> the 10m one where the 10yo kids were jumping had no waves

I know many, many just-below-olympic level divers. Of those, one suffered "minor" injuries (deep bruising basically everywhere on their body and a burst ear drum) and one suffered major life-threatening internal injuries (collapsed lung) after landing on their belly/back from 10m.

The person with the less severe injuries flopped with the aerator on, which is probably the only reason the injuries weren't more serious.

Diving from 10m is absolutely dangerous, even for professionals, especially without an aerator.

> but I don't know how open the facilities in the US are to the public/minors.

In the USA, at the places I know of, untrained children are allowed to dive off of 10m platforms during "free swimming" times. But only straight dives, and only after they demonstrate straight dives off of 5m and 7m.

Which seems like a sensible compromise, given the risks.

(Exceptions are always possible. If you are training for platform diving, you can simply tell the life guard and they will let you do fancier dives from 10m.)

> giving 3.3 million inhabitants per tower, compared to 5.3 for the whole US

"conurbation vs. entire population" not a fair comparison -- a huge portion of the US population lives in rural areas that couldn't support a diving tower even if they wanted to.

All of the USA cities whose diving infrastructure I know about have between 1 million to 2 million inhabitants per tower. According to that metric, the USA is less risk averse about diving (but actually, it's really just a matter of wealth and interest, because diving is an expensive sport and platforms are actually specialized sports equipment).

Edit: Also, the wiki list of 10m platforms in the usa is out of date or just wrong. None of the 10m platforms I've used on a regular basis are on that list...
ha ha this keyboard was a conspiracy to upgrade. I'm kidding kind of but after using it it feels like they were just warming me up by letting me down.
I remember reading about a very successful female model's suicide few years ago - didn't know who she was and can't remember her name now. What I do remember was that she was quite successful materially and jumped from 20th floor (according to the news article).

But what hit me the most was her age - she was just 20 :(

Every person is different and we may never understand what bothers them, even if they appear successful and happy on the outside.
How? Uber is a current-year tech company. Like Google, there technically is a support line that technically exists, but just forget about it.

I called Uber 10 times, in Houston. Got scammed 5 times. Part of the "the driver just keeps driving and never acknowledges letting you out of the car" scam is that the app takes the same approach to "uh, I'm not in the car anymore" as it does to "uh, I would like to complain to Uber". (The way to say that the ride has ended is to cancel the trip, an operation that feels like you're trying to scam the driver, so an honest person will avoid doing that while searching for the nonexistent "the ride has ended" UI.)

4/5 scams: the driver goes past your position and then waits a mile down the road to pick you up. The moment the driver was near, Uber switches to "ok go get in the car" mode. It never switches out of it. If you cancel, rather than hike an unreasonable distance to catch the car that deliberately drove past you, then Uber charges you $5.
Beaker doesn't act as a server, it uses Dat, which is very similar to SSB and IPFS. https://datprotocol.com

Responding to GP, you probably mean https://github.com/cabal-club/, which is a WIP and relies on some new protocol features not in Beaker yet, but usable in the CLI as I understand it

I just double checked and you're right, the GC code is pretty small. The 0.49 MB run-time `Test.CoreLib` (http://mattwarren.org/2018/06/07/CoreRT-.NET-Runtime-for-AOT...) includes the GC as well.

Yup, agreed here.

I shared the sentiments that this post had. Then I got a XPS 15" and booted ElementaryOS on it and trying to deal with the resolution issues from the 4K display was just a huge headache.

Also, say what you will about the MBP, even though I paid $2k for my XPS, it still wasn't nearly as nice as the MBP's touchpad, etc. I would definitely still pay a premium for that MBP hardware.
Not true. There may be some that do, but not all - just know ahead of time before you walk into the store.
I'm also trying to understand the use for Unikernels, because I find them very interesting from a technology perspective. To me, Unikernels might make sense when running a high-performance application on bare metal. There's probably quite a bit of performance to be gained by running your application in ring 0 directly on a physical machine.

But once you add a hypervisor and a scheduler, you've essentially reinvented the OS. I struggle to see the point: just compile static executables and run them on Linux, natively installed on physical hardware, like we did 30 years ago. Deployment is just as easy (i.e. copy a file), performance should be comparable (calling into the kernel should be comparable to calling into the hypervisor), and the tooling is way more mature.
Spot on. I remember not long ago trying to replace my MBP with a linux box and asking/complaining about the HiDPI situation on linux on some forum. One the responses I received was no one needs HiDPI. Huh?

I'm hoping this is just a down period for Apple. They have had issues before and corrected them, so we'll see.

I can relate to most of these points. However, he lost me with the bloatware statement. It came off to me as 'Apple didnt design MACOS for my 1 very specific development use case so its bloated and useless'.

