FCC commission appointments have nothing to do with representative democracy, they're the domain of the president.

So why don't they do that? If they're responding to a bot's HTTP requests with content, they are choosing to give the bot access.
A summary is always a compromise, a judgment on which 95% of the text to leave off. Because of this, an ideal summary is hardly possible, and someone may always complain that a salient point was left out. This is not because the summary is "objectively bad", it's because the compression is lossy, and what's seen as salient differs between observers.

Nope.

The linked Snopes article that they use for this viewpoint is badly worded. Although the headline claim is 'It is illegal to take photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night without explicit permission', nowhere in the text does it describe the act of taking a photograph as being illegal. It is all about publishing your photos and sharing them with others.

Would you kindly point out where we elect the representatives on the FCC?
I find it very hard to understand why they have not done this yet. I am even willing to sacrifice on the upgradability, since this is a sacrifice we have been making by default in recent years. But not being able to select a 32GB RAM option is just terrible.

At the price of a Macbook Pro one can hardly argue that it is a office productivity tool since it is clearly aimed at the "Pro" market. If the situation does not change then it is going to force pro users to look at alternatives.

How far do you go down the chain? At some point you'll hit a layer that the internet has no control over - the users machine. You can https every page on every site if you want, but if the users machine is compromised, then it's not going to help one bit.

ALL https says is 'hey i'm encrypted' it doesn't PROVE to the end user that it's really who it says it is. Extended Validation was supposed to fix this, but that ended up as an evil money grabbing exercise by the CAs so that didn't get the adoption it needed.

Until there's a secure validation banner at the top of the browsers that contains an unfakeable and unbreakable 'this is who I am' statement, then https is just a sticking plaster/bandaid over the whole problem.

And for those who say 'https prevents man in the middle attacks' - no it does not. There are several network level devices that by design decrypt/review/encrypt/spoof-cert traffic to clients (WAN Accelerators and Corporate Proxies being good examples) something that can only be overcome by Security Pinning the Certs to IP addresses... but again hardly anyone does that either.

You might agree, but you're both completely wrong. As James Damore proved, the exchange goes like this:

A: Statistically speaking, there are some genetic explanations for trends we see between men and women.
B: That is a sexist thing to say that women can't do tech, so you are harming women in tech. You need to be fired.
A: But... that's not what I said...

(A is fired)

B: SO COURAGEOUS of the company to fire that employee for those bigoted ideas
C: Why can't we have a free exchange of ideas?
D: Every time someone says something bigoted, they're like "muh free speech!" Stop saying bigoted things!

Where did I imply intrinsic value requires physical presence? Businesses produce cash flow, and therefore ownership stakes (stocks) have intrinsic value. Gold is used in manufacturing and has an intrinsic value (lower than its traded value). Bitcoin has 0 intrinsic value. This is not a slight against Bitcoin, it's just a property of most currencies. Bitcoin is no exception.

A good thought experiment for whether something has intrinsic value is: would <thing> still be useful if nobody else on the planet wanted it? A share in a business would continue paying out dividends, and would absolutely be useful. A dollar bill would be useless (especially if it's an electronic dollar). A bitcoin would also be absolutely useless.
The idea that "ideas can be dangerous" is a dangerous idea.

You missed a possibility: I wanted to complain about seeing things in Facebook that I do not want to see nor add any value to my life, which is exactly what I wrote in my post. It also happens to be the accurate selection of my intent.

Generally curious why don't you use instagram or snapchat, if you are just sharing pictures and updates of your son with friends and family?

I assume the main reason is the older members of your family only have facebook.
We need to accept that some of these ideas ... are inherently dangerous.

Maybe but somehow we don't focus on dangerous ideas. Communism is by far the most dangerous idea devised in the west. It infected dozens of societies and led them to a century of poverty, slavery, and hundred million deaths.

Yet someone who's open about being a communist won't really be ostracised in SF. Communist flags are available on Amazon. Communist subreddits are not banned. So no, I don't buy this new wave of censorship as a defence against dangerous ideas.
The argument they'll most likely make is that the merger will encourage competition by allowing them to compete with Netflix, Amazon, etc. in an evolving landscape that they're trying to keep up with (i.e. "if you don't let us do this, those guys are going to take over the world"). Similar arguments have been made for the AT&T/Time Warner merger and we'll see if it carries any weight when they face of with the DOJ in March. Not a perfect proxy given that one is horizontal and the other vertical, but may be a helpful indicator nonetheless.
It would be funny for him, since he and his friends will all profit from this heavily.

