On TWiT[0]. They had the keyboard up to 115f sometimes, some other videos on youtube have gone much higher.

I've also seen a couple of youtubers and the number is growing, returning their macbooks [1], [2], due to the performance and the number is growing daily.

I really think this issue is down to a few things.

1) The need from Apple to be thinner each iteration, is really costing them the ability to have better thermals and fans.

2) Putting an 14nm chip where a 10nm should be. Unfortunately Intel is having issues with that.

3) No vents at the sides or the back, only where the screen is. Poor design considerations when it comes to heat.

I'm going to be keeping onto my MBPr 2012 for another year. I want to see some of these issues being resolved.

I would not be surprised if this spurs on Apple to phase in Arm processors in 2020.

I live in Seattle, one of the most expensive cities in the US. Most of the houseboats on Lake Washington and Lake Union dumped their sewage straight into the lakes until the late 60s.

It was only this year that we passed an ordinance prohibiting dumping treated sewage from boats into Puget Sound and the lakes. That's a shudder-inducing thought when you consider that many of the delicious oysters we have here are directly under those boats, filtering everything they can out of the water.

Most of human history has involved treating bodies of water like magical devices that teleport waste away forever.
Let's sum the discussion up - the advantages of HTTPS on static websites is that the content can't be (1) sniffed, (2) manipulated. To which I reply that (1) the person able to sniff your network traffic is also able to see or quite reliably predict what URLs you visit, and (2) if someone is modifying your network traffic specifically, you have much bigger problem than the one that could be solved by HTTPS. And really, each time I hear "HTTPS is secure" I get frustrated, as if people really had no idea how these protocols work.

Hey ho.
I worked on this project.

The majority of the team is in SF for Google Cloud Next to present this. I'm about to hop into the car to head up myself to watch, so I can do a little AMA throughout the day. Reply to this to make sure I see your question!

Here's a question I've already seen:

> Is this a Google project or a Go project?

It is a project led by the Go team, and we are very aware of our responsibility to be cloud provider neutral. At the same time, while the project is so new and evolving so rapidly, we need to have working examples that we can change atomically in a single repository (atomic changes necessary for rollbacks and such). We don't want to have cloud provider-specific code in the Go project, so the code is currently sitting under the Google GitHub org. When the interfaces to different products stabilize, the intention is to graduate them up to the Go GitHub org. Then anyone can code implementations to that interface for whatever cloud they like in separate repos, similar to the way `database/sql` is structured. The cloud provider-specific code will always live outside the Go project.

But things are very new, so change is possible.

The effective income tax rates in the US in the 1950s, even on the top 1%, were barely higher than they are today and in many cases lower. The tax structure was significantly different, so a naive comparison might lead you to believe otherwise.

> Before you can talk about "the actions of the experimenter or the apparatus" you have to tell me what an experimenter or an apparatus is.

This is a very common error of armchair worldview building. Experiment-based sciences such as physics do not work exclusively that way; we can make progress without being so ambitious as to describe and exhaust the whole world in a single scheme. There are things in the real world that have no useful definition or model in physics, such as matter, or experimenter, or apparatus, or measurement. And this is fine, because we know them by experience, and the subject of the investigation is usually something else and rather more specific.

> But theory tells us, and experiment confirms, that classical objects do not actually exist.

Which theory, which experiment? The studies in quantum foundations showed that explaining expensive experiments with light and particles in the classical terms is hard, and some naive intuitive models, surprisingly, are not consistent with quantum theory. This is very far from "classical objects do not exist". They can easily exist, just with properties that are contextual and interactions that are non-local. And those are categories we are aware of; the possibilities are endless.

If you're thinking about the Everettian viewpoint where indeed no classical objects exist, this is just one possible theoretical scheme of thinking, not an experiment-based physical theory. There is Bohmian mechanics, where particles do exist. There are other theories where particles do exist.

> If you have a better theory, you should publish it.

