The labels are removed from the diagram but I believe the large gears in the middle are on top of a main spring, you can see a bit of the coil on the right.

So the diagram shows the mechanism upside-down.

At the top is the start/stop wheel. One revolution of that wheel and the lever clicks into the single slot, stopping the motion.

Just below that are the 3 travel wheels which are toothed for traction. The rear axle has a gear that engages the large gears on the main spring below.

Left of the main spring are the gears for limiting the speed, a kind of governor.

Imagine you’re the attorney for the other side and you asked the agent under oath if they were tainted by information they were sworn not to reveal.

For some of these agencies I would almost expect them to, let’s say embellish or fabricate, under oath to protect highly classified information. Does that not make them a tainted witness if they have to speak in half truths under oath?

The only way to get an absolutely fair trial would be if all of the information were declassified, or the judge, jury, and lawyers had security clearance. And who without a high clearance could judge what is pertinent to the case?

I think we have always known that justice and secrets clash, which is why we have (had) watchdog groups as a compromise.

It might indicate that the current environment in the US, including the legal/regulatory environment and the social environment, is structured (in some cases deliberately) to favor anti-democratic corporations, yes. (Note that at least some sources I've seen indicate that European worker coops have higher survival rates than conventional firms in the same market.)

Or it just might indicate that the democratic governance of firms in the US market is a less frequenrly tried thing, which has had less experience from which to optimize.

Or it might be a mix of both.

Good luck with the fork-and-rebuild strategy. It's a maddening process to track down then vendor all the upstream Dockerfiles when you want to use a DockerHub image, but don't trust DockerHub binary images.

I seriously don't get how folks are comfortable with using all these binary layers built and rebuilt from unspecified versions of other binary layers, all shipped with no cryptographic verification by default. (Transport security with SSL is good enough, yeah? sob)

That's because "whiteness" is an invented category. There are no historical threads that bind together just the people you think of as "white" that don't include many others that you exclude based solely on a modern historical understanding of "white".

Write a history of the Irish diaspora, Sweden, the Balkans, or Russia and nobody is going to call you racist. Claim some sort of tribal group that incorporates all of Europe and the Middle East except excludes people of a skin color or specific religious history you don't like, and you'll find that you're racist. Magic.

From 2007 to 2016 I was all-in on OS X / MacBook Pros / iMacs for work (software dev.) Since then I've gone back to a Dell XPS 15 and a custom-built AMD Threadripper machine. As much as I like the Mac hardware, I could no longer justify the cost. The XPS is a nice machine and (no touchbar - it's a feature) and my custom-PC is a monster. Windows 10 with all its warts is plenty serviceable especially now with it's Linux Subsystem (primarily because I prefer to use bash as my shell.)

I guess I'm no longer part of their target market for their computer systems.

Perhaps this is part of the reason why Apple is moving away from Intel chips to some of their own creations?
WIC doesn't cover diapers.
Mac Pro cheese graters going away was a bad move and a missed opportunity by Apple, today they already lost the power pro users and they had them for a while.

Most Mac Pro users have moved back to PC, or iMac's/minis just for iOS/macOS related dev, with most work being done on PCs.

Apple had a window where developers needed a heavy Pro Mac for iOS, nix development like python/ruby/etc, even Unity dev back when it was only on Mac (2007-2010 ish), it was also great to have a Mac after the 2006 Intel processor move as it was the sexiest nix and great for developers from 2006 on, but those days are over.

Somewhere in 2013, they just moved on from the cheese grater and Pro market that included developers and content creators. Now they want to regain it? There was so much momentum squandered here and hearing Tim Cook repeat "Post-PC" and Apple messaging that desktops were like trucks, only developers need them, caused them to move on, so did the pro users and developers. Apple even watered down their developer laptops and Macbook Pros, 17" screens were relegated to being 'lapzillas' and Apple went only mainstream. Content creators and programming were not something they focused on anymore after the iPhone took over, eventhough those influencers were always the focus. I thought they would use the iPhone and iOS/macOS platforms to get more people on their desktops as well, instead they went the other direction.

We used to be Mac Pro heavy now we just have iMacs/minis for the last mile or iOS/macOS export and testing with performance heavy beefy PCs for most of the day to day work. Additionally, taking your jet engine/trashcan new Mac Pro or iMac to the mall for repairs instead of just popping in a new video card or drive also sucks.

Developers can get two performance PCs for the price of one Mac Pro. Usually you can get more power out of both as well since Mac Pros from 2011 on were 1-2 years behind. There is no getting back pro users such as devs/game devs that had switched over and have now gone back to Windows/PC.

Er... the Wikipedia page you're citing at [2] has this to say:

"Results from simulations of planetary formation support the idea that a randomly chosen stable planetary system will likely satisfy a Titius–Bode law."

and

"96% of these exoplanet systems adhere to a generalized Titius–Bode relation to a similar or greater extent than the Solar System does."

It seems a very likely strategy for Comey (based on past instances of him lying under oath) to have tasked the unit with breaking into the phone, then simultaneously pushing on Apple to unlock it.