The issue is that what we're discussing is not objectively unethical. If we were discussing disecting live babies, then no one would disagree that anyone for that is unethical and even evil. But extending human life? We don't know exactly what would happen if we did that. Some people think it would be the end of the world, others (like me) think it would actually bring about positive change. Given that it's controversial, the problem is stating "I believe it's dangerous and wrong" and combinding that with "and therefor you are a bad/unethical person". That is censoring and shutting down the argument. Who are you to make that call?
Maybe I'm old and grumpy, but things seem pretty crazy these days on campuses.

When I entered university in 1989, there was an extremely controversial professor at my school [1]. There was outrage accompanied with generally peaceful protests.

How it was handled at my school back then was that they organized a live TV debate with someone to argue the side against the professor's position.

In other words, we the students (and the public for that matter) were treated like adults and we were expected to be able to hear and process ideas we may not agree with without overreacting or having our heads explode. IIRC, the whole notion of going to university, among other things, was to further develop our critical thinking skills. That seems to be hard to do in an echo chamber.

Can you explain your last paragraph further? Obviously saying you agree with something you never read is a bad idea. Since you haven't read it, you don't know how bad it is, right? For all you know it could be Mein Kampf. Or it could just say your boss is an idiot, or that working at your company is a waste of time, etc. Especially as a knowledge worker, ideas you espouse at work could affect your employability, so you should know what they are before espousing them. We aren't a bunch of robots - our productivity is influenced by what our colleagues say.
As a scientist that has worked for a medical lab and pharma in the past, I actually have somewhat similar reasons for leaving the industry and I actually feel like my reasons are controversial and I’m “not allowed to talk about them.”

Scientists get paid like children, seriously most in medium size cities can’t afford a mortgage on the crappiest house in the cities they work in. I will not build products to extend the lives of NIMBYs that vote against high-density housing and public transportation all for a shit salary that can’t even get me a house!

I’m basically extending the lives of selfish people while simultaneously making it harder for me to ever buy a home. Die NIMBYs Die. I’d love to help you live longer if you’d let me own a home, but you’ve proven you’ll prevent that as long as it benefits you.

So, die NIMBYs die.
From my perspective, I don't want to work in an environment where people are voicing their opinion that (e.g.) gay marriage is illegitimate or wrong. How am I supposed to work with someone who thinks a huge part of my life is immoral? I would have an incredibly hard time believing that that person was taking me seriously, really wanted to work with me, wasn't going to undercut me, or trusted me.

It's not that you can't have these opinions or voice them -- but it's also not the case that the people who are most affected by those opinions are going to feel OK about it.

I really like the original Lee/Kirby comics (and Byrne's run in a similar style), and I'd love to see movies that were true to the best parts of those comics. The only good FF movie we've gotten so far was called The Incredibles, but there's no reason why the real FF movies couldn't be at least as good and successful.

Except the lack of Nvidia GPU options means it's not for many creatives either - none of the three dominant GPU renderers will run on the Vega GPUs that Apple is offering.
Intel. Currently, if you want to use low power RAM with an Intel mobile chip, you have to use LP-DDR3 in a config that maxes out at 16GB. You can also use non-LP DDR4 up to 32GB (Dell makes a laptop that does, for instance), but at that point you have a somewhat increased power draw when the system is running, and a _dramatically_ increased power draw on standby (IIRC about five times the power). Apple laptops have traditionally had excellent standby battery life; they're presumably not willing to sacrifice this.

Upcoming Intel mobile chips will resolve this, allowing use of LP-DDR4.
In that article, and the snopes article it links to, it is implied that it is illegal to even take the picture. But then I fail to actually see where it is implicitly stated that it is illegal to take the picture. I can understand the copyright claim on publishing said photos, because that's actually the case for lots of things that can be viewed in public, but not taking the photo itself.

