Among my many hats, I do some official Apple work.

What you are talking about is not allowed for work done under Apple.

The top case is one part which cannot be disassembled so far as they are concerned. It contains the main part of the shell, the keyboard, the trackpad, and the battery. A failure in any part of it is to be serviced by a complete replacement of the top case.

It is not an exceptionally expensive component, but it is a significant amount of labor. The top case is pretty much the "base" that all other components are attached to. Which means you take everything else out (logic board, display, fans, vent, etc) and move it to the new one.

Also, the touch ID bit is a bitch to move.
Invisible work of equity in higher education computing and information science
I was defining time as the measurement of change. Change does not depend on measurement therefore there is no circular definition.

For example, a star is different from star light. When I look at the sky through a telescope I don't see a star,I see star light. Same can be said for any object as well,we see light emanating from an object therefore vision is perception of an object as measured by our optics.

Time is how me perceptually measure change. This distinguishment can potentially prove valuable much like how distinguishing perception of star light and the star itself is important(not so important for close objects but important at a grand scale.)

Modification,change and other words used to describe when something becomes different do not imply human measurement.

We can for example talk about a tree that fell in a forest with no human to measure that change. Did it happen? Yes. We can only say it didn't happen if we exclude all events beyond our perceptive ability from reality. In the same way,change does not depend on time but time is a measuremet of change.
I wonder if this contributed to the "Don't Litter" movement in American culture. It looks like a lot of people had no concern for the aftermath or the environment.

In hindsight it seems people didn't think about the future as much... maybe this changed that.
> The relationship between the Gentry and Elite is one of open rivalry, and that between the Gentry and Labor is one of distrust. What about Labor and the Elite? That one is not symmetric. The Elite exploit and despise Labor as a class comprised mostly of “useful idiots”. How does Labor see the Elite? They don’t. The Elite has managed to convince Labor that the Gentry (who are open about their cultural elitism, while the Elite hides its social and economic elitism) is the actual “liberal elite” responsible for Labor’s misery over the past 30 years. In effect, the Elite has constructed an “infinity pool” where the Elite appears to be a hyper-successful extension of Labor, lumping these two disparate ladders into an “us” and placing the Gentry and Underclass into “them”.

This is the most interesting piece for me; the idea that there are several social classes, with distinct values and their own internal tiers, is not exactly a new thought, so let's proceed with the idea that everyone is on a ladder, and everyone struggles towards the top of their ladder--occasionally jumping between ladders, but not very often. Given that view of life, this is a nice synopsis of how, even in a democracy, the privileges of ownership and control of such things as media networks and financial institutions allows the elite to stabilize the class structure at the top by obscuring the true distribution of wealth and playing the cultural/educational differences of the lower classes off of one-another to create strife and political inaction.

I think the question it poses to us now is if some of these new technologies we're creating--global financial systems that allow instant transfer of cash, social networks that both connect and isolate, personalized content which fulfills marketable desires but also beguiles rational thought--are these tools of the creative class, and infrastructure which will raise up the labor class? Or rather tools of the elite? And the challenge to us is to create tools which provide the same freedoms and low transactional costs, but are very hard to be used as a corruptive force.

> I think it's total BS to think that "users don't have an expectation of privacy" when a company offers a service to hold and process their data

I sometimes wonder if companies put exactly this wording into their privacy policies if it would make a difference legally. Right now they put all kinds of other verbiage which allows law enforcement to argue around it. But what if companies simply wrote into their privacy policy:

By storing your data with us you can reasonably expect that your data will be kept private from access by any other person

Now how can law enforcement argue that someone accessing the service didn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy?

Of course, a company's lawyers might say that this is something they can't actually deliver given the government can demand to access their information. But it's exactly in this way that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy: it is exactly by giving this guarantee to their users that they create the legal argument they need to be able to deliver it. And it is exactly by not giving this guarantee to their users that they deprive themselves of the legal power to achieve it.

> as far as the n-word and c-word, why not consider the opinion of black people and women in this argument?

Not really an argument, and as noted above I already do - but find it tricky as it's a moving target (not just those two words, but the greater field of word choice), and it's not as though there's a regular 'all hands' meeting for black people, women, Irish, Asians, short people, people who like coriander, etc where they decide collectively what the official position will be for their demographic.

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.

Living in Australia there's a bunch of generally harmless words that are evidently quite powerful in the US. Always amusing to hear stories from friends travelling through the US who get hateful looks for using pussy, fanny, arse, and of course the c word, in casual conversation. But we (I speak for all Australians, naturally) don't think you (everyone else on the planet) needs to track our cultural foibles.

You found the loophole! Sad to see you abandoned so swiftly your own logic when the time came to evaluate your own statement. This is exactly why the metaphysical deals in the realm of ambiguity: once you define it in a clear and concise manner all the mystery disappears, and that to some, is no fun.

