To be more explicit, 日本=nihon, ノワール=noir. As written "日本ノ"/"ワール" is basically like writing "nihonn"/"oir".
You know, I didn't read the memo but if it's by an expert at how to finagle consent from people without them realizing what you're doing, I'm having a real hard time holding zuck accountable for what "yup do it" authorizes (if this makes any sense.) -- I mean that the person could have finagled the "yup do it" without Zuck realizing the extent of what he just authorized.

Note I'm just basing this on what you just wrote - if it was a really clear memo titled "How to trick users into 'consenting' to 'let' us sell their contact lists, messages, and all other data without actually making them realize they've done this" then I take it back.
I also use VMWare Fusion Pro for Mac. It's more professionally oriented, and its GUI performance is highest among the three.

People are also happy with Parallels and its remote access service, but VirtualBox on Mac is only good for headless virtualization it seems.

I wrote my Ph.D. thesis on a XFCE desktop on a Mac (via VMWare). It was basically seamless. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
> Can't you just not use that product then?

I can and I do, for as long as it's possible.

The problem is that JS-first fashion infects web shops, and one by one, websites are being rebuilt in "modern ways", rendering them less usable than they were before. Such sites would be easy to avoid if they were the exception, but you can't do that if everyone follows this trend.
While technically a SAN is networked storage, I read the OP's comment to indicate something more like a SMB share.

Our enterprise databases store the data on high-performance SAN devices, and these are not slow. We moved from local spinning-rust drives to SAN SSDs, and our performance improved.
I think that was implied by GP's characterization of the practice as "laundering."
> The bend is the result of a cooling process involving the iPad Pro’s metal and plastic components during manufacturing, according to Apple.

So it's a manufacturing defect. Calling it a "side effect" instead is just semantics.
Mattermost is the only one I've used and it's both easy to administer and works great.
Oh neato.

I still think there's something for the philosophy of developing tools that expect a strict format and fail if that format is violated. I've worked in a variety of settings and with a variety of tools, as time goes by I am finding the value of tools that are strict about expectations to provide a more maintainable product over the long haul. If I were writing a project using this style I'd prefer to receive a parse failure in the case of ambiguity, rather than carrying on and hoping it is correct.

If data correction needs to happen (i.e. one file that should be single-space indented is triple space indented) I'd prefer to explicitly pre-process the data rather than have a tool that can handle it gracefully.
Is this a serious question?

I was speaking to the economy as a whole. Software seems to be quite a bit more labor constrained than the rest of the economy. Though honestly, once we start looking at just one industry, other effects become more prominent.
> But they don't know that.

They have information from which they conclude that; this information is fallible and conclusions are not certain, but that's true of virtually all “knowledge” about the material world.
Not directly comparable of course because it's WiFi only, but my iPad reports 3% over the last 10 days (much of which would have been Wireguard being open and exporting logs when I was debugging whilst setting it up) and 1% over the last 24 hours. I was also concerned about this but it's been fine.

Prove it. You are making the positive claim. You have the burden of proof.
I have parallels installed.

I started using it at Parallels 6 and currently using Parallels 10. The latest version is Parallels 14.

Don’t expect much from customer support. I bought parallels 10 just about 30 days before Parallels 11 came out. I talked to customer support and they simply said no to letting me instead get Parallels 11 even though the time period was so short. I understand it doesn’t say anywhere on their website about that they would honor new free versions if the old versions were purchased within a certain amount of time. But customer service is a thing and they don’t seem to care about it. All I I got was a short: sorry can’t help you. And I haven’t bought a new version since. I probably would have if they had offered me a upgrade back then. I’m still running windows 7 and I don’t need all the new bells and whistles new version of parallels offers. So it doesn’t bother me that I’m running a 4 year old version.

Like another comment mentioned, they do use dark patterns. I can’t count how many times I’ve clicked on “Don’t show again” on the new version ad they show you when yours is outdated. Yet it still pops up to this day.

I’ve never used their recommended settings. I just pick one and go back into the settings and change it to whatever I usually default to.

All that said, their interface is a lot more polished than the other software. I’ve done research on VMware fusion, and I always read comments saying that Parallels is better. I haven’t tried fusion myself.

I also love the fact that I can simply copy the parallels file if I need to mess with it and not have to worry about messing up my original install. For this purpose, I always keep a fresh copy of windows on my computer. Whenever I feel like I’ve added too much junk to my windows image, I simply delete it and make a copy of the fresh install and I’m on my way again.

I’ve never used Parallels Access so I can’t comment on that.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
nice, it exists
Why does it have to prove anything? Sometimes prototypes are just about experimentation and inspiring people. They had to dig the tunnel anyway, why not show it off in a fun way?
You would be wrong in your assumption. A project I worked on for a client (data scientist working on labor market issues) wanted to know when he would run out of candidates in the labor pool as he had a high turnover in 120 zip-codes. Out of them only 30 would have a dried up labor pool in 15 years. The rest could go on forever. Why? You forget to count the people aging, the 15 year old who isn't in the labor pool now, will be in a few years.
7.1% of tweets sent to the women in the study were “problematic” or “abusive”. This amounts to 1.1 million tweets mentioning 778 women across the year, or one every 30 seconds.

