"The problem isn't specifically Apple's batteries; it's with current Lithium-ion battery chemistry in general." - I'm not a battery expert, but at least according to this page [0], if you were to fit a 30% larger capacity battery, and only charge to a maximum of 4.0V instead of 4.2V, you'd apparently get the same day-to-day battery life, but the overall life of the battery would be extended 4x (ie from 1 years to 4 years)

They can do pretty much what they want unless there is a political movement in multiple countries to stop it. In other words, there has to be profit for a bunch politicians to stop it or what they're doing has to be highly morally unpalatable. Given there is no apparent profit for Elon Musk in going to Mars in the first place, it's unlikely a bunch of politicians will find profit in stopping him. There's probably votes in smoothing things over for him because hope always wins more votes than negativity.

> It is still a "collectible" card game, from a very reputable company, with a lot of expected longevity

That's 3 elements you mention. Lets see:

> It is still a "collectible" card game

Yeah, it is, but only the last X expansions are valid for play. So old cards become invalid for standard play. (Forgive me if I used the wrong term for 'standard'; I'm an old Magic: The Gathering player who has seen Wizards of the Coast adopt this model in the 90s; Blizzard just copied it.)

Hence,

> with a lot of expected longevity

is rather relative.

> from a very reputable company

Activision Blizzard, Inc. or Blizzard.

As for reputable, well. Blizzard is very good with RNG in their games. A lot of their games are evolving around RNG, and loot, trying to keep the player playing for their dopamine shot. Lets see: Warcraft 3 was already about RNG (it contained loot), then we got Hearthstone (yup), we got Diablo 3 (yup), we got Overwatch (yup), we got Starcraft II (nope, standard RTS, doesn't contain crit AFAIK), Heroes of the Storm (not sure, not into MOBA at all, seems not?).

Blizzard are the masters of RNG. Not every of their game is P2W (Pay 2 Win), I admit that, but if there is one of these where RNG or loot matters and be downright bought, it is Hearthstone (you can buy gold in WoW legally, but not loot). If you want to play a game competitively, forget Hearthstone. The only fair game mode is the single player one, and the arena one (which requires in-game currency).

They're also masters of grinds, that's deeply entwined in every Blizzard game except Starcraft II. Fat grinds with shortcuts is one profit model. Not all Blizzard games have this model, but one of their games stands out: the P2W Hearthstone game.

> There are so many Gacha style games that are WAY more of a rip off than that.

I don't know that game. I'm sure there are evil schemes out there, but I know about this particular company and this game and this game type quite well.

If you want to play Hearthstone competitive you're going to have to shell out like 200-400 EUR per expansion. Some successful players and streamers can afford, but it stays a gentlemen's elite club that way. Just like Magic was a game for rich student kids. Been there, done it.

And let us not forget, we are ignoring that we're getting children, teenagers, and young adults hooked on gambling.

I'm curious which part of the story you're referring to in particular.

If it's this opening:

"One Sunday in November 20-year-old Alani Murrieta of Phoenix began to feel sick and left work early."

US articles often intro with things like that, on the premise that it constructs a human narrative aspect to the story that wider audiences prefer, rather than strictly / only focusing on the scientific aspect of it. It's basically an attempt by a scientific publication, to reach a little beyond its core readership and appeal to eg social media click-throughs (one viral uptake on Facebook and they probably triple their audience for a given article).

Tips for Improving Tech Talks
It's not a reversion, it's a continued evolution. As Dworkin noted:

> Empirically speaking, sexual liberation was practiced by women on a wide scale in the sixties and it did not work: that is, it did not free women. Its purpose—it turned out—was to free men to use women without bourgeois constraints, and in that it was successful.

The hippies became Reaganites and women were allowed to participate in the economy to some extent, but that freedom also came with the expectation of sexual availability. You see it even now: suggest that maybe we should prohibit relationships between coworkers, and men flip out. The idea that we might categorically close off some spheres of life to sexual advances, so that women can work in peace and build their careers, induces apoplexy.

Things are different the closer to Russia a country is (like Romania, from where I'm from). The thing with the fake FB accounts only showing "nice girls" as profile photos is all too real, I think I've reported 2 or 3 of them directly to FB, nothing happened, at which point I started calling them out as shill accounts directly. It's interesting seeing Russian propaganda in action. For Romania they have a website called sputnik.md which apparently is centered on Republic of Moldova's domestic issues, but every couple of days or so they have an article on Romania whose exact ideas then get regurgitated by some of the Romanian corrupt politicians or by the local corrupt media supporting them another couple of days later.

> I see this happening frequently even where there is zero motive for Russians to be involved, but it is no less effective as we've let the authorities do our thinking for us for so long.

Everybody gets involved, everybody, because it's so easy and relatively cheap and because the stakes are so high (controlling the public discourse, world-wide). It's just that at the moment the Russians are better at this internet-influencing game compared to the Americans and their allies (imho the Israelis are the best, but they only get involved when there's talk about Gaza and the West Bank). I guess this is payback for Radio Free Europe and Radio Voice of America, when the US used to have the upper hand.
That’d be cool if citizens just did this to make a point. Could the cameras be small or discrete enough to install in several places in DC, so that even politicians walk by a website is updated? There has to be enough video training footage for them in the public. What’s the legality of this?