A better theory in place of "classical objects don't exist" is "don't try to explain the whole world with a single scheme". There is the statistical interpretation due to Einstein, Ballentine and the Bohmian viewpoint which get us useful models and predictions in the realm of atomic physics. There is the classical theory, which gets us understanding of civil engineering, Earth-scale events and celestial mechanics. There is the general theory of relativity, which gets us accurate description of gravity. None of these overlap very well. Neither is explained by Everettian viewpoint.
Awesome, thanks, you may have a new customer soon.

Afaik, Acid damage to teeth is mostly from long term effects of acid produced by bacteria on the teeth, not acidic liquids that transit through the mouth.

In any case, disposable plastic straw bans do not affect your freedom of choosing whether you use a straw or not.
> Explain the inconvenience you're experiencing because you can't get a straw?

Simple, I like using straws. Now I can't get one. It's not a small step forward, it's a minuscule step forward. Nothing significant has changed except peoples silly image of themselves.
It doesn't say that IANA defined it to not have HTTPS anywhere at all.
Right. How come we don't learn anything from the same policy that resulted in failures such as ARPANET and GPS.
I don't know what Canada's approach to efficiency is, but most levels of public service in the US are quite indifferent to the idea of maximizing the good that can be done with tax revenue.

I didn't realise how big of a problem it was until Blue Planet II last year, and then earlier this year I stayed in Unawatuna, and the hotel had a small private beach that is cleared of plastic daily, and it was covered again within hours. I didn't take any photos of the litter directly, but in the top-left of this photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg7qXxyH-2c/?taken-by=unfunco it is somewhat visible.

It's endless, it'll just keep washing up for the foreseeable future. In the UK you're now vilified if you ask for a plastic bag to carry your shopping home, and the pubs and bars near me no longer offer plastic straws, I'm fine with this, but our waste is an almost literal drop in the ocean compared to the waste being dumped in rivers and oceans by developing nations.
There are ways to actually run your application for free using the big players' free services. One route I've looked at for e-commerce is storing product data on Stripe, hosting product pages with Netlify, pulling product data during static site build, triggering a build when Stripe data gets updated, and using Netlify's wrapper around AWS Lambda for free FaaS (AWS Lambda can be free forever, but you also need AWS API Gateway which isn't free forever). This results in the only fee being a CC fee.

I've put together a demo over at libra-shop.org. It definitely still needs some work, but I think most of the important bits are all sorted out.

Of course, the biggest issue with using free tiers for your entire stack is that you have no guarantee that the services will be running forever. (eg. Netlify could stop providing a free AWS Lambda connection)

No, Amazon doesn't have a right to carry any particular brand of goods.
Is Artificial Intelligence good for the event industry?
I wonder what kind of monitoring and alert system must exist if any cloud provider changes their SDK or APIs (signature, logic, capability etc.) upstream while your go binaries are in production. Did Google manage to get cloud providers on board to register and update a 1 to 1 match between the upstream api and the go cloud api?

Secondly on the article's mention on multi cloud usage, you would need to be a pretty large place to need (or even bothering to assess and convince yourself that you need) to use multiple cloud providers at once. Just learning and tweaking settings in the cloud providers GUI console is half the battle won sometimes.

Saying all this, this, together with the data portability announcement, it is definitely great for competition and going to bring great resilience in your code base to be SDK agnostic.

This is actually pretty cool (although the lack of reproducibility from custom instruments is concerning). i think the whole race towards massive amounts of WGS has detracted from quality low-level biochemistry and biophysics research, and these machines are (in principle) incredibly sensitive, programmable experiment managers.

It's exactly this sneering "user beware" attitude that fosters abuse of privacy online. It's (probably) well-intentioned and supposed to push people to take privacy and security more seriously, but what it has actually done is created a general culture of blaming the victim where everything not being absolutely locked down being up for grabs, and if you mess up in any way and are harmed it's your own fault so quit whining.

