Can confirm this. The new MBP with TouchBar has fried my USB Type-A Yubikey. I was ignoring the signs that it was getting quite warm, then one day it completely died.
Martin also sells mostly or entirely acoustic instruments, not electric. I would guess that acoustic guitar sales have remained more consistent than electric guitar sales over time.

Part (most?) of Gibson's problem is that the guitar just isn't as popular as it used to be.
I first heard the term "remote first" from a stack overflow blog post: https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/02/08/means-remote-first-com...

The key takeaway for me was: Remote-first means working remote is the default. It means making sure your remote employees are as much a part of the team as those in the office.

The team I work with - the rippled team - is 100% remote. Other teams within ripple work mostly onsite.
If you're cheating in a 101 class, you have much bigger problems than worrying about being expelled for committing fraud in a 101 class. The thing is, that isn't where people are cheating(probably), and finishing a BS in computer science is relatively easy. I'm going to stand by the fact that the hiring process is flawed, the college system is flawed, and our public school system is flawed. There's nothing motivating anyone to learn but themselves.
This is called a pepper:

If you read the article above, you'll see that you still need a salt, since users with very simple passwords will have the same hash: crack one, and you can crack the others for free.
As guitar player, I can tell you that there is at present a huge oversupply, particularly of electric guitars, relative to the number of guitar players there are around currently. Some of this is of course caused by people with oodles of spare cash taking up playing guitar, only to find that it is quite hard and time consuming and then dumping their catch-and-release nice guitars for much less than retail. Regardless, one only has to browse craiglist "musical intruments" to see many incredible guitars, lightly used amps and other equipment selling for far less than retail. The result - people who actually know what they are doing and have some spare money are scooping up bargains. Plus of course kids are sampling, etc, can't be bothered, and/or playing nicer acoustic guitars - as made by Martin, Collings, etc. Also - as other posters have pointed out - gibson diversified over its means. But it will come back, and then we will own all of the guitars :)

Unfortunately, vague statements assigning blame to ambiguous external actors (like yours) are very much a part of the discussion. Demand isn't artificially inflated. More people want to live here than there are housing units. So we need to build more, or agree only the most privileged deserve to reside in the Bay Area.
1. Maturing smartphone market.

4.No other growth drivers in sight after the failure of apple watch to become huge.
The issue is with value. Here's just one example. Let's say you have a TV series from the 80's. Doesn't matter it's 80+ shows, it doesn't sell at all anymore. Value is, if you look at it that way - zero. However, you have new films which aren't all that hot, but TV networks and stations are interested to buy three year rights for their geography if you package that show (and several others) with it. How do you value that show then? As part of the package pricing (not gonna happen) or as zero value? It obviously has some value, but it's hard to price it. Especially with hardcore accounting at these companies.

Another example is development and development hell. Let's consider the same show. Its value is still zero on the books. It ain't sellin', yo! For years! However, there's a script and development for a movie based on it. Trouble is, it's been in development (money gathering, mostly) for the past seven or so years. Once the movie is made and has a venue run, maybe that old IP will be of some value again... or like in the case before, as a package or gratis with the movie. Who knows?

These are just trivial examples. TV business revolves around producing 'packages'. Be it a single show of 80+ shows or packages that offer the same or anything in between. It's easier to sell it that way, because time slots can then be populated during the season easily. No one wants to buy one of anything, unless it's Star Wars or anything of that calibre. By selling those packages to TV networks and stations, with rights anything between 1-5 years (one viewing + one re-run, or unlimited re-runs) and for their particular geographical location only, distributors and studios have a constant stream of revenue. They do various combinatorics with their portfolio in order to ensure constant stream. Without geo locks and without numbers (of shows), TV networks and stations won't buy, and they are A LOT better market than one or two providers like Netflix. That's also the reason why Netflix sucks outside of US and why they're moving towards their own production (Amazon also).

I think, and I may be wrong (but I am in that business), is first you have to break that revenue model. Once producers have another model to get revenue, then options will arise to get rid of stupidities around IP. One cannot look into other directions, like music business, since production costs are magnitudes higher and most TV and film stuff produced already calculate 10-20+ years of revenue down the stream. As it is now, once you produce 80+ of anything, it's guaranteed revenue (either for that or as an added bonus for something else) forever practically. How do you break that first? They will fight that aggressively.

Aside from all that, Lynda Obst talked about ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oHW31jQfg ) how Netflix killed DVD market and how that cascaded into what we have now, considering quality and other stuff. Interesting interview, and all true, if you're interested in the problem space from TV and Film perspective.

