The narrative shifts constantly because the narrative is anti-Tesla. So it has to shift, whenever they make it past another hurdle. It started with them being ridiculous for even trying to make an electric car. Then it became that they couldn't mass produce. Now they are being mass produced. It sometimes shifts towards their safety, but it isn't a preferred avenue of attack because the stats show that the cars are safer than other vehicles, which produces cognitive dissonance in people who are mislead as to the true nature of the news they are hearing about Tesla.
I dropped Gmail years ago, but mostly because my only real reason for still having a google account at all was reader. By that point gmail had just become my spam bin

These days I host my own anyway, and have a blargh@host mail account I use to sign up for things (typically blargh+thewebstie@host so I can track who is selling email addresses)
Yes, it's pretty much the opposite of a dielectric. It's a good conductor with mobile charges, and cannot support any polarization.

How is this so? No one's ever mentioned this when talking about stolen laptops. They talk about high level software like Prey or whatever Apple uses. How would you use this to find your laptop? There's a central server that almost every laptop on earth talks to? Seems highly doubtful.
My opinion: text should never be aligned to right as the keywords here are.
Nah. Mac users who pay for software are a different demographic than their iOS counterparts in my experience. Such Mac users are usually professionals who pay a little extra for the reliability and quality and attention to detail that Mac apps have been know for for a while now.
I think Apple products are actually better, maybe not so much because of Apple but because their competitors suck.

Android is terrible, I mean, it’s looking more and more like iOS, but it’s still not iOS and it has no privacy if you want to use the official play store (which you want, because all the apps that actually make your phone smart, only live there). Android phones still die after a few years, my iPhone 5s is still a beast.

Laptops, well the surface book is arguably a great device, but it’s also more expensive than a MacBook Pro and doesn’t come with a thunderbolt port. The XPS is decent, but it’s build quality is Dell terrible. Lenovo might make good laptops, but working for the government, I’m not allowed to own one.

Apple has the only working Bluetooth devices on the planet. The magic keyboard and especially the AirPods always work, I can’t say that about anything else.

Plug and play egpu, who else has one?

I think the only place Apple isn’t actually best at what they do is in competition on software services like AI. Siri is terrible, Apple maps are terrible (why aren’t they just using OSM at this point? I’m sure OSM and Apple could find a way to benefit from each other, and OSM is currently better than google maps).

I may sound like an Apple fanboy, and I am, but I’ve become that way because their shit always works right out the damn box. And I’ve never had a piece quit on me by it’s own. I bought a MacBook Pro 2018 edition to work with the egpu, but my old 2013 macbook still runs perfectly fine. I can’t say I’ve ever tried any thing similar, except for thinkpads, and I’m not allowed to own one of those. Meanwhile my 1 year old work laptop from Dell is literally falling apart. The keyboard rattles, the battery lock is breaking and the screen can’t keep itself up. It cost almost as much as my MacBook, and it’s just complete shit. You may wonder why I care about cost of my work machine, but I’m a manager, I still pay for it.

As far as OSes go, Linux is still Linux, if you don’t mind spending half your life configuring it to your needs and then doing it every time it breaks then Linux is still awesome. Windows, the only plug and play option, however, has become atrociously bad. I like Microsoft, we use Azure a lot and stuff like AD and ADFS is heaven sent when you operate 500 different IT systems from as many suppliers, but windows 10 is one of the worst OSes I’ve ever operated. So again, Apple has managed to be great at OSes, mainly because their competitors suck.

I do think not having an iPhone SE is a mistake, but I also thought losing the headphone jack was a mistake, and sales have since proved it wasn’t, so who knows.
Emphasis on reasonable. If you limit workers' access too much for them to do their jobs they will find creative workarounds. Some of those can be more dangerous than just giving them the access that they need in a way that you control. Examples being if you make it so that the only way developers can debug a system is by adding in backdoors, or if you lock down the network so much that they need to use an unsecured public network to do their work. I've seen those things happen. Developers and IT need to work together, not be adversaries.
The FTC chooses who they really go after and who they don't. And that's at their discretion. It's not a lie that the FTC has done nothing. They have glazed over on the fact that Google owns 90%+ of the search engine market. That's a monopoly. The Democrats of the early 20th century would have gone ape shit over a company with the size and power of Google. Take a look at FDR's actions, for example:

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/06/word-mo...

