You play to the strengths of the part and the interests of the target market.

However the strategy to go with gluing smaller dies together also better fits the (long known) pragmatics of manufacturing processes. This allows AMD to hit lower price points and while getting better margins. It also coincides with Intel being hit with "The Thermocline of Truth" where they were too optimistic about overcoming the challenges of larger die sizes.

I think that's a very good observation, especially given the recent news that as part of musk firing some of the leadership on the project, he wants the satellites to be significantly simpler.
I really wish Android had a global dark mode theme or API where developers could tie it in. I hate having to go into individual apps to enable and only be disappointed that not all devs add this feature. It'd be great if it was just one switch!

Glad they're finally shining light on the situation ;)
You can definitely get off the beaten path in National Parks, it's just that very few people choose to.
A few years ago, I took a car trip out west and went through three or four of them. I was astounded at the level of knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness of every park ranger I met and every service provided at the parks.

Side note: at a lookout at the very top of the Rocky Mountains, I was alone and staring out between two peaks when a ranger came up and started chatting with me and answered a few questions. After several minutes of that, I thanked her and she mentioned she was actually a volunteer. She and her husband did this work for fun for a month or so but, far more interesting, it turns out she lives less than a mile from my house back home!

By the way, if you are 60+, the parks are free but you must apply for a Parks Service card at any park entrance. The regular price, if I recall, is still only $10 or so.
> number 1 seems pretty darn appealing

Ouch. The rich have enough playgrounds already.

2. Lottery or capped reservations.

Zion is just nuts at the moment. It's awesome to see everyone out and about enjoying nature but the amount of people are just overwhelming to the senses. (The park itself seems to be holding up fairly well)

5. Carefully exploit the resources for a few more trails and opportunities.

6. Foreign tourists could be charged a greater amount.
My point was that it was widespread. There are so many small businesses that you don’t need that high a percentage to have bad experiences with sales critters or be conspiracy minded for a lot of people to hear the claim.
The medium redesign is also awful. Its inability to handle my portrait-oriented monitor did trigger a sense of childish amusement (truncating POOR to POO) but it's entirely impossible to read anything using it.
I met a few friends and two ex-girlfriends on OKC and, after returning to online dating recently, I am shocked by how garbage it has become. It definitely used to be a community / social network where conversations were less casual and more in-depth.

It wasn't even elitist or anything, it's just straight up you would actually talk with someone and find out a lot about them before meeting up. Now it's… ergh. Now it's Tinder with a couple of slightly different features.

Does anything like the old OKC still exist? I remember there were a lot of alternatives even back then that were trying to be niche-oriented but AFAIK they all died to make room for OKC.
None of the examples the author shared are usable. They're different just for the sake of being different. This sort of stuff only works for marketing campaigns that have a short shelf-life or maybe art museums.

I'm surprised a bunch of people who call themselves interaction designers put little thought into how people would actually interact with these "web-art" masterpieces.
Civil law has a concept similar to the common law world's respect for prior judicial rulings, but weaker. It's called jurisprudence constante (a French phrase). The impact of a single ruling on future rulings is not huge, but a series of rulings all in accord will be treated as strongly persuasive.

It's still secondary to the statute and not 100% binding, but nevertheless it is a real part of the system.

Also, both the US and Canada have a civil law jurisdiction: Louisiana and Quebec, respectively.

Both do make some use of common law as well, but private law (governing relations between non-state parties) is even now predominantly civil law in both places.

If the original actors in this case were non-state parties, I expect that civil law would be applicable to a hypothetical Quebec version of this dispute. In Louisiana, same thing if the relevant law was at the state level rather than federal. (In Quebec, even federal laws are interpreted using civil law principles when covering private law topics.)
> and one of the "coincidences" that happen after these calls is that 5 star reviews start disappearing. And do you think it is a coincidence that those positive reviews get restored after a business pays for advertising services?

This is hearsay that is quoted in the article you link to, but I would like to see proof of positive reviews being restored after purchasing advertising. This would not be difficult to document if it is happening.

Lawsuits in which Yelp has prevailed are not compelling evidence for the claims of malfeasance.

I would actually argue with #1. The truth is, this appears to be a better tech even if it isn't globally distributed.

Lightweight serverless functions with no cold-start are a really great primitive to build on. We figured them out in this way to enable global distribution, but that's a bonus, not necessary to really love the concept.

