I didn't throw out eating less meat. I don't disagree with that as being one of the ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But the fact remains that there are many ways of reducing emissions and author/publication makes this one specific recommendation the title of the article. It's a lot more complex than that, but this author has a preferred conclusion.
In China the OS almost doesn't matter as everything is WeChat. Apple certainly makes money, but everything Google would want to earn goes to Tencent, I assume Android in China is AOSP…
120,000 jobs is almost within itself the size of Apple.

I mean unless these jobs are serving totally unique products and market otherwise I can envision a future where all these jobs overlap in some form and coagulate into a single giant startup.
It's not just Bloomberg. Many others have been expecting this for a while because Apple has been disproportionately dependent on iPhone revenue and they don't have some new product that will push them to the next level.

Both the iPad and Watch are not the home run product that is needed.

In many ways Apple's extended software support of their older hardware gives users even less of a reason to buy a new device. I think that shows they are a company not primarily focused on profit because they could make changes to push people to upgrade their device faster.

It seems like they need to do more with services or start buying up some other businesses with all that cash they're sitting on.
That comic does not exist?
I'm not questioning their right.

By all accounts, I was beautiful woman back in the day. I was also tall and thin at age 17 and toyed with the idea of being a model as a seeming easy answer for life.

As a woman who has six years of college and a serious interest in intellectual topics, I'm quite frustrated at my inability to get taken seriously and develop a real career.

Most women who have money and power seem to trade on their looks and sex appeal. They seem to mostly be actresses, singers, models, run fashion or make up empires or sell perfume, etc.

My feeling is that a lot of women make such career choices not because they are truly passionate about things like fashion but because that's the most viable avenue for a smart, pretty woman who doesn't want to be a second class citizen who can't stand up to her husband for fear he will leave her and his income is higher than hers.

Even so, the #MeToo movement suggests that women with real careers routinely put up with sexual harassment and even sexual assault as part for the course and it appears this is not generally true for men.

I have no problem with women trading on their looks if they so desire. As a woman who wants something else out of life and can't seem to get it, I have quite a big problem with that seeming to be the only real option a woman has.

My subjective experience makes me feel like it very much boils down to treating women as sex objects, not real people. And women who fail at being marketable sex objects can just go starve as far as the world is concerned.
Monorepo: please do
My comment was a bit presumptuous then. Sincere apologies.
Status symbols. That's why people are also eager to buy knock-off products of those with loud, visible branding (e.g. Supreme).
Any organized reforms requires enough of the population to agree to substantial lifestyle changes and sacrifice, and that starts at the individual level. How do we expect people to agree to reduce meat consumption, or fly/drive less, or just consume less if we don't get enough of them to actually do it willingly?

Green technologies and innovations will certainly help but I'm not happy just waiting for some breakthrough and throwing money at it in the meantime. Arguing that individuals can't make any meaningful difference is also a cop out - if my small sacrifice won't help, then why bother? This seems like a terrible perspective.

> Individual action is merely pandering to the laziness and timidity of those who find it easier to stop eating delicious foods entirely than to have a conversation with someone who disagrees with them about politics.

What makes you think this is a lazy and timid group? It's also worth pointing out that many (maybe most?) who choose to forgo meat do it primarily for ethical reasons.
Except we're no longer in an environment that exerts the same actual selective pressures. This leads to an unhealthy excess, just like it does with many of the other natural urges like the preference for highly processed, high-calorie, sugar-dense foods.
> Are you suggesting that the UK should vote every 4 year or so to decide whether they should be in the EU?

Or maybe it shouldn't, in general, vote at all on that as a separate question (after first resolving if people really want to go forward with the current exit process now that there is more clarity on what that entails) except perhaps to confirm it reject an exit under a deal negotiated after a government-decided invocation of Art. 50 provides a concrete choice, since it's a complex question involving potential for negotiated terms that intersects with every other policy area; maybe the UK should vote for a Parliament and let Parliament balance the issues, proposing referenda only when the public have he information about the choices that makes the decision meaningful.

