"A type of freedom that would not be possible in Europe even with that kind of money."

What sort of freedom do you mean?
Hehe, yeah. At least I'm not getting FTTN..

I'm very, very strongly of the belief that providing fibre internet everywhere and to everyone would be a great benefit to our country, especially long term.

Labor came up with a solution, and of course the opposition can't let us have good things so they sought to destroy it when taking power.

Sure most might be just Netflix, but then with all that capacity you also get all those who can work remotely with no restrictions, kids/adult education, remote health, the list just goes on and on. Fibre is the infrastructure needed for a digital future.

Instead for political piss fighting reasons we're getting a much watered down solution at not that much reduced price. I know heaps of people in NBN, and follow the news: There's been so much waste in generating new specs, acquiring HFC that's now not being used, buying copper network and what not. F* politics.

The guys have been doing the curb pits in our area (mainly houses/town houses) for weeks now, coming back quite a few times to the same ones and instead of making the pits I can't help but wonder what the time difference would be to go into each premise.

I'm convinced that in a decade or two, all the FTTN plans will be upgraded to FTTC or FTTP anyway. Which will blow costs out way past the original.
There’s a Mac Pro in the pipeline.

Whether or not it will be modular is anyone’s guess. Meanwhile by the time it is released (if it is released), it will have been almost 4 years since the previous update, and almost 6 years since the last MacPro actually wanted by professionals.
I can definitely see this being true. Likely why things like psychedelics can help but only for a few months. Also would explain why CBT works as well as it does. I actually wrote something on the looping nature of my own depression that was in the form of a loop.
Let me get this straight. You’re saying that we should organize our societies along the lines of the lobsters?
Its one thing when you are using Adobe After Effects but if you are developing anything, having a stable environment is crucial.
As a Swiss person, I would say that I don't care either way. As least as long as they are dealing with this crap they have less budget for computer surveillance.
for case to be “antitrust” does not requires to be monopoly as such. it can be a company which is dominant in its market by big margin. Microsoft got involved in multiple antitrust cases, even if there are alternatives (mac, linux), but MS has captured majority of market. So I believe Amazon captured majority of online shop market too, so it can abuse situation in their favor.

Excellent comment. I have been struggling with some form of pseudo-depression (never got diagnosed) due to some odd mixture of social anxiety, too much narcissism, lack of motivation, poor biochemistry (probably porn addiction and too much "releasing"), malfunctioning relationships with parents/friends/coworkers. Its hard to actually wake up on any particular day and feel that "things are fine", so all my mind's resources are spent justifying how I might or might not be fine, reading too much internets about alleviating problems for which I might not even have, etc.

There was also an excellent thread and discussion a while back suggesting depression is more of an evolutionary mechanism: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16216647.

I also wonder how much of depression is attributed by improper biochemistry in the brain, low serotonin etc. even though your environment/situation is actually fine.
It is possible that it was poorly made. Light roasts are fully capable to meet or exceed the body or "strength" of a dark roast. That being said it was probably the coffee not having the most optimal growing conditions leading to an empty tasting cup.
Even if the MAUs are half of what they claim (they claim over 2 billion monthly active) they still have a moat the size of a freakin ocean. I think it’s safe to say they have users “in the billions”.

I've had this feeling, but not sure if it's justified. Could be also the result of more users writing comments.

Since the down-voting is the tool we have been given, I have tried to be more active in using it to mark comments that take discussion to wrong direction.

Some UI innovations might help here as well. Sometimes when inside thread, you see it's heading to useless direction. Would be nice to be able to collapse the thread without scrolling back up.
Nothing, apparently. I wonder though if it would be large enough to be picked up by the radar used at most airports to track planes on the ground.
Of course it is not and I take umbrage at the offensive undertone of your comment ("parroting"? Really?). Psychology is not climate science, it's currently going through a widely publicised reproducibility crisis and in any case, the reliance on p-values has been criticised widely by experts in fields as varied as economics, medicine and of course the humanities. The big-5 model itself has been the subject of much criticism, from inside the field (and the wikipedia article you reference has a big section devoted to that criticism).

