You need to read the 2nd book of the "Three Body Problem" trilogy ("The Dark Forest"). It will explain and improve most ideas found in the 1st book and, when it explains the whole "Dark Forest" concept I guarantee that you'll be amazed (don't research the concept before reading the book).

I also didn't like the 1st part very much but I was blown apart after reading the 2nd. The third was not as good, so at least read the 2nd one
Well, I expect this is the beginning of the end for macOS. iOS and macOS have been converging for a long time. First Photoshop runs on iOS, then Apple makes larger and larger "i" devices until there's one with a 27" screen that sits on your desk, then there's no reason for macOS. At that point everything happens inside one of Apple's sanctioned App Store apps.
Why are they trying to tank it? Short term profit or some conspiracy theory?
But voters at a town hall on live television will rightly reply that anyone who wants to live in NYC is free to go there, and anyone who feels victimized by the situation in the Bay Area is free to leave.
I was curious about Charlotte as well, best I could find:

-----

The streets of most newer American cities follow very clear East-West and North-South grid patterns, but not here. The streets of Charlotte have some of the most unusual patterns in the world.

Our city may seem like a new city, but it actually has a very rich history of Native Americans, famous battles, and gold.

We were founded in 1768 (and officially declared independence from England in 1775) at the crossroads of two Native-American trading paths which ran northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast. That intersection is now the center of our city – Trade and Tryon.

Trade and Tryon Streets became the framework for Uptown, which now has blocks that look more like diamonds than squares.

The crazy shape of our highways primarily evolved from the shape of the two major creeks, Irwin Creek (77 and top part of 277), and Little Sugar Creek (bottom part of 277).

I still haven’t figured out why i85 runs west to east at times, and south to north other times, but it most likely also has it’s roots in the Carolina Peidmond geography as well.

The reason for some of the other crazy anomalies in our city (Queens/Providence intersection, Queens loop, all the Sharon rds., etc) stem from the old farmers routes.

The city of Charlotte was never really designed to be a major city, so many of the small winding trails simply grew over time.

quick glance at google maps confirms that most of the major roads don't seem to be straight lines, and what grids there are, don't appear to follow any consistent directional orientation

It is easy to write that the company sucks, but the problem isn't that easy.

When you work as a manager for the company and you are presented with a new project you can't say you will not do it. In many companies this will mean you are expected to hire people and to get it out the door.

In most companies incentives are against "we will ACTUALLY only hire best people".
I've used Spring and he's probably right :) . But there's better choices these days. Any Spring micro-services out there are probably by a team that knew Spring well and didn't want to learn a more suitable framework
There will be likely a WebAssembly-based port to browser as well like what AutoDesk demonstrated recently, with Web DRM locked garden for a change and without any GPU acceleration.
The article makes an interesting case for the influence of short sellers on Tesla's stock and calls out some specific hedge fund managers.

However, even if these "bad actors" (as the article calls them) do indeed influence the stock price: missing goals by a year, dwindling cash reserves, etc. are valid reasons for concern, but the article only mentions them for context, without addressing them.
Very good of short sellers have good ethics. But what if they don’t? What if they start INTRODUCING bugs to collect the bounties?
What's important it's the way you push trading.

I hope this get fixed eventually, either by extending it to both genders or removing it completely.

In Switzerland we had a small reform of our army and copying the Norwegians was considered for a while, but they ended up dropping the idea for just doing small changes. Quite disappointing.
I discovered these books (and the author) entirely by accident - at an airport, back in 2009 - I think it was Matter. Was hooked, and then read the entire series (inasmuch as they're a series) over the next twelve months.

Agree, totally not sustainable. "Administrative costs" and CEO's astronomical bonuses and pay rises come first.
The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein and The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes were both great.
Yes, you might be right, but there aren't that many of those projects. Also backends for anything tend to not be spectacular if done well because they are... backends.
How  to Help Your Company Embrace New Software

But what about "gorilla arm"? I used to hear that as an excuse for why touch screen windows laptops with a pen were impractical.
Against my better judgement, I'll go ahead and bite.

