or the scissor design has been around since the 50s and nobody remember how to make the mold and the whole process, maybe there was a reason why they didnt have customers anymore...

My company is family owned, and when my granpa died, a lot of knowledge was lost, my dad is kind of dumb and sunk the company in debt and lost all the customers for years, when I joined, I worked hard for 10 years and now we are back as leaders on our community, but I invested heavily on machinery and studied a lot for new products and reborn old ones.

It happened several times that I was at the tooling warehouse with my dad and asked, what's this tool/machine for? and he didnt knew it, just to discover it some years later.

Yet, I can say that my company was founded on 1920 and I'm the fourth generation running (or ruining) it.

Good lord...
Americans really do think they own not only the world, but the language too, don’t they? I’m not arguing for the wisdom of insulting people, it’s just that it’s so arrogant to assume that one group in one country can declare a word belongs to them. A word that same group has spread as a part of popular culture through tv, music and so on through the rest of the world.

Just amazing. And this from a country full of people who can’t even pick out most other countries on a map, even the ones they’ve bombed. A country that apparently thinks some Palestinian, East Indian, Russian, Japanese, etc kid rapping along to a popular song is using “forbidden” words. I think Americans should worry less about their empty words, and more about their actions which the rest of the world judges them by.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think a lot of Americans are racist or not because of some words. I do think it’s a racist country because of their prison system, shooting and strangling unarmed black men, the systemic racial poverty, the Birther conspiracy, and who they go to war for and against. No amount of careful wording will change that.

I did a project using the first version of Azure Functions. It was early days with growing pains. I'll probably use Lambda on my next project. My general take is that serverless is a black box just like any computer - you need to figure out the rules of that black box and then accept those rules or tell the people who can open the box to fix something if it's broke.

I wouldn't have much confidence in that. I've heard that from 3 apple geniuses about the iphone 6 touch disease and about the safari browser bug (i forget which ios version) - both pretty obvious and well known issues.

It's pretty frustrating. Either apple just doesnt update their employees on issues or they just dont want to admit stuff until they have to (not implying it's malicious, but it certainly seems like it)
My work Macbook is 6 months old, and the delete key only works if you hit it with a certain pressure at a certain place.

I'm tempted to send it in, but the problem is that I sort of need it for work.

I don't think I will send it in, since it's not my personal laptop, and I just use an external keyboard at work because the Macbook keyboard is terrible anyway.

I'm sure that I'm not the only person in this position.
Ask HN: Would you migrate?
I am a developer. Married. Started my career in tech 3 year ago. Now living in a 3rd world country where the job market is really bad and while living here is cheap, getting a remote job from here is not so easy (timezone dilemma).

Currently I have two options. First option - I can move to India, work at a start up with a decent compensation and settle there. Second option - pursue a Masters degree in CS in Germany/US/Canada then find a job in tech and settle.

While I am sort of biased towards the second option because these are first world countries with better lifestyle/work opportunities. But there is a risk of investing time to go back to Academia (The reason for going back to academia is the difficulty to get a job with relocation facility). But I am scared of starting fresh. Is it worth it?

What would you do in my case? Asking for your opinion. I am really confused.

On a side note: I REALLY REALLY like working in tech. This is the single major reason for my choice of giving up my comfort zone. I am earning more than most of the people with similar experience but the prospects are very low for the future.

You wouldn't. Despite the article title, the point isn't whether there's a monopoly, but if they're using monopoly power in a prohibited way.
You'd think those people have seen enough of the "he seemed fine" trope on TV and elsewhere to avoid it. It's like, instead, they are tripping themselves to invoke it. "Hey, the camera is in my face, let me show off how versed I am in 'know your meme' material."

"I'm a total expert in predicting who might be about to do a thing like that! I've even followed a psychology blog or two. But this one, he had me stumped. He was a such nice guy! Always said hello, petted the dog and smiled at the kids."
You can still mess with them, however. On airplanes, claiming misidentification would be unwise. Also in retail, if you're epaying. But if it's just cash, and they've identified you through your phone or whatever, it's fair game to play.

I think it may be less "constraint" and more "fixed platform".

Meaning that every C64 was like very other C64, so you knew what you had to work with on the hardware side.

You could see this with consoles as well, as the games steadily improved as developers learned how to push that fixed hardware around (though the cartridge ones often allowed in-cart chips to assist).

I guess we have gotten so incredibly used to either being able upgrade piecemeal, or simply replace wholesale every few years, that having a steady set of hardware to explore and learn has become "foreign" in a way.

Compare and contrast the C64 and say the RPi. the former was more or less steady for 24 years, while the latter have been releasing beefier variants every 2 years or so.
I'm looking at your post history. At the point when you have posted 17 times in a thread with half of them being a literal copy of what the prosecution is charging him with, while by omission implying that the information there is somehow impartial, the fact of being a paid or unpaid shill is immaterial.

You are the only person in this thread pushing the government narrative and taking their words at face value.

Anyone who has kept track of these persecutions knows that unmentionable facts are thrown in constantly to try and get the defendants to break. Viz, Daniel Ellsberg being called a homosexual.