Google makes Ma Bell look like a tiny tyke by comparison. Their position and influence over the modern internet is in a word, scary. There's no check on their power, and the Obama administration did nothing to check said power. I don't care what rubber stamps or certificate of approvals they got. Google is a monopoly. It's fine if the Democrats have abandoned that principle. Totally fine. But don't call that analysis dishonest.

Also, I'm not the only one mentioning this:

This is useful, but not obviously good. It's good only if it's securely implemented, but as a user, I'm not sure. I've disabled Computrace on every laptop I own, and now stopped worrying about it after installing coreboot.
I would suggest you wait until 2.0 is a bit more mature. It’s fun, but there’s still a lot missing (that appears to be in 1.6)
Anecdote for anecdote, I have.
Wow, we've posted the same points within the same minute...
Maybe someone needs to invent a USB-based thumb drive reader that only allows generic mass storage devices to be attached but does not work as a hub, rather as a proxy device.

Bonus points: don't mount the drive directly, instead connect it to a centralised server on the corporate network that scans for threats and mounts a sanitised version of the drive's contents as a network share.

Triple word score: audit everything contained on every drive and everything that is copied on and off.

Sell that for $200 per unit to Fortune 500 companies and paranoid government agencies worldwide... and you'll retire early.
I suppose the unfortunate thing is, that isn't his role. He can still do engineering work when he has the time, but me, the SEC, and most other humans understand the CEO of a public company has actual responsibility towards operations. Part of that means, he might not being doing his job great if he works his employees 90 hours a week and pretends they don't exist when he wants to brag on the radio. Being kind and generous with well deserved praise costs nothing and actually benefits both the company and the humans making the company work.

The letter was from Stephen again, identified only as “MIT Logo Laboratory.”

”Texas Instruments is a very generous friend of MIT, and some people here are embarrassed about a situation that might threaten one of its sales programs. So, in an effort to appease its corporate friend, MIT has been stalling the distribution of Apple Logo.”

Obama, the then Candidate, publicly admitted he "inhaled". People voted for him and made him the President. Elon on a show smoked once and explicitly said it is not productive and he never smokes weed at all. Some how it is a topic of discussion every where and he lost his mind and what not. Double standards !
No one is perfect. Perhaps we should look past flaws like this when more important problems are handled with skill.
Its hard to disagree with the comments.

Somethings are just not worth doing, regardless of whatever little virtue fight is at stake. Punish Musk and you handover the keys to the auto-industry kingdom to Germany and Japan on a platter.

You also risk scaring away, Musk like entrepreneurs to other countries. Emmanuel Macron wants to set up a SV competitor in France, and UK tops the world in quality universities. Germany too could put up a tough fight. Most of the world already has infrastructure to dethrone SVs dominance over creating high quality value and leadership. This is beyond countries like India and China having millions of super hungry entrepreneurs wanting to prove themselves.

Even if there is small chance of this happening, you risk losing trillions of dollars of future worth economy, talent, IP, ecosystem and culture to competing countries.

And all of this for what? A few overzealous prosecutors and short sellers on the market, all of whom are inconsequential and sometimes even a net negative to the economy.

In my country(India). Plenty of small to even large business people are known to indulge in blatant corrupt practices. Government does nothing because you rather have them at home, than compete with someone like them in a competing country.

Prosecuting Musk will make US Justice system win a tiny inconsequential virtue war, but it will be massive shooting in the foot at the country level.

Don't forget the idiots who fly drones at forest fires, which several times last year resulted in fire-fighting tanker planes being diverted away.

