Terraria (178k followers) and Don't Starve (63k followers) get this stuff because they have the kind of playerbase size that makes people feel like the devs won't ever see their message anyhow. They tried to ask for stuff, or saw others try and didn't even see evidence that the devs saw the question. So they figure it's fine to just yell at the ocean.

The first IPO in YCombinator portfolio. Quite interesting they had to invest in 1450 companies first and now after 12 years the first IPO.

As of 2017, Y Combinator had invested in ~1,450 companies
including Dropbox, Airbnb, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit,
Zenefits, BuildZoom, Instacart, Twitch.tv, Machine Zone,
Weebly, Paribus, and Chinese startup Raven Tech. The
combined market capitalization of YC companies was over $80B.

A handful of the YC companies are well known including Dropbox, AirBnB, Stripe, Reddit, InstaCart, Twitch (bought by Amazon) and two rather infamous ones Zenefits and Coinbase.

The next IPO will be AirBnB, but then ahead is another lean period.
Project Shivom
Shivom is spearheading The Next Era of Genomics and powering the transition to value-based precision healthcare. Our focus is on the transformational convergence of OMICS technologies with blockchain, artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable secure and personalized medicine with global scalability. Using Blockchain, Shivom offers the first ever integrated solution for patients and genome data donors to empower everyone to have their genome sequenced and safely stored - with donors retaining full ownership of their data, their DNA identity, how it is shared and even being able to monetize its usage.

We are creating a revolutionary and data driven medical genomics ecosystem that will enable an open web-marketplace for other providers to add their health apps and medical services and will additionally build a state-of-the art and not-for-profit drug discovery and precision medicine organization. This is catalyzed by our vision to change people’s lives and open-up access to personalized health and wellbeing opportunities for all. The time is now to use genome sequencing so that anyone in the world can access the best in regular preventive care and health promotion.
I think it's a little bit more about honesty than safety. Sort of like the advice pounded into us in our teenage years to "just be yourself" because people can smell insecurity from a mile away.

the racist Birther / “born in Kenya” meme

1) how is that concept racist given that he would have had the same ethnic makeup wherever he was born?

2) the whole "born in Kenya" media rant was meaningless given that he would be qualified to serve as President wherever he was born under US law at the time of his birth, given his mother's natural-born citizenship.

Because the promotion process is based on feedback from your peers, but is decided by a random selection of people two levels higher than you, this shouldn't particularly be the case. I mean you could obviously alienate all your peers, such that nobody would give you even the faintest praise in your peer feedback, but that seems almost as hard as being promoted :). Again, your manager and your management chain don't directly decide whether or not you're promoted here. It's overall refreshing, if imperfect.
You're not being circumspect, because what you said initially was clear. I gave you a chance to take it back, and you went further. Also, anyone who equivocates on something like that rather than simply condemning clearly is promoting the idea; for example, if a public figure spoke like you, nobody would doubt what they mean and they would lose their job.
I have the exact opposite experience so far. By all means, this is a professional laptop in my opinion.

To expand a bit:

- I love the keyboard, best I've seen on a laptop (I'm a 80+ WPM typist)

- I don't have issues with the touchbar, getting used to quickly manage apps like spotify.

- My default editor is vim and don't have issues with escape

- Trackpad is the best I've seen on a laptop

- The machine is fast

- The screen is amazing

- Battery life is decent

ps. On the other side, I don't have experience working on a high-end XPS/Thinkpad, but the main reason to buy is the OS. My workflow and tools are tailored around the mac. It's not that I can't find my way through Linux or even a BSD Laptop running i3. It's that I don't want to.

Its my understanding that Google disclosed this vulnerability to ARM, Intel, and AMD, and no one else, and left the hardware manufacturers the job of disclosing to the various software vendors. So, they gave 6 months to the people they disclosed the vulnerability to. Those people did or did not disclose it to others.

The old 15” MacBook Pro design with Iris Pro graphics looks like the best Mac laptop available right now, unless you cant cope without more graphics horsepower. For most of the last year I’ve been dithering about getting a new MacBook, and when I first saw the touchbar models I though that was the design for me, but I’ve never pulled the trigger. The negative issues individually wouldn’t be a big deal, so at first I discounted them, but taken altogether it’s too much. I’ll see what they come up with this year, and if they don’t address most of these issues I’ll look at getting a previous design machine second hand.
“Pro”. People should really start using quotes when saying “Macbook ‘Pro’” or omit “Pro” entirely.

A good article about the Macbooks is “The Best Laptop Ever Made” https://marco.org/2017/11/14/best-laptop-ever
> the points you called out in detail (which are all valid)

Do you really want to say this is valid?

at least someone has the same thought as me
Yeah I'm pretty sure this Macbook Pro I have from 2014 will be my first and last. I've loved it, I'd buy it again, if it was the same design with new specs. I'm not going to downgrade for the same or an increased price tag. And for what? Shaving 0.3lbs off? Worse battery life? Someone get those noodley Apple designers some weights to lift. And some brains.
I agree with everything in this post. I rarely use my laptop as a laptop.