I really wish articles would refrain from potentially untrue clickbait headlines, but oh well.
With the old chipset generation you had the choice between a low power chipset that could sport 16GB tops, or a desktop chipset that could do more - but also draw lots more power. Windows laptops often chose the latter, but Apple on the path to a 1mm thin MBP chose to sacrifice RAM for thinness and battery life.

Introducing Cloudtoken: Console Access to Federated Authentication Tokens
Yeah, the current Intel chipsets support DDR4 which can go beyond 16GB or LPDDR3 which is capped at 16GB (LP = low power). So Apple had the choice between a higher RAM ceiling or longer battery life, and they choses longer battery life.

The forthcoming Cannon Lake chips will support LPDDR4, enabling MacBook Pros with a higher RAM ceiling without sacrificing power utilization.

>How far is it from "they must be unethical" to "we should boycott their means of feeding their family" or even "we should probably put them in jail before they do something bad".

Well the jail comparison is really far away. The boycott one probably isn't so far but who cares? If people band together to boycott someone they view as unethical that doesn't seem wrong to me.

>No, he's asking not to be criticized for his ideas. And it's troubling to me that you think what you presented is a proper discourse but I guess that's where we are today. The "someone else" in your example is simple minded and potentially dangerous in large enough numbers.

Or we're dangerous in large numbers huh? How long until you start jailing us?!?!
Anyways somehow I don't think people are calling just any idea unethical. Usually the idea that provokes this kind of response is an idea which involves hurting some one or some group. The idea that I can work towards something which hurts a lot of people and not be criticized for it? Come on man.

>It is not at all a given that people living longer would be disasterous for the environment [1] and therefor, no, people working on this may not be unethical.

Then make the argument. Where Sam cuts this conversation is totally arbitrary but it invokes the feeling that calling someone unethical ends the conversation. No, it's a claim. You don't think it's unethical then argue back. Maybe the someone else is convinced, maybe not, that's called a conversation.
He graduated in 1966, so it's been at least 51 years now. There's a pretty good chance the professor is dead, and a near-certainty he's retired. So I would say close to no chance at this point. Back when Esquire did the story in 1978, however, it had only been 12-15 years. It's within the realm of possibility the grade book would have been findable at that time.

If this was so, they'd provide a config option with a cheap GPU and less storage (or alternatively provide a Xeon option for the ordinary iMac). Many/most developers don't need a $600 GPU or 1TB of super-fast storage, but do want the extra core count.

IIRC they used to do this with the tower Mac Pros; the base option had a cheapish graphics card. Base model price went up dramatically with the trashcan, which made high-end GPUs mandatory.
It's feasible and responsible in some circumstances (e.g., you are comfortable with savings, then your income collapses and you have no near term prospects, but you have a working vehicle, a destination with better prospects, and savings to cover costs during the move and in the gal between relocation and securing a job or at least establishing local benefit eligibility. (Or, in place of savings, softer assets like a social network that includes people willing to provide short term assistance in the destination location, either in cash or in kind, such as a place to stay.)

If you are working but food insecure without savings or such alternative support assets, then even if the long-term prospects are better in the destination, it may not be l
feasible or, even if feasible, responsible because of the transition costs.

You can't make up for starvation today with better long-term prospects.

This really resonates with me. One reason I like working in software is that many of the limitations of other engineering disciplines (the strength of materials, the weight of concrete, etc) don’t limit our creations. Our limits are our own ability to manage complexity and the limits of what we can dream to do.

Lack of a 32GB option in the MacBook Pros is because Intel's memory controller cannot handle LPDDR4 (except in U SKUs, which Apple does not use for MacBook Pro), and Apple decided using regular DDR4 to reach 32GB would consume too much power. [1]

Apparently Intel will fix this in their 2018 mobile SKUs, but until then Apple has chosen not to kneecap battery life or build a different logic board for the people who want 32GB.

This situation has a lot of parallels for me to the situation they faced with IBM and the G5. Everyone at the time wanted the G5 in a laptop to replace the G4, but IBM couldn't get the power consumption down.

Now over a decade later, Apple is taking shit for Intel's delays in supporting LPDDR4. I bet this is going to accelerate their plans to migrate Mac to their own ARM designs.

They can turn the servers off at night too. Some places still choose to do that.