Women of colour, (black, Asian, Latinx and mixed-race women) were 34% more likely to be mentioned in abusive or problematic tweets than white women.

Black women were disproportionately targeted, being 84% more likely than white women to be mentioned in abusive or problematic tweets.

Online abuse targets women from across the political spectrum - politicians and journalists faced similar levels of online abuse and we observed both liberals and conservatives alike, as well as left and right leaning media organisations, were targeted.

Because it's "java like" enough that all of my years of experience using Java still pay dividends, but yet it knocks off most of the warts Java has (writing getters and setters, for example), while adding cool stuff like dynamic typing, closures, currying, map literals, string interpolation, tons of handy convenience methods, etc.
While relevant to the topic, I don't think this is responsive to the question. I.e., "why are police allowed to do this at all?" differs from "is it allowed in court?"
You are an outlier. Even Hassabis and Hinton believe that agi is inevitable. I’ve never met anyone who thought otherwise. The only disagreement is about the timescale and the result of its existence. If nothing I’ve said can convince you that ai is possible, then i would just ask you to consider that the human brain exists and that we will eventually figure out how it works.
The bend can be thought of as exactly that: a unique differentiator that adds status and flair to an already desirable item.
For a manufacturer as highly lauded as Apple, the opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind iPad with a bespoke chassis camber will surely be sought after by consumers.

If anything, we should be congratulating those involved for their ability to bring organic design inspiration to the highest echelons of computing; and affordably too!

I read about a cool Echo Dot hardware hack where it was made into an old phone with mute on the speaker and microphone until picked up. As a tech people it boggles my mind that other tech people accept an always on microphone in their homes. I truly don't get it!
>Even if we have less nutritious food, which is debatable

It really isn't, it has been measured. With increased atmospheric CO2, plants grow faster and end up with a much higher calorie:micronutrient ratio. We also consume vast quantities of industrial waste products now like "vegetable oil", HFCS and soybean by-products.

>we have an abundance of it, sufficient to feed us all and we don't suffer famines and shortages, or nutritional deficiencies.

Famine wasn't as common as you seem to think it was, unless you include impoverished states, in which case famine is killing more people now than it was back then. You can't just look at rich countries now compared to everyone centuries ago. You have to compare like to like. We suffer plenty of nutritional deficiencies, and we suffer huge amounts of diet caused diseases like "type 2 diabetes" and osteoporosis.

>We have an "epidemic" of mental illness because most of our day is no longer solely focused on scrounging for survival.

People were not scrounging for survival then either. They were producing significant surpluses of food, enough to feed massive armies. And while they worked hard in spring and fall, they essentially had summer and winter as vacation time. They had more holidays/vacation time than modern Americans do.

>Perhaps community bonds have something to do with it, but that's also debatable.

We literally have hundreds of thousands of people killing themselves entirely because they have no social bonds. Everything is debatable, but this debate in particular has overwhelming evidence in support of it being correct. As population density grows, social cohesion, trust and relationships all decline. We just didn't evolve to be friends with 5 million people.

Electrification Has Even Reached 80-Year-Old Russian Motorcycle Maker
Elon must be pretty out-of-date on his tunneling research since most of the tunneling machines in use these days are electrical, powered directly from the local grid. (Think about it--if you're running a combustible engine in a confined space the last thing you would do is flood the area with pure oxygen.)

The thermal limits in boring isn't related to the energy source--it's related to the bore head warming up from the friction of boring. This problem is addressed by cooling the bore head with water.
The Northeast corridor is one thing, but the rest of the country has an entirely different experience with Amtrak. I once took a train from Pittsburgh to Chicago which was scheduled to depart at 8 AM. Instead we ended up boarding at noon, and apparently this is a completely typical delay. I hate airports, but the unimaginable volatility of Amtrak will more than erase the benefit of not trudging through airport security, as well as make it impossible to schedule any connecting transport at your destination.

As for the view, the California Zephyr is indeed breathtaking between Denver and Reno, but prepare to spend a night sleeping in your seat or on the floor of a rattling traincar (sleeper cabins exist, sure... for ten times the price of flying).

>easily preventable mistakes

Considering that iPads are machined to very high tolerances, they are extremely flat as built, at least early in the process. Also many of the later steps in construction are highly automated, relying on custom fixtures that would tend to detect an out-of-tolerance part.

That suggests that bends in the final product happened late somehow, possibly from mishandling in shipping and final packaging. Depending on your quality inspections at that point, a certain number of out-of-tolerance devices might make it though (because early on all iPads are checked individually, but maybe not re-checked as late as in packaging.)

