> The reality is more nuanced; the smartphone created a new market, but it definitely hasn't supplanted the existing "home computer" market, or even really hurt it in any way.

This is demonstrably wrong. The home computer market isn't even a market that exists in many parts of the world. To see that phones can supplant the home computer market almost entirely in Africa and India and say it has no effect here is crazy.

You can already watch it happen. Will people need a computer to do long form typing? Maybe, although for many a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard will suffice.

Will an average family of 4-5 need more than one though? Will many people just get by sharing a laptop one family member got from work, or an old clunker they use just to edit essays for school? Absolutely.

Will smartphones and tablets kill home computers? No, not for a long time. Will they pretty much cap any growth in that market, and turn them into trucks when they were formerly cars? Without a doubt.
And still, the Mac OS app store failed as well.
iOS apps do not run via emulation on macOS; they are compiled for x86_64 and run as a normal process.
I think the difficulty in thinking about Facebook is that it sits in this strange middle ground, between targeted advertising (as it has traditionally been thought of) and direct selling of data.

If you think about it on a spectrum, where traditional advertising lets you do some crude targeting (If I advertise on American's Next Top Model, I'll get a different audience than if I advertise in the Wall Street Journal) that lets audiences opting in and out based on individual choice (I don't have to watch America's Next Top Model, even if I have all the characteristics of an ideal viewer). No data is sold here.

At the other end are people who sell leads - usually for B2B customers (here's the names and contact info for 500 IT Directors). Data is explicitly being sold here.

Facebook sits somewhere in the middle which is why we don't quite know how to talk about it. We can target things like traditional advertising, but we are now also able to get explicit information on our targets, in a way that hasn't really been done before.
>disappointingly small 8GB. In my world, I consider 16GB a bare minimum

My main computer has 8GB RAM. I don't know why I would need more than that. Right now I have firefox with 15 tabs, qt creator and 3 terminals open and I'm only using 2.5 GB of RAM. Unless I suddenly wanted to get into heavy video editing I don't think I'll feel the need to upgrade soon.
And the entire approach is backwards and leads to recidivism, rather than rehabilitation.

I believe it's a T series, though your point still stands. I think I'd personally far prefer a display under the trackpad (though I don't think it's necessary at all) to a TouchBar or a touchscreen laptop. But I think I'm very much in the minority.

Kind of a disvirtuous cycle isnt it? More income inequality means fewer people have more money. If you need to fundraise it would be preferable to raise from fewer than more - lower transaction costs and oversight. These private individuals then capture more and more of the growth becoming further enriched.

At some point though it seems like it would backfire. If wealth is sufficiently concentrated than those individuals could effectively dictate terms, possibly even colluding with others. Then the pendulum swings back the other way, it may be more cost effective to go to public markets as crazy as that sounds.

Or maybe we just need a few huge flame outs to cause private investors to retreat.

It's not just local stations, though. Read about how the NY Times encourage the Spanish American War, and how they abetted crimes in Puerto Rico over the Rum trade. It's eye-popping how long the corruption has been with us.

Cigarette companies devote significant resources to building the positive feedback loop to increase the addictiveness of their products (the experience of unwrapping the cellophane packaging is a classic example). Vapes are a much more straightforward delivery method that lack these enhancements.

Of course there's some parallels there for the software world, like the endless A/B testing social-media sites do to maximize the amount of time people spend glued to their product.
> No.

Yes. In my social circle a whole bunch of us switched from smoking a pack+/day to vaping, about 10 years ago.

The whole market is down today because of the TTT (Trump, tweets, and tariffs).
It is not unheard of for licenses to have terms which require renegotiation in the event of acquisition. That might make such an acquisition a mortal threat to x86_64, but not a seamless path to using it.
Welp glad to know I was trying to dig www.pornhub.com on my work network.
Have you seen / used [Waffle](http://waffle.io) before? It's pretty much exactly this. It's free for open source projects and has a monthly fee for private ones. It's what I've used for a while, and my team at work uses it. It's pretty mature and has lots of features like creating your own columns, multiple repositories in a single board, integrations for tests/builds, PRs, and so forth.
And pushing for affiliate revenue, then changing your review, then lying that the new top pick does not have any affiliate revenue either is even worse.