There are two things in your comment I want to address. First, I'm not sure what you mean by "the problem," so I'll assume you mean the question of what constitutes a solid education. Second, there's an underlying debate here of another question, what is the purpose of education?

I'd argue the second question begets the first, for how can you determine what constitutes education until you know what the purpose of it is? For example, is the purpose to be trained for a job, or to be able to think critically and ask fundamental questions about the nature of life?

If the answer is the former, then I would agree with you that no lesson should be allowed unless it can be directly followed along to a relevant skill at a job. But I think the answer ought to be the latter, and in that case, the questions posted by Campbell's responses in "Power of Myth" and exploration of ideas and narratives that many of us simply take for granted, compel one to have serious reflection; even better that the pivot is Star Wars, a story with which many people are already well acquainted.

So, while I was using a rather casual colloquialism, hopefully this reasoning justifies its use :)
I have similar experiences in both systems. Growing up in China, it is easy for me to navigate in US cities. Beijing is primarily of grid system.

The first time I went to Europe, I got quite lost in the city (Madrid). The second time was in Paris. I got some free time. So I walked around aimlessly in some neighborhoods, away from the popular tourist sites, appreciating the beauty, the history and the local people I ran across. It brought back the feeling I walked around the Hutongs in Beijing, which I enjoyed so much. Since then, I have been feeling very comfortable in navigating European cities with organic layout. In my case, it does seems there are two navigation systems, and I make subconscious switches based on the layouts.
I'm not even sure they're overpriced. Profit/revenue for the pharma industry is not terribly high when taken over all pharma companies. They do well, but it's no where near the highest profit/revenue industry. I think industry profit margins are around 15%, which is not unreasonable for a high tech industry.

Largely, afiact, they're trapped between their shorts and a hard place. They can't buy shares back at or below what they sold the shorts for, so unless they can manipulate the media, they will surely go bankrupt.
Wouldn't that mean that you have bad security anyway, since you were easy to infiltrate (it cost less than the bounty)?
Yup, I've used to do OneNote + screensharing, but this is really directly superior, as the objects are more "interactive" in the whiteboard app, and everybody can actually draw simultaneously. (not like with screensharing, where it ends up with everybody dictating to one writing person)
Yes, I moved to a small island off of the coast of Georgia, just north of Jacksonville, FL. Given that it has a vibrant tourism industry, I'm not sure I'd call it "rural", though it is an hour from any larger cities. It's not quite surburban either, though.

We love it here.

The "gotcha" is the need for solid internet connectivity. That's still hard to come by in truly "rural" places we looked at. Finding good schools is also a mixed bag, but that's true in urban settings as well.

Yup.. I miss definitely escaped the insanity of Silicon Valley in Commiefornia last November.

Took an $85k+ pay cut to move out to a BEAUTIFUL 40 acre ranch in Middle Tennessee. And I STILL have more $$ in my pocket at the end of every month than I had back in crazy land.

I shoot & hunt n my woods, fish in my pond, ride dirt bikes and horses with my kids. We have a massive 1000+sqft garden my wife planted that we get awesome produce out of.

I work remotely for a company in MI. So I rarely have to go anywhere..

It's like a dream come true.
What particular aspect would be a disaster in terms of victimization.

I concede the point about a "Federal Zoning Board" but I'm not sure I see the objection if a municipality were to introduce Japanese zoning.
Are you familiar with Java? If you use just `"foo"`, then the string will be interned and reused. If you use `new String("foo")`, each call creates a new copy on the heap. This call was inside a very hot loop, thus eating almost all the application's runtime.
How often would anyone do pro-level PS work on an iPad? I'm sure some will. Some just love love the attention of "swinging their junk around" in public. But that's - hopefully - a pretty small market.

Niche uses? Yeah probably. But general pro-level? I'm reaching for the erase tool ;)
>then with SolarCity a decade later.

SolarCity failed because it was a bad business. Shorts believe the same about Tesla, which may or may not be true. Do you think short-sellers randomly choose companies to sell, or do they look at fundamentals and decide the company isn't viable?

