Fair enough, suspend and some other small things are probably better on other machines. But the issues with external monitors and DPI scaling are gonna be present for all hardware.
The port situation is just confusing for me. I'm getting a new Macbook Pro soon, and I have two 4k monitors. It seems like most docks don't support dual 4k monitors at 60hz, and there's weird and sometimes conflicting info online about what configurations actually work. For example, Apple's own USB-C <=> Thunderbolt 2 adapter will fit with my mini displayport cables but apparently won't actually work. Some things may also be dependent on which USB-C port is being used (the ones on the left have more bandwidth). I don't mind the move to USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3 I guess), I just wish the MBPs had at least 1 USB-A and maybe an HDMI port for a couple years while people start switching over
I'm not sure if it's as simple as lack of existential threats, but I'd agree that it is important to have a purpose in life, and a daily routine, and research backs this up.

It's also important to rule out any life stressors that could be causing the depression, such as an unrewarding/stressful job, or living somewhere that you don't want to be.
It is complete and utter horse shit they are trying to patent things invented decades ago.

This is so extremely anti-competitive. There cannot be goodwill and trust between people and corporations. There is no trust.
This is a paper coming out of Microsoft Research. Not a product. Think of it more like Google's papers on Spanner, Andromeda, etc., except it's probably not in production use within Microsoft.

Since we're discussing nothing short of the US government acting as an enemy to the citizens it is supposed to serve....

Your premise is incorrect. The "sort of" part of my statement is important. There are lots of forces at play that cause this. I see it as sort of an emergent phenomenon and not the design of some clever genius or powerful organization.
Tesla makes relatively few cars and has credit worries, I can definitely imagine suppliers not wanting to hand out big discounts.
> Hats are also mostly worn outside, but seem improper to wear while simply sitting at a desk or lazing on a couch.

There are many different types of hats. Baseball caps, berets, cowboy hats, beanies, ascot/flat caps, fedoras, boonies, Panama hats, etc. That's mostly just the traditionally male ones too.

Some work better indoors than others. I don't often wear hats anymore, but if I'm wearing a baseball cap type, I'll slide it around backwards when indoors most times.

If I'm lounging on my couch and don't feel Co for table exposing a portion of myself I'm sensitive about and it's not temporary, I've made a major mistake at some point.

What you're suggesting might be useful, but it would just be another type of hat.
Except Uber didn't start as a taxi replacement company. If you only remember it as a taxi company it was already after it had started to become successful.

It was initially a carpooling app. The original pitch was that regular drivers would just drive to their own intended location and have an ability to see people on route who wanted to go the same way. Much harder to pick that idea out as a future billion dollar company.
Google does not enforce patents. They are for protection so someone like MS does not get and use to get royalities. Heck MS gets more per Android phone for royalities than Google.

Could you imagine how much it would cost us if MS had the patents?
You want to treat any space hogging the same way you treat tail latency. Not as p50, but as p999.

So the question is not "how many people are inconvenienced on average?" but "how many people are inconvenienced during peak times?" If the second figure is non-insignificant, you have a problem.

Gamers and UX designers understand this. ANY latency peaks or waiting time hikes are detrimental.
Pulling in an unrelated git repo's objects in order to integrate that software with yours is an everyday occurrence. I suspect, lots of git repos have multiple root commits; some probably much more than just two.

I read it more that in the grand scheme of things, the only reason that those things exist to balance themselves--they don't create any value on their own.

If the other guy has no military, we need no military. If the other guy builds a bigger military, we build a bigger military.

If the other guy doesn't spend on marketing, we don't need to spend on marketing. If the other guy invests heavily in marketing, we need a bigger marketing push.

There's only ever a gain in the system if there's an imbalance. Looking at it simplistically, if everyone collectively decided to stop at once, there'd be no need for those things anymore.
> Seeing as the proponents -- of regulations regarding who can trade what with whom -- first cited issue is "Affordability", categorically, yes, these regulations are about making things "cheaper".

> How successful has the US government been at balancing trillion dollar bailouts for the banking/political class and endless wars of murder? Building a system where the minutia of liberty can be taken away with a stroke of a pen unless millions of dollars are spent lobbying the political class is not what I'd call a "great place to balance competing interests".

It's not very promising to start a conversation by ignoring the actual circumstances under discussion, so you can get on your hobby-horse to rail against your favored straw men.

