powers in their own right.

The population of Japan at this point was larger than that of the UK (by 10%), metropolitan France (same), Italy (by 30%), the Ottoman Empire (by 30%), Spain (more than 2x).

Going back one more century, to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_populatio... we see Japan in _6th_ place, after the Qing empire, Maratha Empire, British Empire, French Republic, Russian Empire.

Of course in both cases Japan was not a huge part of total world population. It was about 2.5% in 1900 and about 3% in 1800. But that didn't matter when most of the world population wasn't trying to be a world power at all (e.g. they were Chinese peasants). And Japan was more or less comparable to the other major world powers of the time in terms of population.

Now productivity is, of course, important: There's a reason the Dutch East Indies were not considered a serious power in 1900 and Japan was. And we can talk about correlation vs causation (e.g. higher productivity might have been enabling more population growth, leading to high-productivity societies becoming more populous). But just in terms of raw numbers, Japan was in fact one of the most populous countries in the world in the 19th century.

I agree with your overall point that just adding bodies is not enough. But the premise of the grandparent post was that what works is adding bodied to a _functioning_ economy, which is where the productivity assumption comes in. If you add bodies as fast as you can without hurting your productivity (too much, at least), that's the path to economic success at least in the 19th and early 20th century.
No need for the "think of the children"-like narrative. People just want to know more information, nowadays there's so much false and twisted info/news on the internet that's it's no surprise people are skeptical, especially if the article doesn't give much info, who are those girls, what exactly did they build etc. I'm sure if it's a real deal they will get their deserved prizing.

I hope the example was not implying that the “security” was just lack of knowledge of the random telnet port. Running a port scan to find out is incredibly easy (or just use Shodan).
Oops, my bad then, I misinterpreted the news yesterday about that. Do they at least prompt you to reapply the patch after updating?
You did imply degradation of so-called "American culture" is a bad thing: "Each one of those chip away at American culture. It _is_ in danger IMO."
People (especially young) like beaches, mountains, mild weather, low humidity, socially liberal environments, and money. Thats why you see growth and high prices in SF/Denver/Austin/Seattle/LA/NYC/San Diego/etc.

Quite frankly, I think the market, in this case, will fix the problem. If people want to live in the popular places so much, then they will put up with whatever they have to. If people get fed up, then they will demand enough pay to make the employer consider moving to a not as popular place.

The real problem is each individual, especially smarter ones, are able to produce so much more than before that there aren't that many quality jobs to create that pressure for higher wages so they're stuck making ends meet. The solution is...to be smart and have a valuable skill set.
Soon after I moved I also started working out. I've gained about 50 lbs (mostly muscle), and have much better self-confidence. I would also say that helped.

My diet has also changed a lot, like another commentator mentioned.

Too many variables!

Bitcoin is what’s wrong with our society: An obsession with money over health, community, housing, food, etc. Bitcoin epitomizes our embrace of the new capitalist dystopia.
That seems like a big assumption. There is a very rich upper class in Afghanistan that lives a nearly-Western lifestyle.

If a student is female (1), in a robotics class (2), attending a school that had a robotics class (3), and planning a trip abroad to compete (4); the chances that their lives were at risk is zero. These girls are most likely going to an international school in the safest part of the country. It is expected that they will go to university abroad and after this experience, I'm sure a good number of doors opened up for them.

Something I rarely see discussed is the gender breakdown of bitcoin ownership.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't something like 90%+ men mining, trading, and owning bitcoin. If bitcoin really takes over the world, it's going to look like a bunch of dudes printed themselves a fortune and then convinced the rest of the world to buy it from them.
Wow, that's a huge transaction cost!
I am not sure about "want to" but you can never outsource the "core" of your company. You build software as your core product ? Don't outsource it. You provide marketing as your core ? Don't outsource it. The only thing you can consider outsourcing is things that are tangential and will never directly impact the viability of your company.
Other cultural changes in our past have been gradual and minor. Simultaneously saying that language norms are wrong, gender norms are wrong, a basic family structure doesn't matter, and there is no right or wrong way to live your life all at the same time is a _massive_ shock to the culture, and is unlike any other cultural change seen before in our country.
Worth checking out for backups is git-annex with remote bup repositories:

The point is we don't know that, because there's not that much info in the article. It's not known what is background of those girls and what did they actually build.
Great talk! Thanks for sharing
The entire Apple shtick and justification for their prices and so on is (used to be?) that they control the hardware and the software so it's supposedly a perfect match, it works well, installs and updates easily, it's tested well, it's polished, etc.

Meanwhile, just this year we had these bugs here and before that we had the "password got stored in hint field" one with new FS[0], some other one with keychain stealing[0], the Unicode problem with the new FS, the iPhone calculator bug with intentionally laggy animated + button ignoring input.

I'd expect them to walk on (colibre) egg shells for a few weeks now, some of these bugs are absolutely embarrassing (compared to bugs like Debian's OpenSSL RNG bug for example, which is a more nuanced one that requires real analysis and thought to find and understand properly as opposed to "my password is just shown" that anyone can understand).

I'm pretty negative towards Apple for reasons but if someone told me a year ago they'd have so many bugs in such a short time period I'd say they're being disingenuous since Apple has many real downsides (that it's users mind not care about but I happen to) but top quality.

One of the reasons, I assume, it is difficult to gain access to the US, even for teams of student-scientists, is because of things like this happening https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/07/23/mystery....
Other cryptocurrencies, which are meant for payment (like Dash) will eventually make it into the mainstream. It's a matter of 1 or 2 years in my opinion.
Bitcoin is digital gold, that is also a valid use case IMHO, and a good first step for cryptocurrencies. (Real gold has a 7 trillion market cap.)

(Warning: this will be downvoted because of mentioning Dash. Edit after multiple downvotes: Naive people think that they will be able to stop the (by far) best payment focused cryptocurrency by silencing others. The growth of Dash shows its dominance is inevitable.)
> The Macbook Pro is the best laptop out there as a power/battery life/build quality combo (having to spend for a "dongle" or new USB-C cables is not a technical concern for its technical capacity).

You have to be joking. Apple charges $2k just to get a quad-core CPU or more than 8GB of RAM. Soldered, mind you, so you can't just replace it later. Oh, and I hope you don't need more than 500GB of storage!

Build quality tends to include things like, you know, being able to fix it when things inevitably go wrong, rather than throwing it in the bin and paying $2k+ for another lottery ticket.

> The Apple Watch is the best in its kind technologically, and has overtaken the #1 traditional watch maker in sales (and moves more units than competitive smart-watches).

And Trump managed to get elected president. I guess that says more about the average consumer than about the product they're selling.

> The iPad continues to be the best tablet technology wise.

When was it ever?
There is an ‘or’ between each descriptive clause.

Both Apple Watch and AirPods have essentially captured their entire market.

AMD's version is PSP (Platform Security Processor or something like that) -- an ARM core with TrustZone, running code they won't show you. That code has no publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, which means that it's at least as secure as the Intel ME was a few months ago...
I really don't get the $4-$10 fee that everyone keeps talking about. The exchange I trade on charges me a minimum fee of 0.0001btc (which I keep cribbing about) to withdraw btc. I know from experience many of the times even fee below that gets happily accepted. 0.0001 translates to $1.2 fee.
Yeah I got pretty wrecked. Sometimes it was "what would your parents/in-laws/wife think if you did this..."

Other times it was more insidious, "would your baby still be so fond of you if you slowly crushed its head".

Ugh, I struggle just trying to type that last one out. They would always bring me to tears. I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing I suppose.

These have disappeared now that our kids is older and our emotional input is requited.

