"Just because everyone has an equal share doesn't mean the CEO needs to build consensus."

If they other co-founders own more than 50% of the equity that's a very legit thing and they can call a board meeting instantly and make mega changes including getting rid of the CEO.

Moreover - in the early stages among founders there has to be at least basic consensus or you're dead. Otherwise there is literally no team.

The CEO should be given more leeway, but it's not always so clear either. There's a reason the others are 'co-founders' and not 'first employees'.

A design problem can push tolerances to the point where it fails in a small percentage of cases (environments with rougher handling, temperature, or humidity).

If the problem affected a large percentage, it likely would have been caught and fixed before release, which is cheaper than burning labor, parts, and PR in a recall.

Let lenders vary interest rates by institution and major. Also, give lenders a choice: (a) loans dischargeable in court like any debt or (b) non-dischargeable loans where total payments in a calendar year are capped as a fraction of AGI.

This combination incentivises lenders to communicate employment and wage information from the labor market to students deciding where to go for school and what to study.
Yeah, and who you should vote for to get it done? Sorry to remind it, but US had 8 years of democratic president (and mostly democratic congress) and student debt exploded in size during the same time period. So, millenials voting for Obama were wrong? Who they should have voted instead?
The problem is that you’re getting dust, food etc. behind the keys.

The solution is to use a keyboard cover. It also helps with noise as well.
A lot of people say that 2017 keyboards perform better. Had no issues with mine so far and really like it.
I don't know if it's true or not, but based on a little thinking about availability bias and publication bias suggest it's plausible.

No one is likely to write about "targets hit exactly as planned, no collateral damage" and even if they do as a puff piece for the military we're unlikely to remember that.

In contrast, every single mistargeting is plausibly worldwide news and our brains are wired to remember such things.

To be clear, I don't have any hard data either way. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's true given the asymmetry of typical cognitive bias in evaluating such a claim. The folk version of this is that you "only ever hear about the CIA's mistakes and not of their successes".
What evidence?

None of your links contain any "evidence".

Evidence shouldn't be difficult to explain. Loosely connected assumptions, however, are often difficult to articulate.

The argument you propose is that practically anyone who exposes corruption in western organizations could be Russian government propagandists.
There are plenty of clients that can use OTR and other e2e protocols on top of IRC.
I clarified the context because you decided to declare what the context was. Perhaps you’ve forgotten that. The advice about pretending to be the judge of the context seems like something you might have wanted to consider for yourself.

If you’re replying to the comment I quoted, then my points clearly stand. Language is not the limit of anyone’s world unless they decide to limit themselves that way.
Methane contains just as much carbon as carbon dioxide does. (By volume; by weight it would be a lot more.)
I think full deregulation of healthcare would be superior to universal healthcare. But universal health care is clearly superior to American style almost fascistic corporate/government rent seeking.
"There was always a dark side to the Human Potential Movement. If a positive attitude and a sense of self-worth are what matters for success, then failure is always your own fault."

I always thought my alma mater, Stanford, was backwards about students suffering from depression for exactly that reason. Promoting positivity is great, unless it means ostracizing and shaming people who are already suffering. It was hard to be there because the highest ideals were positivity and productivity, and if you're depressed you're neither.

As I get older I realize more and more what a complex organism a human society is. If you change one factor, you can easily change other ones without meaning to.
At least the quality program is an acknowledgement of an issue (which is like getting blood from a stone when it comes to Apple), and gives you 'protection' if you have this issue outside of warranty.

Honolulu is proving incredibly incompetent at building a single rail line as well.

Which is weird, since this kind of nuts-and-bolts stuff was supposed to be Tim Cook’s wheelhouse. The whole argument for him becoming CEO was that he might not have Steve Jobs’ product genius, but you could at least be sure the trains would run on time.

They don't.

The 2017 keyboards feel and sound better, but are no more reliable. I've owned two 2017 MBPs and both keyboards have had issues.
I often miss “make”. I suspect if there were no such thing as MS WIndows, we would all (still) be using make, rather than each language having a handful of competing build tools.

Code generation used to be trivial, as well, rather than having to write “plugins” in XML build tool N.
I do not know the solution but the current system already just lines the pockets of the academic-industrial complex, education costs keep rising at rates that are similar to healthcare in the USA.

