This is a great story of love. Mine is kind of the opposite...

My ex-wife got early onset rheumatoid arthritis. It took a long time to diagnose, but once we did, it was a relief to know what we needed to treat. We spent years going doctors, trying various medications and generally taking care of her health with no expense spared. Eventually, despite all of our efforts, our relationship grew further and further apart and I finally asked to separate (after about 10 years together). It was the most difficult thing I've ever done, partly because it was traumatic to let go of someone who was sick.

As crazy as it sounds, after we separated, she found a shaman in the jungles of Peru and moved there from San Francisco to be healed. Today, she shows no signs of RA (has even come back to the US a few times for 'real' testing) and she is healthy and happy. I now live in Vietnam and I'm happier than I've ever been in my life.

Despite all the difficulties, separation was the best for both of us. We are still friends and keep in touch online.
Paradise is small mountain retirement town situated between two canyons. Very wooded, most roads aren't wide and don't have sidewalks, mostly wooden houses and mobile homes. Essentially a forest full of homes. From what I can tell from personal and firsthand accounts the fire was burning in places all across town within 3 hours. The whole town of 27,000+ people needed to leave at once, a very challenging situation.
There is a keyboard you can download that takes pencil handwriting as input. In practice it just wasn't compelling.
The fact you see them as Jews and not just People shows your anti-Semitic bias to be honest.
Can you provide some info into how you typically use trackpoint. Which fingers do you use and how do you control the acceleration when going few pixels away or whole screen corner to corner. What about the clicks.

I have a thinkpad and am always curious on how to effectively use it. Even a video of someone using it might help.
Not to be pedantic, but the Fat Mac was just the original Macintosh with more RAM. Same form factor, nothing otherwise different. But I get what you're saying.
The biggest issue is relatives. All you need is one person relatively closely related to you to openly post their DNA on a genealogy site and someone searching only has a handful of people to narrow down from.[0]

I used 23andme years ago, using a fake name on the website and a kit ordered by someone else (a friend ordered kits). I should see if I can use their GDPR process to purge it before any relatives give it a shot and start a scandal about the presence of John Doe in the family tree.

I accidentally dropped my work 2015 MBP a few months back and broke the screen. Actually, I'm not even certain the screen was dead, but the display wouldn't turn on any more. Unfortunately, work wouldn't let me keep/fix it (which is super annoying), but they did offer me the choice of a new MBP or a slightly loved older 2015 MBP. I chose the latter.

For my home laptop, I'm finally getting around to replacing my mid-2009 MBP and decided to go with a Lenovo X1 Carbon Extreme. I'm so annoyed at Apple at this point that I figure it's time to go back and give Linux another shot.

Using any genomics is an 'admission' of preexisting condition as a genomic guilt. This $200 is proof you know what diseases you might contract, and this serves as information asymmetry that insurance companies have illegalized.

If I could have this done, say, in Russia or China, and the results destroyed after completed, I'd consider it.

I know that half of my genetic map has already been infiltrated with my mom using 23andme. I felt quite violated when my mom did that. I certainly had no choice. And yet, half of me is sitting in some database, where I have absolutely no say.

And my dad's dead, so no non-degraded DNA there. I guess if my sister ever has the money and want, then more of my map will be known.
There's a few issues in play:
(1) the content of the story,
(2) the presentation of the story,
(3) the intent to mislead.

You've focused on 1 and then used 2 against critics: 'smear people for telling the truth'. But doesn't that criticism apply to the original stories about Soros? How do you tell a smear from a balanced story? Doesn't that require understanding who is telling it and what they have at stake? In which case, 3 becomes relevant.

Also, you've pulled a straw-man on the anti-semitic front: that's not part of the article or argument. Pragmatically, a well-intentioned actor would show an effort to make criticism explicitly anti-semitic, given the racist undertones to large parts of the discussion.

It could definitely be done, but not making an effort on that part _when it is your job to know how the communication will be received_ is a signal that you don't mind the inference being made.

They might not be implying something racist, but they know others will infer something racist and they still went ahead. Do you think that is acceptable behaviour?
I noticed some jeans I bought a while ago had a label that said they were made in Lesotho (which is not in Asia).