So you're admitting that James Damore is referencing legitimate scientific sources. It's just that you're claiming the whole field isn't valid. Then you go on to make unsubstantiated claims that his interpretations are wrong, but you produce no specifics. That sounds a lot like what climate science deniers do.
If we could genetically engineer animals to be intelligent enough to have conscious desires, and also have an overwhelming desire to be killed and eaten, would it still be morally wrong to eat them? (This dilemma assumes that you share my belief that the demand for meat products causes a net increase in suffering.)
That’s the point though-they don’t need you to scroll to make money off you. You only need a registered account, and they can track a massive amount about what you do online and then serve you ads across millions of sites and mobile apps. All of this happens off of Facebook owned properties.
They've explicitly called it modular.

In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro architected for pro customers who need the highest-end, high-throughput system in a modular design, as well as a new high-end pro display.

This show got me engaged to learn some of his work.
The biggest issue with the games kids are playing is that they are now specifically designed to exploit the young brains reward system, effectively engraining addictive behavior. Getting rid of loot boxes won't change that.

I would say the biggest group at risk are under-stimulated, under-supervised children that may spend 8 hours a day hunched over a smartphone.

It will be interesting to see the long term implications of that behavior.
I've never had any crashes on this machine (2 years) and only reboot when there's a MacOS update to install.
Very interesting, specially the "jpeg-hash" tool, useful for finding quasi-duplicates (different files, but quasi-identical at visual level).
No- crypto has no intrinsic value. Energy used for mining doesn't give it value. It only has perceived value. If the crypto hype dies, it will drop to 0, even if plenty of people are mining still.
Well by avoiding trying to hit one thing, they hit the ground. That's (arguably?) worse than hitting just about anything else other than perhaps another large aircraft or a missle.
You're aware that most web standards originate from proprietary tech that went crazy popular and were then standardized?

Well, if Tolstoy says so, then there is no arguing...
He may well want cryptos to reduce in value. Lots of people working in cryptos are more interested in the potential of the technology for creating social change than in making a fast buck from speculation, and the current high prices and high volatility are in some ways an obstacle to that.

Besides, he may feel some level of responsibility for the huge number of people who have lost money to token scams or who have borrowed money to 'invest' in cryptocurrencies and are currently hurting.
So, cubes have a margin of 6% play, if you need to pass any other cube through a given cube.
I “lost” a lot of space due to time machine local backups. It was frustrating to research and I thought there was something seriously wrong with my computer. Try deleting the local backups and see if you get some space back
Gun control runs afoul of both the second and fourth amendments. Privacy concerns, depending on how its violate runs mostly amok of the fourth and sometimes the first.

the real issue privacy issues don't rank as high is because both political parties use the surveillance state to spy on Americans to curtail the other party more than protect the people. its a tool to them to intimidate people who get out of line
That’s assuming they weren’t already planning to replace their phone soon.

Personally, I’m four iPhone versions behind, and am probably going to wait one more refresh cycle before getting a new phone. But if my phone broke today, I’d just buy the currently-new model and then not buy the one a year from now. Either way is fine with me.
It's my nature. Robbing me of my nature is like penning a fox indoors all day. Or robbing zoo cats of the freedom to hunt. Might call it inhumane.
Just playing the other side. I love meat but I don't take a stance on the matter.
Amazon and other large companies and even institutions should eventually lose most of their business to distributed applications running on peer-to-peer protocols or light-weight companies built on those types of public protocols taking small cuts.

This includes Amazon, Google, Uber, Waymo, Instacart, the US dollar, banking and government in general.
Is a lobster conscious?
This is a neat idea, I've never thought about doing that. You should write a blog post about it.
I don't think an all-or-nothing knee-jerk approach is helpful here.

1) Should you have the right to do what you please with the data you create on a platform? Should companies be able to deny you this right? What should their obligations be RE: data portability?

2) Is it good for competition and customer choice for interoperability to exist? Conversely, is it bad if it doesn't? Are there any downsides to interoperability as a user?

