I agree with all of this. But the question I asked remains :)

Exactly why cryptographic authentication is required. There are fuzzing devices today that present themselves as known VID/PID/HID combinations that have generic drivers in modern OS's and can exploit that.

One of the primary drivers for this is the power delivery - imagine a scenario where you have authentic power brick and laptop and buy a counterfeit USB-PD cable, power brick sends 100W over it and it results in the cable melting since it was really a $5 knock-off and you end up with a fried USB-C port in your laptop and possibly a fire. I'm sure most people would wish that the power-brick/laptop checked that cable is genuine and build to handle the power.

Alternatively. one might speculate that price increases must ultimately result in weaker demand. Perhaps the market is telling Apple that the sweet spot for a phone is well below $1300.

No 3D touch on the XR :( I didn't think I'd use it, but I do, every single day. It's also larger than the 8 I have, that was disappointing.
I am guessing you don’t have kids? :)

Slime has been one of the most popular fads over the last few years. It even got to the point a while back that stores ran out of glue.

I’d say now the fad has mostly run its course, though I still see kits for sale at Walmart.

As an african living in the states. I will say for development to take place in Africa - it needs dictators, not blood thirsty dictators but development driven ones. Hear me out:

1. Laws in Africa need to be simplified at the moment it's mostly common law from a colonial past.

2. Have a tax friendly system i.e reduce all taxes on local raw materials and unfinished goods are home based i.e trace origin to any African countries

3. How would a dictator solve this: Cutting unnecessary layers of bureaucracy that encourage corruption i.e the #1 problem in Africa

4. Preferably the Dictator(s) be homosexual i.e less likely to be corrupt as chances they won't have kids and therefor not driven by family needs. I double on this even as a straight black guy.

5. Make education free

6. Limit imported luxury goods i.e Mercedes that are so loved by politicians by taxing them heavily like Singapore does

7. Have a simple building code e.g All buildings less than 7 storeys to be built of wood. Encourages development faster plus enables countries to have sustainable forests. Deforestation and Global warming a big problem in Africa atm.

8. Encourage immigration of skilled foreign nationals by giving tax breaks e.g 10 years. We know humans learn best from other humans. See your colleagues.
I have an original X and love it. I see no need to upgrade to the newer X. Wife has an 8 and kid has a 6S. Only thing that would get me to upgrade would be the X in the form factor of the iPhone5.
Totally agree, It's all about the ML data and RL experiences - not the quantity but the quality.
Apple has outpriced all its competitors, I have not updated my MacBook Pro for 4 years, not upgraded iPhone for 3, never bought iPad Pro, watch, air pods.
bought last years MacBook Air , 2018 iPad instead .

Apple can reduce pricing by 10-15% or give credits so that people can use it for accessories and apps.

Until it gets price right, market like India can never grow for Apple.
Correct and perhaps I could have been more clear, but as far as a consumer is concerned Apple did conflate the two issues.

Apple initially refused to replace my battery because they're consumable, even though they later admitted that some batteries were defective. They replaced some batteries for free [1], everyone else got an iOS 10.2.1 update with silent throttling [2]. Note that Apple did not admit to defective batteries until late 2016, and then announced an update with silent throttling in early 2017.

I am not implying that Apple should replace everyone's batteries for free, I am however under the impression that they attempted to keep warranty costs low by denying for as long as they could, and quickly following up with an update that hides the symptoms.

I agree that the new phones are too expensive (the price of the XS has got me hanging onto my iPhone 7 for another year), but it sounds like the "emerging markets" fail was mostly China. But the issue is that China is a huge market, emerging or not.
Printing fiat currency specifically to pay for domestic programs does not itself increase inflation? I'd classify that as "just barely possible, but very probably untrue". In particular, I'd want to know how it's different from what Venezuela did, how it's different from what Zimbabwe did, and how it's different from what the Weimar Republic did.

The next problem is, even if it's true, it may not matter. If the political pressure is too high, governments will proceed from doing what MMT says, and move on to doing what Venezuela did. This may not be a safe road to start down even if the theory is correct, because human nature says that we won't stick to the course specified by the theory.

I could be convinced that I'm wrong, but I want more than a fine-sounding theory that says we can have our cake and eat it too. I want a theory that says how this is actually different from all the times it's blown up in the past.
Faulty usb chargers can put line voltage on the charging end anyway, regardless of the spec.
You also have to provide the immigrants with whatever social spending to which locals are entitled. They cost money; if the immigrants pay less in taxes than they receive in social benefits, they are a net economic loss. And, as you may expect, a poor immigrant likely pays little or even no taxes if their income is low enough.

