This was every inch a brutally arrogant and bigoted video.

Watching it it seemed to me it had little to do with anything but the patronizing and condescending view that some people might have of small town America.

It's ironic because the narrow-mindendness with which they painted these ostensible 'small town idiots', was in fact on full display by the authors themselves.

Edit: double irony, it's made by Lycos i.e. one of the emblematic 'dot com crash companies' i.e. yes, they are on to something but are promoting ridiculous valuations trying to punch way, way above their economic weight, and to boot, not seeing the writing on the wall as the search landscape evolved. While Lycos has basically vanished, the auto-shop in my hometown is literally still there, same company though it's changed from one family to another.

Why? VCs might just be not very good at selecting good plays?
NWO changed everything. Lowest common denominator plus the belief that magic players are idiots.

They decided nobody likes stax decks. Then nobody likes land destruction. Then nobody likes combo. Then nobody likes counterspells. Then nobody likes any other kind of control either. Finally, nobody really likes spells. So everything became mid-range and aggro except that aggro generally loses to mid-range.

So just mid-range turn creates sideways and nothing that adds real complexity to the game.

Stopped with standard after RTR and every time I've looked, it's been too unfun for me to drop hundreds of dollars playing standard again.

Try again. Microsoft is complicit in all of this. If you go buy an OEM version of Windows 10 today, even Pro, what you get is a ridiculous set of preloaded games and apps, like Candy Crush, Bubble Witch 3 Saga, Disney Magic Kingdoms, etc.

Its disgusting, and everyone who works at Microsoft should be ashamed of it.

> Of course, tape, the subject of TFA, is even better. $17k

> LTO-8 drives are $2700 and 12TB cartridge are $170.

What I initially ignored was the cost of a "library" (robot), which is, arguably, necessary if the minimum time to write a tape is over 9 hours (longer than a standard workday, meaning 1PB could take 17 workweeks to write with a single drive with no robot).

Including a library to hold all 84 cartridges might be tricky, but it appears there are 80-slot ones in the $12k range, which brings the total tape price up to $29k and reduces the write time to under 5 weeks.

Alternatively, one could just buy multiple tape drives and no robot. $25k gets faster write time than above.

If they'd just make the content available on Spotify, which all of my pirate friendly but otherwise non-technical friends use, they'd have their conversion. Piracy continues to solve the discovery and "listen to just this one song I like" problem that the industry ignores, and until the paid options are as useful as the pirate versions, the battle will continue.

(Also, I'm ignoring some philosophical things: I like to own things and not stream them for bandwidth reasons, and tech folks tend to not like DRM, but the general public doesn't seem to care much about those things.)
Are you saying that there is an epidemic of polyamorous, rich, good looking men? In my experience, men dating multiple women at once, while it does happen, is not very common. Same goes for women. If people mostly pair off 1:1, this hypothesis that a small percentage of men control a large percentage of women (occupy chad street?) doesn’t really make any sense.
You missed my point.

> In that case, what is Chromebook's advantage over the competition?

Chromebooks are not about the price. There are plenty of affordable alternatives. They are about having to do zero maintenance.

They installed the moment it saw a network connection which was before I even finished setup because it set that up during the OOBE.

That setting does not seem to have any effect on Candy Crush, Twitter, etc. on a default install.

Yes it is but not on my £2500 business laptop. Unless I specifically install it to use.

>My android phone came with a ton of crap, my amazon tablet had a bunch of amazon crap.. i don't really think showcasing the marketplace of the hardware you have selected is that evil - especially since its easy to customize if it really bothers you.

I am not talking about Android or Amazon though am I?

But if you want to bring up Android - My Pixel 2 XL didn't come with a bunch of third party apps and/or adverts for their own, not free, software. Sure it came with some Google specific apps but that is why I didn't list OneNote, Edge, Groove Music or Photos in my list of Windows 10 apps as they are understandable to include even if I have no use for them.

And allow me to bring up my MacBook Pro which didn't come with any third party apps and/or adverts for their own, not free, software. In fact the only thing it comes with is macOS and the iWorks suite (free btw). And if you do a clean install of macOS yourself you don't even get iWorks pre-installed, you have to manually grab them again from the App Store.