This idea that you can simply short a company until goes out of business is asinine. It's far riskier. The downside of shorting is unlimited. Fairfax still exists.

People like to bring up Chanos and Farifax when talking about Tesla, but they rarely mention he was also early on Enron.
I think it might be the other way round these days. Java programmers are outsourced because they're so expensive. Javascript seems like the best target now for low-skill outsourcing. Much lower barrier to entry, and arguably a much more forgiving language
Exactly. From gf's experience, doing her many-layers/high-resolution work even in older Photoshop versions on RAM lower than 16GB is a nightmare. At 16GB it barely starts to be usable.

We're working on a 2D game. Some years ago, when PCs had lower amounts of RAM, games didn't even had to include full HD assets. These days you may even target 4K. While you're at such resolution already, you may even go a bit further and keep it at printable quality for easy marketing. This eats lots of resources, no iPad will be up to such task. It will work fine for occasional, amateur editing, with low resolutions and low amounts of layers, but definitely not in our professional case.

> Especially as a tech salary goes infinitely further in rural areas than it does in downtown SF/NYC/London/etc.

They will also pay less though. It's not like even Google, FB, MS pay the same salaries in Europe that they pay in SF. I guess remote workers would get even less in most companies.
Looks cool on paper but I think there's a lot of issues with things zooming around at 150 in a tunnel. Emergencies and breakdowns happen. Vandalism and crime happens. I welcome any solution that alleviates the nightmare that is the Kennedy expressway though.

I'd say it's the opposite: the US system is quite rigid and micromanages how society builds. Limiting the power of government to regulate only broader, more overlapping categories is quite the opposite of socialism in the US sense; it's more like liberalism.

But mostly, comparing either to a political philosophy sounds far-fetched. But hey, it's politics, so you may be right somebody will be accused of socialism, however nonsensical that is.
I wish everyone would read the Shock Doctrine or at least understand the gist of it.
My company is pretty good about letting people that have worked with them for a while move to a remote job. One person moved to Ireland, another near Yosemite, a couple to Oregon. I've considered it before but I need to stay where I am for other reasons. I wouldn't mind moving closer to my home town if I have kids.
Circle lines would connect this city in new and wonderful ways certainly. The city has grown around it's transportation infrastructure and continues to do so everyday
I have a remote job _because_ I live in the countryside. I'm very happy with my job, but its not a walk in the park being remote.

* Most companies want to pay you based on your location. If you are already in a the countryside when getting the remote job, they will compare your compensation with all the local farmers and retail jobs. They are the only jobs in the area, so that is what generates the income stats. Its not impossible to find a company that will pay you what your worth working remote, but its an uphill battle.

* Internet options are non-existent. If you happen to have issues that your provider is unable or unwilling to fix, you have no recourse. Its obviously very important to have a reliable internet connection when remote.

* Networking is difficult. If your company is very distributed, this won't be as difficult. But if you are remote while most others are not, your career will suffer. It doesn't matter how great you are, if you don't get facetime in with your coworkers while everyone else is, you will be left behind.

These are just some challenges I've noticed. I'm very happy with my current company, and I love making a decent wage while living in a low-cost area. Plus no traffic and online shopping makes up for the lack of local business.
It's the same with music software.

It's wonderful that Reaper has a native Linux version! I might just go with Linux when I have the means to build a dedicated mixing and mastering computer, though I'll miss the ease and quality of SerumFX. Unfortunately, few VST developers have taken advantage of the new Linux support in the VST SDK. And then there's Ableton Live. All of it runs on Windows and Mac. None of it is likely to see an iOS port.

I need my whole workflow to come along. None of it is trivially replaced.
ex-Adobe engineer here - don't be disappointed, I think they'll do it soon.

I was working in the acrobat team till last month, and we were working on porting the Acrobat Reader to the web. When I left it was in the internal beta stage with minor UX tweaking work left. It is expected to be release very soon.

I think similar efforts may be (or will soon be) ongoing in other teams as well.
iPads support keyboards. Wacom's entire business is predicated on mouse/trackpad being inferior to styluses for many uses of this and similar software.