I agree that Descartes, Hume, and Kant were wrong. However, modern scientists are not influenced by them. Their own views are much closer to Pragmatism (which is not surprising given that two of the three founders of Pragmatism, namely Peirce and James, were professional scientists).

My favorite part of the suburbs is that my kids are physically incapable of walking or biking to an urban area. When they have grown to acquire the sense to look out for themselves, then they coincidentally will have the freedom (e.g. drivers license) to go to an urban place. Until then, I love that I can let them just go outside without supervision and dick around. American urbanity is just not for families.

I'm going to contradict my earlier comment and say that I agree with you.

At my old company, they made devs do 2 hours of support a week, that was frontline support, so we got all the bullshit queries.

It definitely helped resolve some common issues. For instance, we got a lot of support queries about people forgetting their password. There was a reset password option, but it wasn't large on the screen, so customers missed it.

I made a fix, so that if they got their password wrong, there was a nice big message with the forgot password link. We didn't have a single forgotten password query after that. It was a 10 minute fix.

There were a lot of other support queries that had easy fixes that didn't make it back to the devs.

Does Lambda have a good version control or CI workflow? My biggest question is how to develop severless functions with a team of developers.
I'm not quite sure if it works for blue and red or only certain color combinations, but it's possible to create images where an item in the scene is obviously one color, yet the light hitting the eye is another color. The brain automatically adjusts for "that's what a red object would look like in that environment," when the light coming from the photograph is actually blue.

In that way you can have a picture that's "blue red" due to perspective rather than semantics. E.g. the car in the picture is really red and the color of the ink depicting it is really blue. The red is blue.
"I have hard times to imagine their writers as a real scientists. Tyson, Greene, Carroll, Kaku, Rovelli..."

If you mean by "real scientist" that they are doing real work that advances the field, some of them are and, yes, some of them aren't. I don't mean that as a criticism, because there is real value in being a PR person for science. (Some danger if they do it poorly, but a lot of value, too.) Hawking, for instance, was certainly a real scientist by any measure, right up until his unfortunate passing, but also did good PR and wrote some very popular books. And not to pick on him, but according to his CV [1], Neil deGrasse Tyson hasn't published a paper in a decade, and if you skip three related papers in 2007-2008, hadn't published prior to that since 1998. Doesn't mean he's not doing useful stuff, or that he wasn't at least a scientist in the past, but he's certainly not on the same sort of track as Hawking was.

> As noted, I consider Reginald Hunter's opinion -- he thinks you, me, he, and everyone else should use the word a lot in order to remove / defuse its power.

For future reference, this is a stupid idea.

Certain words have derogatory "power" towards a group because there remains groups of real people who still possess possess real prejudice towards that group and want to dehumanize that group. Nobody cares if you call somebody a "Neanderthal" (extremely offensive, Neanderthals likely possessed an older and more refined culture than the hyperaggressive saipiens) but go to Japan and start talking about "Shina" or go to Germany and use "untermensch" and the fascists will come crawling out of the woodwork like ants drawn to sugar.

There is no reason to believe that using words a lot would remove their power. Instead, history as shown again and again (open a book for gods sakes), normalizing such language only empowers the fascist elements and silences the victims. Normalizing these words is a prelude to bloodshed precisely because they are the leading edge in a real campaign to dehumanize real people. There's a reason the German pre-war press often referred to the traitorous Jews, the Rwandan radio stations often referred to Tutsis as cockroaches and Trump refers to immigrants as animals and rapists. This isn't about "political correctness," this is about removing real people from society.

Yeah, i just pulled up a list of RPi variants to check and it has been releasing new generation Bs every 2 years or so.

In those years it has gone from a 700mhz single core ARM11, to a 1.4ghz quad core Cortex A53.

This is yet another strawman.

Only if 'strawman' means 'thing I disagree with'. The comment says such a dependence is bad and how you have to prepare for it with SLAs or whatever. This isn't universally true at all.

I doubt there would be replies.

A lot of really boring, trite things generate piles of replies. That's why they should be avoided.

Just because the point has been made before doesn't make it any less valid

The stated goal of the forum is not 'an exhaustive, if repetitive collection of generically valid things'. Remember that time you wanted to print something and the thing just wouldn't print? That's bad and annoying. It's valid that it's bad and annoying. We probably don't need to talk about it in the general sense every time it happens, though.

> For non-Black people, the word should not be spoken as there is almost no context in which it is appropriate or constructive (even when singing a song or reading a script)

Alright, I'll ask it: why? Or, perhaps a better question: how can you justify saying that there are situations in which it is constructive for a black person to say it but not for a white person? Is this not simply its own form of racism? As a word, I understand that it has cultural charge, but why should people's right to speak a word be derived simply from who they happened to be born to, an event completely outside of their control?
I’m worried that the fact they couldn’t succeed in spite of such an upwelling of support may have been contributory to Nick’s despair. :/

> “I suggest the actual reason is that the vast majority of people continue to tacitly agree that it maintain its power.”