Completely disagree with this. None of these apps are tied to the OS in a similar way IE was linked to Windows, and just because you like Google apps to handle your utilities doesnt mean everyone else will. Some people do want iMovie, Photos or the productivity apps and dont want to share all of their personal data with google to use their suite. Ive never looked at an unused included utility by apple or microsoft and thought this is BLOATWARE!!!

The new macbook pro has plenty of flaws that you can avoid the above point and still make a compelling case. Ive skipped upgrading my 2014 model until I see the next version. I tried a buddy of mine's MBP and the trackpad is pretty bad and in the way of my hands.
I can't imagine. Internet bragging rights? Ugh. Forget it.

For instance, I was once asked by an employer to do something unethical, and refused. I ended up talking them into something ethical instead.

But I'm still not going to say what it was, even though we never did it. That'd just be dumb.

I had the same thought. I really like Numbers, I stoped using Evernote because it was bloated (I am using the simpler stock mac notes). I use Calendar, Reminders, Preview and Safari. Quick look is not an app, but is a great mac feature that you don't find elsewhere.

I think that the stock apple software is really good. It is simple without lacking usability. It is something that you can really use and, if you need something better or more customizable, you can get third party apps.

I feel like bloatware is something that is very bad and not usable.

Suicide is an extreme, profound, desperate, and undeniable act. It leaves a corpse, and corpses cannot readily be swept under rugs as with other vital statistics.

(Much the same holds for murder vs. other crime rates, though both may be influenced by trauma medicine advances. David Simon talks of this in The Audacity of Despair, on YouTube.)

For much this reason, suicide is seem as a definitive marker of individual, and social, dysfunction. It is the title and subject of Emil Durkheim's foundational work on sociology.

Anthony Bourdain was a global ambassador and a gifted writer who helped instill in me a love of travel. He will be missed.

He had a life envied by many and this goes to show that you never know what is going on in someone else's head. Today are more interconnected than ever, but the skin-deep interactions we have through our phones & the digital highlight reels we project can mask both mental health issues and a lack of true meaningful relationships.

The article mentions that he committed suicide while shooting Parts Unknown in France. This will affect many lives, not the least of which are all of the people working on the show. I hope CNN takes care of them financially.

A relevant but tangential point - Slate Star Codex just published an analysis that after controlling for guns, the US has one of the lowest suicide rates of the developed world[0]. That's not to say that mental health isn't the main issue, but rather that there are also practical policy steps that should be taken to limit the number of preventable suicides.

Well I was replying in the context of someone saying there is a meaningful difference to a gateway vs a node. If you access content via a gateway, your content is hosted by IPFS. The content gains all the benefits of IPFS, but you, the viewer, do not. However, if the IPFS Gateway works, ie it isn't throttling/blocked/etc, then you still get the content. I'm struggling to find a meaningful difference, is what I mean.

Now if everyone accessed the content via a gateway, then sure - that undermines the point of IPFS. But a gateway isn't inherently bad, nor is it worse in most respects than a local node - at least, to my understanding.
Hmm kind of a strange piece that's borderline misleading. It starts off with interesting points that are generally fixed usability issues (there's only one keyboard, only one trackpad, etc), but the "bloatware" section seems strangely out of place.

It's basically "I personally don't use these applications" ...and therefore that supports why the MBP is in decline? That's great that he uses Firefox but... who cares? I personally have given it up for Safari and Chrome. Ditto with the rest of the apps; I still use about half of those integrated apps (yet here, too, who cares?).
> ...all while we hated them

Who's "we"? The open-source advocate reviled Microsoft in their own clique but the vast majority of the software industry just quietly went on with their lives.
After my decade-long love affair with the MBP, i finally called it quits after the last "upgrade"

For me, peak-mac was the 2014 MBP with NVIDIA GPU and traditional keyboard.
Better mental health care will likely require what you call "mommy government" as well.

So I guess we will just have to deal with school shootings and suicides because certain americans have to stand by political ideals while the nation burns down around them, empiricism be damned.

> or you have to do a lot of careful dividing up the "static" resources from the dynamic

Static / dynamic is orthogonal to private / non-private. It's important to consider that what public or static information a user requests may be private for them.

Consider for instance, if I go to WebMD's page on e.g. Lupus. If the static, public image on the page were pulled in from a CDN, the fact I visited that page is now leaked to a third party, for which they could infer whatever they wanted to. Or maybe sell that on, so drug companies can hit me up with targeted ads.

But that's demonstrably false. Pre-Fed the economy went off a cliff several times, and came back. Look at the Panics of 1857, 1873, 1893, and 1907.

Now, I think I agree with your larger point, that without the Fed this would be much worse.

India (part of the British Empire) also sent millions who died fighting in North Africa.

