Technically, that was because of battery life, not thickness. The limits on that particular Intel chipset are 16GB LPDDR3 or 32GB non-low power DDR4, and Apple chose to use the LPDDR3.

I have a basic 32GB DDR4 laptop* which was contemporary to the touchbar MBP, and while I'm very happy with the running battery life, the suspended battery life isn't as long as I would prefer (usually doesn't last 24 hours). I suspect that's because of the RAM. However, the MBP has a larger battery than mine, so I don't think it would have been that big of a problem.

Nintendo doesn’t think Labo has reached its full potential yet – The Verge
I don't remember where but I heard that just manufacturing a car cause more pollution than it's entire lifetime on the road. If Uber prevents people from buying cars then Uber may actually be environmentally friendly.
I suspect it is about pandering to his base as opposed to health of the nation - assuming it isn't just mindboggling economic illiteracy. He is noticeably promoting trade completely backwards. Normally advanced nations push for more complex, higher capital and infrastructure requirements, or later in the supply chain goods both because of externalities and comparative advantage - any third world nation can cut down trees and allow pollution in - meaning less profit. Instead he has been pushing steel and coal at the expense of finished goods like even kegs. Economically it is like trying to get rich by being a mercantalist colony - the ones that wound up usually lost over mistreatment and doing better after independence.

The US makes most profit via services but is still #2 in manufacturing via the advanced end and remained #1 for a while even during their rise. Given the sheer effort and scale involved by China and it cannibalizing world markets to so that is still very impressive. It brings to mind the US agricultural sector - it is at the top and it is still a tiny portion of the GDP. The top end strategy pays economically.
I don't use Uber, but I do like the idea. Hopefully, Lyft steals it.

I wonder if most blatant bs ICO projects are not just clever (pre-regulation) transfers of wealth from retail investors to management. Tron is the quintessential hype > value project, and now they are bolting on actual assets through buying stuff with their war chest.

They tariffed our "allies" because our "allies" allow China to setup shell corporations in their countries so China can abuse trade agreements to get around direct tariffs. In return they make billions for being willing to stab the US in the back.

We need to do this because China steals 300 billion dollars in IP from American corporations every year, in addition to illegally subsidizing their companies to steal global market share

Don't forget people running some kind of container environment on their VPS and wanting internet for their containers. With IPv4 you at least need masquerading with IPv6 you're exposing all your microservers at once unless you think about fiewalling.
That's just one of the main security issues with IPv6:

Also, if IPv6 was a simpler protocol it would be easier for the authors of security tools to implement support for it.

Is there any indication that Apple is taking these complaints to heart?

I suspect that the lack of updates may be indicative of Apple switching to an ARM based CPU for their laptops and desktop machine. If this is the case it probably wouldn't make sense for them to invest a lot in designing a new laptop around an Intel processor. It would also explain the delays since they would both need to get to grips with the hardware design AND provide a solution for running software compiled for x86 on ARM.

While they have done this before, the task is much bigger this time as there is considerably more software available for the Mac that would need to work on the new architecture.

Of course, this still raises questions. The first being how long it would take to stabilize the platform again. The second whether Apple will be sufficiently interested in the desktop/laptop market to deliver more consistent and meaningful product updates going forward.

If they are indeed going to ignore the desktop/laptop market the interesting question would be how this would affect the sales of their other products.

My guess is that if they manage to break up with developers, through inaction or otherwise, there is probably going to be a slow decline that nobody gets particularly worried about until it can't be compensated for with cheap sales tricks.

Consistent with the 'smart car' idea, where they manufacture cars with a low-environmental impact, yet the cars have poor gas mileage. To be a win, what you said would have to be true.

I've wondered about that for some time.
Is this basically the modern version of Apprentice? I spent a lot of time during tourney prep on Apprentice, it helped me figure out deck concepts really quickly and let me know what cards i needed to buy(as well as strategies to counter the most popular decks in the format). Apprentice was super basic, but the P2P gameplay really felt futuristic even on dial-up.