That is also why a question like “is there life after death?” is uninteresting: by definition life comes before death.

As a longtime MBP user who just bought a Dell XPS 15, it’s the little things I miss. File previews in finder. The seamless trackpad experience without having to write a conf file to modify an open source driver. I don’t exactly miss the UI, but I do miss the consistency of it. After scaling for the 4k hidpi display, I’ve had to recalibrate a lot of microscopically tiny UI elements and a few giant ones.

The developer edition laptops aren’t sold in a 15 inch version, which is why I opted to tolerate the Windows factory install. However like other XPS 15 owners, I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to resolve conflicts between Ubuntu and the NVIDIA gpu, which doesn’t seem to be compatible with Canonical’s open source “nouveau” drivers which I think might be enabled by default on 18.04. If you don’t mind the 13 inch display, the developer model might be worth considering in light of the trouble I’ve had trying to seamlessly dual-boot.
The great thing about the C64 is that it never changes. It's the same hardware as it was last year, and it'll be the same hardware next year. Modern systems have plenty of unreasonable constraints, but the foundations are always shifting. How many cool web hacks from 5 or 10 years ago will run unmodified on a modern web browser?

No-borders only makes sense with anarchy or with global government. If there is more than one government in the world, they will have their own jurisdictions. Borders are the lines people use to separate jurisdictions in physical space (there are abstract separations as well).

The border between the US and Mexico exists because the US and Mexico have different laws (including taxation and benefits). The border is where the US and Mexico have negotiated that one's rules stop holding and the other's rules start holding.
It's funny because as much as you recognize this, the people you describe as being needed are treated terribly not only by the establishment but those who think they are outside of it. Perhaps that explains this state.

The crisis in physics is due to Kant. As long as physicists are disdainful of philosophy the crisis and deterioration will continue. They are Kantians and don't even know it.

Ayn Rand identified Kant's error in his Critique of Pure Reason and destroyed his program, she rejected Hume's rank skepticism (which Kant was answering) and showed Descartes how to validate reason (i.e. to be certain) without being omniscient. Descartes was the intellectual who started this ball rolling by turning reason unto itself and asking how does it work. He was not up to the task and injected a crude circularity at the base of reason, i.e. "I think therefore I am", which Rand identified and fixed but she is now completely ignored.
DynamoDB is as serverless as Lambda. (There are servers somewhere for both, but in neither case do you operate them.)
Not that far, and shrinking fast, depends on who and where you are in China, just like the US. Trump is fixing the air quality issue[1]. China has excellent high speed trains and very innovative and modern shopping malls and housing estates. Google around. Chinese primary and secondary schools are way better than American high schools. Chinese attend international universities to gain experience and network opportunities. They are not here to because here is better.

On the topic of UI libraries, I've used and enjoyed Element UI[0].

Someone really needs to make a search engine for components -- React, Vue, Mithril and a few other frameworks out there are making it so easy to build and share small isolated pieces of functionality but I still don't know of a site where I can easily search for components.

Easy. Change is when equivalence of state information is broken. It is "detected" by everything around it. If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear it, it absolutely does happen, because it's in a forest.
Actually Chinese manufacturers have come a long way. They initially did produce crappy stuff, however they are now producing quality stuff. A similar progression happened with Japan and Taiwan.
Thanks for your insights.

In response to:

> The N word continues to have power in the US because black Americans continue to be second class citizens in their own country.

I'd say a) for those of us not in the US we notice that the 'power' of the word infiltrates the rest of the word, and b) that's not the reason.

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

As noted above, I'm an outsider looking in, and I'm sure there's a lot of history and nuances that I'm oblivious to.
Do I understand that all those atrocities happened? For sure. It is an horrible thing and it should be recognized as such.

What I don't get is the way this is dealt with. Forbidding a set of words don't really makes sense to me. Don't get me wrong, I still think it would be extremmely insensitive to use those words as it would be to use any other insult.

What I really don't get is the crazy different treatment those words get. It seems that even if you would be the least racist person in the world, if you mistakenly used one of those words (for example you tried to do a failed joke as Bill Maher did [1]), you will immediately be fired//terminated etc etc, even though everyone knows you are not racist at all. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
One can recognize that the treatment of Black people in this country (in the past and today) is definitely horrible, and also think that this whole forbidden word touchiness doesn't make sense.

> Does racism still exist? Sure, but not for black people more so than any other race.

Black people in the US make a third less income on average than white people. If this is not the result of racism (either ongoing or the lasting effects of past racism), then please tell me what causes that difference.
>I mean, it's possible to fake, but it would be incredibly easy to fuck that up, and incredibly risky to get caught doing that.

