Mostly the lack of ports. We had to buy a ton of new monitors at work because most of our existing ones wouldn't work or didn't work well, even with adapters. If you travel with them you have to carry adapters, because there's only about a 1% chance any given monitor you need to plug into on the road is USB-C. Ditto anything else you might need to plug in. Including your friggin' iPhone. Chance of my doing that with my personal equipment, dropping hundreds on top of the (now higher) price of a new MacBook? Precisely zero. My 2015 will have to serve me until they get their shit together, most of my stuff is upgraded to USB-C anyway (guarantee that's more than 5 years off), or I give up and switch to Arch or something.

Some people love the keyboard, some people hate it, so call that a wash. I recently had to use a two-generations-ago MacBook keyboard (last model with an optical drive, I think) after getting very used to 2014+ and the current ultra-thin one, and... I actually liked that one better than both the newer ones, and I don't hate the newest one, it's just less nice to use than the one two generations ago. Also gets crippled by specs of dust, seemingly, which is annoying.

Well, he's bearish, so he's only moderately long, if at all, and spends money on downside protection. That bleeds.

That thing’s unsupported for user mode apps. The correct API is GetSecurityInfo().

The main problem with backup/restore these things is SIDs. Windows ACLs are much more sophisticated then these 6 bits in Linux.

It will work in some cases, e.g. when the owners are, and all the permissions are granted/denied to, a well known (1) group such as "Everyone". Or when all these SIDs are domain users SIDs, and you’re restoring to a PC that’s on the same domain.

It won’t work in many other cases, e.g. when these permissions were granted to some local user and you’ve reinstalled Windows between backup & restore.

That’s why in Windows it is typically considered OK to not bother backing up/restoring these ACLs.

The author correctly points out that the Bay Area's problems are political in origin, and that tech companies and technologists in general have been reticent to get dirty with politics.

However, their solution, putting tech companies under more democratic control, does not solve the problems specified.

Raytheon and Lockheed Martin's work is under democratic control. As are the zoning policies which keep out poor and middle class citizens from the few parts of the country which have benefited from our economic growth. The companies that charge our local state and federal governments 10x what Europeans to build roads, bridges, mass transit and build other projects are very tightly controlled by our democratic systems.

Facebook and Google are not preventing people from building housing. They are not building tools for the government to round up "undesirables", nor are they building drones that blow up civilians. They are building technology that allows advertisers to more accurately sell people stuff.

It should be obvious to anyone at this point that this could be used for nefarious purposes. But so can any number of other technologies developed over the past two centuries. The 20th century was a testament to how much murder humans can commit when given the opportunity, and we did not need machine learning to make it happen.
AVX code is known to make the CPU run way hotter than usual. Perhaps that caused throttling that made general code running at the same time, or within a short span thereafter, perform worse?

It's not hard to read his point. For startups, the bay area is nearly almost the first market to launch in. Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, numerous food delivery services, or anything aimed at the SMB market, all of this goes in production in bay area first and this place is closer to the ultimate digital utopia than anywhere else in the country. His point is that it doesn't make "the world a better place", presumably because all value is captured by the capital owners [his comparison to industrial revolution]
You know you are in a regulation bubble when the caution and judgement of the most highly trained professionals in our society is reflexively concluded to be inadequate and inferior to that of bureaucrats even when said professionals are working on the DEAD, whom they have no chance of harming.

The regulation fetish has become a form of magical thinking. In the thinking of the regulation fetishist, the lack of explicit permission from authority is in and of itself dangerous, but the danger could be easily neutralized by a talismanic permit!

The fact that these professionals have already adhered to countless existing regulations and have been trained to safely deal with bodily fluids and infection risk is immaterial to the regulation fetishist. The government has not explicitly granted permission for this exact activity. In this mindset anything that is not enumerated as an allowed activity is dangerous and should be forbidden.
Are you arguing all entertainment costs are wasteful?

If I hire you to act in a TV show and then stream it to a million people, would you also say no value is created?

What is value, if not what makes people happy / gives them utility? If someone is willing to pay someone to dig a hole, then that digging gives them value (assuming no fraud/ etc).
It's not capitalism either, because open source developers don't sell code, or write code under pressure of earning a living. They just write it and give it away.

