The point is that if Apple's obsession with supply chain integration continues, then at some point even the fabs might be assimilated. This can happen e.g. if their CPU design division needs tighter control over fabrication, or if they develop a key technology at the silicon level that they want to keep out of the hands of their competitors.
Credit card companies charge you 20% but they also charge businesses another 3%. How do they get away with it when the interest rate they are borrowing at is 1/10 of that?

Can confirm - the tour of SLAC is (or was in the early 2000s) a great experience. Apart from the squirrels sitting on the klystrons, I remember a lot of great engineering and 'forward planning': For example, highway 280 was not built when they started construction - but they knew it was coming so they pre-built that bridge that runs 280 over the beamline so that future highway work would not interfere so much with their operations. And they had only just invented lasers - they knew that by the time they had finished construction they would be able use this new invention to align the tubes but they weren't quite there yet with the laser physics so they just left an empty laser calibration tube ready for when someone (machinists?) had completed that part of the engineering (hopefully!). Also I was impressed that their measurement precision is such that they can detect and compensate for the movement of the continental plate associated with the Pacific tides.
I don't have the book at hand right now to cite exact pages, but Dr. Greger's "How Not to Die" has a much better explanation and cited sources on why one would want to avoid oils in favor of the whole plant source. Looking at longevity, it's relative and multifaceted - maybe oils aren't as damaging as not exercising, but it doesn't make them healthy.

i agree with all the others here that the claim by 'chongli' is false & inaccurate and illustrates a person that is incredibly biased due to their a) limited experience, and b) knowledge

this mega-problem of there being insufficient spaces for play in our current society is undeniably a human crisis (tho this likely has always been the case as 'play' as a concept is relatively new in the history of ideas)

if or not there's less overall spaces for play relative to the past is unknown, and it would seem supa difficult to get data on. but if anyone has extensive evidence on the topic, i'll like to see the links

it's likely accurate that most places in 2019 has this problems (that kids dont play outside). but there are also places, including within cities, where kids do run around and play on the roads

i'd say the contingency of this affordance is based on how good of an area you live in to be able to give this privilege of play to kids, as well as everyone else in society

I don't see anywhere that it recommends eating "minimal amount of meat and dairy products". In fact, if you click on the "eat protein foods" part, it specifically recommends lean beef, pork, and poultry as well as milk and yogurt.
This is an important subject. But I suspect that there are nuances that are getting missed here.

Firstly, uncritical love of one's country is not patriotism. Its blind hero worship.

Secondly, the USA has always been based on a blend anti-authority ideology, theology and trade imperialism(expansionism to the west coast <1860 the continent <1930 the world up to now)

The very reason your president is currently dicking about with a budget shutdown is born from anti-authoritarianism constitution. You have a boat load of guns is a logical consequence of anti-authoritarianism.

However through all of this, you still have a dysfunctional legislature and executive.

I sympathize with your criticism, which reflects my first impressions of Smalltalk when I played with Smalltalk 80 on my Atari ST 25 years ago. An impressive system, but isolated from the rest of the universe.

However, today's Pharo has made significant progress with interfacing to "foreign" stuff. The file system has become a first-class citizen of the environment. There is an FFI to work with C libraries. And of course support for network protocols. Source code management is based on Git. It's the GUI that remains in a world (window) of its own, but otherwise Pharo's system integration level is just a notch below languages such as Python or Ruby.
It's really not that confusing. Routers, discrete monitors, or cars are not core to Apple's existing businesses. But of the three, only cars represent a market large enough to be worth pursuing. So that's where Apple invests and attempts to develop competency.

I don't know what the situation is in the US but, here in the UK, we are bombarded with ads for products that claim to prevent or treat gum disease.

Of course, since I suffered from gum disease in my youth, I know the only way to eradicate it is mechanically, in the dentist's chair. The process removes a layer of gum tissue which will not grow back which then means you are much more susceptible to the problem recurring. Extensive oral hygiene thus becomes a way of life.

Regardless of any link with alzheimer's, I would urge anyone to avoid having to go through this and, if you have bleeding gums, go and see a dental professional as soon as possible - expensive mouthwash may mask the problem for a while but it certainly won't cure it.
It's not as simplistic a claim as you might be interpreting it as: another somewhat-well-supported theory of Alzheimer's is that it's essentially diabetes of the brain. [1] The GP's comment re: carbs and sugar was presumably referencing that theory.

>But I didn't really feel a lot more enlightened after reading what they do.