Tesla never had any plans to be only a "car tech" company. If Musk was "sensible" he wouldn't even have started the company in the first place.
Revolut will not accept. But you will be able to exchange USD, EUR and other currencies to Bitcoin (and vice versa). But you will not be able to transfer Bitcoin to Revolut or transfer Bitcoin out of Revolut. At least not at the first iteration of crypto currency support.
Wait, highly levered investments are risky -- who knew?
I mean, if one side is accepting reality and the other delusional, that statement holds. I don't think the grandparent was implying both sides held incompatible delusional ideas.

That’s exactly the point I understood, too. But for some people we are all equivalent so it’s a non-issue; for some others it’s an edulcorated form of ethnic cleansing. There are rarely be topics of greater divide where these two opposite ends cannot debate without feelings.
Typical. There used to be a cheaper alternative (Public Mobile), but they got bought and killed by one of the four giants. So now there is nothing cheaper.

This is certainly true for my province (Quebec), but the rest of Canada has the same (lack of) players, so I expect they have the same issues.

Math is multidisciplinary like none other. You could use graph theory, for example, to study relationships in music, sociology, chemical reactions, transportation systems, markets, ecosystems, whatever. And the insight you gain in applying it from one angle will almost certainly provide a fresh light when you pivot back to a different application.

Having a math PhD could also help cut through the bs of people thinking you're not useful because you're a generalist. Suddenly, they'd be asking you to help them with weird little problems. Which is what I'm pretty good at like to do!
If you're that concerned you should vote to increase taxe the wealthy. Hell, vote to tax wealth itself.

Then you won't need to worry about things like this as much.
I don't see why you think this is so significant. "During the transition" is still "before taking office."

But this was never really about violating that particular law, which is called the Logan Act. No one has ever been prosecuted for violating it. This is about the fact that Flynn lied about the meeting. This is not in dispute, not even by the Trump administration. So... why did Flynn lie? We don't yet know. But Robert Mueller does.
Thanks for your response. But I should have phrased my question better. I'm actually trying to reproduce the fonts Chrome uses, on my Firefox on Ubuntu.
Apparently, apple won't implement apfs for people on spinning rust so I can't get it on an iMac which made upgrading to high sierra easier. How did it go for people on macbooks?

Just like fiat money.
Like many, you’re not aware that the Lightning Network is on its way and will solve most of these issues.

Moreover, transactions between Segwit-compatible wallets is pretty fast and cheap.

I’m kind of tired to hear people complain about the fees while all they have to do is use a different wallet that supports Segwit.

Edit: Ah, the downvotes. I was expecting them.

I’ve also seen this connected with the rise of individualism that’s been going on since the early 80’s.

Allegedly though, according to the historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr, societies tend to move in 40 year periods of either community or individualism. Assuming individualism started in 1980, this would have it end in 2020.

These two books sum it up well:

The Cycles of American History https://www.amazon.com/dp/0395957931/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hYSi...

The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393313719/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CXSi...
ChromeOS fits reasonably well in this category. Unfortunately it's still too limited to compete directly with Apple, but it's already pretty useful.

>Why is it that the middle class who only have their single single-family house are the selfish ones?

This thread is largely an assault on the middle class in SF who happen to have been around when it was affordable to buy there by a swarm of very well salaried (but still priced out) techies who've by and large ruined SF with their presence as it is.

Like most Americans, the target isn't the rich because the techies in question see themselves as being those people someday.
Consider your logic in a different manner:

I assume you work in some form of technology. Technology and related jobs have seen their wages increase astronomically compared to textiles or fast food. Sorry, you're not impoverished. You, and everyone else in your town, are now subject to 100% tax above a certain threshold, at 110% of full time minimum wage. This is so we can give that money to people who chose to not enter technology.

Ridiculous. Moderate taxation on a progressive marginal increase is fine. The extreme is absurd. Property rights are what make trade work without having to hire armed thugs.

I absolutely reject the notion that a home owner's personal reserve price to walk away from their property should be coercable.

That being said, my neighbor should have little say over what happens on my property outside of mutually agreed covenants.