The first referendum on Brexit was a fairly naked political ploy to punt on exactly that Parliamentary duty with the hope of creating partisan advantage in a general election.
People aren't going to buy a $850 apple when they can get a $300-400 (equivalent in Yuan) oppo or xiaomi that is very near top end flagship Android specs.
In China, or elsewhere? What in the US is as good as iPhone (including the screen size and storage size at that price point) for under $800?

A lot of phone have roughly comparable specs, but the camera and overall software behavior is not comparable on lower-tier phones.
Market for $300 T-shirts is very small. Niche, not really consumer.
Dom 0.3 released – a 512 byte big, React.js clone
I've been buying/using iPhones since 2009. The last iPhone I bought was a 7+. Right after that I had sensed that Apple is messing around with us on the CPU thing, and it finally came out that they did. I now have a Honor X8, I am super content about this, it cost me 229 pounds, takes 2 SIM cards and a 128GB SD card.

I can also have a firewall NoRoot Firewall), more granular privacy controls, I can root and and replace my hosts file, and some other nifty security/privacy things for paranoids like me.

Is it as polished as an iPhone? No
Does it cover all my needs fully (and them some)? Yes
Did I pay 1/6 of the price? Yes (trust me I can affort any smartphone)
Do I think Apple is milking it and offers nothing new? HELL YES

I am happy that their stock is getting slapped, Apple put themselves in that position.

As for the Chinese economy, at some point many countries will reduce imports from China for a variety of reasons, and the slowing dowin is inevitable. Apple messed it up on many domains. Now they are paying for it.
This is a great thing, but i wonder if it's actionable. What are the insurance impacts?
On the opposite end is scratch off lottery tickets.
I don't understand why people are paying 50%+ marginal tax rates when there are plenty of countries with lower rates
I definitely saw this issue a lot back in the agency world. The tip I like the most is to have independent thinking sessions before (and also after) coming together to brainstorm as a group.
You seem to be assuming a great deal of things axiomatically. All of your claims are subject to philosophical discussion. The "Founding Fathers" are not God. Liberalism, democracy, and civil liberties are not given and obvious goods (Plato saw democracy as the worst form of government and one that degenerates into tyranny, probably more through ethos than procedure).
I think it's more accurate to say that the word weighting technique she created isn't directly related to search engines. Certainly weighting The importance of an occurrence of a words is important in many applications. Natural language processing, document categorization, and more. Web search among them. The article, though, seems trying pretty hard to portray it as laying the foundations for applications like Google search which is an awkward connection to make. If nothing else consider the time frame: this word indexing technique was published in 1972, while the first mainstream search engines came about two decades later.
Probably not. This is a pretty competitive space, which pushes prices towards marginal costs.

I live about a mile away from the area where these monkeys like to hang out and go kayaking in Silver River State Park. I always immediately head the other way if I see them. Everyone who frequents the area is warned to avoid them.

The guy who introduced them to the area put them on an island in the middle of Silver River, and they swam away the first day.
Thing is, in my experience, the configuration can get quickly very difficult when the plugins don't play nice. It's not just webpack's configuration, it's also babel and babel-loader and postcss and postcss-loader and so on. Next thing you know, you're spending hours tweaking the config to get it to work.

I wanted something that is a good fouondation for _any_ project. If it needs extending, sure. But there's not much to remove.

You could argue you don't need all those plugins, but.. I would like to use jsx, async/await, css autoprefixing, css imports, hot reloading, compile it all for older browsers, split chunks and generate html. Those seem to be expected features today (or maybe that's a wrong assumption I have)?
In Blood, Sweat, and Pixels by Jason Schreier, I think he was also quoted as saying his daughter's insatiable habit of repeatedly mounting and unmounting the horse caused a serious bug, which they would not have found otherwise.
Im not imagining it as unpleasant to do, but rather totally unsatisfying, and if made an important part of maintainence, a really big nuisance. Either it’d very quickly boil down to scrubbing really fast, or just a monotous drudgery.

Ofc, if the game was primarily about taking care of your horse rather than maintanence for riding your horse, it might be fine. But my tastes definitely tend towards the latter.
Isn't this a general problem with long manufacturing pipelines? Car manufacturers get smacked by economic turns all the time.