(They claimed their new top pick also didn't have an affiliate relationship. But the way back machine archive showed that they were in fact linking to the new desk via an Amazon affiliate link.)
You should have sat down at one of their tables and plugged it in. :)
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not :-)

That said, CPUs have gotten so cost effective that it makes possible something which has come in and out of favor for a while, which is a network of devices that do one thing co-operating as a larger system.

So lets say you buy your "iDisk" which is a storage brick that you can put on a short range wireless network. A couple of iPad monitors, a wireless Apple keyboard, and a wireless Apple mouse. You set up this box of stuff and arrange it around on your desk and it is essentially a "single" computer system perceptually which, running a development "app" could work fine for development.
It's because of plate deformation not because of gas. They are all vented.

This is such an obvious move, that I predicted it 2 years ago:
https://medium.com/@Jernfrost/in-3-years-apple-will-switch-f...

My prediction in 2016, was that Apple would switch to ARM based laptops in 2019, so it looks like I am off by just 1 year.

A quick summary of my argument back then was that ARM was getting fast ENOUGH, but are considerably cheaper. Standardizing on one CPU architecture for all their products makes sense. In addition it allows them to differentiate themselves from competitors.

The only choice I am still uncertain about is the Mac Pro lineup. Since performance will matter a lot more in this segment it is harder to see a transition away from intel. A possible solution would be for apple to go massively parallel and simply use a lot of ARM CPU cores. Sure single thread performance wont be able to compete with intel but they might not need to.

A lot of the stuff you need a Mac Pro for like compiling large programs fast, video processing etc is likely very paralelizable.
So one or two ISPs in one country out of 300+ worldwide.

Hardly “most” ISPs as claimed in the post I replied to. Not even a fraction.
How much has Intel knuckled under to the intelligence community which wants to bug 100% of our electronics?
Yes and No

the problem with Cloudflare is not simply the fact that DNS is centralized, it is a combination of all their services that is concerning for Cloudflare,

between the DDOS Proxy, the CDN, the Other Services, and now DNS that is a lot of services in a single basket, so while it is true that dns is some what centralized, having all traffic and all services dependent upon a single company seems to be a bad idea to me

But clearly everyone sees not issue with it provided they "claim" to providing a "privacy first" service for free (ya riiiiiggghhhhttttt and Facebook cares about their users privacy as well) and they have better performance, who cares what the long term effects are...

We should be working to make DNS less centralized, or replace it with something less centralized, not moving to DNS over HTTP to a few "cloud" providers who also control all of the content...
> Will you really need incentivization to get people to interact with the topic they have devoted their life towards studying?

Perhaps not. But people keep telling me in this thread that reviewers work because the journals expect them to or they will get future papers rejected/lose conference access, not for the love of the topic or because they get paid or otherwise any kind of special visibility for it. I wonder whether an approach that promised only publicity for having done reviews or relying on altruism would really produce the quality of reviews necessary.

> I suppose one approach would be at a legislative level where you require all researchers publish on a decentralized open access platform where every citizen - they are the one's funding the research after all - can freely and uninhibitedly access the information.

That's not really incentivizing the _reviewers_, though, right?
Your litmus test for art relies on a definition from... Rush Limbaugh..? Powerful art is primarily experiential; perceived effort is irrelevant if the work moves you. I suspect Rush ignores an infinity of small, everyday beauties if his definition of art is so limited. Or perhaps he has a vested interest in maintaining the value of his collection. ;)

Beauty is absolutely subjective and does not conform to Western or Eastern standards. Melody, harmony, rhythm, and dissonance - or lack thereof - can all be manipulated to great effect outside of their established roles. Silence can be beautiful. Passive listening can be beautiful. Could one then suggest that these elements be used as the basis for an expanded definition and appreciation of music? As a fellow ardent listener I implore you to explore beyond the confines of the dominant modes of musical expression - there is a vast, wondrous world of sound and experience that awaits.
Surprised by the comments on performance. Putting a second cpu/SoC on the board and keeping it in a low power sleep mode, then spinning it up as needed would be trivial for Apple.
Canonical | Software Engineer | Full Time | REMOTE

Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu Linux. We are a globally distributed team passionate about open source.

Canonical is hiring for roles across engineering and elsewhere: https://grnh.se/8kfpq1yt1. Our typical tech stack includes python and golang, and products are generally open source, and openly developed.