I think the parent is right: if we tried instead to foster a culture that respects privacy as an ethical issue first it would greatly improve everyone's experience online. Privacy should be a bedrock principle, not something that exists only as far as the strength of the personal digital fortress you can erect.

I've got to say that I've found Google's swirling messaging around serverless-as-a-service to be frustrating. Originally, it was App Engine, which was great: upload a bit of Java/Python and off you went.

Then that suddenly seemed to get expensive (https://readwrite.com/2011/09/02/google-app-engine-pricing-a...).

Then, about 3 years ago, App Engine seemed to be Docker-only App Engine ("Using the App Engine flexible environment means that your application instances run within Docker containers on Google Compute Engine virtual machines") with little mention of the original upload-some-code App Engine.

Now there are the App Engine "Standard Environment" which is in "Beta" and the "Flexible Environment" which is GA.

Now it's old-is-new, upload-some-code App Engine by a different name. I think it would have been much more clear if, having to maintain legacy App Engine code+environments, they had released Google App Engine V2 and called "Flexible Environment" the "Container Environment" (but that would have been confusing with "Kubernetes Engine"...).

GCP's messaging seemed to have been much more coherent than AWS's but they seem to be catching up. What's next? A Lightsail competitor?

Launch HN: OneGraph (YC S18) – Build API Integrations with GraphQL
Hey HN,

We’re Sean and Daniel, founders of OneGraph (https://www.onegraph.com). We're a single GraphQL endpoint that brings together all your SaaS APIs.

We make it easy to build integrations for your app into services like Salesforce, Stripe, GitHub, Clearbit, and Gmail. Since each service’s API is unique you usually have to read their documentation, implement their specific authentication, make very specific calls to their servers, etc.—it seems normal right now, but all of this adds up.

Both of us have done plenty of integrations into these services for different startups over the years, so we knew intimately how painful it can be, especially when you have to coordinate data from multiple services.

Then GraphQL came along, and we saw that it could be a query language for all of the APIs we wanted. We can express our data requirements—even between services—succinctly, and let a single execution engine figure out how to translate those requirements to specific API calls.

We’ve built a GraphQL service that does just that - it knows how to talk to each backend API we support to pull out exactly the data you need. Here’s an example of how it works:

{
youTubeVideo(id: "YX40hbAHx3s") {
snippet {
title
uploadChannel {
snippet {
title
}
twitterLinks { # twitter accounts associated with the channel
twitter(first: 5) {
tweets {
text
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

(You can see the full result of the query https://gist.github.com/sgrove/5f17d046e535763c3c85258054ed0...
or play with it yourself https://bit.ly/2NL89GA)

We charge based on the services you’re integrating with, whether you want white-label authentication for your users, and overall usage. Eventually we’ll offer an on-premise solution for bigger enterprises that need it.

We’d really appreciate your feedback on OneGraph. We have a lot we want to improve on, and would love to hear where you want us to go next.

Peltier cooling modules are pretty cheap nowadays, but they require too much power and need too much heat sinking to be useful in a wearable, in my opinion.

Either you become a walking solar panel or you have to carry around a pretty hefty battery for it to be useful for any significant period of time, and either option may end up weighing so much that you’ll heat up anyway from carrying all that extra weight around.

As much as I would love to have a peltier cooling vest, I don’t think it’s practical. However, if there existed a muscular exoskeleton (in the vein of power armor from Fallout or The Expanse) that could compensate for its own extra weight and bulkiness, then an active-cooling garment might actually work.

Or just buy an air-conditioned fursuit ;)

Getting one itemized tax bill and a having a uniform tax code across the US would be so nice. Taxes don't stop at states, there are county, city, and municipality taxes as well. These may apply concurrently with several others depending on where you work and live.

This makes filing taxes a nightmare on top of being horribly inefficient for local governments. The federal government could handle tax collection and refunds for everyone, and come up with a standard set of rules that apply across the US. It makes life easier and more efficient for everyone involved.