Also, lowering the price of labor in a particular industry makes other people in it be paid less, or fired. As a result, they buy less, etc, slowing down the entire economy, influencing maybe your own wages.
What a great story. Good for Woods! I'm going to look that Podcast up, I hadn't heard of it.
That is not a meaning I would have derived from my reply. You’re welcome to construct a scenario explaining what you mean, but the question alone offers no guidance on what you’re thinking to permit me to construct a reply.

And this is one of the many reasons why these machines are horrendously expensive - they are incredibly precise.
I'd say the premium price is only worth the gap between competition. Status item can only do so much.
Yeah. What gives.
He is not required to prove to you - or anybody else - that he has permission, unless challenged by an author or a publisher. Lets assume he does until you have proof that he does not and even if he does not there is a pretty good fair use argument to be made for out of print books.

To me it looks as if you have an axe to grind and will stick to your mantra, even though by all the available evidence this is done by a highly respected academic and completely out in the open, if it was done illegally (as in, with the full knowledge that authors/publishers would object) this is the most stupid way to go about it. It is your claim that requires proof, not the other way around.
Some emerging markets (e.g. Malaysia, Vietnam) generated record revenue. It was China in specific that underperformed and recent economic numbers for China are also underperforming (GDP growth during the September quarter was the second lowest in the last 25 years).
Why do you believe that? (It's so very wrong, but I'm curious if someone told you, or you came to this conclusion on your own)
I teach Scratch at the MADE (video game museum in Oakland) and I've run into the following:

- Mutual sprite collision (think a projectile hitting another sprite, and wanting it to both disappear and do damage to the thing that got hit) can easily have race conditions unless you take special care to avoid them
- Scrolling games are hard to do for a number of reasons (backgrounds don't natively scroll, sprites have fairly hard size limits and can't be fully moved off the edge of the stage)
- As others have mentioned, the inability to share code between sprites outside of clones is a bummer
- The heuristic for waiting for the next frame in a loop works well for simple stuff, but gets in the way for more complicated things. You can work around this by defining your own block and enabling the "run without screen refresh" option, but if you accidentally create an infinite loop in that block, the entire UI becomes unresponsive (at least in Scratch 2, perhaps they've fixed that in Scratch 3)
Agreed, I have 2 year old SE that's at 88% with everyday use.
Using a PLA vs microcode to sequence a multiple clock instruction execution is sort of a no-op (ie they're pretty much the same thing) when comparing how a CISCy chip works compared with a RISC which has instructions designed to be easily decoded by random logic and executed in one clock
I would also spend a similar amount on an upgraded SE.

Current phone lineup (not just Apple) sucks IMO. An untouched SE with latest radio and faster CPU would be worth the upgrade for me.
There was an issue in the past with the Secure Enclave and the verification between it and the TouchID sensor. Third parties who replaced the sensor didn't have the ability to reset the pairing and even if you did there was the infamous Error 53 problem.

All solved now and third party repairers can do most things.
I highly recommend reading the book Chasing New Horizons by Alan Stern[0]. It is a great insight into years of work it takes to get a mission like New Horizons going. It is a very well written book and I could not put it down until finished.

Agreed - This is what their strategy overlooked. Lineup needs to exceed expectations to justify price increase y/y, but revisions are increasingly minor since the 7 lineup.
Japan’s asteroid mission faces ‘breathtaking’ touchdown
There isn't a "root issue". People have gone over this ad infinitum. The "root issue" is iPhone batteries like most cell phone batteries do not last more than several hundred recharge cycles and especially when under high load the power will be insufficient to maintain full phone performance without the phone suddenly shutting off. On Android your phone simply shuts off on high load on old batteries. Apple gracefully fails rather than hard crashes. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Apple gave out free upgrades because people perceived it as if Apple had done something wrong so out of good will they gave free upgrades. Current phones will do the exact same thing given time.
No evidence of sugar substitutes' health benefits, finds study
I think that's the key. I've upgraded every year for many years, but I just wasn't compelled to do it this year. I love my X, and it's still working great! I fully expect to upgrade next year.
No other manufacturer lies and cheats to avoid responsibility for their defective products quite like Apple either.
Apple’s Earnings Warning
The entire installed base doesn't upgrade every single year. There are years of people upgrading to the X form factor left.
I know that my copy of CLR went into the recycling bin because the 'left as an exercise to the reader' aspect of the book made it completely useless as a reference book. Even when the Internet was wrong (as it often was) it was better than nothing (which is what CLR offers). Also the damned thing has so much clay on the paper that it weighs more than a brick.

