The point of the HIG is to make everything look and work the same on the platform: https://blog.prototypr.io/rediscovering-apples-human-interfa...

> “The purpose of visual consistency is to construct a believable environment for users… The transfer of skills is one of the most important benefits of a consistent interface, especially for beginning users.” pg. 10

> “…consistency makes it easier for a user to learn new applications; it also makes it less likely that a user who follows habits learned from one application will make a disastrous mistake when using a different one.” pg. xi

The HIG goes beyond simply expressing principles of what makes for a good UI. The consistency in and of itself allows users to develop an intuition and muscle memory for how their computer will work. That intuition is destroyed when different apps look and behave differently. In that sense, it's better to be less intuitive according to some abstract principle if necessary to achieve consistency. It will take the user longer to understand a "more intuitive" UI starting from first principles than to understand a UI that exhibits the quirks embedded in the HIG they already know.

Either way I hope some organization with a lot of resources delves further, my "spreadsheet of Twitter bots" doesn't exactly constitute research and I'd love to see something bigger/better/more effective.

The corporate form is a special, ongoing, government granted privilege. You paid the issuer of that share, or a prior owner, for their interest, but part of the deal—the expectation you should have had—that it came with is that the associated privileges that go with the (essentially last place) claim on corporate assets at dissolution are subject to change by government.

Changes over time have made shareholders and management less accountable to the public interest generally as charter revocation for gross abuses has fallen into disuse, and have also shifted the balance between shareholders and management (who are, after all, employees.) Shifting the balance between shareholders and employees in a way which applies to the mass of employees rather than management as such is novel, perhaps (though labor law changes, while not specific to the corporate form of business, tend to do that, too), but isn't really different in any fundamental way from the kinds of changes to corporate power relations that have happened through legislative and judicial action throughout the whole period of existence of the corporate form.

Now, if you want to argue the specifics of this proposal, great, but arguing for an expectation-based entitlement for immutability of the privileges and power relations associated with corporate shareholding is, well, indefensible as a reasonable expectation.

There's more going on than just the SGX attack. What I'm not saying is "add this 1 instruction and everything is copacetic" -- what I am saying is that the patches for at least some of the vulnerabilities are somewhat straightforward.
What classes of vulnerabilities are you referring to that are likely to show up in a microkernel-based design but not in a monolithic one? Do you think adding those classes of vulnerabilities to the picture will result in more, about the same, or fewer critical security issues between the systems overall, and why? Please be specific.

I'm after a 'window manager' that can help me load a single X application on top of an X session that can sense the size of the screen and render the window maximised.

If you try something like

startx /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice

from a linux console without a desktop manager set, you get an openoffice (whatever app) window that is a bit smaller than the screen and offset. Googling around suggests that you have to rely on each application to set its window size.

startx /usr/bin/chromium --kiosk

will get you something close to what I'm after for all applications.

Western cities have only themselves to blame for turning housing into an appreciating asset. Housing is not supposed to appreciate and if it does not then nobody would speculate in it. In cities where they just build housing, like Vienna (typical rent ~1000 Euros/mo), they don’t have a need of these kinds of laws.

> and the relative ease with which AMD has come through the problems make me wonder if we would be better with AMD.

I think the only reason this is the case is the difference in market share. There are much more Intel processors out there, so finding an Intel vulnerability makes a much better academic paper (and much more lucrative for bad actors).

AMD might have made some inroads into the enthusiast market lately, but with cloud providers they are basically non-existent. These guys buy (or manufacture) servers by tens of thousands. They hate rebooting servers, even if they got a VM live-migration stuff worked out (as everybody does these days). BIOS and RAM problems that people mention here make AMD a complete no-go.

I'm sure that now there are people at Amazon/Google/Microsoft thinking hard about reducing their dependence on Intel, but I doubt we will see any difference for years.

Particularly if you're doing kernel bypass for performance reasons, the smaller cache footprint of a microkernel is an advantage.

When I was in college, the first assignment was to run a provided benchmark program that jumped all over a gradually growing buffer and graphed average latency vs. buffer size and we had to identify the sizes of thle various caches from the generated graphs. I was tripple-booting Linux Windows, and QNX at the time and did the same assignment on each OS (identical hardware). QNX had more sudden transitions between latency levels due to delaying transition later due to smaller cache footprint.

If your userspace NIC driver and TCP/IP stack are implementee as a library and you are running your high performance application on a dual NIC box, your application can be the driver for one of the NICs and the other NIC can handle everything else. It's hard to beat zero copy/zero context switch I/O. Of course, putting the application in the kernel would yet be faster, at least if in both cases the kernek's cache footpint is tiny.

But apart from parks those are places that people have to go to because there aren't any public toilets!

We rest stops, public parks, and fast food in Europe as well. I thought the point of the conversation was about actual public bathrooms, not just private bathrooms people would let you use. Public parks are the only public ones you listed.
Ditto the South East of England. London property is the new Swiss bank account for overseas oligarchs. Commercial property is fine for investment purposes but residential property should obviously be priority for, umm, actually resident people...
Well as a recent college grad, in America here's what i have to say.

Good luck. For us Americans fresh out of university it's a total crap chute. There is practically nothing out there. Most jobs outside of cities require a car, and if you think you can afford a car and place to live (not to mention food and whatnot) then you will be sorely mistaken. Increasingly i personally see people with higher end degrees from good institutions taking near minimum wage jobs in the service or other industries. A college degree in America means next to nothing.

