CEO of SCRUFF here, and daily reader of HN. We have not, do not, and would not share this information with third parties.

The data that we share with our third-party ad providers is:

- Your location (so you can get those local car dealer ads)

- Your gender

- Your age

- The targeting keyword "gay"

We currently use AdMob and MoPub to provide our network advertising.

More broadly, this kind of information is never something we would share. We know the sensitivity of HIV status, and know that it has been used to discriminate against our community in the past. When we do take money from direct advertisers (full-screen ads shown at launch), we make sure that they are promoting relevant and beneficial products for our community, and the ads they place are serviced 100% in-app and come with no extra data nor api calls.

Ultimately, our business model is based on subscriptions, which means we are successful when we make software that people love to use. We don't spend our days trying to squeeze a marginal penny out of some remainder-bin ad unit by trading personal data of our users. Instead, we spend our time focused on how to make an excellent product, that works reliably, is free of spambots and harassment, and connects gay guys with each other and the global gay community.
Well, except it's not that simple at all. Even if they immediately discontinue all previous models and only introduce new architecture models in one go, you still have several years worth of computers sitting on x86/x64. They won't be able to get rid of it in the OS until at least the mid-2020s.

As an example with the PPC->x86 move, they released Rosetta in 2005, stopped pre-installing it in 2009, and only in 2011 did then completely remove the ability to install it. I foresee a similar experience here.
I use both Adobe and Autodesk, and neither yet support eGPU well. Essentially, if they wrote their own graphics engines (both adobe and autodesk did) then eGPU doesn't work that well. Lightroom has started to come over, and some features of Fusion360 seem to work OK, too, but for the most part the only eGPU accelerated parts of the apps seem to be the user interfaces.

Given Apple's recent obsession with AR/VR, I wouldn't be surprised if the new apple architecture was really GPU first, CPU second. Apple has always loved graphics, and in all likelihood they recognize that a more parallel OS model might actually suit people's day to day needs better.

This is too witch hunty, facebook didn't outwardly do anything to encourage this. By the same logic we can also blame the internet as a whole. There were similar messages on twitter and chat apps. Facebook is big, so it gets the attention, but it doesn't mean it had outsized influence per capita. We need to be careful putting full blame on the platforms that enable communication.

FTA: The Pro units will remain on Intel until Apple's chips could compete for this reason.
Seeing a lot of assumptions and speculations on this thread (which makes sense given how early and high level the sourcing is).

I wonder if anyone has seen side by side roadmaps of Apple and Intel's roadmaps, or projections of those roadmaps? I doubt Apple is moving away from Intel for pricing reasons, given the margins they work with. It seems more likely (or at least as likely) there are broader technical reasons. Feels like an apples-to-apples (no pun intended) comparison would be helpful.
Ah, didn't realize this. I used to work at a coffee roaster and at the time was told the caffeine removed from decaf beans via the swiss water method was then sold to soda companies.

> It literally takes ten minutes and Github is required by law to act immediately and ask questions later.

Technically, no. They get the benefit of the DMCA Safe Harbor if they do so, but it is not a legal requirement. If they would be liable for infringement without the safe harbor, staying in it eliminates that liability, but that only matters if GitHub would have been liable (which isn't necessarily the case if the other user would have been.)

The DMCA safe harbor rules aren't mandates, which is why the counternotice side has less compliance (because hosts would rarely be liable to their own users for a erroneous take-down, so the safe harbor on that side doesn't protect them from anything.)
Intel is dragging 40 years of legacy along. I’m not so sure a new processor can’t be faster and less wasteful of battery power.
But:

1) the ACM lets each author link to their papers on the ACM library with free access.

https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/acm-author-izer-ser...

2) in practice you could always find pre-print copies of any CS paper on their author's website already and everyone knew and nobody ever cared

3) the ACM also let you negotiate an agreement so that you retain copyright for the paper so you can publish it yourself - my company does this
And then maybe your competitor gets an announcement on every plane reminding people not to buy their product :-)
> I wouldn’t be surprised to even see them make their own display screens.

I think they're already working on that: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-19/apple-is-...
"Non-governmental organization", kind of an odd term to apply to an organization defined by the government and funded through taxes.
If you are only familiar with Sun sign astrology, you would probably be surprised at how mathematical and complicated astrology actually is. Though canned astrology often disappoints me, it at least doesn't tell you that you are going to have the same events as millions of others born within the same 30 day period.
I'd rather compare it to doing hard drugs. Everybody knows a lot of high-profile people do it and rarely get prosecuted, though theoretically it's a felony.
Even considering insurance/benefits, stock options, and various bonuses, 400K/year is a lot more compared to 150K.
With Apple's documented interest in owner's control of their devices and delivering the required documentation for it, they won't tell us what is included in the chips and what's not.
All this tasty data:

Request domain name, e.g. www.google.com

Request type, e.g. A (which stands for IPv4 record), AAAA (IPv6 record), NS, MX, TXT, etc.