I did. After all the advice that they don't really need to be expert coders and only need to be able to have conversations about coding, and not actually do much coding at all (let alone serious coding) it's obvious to me that they're paid spokesmen who just happen to have a technical bent. They're supposed to connect the company to coders who don't current work for the company, either for PR or for recruiting.

The answer to the first question really set my teeth on edge. Complaining that most of their job is staying in hotels and waiting in airports? Don't take a travel job then.

Yet it is the Billionaires that keep the inequality in place, they keep the minimum wage static, raise prices, destroy quality of life for the majority by removing social funding.

Publicly funded projects work, CERN, NASA, the Internet, Telco Technology, all funded by taxpayers. It's proven we don't need these Billionaires. Their talent is welcome but not worth the lives of everyone else. There is plenty of great individuals that are not as greedy as your clients.

> Those entrepreneurs, like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Bezos, Page, Zuckerberg, build very powerful monopolies and amass billions.

And what do they (or their descendants) do now? It is also worth noting that the Federal Reserve (the biggest scam of all) which keeps printing money out of thin air at will was the idea of a group that included Morgan (or Rockefeller).
How to Stop Rogue Gene-Editing of Human Embryos?
For comparison, I live in a US suburb with a population density of around 1K people per square mile, and is a good example of a place where packs of children regularly play outdoors on any neighborhood street you care to walk down (maybe not as many who once would have, and children's screen time is a problem here like anywhere) despite the low population density. Some neighborhood characteristics:
* 30 minute drive away from downtown. 40 min during rush hour.
* Home prices here are much more affordable for single income families like us. Our monthly payment on a 6 bedroom house in the suburb costs the same as rent on the average 2 bedroom apartment in the city, and several $hundred less than the average 3 bedroom.
* The farther away from the city center, the lower crime tends to be, and parents are more willing to send their children out for unsupervised play. More children are visible despite living in a much less densely populated neighborhood.
* Local children's play groups are easy to find on social media, meetup.com, etc.
* Major tech center 15 min drive away.
* Supply of local jobs exceeds people available to fill them, resulting in below average unemployment, and greater than average incomes.
* Bikable neighborhoods - many multi-use paths separate from car traffic, so we worry less about sending kids out on their bicycles to neighborhood parks or biking with young kids in a trailer. Often shared with horseback riders, which our kids are always excited about. Also makes for a more pleasant bicycle commute to work (at least, until I get closer to the city).
* Trails and nature easily accessed - without getting in my car, I can and do run or bike from my doorstep up into mountain trails with a nice view of the valley.

And of course there are disadvantages:
* Commute time. It takes me 28 minutes to get to work in the morning, so I lose almost an hour per day to travel, but this is relatively ok compared to other cities.
* Fewer public transportation options - must transfer from the train to a bus to get to my remote corner of the metro area. These days it's easier to take Uber to the nearest train station when my car is not available.
* Fewer night life options within walking distance of home
* Fewer dining options within walking distance of home
* Businesses have difficulty hiring, with so few people looking for work who are not already employed.
* Not near a coast

All of this is to say, if growing a family in a neighborhood with other families with children is a priority, there are absolutely affordable cities around the US where you can make this happen. Even on a single income. Even in low population density areas. Even without giving up access to a nearby metro area and all of the culture and services it has to offer. If you are not willing to move to any of those places, maybe there is something more important to you, as has already been said.

> The reason glasses cost so much is because one company owns: (1) nearly all brand name frames including Ray-Ban, Oakley, Prada eyewear, Armani eyewear and so on, (2) nearly all retail stores such as LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical and Target Optical and (3) EyeMed, one of the largest vision insurance companies.

The vast majority of my glasses' cost is the lenses, last time around they cost me >$200 each IIRC. I didn't even change the frames, just got the lenses replaced.
I think nicer in this case means just having one. OpenBSD doesn't have one at all (unless you count cli as UI).
Yeah. That recipe looks pretty rough. I hate it when people try to transform unhealthy dishes into healthy "treats".

Just serve pasta with olive oil, some sort of acid (lemon juice, rotating cast of vinegars, tomatoes), and maybe a little grated sharp cheese if you really need that.

Honestly, I'd rather just eat barley, farro, or bulgur in a bowl than try to force whole grains into crumbly pasta. But I guess that's a matter of taste.

The big problem with this dish is the relative lack of umami. Sauteed mushrooms (shitake, portabella) really help here if you don't want to use meat. Or nutritional yeast really does the trick here. Depending on your palette, various fish sauces also help, though most Canadians probably aren't adding fermented fish products on everything.