Not sure what the right word is, but textbook-definition communism fits - open-source code isn't really owned in practical sense.

"Communism" — the leading capital due to its being the first word in the sentence — is an economic model. "Communism", the Soviet-style phenomenon is not "communism", either in principle, or in practice.

It's really just about running a wordpress site. My blog is a wordpress so I'm pretty familiar with it. Just need a good theme.

It couldn't be further from being a scene site. The content is limited and most of it is published late compared to some other sources available.

AdFly is a mix of pay per view and pay per click. Didn't think it was worth a specific category but why not.

Crypto is a new thing, that certainly wasn't available a year ago. That's a very interesting point though, shady sites will probably be the first ones to have a good use for it.
>Bitcoin absolutely could go full bust. It is not a physical commodity, there is no utility outside of its perceived value. It is not a company, so it doesn't even have book value as its floor. And the technology is open source and well known, so there is nothing special or scarce about Bitcoin technology at this point. Even the companies that have capital investments in Bitcoin hardware could just repurpose that for a forked coin or possibly some other purpose altogether

Disclaimer: I own zero cryptocurrencies, but have a decent knowledge of the space

Here's why I think Bitcoin will never go bust entirely, regardless of the day to day price: it's the area under the curve of POW energy expenditure. At this point, so much energy has been expended mining bitcoin that that in itself creates value. Even if the price crashes 100x it will always be worth something. And whatever that "something" is, no one can say yet. But I would wager that it's much higher than whatever the initial players bought in for (in terms of cash or energy spent mining). Sure plenty of other altcoins can come along in the future, but catching up with the level of work that has been done on the Bitcoin blockchain at this point seems impossible to ever do. It's simply a matter of compute power that is physically available.
This is wavering off topic, but since it's an intersting topic and you asked, let's do it.

Open source is inherently communistic because nobody owns anything. You have control over your own project, but that's where it stops. You cannot force open source maintainers to do something. This is unlike capitalism; at a standard company, your NDA forces you not to disclose secrets. In open source, there are no secrets to disclose, short of drama and private infighting. A non-compete prevents you from forking the business you work for. These are unenforceable in Cali, but the rest of the US is not so lucky.

You are bound to a paycheck that determines your fate. This is the essence of capitalism.

Contrast that with open source: people don't merely contribute because they want to. It increases their reputation. Ditto for a review system on darknet markets.

Both of these things are very unlike capitalism. So if not communism, then what? Not libertarianism. There's no ownership, and ownership is central to libertarian ideals.
In places with an established drug scene I'd expect that unhappy customer == dead dealer, because other parties will work to protect their commons (reputation of the market) against random defectors looking for quick buck.
Correct me if I'm wrong though: equity is issued in net positive supply. And while the company has equity on the book as a liability, that liability does not go up when the stock price goes up, right.

Thus, when stock price doubles, it is wealth creation for the shareholders (and if they'd sell to someone else, it would be realised).

Edit to add: unlike derivatives (like call options), which are in net zero supply, thus their payouts are always zero-sum.
You're absolutely correct, and like I said a lot of people run their Plan 9 systems with all the services on one box, which kills a lot of the security advantages.

However, if you compare setting up a Plan 9 auth server to setting up a Kerberos server... well, basically anything to do with Kerberos makes me long for death. The Plan 9 auth system is one of the best things they made and I highly recommend checking out the paper: https://css.csail.mit.edu/6.858/2013/readings/plan9auth.pdf

I'll be off-topic with you. Your scenario seems a little different, because I could still shop with dollars at the 49% of stores that still like me. Whereas if bitcoin replaced dollars, even those 49% of stores that liked me couldn't take my money, because the 51% can veto the transaction.
I think I may have been somewhat of a special case for Touch Id -- I could never get it to work reliably for me.

Or somebody who prefers a larger screen and finds that to outweigh the drawbacks that come from it... I know lots of people with Plusses and none have particularly large hands and, more often than wanting to "make a statement", they count it as a drawback that it appears so large.

