Some of that might be the fact that Japanese and Korean automakers don't compete in that space. From anecdotal experience in North Carolina, plenty of folks would buy, say, a new Fusion over an Accord, whether out of brand loyalty ("I'd rather push my Ford than drive a Chevy" shirts are real and worn by actual live people), "patriotism", or a desire for a softer ride. There are still more Accords or Camrys, though.
They keyboard is bad. It may not be atrocious and I've seen some desktop keyboards with much larger key travel which are even more unpleasant. But good it is not. Which is surprising, because Apple created the best chiclet-style keyboards in the past. The older mabooks and the airs are completely acceptable. The Apple "magic" keyboard is actually pleasant to type on and I bought a third party keyboard which mimics it, although cheaper and 'solar' powered.

They made bad compromises. People who actually needed a macbook pro were not asking for a slimmer package. People focusing on size and weight might.

Case in point: I bought a Macbook (not pro, but with second gen butterfly switches) for my wife, she doesn't seem to mind, even when typing essays. She is not a touch typist however.

I'm typing this in a Macbook Pro at work, but using a bluetooth keyboard, so it is a non issue. At home, same deal, except I'm planning to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard.

If I am on the go, then I'll have to use the integrated keyboard. But this is rare for me. If you only use it on the go occasionally, then the keyboard may not be a deal breaker.

Still, my Dell Chromebook has a MUCH better keyboard, and it only cost me a couple hundred bucks. This is seriously wrong.

As someone who has been quoted by major news outlets in what's likely a similar fashion - adding color to the story rather than reporting news - there is rarely "vetting" and the fact checking that occurs is merely confirming that what the journalist wrote matched what I said. They don't try to find additional sources to corroborate the story.

So the fact checking focused on the surveys conducted, the methodology, etc - not whether Drew Cloud was a real person.

(Also, I'm a real person so it's possible they do this type of vetting and I never experienced it because... well, I'm real)
There's a big difference between knowing when to break the rules, which Altman and Graham advocate, and being commercially dishonest like LendEDU has been. Even putting aside the ethics, there are industries you fuck around with rules in and then there's consumer lending.
What Apple software? Homebrew? Crusty old 2007 GNU coreutils?

I can understand this guy's hate for Apple though. They're violently hostile to anyone with a screwdriver or a compiler.
Apple has an article on how to clean these keyboards: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT205662

I've personally found that the steps work pretty well, and also if you have a vacuum with a brushed attachment on a lower setting may help if compressed air doesn't do it.

You could also bring it in to the apple store and they could attempt to clean it for you!

> Okay lets do that. How do they enforce it? There are some exchanges that are decentralized themselves and can't be taken down easily.

So your argument is "You can make it illegal all you want, but we'll just move it underground and it will never die."

Arguments like that do little to win over regulators. The last time I checked in the US, cryptocurrency fell within the jurisdiction of the CFTC, IRS, SEC, and FinCEN agencies. Three of those agencies have already made policies regarding cryptocurrencies without needing an act of congress.

> On another front, it might be hard to galvanize support to ban cryptocurrency when many of the movers and shakers have embraced it.

Again, this argument is not compelling enough. Popular things once done by people or companies have been made illegal time and time again. Any argument that allows companies to profit off illegal activities (money laundering comes to mind) in a legal way without regulation, is DOA.
Learing to pronounce French words is rather easy. English is a huge mess.
Apple Stores CAN get the keycaps for these models. I think they default to replacing the top case because replacing the keycaps themselves don't always resolve the issue, but if you ask nicely at the apple store they may be willing to give you a few extra key caps if you're willing to install them yourself!
I think the #deleteFacebook thing will blow over. But we have yet to see its impact. The Cambridge Analytica story happened near the end of the quarter and we don't yet know its real impact.
Not sure it's actually wrong, but it does read weird.

As an English speaker, one problem with learning another language is that there isn't an obvious choice of which other language to learn. Whereas, if you are from a non-English speaking background, then English seems the most obvious choice of language to learn in today's world.

I think that is worse here in Australia than in some other parts of the English-speaking world. I mean, in Canada, the obvious choice is French; in parts of the US it is probably Spanish. There is no obvious choice in Australia.

It's a clipped version of After putting up with [one] wedged truck..., it seems valid to me. Similar to An apple a day keeps the doctor away, or more similarly, An apple a day, and the doctor stays away.
They can technically just replace the key caps, but it's possible it won't resolve the issue, or the top case may suffer more significant damage during the replacement and they don't want you to unexpectedly be without your computer for a week because the key cap repair failed. You could ask them to try it though.
They do plenty of laptop repairs in-store, just not this one.