I bought a new car in '10 because the manufacturer gutted the feature set on the '11 model, once they figured out that the '08 recession was real. I much preferred the original feature set, so I had to buy at a way inconvenient time, about 6 months early, before the dealers ran out of stock.

We groused in the 80's about Sony for selling us cheaper, outdated versions of consumer electronics that they sold domestically. You can't recoup R&D costs when the exchange rate is as lopsided as the Yen was at the time.
First time I hear about it. Let's see.

It seems to aim at roughly the same problem, but god, they've managed to design something even uglier and more verbose than XML namespaces. Still requires to use valid URLs instead of GUIds. Still forces you to use external names in your markup. Sigh.

One hard limitation I see is that unlike namespaces it doesn't deal with HTML attributes, so you can't just annotate the same tag with unrelated semantics.

It also makes assumptions about document structure (item properties are nested inside an item). Semantics and structure should not be complected. This will create innumerable issues when doing logic in code or writing CSS queries.

Why does this have to be so ugly and complicated? All we really need is a way to associate data with globally unique identifiers. This gives us semantics. A single layer of indirection (mapping GUIDs to local names of your choice) would allow us to be concise and descriptive in our markup, while avoiding naming conflicts.

No matter how much W3C hates it, people are extending HTML with custom tags and attributes. (ng-whatever, for example.) Having no support for providing semantics for such things is pretty ridiculous.
I didn't see anything in the article stating we shouldn't do other things as well. Of course this article is saying we should not eat meat, that's the point of the article. If the article was called "how to stop global climate change" and then said nothing but "don't eat meat", I would have more issues with it, but it is specifically focused on the issue of emissions from agricultural mammals.
The price is often reduced by your carrier or obscured by no interest payments included in your cell bill.

And those $300 phones don't have a mind-blowing camera, but the latest gen flagships phones finally do. That, plus the fact that phones become obsolete much more slowly now, makes those $1k phones a worthwhile investment to me.
Did you see the movie? It was a poor family that put all their money into a house, then lost it through a reverse mortgage. “Privilege and greed” is a slapdash accusation here.

Some families struggle to put their life savings into a home and don’t have anything left over for other investments. What you’re proposing is still going to place pressure on seniors to move lest they lose a lot of estate value.

Basically I think you’ll find support for doing this go to rich who can afford it. But a blanket shift to liens on cash-poor seniors’ homes could end up disproportionately hurting the less fortunate.
> Am I in the minority?

No, you are not. The disconnect between actual developers that know better than to rely on global pollution and the silly READMEs and blog posts that prescribe it is an interesting phenomena. It's also gone on long enough that I feel a little shouting is in order.
Right, but if they do have applicants who are able to devote full attention to the well-being of the dog, then prioritizing those applicants is probably in the best interests of the dog. Yeah, sucks for the person who does work a full-time job, but if you're unable to take work off (at least at first) to spend time with your dog (especially while your dog is getting used to its new home/family/"pack"), you might not be the right fit.
I thought it was definitely a big mistake when I first saw the price announced. After thinking about it for quite a while, this may have served a singular purpose - keep the price high enough that Apple doesn't have to worry about antitrust regulators. There is such a thing as too much market share.
This doesn't sound right to me. At the time the X phones were introduced the chatter was all about them being positioned as more exclusive/higher-end phones and priced accordingly. The higher prices allowed new tech to be introduced while keeping profit margins and also matching supply chain constraints on new technology (like the face-id sensor).
yea manual says this

"The driver is responsible for driving safely. Always be sure to check the surroundings with your eyes when changing lanes or reversing the vehicle.
The system is designed to assist the driver to change lanes or reverse safely by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle. However, you cannot rely on this system alone in assuring the safety during a lane change or reversing. Overconfi- dence in this system could result in an accident and lead to serious injury or death. Since the system operation has various limitations, the flashing or illumination of the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light may be delayed or it may not operate at all even when a vehicle is present in a neighboring lane or approach- ing from either side.
The driver is responsible for paying attention to the rear and side areas of the vehicle."
Funny you mention that. I was considering amending my post to include IndirectionStrategy.

But I was worried about opening a Pandora's box of indirection design patterns.

I mean, who are we to assume that you want to invoke all this indirection now? Better to wrap it all in an IndirectionCommand so you can invoke it whenever you want.