In this scenario, all Comey had to do was NOT ACCEPT the final report from the unit working on the phone, and that project would remain at <100% indefinitely. In a military beaurocracy setting, until a work order or transfer order is signed off by the one who issued it, it is not legally binding as being completed. Also, easy for Comey to tell the unit not to contact him with any details so he wouldn't have to purjure himself.

In any case, he really should be in jail, as he is a total sociopath and all of those FBI guys are guilty of watching kiddy porn.
Huh, really? I had a 2014 or something rMBP in work at one point; was almost certain it had a USB2 SD card reader.

EDIT: According to Apple, all the laptops are USB2: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204384

Desktops are PCIe.
You can update a shared library without regard to the applications using it. You just "apt update" the vulnerable library and all applications get it. (In theory--but the other side of this argument is that occasionally that will trigger a bug.)

If it's a static library, see my zlib comment. Those have the same problem.

> was far too slow for pro use

I read this every time it comes up on HN yet every single one of the five photographers in our shared office laments nothing more than the missing card reader.

If it was so slow why not just upgrade it to a USB3/PCIe-connected reader? and being a 'pro' device why didn't they do that already when USB3 became available?
The CPU also isn't really up to par for pro use cases. I understand not putting a burly CPU and pile of RAM into the mid-high-tier laptop but developers and media people need something. Running parallel make on my brand new touch bar macbook is like 2-4x slower than doing it in a linux VM on my ~$1500 windows desktop from a year ago, to the point where I'd work more efficiently running remote desktop on a $200 chromebook.
It would be nice to divide the cooccurence count by counts of respective two headers, to get a sort of correlation. Now it's quite hard to see anything beyond "most popular things are paired with most popular things" which is obvious.
I simply cannot imagine running something like that in a professional context. For me, "maybe this next update will install correctly" is a non-starter.

For consumers who just really want to run macOS, I can see the appeal.

Anecdote: I was once in a conversation with a fellow who was a rabbi and this topic came up. He said, "well...the way I think of it is, if you can think of ten characteristics that are 'Jewish', anyone who has any six of them can claim the title." I guess that's one way to be flexible.

Indulge my wild guess (I'm not a physicist):

If the proto solar system's matter distribution was a Gaussian-like distribution, it would make sense that matter density droped in a logarithmic scale, and thus planets formed droped logarithmically w.r.t radius.

More intuitively.. further away from the sun has less probability for rocks/particles to interact with each other.

Perhaps. I reject this argument though. A death is a death.

It's literally their job to report the news.

What has been unreliable about their reporting?
this is really about static vs dynamic linkage, regardless of the mechanism you use to effect run or build time binding of dependencies.

there are as always tradeoffs, but a few more arguments against dynamic:

by opening up a path (automatic updates) to a third party, you're providing a wide vector for those updates to cause new* problems (correctness, security) for your deployment, as well as fix old ones

transitive api compatibility across these upgrades is more of a statement of faith and effort of will than any real guarentee. in reality the compatibilities between the various components are piecewise, and if the graph gets big enough it can be really hard to find a compatible set of libraries.

runtime binary integration is always strictly worse than build time source integration, since there is tooling in the latter promoting consistency, and basically none in the former

since you'd really like to be able to deploy changes in your own* software with very little effort - dependency updates can ride on the same train for free.

presumably you have to have some intervention to restart your service against the new dependencies regardless. at that point its a question of the relative complexity of a dynamic restart of an existing service vs a build and deploy. in the limit these are both buttons.

from that perspective, dynamic updates are a helpful crutch for people who don't have a good handle on their own build, test and deploy. thats pretty far from being an arguable fundamental good.

I can't find a reference but there was a story about a drummer or bugler or something in an army, and when his side was defeated the opposing prince was about to kill him, and he said "No, I have done you no harm!

And the prince said "by aiding them you killed my men" and slew the man.

This is a myth that keeps going and going.

A Core i7 is not the same as a Xeon. ECC memory matters. The Apple premium simply isn't that much higher.

I also wanted to add that the cost of a person's time eclipses the cost of hardware (especially with computers). As a business, I simply wouldn't risk having days of downtime from a bad update, just to save $2,000 for something that's used for years, when the lost time in paying a creative person's salary will eclipse that.
Sure, it's definitely possible to have a fast SD card reader in a Mac laptop, but no Mac laptop, even ones with Pro in the name, ever actually did.

A lot of the headers in the "tail" are included by the other headers, or made available in some other way, which reduces their usage. For example, std::tuple is defined in both <tuple> and <utility>, which would help explain why <tuple> is lightly used. Most of <new> is implicitly defined by the compiler. <initializer_list> is "built-in". <iterator> is generally subsumed by "auto" and type inference.

Judaism is very different than most religions in that it doesn't try to spread, but is instead quite insular. If you want to convert it's a big deal with study, testing, and culminating with a literal certificate of conversion - that can be revoked. It's also very unique in that Jewish Orthodoxy considers it 'genetic'. If your mother was a Jew, you are a Jew - regardless of whether you consider yourself e.g. an atheist.

The majority of Jews today (in the ballpark of 75%) are Ashkenazi Jews which is a sort of 'race' in that they share a very recent common ancestor -- which is also why so many Jews share common physical features. All of this is very different than other religions, even other Abrahamic religions. So it is not inconsistent that state that Jews are an ethnic group, but other religious groups are not.