Apple is also known for holding its manufacturers to high quality bars that sometimes are often difficult to meet. So they are under pressure to both meet the agreed upon standards, but also ship tremendous quantities of product without high amounts of rework, the costs of which they, the manufacturer, would have to eat, not Apple.
> Mass communication is a threat to democracy?

Why did you think that strawman would work on HN of all places? FB didn't invent email, chatrooms, message boards, or the internet, things that actually support mass communication.
Bias and deliberate dishonesty are entirely different things. One can have a bias and still produce a relatively objective study.

The Gallup study referenced in the NYT article you cited says:

State of the American Workplace delivers unprecedented analytics and advice on the changing workplace, using data collected from more than 195,600 U.S. employees, more than 31 million respondents, and insight from advising leading Fortune 1000 companies.

What it doesn’t say is that this is a random sample of all employees. Indeed one of the stated purposes of the study is

enable people to work successfully from locations besides the office

I don’t know the percentage of all workers that work in an office but I’m guessing farm laborers, miners, cleaning staff, delivery drivers, retail workers, etc. make up a significant portion of the working population and I gather from Gallup’s writing about its study is that it is focused on big companies with large numbers of office workers.

One must also take into account the Murray-Gellmann Amnesia Effect. A NYT article is not on par with a study by an expert.

Regardless of all this you miss the point of my original response. You’ve come up with possible objections to a study by an expert. Rather than assume you are the one missing information you assume the expert is being deliberately misleading. A reasonable person would not assume this. A reasonable person would assume that the professor, while possibly wrong, still knows more about the issue and use the opportunity to learn more.

The most natural question by you is, “Why does the professor make the conclusion he makes despite these objections?” One answer is bias. Another is because the objections are easily debunked. Which one do you think is more likely?
I accidentally sat on my 2017 iPad and bent it a bit. It was fairly easy to bend it back. Depending on the extent of the bend it might be possible to straighten these out as well. Of course this isn’t ideal, but it should be possible to create a procedure to iron out the bend.

Marqea Hack Week Q4 2018
Now i'm not going to pretend to even know anything about tunnel boring, but are those the only "errors" that are worth fixing?

I'm assuming if the Boring Company is moving forward, that they have actually done the research and found that those problems are:

* rare enough not to worry about at this point in the game

* have no good possible solutions that anyone can think up right now

* don't have any obvious places where big improvements can be made

* they don't have access to the details of exactly what mistakes were made in those projects because the industry is unable or unwilling to share the information.

* there are solutions to those problems, but they require that other "seemingly solved" problems be optimized or solved differently

Not to mention that they are completely new at this as a company. Getting a few easy wins, validating that your plans and ideas are on the right track, and making sure you really know the problem before diving in headfirst sound like pretty good ideas.
You could write a simple script/daemon to wrap rsync. To make the install, configure, run process dirt simple and reliable.

You could write a nice agent in Go (golang.com) that watches directories and sends files over your choice of protocols, maybe to an AWS S3 bucket. A little dev work could get you a single file program (zero dependencies, just copy program and run it on each host). Here's one example: https://github.com/Redundancy/go-sync

Here's a search for more similar libs: https://golanglibs.com/search?q=rsync&sort=top

I've used this method extensively and can tell you it works very well. You can add whitelist/blacklist filters, specify folders, recursively traverse a tree of folders/files, etc.

A single file binary with zero dependencies is a huge plus for a situation like this. You can cross compile the same source for Windows and nearly every flavor of Linux with ease. Just my $0.02.

> never seen anyone fight, almost no homeless people

…Do you live in a different London from me? You must be talking about London, Ontario, right?

There were at least three major Islamic terror attacks around my address in London in the past few years. I live just by Borough Market.

There were the three guys who drove the van into Borough Market and stabbed people, killing eight. There was the guy who drove his car into people on Westminster Bridge, killing five and injuring 50. There was also the murder of Lee Rigby in Woolwich, in the street in the middle of the day outside a primary school. Lee Rigby was a colleague of my best friend. My best friend and I were walking exactly where the murder was to take place a few weeks prior.

I'm also quite shocked you don't notice the homeless in London. Before I started my career in IT — when I was a broke musician — I used to eat with them every day. Hare Krishna feed the homeless most evenings in Holborn, and at the time on some nights you could get leftover Pret a Manger meals outside the Rymans on the Strand.

There's almost always people sleeping rough around London Bridge, and in many places all throughout the city. And if you enjoy the nightlife you're bound to see at least some street violence occasionally.

Bitcoins value comes from the real assets that are traded. These assets are foremostly illegal drugs, guns, porn and -- financial security under oppressive government. The last one is now much less valuable however, when Chinese government has started clamping down free internet, and bitcoin transactions will be monitored more closely. However now that we have bitcoin derivatives those who are afraid that bitcoin does not represent their moving asset valuation correctly can effect real changes. Therefore it is prudent to assume that bitcoin will settle down to reasonable level. I think the psychologically "reasonable" value is when one bitcoin is comprehensible to average drug dealer in 3rd world countries. I say 1000 dollars is such a number.