Maybe, but how hard would it be to convince a tech-illiterate jury of that? Is there a lawyer on earth that could explain the minutiae of metadata on virtual machines to one? And if they get caught, they go "oops!" and pay out a few million dollars as a sorry, at best.
Yup, constraint = hack/freedom is one of the paradoxes as long as there are hidden degrees of freedom that can break the constraints.

Here’s some old c64 intros I did, including a trick of bank switching to fake z ordering of fonts and sprite scs rasters, as well as using FLD to stabilize rasters in the presence of moving sprites in both PAL/NTSC modes.

... and the original sin of the Bible. One must always be ready to bend the knee to whatever orator can conjure it.

The entire topic is the age-old setup of distracting the the plebs by pitting them against each other. All "White people" didn't enslave Black people - the ruling class did, and got the less powerful in on the take to backstop it. Once that specific oppressive system became untenable, they just moved onto the next one.

People will cheer the takedown of this "powerful" guy, while they've just ruined the unlucky slob of the week. Their need for progress will have been fulfilled, keeping the ongoing lucrative oppressions safely out of their sights.

That really stinks. I am curious, do you see as cultural restrictions on the N-word as a way to make a sort of verbal "black space?" Do you think it is appropriate to counter white spaces by making black spaces or do you think it is better to tear down all race-based spaces?
Seeing as this subthread has already derailed into a discussion of expression, I'll take this opportunity to express my disrespect for the new trend of using the word "disrespect" as a verb.
The interesting thing is that in Haskell, the equivalents of Python's `A(B,C)` and `A(B)(C)` are identical: `a b c`. This is because of currying: you're allowed to supply one argument to a function at a time, and you get back a function that takes one fewer argument. So if `add(x,y) = x + y`, then `add(5)` is a function (let's call it add5) so that `add5(y) = 5 + y`, or in Haskelly notation, if `add x y = x + y` then `(add 5) y = 5 + y`. If you write `add (x,y)` in Haskell, then it means a function that takes a single tuple `(x,y)` as an argument.

A(B(C)) would be `a (b c)` or `a $ b c` or `(a . b) c`. The first is the most vanilla way, the second is convenience (basically "evaluate everything after $ first, then plug it in") and the third uses the function composition operator `.`.
The number of options here is small enough (three) you should memorize it.

Subtract the start and stop. If the start and stop are both excluded, subtract 1. If one of them is included, make no change. If both are included, add 1.

Excluded start and stops happen when you have external boundaries. Like, your last day on the old project was the 10th, and your first day on the new one is the 15th. You had no project for 15-10-1=4 days.

One included happens when you're measuring between numbers. If you start working at 2 and finish at 8, you worked 8-2=6 hours.

Double inclusion counts when you have internal boundaries, or are counting how many things are "touched". If you work on something from the 11th to the 15th, you worked on it 15-11+1=5 days. (Also, your example.)

Stop position - start position + (number of included positions - 2) = total
Yes, it does.

Reasonably? Yes. Favorably? I sure won't.

Why is sentiment irrational? I want to eat genetically unmodified pig/plants like my ancestors did. And you know what? If I had enough money I can do that. So the poor and those oblivious to the risks of consuming food modified by humans as an experiment at the genetic level become live experiments. Might be centuries before we know of any unintended consequences?

Why am I irrational to observe living things have an order to how they reproduce and mutate? When change to the order is made not at a macro level but directly at the very foundation of the living thing then isn't it wise to wait a very long time and observe the consequence?

Why the rush? The world already throws away more than enough food to feed the hungry,it's not a supply issue. If beef and grazing animal consumption is eliminated things become much more pleasant.

Why is this debate always seen through a lense of science vs ignorant pseudoscience point?

> Without parents they'd all look like "A B C"

No, that would just be a(b,c). You would use parentheses to express the others. a(b(c)) would be a (b c). a(b)(c) would be (a b) c. IMO it's still perfectly readable, you just have to know it and get used to it (which, granted, can be difficult if you're only used to paren-ized languages, but not an impossible ask, certainly not, imo, a deal-breaker).
which makes sense. Because it's incredibly stupid.

His use was descriptive, and descriptive use of the word is not how it was used in the past. Sure, maybe some people get offended - let them be. American society has a victimhood complex and we should stop playing into it - it only encourages it.

We're not in preschool anymore. If someone descriptively saying a word offends you so much, you need to grow up.

"a question like "is there life after death?" is uninteresting: by definition life comes before death."

You're not being charitable to the questioner by interpreting it as a paradox.

Clearly, what most people intend to ask by that question is whether one can exist in some form (as a "spirit" or as "soul", or maybe come out of the VR that is the world, or in heaven even in a body like the present one or a more perfect one, or in hell, or maybe reincarnated in as another lifeform, etc) after your physical body stops functioning. There is no paradox in that.

The most efficient number system is ternary. If you go for balanced ternary you also get addition and subtraction for free, and multiplication is not much worse than for binary.