It still seems you really are committed to this point of view, that the word has power only because people continue to agree to a social convention of assigning power to the word. But I think this still continues to miss the point.

It’s not at all about whether enough people choose to assign power to the word so as to force everyone at large to deal with it as a social issue. That’s a selfish way to look at it, like your free speech is your lawn and some punk kids drove their n-word social convention onto your lawn, and you’re yelling “get off my lawn” (as in, make this convention about this word go away). Thinking about it this way, the focus seems to be your freedom to say certain syllables without having to acknowledge any broader historical context about them.

But instead consider that the word, apart from any chosen modern social agenda, does represent a huge and unsolved systemic discrimination and repression towards black people. It does so because of its historical meaning, the contexts within which it has been primarily used, and the clear usage as a racial slur spoken predominantly by white America towards black America.

These are just the facts and context of the word, which we can look at and step back a second and say, well shit, a whole lot of those deviant racism problems are still going on today. And so maybe we ought to be sensitive and respectful and careful about its usage.

This isn’t a social convention to give the word power. It’s not just held up by some stereotypes of progressivism just itching for something to be offended by. It’s an encoding that is highly related to racism problems that are still severe and still on-going and so treating that word, among a variety of types of hateful slurs, with sensitivity is a lot more about acknowledging that than it is about enshrining some syllables with a progressive agenda status.

Overall, if this slightly limits your vocabulary or your ability to use it as a type of shock humor or something — well, that doesn’t seem that important by comparison. It’s not just some people agreeing “well word X is OK for crass humor, but word Y is off limits” ... rather it’s off limits because it commands a basic respect for certain on-going racist aspects of our reality.

Maybe one day long after our current systemic racism has stopped, future people will look back at racial slurs of this era as silly words whose context they don’t understand, and are free to joke about. Sort of how we could look at British insults of the Shakespearean era, or insults of the American Revolutionary War (“turncoats”, “lobsterbacks”), and not feel the intense political charge and visceral hatefulness they evoked at the time of their origination. To us they are silly words.

But that’s because the specific contextual meaning is not still going on, day to day, with visceral consequences for people in their daily lives. But for the racism contextualized by the n-word, it absolutely is still going on.
> 2012 MBPr had every part replaced at least once

Same here. First the display ghosting issue, then a couple logic board swaps for GPU issues. Then the I/O board for USB issues. The top case for a trackpad problem, and then when I swapped the battery they had to replace the bottom case as well. By the end I think it was all new parts aside from the SSD.

> I wish MacOS could still force to integrated GPU

I use the free gfxCardStatus app to accomplish this
I disagree. I 100% agree with and accept that racism is a huge problem, and that black people are definitely at a huge disadvantage in a number of areas. HOWEVER. I think that white people using it is fine as long as it's not serious, targeted harrasment. It's not a litmus test because it finds in me a false positive.
You could just give them real keyboards to use. Except macbooks don't have any usable ports these days...
It was also weird how J. Michael Straczynski, who was hailed as a visionary creator at the time on par with Gene Roddenberry, kind of disappeared. Yes, he has been involved in things like Netflix's Sense 8, but even that was mostly credited to the Wachowskis.
Unfortunately, the day and age of social media requires any accusations, joking or not, to be treated as real. How horrible would it be for an airline to allow the pilots to fly when someone suggested they may have been unfit to fly and the accusation was recorded with employees of the airline shown to be aware of the accusations. The lawsuits would be ridiculous.

Don’t joke around about things in the airport or on an airplane. Safety and security are generally number one in the minds of the front line employees. Turns out we like going home alive too.
The problem is that if you take the time and carefully consider all of your statements, and carefully lay them all out in a row in the right way, you will find you've got circularity hiding in them. I am confident in this statement because you are walking very well-covered ground, and lots of smart people have examined it all very closely. For instance, "change" intrinsically has a before and after element in it; you can't use it to define time. You can use it to define a measure of time (which is pretty much exactly how we in fact do it), but it isn't useful for defining time. But I do not say that is the only place circular definitions lie in your various posts here; it is only an example. It is very hard to discuss exactly what time is because the very words of our thoughts and in some sense the very temporal nature of our thoughts themselves continuously betray us. Being embedded in time is the ground state of our being and virtually an unperceived constant in our thinking, slipping in to our every concept and thought. It is very hard to extricate ourselves from that, if it is really possible at all.

It is all too easy for us to bury ourselves in so many words that we push the circularity of the argument behind so much obfuscation that we can no longer perceive the circularity, but it is still there. To truly define time, one must fundamentally start from some sort of perspective in which it does not exist, then show how it arises. This is not something you're going to pull off in English. It is soaked in time. You're going to have to use math or you are almost certainly just moving the obfuscation around. (And also deal with the question of what it means to "arise", though to some extent that's an artifact of English popping up again. There are mathematical ways of dealing with that.)

The question isn't "is before different than after?", nor is it anything about how much difference there is, or how it may relate to other differences. The question is "how is it that there is a before and after at all?", to which merely pointing out that there is a before and after isn't very helpful.
People don't make up rules for this. There's no committee that arbitrarily decides. It's an emergent social norm.