The reasons every country got into the war were complex. But it is also largely true that America spilled blood and treasure out of a sense of obligation to fight Nazism, despite having a significant immigrant German population (who fought against their brethren on the other side), going so far as to impose a draft in the later stages of the war.
If you're writing it in Swift, you're probably doing native apps anyway. So there isn't much reason to not use the native things the platform provides.
I think the media tend to use "depression" as a general term to describe mental illness. The persons who committed suicide may suffer other forms of mental illnesses. There are a great number of different types of mental illnesses, like there are a great number of different types of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Instead of using accurate and specific diagnosis like lymphoma, we use a generic term "depression" in these cases. I think it shows both how little we understand the physiological basis of mental illnesses, and the lack of education in society in this regards.
For connectivity, device : cable : client is a simple solution.

Adding a dongle to the mix is something else you might not have with you. Its something else that can break. It adds to desktop clutter.

Honestly i can live without an sd card slot, but that was a nice differentiator for the laptop market. Its also arguably better than usb drives. Just tuck a disk in when you need it and dont worry about sticks hanging off the side of your laptop catching on things. Also many usb dongles are too wide, crowding other ports.

Dongles just dont simplify things and are counter to the older product design focused on simplicity and requiring users to manage less of their computing.

I use both windows and mac. Simplicity is on the decline in mac, but when you see the contrast in complexity your focus is better for a lot of tasks.

The dark side of this is over simplicity which gets in the way of more detailed tasks.

No downvotes, I enjoy different perspectives.
Honestly I'd be fine with that if they admitted it. I have way more respect for someone who says "I don't know" than someone who doesn't know but tries to pretend they do.

Chatbots proposed to solve a problem that current technology is bad at: understanding natural language. Very few experts claimed that algorithms could master the combinatorics of natural language beyond a few very narrow domains. On top of the technical risk, the voice and chat UX does not give a lot of visibility to users, as this post points out. What happened was: algorithmic advances in other areas lead to analogous reasoning by non-experts whose self-promotion aligned with the media's need for something new, big and understandable. And then it failed.

The irony, of course, is that research is making strides in NLU, it's just too late for the last wave of chatbots. Here are two recent papers from DeepMind:

I have noticed that, on two-lane non-divided roads, the dividing line (separating you from oncoming traffic) is yellow, while the right-side solid line is white. White means it's safe to cross the line, but yellow means it's dangerous to cross it.

You can see that yellow line at the accident site.

Now, why didn't they start a new yellow line where the lane split? That would give drivers (and software) an important cue: if you are driving down a "lane" with a yellow line on the right, something is seriously wrong!
It's not just the keyboard. The big-ass trackpad often mis-clicks. It gets worse with BTT, but the force-touch combined with the unavoidable size has been in my experience, a step back.

I've had to stop working using my laptop on my lap (yes I use a lap-pad/cooler) which I had found incredibly productive in previous years with former MBPs.
The canonical answers seem to be:

* Fog Creek

* Stack Overflow

* (sometimes) Microsoft (private offices, supposedly going away)

Basically anywhere that passes the Joel Test. In my experience, that seems to be accurate - with more emphasis needed on a quiet, low interruption environment.
Houses aren't "underused" in many cities on Earth, there's simply a huge price discrepancy between hotels and Airbnb/residential rent. My landlord kicked me out[1] simply saying he's going to use it as an Airbnb instead. Even if he only rented it a few days a week it would be far more profitable, it was rough personally but I don't blame the guy. Holiday season garners absurd amounts in that area and would make a months worth of rent in a matter of days.

I've worked for many startups.
1) I wrote redundant code for displaying the same information in a ASP master page project. Literally copying and pasting, made it very hard to organize.
2) I didn't take any interest in the full stack when the company needed a full stack developer. I only focused on front end when the back end needed help.
3) I broke the key off inside a rackmount server case accidentally and didn't tell anyone.
4) I built a rigid framework on top of Symphony, a polymorphic ORM and a slow lazy loading system that is hard to write code for and make updates to. I think this is why the company didn't sell.
5-10) I didn't finish the product for the startup and it sputtered.

The current tax cuts are a trivial part of the deficit problem (to note, I'm against the personal income tax cuts they passed). The US deficit was going to $1 trillion regardless of the tax cuts. The forecast for a deficit explosion due to entitlement costs, long predates the Trump tax cuts.

Half of those cuts reset. The primary item in the other half, the corporate income tax cuts, were a necessity to compete with the rest of the planet that has a more typical ~20% rate (including Europe, which has the lowest corporate income tax rates of any region).

The deficit is going to $1 trillion, the tax cuts are an average $50-$75 billion per year of that problem over the next ten years.

The tax cut is meaningless in that picture. It'll add at worst a trillion to the $30 trillion pile of public debt that will exist in 8-10 more years.