That doesn't sound unreasonable on the face of it, to be honest.
Don't count on it being actually solved. Even today, screen replacements because of the much older coating issue will eventually have the same problem again.
It doesn't really change the quality of the comment. There is nothing inherently and outright wrong with such a dependence, whether it causes an outage in prod or not. In some cases it matters (maybe you're making a nuclear reactor) in many, it's a completely sensible tradeoff. Reflexively saying 'zomg you depend on something else and this is bad' every single time something is affected by a problem in another thing is 100% uninteresting. Including or not including 'in prod' or 'in bed' doesn't make it any more interesting or clever. It's just lazy grousing.
Before scrambling to gather a handful of news articles (though no proof) which confirm 'option C' to avoid down votes, are you certain that you are not regurgitating the propaganda of a different government or corporation?

These struggles sound much harder than what I've had to deal with; please accept my sympathy.

About the student debt: That's a lot of debt. I suspect you and many other millenials were lied to when you were told that getting that much student debt is normal and necessary, when it is in fact neither. For example it takes longer to graduate when the student alternates semesters of school and work, but it does get them through (especially if the school has a strong co-op program), without nearly as severe a crushing debt load. Second, the overall benefit of an education goes way beyond the differences between schools, i.e. for many careers an inexpensive school is just as good as an expensive one. (Counterpoint: if you want to be on the Supreme Court someday, you apparently have to go to Harvard Law School...)

I confess that I'm puzzled when I hear about such high debt numbers from new grads, and the main explanation I can think of for what's different now from when I came up is that people are systematically being told that any college debt is a good investment (and loans are freely granted on that basis), when it plainly is not (and they should not be).

By that logic no product would ever have a mass recall, but they do, just as this one does.

Houses near metros should be more expensive. It's higher quality living. That's the point. I fail to see a problem with that. But it would also make commutes easier for everyone, rich and poor, just by building it. Bus routes, etc all point to metro.

Build more public transit would bring those costs down, though. Which was the idea.

And some of the stations on the silver line are most certainly not rich. Some are, yes. Others, no.
> Seems most of us here already found the answer: learn something about the fastest growing sector of the economy and participate in the future instead of lamenting the present.

That's so callous. Would you say the same if computers had turned out a dud, a fringe curiosity nothing more? If the fastest growing sector of the economy had instead turned out to be MMA cage fighting? Or perhaps you're physically inclined; imagine whatever it is you would be vigourously annoyed doing. Cobra wrestling. No-chute skydiving with plane re-entry.

I really wonder about those parallel universes. About what the parallel you would have said, there, to the elite in their cobra wrestling ivory tower, lamenting those lazy plebs. They should just man up and start hitting the serpentine goldmine!

Or was it, like, a reverse psychology point, where precisely by explicitly pointing out the absurdity of the only solution, you realise just how untenable our current predicament is?
If the design is as flawed as it seems it is just matter of time before a much bigger percentage fails..
You can’t make statements about quality without having statistics. Otherwise it’s just meaningless anecdotes.

The problem here is that it is an awful keyboard design that should’ve been discovered before they shipped it. But I wouldn’t consider the MacBooks poor quality.
Not sure if that's a testament to innovation, or to the American tendency to throw things away.

American engines of the same vintage probably would have been used if they were available for a similar price.
> The internet has been inundated with the "average" people who unfortunately are not interested in "aplications" like mIRC/irssi/bitchX.

You know, I have a hard time blaming "average" people for not wanting to use bitchX. That's a pretty huge unforced error in terms of marketing.
Can't anyone be charged with anything? Convictions matter, not charges which could easily be tossed out once they are in front of a judge.

Reason.com's article here links to some illinoispolicy.org[1] as the 'original source', and illinoispolicy.org does not provide any citations. The rest of the articles on that site lead me to believe that they are fearmongering and not reporting.

If you break backwards compatibility? Maybe to an extent. How do you handle clients that don't support it? How do you secure channels and allow some of the current server op/admin (what freenoders call staffer) functionality? By the time you consider that and more you might as well make a new protocol.

Let's say someone with an older irc client or who doesn't want e2e messages you,what then? Now your irc conversations become opportunistically secure. That means only arbitrary conversations are secure. Email does this and it sucks.