Unlike the earlier chiclet design they don't pop the keycaps off, they literally replace the top case.

If you're out of warranty this is a $500 repair.
Me too (though I was young). My newspaper even had a portrait next to her name like the other authors. Now I wonder who it was.

Would you recommend any platforms, social media groups where I could talk to experienced people of this nature.
Thanks!

How Facebook Devalued the Birthday
Not saying that you are wrong, but I have a couple of questions: do you touch type? which types of keyboards did you use in the past? Laptop, desktop, chiclets? Mechanical?

I think this may have to do with the kinds of keyboards people are used to. Some prefer lighter keys, some prefer a lot of key travel, some like clicky keys, etc.

This is why Cherry makes so many kinds of switches...
That's a false dichotomy, no one said anything about going back.

Never mind that Josef Mengele was a licensed physicians, or that the AMA was well established before the Tuskegee syphilis experiments occurred, also with work performed by licensed physicians.

Just that the bureaucracy has resulted in an industry that fails patients. Heart surgeons refuse difficult surgeries to juke the stats. Good for their mortality ratings (not that anybody could blame individuals doctors)[1], not so great for patients.

Even just the notion of specialties hurts the patient - it makes perfect sense that the deep knowledge involved means that an orthopedic doctor can't (and shouldn't!) treat issues that should be seen by a podiatrist. But at the end of the day, the patient is in chronic pain, and has such a low quality of life, that to them, the risks of street heroin are acceptable. This isn't a moral failing by the patient's, nor is it a lack of intelligence, this life being too much to bear otherwise, and if you've never considered suicide as an option, be grateful.

Dr. David Casarett's talk[2] takes a closer look at an alternate, but accepted medical practice, and gives some thoughts about how our medical bureaucrats have resulted in worse patient care.

This can’t be right. I had a MBP screen and battery replaced in under two hours, on site at my nearest Apple Store, in the last six months.
The new one? I was told they would have to send my 1 month old, purchased from an Apple Store late 2016 MBP in for a flakey 'R' key to have the top case replaced. I asked if they could pop off the keycap and clean it and they said that they do not do that on the butterfly design.
Yah seriously, I actually think the magic mouse v2 complaints are ridiculous. Apple Maps v1 WAS bad, but if you didn't like it, you could still use google maps.
I communicate very often with team members but preferably one on one or with the people directly involved. My main focus is to make sure people are working in the right direction and to make sure that everybody knows what they need to know. So sometimes you need full team meetings and often I just tell developer X to talk to developer Y directly to remove obstacles.

My observation from the few large companies I know is that there is a huge layer of management types who basically report to each other and create a lot of busywork without real output. If a developer doesn't know how long something will take they will grill him for estimates until he gives the politically correct number. I rarely see any of them engage in the real problem or help solving them. It's always "When is it done?". And they certainly never listen to complaints and actually act on them. The A/C making a guy sick constantly because it's too cold? This is what a manager should fix but typically they don't. Workplace too loud? Fix it! Stop calling meetings to discuss that already have been discussed.

You can't plan your way to success. It can only be done by actually working.

The idea is to put a barrier in front of any complaints. Complainants have to actually go to someone who can use the law, while the bank hides behind their Terms & Conditions.
Just FYI, some credit cards extend manufacturer warranties to two years, so may be worth looking into it. Also, which model do you have? Some non-TB 2016-2017 13" MBP are eligible for a free topcase replacement for battery issues.
Dear Casey Neistat – From the CEO of Patreon [video]
Waze is definitely more aggressive about its neighborhood routing. Though they could be using the same underlying code somewhere, its definitely tuned differently. The main integration point into Google Maps is the accident reporting and active traffic data.
If you can do validation from a perspective where your ISP can send you a full BGP table, you should be able to keep track of how recently the most specific route to that destination has changed; something that has changed recently or that currently has an AS path different than what has historically been typical may be suspect.

AWS does have some network diversity in different regions; they apparently do not operate their own backbone to interconnect the different AWS regions.

(And for all that Hurricane Electric seems to have not been doing a great job of filtering BGP announcements from peers, they do seem to have pretty aggressive pricing on colo space in their Fremont data center where they can provide a full BGP feed.)
If you can't laugh at yourself, someone else will do it for you.

OOTH – a user identity management system
This is a trope argument. You don't have to be connected at the hip with the rest of the company all the fucking time to make sure you are building the right thing. We are people, not cattle. You can instead do daily standups to make sure people are going in a direction you want. People (Management esp) who never get in the zone, don't fucking get it.