Coinbase wire never arrived in my account
I put in 15,000 USD from my bank account to my coinbase account so I could try to buy and sell some crypto. I decided to withdraw them days later and did so on DEC 12. On DEC 13 coinbase send my a mail confirming they had send a wire to my account and that the money would be in my account on DEC 16. Now we have DEC 21 and the money still hasn't come. I have now gone to my bank twice to make them check but they say the wire was never send. On my coinbase account the transaction posts as completed but the money has vanished.

I've spent two days trying to reach someone from coinbase but their support mail is not enabled, they do not answer the phone unless my account has been hacked and I keep getting redirected back to a support bot that can't help me.

Any suggestions on how I can in touch with someone at Coinbase who can correct their mistake and wire me my money back will be very welcome.

Thanks!
Apple’s Design Delirium
Maybe I'm misinterpreting but in a way it sounds like he's saying that YC sometimes (often?) bet on ideas / teams that turn out to be crap. Well, of course that's going to be true.

Just they same, prestige or not, track record or not, it's also possible that not all ideas / teams were the right fit for the YC program. That is, yes within YC they were bad bets, but that's not to say things won't change once they're away from the VC dynamic.

Finally, perhaps he feels that by others putting money into what YC might consider a lost cause, those others will eventually realize what YC realized? But now the losses of others could be "blamed" on YC and thus tarnish the YC brand going forward?

No one had done this as well before, because Apple was the first to implement good embedded battery conditioning software so they would last a couple years without needing replacement.

Clearly, it seems to be the opposite. After using all kinds of laptops, the main benefits of Apple laptops AFAICT is that they don't come with pre-installed bullshit, they're easier to test because they only come in like 5 varieties, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands combinations that Windows has to deal with, and that OSX can be easier to use, for some users. I would recommend apple to any non-technical user for sure. I personally have never found apple hardware to be any different than other brands. I'm still using my Sony laptop from 2011 and its just as fast and rock-solid as the day I purchased it. As an aside, Microsoft doesn't usually cripple their popular software (Office, Visual studio, etc) so that it requires the latest OS, unlike Apple which forces you on the upgrade treadmill - sure, its free, but you also don't have a choice. YMMV ofcource.

Once in a while, there is a guy who is asking for help on his project or there is an old weird bug to fix and you dive in other stuff. Otherwise, it's like it's not there.

I think the root problem is that apparently connections to http://localhost from a https:// site are considered mixed content and therefore blocked. I thought there was an exception for localhost, but apparently there isn't. [1] (I don't really understand the rationale for this)

So with connections to http://localhost not possible due to mixed content and connections to https://localhost not possible because your cert will be blocked, there doesn't seem to be any obvious way left to connect from https to localhost at all.

It's not very hard to see that "Republicans" are a very diverse bunch... which is very much unlike the left, where if you don't keep up with their latest "progressive" ideas and fail to parrot them verbatim, you're excluded from the group... so anyone on the left not able to grasp the diversity of ideas within Republicans is actually understandable. However, I encourage you to at least consider the idea that "Republicans" are composed of people who vastly disagree on almost everything on various levels... which is kind of what you'd expect anywhere where free thinking is encouraged. When people think for themselves, since people have different experiences, they end up caring about and prioritizing different things and even disagreeing with each other. Compare that to masses being brainwashed using propaganda where everyone "happens" to think the same and agree on everything... until something changes and everyone happens to change at the same time.

Dropbox is very heavily invested in Python. I am under impression they hired Guido van Rossum to do exactly this, among other things. First 100% statically type the old codebase, then port it to Python 3.

You can statically type Python 2 codebases, but the language does not offer native support for it. Thus, all needs to go to docstrings or comments.

So your first complaint is that the phrase "having been marred by gang violence in recent years" doesn't fully express that the violence included "multiple stabbings" and "homicides." Uh, that's what gang violence usually entails: stabbings, shootings, and murder.

You chalk that up to the writer intentionally ("conveniently") omitting that. Then you cite the NY Post, widely acknowledged as a sensational tabloid, presumably as an example of the coverage you prefer?

Then, you take fault with the author expressing their opinion that the festival had "an overwhelming show of force."

Is that all the author complained about in this respect? They didn't say "damn fascists!" or anything else? They didn't attach any value judgment -- YOU did. The author just pointed out that it was an "overwhelming show of force" which you admit did make the event safer.

If this is the awful, biased "liberal" media you're worried about, you should probably stick to the Post. That way all of your existing biases can be reinforced.

Have you looked at Alphabet or other big company board? One thing you will notice is that lot of board members are actually from giant investment funds (3 in case of Google, much worse for companies like Microsoft). Regardless of who owns voting shares, these investors have huge say on how things gets done.

For example, they can threaten to dump their stock or not buy in anymore. Because of small daily volumes relative to market cap even small dumping can have huge price swings in stock. For public companies, their stock is literally a currency. They use it for acquisitions, hiring and so on. These investors can reject motions in board voting and usually always want to tighten screws for short term gains.

Now you should have more understanding on why Google was forced to hire people like Ruth Porat as CFOs and why she can cut down on so many projects for "more business focus" and increase "shareholder value". Owning majority voting shares are not that useful as they were hyped up to be.
