My main problem with the jack removal is that not only did it make life worse for many people, but there's really no reason for the removal. You want to convince everyone to use bluetooth headphones, fine! You don't need to get rid of the jack for that.

And the space excuse seems like a silly one: They managed to fit one in the quite thin and small iphone 6. The 5 / SE is plenty thin (my preferred phone right now) and has one. Really, I don't need a phone to be smaller than that, and phones keep getting getting larger anyway!

More generally with apple products, I don't need them to keep "innovating" all the time. My 2013 retina macbook pro is the best laptop I've ever used, and they had to make it thinner and remove a bunch of stuff for no good reason. sigh The latest iphones are marginal improvements over their previous iterations, especially in comparison to how huge a leap each one of the first few iterations were. And this is fine! It means you're approaching a stable, mature product. Stop rejiggering everything. :-(

Non resident tax collected at marginal rate by bank. You'll be taxed at marginal rate when you leave the EU.

For younger people without responsibilities, I do suggest they think about the Bay Area. If you have the right set of skills, you can skyrocket your career rapidly. If you don't like it, move back home and hopefully you gained some valuable life experience.

I've seen staff engineers at age 25 at Facebook and Google... Very rare, but having this amount of impact, responsibility, and trust from others is basically unheard of anywhere else (outside of other major Google offices worldwide).
Well, when there's two issues, one needs to be fixed before the other.
My family is similarly divided, except we do talk about politics. If anything, our last Thanksgiving was longer than usual...

Politics is not "squabbling". America is a democracy - decentralized discussion of ideas is how democracy works. Social cohesion through silence is what creates hyperpartisan cultures like our own.

The problem is most Americans use mass media as their role model for communication... and modern media thrives on angry controversy.

Don't evangelize or try to convince, just deeply understand the other person. What values does a person hold (their "axioms"), and how are those prioritized? What opinions make up their practical world view, how do they resolve conflicts... unwrap the onion one layer at a time. And let them do the same to you.

The act of explaining often tunes people in to inconsistencies in their belief, and erodes the emotional foundation. From there, techniques like the Socratic method are useful for debate

> Wouldn't more Tor 3rd party integration (soon Brave, Mozilla in the future, ...) lead to greater incentive for website operators to allow Tor?

That seems like a long game. Tor is starting with a minuscule marketshare; Fusion will only be used by users in a special mode, afaict - again, probably very few; and if Brave's marketshare is higher or lower, the difference is immaterial. There are even websites that aren't compatible with Firefox itself, or so I'm told; it will be a long time before anyone cares about Tor users.

Also, users whose personal data is harder to access are less valuable to the website; websites have an incentive to make it harder to use Tor. Finally, many associate Tor with criminality; that's not an attractive market and it's very easy for the CSO to say, 'just block it; it's not worth the time or cost'.
"Finally, it combined the real adjusted salary data with the opportunity data, giving double weight to the opportunity data."

How do you decide how to combine "adjusted salary data" and "opportunity data"? They aren't even in the same unit. I find that this is often the problem with these city rankings (not only this one, but also "quality of life" or "most expensive city" rankings). There is no universal way to weigh these factors, and your result highly depends on the particular weightages you assign, often arbitrarily.