I've heard people say that keeping the tankers away when a drone is in the same airspace is an overreaction, but those people are not thinking it through.

There are several factors that make fire-fighting flights very difficult for the pilots.

1. They are flying very low.

2. The air over and around large fires is often very turbulent.

3. The plane is heavily loaded, making it less nimble than normal, and making maneuvers put much more stress on the plane than they would on a less loaded plane.

The pilots are in a dangerous, stressful situation that requires their upmost concentration. Anything that distracts them is dangerous.

If you understand computer science and design, there are some claims the LN team makes which will never be possible.

The lightening network inherently suffers from limitations on transaction rates and an inability to scale up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

It's one of the most basic computer bugs, and LN design is incompatible with a fix for race conditions due to decentralization.

There's also the aspect that the Lightening Network's design inevitably turns it into a banking network, designed to extract fees for the wealthy.

That's like asking what LSP is missing that visual studio provides.

Slime is a full-blown IDE that just happens to be implemented in elisp.

That being said, LSP doesn't do anything for providing indentation rules to editors; editors not named "emacs" are at best poor at indenting lisp code, and many modern editors do not provide pluggable indentation. Because of the fewer distinct visual blocks in lisp, properly indented code is important for readability.

I think the main reason an LSP hasn't been implemented for lisp is that nobody that has the skills to make one has any use for one.
> That's funny, because the goal is often to get at the truth. Is that an agenda you find objectionable?

Yes, I think that's the wrong agenda to have when you're collaborating on software. A pull request shouldn't normally be an interrogation to figure out whether the person who wrote the code is lying.

Apple controls MacOS and iOS. They can make iOS support kb & mouse, even if initially focused on Apple apps like Terminal, Mail & office.

Windows on Arm is forced to use an emulation layer because the majority of Windows apps are x86. The majority of Apple apps are already on Arm.

Cannibalization is done to a smaller market in order to reach a larger market. Which market is larger for Apple?

Apple can do both: low-cost 2018 Arm iOS laptop and premium 2019 Arm MacOS Macbook (when Marzipan is ready to bring iOS apps to x86).
Kind of a shame that security houses are doing legitimate research, but the products they release just don't have the same effectiveness they used to. If sales of antivirus is dropping, where will they get their funding from? Perhaps there needs to be some new approaches to anti-virus. The old fire and forget method doesn't work anymore, and lots of people/organisations don't realise that yet. But it won't be like that forever.
> I don't think you appreciate what a CS degree means.

Yeah, I will admit am not too keyed up on what a CS degree entails. I thought it was like CS 101, CS advanced or something like that, some other choice of CS electives like visual programming, and then the usual course load that is required for most other degrees like English, etc. I know for certain though, just by looking through some of the videos on MIT's opencourseware and Harvard's videos and problem sets for their beginning CS course, that the even if you could get a perfect score on your AP computer science exam you could easily be unprepared for advanced programming classes at university. I don't think an exam and a high school cs class is anywhere near enough to be worth college level cs credit.
Any one experienced the News app not syncing between Mojave and iOS 12?
Apples been trying to push the sidebar thing for a few years now on general Mac apps. It started as an evolution of the Finder sidebar and was named “source lists” for a short while and now it’s just called Sidebar in the default View too menu for new apps. Every time I go to use Notes on Mac I get confused by the two sidebars. Hopefully they calm down on their sidebar mania a bit soon. The web is a great proving ground for hierarchical organization of widgets and information, and I hope Apple can be humble and take notes from conventions that are popping up and sticking around about how to do “multiple sidebars” a little smarter.

> Every time I've priced out a laptop with similar configuration to my MBP

Which one is that? Until this past July, they were consistently a CPU generation behind every other brand on the market.

I paid $800 (I think it was $899 retail) for my current 13" Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop. It has an i7/DDR4 RAM vs the i5/DDR3 in the MBP, but given the slower hard drive, let's call it even.