With a diploma in BFA (bachelor fine arts correct?) your highest hope would be a job as a barista or a waiter. unless you are in that .01% of everyone in the arts field and able to somehow get a job out of that.

Your next best bet is work that is ancillary but requires a degree. you can find a paper pushing job somewhere but it is unlikely at entry level that they will sponsor you.

My advice if you are serious about coming to the usa is to start on a student visa and come here for schooling. Good luck paying for that.

my other advice is why does it have to be NYC. there are other cheaper cities that are just as nice if not nicer. NYC is quickly becoming far too overpriced even for the richest, and with its sprawl you will spend a lot of your time just navigating subways.

Philadelphia is a very affordable and fun city. There is also Boston, Miami, DC and many others not on the east coast.

I really hope you do make it here and do get a job. But realistically these are the challenges you face. I have known many people who came here on student visas, graduated got jobs and are now leaving because of king carrots new immigration issues. but that's just my two cents.
Sure, but team management skills often have no application without technical skills to give them context. The best leader in the world (whatever that means) will be severely hampered if they don't understand the problem domain.

In San Diego at least public toilets get used by the homeless and drug users so voters asked for them to be removed. Then the homeless migrate to using fast food toilets, now they are getting keypads, keyed-locks, tokens, or worse having the code on the receipt so you have to buy something first even if you need to really use the restroom first. Frustrating since I am diabetic and use the restroom a lot.

I think the problem is that funds like SoftBank have a very "winner take all" attitude about startups.

These vcs want to pump a company so full of cash that they essentially take market domination of a vertical.
He's referring to the static equilibrium in assumption 1. Supply & demand curves, as drawn in economic textbooks, refer to marginal supply and marginal demand. The X-axis is is quantity, so what the graph is saying is that producing 100,000 units of some good is assumed to cost more than producing 10,000 units, and similarly consumers will be more willing to buy 10,000 units than 1,000 units at a given price (the Law of Downward-Sloping Demand, for those who remember their intro microec).

With assumption 2, he's saying that in software (and many other businesses now), supply curves do not necessarily slope upwards. For software, producing 100,000 units takes exactly as much money as producing 1,000 units, and can be offered at the same cost.

The author (who is Bill Gates, BTW, and can be assumed to know a thing about microeconomics) only alludes to this and doesn't say it outright, but there are a number of knock-on consequences to flat supply curves that explain much of the counterintuitive properties of the tech industry but aren't well-explained by classical economics. For example, the "lottery economy" aspect (where there is one company that ends up dominating a market and the size of that company is dictated only by the size of the market) comes from zero marginal costs: once a software firm has built a solution that satisfies a market, there is nothing stopping it from expanding to serve the whole market far faster than any competitor can enter. The existence of the VC industry follows from this, because when success is binary and can't be interfered with once discovered, it makes sense to spread capital across a number of bets, hoping for a hit, rather than rationally analyze how much additional return invested capital will give in an existing business.

Google & Facebook's dominance also stems from this zero-cost-of-production property. When your cost of production to provide the good or service is zero, then the only thing blocking your continued expansion is finding & convincing potential customers. With CAC forming an increasing percentage of your total marginal costs, any services that lower it or make it scale better can realize huge profits.

Is this really true? I used to live in Berkeley (for college) and my rent was $600. I lived with 4 other people, but it was very livable and comfortable overall, for college at least. This is only a few months ago. I'm not saying housing prices aren't batshit crazy in the Bay Area but it doesn't seem likely to be able to live in Manhattan and fly SF everyday cheaper. I currently live in Boston with a relatively more comfortable housing situation and my rent is $950. I would imagine similar rooms in Berkeley like this would be ~$1200 or something.

I think discussion would be improved with a less polarizing approach. This is just hyperbole.
Yeah that looks like it's always going to be fighting an uphill battle when it comes to the web. Native apps, certainly. But without an order of magnitude more professionalization of the workforce such that they can fight against business and popular trends, we're stuck with what we have.
Works in all browsers, maybe, but certainly not all screen sizes. On my 1080p 5" nexus 5x, opening the page leaves me with unreadably small text. If I zoom in, the text doesn't reflow. So now I need to bounce scrolling around from side to side to read a line of text.

I suspect if I performed the same test in my 1440p 27" monitor, I'd have a surprisingly similar problem, of overly small text in a small box in the centre.

So in reality, while it may have made it super simple to preserve the shape of the Rubik's cube unfolded, it's impeded reading the main content on anything outside the range of a plus side phone to a Macbook's scaled 1440x900 canvas. And really the Rubik's cube could have been just a image (an SVG if you're worried about sharp or selectable text).
First, if the token is easily accessible, then they can steal it even if they don't actually look for it. Like, steal "accidentally". Second, obscurity here is an important part of the security: you don't have to tell anyone that you have a token in the wall, so even if they came specifically for the token, they can surely look for it in your home (because the majority of people store backup token just at home), but it's a lot less likely that they start break walls (unless they specifically know it's there). So here, the level of security is up to the token owner.

As to having to take a sledgehammer: well, losing a token is an emergency situation and I just try hard not to lose it. But if I do, I still have a way out, and breaking a wall a little is still a lot better than losing the access to my accounts.