In XMPP you cannot easily enumarete other servers s2s connections. If the censor connects as a client he can only see their own contacts.

As for sharing IDs if you post them publicly then of course they are revealed and can be blocked.
Agreed with this. There's a disproportionate number of students that are doing the work because they feel forced to. If the education system isn't willing to somehow alter itself to engage its students rather than force pointless crap on them that they'll try hard to forget after finals, then the education system can continue to expect a large number of people attempting to game the system.

Should it be condoned? Obviously not, but the point is this cheating thing is only a symptom of a much bigger issue
I definitely notice (1) from time to time.

Besides retroactive copyright being absolutely ridiculous, there are no studies that clearly show that IP promotes science and arts.
Any one of those items could be problematic depending on the individual. I see it (particularly in light of the following paragraph) as a call to me mindful and intentional about your media consumption.

Me and my spouse watch a movie together every Friday night. It becomes a conversation piece as we go through the rest of the weekend. It is one thing among many things we might do together or with friends through the weekend. Some couples that I know will binge watch an entire television series through the weekend. It becomes the only thing that they do -- it carries them from the end of the work day on Friday to work on Monday in an unreflective daze. I can understand the need to unwind, but at some juncture you've gone from unwinding to simply filling time, hardly eudaimonia.

For myself, the problems has been news aggregation (I read too much, reflect on what I read too little) and social media (makes me lonely, when I could better be using the time to talk with and make friends).

If you are just there to fill the void, then maybe it would be better to work at becoming comfortable with the void.
I recently bought the current generation XPS 13 (9370), and it now has 3 USB-C ports, two on one side and one on the other. You can charge on all 3 of them. Just being able to plug in the charging cord on either side of the device is immensely convenient, and reassuring because the single USB-C port was the first thing that failed on my last XPS 13 (9350).
That's if there are actually reductions in income/sales taxes. If the LVT money is instead invested in say mass transit, the population as a whole benefits, but rents don't increase, because money supply doesn't increase.
Replace the LEDs with laser diodes if you want something truly impressive.
Bundling Tor in an app is quite an engineering hurdle and latency increase, but yes. Pluggable transports allow the public to find solutions that work for specific countries faster than an in-house development team as well. Delegating censorship circumvention to the Tor Project as an opt-in option for users could save a lot of engineering hours.

Tackling it yourself does get you some easy press opportunities though, as this upvoted article proves.
We don't need oppressive regimes to "realize" they're oppressive. We simply need to shift the incentives by making it financially expensive to censor. This is known as "collateral freedom"[1], and has been used to publish censored content in China.

The future looks good for their services revenue considering the current growth momentum and the 1.3 billion active Apple devices they can sell services to.
I don't necessarily agree. I Think that does happen, in fact thats more or less how I met my best friend. But I think coincidence plays a far deeper role. I've made some great friends online just by happening to be playing in the same match and accepting an invitation to a group for no reason. I remember how I joined my six man destiny clan - three years ago I was playing in the iron banner and just so happened to party up. We then played all weekend and for the next three years. Same thing happened when I joined a group that messaged me because my gamertag was coincidentally related to their group name.
As an electrical engineer - I think incidents like these are a pretty solid argument for incorporating overvoltage protection into 5V USB peripherals.

Even something as simple as a zener clamp with a polyfuse to make a dead-simple crowbar circuit will save a device and won't contribute a whole lot to BOM cost.
This happened to my work computer. Fortunately instead of frying the peripheral the port fried itself and now the furthermost port doesn't work.

I took it to my company's IT and they told me that apple laptops which around 20% of the workforce use, causes 80% of the problems.

He jokingly mentioned that if my company stops using apple computers he'd probably be out of a job.
wonder if and how this impacts their ad targeting abilities?

Not at all, the NN that does ad targeting has already been trained on the data. Deleting it will make no difference (assuming you believe they actually will delete it)
Thanks for the comparison, I've been out of the VR game for awhile. It looks like the Oculus Go is an amazing price for what it offers based on that spreadsheet.
But he got thousands of people censored. I hope he's happy.
It sounds like you have a hard time putting yourself in this person's shoes.

Why are you using a 6-year old account to (not quite) anonymously request assistance with your personnel concern? I'm not going to try to find out who you are or who your employee is, but you are doing yourself no favors by using a non-throwaway account.
...and I'm not sure Google has claimed any different. Just that HSTS enforced on the TLD level is more secure than otherwise, which it is.
From what I can see, the real problem was that he leaked confidential information to the outside world. Unless we can prove some harm to the consumer or the shareholder, I don't see why anyone outside of the company should care.