So, as a helpful reminder, we're talking about a specific set of Japanese regulations meant to help people who are annoyed because they never chose to live next to a hotel room. We're not talking about hotel costs and we're certainly not talking about US bank bailouts.
Neural Networks Explored in Biomarker Development for Human Ageing
Ironically Microsoft has a non-standard API for higher performance networking for quite a while, AKA I/O Completion Ports. It's just they built it right by making it work with existing socket handles rather than fragmenting the platform with a new API.
Do you think it's an actually good language though? I only tinkered around with Tcl (long ago when writing eggdrop bots and more recently while messing around with FPGA and ASIC build scripts) and while it's serviceable it never struck me as a particularly interesting or elegant scripting language. When given the choice I'll always pick Python or Perl over Tcl. Am I wrong? What did I miss?
yeah, I'll agree here. Being able to slap an annotation on a method in C# is one of the major pluses. [Authorize] in ASP.NET MVC (Core as well I believe?), the various ones in Entity Framework, etc. Very useful.
That won't work, because the actual disk inside the sleeve will never be aligned the same way your copy is.

The protection is not the hole in the sleeve, it's the hole in the disk. For example, the garbage reads would happen on track 12, $230 bytes after the $D5 $AA $96 marker. Good luck physically reproducing this.

These protections are trivial to remove in code, though.
I.e. you already have not only a "whole new branch from master" but two of them: a remote tracking branch origin/master, and a local master related to it. You don't need a third one.
I think we have very different definitions of control.

To me, having control over when I leave is being able to walk out of the building at any time. Full autonomy. Having to petition some entity is the antithesis of control from my point of view.

Seems like the solution is to tax ridesharing rides, and use that to speed up light rail to Waikiki and run a more frequent shuttle bus service.

This ensures minimum levels of service for everyone, but if you want to rideshare on demand, you can!
These principles seem to have already been wholesomely applied to Google then Waymo's approach to self-driving cars. This is in stark contrast to the approaches used by competitors such as Uber and Tesla who appear to favor capturing market first and foremost.

It seems a narrow view to take to assume Google's only AI project with mortal human consequence is Maven, then using that narrow view to confirm your own negative bias about profit, perception, disingenuity.

What's wrong with Pathfinder that makes it not a "1st class citizen"?
It did reshape it. Turns out you can offload your costs to your 'employees' that hardly will organize and project costs and earnings to the future (like a competent business). I've talked with bunch of car sharing drivers who were bamboozled with car loans, get hit by traffic infractions, costs of maintenance and the list goes on and on. I feel that the gig economy preys on people who have not developed that risk management and are lured by the promise of easy money (make $500 this weekend). That can be verified by reading on what kind of game theory the big companies investing in (how to sweeten a deal, making people decide on the spot yes or no, etc). It's an interesting state, but I hope they turn it around. There is potential.
NPR covered this yesterday.

One note from that story was they missed 25M low-income workers.

Jennifer Curry, a senior director at Samaschool, a San Francisco training program for low-income contract workers, estimates the government left out 25 million to 30 million freelance or contract workers who do some part-time work.
I was just going to comment the same thing. A fairly polite comment to someone who’d added a new root commit to the kernel, acknowledging why that had seemed like a reasonable thing to do and proposing fixes to the people who could implement the fix. Seems ideal to me.

2 wks ago on one of the NPR shows these was an interview with one of the members of Congress, Dem from VA I think. He has something to do with the Russia hacking investigation.

In the middle of the interview he mentions the DoD budget and more or less says - as an active member of Congress can - we're wasting too much money on 20th century warfare and not enough on 21st century (cyber) capabilities.

General + POTUS Eisenhower is in heaven laughing, "I warned you. I told you so. You morons."
This is a good comment. It is interesting to consider how much rhetoric there is about robots and AI and Machine Learning and how these technologies can revolutionize work and lead to big productivity gains. And yet, in reality, the economy shows no sign of this. Productivity growth was very strong in the mid-20th century, but since 1973 productivity growth has been stagnant.
To be fair, when it comes to sockets, pretty much every OS' interface is identical, all taken from BSD.
The reduction in jobs in the gig economy has to be a direct result of the overall recovery of the economy. We are at a point where there are more jobs than workers to fill the jobs. Why would anyone take a crap gig job if they can get a steady paycheck? There are people that like the flexibility but the pay sux and no benefits for most of those jobs. The gig economy job is the new temp job. Just like temp jobs, they will start to increase as the economy cools. But for now, there's little incentive to get one over one with a steady paycheck.
Is that true, do most people like doing the same thing every day? It certainly is not true for me.

EDIT: A few repliers clarified that it's probably about the stable and reliable income, and not about the nature of the work that's done every day. I can agree with that!
Pretty much everything you just wrote is applicable to the Juicero hardware. Business model set entirely aside for a moment, its hardware is an example of what happens when some C-level decision makers let the engineering staff go wild with no real world constraints:

I think the problem is framing, or essentially what is a “chat bot”.

20 years ago “artificial intelligence” where taboo words for anyone hoping any funding. It would be called ‘expert system’ or ‘automated agent’ or whatever else that didn’t make people show you the door.

I think what you put as “chat bots” is having the same issue. The concept has been deployed at super large scale and people interact with bots everyday, it’s just not marketed as such.