Another problem,clients that don't have e2e almost always also store logs in plain text. Yet another problem - no protocol level e2e plans as of yet.

So why try to fix it? This approach does not work. The least we can do is learn from history. Unlike email or ftp, there aren't a whole lot of people that depend on irc being the current irc protocol. What people want is a distributed server architecture with a user interface that is similar to the current irc. What protocol engineers seem to get wrong is that they use the opportunity to also add other fancy features which simply ends up working against adoption.

> Absolutely madness and probably makes at least 80% of the phone’s functionality completely undiscoverable and inaccessible unless you already know it is there.

Well, that can't be strictly true, since no one is born knowing these things, yet people do learn about them. I don't think it's crazy to expect people to desire to read a quick guide or watch a quick video about UI paradigms/tricks/shortcuts for what is likely to be one of the most complex and most frequently used electronic devices in their lives.

I do agree that 3d touch is a bad idea, because there's no pattern to learn other than very specific per-application places it can be used. If there was some visible UI hint that an element was 3d touchable, perhaps I would be more of a fan.

As for the double-click and triple-click stuff, I can't really think of that many examples on iPhone. I believe triple-clicking a physical button can be used to enable accessibility features? I think it's pretty acceptable to have accessibility features that drastically transform the phone's user experience fairly hidden, as long as they're well documented for the people who need them.

On this particular issue at hand, Apple is relatively quite careful and has been for a number of years. If you present a device with an issue, they will service and cover it for free for at least two years. Apple's interpretation of Australian consumer law was pretty straightforward.
Thanks for that interview link. Note that it was almost 30 years after publication.

I suppose a critique of "not sufficiently prescient" is supported by it, but "known at the time of publication that it got the IT wrong", which is what I think the GP was saying, isn't.
He started measuring success in dollars saved and stock price increased, instead of customer satisfaction and tech cool.

Mr. Jobs famously said that Apple will do it's own thing, and the stock holders can come along for the ride, or get out. Mr. Cook's attitude seems to be more akin to a traditional industrial-era CEO, and not someone trying to further technology, the way his predecessor did.

I researched your claim. For the Sony hack, no actual evidence was ever provided implicating North Korea - just unsupported allegations. [Independent researchers](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/dec/30/sony-hack-resea...) found it was much more likely to have been disgruntled employees.

However, for the Vault 7 leak, almost no major news organizations cited Russia as a likely culprit for this.

I agree with your sentiment that basically any official information that comes out of the IC is suspect, but in this case, unless you can cite specific examples, I'm pretty sure the IC never publicly blamed Russia.
> The selectivity of Wikileaks' leaks put the lie to their claim of being a journalistic entity.

It really doesn't, though. You don't have to be unbiased to be a journalist, a journalistic entity, or whatever you want to call it.

Fox News, biased as it is, is still news.

Scott Aaronson's response to Lubos Motl's skepticism is informative:

"My position is an incredibly simple one: just like with the link between smoking and cancer, or the lack of a link between vaccines and autism, or any other issue where I lack the expertise to evaluate the evidence myself, I’ll go with what certainly looks like an overwhelming consensus among the scientists who’ve studied the matter carefully. Period. If the climate skeptics want to win me over, then the way for them to do so is straightforward: they should ignore me, and try instead to win over the academic climatology community, majorities of chemists and physicists, Nobel laureates, the IPCC, National Academies of Science, etc. with superior research and arguments.

"To this, the skeptics might respond: but of course we can’t win over the mainstream scientific community, since they’re all in the grip of an evil left-wing conspiracy or delusion! Now, that response is precisely where “the buck stops” for me, and further discussion becomes useless. If I’m asked which of the following two groups is more likely to be in the grip of a delusion — (a) Senate Republicans, Freeman Dyson, and a certain excitable string-theory blogger, or (b) virtually every single expert in the relevant fields, and virtually every other chemist and physicist who I’ve ever respected or heard of — well then, it comes down to a judgment call, but I’m 100% comfortable with my judgment."

Some notes. 'eavesdropping' means listening in on a conversation without participating, and without consent of the participants.
That was not the case here, this case involved recording a conversation which the boy participated in.

Depending on local law it may be allowed to record your conversations without the other party's consent for personal use, as long as you don't reveal the recording to other parties.
So the simple act of recording itself might be legal.