The comparable MBP is $600 more at $1,499.00. The display is no doubt better, but I don't know that it justifies that much more money.

Scaling a blog is not a big of an issue these days. Even with Wordpress, caching and other optimizations should not be a hassle. There are also many other alternatives in the static-site realm.

Blogger is not as good an option as it was before. It was an attractive buy for google at the time of the acquisition. But now they have stopped using it even for their own blogs. I wouldn't be surprised if Google decides to shut down blogger in the near future.

All they need to do is see what wifi connections I can reach on my phone. In any urban area you can easily reach 50+ wifi connections standing in one spot. If google knows X wifi connection corresponds to Y range of a physical location because of someone else left their location and wifi on, then they can tell that if I can reach 4 or 5 different wifi connections at once then I must be at a certain address.

It's probably not reasonable to believe all calls are recorded by Microsoft. The storage required would be huge, so there would need to be a business case to justify the expense.

However, it almost certainly reasonable to assume Microsoft can and do record any call that interests them or any outsider they have to / want to please.

Raiblocks aka Nano is a scam.

"Distribution is complete" - how was the supply created and distributed?

Hint, the supply was "premined" and a the creator chose to gift a very small percent of the supply out to users in order to incentivize them to promote it.

You can not mine or create nano (raiblocks), you must purchase it from the dev who created the supply.

Trouble is that the same corporation has the following additional policies:

* A ban on mail attachments of certain types (excel, zip files...)
* mailbox limits from the 1990’s (100MB or so)
* a ban on Dropbox, Gdrive or any other file sharing service
* No public facing sftp or similar
* A web site so mired in red tape that it takes 6 months and a dozen approvals to get anything uploaded.

Often the USB drive or something similar is the only way for employees to actually do their jobs.
You’d hope that’s unlikely, but unfortunately it is not. Microsoft left a backdoor in UEFI/Bootlocker to specifically support this.

It’s also had a history of major security issues, and a vendor who does not understand how to deal with vulnerability reports.

They aren’t on Apple laptops though, just most OEMs.

Personally, I think it’s absolutely fantastic that this has finally been publicly exploited in the wild and repurposed for malicious purposes, because this was called out as an obvious threat almost 10 years ago now, and none of the vendors took it seriously or cared. Now they can’t ignore it with the “we have no reports of any customers being attacked” deflection and they will likely face far more scrutiny. It’s just like what happened with the Intel ME staying under the radar for so long, but at least to Intel’s credit, they actually attempted to build security in.
If you're a fishing guide, or like fishing, would you use this?
I’m evaluating an idea for a service to help fishing guides and people find fishing guides easily. The basic gist of the idea is Airbnb/Angies List for Fishing Guides or amateur fishing guides, so anyone who is a guide, or who wants to become a guide, can market themselves and book clients on the platform. They have a standalone website by simply creating a profile, putting up their best pictures, and allowing people to review them after going on trips with them.

Is this something that you guys would use, either as a guide or as a customer? I want to get some feedback on this idea so please let me know what you think if you go to the page.

"long" is a misleading label for someone buying for the purpose of being immediately bought out.

Also someone that bought stock in that period would have lost something like 355->320 which is only 10%.

If someone leveraged up to take advantage of a short-term pricing condition then they get vastly reduced sympathy no matter which direction their position was.
No. This is wrong. I have built a handful of "gaming" rigs for Windows 10 over the last couple of years, and every single one of them had egregious, stupid problems with the hardware. I hate this bullshit "Nothing is wrong with Windows" thing when there are clearly an increasingly substantial number of people hitting catastrophic issues with brand new versions of Windows and regular, everyday hardware. I have been building computers for a quarter of a century, and I know what I'm talking about. Windows 10 has problems with mundane hardware. Onboard ethernet NIC, sound, wireless adapter, and of course the GPUs. Windows 10 has had problems with all of it. Even when Windows is "working correctly" it's hosing people's setups. Or are you going to deny that MS pushed forcible updates that bricked customer machines, too?