Status, envy, screen size - this is all bullshit. You have never been a good dev.
FWIW, this is also the case on RHEL-based systems.
The OP is not making a case that the keyboard feels bad, he's saying it's questionably fragile design - as a tool, it is unreliable.

I can concur, have had sometimes flakey keys going on 1.5 years now. I'm fairly adept at removing the keycaps but have several that trigger double-presses from time to time. It's frustrating.
For anyone suffering from this problem on a 13" MBP non-touchbar with an elapsed warranty: you may be eligible for a free topcase replacement (the part that houses the keyboard) as Apple has identified some models that have defective batteries (and a battery repair == new topcase == new keyboard).

I live in Leonia, as mentioned in the article, and while I'm unsure of how much less traffic businesses are actually seeing, I do notice that when I'm navigating to places out of town, Google Maps and Waze never route me on local streets inside town anymore, preferring to go on the main thoroughfares until outside the town, and then crossing between them on other towns' local streets.
> or you can buy RHEL

Or use CentOS. Oh wait, that's exactly what tens or hundreds of thousands of small businesses did and keep doing even today. Besides, that's not even a good comparison - Red Hat Linux was and is mainly about packaging other vendors' software, as opposed to Java, which is a monolithic piece of software developed as a single project.

> Google maintains an in-house OpenJDK

Didn't know that. How can they do that while keeping compatibility with Oracle's OpenJDK? Well, this information just reinforces my point, actually. Google is already in position to ditch Oracle as an upstream and unite with other parties to build a new foundation for open-source Java.

> Google is hardly famous for its long term commitment to stable APIs and old versions of software

Nobody likes to use other people's buggy code. I think you are mixing up two different things. Google does iterate their own software at a fast pace, but that doesn't mean it doesn't want the underlying infrastructure to be as stable as possible.

No doubt all empires deploy similar tactics, but in respect to the topic at hand I doubt Canada believes there is a credible threat of France using french as an excuse to annex parts of Canada. While Kazakhstan have seen Russia execute this strategy multiple times in very recent years.

It's ironic that the article seems to think building more roads, thereby improving road-to-miles-driven ratio will ease congestion.

It also takes as fact that it's "as inefficient" to use Waze. My experience is Waze often does cut commute time down; not always; but on the aggregate it demonstrably, scientifically, provably does. That's why it's a huge success and people use it.

I do think there are problems with drivers disregarding the law (speed limits, signs etc.) on smaller streets, and perhaps they need to be more aggressively punished for doing so. In general I am for more aggressive fees, sentencing and punishment for violating driving rules.
Qbserve has been pretty great for me as well. Good days for me are >6 hrs of productive time. I'm torn b/c all of my Zoom meetings are counted as productive time, but thankfully basically all of my meetings actually are productive. Company culture enforces such productivity. I count email as "neutral" time, which seems about right.
But whenever dreams of former glory set the agenda, they are promoted as an injustice of the past: "history cheated us out of an empire, let's take back what we are owed". ww2 Japan seems to be the rare exception (unless I am missing some former expansion phase and contraction cycle)

>The trivial counter example would be a deeply nested `setTimeout(..., 5000)` inside the javascript code.

Well of course, setTimeout isn't async/await based, its callback based. If instead you only had this api, you could make that formal assertion:

await promiseSetTimeout(time).then(...);

And in fact you can write promiseSetTimeout today!

So basically, async/await provides this as long as you only use async/await. In JS you can't formally assert this because there are functions that subvert the normal control flow, but if you outlaw those, you absolutely can.

Yes, that's my original point. I don't see the difference between humans and animals, especially intelligent social beings such as pigs, as so great as to justify actions which would be considered grossly immoral against a human, and I don't understand how others can.

> People could buy drugs before. Sure they can use cryptocurrency instead of cash, but the old problems remain: getting the product from the buyer to the seller. The state can, and sometimes does, prevent that because until teleportation is invented getting the drugs you bought online into your hands opens you to risk. Buying drugs is certainly easier, but it doesn't help to talk in these ridiculous terms. I bought pot in college just fine. If I buy drugs and have it shipped to me I'm at the same risk whether I used cash or Bitcoin.

This is an astonishing and vulgar display of privilege.

The next time you meet an older MS patient with far less mobility and social connections than you, I dare you to tell them "I bought pot in college just fine." I'm astounded that this is your best response. If this is the position of blockchain bears, the bullish position seems downright rational by contrast.