What is a racist? Is this a fixed idea or does it change year to year and depend on the context? Shouldn't we be careful about writing off people based on fluctuating social mores? What about fascists, Marxists, communists, and anarchists? And, say, Trump supporters? Do they deserve basic human respect? Is there any reason not to dehumanize these groups too? Or others who fail our moral tests?
But in real life, do you actually expect we will stop climate change before it causes any serious harm? When do you think we'll start doing that? We've done almost nothing so far but what we have done is incrementally developed technology to allow humans to comfortably survive severe weather like storms, floods, and droughts. So I say pragmatic because it's a continuation of what we already do, and optimistic because I believe it will be successful at saving us. I've yet to see a highly likely climate change prediction that couldn't be defended against with engineering on a scale smaller than what we've already achieved.
We need to reform that. There are too many ways for NIMBYs to throw obstacles in front of new development, which hurts everyone, and helps mostly the rich who already own property.
I don't think these questions are uncommon in the industry. I've seen brain teaser questions from Microsoft, for example. I think when people write about them they just attach the examples to something emblematic for marketing, and then it becomes common lore.
The main point from an investor perspective is that if anything happens to the "ads market" landscape, Google as a whole will be greatly affected. For example, new legislation surrounding targeted advertising or use of personal identifiable information for marketing purpose could have a major impact on Google. And those are not some far fetch and unlikely scenario. Some government are eager to put some rules and barriers to protect user privacy and to limit what can be done with it (specially in Europe), and many consumers agree and also care about "their" data. Legislation is not the only risk, even technological breakthrough could shake the ad industry. For example, smartphone became a big deal in the span of very few years. It took Google and Facebook a couple years to adapt to shifting advertising revenue from web browsing to mobile browsing. If you remember some of the early financial reports from Facebook back in 2012, most of them were disappointing due to the fact that many of their users shifted to mobile browsing, and Facebook had a really hard time find a way to display ads on mobile that would result in a click. Their whole business was impacted and it took them a couple years to start growing their ad business again.

The main point is, if you only make money by selling 1 thing (which is Ads, regardless of what medium they use to show their ads), then if something actually happens to that source of revenue, the effect is major. The more diversified your revenue source is, the less likely it is that a single event will affect your company in a major way. Again, not saying Google doesn't have many products, and obviously, having search ads, youtube ads, mobile ads, (and more) as different mediums help mitigate some of the risk that could affect those individual products, but they are still very much exposed to the risks of a changing market.

But they should care. Rent control is like gold hand cuffs. Eventually you face a very high chance of being trapped in a dammed if you stay (wrong location, not enough room, etc.) and dammed if you move (huge increase in rent) situation. Building more housing, in sufficient numbers, should alleviate this problem.
How much of this ICO story is simply rediscovering things that old finance had already found?

All this talk about being able to trust the entrepreneurs, that they were building a real business in good faith, it's not exactly a new problem.

The solution, before blockchain muddied the waters, was that you'd find a reputable investment bank, which would stake its reputation on your sincerity, and they'd introduce you to people who would be willing to invest. There would be a bunch of rituals to go through, like a road show, presentations, meetings. And that's not all; there was a regulatory process they would show you how to pass as well.
Is a down vote a yes?
Yes, I know. I thought that the secure enclave requires the user passcode to authorize an update, but after re-reading the iOS security whitepaper, I am no longer sure that this is actually correct. (it’s not mentioned anywhere)

So while you do have to provide your passcode to update an iOS device, it could be that this requirement is only enforced at a higher level (ie. not by the secure enclave itself).
The beauty of this can be seen by how those securities are leverage and enhanced on CopperheadOS.

I criticise Google a lot for how much information they store on us, but this work they do both on Android (open-source) and the Pixel phones hardware should receive more praise.
They haven't done enough "damage". That's why the problem leaked from the traditional 'silicon valley' (south bay) area, crept into SF, and now 700 sq ft apartments in fucking orinda and richmond are $2000+. We can't wait for the nimby's to die off -- get rid of prop 13, rent control, zone everywhere in SF for 30 story buildings, before you can't even afford an aparment in Antioch and Tracy.
If you don’t have savings, that is not a solution. I understand it was offered as a multiple choice option on the test, but if not feasible in the person’s actual life, it is not an option for them. And same thing with the credit card idea. Getting credit cards is impossible or already maxed out for most people living in poverty, which is the grounds for the predatory pay day loan industry.
More housing (even luxury) increases supply thus lowers prices. That means that someone living in a studio might move to a 1 bed, leaving the studio vacant, thus increasing supply as people move up — a process that is only possible with a greater supply.

And rent control actually leads to shortages as mobility is reduced because of people staying in places longer than they would have otherwise. It also disincentivizes creation of new housing.

Greater supply is needed. That’s the bottom line.
If we were on Reddit I would have given you gold.

I am not a US citizen, but during the years I spend in SF it became painfully clear how backwards SF policies are.