Ask HN: What are some small things that makes a website look Good/Bad/Annoying?
So true! I'm doing body weight strength training and I'm amazed about the results. What is important is to annotate everything on a spreadsheet, in order to gauge progress, understand the concept of progression, and build a program that covers the whole body. But, don't obsess about the program, two years ago, when I started, my program was bad, and I have been improving it gradually, as I have been learning things. Due to work constrains I can't have a fixed plan (the same every Monday, Wednesday, ...) so I have to adapt constantly, which is great, as the results have been good. Bodyweight training adapts well to your life (not the other way around) and you can even workout in a hotel room!
They're metal legs with a plastic coating that was molded, in my case. Can't really bend them or reshape them.

And for the plastic ones, it would mean the ends of the legs would be rather short, leaving them to sit funny on the desk when open and possibly more likely to fall off if you lean forward.
There's a lot of comments about our UI and I thought I'd post a quick followup here instead of replying to each one individually. We are definitely reading these comments. UI itself is polarizing, and changing a UI moreso, but there's a lot of critical feedback here that we're going to investigate, try to understand and improve.
That's insane.

I've recently bought a pair of regular glasses as well as prescription sunglasses. Regular ones use Mont Blanc frames(considered expensive) + some pretty good lenses(best ones they offered anyway). Total cost: £400 for everything.

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban frames + their own Ray-Ban G15 prescription lens(again, pretty expensive) - total cost £320 for everything.

I just don't understand - how are those people you mention paying 1000 euro for glasses(I assume you mean lenses)????? Are they some incredibly complex custom lenses that they are getting? Mine are for nearsightedness + slight astigmatism in one eye.

I mean, if you like. I find these equivalences weird, of course you try to make a good first impression but I see a pretty big difference between make up / outfits, etc. and hiring somebody to pretend to be the best side of a fake you. The latter is an intentional lie, while the former is socially accepted, pretty transparent and more importantly expected - it's not like we assume the other person wakes up in full makeup / a nice suit.

As for the permanent measures you bring forward, it's not like even modern and progressive societies aren't still split on purely esthetical beauty surgery. But then again that's an odd example because that's people's own choice and permanently changes their own looks so I do not really see how that really relates to the service debated here.

Somewhat ironically my lack of debt made it possible for us to move to Europe from the US, though I do have to make sure I earn a decent living (very good by European standards, so-so by US standards) to pay off the wife's aforementioned debt (we agreed to this ahead of time).

> The real question is why should they care. I mean even if you give them stocks, by the time they vest, they would have got their money. After that you can go work for whomever you like.

Apple’s executive team is not known for ditching the company the moment their stocks vest.
It's hard to see them making any money on cars anytime soon. Autonomous cars are at least 20 years away. Profit margins on cars isn't even close to that of an iPhone. Also it would be entering an entirely new field of business that not only require the R&D to make the car, they also need the infrastructure to handle sales and repairs.

Apple does have the money to pull it off, if they want to. I would just question if they'd profit from the project.
>I think a lot of people would actually be better off starting life with nothing and living somewhere cheap rather than starting with -$50,000+ and a huge rent bill every month. After all, we have the internet. But too many people don't discover this until it's too late, and they are shackled with a lifetime of obligations.

I mean, sure, if it's likely you are going to spend your life making very little money, then sure, avoiding debt at the outset should be paramount. But getting some education, for most people, is probably the strongest thing they can do to decrease the chances that they will spend their life making very little money. I would argue that the next biggest thing you can do is to surround yourself with people who are going the direction you want to go.

I think the social and personal development sides of a metropolis are also pretty great. If I want to, (and I do) I can spend all day around people who are smarter than I am. I mean, substitute in your own figure of merit; no matter what you value, if you are in a dense area, chances are, you can find a group of people you can surround yourself with who have a lot of it.

This isn't just because of the migration of people who are financially able into the cities... this is also because there are more people of any type that are within your reach; there's a much larger and more diverse pool of people from which to pick your friends. If you are the average of the three people you spend the most time with? you want to be in a dense area where you can choose three really amazing people.

My own impresison, as someone who makes a good living without a degree, is that where you live actually matters a lot more if you don't have a degree; the difference in sysadmin jobs between silicon valley and less dense places is absolutely huge; much greater than the difference, say, in doctor jobs or even software engineer jobs.