Part of the problem is the missions the Pentagon imagines itself in, versus the missions they wind up in. Dreaming of fighting a high-tech peer is one thing, but we've spent 15 years needing close air support for ground troops under fire from irregular infantry who are themselves in light vehicles or under minimal fortification (ie behind rocks or in regular buildings). And when your weapon for that is a single high-end bomb from a plane that costs tens of millions of dollars and is flying too fast to actually see the battlefield... well, that's a recipe for ineffective air support, collateral damage, and friendly fire deaths, not to mention some outrageous costs and a lot of air time on planes that cost a lot to maintain.

But another problem with American policy is a need to keep American casualties to a minimum, to the point of being the overriding directive.

So from a combat perspective, a good solution is light, low-cost planes that can fly from very rough airstrips close by, armed with a light cannon that can shred buildings, light armor, and other low-intensity cover, and fly slow enough to make in-the-moment decisions from visual inspection by a human pilot. But such a plane is a tempting target for inexpensive, widely available shoulder-fired missiles, or even old-fashioned flak. And then casualties go up. This isn't WWII anymore. America won't tolerate high casualty rates politically for problems that are not existential threats to our nation.

And a cheap low-tech plane solution also has to slot in somewhere between drones (expensive but effective), and the helicopter gunships that have had the mission since Vietnam.

So instead, we're going to keep using hammers to swat flies, because we might need hammers against Russia someday and we're rich anyhow.
ccTLDs are occasionally less reliable than gTLDs- The rules for running a gTLD are significantly more standardised. ccTLDs (Country Code TLDs) afford the parent nation much more control. This was largely a sop by ICANN to give countries a sense of sovereignty over their online identity.

There are lots of horror stories out there involving badly administered ccTLDs, as the quality of the body chosen to administer each individual one varies so much.

At any rate, ccTLDs are not run the same way as gTLDs, which is important to note.

I can think of half a dozen likely reasons. I'm not sure which one it is, or if all of them could alone be fatal to your idea.

- Such vehicles would not be street legal.
- They would not be safe for passengers.
- They would be unable to carry the necessary payloads.
- Most of the weight of a car is in the chassis anyway, not the body.

Edit: at any rate, Google did do something like what you described at an earlier stage of testing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnjuhBIhwc They seem to be past that point, though.
I don’t understand why human drivers are live testing with lethal metal vehicles, causing 3000 deaths per day globally[1]. Human drivers should be banned from the roadways until vehicles include the safety systems needed to prevent these needless deaths.

It is not necessary, but it is enabled by default. False?
A big problem is that the software engineers and algorithms engineers are pressed to deliver demonstrations in very short timescales.

This precludes the necessary conversations about test interfaces, for example, making the task of the simulation team closer to one of reverse-engineering than of simulator integration.

Definitely. I live in Atlantic Canada we're quite isolated from Canada plus geographically it's difficult to move between the provinces.

On top of that my province is an island, rural, small population, lots of isolated towns, farms and fishing towns. For an island of only 150,000 and 170km long I can easily spot dialects from other parts of the island.

Broadly speaking west is more French and east is more English. Add in Irish, Scottish, Dutch, Lebanese, First Nations and now more recently Chinese.

At least 50% of the population lives in the capital city region so the remaining rural areas are quite small in population and isolated. Cars have changed a lot of that but in the olden days horse and buggy meant a few days between towns, add more time in the winter.

We have the inhale yes sound which is fairly rare. I'm not sure what other unique terms or patterns are here but out isolation certainly has made this area of Canada unique language-wise.
We recently used it to troubleshoot a problem where 2-3% of TLS connections on a certain VIP were failing. Turns out a switch inside our cloud provider was zeroing out two bits. (TCP CRCs only protect against corruption on the wire, not corruption that happens _inside_ a device!)

