Yes this is how I feel also.

I constantly hear the phrase "This wouldn't have happened under Jobs" and it pisses me off. Apple had loads of problems with hardware under Jobs.

You're right Apple should do better. I always factor AppleCare into the machine cost the same way I used to with Lenovo's 3 year on-site warranty upgrade after they changed it to depot by default and Dell's Plus warranty option, etc.

IMHO Apple isn't any better or worst than they have ever been but they are getting cheaper with things like removing the AC extension cable, not including a USB-C to USB-A dongle like Dell, etc. do

Considering how much of a lottery it is buying a Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft laptop is though there isn't much you can do. Apple is usually 20-30% more expensive but I have easily wasted 200+% in time waiting around for Dell engineers or shipping a unit back to Microsoft (as they don't even offer on-site in Europe!).

> Bruley said detectives learned about the potential value of the practice and how to write the warrant applications at an August training seminar held by ZetX, an Arizona-based company that teaches police about cellphone investigations, and sells software called TRAX that generates legal documents and maps cellphone data to assist in analysis. The company holds trainings all across the country.

> Material from the U.S. Department of Justice was presented, said Bruley, including suggested language for use in these types of warrants.

I found this bit to be concerning as well. Create software that is more valuable with more warrants? "Train" officers on how to carefully write warrants to sneak them past overworked and less-technologically-sophisticated judges. Judicial deception as business development.
Spend a few years putting in 100-hour weeks writing collision detection for this year's Dora the Explorer game -- a typical game industry position -- and you will be thankful for the crud Java app job.
Lots of mentions of quitting to become a truck driver. Perhaps some people should research becoming an airline pilot. The hours and travel are similar to that of a truck driver but you’re staying in hotels, have access to healthier food, and work in a generally more comfortable environment.

Upfront investment and low starting pay are the main hurtles. The job itself is very rewarding in my opinion but you will need to spend 3-5 years at the bottom rungs before you start seeing financial upside. Having been in this career for some time now I know I would never even think to look back at life in a cubicle.

abebooks (part of amazon) sells a lot of international editions. https://www.abebooks.com/books/Textbooks/international-editi...

It makes sense to sell the same book at lower prices in parts of the world where the regular price is unaffordable. Importing those books back to the US is not what publishers want, but I think isn't illegal.

Based on my small sample of friends: no, it's really not.

It used to be, but these days there's too many other options for cheap and strong materials, and places and methods to get parts made. There's definitely ways to position yourself to make good money, especially if you have connections and experience, but it's certainly not as simple as "set up a shop and make a good living".
Bezos quotes an article about AWS, "..in fact Amazon's real business down the line will be its cloud services. Amazon will be like a bookstore that sells cocaine out the back door. Book will just be a front."
I've noticed that it's all come full-circle for me again too, when it comes to purchasing from Amazon. It seems that I can't even trust the "verified purchase" reviews anymore.

What is your data retention policy?
Yup, this happened to me: I saw a very low price on a Chez Scheme book and bought it. I am fairly certain the book was an unauthorized copy. I felt like the author and publisher were cheated, but to be honest I did the simplest thing and just kept the book and I am gentle with it when opening it for reading so it does not fall apart.
> Good thing it's just a vocal minority.

Are you being sarcastic? The "very vocal minority" has seemingly limitless power to ruin people's lives over words they don't like. Businesses are forced to close, professors are forced to resign. We're passed the point of being able to say "it's just the internet," and it's time we all acknowledged that.
Well, for one, there is some exception to Section 230 in the realm of intellectual property, which is an angle that could be pursued, but there's been some "conflicting rulings" on it. But I think Amazon would argue that their publishing service is an interactive computer service, and that they are not the providers of the infringing information.

Which is to say, it's possible Section 230 would not apply here, but Amazon's extremely expensive lawyers would probably fight like heck to include it anyways.
Parsing Numbers in Elixir
Your situation has nothing to do with Amazon or counterfeit books.

The "not for sale in US" editions are international editions that are usually made with cheaper materials and sometimes with different graphics to avoid royalties. These books usually have the content and are usually in black and white but sometimes there are slight content changes. It's not usually the best idea to buy one of these unless you know it's identical, check the reviews. You need to use the ISBN to find the US edition if you don't want to gamble on a cheap international edition. Funny story, I bought an international edition once, used it for the semester, then sold it back to the third-party bookstore in town for more than I bought it for.
This is great, but 8 weeks is far too short to measure such fickle things.
Bit of a Catch-22 problem, don't you think?
I’ve had this battle with myself and my purpose for as long as I remember. I even try to convince myself that somehow what I do improves lives but frankly I could give a shit. I am not talking as a privileged white male although that’s who I am, I grew up in poverty and know what hunger feels like and know what hard work is having done a fair bit of manual labor. At the end of the day I have to look at the broad picture and say to myself “well if I didn’t do it, someone may not have had a pleasant time when they were trying to do X on this website, I helped make their experience less stressful”. I realize that experience is just encouraging consumption or lining pockets of rich fat cats but I don’t know how else to feel good about myself. I really shouldn’t. There are times where I envy real jobs, but the. I look at how real jobs treat people and I have to be thankful for the situation I’m in. Who gets to work from home on their terms, their time and not have to put up with asshole bosses? Who gets to chose when they work? Not many people. Do I deserve it? Probably not, but I figured out that life is but a set of constraints on an otherwise limitless mind. You can do anything you want and yet people don’t. I’m always amazed at the power that is choice and which is easily available to most people in most circumstances, they just make the wrong choices or conjure up reasons why something can’t be or must be this way only. I think about these things all the time- like what if I decide this right now instead of that - where will life take me? The number of possibilities is mind boggling. Sorry for ranting, I’m not really sure where this is going. Well, I am staring at a screen :(
Not having access to a powerful computer makes you appreciate the finer things in life, like hand-bumming instructions till your inner loop hits a hard deadline.
We have one of these. Aside from the mechanical differences (it's actually a 2.5U server due to how the power cables connect to consumer cards), you're losing out on NVLink. You're going to be restricted to single-card training, which means either batching or other restrictions to ensure it fits in the memory of a single card. This setup is able to train four one-card models in parallel; it is not able to train a four-card model.
There's a fantastic book called "The Body Keeps the Score" that touches on some of your observations here.