Currently my phone company, my ISP, my health insurance company, the last airline customer support I had to deal with, they all process a crazy amount of interactions, and all the basic steps were clearly handled by a bot until I got escalated to a human. They are all real world huge scale applications, I don’t know by what other metrics they would be deemed as “failures”, and I don’t think they plateaued, I expect it’s still growing.

Fair enough. And I suppose Apple's attitude is more or less along the line that if you want to use our pristine machine as a Unix desktop/laptop managing the random packages you install is on you.

I almost wrote and didn't, but it's also true, that app stores (whether iOS or MacOS) are also effectively a form of application virtualization/package management.

Given how fast they were trying to ramp up production I wouldn't be surprised if they had to buy robots from multiple vendors becauase no single vendor was capable of building and installing the 2,000 robot arms he needed to hit that 5,000 car/week in 2 months target.
And yet for some reason I have to tell them my account number after I have already entered it on a keyboard. This frustrates me beyond belief as it says to me they have disparate software systems that don't talk to one another.
Geographic distribution is important. Many don't live, and don't want to live, in SV. I'm not quite sure why you are using SV as the gold standard, since there are many that want nothing to do with SV.
My thing is that we should be charging/taxing the companies producing these sorts of emissions. But of course capitalism is about socializing the costs (fixing these emissions) and privatizing the profits.

GP probably hasn't been to 80% of the nations in which taxis may be hired, but that would more charitably be considered extrapolation from experience rather than "imagination". If you haven't experienced poor taxi service, you might consider yourself lucky.
Yes. There is a reason why we don't have text based adventures anymore. Because we can have new ones with beautiful graphics and interfaces.

for some reason the new Google News app needs is a net new download/install of the app.

When they demo'd at GoogleIO I was pretty excited to try and then I went to look at my already installed google news app and it was still the same old one I'd been using for a while. Long story short, discovered it's a whole different app with the exact same name but updated icon.

The actual app is very very good though. I've been reading lots more news in the app. It's been about 3 weeks using daily and I'm starting to notice reinforcement of my common subjects & sources on the 'For You' page. I hope I start to notice more curve balls. It's great to the 'Headlines' page which I'm pretty sure is the same for everyone.
Well, about 10 years ago before iPhone appeared, was the mobile the next big thing? In hindsight of course. How did the data look like before iPhone? Check out the chart in this article https://www.recode.net/2017/6/26/15821652/iphone-apple-10-ye...

There's no data before a breakthrough. We should be wary of hypes but at the same time we shouldn't diminish pioneers.
In my experience, those keys are usually made of incredibly cheap metal.
I'm not overly concerned about getting the best rate. If I wanted to make the maximum possible I would stay in management and ride things out until retirement.

I have savings that I don't want to have to tap into so I can just let it grow for another 10 years or so. Really, I just need to make enough to cover my monthly expenses and have health insurance.

Also, I've managed development projects across multiple continents (US, Europe, Middle-East, and Asia), so I'm hoping that I have a pretty good understanding of what management needs to make them feel comfortable.

It's probably a little different for me because I'm not necessarily looking to advance my career the way someone earlier in their career might. Obviously, I want to do a good job and add value, but I could just as easily teach scuba diving or something.

I code because I like it. It also pays better than average. A good combo.

Point people to a stable repository that doesn't have non-fastforward changes. Do your history rewrites between your local development repo(s) and a "staging" repo that outsiders do not know about. Only push good changes from "staging" to the public repo. (By "good" I don't mean bug-free code written from an irreproachably perfect design, but simply changes that are not so bad that the best way to fix them is to steamroll their history and rework them entirely.)

You can give people access to the staging repo, but then they have to acknowledge that they are willing to deal with some occasional chaos.

Ah yes. Once again Apple is expecting a MASSIVE drop in sales.

It couldn’t be that Apple is switching to a different part.

Or getting them from another existing supplier for quality/price reasons.

Or they’ve simply added yet another supplier so the existing ones don’t need to make as many at the existing suppliers.

These reports are meaningless. Squabbling in the supplier-sphere or perhaps an attempt to short a stock.

I agree that they are moving, but they seem to be innovating without focusing on the user. It's like a bunch of enginerds working on cool projects that they are coming up with. Yeah they might be cool, but will people buy/use them?

Maybe it's still too early to tell, and all of these moonshot concepts will result in useable devices, but so far I feel like the device ecosystem and interoperability of devices just isn't at all at the level of apple or even google for that matter.

Yeah, this is the "trough of disillusionment" phase on the Gartner hype cycle. If anyone is looking at the exponential improvements in speech and text comprehension over the past years and unable to see that it will only get better from here, then it's not hard to imagine a future, where in 10 years chat bots are just as good as humans for any rote request.

Living in Canada, my perspective is a bit different. We have not observed the drop in life expectancy that the US has. But then again, let's keep things in perspective. Even after the drops, life expectancy in the US is higher than even early 2000s, let alone 60s or 70s:
