I liked the format but I think it could be improved a lot by (1) a way to disable the auto-forwarding to the next page, (2) an indication of the overall length of the piece and my position in it and (3) a unique URL for each page, so that I can I use other browser features like bookmarking, backward/forward buttons, etc. In fact I hit the back button because I expected this and then had to start over from the beginning because my progress was lost.

> Because keeping a Hackintosh up and running is a hobby. It requires maintenance. macOS point release comes out? Better hit the forums/subreddits and start looking for driver compatibility/kexts/other hacks etc. Hackintoshes are crazy fragile. I had a Hackintosh during the Snow Leopard years and when Lion came out I just gave up.

They aren't particularly fragile anymore, it's been quite awhile since an update broke something major. Even the upgrade to High Sierra which switched to APFS went off without a hitch on my machine. The only thing I have to check on before upgrading is if nvidia's drivers are supported.
Thanks! I do like those terms more.
It's funny, but after four years on macOS, I returned to GNU/Linux about 16 months ago, and I have not looked back since. Okay, there are a few things I miss, but all in all, there was more I missed on macOS than I now miss on GNU/Linux.

And I do not consider spending a weekend (or longer) to get my sound chip working fun any more. I am too old for that stuff. Maybe I just have a lucky hand picking hardware, but except for the nVidia driver, hardware has just worked(tm) for me.

Don't get me wrong, if you are happy on macOS, by all means, enjoy it. But the old cliche that getting hardware to work on GNU/Linux is not true these days.

But I do agree, macOS without the tight integration between hardware and OS seems pointless.

What blatant lies? Everything there looks true, except maybe the employment figures (the US figure apparently includes all people working in the "the iOS ecosystem", which seems totally bogus to me), but that's actually being generous to Apple.

You and others didn't read my last sentence and keep hiding behind childish free speech absolutism. Jones specifically used his platform to abuse people. He should have been banned a long time ago. This isn't just about his conspiracy theories.
Uh? I think you misread. I was pointing out that every major nation-state was running—and relying on the productive output of!—penal labor colonies in the 1800s. I brought up Britain as a well known example: everyone knows that Britain ran penal labor colonies. But the US was also running—and depending on—penal labor colonies.

The "loophole" is, to put it in modern terms, a concession to the American penal-labor-colony industry lobby. (Well, not really, since we didn't have private prisons back then. All the work being done by US penal labor colonies was directly to the productive benefit of the US government.)

I am not familiar with this area but based on the glossary here https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=tradehaltcodes , it seems if the halt was done by the exchange it would have a T12 halt code. SteveGregory's comment cites Tesla trading was halted using a T1 halt code (defined as "Trading is halted pending the release of material news"), which I assume would be initiated by Tesla.
Honestly, I don’t find the censorship tools or local-hosting of data to be too offensive; if the big Cloud players don’t do it, another will, with the net effect being the same. What bothers me the most is the airlines listing Taiwan as part of China. This goes against policy of the vast majority of the world, including the U.S. It’s one of many reasons (the others are not germane to the article so I will not list them here) why I refuse to buy new Chinese products. It has been quite difficult, but between second hand stores and a relatively robust domestic manufacturing base, I’ve made it work.

However, the Chinese Communist Party is in fact coercing American websites to conform to its political preferences.

To rephrase, you're saying everything is hunky-dory in Mac and Windows Land, and you look forward to every new release as a breath of fresh air of new functionality. To feel otherwise is to be an old fuddy-duddy.

This is an interesting thought. If the US is going to contract out its prison-keeping (as it does, and at spectacularly high costs) then it would be great if this could allow for a wide variety of experiments. Charter Prisons, perhaps.

I don't know exactly how you'd organise this, I guess you want to score them by recidivism rates (and high-school diplomas?) with massive penalties for escapes / deaths etc? Unlike charter schools you could assign prisoners truly randomly, statewide, for good statistics.

No doubt there are lessons to be learned from many countries' systems. Maybe we should encourage foreign companies to enter this market. I'm personally dubious that the Nordics have some secret sauce (to adapt Milton Friedman's quip, have you heard about the Swedish-American prison gangs?) but would love to be proven wrong.
Well this is kind of annoying.

Jones is going to whine about being a victim regardless, since that's part of his character. He should be treated the same way nazi websites are and make it harder for him to make a profit off his bullshit.

As I said though, he used his platform to abuse people and should have been banned a long time ago, regardless of his lame conspiracy theories.
Since they don't seem to bother actually sharing their ten year plan, let me share what I want their ten year plan to be:

- We're planning no new user visible features. Instapaper will continue to work just the way you've grown to like it, and we're not planning to change stuff around.

- We're working on making text extraction even more reliable. Besides blog posts and news articles, we hope to improve text extraction from PDFs, slide decks or even twitter threads. Whatever textual content you find on the web, with Instapaper you can save it for distraction free reading, now or later.

- Our apps will see ongoing development to improve compatibility (eg. support new devices/OS updates as they come out), but no major new features. Quality assurance will be our top priority.

- and last but not least, our goal is to establish a small, but profitable company to keep the project alive! Besides the technical aspects, our new business plan will make sure that we're thinking ahead and that we're never caught off guard by something like the GDPR again.

Space is fucking big. So fucking big. So utterly enormously fucking big. And mostly empty.

Time is long. So long. So insanely long. We live ~70 years. Most of us are half that age. It's not even close to a drop in the cosmic bucket that has been time.

The speed of light is SLOW compared to the distance between everything.. so, depressingly slow.

Life is complex, it took billions of years to evolve to something that could finally figure shit out.

Our technology is impressive, but woefully inadequate for the distances we need to travel.

Is it any wonder we haven't detected any life yet?

Are you sure about that? It seems to me that humanity has often made a "leap" in the past... Romans "fed" on slaves, then collapsed, and eventually we found coal. The industrial revolution "fed" on coal, then we found "oil", there's probably the next thing!
I am using this model as well, but I've added a bunch of cards and replaced the BT module so that I could get Handoff support. The biggest downside right now is the fact that the motherboard is SATA2 instead of SATA3. The disk speed is abysmal.

Ancient can be nice in some instances. I had Apple IIs in elementary school in the late 90s and to be honest I'd prefer that for elementary school kids over something more modern. It has less opportunities for distraction.

How have you not used Xamarin?

Hot reload is supported, C# has a REPL nowadays and there are workbooks, Swift storyboard style.

There are Java AOT compilers for iOS, at least three that I can remember of.

I agree. I ran a Hackintosh off of a GA-P35 motherboard for years (Snow Leopard/10.6). I then scaled down to leave the country and switched on a real Mac running 10.7. Big fucking mistake. Lion was terrible. No expose. Only one row of workspaces. Mission control. And there was no way to downgrade back to 10.6!

Oh and I also made the mistake of going from Final Cut 7 to Final Cut X. To be fair, I did edit two complete videos before going back to 7 and eventually ditching Final Cut entirely. FCX is terrible.

Shortly after I started running Linux in a VM and got into i3/tiling window managers. Every iteration of macOS has gotten worse and worse.

If you really like macOS, then maybe it's worth it to run a hackintosh. I run Win 10 for games and video editing and Linux for absolutely everything else.
This doesn't help in their case. To get a caching node located in rural Uganda (so they don't have to max out their slow sat link), they'd have to negotiate a solution with each major CDN service. Before widespread HTTPS, they just put some box running Squid in the closet.

Their problem is a real one, and I don't think we have a good solution for solving it.

It'd be nice if their problems could be solved without requiring gross hacks or degraded security.
Would be interesting if it would be possible to take the Rust approach and guarantee at parse/compilation time that the DOM interactions are safe without runtime overhead. Probably a terrible idea for mobile devices though...

I don't think the 2018 MacBook Pro leaves much to be desired unless you want features that would turn it into a ThinkBook-like brick. For $50 you get a charging USB-C hub that allows you even to leave your power brick home. The iMac Pro is pretty great.