Here's some of the open roles:

- Software Engineer, Juju: https://grnh.se/r22x7qu01
Looking for go developer who has networking experience to join our juju engineering team. Juju is a modeling and software orchestration tool that is capable of deploying to clouds, containers or bare metal.

- Software Engineer, JAAS: https://grnh.se/svkwm76u1
Looking for go developer who wants to work on SAS offering for modeling software. Challenges include distributed computing, distributed trust models, and availability across public clouds.
It will obviously be an ARM transition not x86: https://medium.com/@Jernfrost/in-3-years-apple-will-switch-f...
So let's assume this is technically possible, and only examine the process under the lens of detectability. Assuming the codec is 8kbps, you'd see roughly 3MB upload for every hour of audio, and I would say it's not out of the question for the noise gate to be active from the television being on in the same room, or music playing. For an utterance, seeing a 3MB upstream would be super abnormal. It would be impossible to transmit all of this data for processing without somebody noticing.
Reviewers get their names on the paper too. Which means if the paper was bad, well, they can be held responsible for it too.
> I can throw paint on a canvas.

But you did not throw the paint in a context that turned it into a statement. In fact, you did not at all. That's the point.

There was some artwork created before I was born: An artist made a statement on commercialization of art. "You could sell shit in cans." So he defecated into cans. About ten years ago the can/one of the cans was auctioned off for some 5-digit amount. That's when I learned about the whole story. Yes, for me that is art - even though I can shit into cans as well.
How come its distance from the Earth is reducing?
Again, it's probably _not_ Virgin's fault or responsibility. Capacity planning is handled by Google directly.

Also, I think that virtually every ISP with more than a few tens of thousands users is hosting a GGC instance nowadays (and a Netflix OpenCache, etc. etc.).

Nowadays, the vast majority of the transit&peering of ISPs is not going to the Internet, but to a few racks of local caching servers managed by OTT operators.

Bandwidth-wise, at least in prime time, the Internet is much less connected/realtime than people think :)
I used to read Vanity Fair. I thought they had great long form articles. But about 14 years ago they put Paris Hilton on the cover and since then I haven't returned to the magazine. It sounds like the New Yorker is a hit here...
So this is a US problem and therefore “most” ISPs worldwide does this?

That’s hardly evidence if any.
I have a 1366x768 laptop with 4 GB of RAM..

It's included in the university fees and there's no way of opting out of it, so I had to take it. Not only do they overcharge us for it, finding a seller is hard for it too, so I decided to wipe it clean and use it as my daily driver.
I'd imagine that for every Elsevier-published paper that you review, that is a non-Elsevier-published paper that you did not get a chance to review.

Would it be possible for you to prioritize review of open-access work? (This is a question, not a criticism!)
From the article, the CEO, who is soliciting the kickbacks, claims that he is also writing review articles.

So that right there proves they are lying about keeping editorial and business separate.

As for top products without an affiliate link, I am yet to find one.
Couldn't Apple easily buy AMD? (not to say they wouldn't have a million reason not too)
As a researcher, in a lot of cases, you want to be published in a reputable journal. Publishers have learned to charge for the reputation over the years. Reputation has a lot of inertia.

The PR model would have to answer the question of how reputation is built. A "star" system would likely be inadequate for a number of reasons. But the major obstacle would be in getting researchers on board with the new model.

Early adopters would have to withstand scoffs from their peers who haven't accepted the new model yet.

Even Open Access, which could be regarded as an incremental improvement, has years, if not decades, of grueling work behind it.

The network effect is very strong within the research community, which results in a situation which is very close to "all or nothing."

I could do that on my Thinkpad.
>Does anyone from either side of the aisle consider a national corporation owning local stations and forcing scripts down their throat a good thing for the marketplace of ideas?

Is this like there being only 1 Facebook, 1 Google, and 1 Twitter, all of which have recently begun to "fact check" the content users put on their services?