A motorcycle I owned in 2009 was made in Thailand.

A car I owned in 2011 was made in South Africa.

These are all things being imported into the US.

China and India make a lot of things because they are big, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world does nothing or that tomorrow large parts of the world will close up shop.

I've noticed the same pattern. There must be something to it.
Git did beat both of the other main contenders in the DVCS space (Darcs, Mercurial) hands down when it came to performance around the time it rose to prominence, so I think it's unfair to say that it had no technical superiority.
At a glance this looks neat. But don't you think it's odd that WP doesn't have built in security of a similar nature?
Welp. It's fairly ubiquitous.
So you're saying it'll take 2-3 decades? Sounds like you're agreeing that it won't go anywhere fast and instead will take 20-40 years?

I get the vibe that Bloomberg (the news) is very supportive of the trade war in the sense that all the related headlines I've seen seem to emphasize the positives to America and the negatives to China. Too lazy to dig up references right now. By comparison, the NYTimes seems more balanced. Am I wrong?

> Any talk otherwise is delusional hanging on to a mythical era of corporate responsibility that has never actually existed.

While I think this is correct in the most general sense -- examples throughout history of the old consolidative robber barons, GE destroying the streetcar for its own benefit, etc -- one thing that has changed in the last 30-40 years is the change in mentality and priorities of the average shareholder and the average corporation. John Kay gives an example in his book, Other People's Money, comparing the change in chemical company ICI's annual shareholder reports:

1987: ICI aims to be the world's leading chemical company servicing customers internationally through the innovative and responsible application of chemistry and related science... Through achievement of our aim, we will enhance the wealth and well-being of our shareholders, our employees, our customers, and the communities which we serve and in which we operate.

1994: Our objective is to maximise value for our shareholders by focusing on businesses where we have market leadership, a technological edge and world competitive cost base.

Kay goes on to attribute the change in the rise of financialisation and deregulation in the 80s and 90s, as well as the wide adoption of technically rigorous but conceptually questionable financial economics innovations like the efficient market hypothesis, Harry Markowitz model, Black/Scholes for pricing derivatives, and Ramsey/Savage's subjective utility. He also cites the rise of "I'll be gone, you'll be gone" trading culture on Wall Street, explaining traders are incentivized only to pad their own bonuses with no regard for the bigger financial picture.

It may be that there was no mythical corporate responsibility at the top level, but I think it's important to understand that there are underlying structural changes that have spread the poison of financialization to the point where even good actors in corporate America are now incentivized to behave in ways that don't support the public interest. And in my view, the most appalling changed, is the modern inability for muckraking journalists to create public outcry and political will to regulate the worst of the bad actors.
I'm a huge fan of the new service workers functionality. Between it, and local storage, you can write offline web apps, which offer native app like functionality.
> Automation is a good thing for humanity

Well, only if it serves the common goal of humanity... which at the present doesn’t seem like anything coherent.
You and your parent comment are both right. They certainly are different skills, and yes, some people possess both sets of skills.
This will be hard to describe. I'll try.

Treat it as a tiny proportional joystick, which it is. I use index finger of dominant hand. Press hard and it'll fly the cursor across the screen. Press gently and it'll give excellent precision. If you keep overshooting, you haven't adjusted to gently enough. It is less movement and more thought for pixel perfect precision as you can barely feel any feedback but still get movement.

I always have to turn up acceleration, but rarely sensitivity, in Trackpoint settings a notch or two for my own preference. For me, if I turn sensitivity down, it ruins it. YMMV.

I will left, right and middle click with thumbs as they're just below space and land there naturally.

Thumb on middle and drag to scroll at pressure sensitive speed for as long as you press. No need to "reset" when you reach the end of trackpad or finger on scrollwheel. Two thumbs and index finger means select and paste are almost as fast as vi-only approaches, as it's placed so you're essentially still typing. :)

You might want to add that video, without the audio to this - as audio recording issues vary state by state and by different situations / parameters, public or not.

There could be other issues to mention such as someone being topless behind a fence is expecting a certain amount of privacy, even if it's easy for you to see because you are on the second floor nearby, and things like that.