I still see this as a contractual matter. If his employment contract strictly forbade him from doing this (and it might very well do so), then that's grounds for termination. Just like how copying homework could be grounds for suspension from school. But still a different effect on society than stealing.

Another thing to consider: he's making the company management look bad. The smart thing to do would be to promote him for his smart thinking.
My Macbook Pro fries itself.
I've noticed #1 when traveling with the ungrounded attachment for the power brick and a type-F power adapter. At home I still use the old 3-prong cable from my previous gen MBP or USB-C power from a dock's grounded power supply and don't get that weird sensation.

I would love to see universities set a precedent and just catalog these YoutTbers by name, and then let them know that they are permanently barred from ever being admitted to their schools.

That would send a very strong message about how dishonorable academic cheating is. Anyone promoting it is unfit for higher education, for obvious reasons.
Are you arguing that bankability explains the originality?

That's possible. Perhaps current directors and stars are less bankable? Or perhaps current bankable directors and stars are less original?

Ouch! Pass through power mode for the lose. Next I would wonder if it were symmetric, which is to say if you plug the charger into the left furthermost plug, do any other plugs show up with 19V on them ?

I'm guessing someone "assumed" you would always plug the charger into the port closest to where the mag safe connector used to be.

I have this problem often when I’m in Africa. Sometimes the case shocks me very lightly as well. I’ve always assumed it’s a problem with lack of grounding and/or dirty power. (Had it with non-macs as well)
And those owners will be paying more in taxes. And every time property values go up (or rather land values), they have to pay even more.
And the entire Canada, where the story is taking place, is single-party consent.
This is subtly wrong. Taxing rents instead of labor and consumer goods makes leasing less profitable (assuming government expenditures don't favor landlords) and creates opportunities in labor and consumer goods, in which erstwhile landlords can engage.
It's #1 on the first page. It would be understandable if this was a widespread issue but it being a single case, someone must really hate Apple.
Hey Ted, since you're here, may I please suggest that the future implementation of 2FA not require a separate app? Even though Namecheap is using Authy OneTouch, it still requires a dedicate app, which is unnecessary. Thanks.
Thank you very much, that is the best review I've ever received on my book.

As for the story; the clues are there in public if you dig a bit, but aren't all that interesting to anyone.
thanks, i wont write bad articles next time.

At least Google isn't making your phone laggy on purpose! (too soon?)

Joking aside, there are a lot of sketchy, crappy Android devices, but there are also some decent ones (e.g. straight from Google). I suspect you've only been exposed to the crappy ones.
I would say that older generations are already locked-in, locking-in younger generations is the problem.
He probably means SMT - surface mount technology.
Everything works great on my MacBook Pro. No issues with USB-C at all. Having used it for a bit, I'm not a fan of the keyboard, but I use an external ergonomic keyboard for my day-to-day usage so it doesn't bother me.

Surface Mounted Device/Technology (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology)
Reading some other peoples comments it appears some peripherals manage the voltage somehow but get very hot... seems unlikely 20v though, perhaps the exact voltage varies by machine, only becoming obvious in extreme cases like this.

You need to provide statistics for extraordinary claims about housing being purchased by foreign investors and not used. Common sense says it should be a very marginal phenomenon. After all, renting out property should almost always be worth it with the high housing prices in the area.
I agree that Apple has revenue challenges, and that the smartphone market has fully matured.

However, I think there is a compelling future where the iPhone is the heart of a constellation of devices that we use everyday. Actually, that is not even the future, that is the present. The sheer power of the devices in our pockets is only just now being realized.

In such a world, Apple is poised to have significant competitive advantages over others. That is, hardware and software integration. The next 5-10 years are going to be as exciting as the original smartphone revolution.

This is a rough one, because the intent is genuinely good, but - as usual - the implementation is very poor. That always makes it extremely difficult to talk about reasonably with most people.

That's correct, so I think the only chance we have is phased approach. Not repealing prop 13 as of now but start with excluding new homeowners from it (or at least increase limits on annual reassessments for them (from current no more than 2% a year)).

There is an idea of excluding commercial properties from Prop 13 too (I think they shouldn't have to be covered to begin with, the whole idea of prop 13 was to "keep that old lady in her house when she has retired and cannot keep up with raising expenses").

Also props 58 and 193 allow to inherit Prop 13 tax assessment by children and grandchildren (again against original idea of prop 13 to just help elderly with living in their places when retired) so Prop 13 expanded that way to became multi-generational.

We can consider excluding non-primary residences from it too.