I think legality is less the issue and it's more about how ethical this is. Apple is notoriously known for stealing great ideas and integrating them within their ecosystem only to then block others from doing anything remotely similar...
"How many companies inside your computer?" is the more concerning problem to me. But that's just my tinfoil hat talking.
Sweden is no longer ethnically homogeneous; about 17% of the population was born outside of the country. While some of those are from nearby EU countries (Finland and Poland), most are refugees from the Middle East (esp. Syria and Iraq), Africa, and the Balkans resettled under Sweden's generous asylum policies.
If you compare web sites that are hand crafted to web sites created with a CMS and template, of course the hand crafted sites will be more unique. If you want to master design and user interfaces, you must first learn all the rules, but then you must break them!

> At least, I trust it more that the companies GDPR is supposed to protect me from.

Not I when I step back and assess potential and actual harms done. This is especially true the larger-scoped the laws and power given.

> And you're building a strawman with GDPR supporters, I don't think anybody said that nobody would ever try to abuse it.

Right, and the commenter didn't assert they did. The commenter quoted a phrase I too would hear frequently and questioned the trust people place in their institutions. Is there a term for a straw man straw man?

> If the Romanian authorities really manages to get this through and the rest of the Eurogroup doesn't react then yeah

Can the use of it as a threatening tool not be enough to require reaction? Must it get through? Why so much toleration?
Inefficiency and duplication.

One can look at it as at sign of rather efficient ecosystem.

It is so easy to make and distribute certain things so we now have bunch of duplicates which are different on only in some small details.
Yep. Time still passes for photons, but, at a rate so insanely slow in comparison to how we view it.

What's impressive about it? That's a mobile CPU, ~20% slower than the Mini base model. Slower RAM (2400 vs 2666). Two USB3.1 ports vs four in the mini, no Thunderbolt (10gbps vs 40gbps). Weaker GPU, can't output 4K. To top it off, it doesn't come with RAM (+€80 8gb) or an SSD (+€50 128GB).

Total cost €680 vs €899 for the Mac Mini - it actually makes the mini look like an incredible deal.

You need to verify. Either with some questions related to your credit check (like previous addresses, employment history) or physically getting a mail to that address.

A version of this was already possible to do using address forwarding which included same way of verification.

You think that all tech is doing is destroying society?
I completely agree with the thoughts here. I deeply regret going with Kickstarter a few years ago for an eSports related-project (http://www.gameref.io/). I had a lot of media coverage and the community seemed to be excited, even with a few manufacturing deals on the horizon. I was too cocky, thinking "of course I'd get funded on KS" and flopped.

I went with KS in spite of IGG reaching out, saying that they love the project and they would work hard to reach my funding goals. Oh well, c'est la vie. Live and learn :)
Apps don't support multiple tabs.

I'm rarely looking at 1 restaurant at a time, I'm trying to compare 5, or 6 or 10.

The Yelp app has no means of doing that.

Also, I can't easily select some text in the app, like the name of a dish I'm not familiar with, and quickly trigger a web search in another tab to do some quick side reading.

Often not all text in Apps is selectable and copy paste-able.

I have the Yelp app installed, but 9 times out of 10 the browser is how I prefer to use search for restaurants.

Browsers also seem to have better low bandwidth performance than most apps. Probably because doing constrained network communications is hard and only browsers have the billions of reps needed to practice getting it right. With most apps I find that network handling in poor network situations (like is all too common when traveling and looking for a restaurant) is inferior to most browsers.

So yeah, Yelp would definitely win me over if they kept their site browser and low-bandwidth friendly.

Why is there layout on the web at all?

In almost every case, I care about the content, not the particular web site designer’s vision of the “experience”. I don’t want an experience, I want information. I would prefer the content be delivered to my browser with metadata describing what it is, e.g. “news article” or “comment” or “image of purchasable item”, and choose my own experience- that is best for me.

Browsers seem like a silly vanity for me- 90% of the functionality is about allowing a remote party to control my experience. I’d rather control my own.

T2 is Apple’s SSD controller. I suppose Apple does not trust controllers from other manufacturers and has enough data to see that with T2 the storage is sufficiently realible not to warrant an option to replace it even at own service facilities.
While this is "true", this is already happening. In the vast majority of cases, your match's Facebook profile will both be there and have some public information. Also, a huge amount of the lack of safety from potentially fake profiles can be addressed more systematically and in a more scalable way.
I think, on the contrary, it makes it harder. Americans are far more connected with each other than Canadians, even in the so-called flyover states. It's easier and cheaper for someone in LA to visit literally anywhere in the US or vice versa than it is for me in Alberta to go to Toronto.

Hell, it's easier and cheaper for me to go to the US than it is to go to most of Canada. For that reason and a bunch more our own perspective of our own country is often coloured by being seen through an American lens.

Our distance is very real and very practical and we are, imo, less closely knit than the US is in terms of cultural experiences, interpersonal relationships, and expectations of each other.
Ask HN: How do you find ideas and inspiration for your next project?
Facebook cares deeply about "family values." We had to remove the ability for people to mark their profiles "married" or "in relationship" before they'd let us advertise on Facebook.
Oh, which critics were worried about journalists?