There are other sensitive areas that are posted prohibited as well.

Some of these things have not been to court in various areas or circumstances to really see how "right to photograph" applies in various places / different people.

Certainly one might expect that people on public payroll in a public place should expect certain transparency in actions, however upskirt filming marilyn manson in line at a burger king may lend to some issues (civil and criminal in some juristictions).

I think some also have 'rights to their likeness" in various ways and copyright issues as well. Paparazzi may have lawyers who are willing to make it expensive to debate some issues, however filming a phish concert or other performance from a hill and sharing the video on social media is likely to raise a different team of lawyers who would be happy to have such a debate in courts.

So, there may be certain established freedoms to record many things in the US in many places, with some case law to back it up, I don't think it's good advice to say "you can record anything you want in public" and have people not be aware of a multitude of issues that could arise.

I believe private property owners can even sue if you use their barn in a photo in some cases.

However I must admit it's been more than a decade since I really looked into these things, and have only skimmed some articles relating to this issue in the past few years, mostly to do with filming public employees, so definitely not legal advice or anything, etc.
the article mentions concerns over telco equipment; so it seems to be about their routers, not the phones.
I wonder if they will spin off the phone business, as it seems to be turning into 'collateral damage', at least in Nato countries, that is.

It hapenned to me on two different occasions that I've been discussing a topic with a friend (one that I never searched for) that was later shown to me as an ad. In one particular case he told me of metal casted spinners (like the one in Ibception). About two days later I saw an ad for this. I don't believe this could be a coincidence.
> I already cannot easily add a root CA for .onion addresses and then make my own certs there, without browsers screaming bloody murder.

How would you want this to work? What would you want to do, and what would you want browsers to do in response?
> Yet we have photos and video of US “customs” intercepting Cisco shipments and loading backdoored firmware or tampering with the hardware. They boast about it.

Having your shipments intercepted en-route by spies is very different than directly cooperating with those spies. None of those interceptions required cooperation by Cisco.

Cisco complained to the government about the interceptions: https://www.recode.net/2014/5/18/11627004/in-letter-to-obama...

Apple has also famously resisted government demands to develop a backdoor for its hardware. IIRC, all indications were that the government's demands would have been rejected by the court system had the case progressed far enough to provide a definitive answer.
Confessions of a Digital Spouse
This was going to be my point. AWS delivers a minimum viable product and heavily iterates on it. Usually features are prioritized over "upgrade the piece of shit angular app we use for the console."

I might run through the console to learn how something works, but in general I'm interacting with AWS through a terminal, and doing so that way is generally quite enjoyable.

I agree that GCP at least is a better experience for me as a developer, but I'm not sure if that translates directly into better anything for a customer of mine.
Both Chinese and Americans can protest about the US government's scandals on an internet forum hosted on the US, not the other way around though.
> ... you are more out of touch than the president telling us we need to "rake the forest floor". I don't want to come down too hard on someone proposing an idea in good faith, ...

I think this is a terrible response. If you want to disagree with me I think you can do it without being a jerk.
But that’s not faster.

The old way: click, you’re done.
The new way: click, hold finger, slide, and you’re done.

Like I said, it’s faster to go from 1 to 10, but 99% of the times I use it, I’m just changing the volume by 1.

Hell, it’s easier for my brain to just click 10 times than to watch where the damn slider is too.

For the new MacBook Air, I was wondering if anyone has run Xcode in it and the emulator. How was the performance? I am still on MBP 2012 and is still going fine.
I upgraded my 2016 MBP w/Touch Bar to a ThinkPad P1.

For the same price, I get a far superior machine.

For less than what I paid for the maxed out '16 MBP I get:

* Hexacore Xeon CPU

* 64GB of RAM

* 2TB NVMe SSD

* Nvidia Quadro P2000.

* a keyboard that is nice to type on again, instead of the butterfly SH!T that is on the 2016+ models.

I had concerns about switching my dev workflow from macOS to Windows 10, but WSL is fantastic.

Can't help but think Apple doesn't make macOS a priority anymore. The experience with High Sierra was just the straw that broke the camels back.