There seems to be a lot of groupthink on HN. Pretty much every comment in this thread that views tariffs remotely positively is being downvoted. I view them slightly negatively, but protectionism (not necessarily tariffs) does help struggling or new industries develop if coupled with good export policies (see China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan for examples), so the idea that tariffs have no arguments for them seems a little farfetched to me.
Add it to the long list of shit taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for, except prison. Incarceration costs $70-120k/pp/year. Keeping someone in custody for 10-20 years vs paying to learn a trade seems no nsensical. But that’s what the voters and politicians want.

You can't get very much free / OSS software for your iPhone. You can't get around Apple's 30% cut on paid software.

At least subconsciously, I believe this thinking explains a lot.

Ask HN: How much can I sell my app for?
I have a pretty niche app that's making about $400k/year on iOS, and a big company has reached out to me and asked to acquire my app.

I've done almost zero work for the last year (only a few days to make it compatible with iPhone X and iOS 11) so that's pure profit. My keyword ranking is pretty good and I don't see the revenue dropping.

So my question is, how much should I ask for, and how much I should expect realistically?

Like, let's say I had a grammar check. But the grammar check was bad. It flags every other sentence as needing a grammar change, anything other than a very simple "subject-verb-object" sentence structure looks wrong to it. For every correct grammar problem it identifies, it finds 20 incorrect grammar problems.

As a result, I turn off the UI for the grammar check.

Then I write a document that has a grammar problem.

It seems stupid to say that this is either a failure of my use of the software, or a UI failure of the software. The problem is that the fucking software doesn't work, specifically that it fails in a way that makes it too "noisy" to use.

And sure, if my job is to catch grammar errors, then it's also my fault. I'm supposed to be backing up the system. But we also know that I won't be perfect and will have failures of attention sometimes. But regardless of that, the grammar checker just didn't work.

And, in this analogy, bad grammar kills people.

In a modern car, the chassis and body are one and the same (unibody construction). Some cars do use plastic panels for non-structural parts.

I would think another big reason though is that the handling and response of such a car would be very different from a real car. Stopping distances, acceleration, cornering, wind behavior, would all be different.

i cannot see how the US has no/fewer/lower tariffs than their trading partners. here are some numbers for US-EU trade: https://www.statista.com/statistics/547412/average-eu-and-us...

and here's an article arguing why there's no US-EU trade deficit, in German, though: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/handelsstreit-usa-eu-h...

what they argue for: sure, looking at goods, there's a deficit for the US. But once you take services and primary and secondary income into account, then the US actually cuts the better deal with the EU.

imv, trump/the current US gov are twisting the numbers to get a better deal.

Arguably, there is no actual difference in code. Configuration of the package file is the only thing they change. I'm guessing the primary motivation for the license change is that the business people want to keep a strong hold specifically on the Visual Studio trademarks. Which to me, just says they would've been better off giving VSCode a different name.

Just play enough clicker games until you realize that "progression for progression's sake" is nothing but an empty dopamine hit.

Games can be a fantastic story-telling medium, a competitive environment where you can test your skill and intellect against real human opponents, a lot of pure fun, or a way to spend time playing cooperatively with friends. All of these can be worthwhile activities in different ways.

Grinding mindlessly to make some numbers go up is not worthwhile at all. Playing a game just for the progression that you wouldn't play otherwise is a sign of addiction and can have a substantial negative impact on your life. I love games, but some self-awareness about what they are actually doing for you goes a long way to making them a part of a healthy, productive life rather than something that destroys it.
(OP) No, they're not senseless but they are barriers. They can be senseless and they can be designed to be obstacles, a disingenuous way of having obstacles without admitting it. The truth is in the specifics.

One advantage of tariffs is that they let you have product safety and environmental standards that were designed for consumer & environmwntal safety instead of an ulterior motives. The most obvious example is the entirely estranged European & American dairy regulations which started as a way of protecting consumers but are now a way of protecting industries.

My argument is that if you could just admit that an industry is being protected, and have tariffs then we could enjoy eachothers' cheeses (at a higher price). We'd also raise tax revenue and probably have better consumer safety regulations, since they wouldn't have to (disingenuously) make the case that the way cheese is made in Scotland or prosciutto is made in Italy is fundamentally unsafe.