And... while there are some pretty easy UI wins Apple could make there [eg: the special handling of 'photos' in many apps makes treating them as 'just files' awkward] the iOS 11 system seems reasonable for most common workflows. Do you have any specific complaints?

I'm sure adobe would like the ecosystem to get better for them over time, but there's nothing blocking their software from being useful on the iPads of today.
I was wondering the same thing. The wikipedia article discusses it a bit under the heading “passage of temporal hours”, but I couldn’t visualize it. I was hoping the video would clarify that.
Spring is huge... The closest competitor might be Rails
Yeah, the one stop it costs more. Gotta gouge you on the way in.
I imagine it's less about money to be made but rather about fearing money to lose. Affinity offering a more and more well rounded solution with their Photoshop, Illustrator and now upcoming Indesign competitor, most of which are already on iPad today. With a Lightroom competitor in the works, I imagine Adobe is worried people will leave them completely for Affinity because of some customer's hatred of the subscription model, and lack of iCloud and other Apple specific tech. If affinity designer didn't release their app yesterday and announce publisher I'm sure Adobe wouldn't have leaked this news today. Excited for all the competition.
its on my to read list definitely. looking forward to it.
There's literally no chance of that happening in the US for fundamentally philosophical reasons. Politically the US has a very strong preference for pushing decisions down to the lowest level they can, whereas European countries and Japan take a much more pragmatic approach.
Depends on the company. The salary scale at mine doesn't take into account where you live (which I think is smart; we don't target people who live in any particular place, so we try to pay what the work is worth to the company).

That applies more to larger vertically mounted touch screens (including laptops with touch screens). Using an iPad with a stylus isn’t very different from using a Wacom tablet, which are fairly standard in the industry that uses photoshop anyways.
Optimising for tourists is pretty lame, they don't have to live there. In my opinion, I think a balance between the approaches works well. I'm in Philadelphia. I really appreciate that anyone can tell me some event is at "14th and Locust" and I know how to get there without directions. At the same time, roads like Ben Franklin Parkway are wide and open enough, with multiple courtyards along its length, that it opens up a larger part of the city for people to get their bearings in and get a larger part of the city in their visual field. Broad and Market street do the same thing, to a lesser extent.

But what confuses me, is that when my wife and I go there on the weekend, the retail stores don’t have much foot traffic. The restaurants, Whole Foods, and the movie theatre do though. Its the same when I go during the week for lunch occasionally.

As to internet access, look at that before picking a place. It really does vary wildly. For example, in North Dakota, several of the rural electric cooperatives have high speed fiber (One Gigabyte download, 500 Mbs upload - $105 to $135 per month, no cap), but the cable companies are sparse and lacking. Seeing what addresses are covered is pretty much a first step before picking housing.
I think France has a similar system of threshold. You have residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas and so on, with increasing permission to do whatever you want.

That often means tall residential buildings will be near commercial areas, huge residential complexes (often for social residence) near industrial area.
I have read that book, and survivorship bias is not a worry for most of the recommendations.

They find that most millionaires are quite frugal, have stable families, and live modest lifestyles--they have accumulated wealth but don't flaunt it and don't waste it. These are essentially the lowest risk strategies in life, and survivorship bias favors the exact opposite, i.e. the "lottery ticket" decisions.

The exception to the low risk mantra is that many millionaires run their own businesses, and of course entrepreneurship is risky. The authors do note the effects of survivorship bias here.

I'd summarize the book by saying: "work hard, live well below your means, and invest the difference. Also, don't spoil your kids if you want them to build wealth."
This is arguably a chicken-and-egg problem. If products like Photoshop make these pain points obvious to more users, Apple has good reason to improve such workflows.
Another small town in Spain? I found that many of their small towns have really terrible internet, which was a deal breaker for me.
Yes I believe so. However, if you have "a bunch" of disks to attached, maybe consider NAS?
I know a lot of people really don’t like the idea of macOS on ARM, but I think it could be really valuable for the PC market as as a whole. Intel could use more competition. And a transition towards a less closed architecture would be good for computing in general IMO.