I stick it on my stand and plug in my Vortex Race3 and wait for Apple to make a laptop that doesn't suck.
My only complaint is the lack of Escape key, but maybe Apple didn’t have touch typists in mind.
I've been considering buying a new MacBook Pro, but the advice I hear is to just wait for the next model (in a few months?) and hope that it doesn't have all its USB ports removed or broken keyboard.
I really enjoy mine. In the beginning, I really loved the keyboard, but recently it caused me trouble; shift key hangs sometimes, my m key feels like it is stuck and my space bar works only on the left half. Maybe I’d hand it in for repair. It’s a bit annoying but I can handle it.
What frustrates me, though, is that I cannot connect a second screen without rebooting. Hopefully a High Sierra and not a hardware issue.
With what mitigation config? IBRS? IBPB?
Yes... but even accounting for that.. the return for trump is roughly 8% annually since '82.

Oprah posted some great growth numbers early in her career with her TV show.. but if you start from when she reached $1B in 2004 to today, she has a return of 7.63% annually.

If I had to pick, IMO Oprah is more impressive. But it isn't like we're comparing Bill Gates and the owner of the local dry cleaner. Neither is growing like Facebook or Google. These numbers aren't substantially different. Both have subpar returns. After 2004, Oprah--just like Trump--could have earned more money in an index fund.

If we're really looking for business leaders with good growth numbers, it's probably a better idea to turn off the TV and start looking at the people building companies that are actually growing.

Touch bar has me seriously questioning my next purchase.
> The biggest cost driver, as Jones' sign mentions, is Seattle's highest-in-the-nation minimum wage. It went from $9.47 to $11 per hour in 2015, then to $13 per hour in 2016, with a further increase to $15 per hour planned.

Good thing businesses just got a big tax cut which will help offset those wage increases. Some companies even voluntarily raised their minimum hourly wage to $15 as a result of it.
If I were I'd make an ad out of it.
I have to agree - same gripes for me. This MacBook is my 8th Apple laptop going back to sometime in the late 90s (my first was a pre-PowerPC PowerBook), and it's the first one where I really and truly have regretted the purchase. I've usually had a second laptop during that time (ThinkPad usually, Surface lately), and I've rarely had more nice things to say about the non-Apple machine until now.

Also, the main selling point of Macs for me since 2001 when I made the big switch to an Apple-dominant hardware ecosystem was having a Unix-based system that had a reasonable desktop environment. Lately, the Windows Subsystem for Linux has been making me question if MacOS and the corresponding hardware is worth the headache.

Pulseaudio? I think that shouldn't be a big issue imo, but you seem to agree here.

"Ruined the UI" is a tough one. For me the UI is completely fine and what isn't can be fixed in userChrome.css with little investment. What's broken or ruined?

Still unclear about Unity, are you talking about this [2]? It seems to say that this is unsupported/deprecated by the company itself [3]?

Hopefully you'll be able to migrate to a current version in the future. The 'start 52 in a sandbox' scenario doesn't sound fun at all.

You don't need territory (at least at a price that steep) and you certainly don't need slave labor in 2018.
The points brought up are mostly valid complaints. Although Apple would never increase the device thickness to give the user more battery life.

I’m holding off on buying a MBP as the current keyboard has terrible travel distance and seems to be unusually susceptible to breaking from dust. If Apple had an updated MBP with a durable keyboard (maybe in a few years? hopefully), I’d buy it right away.
Apple clearly aimed the new macbook pros at creative professionals (and wannabe end-consumers), hence the touchbar and the enormous trackpad. They got rid of the glowing logo to make the screen thinner.

Anyways, Apple could afford to offer the dopest machine for software developers, without all the shenanigans, but with all the usability and performance.
Not so much concrete plans around smart contracts (that I know of); I would characterize stellar as having aspirations and some early stage work and research with the intentions of enabling smart contracts on top of stellar. For example, we've done some work on "simple contracts" as described here: https://www.stellar.org/blog/multisig-and-simple-contracts-s....

Rant Incoming:

I don't think building a turing-complete VM into stellar anytime soon is prudent. The work the ethereum folks have done is crazy impressive, and certainly it is beyond anything I myself could create, but IMO they are also too cavalier. I don't think we (programmers in general) have the collective smarts, wisdom, discipline, and ethical codes needed to build a safe "world computer" yet, and I don't think we've got a good grasp of the potential ramifications of an unsafe solution. I imagine there are many unknown unknowns to encounter as the world stumbles in the dark, greedily, from where we are today in the direction of skynet.

All that said, I'd really like to see a world with more decentralizing forces and where decentralized applications can more feasibly compete with centralized services. I think stellar can help make this happen one day. I'm sick of being forced to trust the googles and facebooks of the world with my personal data while not having viable alternatives, and I think one way to work towards breaking their outsized influence on humanity's digital culture is to enable and make accessible more decentralized interactions of increasing richness. Instead of building one turing-complete decentralized protocol to rule them all, I'd love to see us continue to develop a constellation of focused decentralized systems that we can consider/develop/verify/maintain in isolation first. Then, as our comfort with each system grows, we can work to carefully combine and layer them in increasingly useful ways. There's such a long way to go.