Power Mac is a different story.....don't know how and when they're going to fix this. That's a real shame.
I was not stating it was a good thing. It means that Japan is treating people they suspect of crimes absolutely awfully.

The mistake is forgetting the units. Debt is in Dollars, GDP is Dollars/Year.

That makes Debt-to-GDP ratio have the units of Time, not percent.

Pihole manages your hosts file which redirects domain names to a configured IP-address; a local one when the goal is blocking. It is a bit overhyped but useful when you understand what it's for.

It uses the same lists as uBlock, but only the rules which filter the entire domains. Meaning, uBlock covers a lot more ground and preserves the operability of most websites.

As such, just for browser activity it is a redundant measure.

The difference is, for everything else it affects all your traffic; that is, Android or Windows apps, telemetry, bad content in HTML emails, etc.

If you install it on a router, you can cover all your devices. That can immediately or later cause issues with websites and apps inhibiting usage when ads or trackers are blocked. So you need to be available for whitelisting.

Personally, my guess is that we will find that life is actually pretty common, but that civilization like we have is very rare. I mean life on earth has been going for what? 4 billion years? and yet only in the last 10,000 or so did civilization actually start. And even when (modern) humans showed up on the scene it still took them another 300,000 years to start doing civilization looking things.

There is just such a huge variety of factors that had to go right on top of life being on the planet already for civilization to get going.
I think the point is to integrate WebAssembly with JavaScript objects in general, not the DOM API in particular. Nothing to do with web browsers, everything to do with JavaScript.

>there is a pattern where low paying service jobs are replacing jobs in the manufacturing industry. This is a direct consequence of automation in the manufacturing industries

It's kinda more related to that "Made in China" sticker that appears on most manufactured things you buy these days.

No shortage of manufacturing jobs in China. Or Germany (which has also enacted economic policy to keep manufacturing at home), for that matter.
I've disliked change since I was a teenager. Perhaps you're making a generalization?

I understand where you're coming from here so I don't want to belabor the point, but what you're actually describing is more of a faith-based system rather than one based on science! And I for one am simply no longer willing to take most of what (for example) shows up in the peer-reviewed literature these days based primarily on faith, and I haven't been for several decades now. The fact that you and so many others seem so readily willing to do so makes me seriously question your critical thinking skills.

And I don't blindly trust that "the system works" really at all to the extent that's so it often claimed to. An awful lot of what gets published these days tends to just not hold up to close scrutiny, and often what appears to be groundbreaking research may just kind of up and disappear with no further trace soon enough, without ever directly or even indirectly leading to a practical new product or a new drug or whatever. I understand that this kind of thing is going to happen, and it may happen quite a bit if you're doing really groundbreaking stuff, but in general this should probably be more the exception than the rule.

But yes, I do understand how the method works, and how the system that's supposedly based on that method works (when it actually does work), and also when it doesn't work and why, and what the motivations might be to try and pretend that it works even in situations when it actually doesn't. And rather than blindly defend it, maybe you try a bit harder to understand how it actually "works", too.
The 99% obviously means that (at best!) that they don't bring cases they may lose to trial, and isn't really an achievement.

But GGP realusername's claim was that brutal policing drives crime. Places which have brutal policing and genuinely low crime are some evidence against this, even if you don't wish to emulate the brutality.

(Whether the USSR had low levels of street crime I actually don't know -- is this known? But few deny that Japan and Singapore are pretty damn safe.)
This looks really interesting, will take a look, thanks.
I'm not denying climate change here, merely trying to be honest and realistic about the expected effects. False apocalyptic predictions only provide fuel to those who deny CC entirely.

Well, for me, having a company as big as Google providing a solution and commiting to fix the problem a few days after the guy reported the issue on his blog, is quite a good response. It could be better, but we're not talking about the startup with 10 employees and 300 customers.
It also ignores human creativity. "Machines are better, so no more jobs", when the reality is "people like to pay a premium for hand-made things / services that cannot be provided by machines". Sure, there's no guarantee that we'll create new jobs, but it sure seems very likely to me that the market will find a way to employ people if the market is allowed to.