I think it's important to have a broad dissemination of information about these kinds of things, but if all that is happening here is a targeted freakout because John Oliver did a story, then no thanks.
I’ve used the odd vape here and there to stop smoking and I 100% agree with you that it’s safer than cigarettes but it’s way to early to say that it’s wholly “safe”. The problem is that if you declare it safe then everyone and their dog will start vaping, (which then amplifies any outlier problems as there are more data sources. Aka teens). The unfortunate thing is we likely won’t see any declarations one way or another for a few years now. The only way to see the true costs associated with vaping is to let time take its course. 15 years from now we will have a better idea of what daily vaping does to the human body and how safe it really is.
What if it turns out not to be based on the ARM architecture?
I’m still very skeptical of the “Mac that can run iOS apps” concept. Tim Cook has been pretty unambiguous in his statements about Mac vs iPad.

https://www.macrumors.com/2015/11/16/tim-cook-no-converged-m...

>We feel strongly that customers are not really looking for a converged Mac and iPad, because what that would wind up doing, or what we’re worried would happen, is that neither experience would be as good as the customer wants. So we want to make the best tablet in the world and the best Mac in the world. And putting those two together would not achieve either. You’d begin to compromise in different ways.
You are right, T-series.

I'd join you in that minority.
Ah I wasn't aware of that distinction, I thought a shockwave was any sudden rise and subsequent fall in pressure. Learn a new thing every day, thank you!
About time. I'm tired of Intel's minimally viable laptop processors (and their security blunders). Apple has the margins and the volume to throw a lot of transistors at a problem, like they do in iOS devices. I want 13" Macbook with more than 2 cores, good GPU, and decent memory bandwidth. Apple can do big/little cores, large caches, wider memory buses (HBM please), inference acceleration, 120hz variable refresh with good battery life, etc. These things have a questionable ROI for Intel but set Apple apart and sell more hardware.
Good point. Removed it from the default tested domains.
I can't take that seriously without them demonstrating an equal amount of work on the software end of the iPad. I am a huge believer in the potential of the iPad -- I was blown away by the original iWork and even more so by Garage Band, they both demonstrated honest attempts at providing differentiation from the desktop computing model. But then they just kind of ... stopped developing the OS and associated apps. We all forgave them for making iPad iOS just a bigger iPhone iOS at first because they were otherwise firing on all cylinders, but then they proceeded to continue ignoring this OS for over 5 years, only now providing what is in my opinion the absolute bare minimum features to make working on the iPad tolerable (multi-tasking, etc.)

It appears that Apple, at least when it comes to the iPad, is increasingly unwilling to deliver new software that isn't explicitly tied to a new piece of hardware (and thus a hardware sale). We got writing APIs in order to sell $99 Apple Pencils, but never an actual vision for what it would really mean to do professional work on the iPad. And at some point, it stops seeming like there's some master plan waiting to be unveiled just around the corner. The iPad has been around for 8 years and the fundamentals of using one have largely remained the same, the same as the original subpar experience we excused since it was obviously a 1.0 product. The iPad has basically gotten thinner, faster, and gotten a pencil (which don't get me wrong, is great). iPad sales reflect this: iOS DEVICES may be doing amazing, but iPad sales have plateaued or declined repeatedly. Apple seems eternally confused by this, as if they think the product is done. They begrudgingly offer a "new" iPad with older parts and slightly cheaper price as if people just don't get what they're missing.

But what's missing is a message, a message other than "this is obviously the next iteration of the computer, why aren't you buying them even though we hardly update the Mac either?". The message and vision would inspire Apple to lead by example in the software they produce for it.
Apple is rumored to allow iOS 12 apps to run on x86 macOS, with support for both touch and mouse interfaces.

I am not comparing the aims or the essence of the service. I am expression the opinion that social networks can be a paid-for service just like email, music or video can.
The number of users doesn't matter that much as long as the port is actively maintained.

Judging by the activity on the M68K mailing list, the port is alive and kicking:

I doubt that. Like it or not, military conflicts (and military confrontations such as the Cold War) have produced many of the technological advances that we enjoy today.

> the dangers of LiPo batteries

I think it's Li-Ion batteries in laptops, not LiPo.

LiPos have a tendency to degas/explode unexpectedly even when the charger is good.

Multicopter/drones use LiPo batteries and there are multiple horror stories of pilots having their house destroyed. We have now learned to store them in special fireproof bags/containers even when not charging, never charge them unattended, always have a fire extinguisher near the charging station, etc.

BTW I see a phantom hanging on the wall... Maybe he tried to charge the laptop battery with the LiPo charger?