The Windows experience is horrible out of the box even on a "signature edition" system. Yes you can go in and "fix" things with PowerShell scripts and changing a few options in Settings.appx but my point is that shouldn't be needed on a so called 'professional' operating system that comes on a £2000+ computer direct from Microsoft.

Ask HN: Is the new MacBook Pro worth its value for a developer?
Hello,

I'm looking around for a new work setup for a software development environment. I can choose freely both for software and for hardware and since I like macOS and use it myself for quite some time the choice seemed obvious.

My problem is, for a decent upgrade both in RAM and disk space I have to go for a $2199 model (the new MacBook Pro touch bar with 16GB RAM and 512GB disk) which seems to leave almost no budget left for anything besides the monitor.

So, having said this, I do have a question: do you believe that this year's MacBook Pro is worth this value? I'm willing to give up some things from my setup (likely a usb-c dock that I'll buy on my own later for example) if it really means I'm getting a laptop that's worth it.

The primary reason I'm inclined to go with this year's model is the T2 chip that I believe to be of significant value for its added security during boot, Touch ID, disk encryption and camera and microphone processing. This is something I personally value but I wasn't able to find much technical reviews about this chip that would prove its worth to me.

I don't particularly care for the touch bar (I admit it may be useful, but in my opinion they should've only added it above the function keys and only if it didn't mean a great bump in price) so, apart from the reason above I'd be open to choose another model.

What's your opinion on the current MacBook Pro offering?

PS: I do have to say though that all their pro hardware seems to be very overpriced for their current offerings and even though I love their products I have to admit that if I really were in the market for a personal laptop, I'd have a very difficult time choosing myself between a Mac or a PC.

I want Chromebooks to dominate the consumer market, to be honest. Hopefully that will push Windows towards dropping bloated consumer-focussed features in lieu of a leaner OS aimed more squarely at the professional market. Currently installing Windows 10 Pro fresh installs an unimaginable quantity of crap. Why is Minecraft on a 'pro' install, and pinned to the Start Menu?

I was. And all that might even be relevant if you weren't comparing Tesla to Apple.

The iPhone actually launched in 2007, the same year in which Apple generated over $24B in revenue and was sitting on $15B in cash at the end of the fiscal year. In 2008, they did $37B in revenue and ended the fiscal year sitting on about $25B in cash.

The claim that Apple's financial challenges with launching a smartphone were "exponentially" greater than Tesla's, is laughable.

Seriously don't take an ordinary passenger car up a dirt logging road in the Cascades, Oregon coast mountains, or Olympic peninsula mountains in mid Winter unless you are intimately familiar with the entire road, and have driven it many times before.

Robert Morris' case is an interesting one.

A consistent route for every packet in a flow is considered desirable, but it's not an entitlement or a requirement of the IP protocol. An DDOS prevention tool that insists that TTL be the same for every packet is broken. Here's one that checks for inconsistent TTL, but it has some tolerance for variation.[1] The one mentioned in the original post didn't like a difference of 1 in TTL.

I've just put this complete thread as a link into my Netsso, to study later. If I want to avoid future link rot, I tell Netsso to "save content" to my Dropbox/ GoogleDrive/OneDrive. In doing that, I could also click to encrypt each file separately, with a 40 character unique password,that only I know, and only decrypts on my local machine. Netsso remembers the passwords but only I know them !.It stores any type of document, any url. I load files from my computer to my Dropbox, and immediately link them to my Netsso, so I can access them on any device without formally opening the Dropbox. Online Note-making, with rich text, images included, even videos. Save any new urls with quick click/copy/paste. Add 400 character description to a link, to include in later search. Very sophisticated categorisation, sharing (even encrypted notes), drag/drop, inbuilt credentials for apps, etc (i.e password management included)...8000 links so far. Preview or Open on line, download, edit. Also I have a sharing version for Teams, with same functionality (plus encrypted Chat). Built for private,personal use - all my web knowledge available anywhere- but very easy to share links, or collections of links, if required. I can also Back Up complete collection to any computer in seconds, encrypted by my master password. Netsso seems to be a unique combination of bookmarker, online file creator and manager, internet file security enhancer and team collaborator.
No, it was symptomatic of a declining dynasty, it didn’t cause the decline in the first place. And even then, it wasn’t as comprehensive as you describe, the Japanese did way more damage to the Qing than the british did.
Eh, it’s not totally crackpot. If you knew something about the physics and initial conditions of the child universe you could “stir the pot” enough with your signal (whatever mechanism it is) to trigger natural processes of complexity formation which eventually leads to life (e.g. make sure galaxies form fast enough in the early universe to create heavy metals before inflation pulls everything apart), then project a compressed scan of your consciousness as a signal on the background radiation. Eventually intelligent life will form, find it, get curious about its structure, decipher it, and simulate it.