A friend recently moved into a new apartment. She only got 4 channels, one of which almost exclusively shows American Greed and Forensic Files. I've been pleasantly surprised by how interesting the show is! It's particularly interesting when you see episodes that happened within a couple hours of wherever you live.
I guess it depends on what you want. For me, it means if I lose my phone I can be reasonably confident someone is not going to be able to log into it. It means I can leave my phone out on the counter and not worry about someone peaking at my incoming notifications, or snooping on my phone.

So for me, that's reliable enough.

The seemless part is when I'm using my phone, I barely notice that I'm authing it with face ID. So, pretty seemless.
By that definition Lukashenko is not a dictator. The protest the last spring resulting in reversal of his decree shows that he has constrains and cannot change laws at whim.
Here's an article from October: http://www.sfgate.com/business/networth/article/New-law-bans...

AB168, signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown, applies to all public- and private-sector California employers of any size. The goal is to narrow the gender wage gap. If a woman is paid less than a man doing the same job and a new employer bases her pay on her prior salary, gender discrimination can be perpetuated, the bill’s backers say.

Last year, the state passed a weaker law that said prior compensation, by itself, cannot justify any disparity in compensation. The new bill goes further by prohibiting employers, “orally or in writing, personally or through an agent,” from asking about an applicant’s previous pay. However, if the applicant “voluntarily and without prompting” provides this information, the employer may use it “in determining the salary for that applicant.”

Delaware, Massachusetts and Oregon have passed similar laws that take effect later this year or next, said attorney Ben Ebbink of Fisher & Phillips in Sacramento. Philadelphia passed one that was supposed to take effect in May but is being challenged in court. New York City and San Francisco have similar ordinances that take effect Oct. 31 and July 1, respectively.

Heh, nice try, but you don't even need a big interface to see how that pans out.

You realize how sedentary you are when you have to use a huge multitouch monitor for... half hour. Your arms will be heavy from just pointing and clicking at the screen in front of you.

This situation is very sad and I'm also looking for alternatives.

Right now what I'm doing is just taking a 5 min break every hour at work and walk to some random part of the complex pretending I'm delivering something or running some errand, just to get me a lil walk and stand time. While they allow me to do that just fine, I know I am also hurting my productivity quite badly because you're never in that kind of flow state where hours pass like minutes.

I want:

- Good productivity. Good time alloted to 'flow'
- Not fuck my health in the long term too badly.

Let's share ideas!
How would the end buyer know if the tests were genuine? The vendors could easily be paying for good results since there’s zero transparency or ability to check.
>This architecture sounds old to me, as in things were built like that in the 80s or earlier but evolved past.

Actually most modern OSes in use are even older in their concepts.

Plan 9's concepts as described above have slowly creeped into Linux but not fully. So the architecture above was only experimental in the 80s/90s and is still nowhere available in the mainstream today.

So your concern is like saying "we've had macros and closures since the 70s" in a world that still uses Java/C#/etc.

I keep thinking parking a fully equipped van on a parking meter in San Francisco every day would be a very cost effective 'rental' option instead of paying for square footage in a building.

If work dominated your every moment would life be worth living?
Thanks, I will read up on that. The problem I'm trying to solve, is I tried restoring c:\Users from a tar backup backup, and it took quite a while of clicking to get all the permissions sorted out.

As for "permissions were granted to some local user", in the tar file format it stores a UID/GID number, as well as a username/groupname, so when restoring to a different system the username takes precedence over the UID number. Could the same idea work on Windows? (Granted, I'd probably have to store this in the PAX header's name/value pairs, due to potentially longer length of the UID numbers).

The other item I've read is that Windows file permissions can be inherited from parent objects, so it may be useful to store those permissions, but not restore them (or give a warning if the effective permissions end up being different due to restoring to a different location).
You're a fanboy because you believe poor design and high prices are acceptable since it's nice and shiny on the outside.

Great comment though.
I'm generally skeptical of regulations but in this case I think it's warranted because companies were basically "price fixing" by asking candidates about their previous salary and then matching or nudging up a bit.

This piece of regulation will make the market more efficient, dynamic, and fair too. Companies already have information asymmetry working to their advantage. Asking about salary history only increased that. And that's why it's unfair.
People are not 100% deterministic, but evidences also show that expert con man and similarly persuasive people can trigger emotions and thoughts in others reliably.