Transport protocol on which the request arrived, i.e. TCP, UDP, or HTTPS

Client's AS (autonomous system or ISP), e.g. AS15169
User's geolocation information: i.e. geocode, region ID, city ID, and metro code

Response code sent, e.g. SUCCESS, SERVFAIL, NXDOMAIN, etc.

Whether the request hit our frontend cache

Whether the request hit a cache elsewhere in the system (but not in the frontend)

Absolute arrival time in seconds

Total time taken to process the request end-to-end, in seconds

Name of the Google machine that processed this request, e.g. machine101

Google target IP to which this request was addressed, e.g. one of our anycast IP addresses (no relation to the user's IP)
Macs have at least two major uses that might present technical problems: native MS office apps, and VMs for developers.
The biggest turnoff about classical music is how so-called connoisseurs will dissect and analyse a piece of music ad nauseum, in order to provide legitimacy and authority to their aesthetic judgement of a piece of music.

You like the music? Fine. You don't? That's also fine. But personally, reading stuff like "the final resolution of the cadence sounds like nothing less than a great Amen" reminds me why I don't go to classical music concert anymore.
Both Windows and Linux have ARM builds available. The emulation for legacy x86 Windows apps can happen inside the virtual machine.
The processors wouldn't necessarily be less powerful. Case in point is the A11 outpacing the CoreM processors.

The greater threat is the ios-ofcation of macOS. We've seen many companies pull their apps from the Mac App store due to the limitations of the sandbox.
They could also run more than one per machine
OSS software can "just" be recompiled though.
According to the article, those would still be using Intel chips.
Maybe I shouldn't be surprised but I do find it so amazing how contradictory it is that these attacks are being carried out by proclaimed Buddhists. That is serious cognitive dissonance.
That's not "likely" at all. Apple's CPUs are already faster in single-core benchmarks than the Intel competition, even though the Apple processors in question are designed for mobile devices and have much less power to work with.

Apple would not be making this switch if they didn't think they could improve performance.

Newspapers pay Reuters for access to their stories because Reuters has pretty good writing on offer for less than it would cost the paper to do the work itself. They can choose what stories they want to put their name on, and they are even free to modify a story from Reuters if they want to. Reuters doesn't tell the newspapers want to print. It's not even a little bit similar to what people are talking about here.
I was with Admiral here in UK last year, then literally got a quote that was 100% higher for renewal, with no claims and no changes to the car or my coverage - Aviva gave me a lower price than the original one with Admiral was, and when I called them to ask if they will price match there was literally nothing they could do to match it. Insane.
I think you misunderstood what I meant by "x" - (x - publication).

legostormtroopr says:

-> I'd believe anything that Salon had to say on the matter of identity politics, if their editorial stance couldn't be clearly summed up as "white men are bad"

Because a magazine is not an individual, and is instead comprised of individuals, it is possible to honestly engage with an idea published by an individual in said publication even if you have qualms with that publication's ideology. So it is not fair for legostormtroopr here to dismiss the article because of Salon's editorial stance.
> if a sociologist wanted to study the social impact of transit infrastructure, that would be perfectly reasonable, and we wouldn't expect them to know much going in about signaling systems, switches, or different types of rolling stock.

Yes -- and a good sociologist would also learn a lot about that stuff once they started their research, I'd imagine :). Not enough to be a railway engineer, but presumably enough to be able to speak meaningfully & intelligently to railway engineers. Not unlike science journalists.
Parallels and VMWare will just abandon their primary market?

No they won't.
I remember everything audio was a mess although I'd imagine a lot of it had to do with smaller developers lacking resources to port existing software.
A single grep and cut would be simpler. You've proved my point :)
I was thinking the same thing, but Apple doesn't care. Folks like us do not represent the majority of the market.
Maybe it is region dependent? I have some younger relatives and high school/middle school and they make it seem like almost every at their school is vaping (mostly the new juul things)

The vast majority of hours spent has nothing to do with any editorial functions. All reviewers volunteer their time to review submitted papers, so that's not a cost. Typesetting to a publishable state is not even included in some cases (see a3_nm's comment). What else is left? Filtering through already reviewed papers to list out already typeset documents? Why are researchers paying $2k+ for that?

Is this a handle you use all over? A lot of times people will say "contact me at handle at gmail" or some such thing. I'm curious to know whether HN handles are used all over, or are special use for HN.
I've cut down, and only give Facebook a cursory check once a week. It's very nice to not constantly have it on my mind, and I don't seem to be missing much.
I am not a lawyer, and I would bet that none of the answers you get here would be on par with a consultation with a legal professional.

