Complexity with undefined or difficult to determine benefits is definitely a case against itself.

If you want to charge a newcomer more because the city had to build a sewer treatment plant to accommodate him, you should at least credit him back the ways in which he also made the city more efficient, such as by taking public transit or reducing school costs. And if you are willing to take on the burden of an extensive economic analysis of the marginal cost and benefit of every new housing unit, by all means go ahead. For most of us, a single property tax rate works fine.

> Both the EU and China started off targeting the US on political grounds

So US tariffs are justified, but retaliation is political? Is that what you're saying?

EDIT:

> What's the legitimate grievance that China could possibly have about US agriculture? They obviously have none, it's all political retaliation.

Here's a mental model for this. You hit them first, they hit you, now you're complaining that they hit you. "It's political!". The rest of the world is watching and thinking "well, you started it".
You didn't mention what positions you're looking for. You should at least highlight the top priority ones.

Fair point. My point is that Grindr's system are likely more vulnerable than Localytics and thus that is where the soft point exists if you are a hacker and are trying to get the data.
It may not be good art, it may not be meaningful art, but it is art. Claiming that it isn't creates more problems than it solves.

And this isn't directed at you - but let me just make this clear. Orchestral performances are art. Shockingly, it seems like a lot of commenters think that music is just about the composition. Performances involve the composer and the performers' interpretations of the work, their technical skills, their styles. These are nontrivial. These add to and elevate a piece.
That’s still deflagration and not detonation. Don’t get me wrong, understand that rapid thermal decomposition of a battery strongly resembles an explosion, but it isn’t one. Scary, dangerous, but only in terms of burns and shrapnel, no shockwave is produced.
> resource intensive process of peer review in the open access journals

I think you may be unfamiliar with how the reviewing process works. I get an e-mail asking me to review an article for a journal. If I say yes, I donate between two and ten unpaid hours of my time producing a review. After I am done with my review, I send it to the AE. The associate editor donates additional hours of his/her time reading my review, plus one or two others, along with potentially the entire manuscript, in order make a decision on the paper. This recommendation gets forwarded to the editor, who makes the final call on publication. With few exceptions (the only ones I'm aware of being the biggies like Nature, Science and Cell) every single person involved in this process is uncompensated. In some cases the editor may receive a small honorarium, but it's trifling compared to amount of time it takes to run a large, prestigious journal.

You're absolutely correct that reviewing is a resource intensive process. But you're wrong if you believe that the publishers are shouldering a significant part of the resource burden. This is exactly why people are so pissed off when these same publishers turn around and charge our own campus libraries a five-figure sum to access the same journals that we work basically for free to produce.
Facebook for the most part doesn't sell your data. They sell advertising. They tell you, "If you want to put a billboard for Prozac in front of depressed people, we'll do that for you." But they won't tell you who's depressed and let you do it yourself.

There have been exceptions, but they are broadly speaking either from years ago, or were mistakes in the first place. Facebook is generally uninterested in giving away your information -- that is, after all, a big chunk of what makes them valuable. If everyone had the same information, they wouldn't be as able to sell ads.

IP/licensing.
So vending HIV status is a straight up HIPAA violation, I'm fairly sure that's been found to be the case over and over again -- it doesn't matter what your business is, health information is covered by HIPAA.

That's 250k per violation fine, and leaking status positive or negative is a violation. And every person, and every time they pass that information to every "partner" is a distinct violation.
> There it not only aligns interests, it gives back more than you put in…

In my experience that's not a popular sentiment. FB has absolutely decimated the organic reach of posts by businesses, creators, and other entities whose customers/fans have followed them. Now you have to pay Facebook to reach those customers/fans who followed you in order to see your posts.

I don't know why you would think apple devices are inherently safer. I've had two macbooks and probably seven or eight Windows laptops. The macbooks suffered from swelling batteries, over heating chargers and frayed power cords. The Windows laptops had none of these issues.
> If you could actually write the proof, then you would not want the dynamic checks, as all they offer is protection against errors that you can prove you have not made.

Even if I write a formal proof, I'm not guaranteed that my program won't index out of bounds. Formals proofs have errors in them all the time. I want dynamic checks to catch me in those cases.

Further to the point, let me reiterate: programmers do not (in almost all cases) write these proofs you are talking about.
Exactly. As long as they're paying the same tax towards public education as everyone else, I don't see a problem. Whether it is enough or being used effectively is up in the air however.
Intel painted itself into a technological corner, where they have to pursue yields with larger die sizes than AMD. Or, looking at it from the other side, AMD won by steering themselves a course where they could avoid the trap of ever larger die sizes.

If Apple can come up with something like Infinity Fabric, then they could steer the same course.
Janky enterprise crap optimized for IE <whatever> is one big example. The other is old Office stuff like Access databases or workflows dependent on conversion of old file formats. (Last year Office 365 ProPlus purged legacy DBase import for a few months)

IE11 support will go away at some point. Many of those apps are now being updated to work on Chrome -- I know of a few large shops that aren't testing IE or Edge anymore for internal apps!

I do agree that they did a heroic effort on making the update process incredibly reliable. Most non-prehistoric applications transition seamlessly.

Note that I personally equate Windows 10 and the subscription "Office 365 ProPlus". The layers of complexity are astounding. I present to you what I call the "Office 365 ProPlus Build Decoder Ring" - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Version-and-build-n...