It is really sad to see that logic is loosing to populist ideas.
Yeah, I think that's a fair criticism. I guess to be logically consistent I'd have to be on board with not letting people vote unless they've lived in an area long enough or own property or something (requiring property ownership seems like a bad idea). I'm not sure how I feel about that though. I guess one thing I can think of is that if you're a citizen you at least nominally share many American values, which is not necessarily true for someone who is just here for career reasons.

Surely the solution to that is not having fewer victims sue the people responsible? Sure, that would reduce the total pain and suffering payments, but in an unfair way by giving it all to a few who get lawyers while the others get nothing, not even the cost of medical bills.
No, it's about the fact that Apple signifies non-Apple users with green text bubbles. So he's saying that his iStatusSymbol is such a crucial component of his identity that he's petrified of the social ramifications of his peers knowing that his fealty to Apple has wavered.

You are not accurately interpreting the statistics you cite. Vacancy rates do not take into account units that are bought and never put into the rental market.
The Ford F150 makes a gross profit margin of $10,000 to $13,000/vehicle. It sells 800,000 F150s each year, for a profit of $8 billion or more on just the F150s. By the way, F150s sell for about the same as the Model 3.

Porsche has gross margins of $18,000 to $23,000 on its vehicles, which are comparably priced to Tesla's other models.

Really, if you drill down into the actual numbers, you'll see that Tesla isn't significantly more profitable than other car makers on a per-vehicle basis, and they're certainly not wildly more profitable.

With the Model 3, Tesla needs to scale up just be in the black. It would need to sell somewhere on the order of several hundred thousand Model 3s each year to approach the per-vehicle gross margins of the Camry, and more than a million Model 3s each year to achieve the gross margins of the F150. Unless they drastically improve quality control, that's simply not happening.
Presumably Telegram doesn't know for sure why Apple is blocking updates... They are most likely getting stonewalled, with Apple not responding to any of their requests for information.

Telegram suspects that Apple is trying to appease Russian censors while keeping a low profile and plausible deniability. Perhaps Apple is buying time and showing goodwill to Russia while they negotiate a deal - who knows?

Acting on their suspicion, Telegram makes this announcement, putting pressure on Apple to unblock updates, or at least to stop stonewalling them.

It's a clever use of PR as a tactical weapon. And assuming that Apple was indeed stonewalling Telegram (extremely likely knowing Apple), I think it's perfectly justified.

The rich (and their lobbyists) write the laws. The system is set up this way intentionally. The public subsidize the risks of the wealthy while brainwashing the lower classes to accept these risks as their "lot in life". It's not some crazy accident, the game is rigged. You can see this play out in the bank bailouts, the new tax laws and various other policies.

America is a country for the rich with rules written by the rich.
How DeepMind used YouTube vids to train game-beating Atari bot
It's entirely possible, I'd speculate. I once called Apple tech support for help with my iPhone. So they could see what was going on right on my phone, they were able to remotely request a "screen sharing" session, which I had to click "Allow" on a dialog on my phone to approve. One can imagine that such an approval dialog is not actually required in a technical sense, and _theoretically_ a screen share could be remotely started without any such dialog/notification.
The word 'permanent' doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
Paying thousands of dollars per year just so that users can run your free software is ludicrous. Code signing does nothing but teaching users to ignore security errors. Nothing is stopping bad actors from signing executables. Platforms are too lazy by putting the burden on the developer. Why not let users download the apps directly from the publisher/developer ? I guess that would make it harder for the platform to leech on the developers, and gate-keep their users.
I've copied that exact command from 3rd party documentation. Microsoft didn't even bother to give a SHA-2 example in theirs.

And maybe I'm spoiled, but could it not require four switches of a "don't do useless thing" kind? It's as if `copy` required /ones /zeros switches to be explicit you don't want it to omit these bits.
When we see stories of China’s social credit system, I always see people who automatically shudder at the thought. But in the end, the US wants the same thing. The Chinese system almost seems more honest, because they admit what it is and embrace it. In the US such a system would be piecemeal and hidden. It’s not clear to me that that’s better.

It's not crazy. Plenty of people do that because they believe the property will appreciate in value at a reasonable clip, they will get a huge depreciation tax benefit, and they will not have to deal with tenants or wear and tear.