I sold my MBP for much less than what I used to get on resale. They don't hold their value like they used to. I wonder if this is lost on Apple management. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone is thinking about switching from macOS to Windows… unless you're doing {mac,i,watch}OS dev, I say jump on in. The water is nice.
Who said he was the devil incarnate? You seem to be making a logical fallacy here.
Keep in mind the numbers quoted in the article:

25% of those surveyed said 50% of their clothes will be "nearshored" by 2025.

So within 7 years (ballpark number) 12.5% of clothes will be nearshored.

That sounds pretty plausible. It's not exactly a titanic shift, more of a gradual one And looking at the chart backs up those kind of numbers. Fewer companies have 0-10% nearshored and more companies having 10-30% nearshored.

Of course, the survey is a bit misleading because it isn't volume-weighted. If 100 boutiques use nearshoring but Walmart doesn't...

Also keep in mind that "nearshoring" doesn't mean "moving back to the US and Western Europe". If you read the linked McKinsey study it means "moving to Mexico and Turkey because the US and Germany are still way too expensive even with full automation".

I also live in Vietnam :)

Lots of things can bump short term revenues in an A/B test, but leave long term unhappiness.
Prime now is great for stuff like this, although has to be available in your area. But yeah I agree, I'd never order an SD card off of Amazon.
Full disclosure: I am a Huawei employee, take everthing I say with an appropriate amount of salt.

It would be suicidal for Huawei to ship any eqipment to Western carriers with actual backdoors. European governments usually require through audit of the code that runs their networks and vendors are required to have reproducable builds for the same. The UK government for instance has the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre[1] responsible for vetting the Huawei equipment that gets used by British carriers. Like TFA says, "The U.K. government said in July it found shortcomings in the process." They did't find any backdoors or any actual vunerebilities but did report "variable engineering quality". Like any large and complex codebase produced by thousands of engineers, parts of the code may be downright ugly but that does not make it malicious.

Anyways, the CSEC report did have its intended effect and now significant resources are being expended to refactor legacy code. Nothing motivates management like a possible loss of revenue from bad PR ;)

Then again the NSA hacked into Huawei HQ[2] so they might know something that others don't. Speaking of which, how is the search for WMDs in Iraq coming along?

Thoughts on my portfolio please!
New release Friday!

Send through your feedback on my portfolio please!

Writing about work you've done is hard - but it's a good thing to practice and forces introspection, something that I've learnt is super valuable and key to moving forward.

There's a lot more to come (like adding TLS to the webserver), but please enjoy this for now. Hopefully it will be of use to you as it was to me writing, coding and designing the case studies again.

I'm currently looking for work within Australia or abroad. Very open to relocation. If you like what you see, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

It sounds like you are talking about Cantor's theorem, and its proof is here -> http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/canth.html . The formalization is both short and straightforward, so while you might argue that the axioms of set theory aren't intuitive enough, the fact that they come together to prove the impossibility of bijection between a set and its powerset is unassailable.
Some countries like Bahrain or others collect it for residents, & few others might be thinking about the same for tourists too.

This reminds me of my local library.
For every book one day late, you pay the equivalent of $0.05.

If I am late to give back a book that I am still reading, I do not mind giving it back one or two weeks late after I am done with it.

The fine is actually considerably cheaper if you compare with the upfront cost to be able to use the library.

I think they should start with a lower fee and charge x more every time the user fails to complete a task, on time. People need incentive to finish something. Not sure if someone emailing you is enough
Depends what you call fast. Fast enough to cause deprivation more than likely, and the usual bell curve. For a career, an industry almost completely exiting in half a working lifetime might be thought fast by many outside IT. :)

Some will leave early, most when some tipping point is reached, and some will hang on for decades. Something different will fill the gap.
apple syrup is a processed and concentrated product, so no, I wouldn't say it's that "good". It has been shown[1] that whole fruits/vegetables are not the same as fruit juice/fruit sugar.

I didn't mean to imply that if it's processed that automatically = bad and if it isn't that automatically = good, although it's a pretty good rule of thumb. I was just using it to illustrate that there are vastly different types of carbs in terms of nutrition.