Makes good hard science fiction. Not something I’d give high priors for having actually happened, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t look.

This is a sure way they'll never learn the real thing. I know since I'm sitting next to a (young but talented) guy who knows only Spring and JPA, and freaks out all the time because the developer of the legacy system had dared to assemble SQL queries manually in the code (which are complex enough I personally hadn't bothered using JPQL in a trial-and-error development model either).

Wasn't the post exactly about not wasting novice and other developer's time with crap criteria APIs and such? Just compare the sheer size of the SQL spec or reference manual against the shallow description of JPQL to judge which language you should be using for a project with any kind of depth.

My guess would be that the music industry would rather point people at the download sites, that can be stopped with a court-order than point people at youtube-dl, which would require more effort to suppress.

I would also argue the music industry cares more about control than about raw sales. This is because, they aim for: A. a fixed tax of "what you're willing to pay for entertainment" from everyone in a given country, B. an ability to manage trends and use that trend management to bring residuals (movies, toys, fashion-shoot, whatever for their established artists). C. a strong bargaining position versus their artists - the more they can say "we made you, we can break you and replace you", the more leverage they have in negotiations.
It would be useful to have a guide like this for a scientific field, since a lot of things coders take for granted like SO etc does not exist and a lot of knowledge in the field is hidden behind complicate democracy language or secretive authors.
It doesn't take an enormous amount of power to move a big ship very very slowly; Froude's law, the first approximation of the relationship, scales power requirements with velocity squared.

A Maersk Triple E has two up-to-30MW-each engines and a design speed of 19 knots. You'd scale down speed by a factor of 12 to achieve 1.6 knots (0.8m/s), and out of that you would get to scale down power by a factor of 144 to meet your ~400kw solar power endowment.

The question is whether you can cross the most powerful currents, and at 1.6 knots you would certainly need to be cognizant of them to stand a chance, but you could ford them in the manner of fording a river: Get pushed downstream a bit, but cross the highest velocity area perpendicular.

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/gdp/images/climatology.jpg

The Maersk Triple E and huge bulk carriers are practically worst-case-scenarios for solar, because there's so much ship to displace water under every square meter of solar. A smaller lighter catamaran is likely to find itself with dramatically higher speeds, albeit not linearly higher with hull depth, since a longer waterline is more efficient.

I'm not suggesting this is practical. I think massive nuclear powered cargo ships capable of high speed is a hell of a lot more practical in a post-carbon world. But again: it's not nothing.
> If Tesla is the first to crack autonomy they will win, regardless of ride-hailing.

I think that's a bit strong. People don't replace their cars all that often, and no massive increase in demand for Tesla's cars is going to cause their production numbers to jump.

If they get full autonomy out five years ahead of Waymo and Cruise (good luck), they still probably won't win a dominant share of the market longer-term.

> If Tesla doesn't crack autonomy they're likely to go under

Shrugs, I think autonomy could seriously hurt them, whoever invents it. Tesla builds "a better car" -- nice acceleration, clean interface, more reliable -- and autonomous ride-hailing in cities essentially leads to the cars themselves not being an important point of differentiation.
Social skills are an interface, a communications protocol. That is necessary but not sufficient. You also have to have something substantive to say over that channel - an attractive personality, an interesting life. When that’s missing, mere presence and conversation don’t make anyone involved any less lonely.
I believe people want to promote/support their values and it's the same with the governments. U.S. always tried to install democracies (i.e after ww2, Afganistan) but I've never seen a dictatorship installing or promoting democracies.