Windows 10 itself has about 8-10 releases that an enterprise needs to think about. Transition from release to release has gotchas and additional Windows-Office gotchas. (For example, the way Office authenticates changes in certain builds) (See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows-10/release-inf...)
The PPC -> Intel transition also happened, and yes devs had to do work to make it happen, but it doesn't mean it is unheard of or impossible.
Apple was always their own world, their "openess" came from almost closing doors around 1994 and with NeXTSTEP they played the same game as NeXT did, pretending to be open to get UNIX devs into the platform.

Now that they have the upper hand, they are free to go back to their old ways without much considerations about opennesses.

With the PC sales declining and most OEMs following back to the old ways of integrated computers, before of PC components revolution, I guess most regular users will use follow along.

If the macOS/iOS developers still can get their share of the cake, most things will hardly change, although they might loose those that only use macOS as a pretty UNIX.

The question is how relevant are those sales currently.

> "A decision to go with ARM technology in computers might lend it credibility where it has failed to gain a foothold so far."

> "Apple is working on a new software platform, internally dubbed Marzipan, for release as early as this year that would allow users to run iPhone and iPad apps on Macs"

Two things here:

1) I'm OK with breaking the Intel near-monopoly on x86. I'm not OK with moving to a walled garden where Apple forces you to publish apps through their App Store with a paid dev account, etc. just for the privilege of users on their platform. ARM doesn't necessarily mean this, but it is a different CPU arch. When Apple transitioned to Intel/x86 from PowerPC, Intel processors were performant enough compared to PowerPC processors to provide a pleasant emulated PowerPC environment for applications build for PowerPC. I don't think that a switch to ARM would provide this benefit, and afaik Intel's mobile offerings aren't that far off from ARM efficiency. So what's the benefit? Just vertical integration, I guess? Escaping Intel's backdoors and high prices?

2) iOS apps on OS X. Why? Does anybody want this? The way I see it, web apps are perfectly adequate for the desktop environment when it comes to stuff like checking my bank account or browsing Hacker News. I don't want to deal with a desktop app to do any of the stuff I can currently do via a browser. Is there actually a use case?

3) Given the hellscape of bugs currently present in iOS/macOS, does anybody have faith that Apple is going to be able to navigate a rewrite of macOS on this scale? It sounds like the sort of thing that requires a lot of talent and a lot of focus. Apple has the capital for this, but not the environment, imo.

Seems to me like this could be the nail in the coffin for Macbooks that's been pending since the merger of the macOS/iOS teams and the introduction of the controversial TouchBar/USB-C Pro.
> As someone who reads text all day, going up to a 27" 150 PPI monitor was huge.

You're right, however not everyone has the same desktop space to accomodate a 27" panel. I can barely fit a 24" on my desk. 1440p monitors start at 25".

> The other footnote should be that display prices have been crashing recently.

When I was in the US at the end of 2014, one of my friends said the same thing about flash drives when I pointed out a $44 PNY 128GB flash drive. Unfortunately, other parts of the world doesn't work same way. Because EUR or other currencies are not fixed against US$, and prices fluctuate at most parts of the world if not increase. So, no, technology doesn't become cheaper as it matures at some parts of the world unfortunately.

Addendum: BTW, you are right about the 768p screens are generally found in entry level laptops or netbooks. These devices are most feasible ones when they first came out. Now they are bottom end cash cows which are virtually free to build.

You've never seen these kind of videos before? Local news stations have been gutted for at least a decade and they get just about all their non-local content in this way.
It is fairly common for newer versions of OS X to break software that worked on previous versions. If you try to use Photoshop 6 on a modern version of OS X it isn't going to work. I think this makes the chip transition less painful because no one really expects their old software to work anyway.
That is generally true; the nicotine in e-liquid is commonly extracted from tobacco. But at the point it is mixed into an e-liquid, assuming we're talking about a reputable organization, it is a completely pure nicotine solution.

If apple uses its own chips, I would assume that they would be aarch64 and not x86_64. Also, Microsoft has some magics for executing x86_64 binaries on aarch64 with good performance, so Apple may have a similar technology. We could end up with another situation similar to the Power->x86 transition that happened back in 2006.

Or it could be nothing. This is a pretty thin article.

I wonder if this is more about coprocessors and other chips than the main CPU.

I know the iPad Pros certainly outperform many cheaper Intel chips while using lower power.

But I doubt they would want to split the line into half ARM half Intel, or move the Mac Pro to ARM.

Yes, the browser checks the certificate presented includes a name which exactly matches the name in the URL it is trying to fetch.

The relevant RFC specifies two types of name suitable for servers, dnsName (a Fully Qualified DNS name written as text, except that there is no final dot, and optionally an asterisk may be used to make "wildcards") and ipAddress (an IPv4 or IPv6 address stored as a numeric value). Because this RFC is only about 20 years old, some software (but not e.g. Chrome, Firefox) also checks the X.500 series Common Name on a certificate to see if that seems to be textually equivalent to the name in the URL, which is how Netscape originally did this in like 1995 or whenever they invented SSL.

Unlike for DNS names we haven't substantially cleaned up the validation mechanisms Certificate Authorities may use for IP addresses, so they're a bit... lax, but the basic structure is you need to show you really have control over the address which was easy in this case.

Well... how closely are they looking? Not even joking here, although it's kind of funny in a sad way. I've had clueless "enterprise architecture" groups demand that I use some pointless framework or other - some EAI or ESB or ORM or something else that 100% gets in the way and 0% enhances productivity. So what I do is, I declare a dependency on the framework, use just enough of it so they can't say I'm _not_ using it, and then go ahead and write the damned code so that it works and avoids the pointless "framework" they're cramming down my throat.