I wonder if a better solution is to provide a set of questions and answers for the book but not use the book questions as the graded homework/exam material.

The one has to be dynamic for the reasons you listed. The other doesn't, and any professor that tries to use your book without creating their own questions will quickly find themselves in the same boat you were, regarding memorization vs internalization.

The price depends on your prescription. If your site is really poor, you may need high index lenses that are thinner. These lenses are about $35 more than the “free” lenses included in the starting $95-$125 price at Warby Parker. $300-400 is not out of the ordinary for those with poor vision, and that’s sometimes the price _with_ insurance.
This sounds like something I'd love to get into, but I don't have any book writing experience. Do you have any tips/pointers for me? Can you recommend any online courses that might help me learn more about technical book writing?

I had the same moment of realization a few years ago when my workplace decided to hold a kaggle-style competition to select an ML consultancy to prioritize incoming prospective customers. The consultants had given us their sales pitch about how they had the best algorithms, credentialed specialists, proprietary data and so forth. Meanwhile I was just an Excel Monkey who convinced his boss to let me teach myself ML on the company clock.

So off I go to pull my data and spend about half a day building a script to score the leads with a randomforest package, literally teaching myself the syntax as I go. A couple weeks later, the scores come back and I'm second of seven, beating six companies with multi-million dollar funding rounds.

My secret? Nothing really, I knew the data well so I created a few features that the outside consultants apparently missed, which apparently made up for my lack of ML skills. Turns out the 'proprietary data' they were touting was basically just census data and none of their engineers could be bothered to think through the real world situation on the ground and just fed the data into their system raw.

I think there are some really interesting opportunities for people who are working on the cutting edge of ML with things like self driving cars, AlphaGo, and others, but there are an awful lot of business problems can be solved with 'good enough' solutions with relatively simple, undergrad level algorithms and good domain knowledge.
Luxury Escapes | Senior Engineer (JS) | Onsite Sydney, Australia | Full Time

We curate/negotiate high quality holiday packages, and have built up a pretty large customer base of people who seem to like us (>$300m a year). We're keen to give our customers a good web/app experience when buying their holidays.

Good new positive team, Node.js & React/Redux, currently dipping our toes into the world of serverless.

Hiring about 3 positions of this type currently - contact me (Head of Engineering) at timothy.downs@luxuryescapes.com.

Although its challenging for us to sponsor people - if we find a really great fit, we can probably find a way to make it work.
I mean, people use it, it's not terrible, I just found it unreliable since at the end of the day it's a PHP app. Though Horde (which is also PHP) was miles better. I think z-push uses the php imap library, which is quite ineffecient. See https://wiki.horde.org/activesync#toc29

Yes, but it’s not easy, and its not conducive to a “passive income” model:

1. Find, maintaining, and keeping a high quality manufacturer in China is hard but doable.

2. Building a brand and audience is hard but doable.

3. Creating intellectual property and protecting it is hard but doable.

The folks I know who sell a lot on Amazon do all of these three things decently, and one (often more) extremely well.

From the sound of it, the folks in the article made a lame attempt at #1 and maybe a token attempt at #2 via Amazon ads.

The 6502 and Z80 were both 'CISCy' chips, but they were very different when it came to instruction execution. While formally a PLA may have been used to "sequence a multiple-clock instruction" in both, in a practical sense 6502 instructions took a handful of clock cycles to execute, not very dissimilar from later RISC chips. I think your point is more valid for the Z80 than for the 6502.
I wonder how much would it cost to build a GPS-like network for the whole solar-system...

The good thing is that, for such a thing to be really useful, we'd have to invent better propulsion systems which would, in turn, make the network much cheaper to build.

Not true - lithium cells see most 'wear' when used and stored above 90 percent charge and below 10 percent charge.

The effect is so dramatic that some manufacturers rescale the indicator so it isn't possible to reach those charge levels, and makers of electric cars won't charge above 90 percent by default.
It could be a slightly lesser effect; people were willing to buy the S models of previous iPhones, even though the changes weren't that big on the surface, because the price was lower, however when the phone is so expensive, people wait for a bigger change before buying a new phone. The iPhone S was a gigantic change relative to all other new models of iPhone; the Xs is mostly more of the same.

Or that might not be the reason, I don't know enough to analyze the situation by far. I just don't think we should rule out the extreme price increase as a potential partial explanation.
I bought my wife, then girlfriend, the original iPad 16GB for $499.
