The annual releases are mostly cosmetic and typically only change higher-level details. They haven't made much in the way of substantive changes to the base system since 10.6. At the lower level, it's looking like abandonware.

Apple is notoriously secretive. The "public announcement" of the new Mac Pro was a whole lot of nothing. Not one substantive detail. Am I supposed to wait until its 2019 release before making any commitment to support it? It might be terrible, and there's no information about its specifications. "Waiting in hope" is no good for business and product planning. The hype train might work for phones, but for computer hardware it's a bit pathetic, and leaves me doubting they have a serious plan for it (as if the existing Mac Pro left us in any doubt at all).

The merging of frameworks isn't of the slightest interest if you only develop for MacOS. And the new chipsets aren't particularly noteworthy either; they are just details. As a cross-platform software developer, I really couldn't care less. But I do care about their support for industry-standard APIs.
There are way too many M2M users of 2G to close it down, at least in the Nordics. E.g. electricity meters in Finland commonly use GPRS.

No, that is not what I meant. I meant that the biological parents should be financially responsible for their child by default. If someone wants to voluntarily take over the responsibility it is fine. But the state should not force you to sponsor someone else biological child as if it was yours. It has nothing to do with funding poor and orphaned children through general taxes, this is a wholly different situation and by the way I'm in favor of that.

The CJR is a journal about the press; its writers' opinion that a free press is vital is nailed on.

I don't read it as trying to push an agenda (which I suspect the author believes is shared by her readers) but to explore the tensions between America's tradition of a viciously partisan press and its 20th Century ethic of studied neutrality, and of tensions between the press as abstract apple-pie-and-motherhood and distrust of actual publications (the archivist's selection of Fox over other media, and the observation that even in their heyday there was commercial pressure for small town press not to do investigative reporting).

If you find arguments about the state of the press distasteful I can see why you wouldn't like the last section. But I found it quite interesting.

Do NOT get the Nokia 3210 (2017) or any other phone running the S30+ OS:

- Very limited storage capacity for texts. It seems to be some fixed limit and it won’t use free space useable by e.g. the camera.

- Terrible call quality.

I’m still using it because the phone has charm, but that’s the only redeeming quality in my opinion.

In the EU it's mandatory for my employer to provide at least 25 days of paid time off per year. It's my right to take it, but I don't have to if I don't want to. The "mandatory" part is on the employer - they have to provide everyone with 25 days of paid holidays, unlimited paid sick leave, maternity/paternity leave - but it's not mandatory to take any of those for the employee - that's where the "right" part comes in.

Therein lies the problem with nuclear weapons: they will never be used to win a world war by a calculating Hitler-like figure, but they can be used to kill most people on earth by an irrational Osama-like leader.

And since democracy and most other political systems frequently promote irrational figures in positions of authority, nuclear weapons (or rather, large nuclear stockpiles) pose a fundamental new problem for humanity, with no precedent in the history of war: catastrophic negative externalities for political insanity. The consequences of wars are no longer limited to the belligerent parties, but exported thought the world to peaceful and neutral nations. It's therefore rational for anybody to seek world denuclearization.

As a side comment, a good example or irrational behavior is the US treatment of Iran - a country that agreed not to proliferate only to be currently jerked around - versus the overtures made to North Korea after it obtained nuclear weapons. The political value of nuclear weapons becomes clear - although the reasons why US is pursuing this strategy of pushing states to proliferation is much less clear, and have to do with irrational internal US politics.

A level playing field might not go far enough. When we see government or organization that tries to get more women into areas where they are an minority, most of the time the money goes exclusively to them. The argument usually is that there is no reason to spend money and resources on the majority. Following such common practice then all maternity leave (and funds for that) should go to the fathers and only the minimal amount needed for recuperation to the mothers. The policy can then be leveled out if and when men start to take out more time than mothers.

Tryniski supports Trump, who regularly describes journalists as public enemies. And at the same time he spends a a lot of time working on the material produced by journalism. I'd say that's an interesting contradiction, and exploring it added colour to what would otherwise have been a dry article about microfilm scanning.

Some years ago I did a course on magazine journalism. You get taught to look for the human angle when writing a piece, and to find a "hook" for your article that relates it to current events. This was just a journalist doing that.

> That's not really fair is it? The company is overly diverse if anything. In a way they're stealing women from the workforce of other companies.

This was always a mystery to me as well. Unless you are expanding the workforce, it's a zero-sum game, so exhibiting a higher ratio merely means that someone else must have a lower ratio. Aiming for a higher ratio isn't empowering at all.

If a 50/50 ratio is to be meaningful, you have to fix the workforce ratio, first.
I feel like I'm being obvious, but, totalitarianism? That is, if "world" is to refer to more than the physical planet, or the mere existence of ecosystems in it, but also things like human thought and creativity. As human agency gets restricted and channeled in infantilized or even outright violently abusive ways, human thought evaporates along with it. Too many people can't already stick with issues they identified with the world for 5 minutes, not to mention the required decades. What's in store for the future is not being able to express it anymore, at all, not even clumsily, to not even be able to form a solid internal representation, never having been in contact with any of the tools and concepts required for that other than to mock and other them. This can already be seen in some people, but the "fun" really begins when that is true for everybody.

That's the worst case scenario for me. Compared to (!) that, this is how I feel about climate change and nuclear war:

Sure, I totally agree.

Sad truth is, it does not work this way atm, and fixing it is painfully hard for multiple reasons. Quotas try to do that in an imperfect way, sure. But I think it's good that someone is at least 1. acknowledging the problem 2. doing something practical to fix it.

Hell no. Optimizing solely for grades and test scores will get you rote-memorizing robots with zero personal skills and minimal potential.

A completely merit-based, objective admissions system simply does not exist.
Invariably for some fraction of transactions you'll later find out the settlement shouldn't have been executed. It doesn't matter whose "fault" that is, either way somebody will get screwed when this happens. If you wait longer, you may detect this before settlement completes and nobody gets screwed.

In my country there's a scam where people find out you're buying a house through a particular solicitor with a large cash transfer, then they send you an email or even a physical letter saying there's a problem, the solicitor just found out their firm got a new bank, or whatever, please transfer the house money to the new account. Of course it's a lot of money so most people will want to check this is right - they provide their phone number on the message. This number, of course, is part of the scam and a "secretary" will answer saying your solicitor is busy right now, but yes, they're very sorry, the message is genuine and please use the new account details.

The large sums involved mean this scam is very lucrative even if it doesn't work on say, 99% of potential victims.

If the victim realises they've been scammed ten minutes after the transfer, chances are good the bank can fix it, because settlements aren't really instant. If they realise the next day, or two, or three days later, the money is gone. It went to a mule, who has already forwarded it, the police might arrest the mule if they can find them, but the mule doesn't have your money, they're just another sucker.

From an earlier thread:

I was a college admissions officer for a few years and am familiar with the process at the top Ivies.

The outcome is racist but there's no intent to be racist.

Imagine your job is to create the best possible 2000-student freshman class for Harvard from the 40,000 students who apply.

You review the applications and notice to your horror that 600-1000 of them all have perfect or near perfect test scores, boring essays, so-so extracurriculars (Overwatch tournaments and robotics club don't cut it), play an instrument (very well, but not remarkably), and want to study pre-med.

Their grades and scores are STELLAR! But if you admit these students your campus is fucked. Half the freshman class can't do pre-med. Once the pre-med spots fill up what will the rest do? That seems like a very horrible situation to put students in. There's just not enough spots.

What's going to happen to campus social life if half the class has a history of not being social at all? Who's going to produce art and go into politics? Who's going into investment banking to pull down big bonuses 10 years from now?

So you work your way through them and try to take the very best of them. The rest of them you reject. They'll get into fine schools and be successful, there's just only so many slots of students like that in the class.

This cohort of students happens to be disproportionately asian. No one is out to discriminate against asian people, their applications are just very problematic at scale.

SEPA Instant is either being released or in trial phases. My bank is trialing it, a <10 second transaction costs 1€ fee flat, normal SEPA is still free.

And banks offer me more in terms of personal security. If I lose my debit card, I get all damages reimbursed. If the bank gets hacked, there is insurance.

Unless I fuck it up myself, I'm going to be saved by the bank.

On the other hand, on Bitcoin I can fuck it up myself but if someone else fucks me up then I'm SOL and can go eat ham for all that Bitcoin cares.

For the average users the question of using Bitcoin has become irrelevant with SEPA Inst. Banks are faster with it and offer more features.

If corporations couldn’t offer new stock, they’d lose access to their primary source of funds. IPOs and VC rounds wouldn’t exist, for example.

The whole point of dilution is that a growing company is not a zero-sum game, and so it’s not necessary for somebody to lose their shares for somebody to get them. Instead, stock offerings allow new participants to buy into the corporation while giving existing shareholders a measure of the stock’s worth (although they may not be able to sell unless the offering is coupled with listing on a public exchange, i.e. an IPO).