On a related note, IMO we too often think that what we're doing on a day to day basis is just computer science and don't often enough consider the social science-y aspects of our work. From how we structure our APIs to how we communicate with users about the responsibilities involved with participating in decentralized systems, we have tons of soft problems to overcome that can't easily be fed into a compiler or reasoned about formally to determine the quality of our solutions. For evidence, look at what occurred recently with the parity wallet/solidity or -- an example that hits closer to home for me -- the snafus around the account recovery system in stellar's original web client.

---

Please take the above with a grain of salt. I realize that the above isn't supported with citations and in the end I'm just some random fuckhead coder. I'm sure plenty of people here can point to why my thoughts on the subject are wrong and why ethereum is taking the correct approach to smart contracts; I don't pretend to be able to hang with the big brains of the cryptocurrency space.

All of the above is also not representative of stellar's official positions... these opinions are 100% my own.

If you have Intel wireless or display drivers installed then it is perfectly normal for a computer to randomly reboot.
While I agree on most of the topics. Especially on the touchbar(useless crap). But “make the display a 16” 4K HDR OLED” - why would you need a 4K in a 16”? It will just eat batter life
Continuing the pedantry, DirNSA is currently an admiral (Rogers, specifically).
We’ve got a few a part of the upgrade cycle, but so far the keyboard issues alone have forced a revert to the old rMBPs. Keys just stopped working in the middle of a production bug, during the holiday season. The new switches make a pretty presentation, but Apple really needs to understand that as developers our jobs literally depend on them working well.
These arguments are made for cell phones all the time too. The consensus is that it's impossible to please everyone.

At least for phones, and this might be similar to laptops, we made decisions on everything based on intensive research, usability testing, and profitability. Companies can't simply cater to specific demographics and hope for the best. For example, the keyboard quality on the MBP could be a valid concern for some, but it's possible that it was a justifiable solution for them based on cost-reduction. (a worthy-risk, in their opinion. not mine, IMHO). It could be that the keyboard is perfectly fine for most people.

Finding a delicate balance between every factor is a tough challenge, and I know for a fact that following every advice on the internet is not a solution.

I'm in the same boat with a broken keyboard. Was like that new. Got it repaired (which involved flying to a different country). Better, but still happens.

Very frustrated. I was going to get the new XPS 13, but:

- Isn't available in my country (online store doesn't ship in my country anyways)

- Doesn't seem available in Singapore or Malaysia

- Only 8GB option in Taiwan

- 16GB option only available with UHD and 1TB SSD in HK (neither of which I want, nor want to pay for)

All these country-specific sites are awful to use and navigate and digest. If they can't get this right, I'm thinking the many complaints about the hardware aren't exaggerated.

So...ya. Still dreaming that Google's Pixelbook will officially support Linux at some point.
I think it sort of depends on the person but I mostly agree. There is massive power in someone who truly believes "anything is possible" and takes massive action on extremely high goals they set for themselves and achieve. The Napoleon-Hill-Approved humans who let nothing get in the way of their self-designed "definite life purpose". Better examples of celebs-turned-political are Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who put the effort into learning the material and acknowledging the crowd.

Although Trump and Oprah are undoubtedly the kinds of action-takers who make their extremely high goals a reality, in my opinion they both lack one or two other vital presidential qualities that come with their personality types. Trump lacks the humility to admit what he doesn't know and learn it— instead he lashes out on Twitter, taking every unimportant comment personally; he is always thinking about competition and personal problems rather than considering all-inclusive encouragement. Oprah has the opposite problem; I can't judge her until she's given a chance, but I imagine her relying too much on people-pleasing, and would perhaps struggle to deal with constant decisions millions of people will dislike her for no matter what she chooses (unless she can afford a few hundred million "free cars" to give away to her new audience).
Whatever, it’s a commercial name (might have even been the autocorrect.) I recommended — nicely, no offense intended — the correct grammatical form.

Do you think the user research said to design a keyboard that has buttons that randomly doublepress?

It's not just the author, everyone in my team with the new MacBook have the same issue with some buttons.
This is a decision that has to be made locally (not state-wide) by députés and it has been taken at various points in time in some areas. Basically when in effect it says that if wolves are threatening livestock, non-hunters are allowed to perform kills. At various point in times there also have been allowance to use wartime-class sniping weapons to hunt at night. Allowed kill ratios have been known to reach 0.75 of the actual wolf population in some areas too. Paranoia is through the roof in France, while you cross the nearby border and Italy seems able to cope with 10 times the wolf population just fine.
The next model won’t change the port layout or the keyboard. Apple just doesn’t work like that. A redesign of the MBP isn’t due for years, and no amount of negative feedback will change that. (Look at the Mac Pro for a concrete example of this.)
Or Firefox Klar, the German version (UI is still localized, I think the difference is that even telemetry is disabled?)