Starting off with something as limited as an open standard for describing your node of a social graph would already be a huge improvement from where things are today. The question is whether users have the power to demand this, or if they even understand its benefits. At a certain point the incumbents become so rich and powerful that they just acquire or pound into dust any threat from new entrants.
Agreed. As a technically savvy person who knows nothing about hackintoshes the opportunity cost of researching, learning, buying, setting up, and dealing with upgrades far outweighs the potential savings of, what? Maybe 1-2k? In terms of professional work, 1-2k is nothing for peace of mind and ease of use.
How do you determine value? Ethereum has smart contracts and a large volume of real-life transactions. How do you justify “no intrinsic value”?
FWIW, that wrestling match is there because it's one of the greatest examples I know of, that illustrates the importance of not quitting until (the final whistle | the fat lady sings | you die | etc).

In this match, Rohn is down by somewhere around 12 points, and is very close to a "technical fall"[1] loss, and late in the match has shown almost no offense at all. The announcers have already declared Lambrecht the winner and are basically waiting for time to run out. #spoilers follow# With just over a minute remaining Rohn pulls out an improbable takedown and ultimately pins Lambrecht with only a few seconds left on the clock. The crowd goes wild (well, as wild as an amateur wrestling crowd goes).

Along with the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey match between the USA and USSR teams, this is probably the most exciting / inspirational sporting moment I can think of. And as a former wrestler with little interest in hockey, the Lambrecht/Rohn match is the one that really gets me fired up.

Yeah, I'm exactly the target audience and just here to prove one anecdotal piece of evidence -- we use hackintoshes. Not all of us, but we're here.
I rechecked the article, and I could not find any specific values in there. Care to point them out to me?
I could only find some hand-wavy statements about a somewhat improved electrolysis device, but no numbers about its efficiency. Nor what those "hydrides" supposed to be.
wargaming, a Russian company who puts out World of Tanks/Warplanes/Warships seems to skirt the issue but insuring the value of the other items; not the most desired; is equal to the cost of the loot box. This turns the issue into, they decide the value of all items but players may not agree.

I do believe the recent EA dust up is a clearer indication of when loot boxes cross the line into gambling. however if they guaranteed an item of specific value you could buy otherwise "but with other items" they might technically not be gambling. Its gambling when you have a chance to lose your money. (at least how I understand it)
That really is a beautiful comment.
He's been making comments for a while now expressing concern over the direction the community is taking and the kinds of people who are who are becoming involved in the market. This latest comment seems to be in the same vein. I agree with him actually. Crypto is the Wild West of finance right now and, in spite of the legitimate promise shown by some of the tech, is the perfect breeding ground for fraud.
Out of curiosity, how much extra time would you say it would take someone who knows nothing about hackintoshes to buy one and use it as a daily driver? Is is possible to buy one that works out of the box?
Well, at least an active Github account is a sufficient (but non-necessary) proof that you have at least a basic understanding of Git. But still, there are lots of ways to captivate employers: a good old coding blog can beat many a LinkedIn profile.
This actually sounds really great and I would actually go to such a store for certain things.
I don't think that is a very fair summary of that comment, which was considerably more detailed than the one that preceded it.

I don't agree. I love the quality of HN discussions, and frankly it's the entire reason I use the site.

I also hate to see puns and jokes on HN, but I'm glad to report that when I do see them, they are usually downvoted at the bottom of the page.

I'm sure it's happened that a joke made the top comment, but I can't remember ever seeing it in the thousands of comment sections I've read here.
Interesting stuff, although not a fan of the lossy recompressing, there are good open source lossless jpeg compressors like packjpg, lepton, giving ~22% compression, and a yet to be released one from the guy who made webp/brotli.

No one is using it to do anything other than hoard it hoping that the price goes higher than what they bought it at. That means it has no value outside of generating some hope that the price rises, which is very shallow and hardly valuable.
It's open season on everyone in virtually every American workplace. Why won't you acknowledge this?

Oh, but I do acknowledge this. I would like to call attention to it. I thank you for your support.

What's happening here isn't a shift.

In the old days, one could cite such studies. The reactions and the consequences are indeed a shift in society. An outrageously authoritarian shift.

What you're demanding is a new special protection for "people who can defend their position scientifically".