I've read most if not all the GDPR topics on HN and all the GDPR critics I've read were basicslly worried about ad-funded businesses or an abstract concept of freedom from government control - as in let the market decide.

So it's far fetched to now claim that everyone was worried about journalism.

Furthermore, this is clearly political power abuse. Apparently the same organisation was raided for a "fraud" investigation. The problem's the corrupt government, not the privacy law.

You are probably joking, but the GDPR (and also the 'right to be forgotten') is not and has never been about the actual memories of a natural person. You diary (if you have one) is also not included in its scope.

From the other side -- Indiegogo is notorious for a number of policies which are friendly to scammers, including:

• Allowing project creators to use 3D renders and concept art to advertise their project, rather than requiring photographs of actual products.

• Making it difficult for users to report projects which are likely to be scams, and failing to respond to these reports.

• Allowing project creators to use "flexible funding" to receive any money donated by backers, even if it did not reach their funding threshold.

As a backer, I treat a project creator's choice to launch on Indiegogo with deep suspicion. While not all Kickstarter projects are legitimate either, the odds are certainly better there.

I concur totally, however think we should add in a caveat that is relevant for this audience: ...only the major consumer tech companies are actually reaping the benefit of applied ML in a way that is profitable.

That's because they have the platforms and applications that people are using at scale. So ML is a force multiplier if you already have a consistent and strong user base for a good product.

If you're trying to get a product or company started, unless you're a pure ML research company like Clarifai (and arguably even then), ML is probably going to cost you more than you gain.
This is awesome. I noticed the "In an Isolate universe you have to either write your code in Javascript (we use a lot of TypeScript), or a language which targets WebAssembly like Go or Rust" -- this is a very interesting statement! Being able to run wasm code means it could be possible to run .NET Core apps (really all I care about in the world right now) using such a system soon, thanks to work done for CoreRT (https://github.com/dotnet/corert)

Really really interested to see where this could lead.
I find if there is something you cannot convince others to change with just words then you need to either make them yourself, or do a proof of concept to get buy in from those you are asking. Otherwise, give up and accept the way things are, or quit.

I've gone the proof of concept route a lot in my career, and it's always worked and usually gives you nice organizational visibility in that you have good ideas to make things better. I also like to attach the improvements to actual numbers like "saved this much time for x devs".

Maybe do new micoservices with this setup made by you, see how it goes, and then show it to them and say "look how much easier this is".

With 32 drives you should have at least 3 failure tolerances. Might even want to plan some hot spares in there. The idea is to build a large file system that won't die and take your data with it - nor introduce downtime (with a suitable failure tolerance). And of course, have an offsite backup for actually backing up your data.

How so? Context switching has a cost, and the solution outlined within seems to achieve similar functionality while not paying nearly as much. The same is true for quota/resource management (what cgroups etc. would provide you with containers on Linux).

I’ve been wondering lately if the reason for the Mac Pro replacement not coming out until 2019 may be due to Apple switching to the 7nm refresh of the AMD ThreadRipper. That would certainly make for some interesting news.

I can't imagine that's true for investigative journalists reporting on corrupt governments. Big corporations do plenty of harm, but mostly in large-scale aggregate effects (like manipulating prices, tracking online behavior to deliver ads, creating filter bubbles in social networks, etc.), but governments can and do throw people in jail or worse.
Good points. I was also surprised the mic didn't just get cut. I'm wondering if someone told the intern to grab the mic, since I agree it's unprofessional. Maybe reaching out the hand was supposed to be more of a prompt to hand it back, but things got heated. What a mess.
What's a good and ergonomic way to attach something like 4-6 HDDs? I'm using HP Microserver Gen8 and it's a wonderful machine but it has its drawbacks. I'm thinking about replacing it, but it's hard to find something of its size and compatible with enough HDDs.

Also the major issue is that I've heard about problems booting Linux on recent macs, but probably it'll be resolved soon.

No it doesn't mention MS Office by name. What is says is:

>Thoughts along these lines usually lead to the Native API conspiracy theory: Microsoft is keeping the API for themselves and their own application to unfair advantage.

From my memory of the discussion back then I think "their own application" was understood as mainly MS Office. The back this up bit more the Analysis of the Inadequacies of Microsoft [1] by the DOJ specifically mentions "the Internet Explorer browser, and Office in desktop applications".

Do you mean total runtime or actual CPU time? Total runtime would be affected by the use cases you mention; CPU time would not (or would not be affected nearly as much, at least). A function waiting on an HTTP response is not burning CPU.