And there's no need to keep too many copies of identical IndirectionCommand instances around, so you'll also want an IndirectionCommandCache class, which will of course need an IndirectionCommandCacheStrategy because you don't want to just assume you know how and for how long people will want to cache those commands.

We don't pay people based on 'effort'. We pay people based on their output, in particular their ability to take create situations where money changes hands.

If somebody thinks they can get more money with less effort then we want them to try working that way instead.

Terrible title, but basically the same idea.
For the lazy, when an angle is small you can just approximate sin(theta) with theta. Theta of course has to be in radians. So 0.5 degrees is .0087267 radians. sin(0.5 degrees) is .0087265.

Putting it all together, 1 / (0.5 * Pi / 180) = 114.6.

It's possible that many people in China can't even afford that. Back when the newest iPhone model was $650 I assume the N-2 model was priced even lower than $550.
This is a good description and aligns with my experience of the last decade or so in the industry. VFX for films is the closest to games but I would sooner work in games as an engineer than VFX in terms of compensation or job stability.
a passing remark -- by all means read Wittgenstein's 'Philosophical Investigations' because it is readable as the article says. In the metaphysical world it can be hard cut through the work of its great thinkers. A sensible way to approach Wittgenstein is to start with a college level introductory book on Metaphysics to get the foundational ideas, Categories and Forms of Aristotle and Plato. Some modern philosopher writers can walk us through this nicely (Michale Loux from U of Chicago, his introductory writings or some other perhaps). What might be modern now (Trope Theory, World of States of Affairs, Stage Theory etc), their instigators first came to reject the basics of the ancients but in the end they actually dissect the work of the ancients for us. Travel to Wittgenstein along this path, read him only towards the end. One needs numbers and algebra before calculus.
The key differentiator is that in China your smartphone can in many ways be abstracted down to the platform that runs WeChat. So Apple's key lock-ins like iMessage and FaceTime don't matter and it has to compete on price.

Apple greatly increased prices in the US/EU also and many of these regions are facing a recession too, but according to Tim Cook's letter those consumers didn't abandon the iPhone. What's unique to the Chinese market? WeChat.
Can't speak for other countries but in India, people buy iphones only as a status symbol. They don't really care about privacy or excellent hardware or Apple ecosystem.
You’re just saying that without citing any supporting evidence. It’s fact free.

Yes, but it's a solid foundation that they all try to offer. Raising the bar for what you get from the tool by default, ideally without making assumptions that would exclude it from any use cases.

I'd argue one of the reasons Next.js is so popular is because you can get started with no configuration. It has optional configuration, but all the webpack config, css, hot reloading, route splitting, etc. all serves as a solid foundation.
and that's OK

Apple is not aiming for mass market. In the same way that Chanel or Coach is not aiming for mass market.
How would that do anything but make it worse? If you want a real world example, how about VB6 versus VB7 and its rebrand as VB.NET (though still called VB7 by its team, and the version numbers remain sequential from there). People will fight that language war for the rest of their lives.

Why would it download the 400mb every time you run the game? There are caching and storage APIs in the browser. It's possible that there are some more controls needed for both the user and the site author over this storage space, but that's definitely not a fundamental impediment.

Didn't knew it was actually absolute numbers. Crazy.
Well, yeah. I agree. You escape from several problems in native environments and find another several in the web.
I don't question that the super expensive phones are better than the cheap ones but they are better in ways that are so insignificant to the average person. I got a nexus 5x a few years ago for about $250 and it does everything modern phones do. Yes I have slightly less pixels in my selfie and my screen is still rectangle shaped but is that really worth the extra $800? I suspect its simply a fashion/trend thing pushed mostly by successful marketing telling people that what was amazing 2 years ago is now useless junk and you need to buy a new phone.
There's been quite a bit of discussion on how WeChat is basically the OS of Chinese smartphone users, so as long as a phone runs that the switching costs are pretty low.
I wonder if there's the possibility of something similar happening in the US/West. I've been tempted to try Android but Facetime & iMessage are pretty good at keeping me on iOS.
I always assume everybody uses pnpm, which is the best disk/bandwidth saver utility every written.