Funny, but the NLRB was once a new special protection. The witch-hunts back then had took a different direction. I would grant that your interpretation of what's been discussed and apparently needed as a special protection. It does seem to me that our current society apparently needs special protection for things that used to be ok and which are still vital to the workings of our democratic society. Things like:

Peacefully donating to political PACs.

Peacefully having a mainstream political opinion. (Like being a Republican or a Libertarian)

Civilly stating an opinion.

Peacefully gathering to express political views.

At-will employment is now being used as a political tool against the category of people who are "Classical Liberals" and everyone to the right of that. It is different yet very similar in many regards to at-will employment being used against labor organizers in decades past.
Wow, almost sounds like the two step commit isn't working properly for APFS.

Agriculture pretty much kills animals too. Pesticides kill animals, removing their habitats to replace them with farmed fields kills animals.

I don't think there currently is a sustainable way to live without killing animals. Humanity is not going to live off pure gathering.
Helicopter pilot here. We take evasive action. In forward flight that's probably going to be a quick stop to give me time to see what the bird's doing and then flying away from the bird. If I were working on hovering maneuvers and a large bird flew near I would set down until it left.
(1) is incorrect. Sparsebundles are capable of over-provisioning the storage below them _by design_. They always have been. They are, I believe, APFS snapshots essentially now. This behavior is consistent with most other filesystems with similar constructs.

(2) is the real issue here.
We clearly eat far more meat than we need and produce/harvest meat in ways that create unnecessary damage and suffering.

However, not everyone is like you. Some people develop deficiencies when they exclude meat from their diet. I have witnessed an ex-vegan health/nutritional professional advise a vegetarian to start eating some meat due to chronic health issues and lab-tested nutritional deficiencies.

It was an hard journey for both of them.

I'm glad it works for you right now while providing a sense of moral superiority, but not everyone is the same.
TBH an I/O system where having a file system inside a loopback device on another file system is faster than using said file system directly in the first place sounds kinda broken-ish/poorly scaling to me.
> But in other parts, documentation is crappy or non-existant (I am looking at you, SharePoint!) to such a degree that sometimes I wonder if they do this on purpose to generate business for the hordes of consultants and authors to write books

Very likely. See: Oracle.
My (limited) understanding of APFS is that it forgoes some integrity checks on the assumption that they have already been done by lower-level hardware. This is of course a debatable design decision, but it may indeed be unwise to use APFS on non-Apple hardware.
This has been mentioned a thousand times over: on Android devices one can usually install LineageOS when the vendor support runs out.

No such option for iPhones.

When the support runs out you will be left hanging.
He's citing "legitimate scientific sources" but he doesn't understand them, so his citations are meaningless.

Where am I claiming that "the whole field isn't valid"? I said there's a reproducibility crisis and that the reliance on p-values has been criticised in various fields.

I made no claim that his interpretations are "wrong". I said that his interpretations are most likely wrong because he's not a psychologist and he doesn't understand the field. That's what you expect from non-experts who pretend to know what they're talking about, to be talking nonsense.

>> That sounds a lot like what climate science deniers do.

You keep insulting me.
If you're going to upgrade every N years/product cycles just to keep up with hardware advancements, then paying for a repair is money spent on a device that will be out of date sooner. Depending on how close/far you are from an anticipated upgrade it might make more sense to reset the clock.

My MacBook Pro is from 2011. If the logic board fails, I'll get a new machine without question even though it serves me fine and the repair would be 1/4 or less than a new model of the same tier. If I had an iPhone X and it needed a $500 repair today, I might pay for that if I had no intention of getting the iPhone X 2 or whatever it gets called. If I really wanted the "X 2", I'd start looking at other options whether that's a cheaper iPhone, a special plan from my cell provider, etc.

What I'm trying to describe is that rather than calculate what's best based on their own habits, consumers will react based on their gut feeling. Apple marketing definitely has an effect on that feeling but so does the desire to remain within Apple's ecosystem and therefore keep giving them money in one way or another.
Reminds me of the Min-browser. It has a similar goal and is also built with Electron. Perhaps there's some useful stuff for you!