I would have a conversation with yourself about what you want the end result of this to look like. What's the best outcome here for you? What's the worst? What about for your parents? And I'm not just talking about the cash: is it worth it to press this if it means losing your family?
Actually I would be more than happy. I am ready to make the move to a service where users are more in control, but its going to take a massive kick up the arse to get my friends to move. They whined about having to use Telegram rather than Whatsapp when I had an Ubuntu phone.
While single core performance may not be higher, I could see Apple adding more cores than their current Intel offerings have, and still fall within an acceptable power envelope (thermal, battery life, etc).
You can own something, accept payment for it, and never actually relinquish ownership. Besides, the blockchain is only proof of ownership of things on the chain. Real world things are not covered at all.
I see no reason to suspect that changing CPUs would be related in any way to "crippling" macOS. Those are two separate issues.

Your proposal has the exact opposite problem - the AI experts are incentivized to not make two much waves regarding the dangers, because that would endanger the field (and money invested in it).

I think a big problem is that the modern communication platforms provide the power to assemble public anytime anonymously, and as a society we are yet to realise that. In a real world gathering, you have media and government obseevers, and anybody making incorrect statements is most of the time scrutinized and exposed.

However, now that anyone can publish information fast and to a large number of people, false facts will circulate fast on any communication platform.

Here in India in my village, people forward each other long false statements and rumours, and people believe it blindly and propaagte to their contacts. As a society, I don't think we know how to handle this.
What is being omitted in this case that invalidates the story?
Frankly, I am not 100% sure it isn't, I am just reasonably sure. I think to do that is beyond the capability of the type of attacker I am worried about. Google/Amazon/Facebook/name your favorite commercial spying company won't exploit it, as they have their apps to do that sort of stuff. I don't think anyone else with that capability (i.e. name your favorite "spooky" government agency) is coming after me. Hence, reasonably sure.
This is clearly a really emotional thing for you, so while I understand, I urge you to be as rational as possible about this.

Let's talk about value. There are three types of value, in my mind: wisdom value, cash value, and potential value.

The cash value of this experience is your salary. You don't seem happy with it.

The wisdom value of this experience is hopefully clear: Take ownership, have things written down on paper, and don't do work for free. Also, another nugget of wisdom: Many people here on HN have been screwed in situations where they thought they were getting equity and they weren't - the difference is you lost it to family. This is actually not that bad. I'll explain later. The main point is to not make the mistake of doing free work for no equity again.

The potential value is pretty much zero. You're not going to get much more from this company, at least compared to the opportunity cost of working for a different startup that values you or starting your own. You've fooled yourself that there is potential because "you started it" and "you deserve it." but there isn't and you're screwed. Accept it.

From the little information I have, I think your next best action is clear: move on, do something new. Start a new company, you clearly have the chops and the experience. You have a distinct advantage over most people starting companies because your family is also made up of business people. (I know I know - your hear is sinking - but stay focused on being rational.) But this makes you incredibly lucky.

Lets say you move on - work for a new company - start your own - whatever. You live life. In 10 years you're married and you have a baby. Your parents are getting old and the company now has a lot of liquid assets and everyone is super comfortable. Your parents now buy you a house, or set up a trust for your kid to go to college. Very few people have this. You, again, become incredibly lucky. Your brother, too, will get these benefits. What luck! What a wonderful life all the cousins will have.

There is an African folk story about a man who fell from a very tall tree onto a medium size tree, and then from a medium size tree on to the ground. He was all scratched up, but he survived because of the interim tree. An elder looked at him scowling and reminded him, "don't ask god why, when you should tell him thank you!"

You made your family rich. You achieved IT, and I hope one day after the rawness of the emotions fades, you can feel pride about this entire experience. Your parents did not do the right thing - but thats okay, few people do. Maybe one day they will. But it is THEIR choice - the ball is in their court. These choices are difficult. Thankfully, it's not your choice! Forgive, learn, move on, and be thankful!
What's your citation or evidence to Apple moving to a "services" business-model? They are hardware focused, so that's not a correct statement.
Indeed, we have every indication that Apple can already do both of these things. Go look at Geekbench 4 single-core scores for the current iPhone and iPad vs. the current MacBook Pro. Apple is already beating Intel on speed in a design that uses MUCH less power.
It could be that they are just trying to improve their negotiating position. Even if that's true, I'd wager that it is just the short-term contingency of an investment with a long-term view. I bet they have their eye on the end-game.

When I say that, I'm thinking of the old TED Talk by Amory Lovins called "Winning the Oil Endgame". I feel like there's some parallel one could draw between peak oil and process improvements. Intel has slowed down now that it's more difficult to extract increased performance with each iteration. I'm guessing someone at Apple is thinking about where they'd like to be positioned when the well runs dry.