I agree with your point about the library. Maybe I'm just weird, but typically I'll read one, MAYBE two books at a time before moving on to another. Because of this, I really don't need the app to show me my library like this every time because its not like I'll be hopping around between books several times within an hour. I can see how this library setup makes sense for a music player or some sort of gaming platform, but it feels like for books they're just bringing the feature along without considering whether or not it makes sense. I guess it is nice to be able to gaze upon your library and think "wow I've read a lot" or "wow I have a lot of options to read", but I"m not sure I'd say that's worth the start up time.
>By all accounts the XS is a great phone. If I had anything other than the X, I would have upgraded.

I upgraded to XS Max from 7+ and I regret it. LTE issues due to Intel modem are bad enough to launch a class action lawsuit.
> Microbiota could influence psychology and thus physiology, or it could directly affect physiology and thus psychology.

On maybe it's neither and also both. Personally I think Physiology vs Psychology is the wrong terminology to use: Psychology's domain is the mind which is a somewhat abstract concept, and usually refers to things in terms of thoughts and emotions. Our "psychology" is an emergent property of our physiology, but to me it seems like the wrong abstraction to use as a reference point when speaking about the pathology of something like Schizophrenia.

Rather, what I think we're more concretely talking about is the division between nervous system structure (physiology), and activity (which includes, but is broader than psychology).

To me, saying the physiology affects the physiology implies the wrong interpretation: i.e. it would be inaccurate to say that the gut bacteria made rat feel certain emotions or have certain thoughts, and those led to long term structural damage. However, it might very well be the case that the gut biome causes a neural activity pattern which leads to long-term pathological adaptations in nervous system structure.

If I had to guess, there's probably not a one-way causal relationship, but these systems likely feed back on each-other in a way which results in the symptomatology we describe as Schizophrenia.
lol yea, we are still working on our choosing process. Right now it's really just our preferences vs the criteria we've set up using NewsApi.
I had a coworker who had a 2,000 line PR that took me 3 days to review, it was like code breaking. Custom abstractions upon custom abstractions, abstractions in custom imported utilities for a one-liner that was only used once. Basically, instead of writing the code, he made code that generated the code that was needed, once the program was running. Dear Lord. Like somehow this monstrosity was good because instead of creating the feature, he built tooling to make many identical features whenever we want! Except nothing can be different, if it's different we need to rewrite the whole thing.

Every 4 hours or so I would ask my boss if I really had to do it. He told me to just keep going, I think he was building a case for letting him go. I still only made like 10 comments, needless to say they weren't taken well. What a nightmare.

Tangential to this whole thread, but guys like that, every day he worked took two days for other devs to fix/undo his work. Took my company a few years to catch on, he was a senior dev and also good at talking himself up. I would have paid him the same salary to go sit on a beach somewhere and enjoy himself instead of touching the code, we'd all have been happier. In fact the world would be a better place, because now he is presumably working somewhere else doing the same things.
I'll go back even further. Remember when police used honey pot wifi access points at the DAPL protests? Remember the hippie's getting beat at occupy?

You don't need to lecture me. I'm with you. In fact, I participated in the Restore the 4th protests just after the Snowden leaks.

What I'm saying is let's not cry wolf here. Yes surveillance technology can be used to set up a system of oppression. So can many other state apparatuses. If the state had such desire it could skip the middle man of surveillance and skip straight to martial law. That is why we have a system of courts and warrants and checks and balances etc.

A warrant for data highly limited in terms of scope in time and place isn't a threat to civil liberties. A blank check for a Nation State Actor to get any data it wants, anytime, without giving any cause is a threat to civil liberties. We make ourselves look bad when we confuse the two.

Mandatory retirement at 65. So I suppose you wouldn’t want to get started any later than 55 or so.

The company I worked for previously hired a 64 year old. He had always dreamed of being an airline pilot and went ahead and made it happen for a year.
As far as I can tell ebay has fake protection for buyers, they hold onto the transaction for a window of time and the buyer can report a fake, etc.
Half of these seem poorly thought out, and this seems poorly written for someone of that position. For instance, #3 blinding lights, is easily mitigated by #2 non-ambient/thermal vision. #4, sound weapons are going to effect everyone in the tunnel, so offense is limited. #10 foam grenades, are less effective for concealment, and ineffective as cover, most outgas toxic and flamable vocs. Existing procedure of collapsing tunnel has neither downside and accomplished with existing, legacy, and improvised tech. I won't even touch on headlamps, and insisting on an actual live canary.

Thanks to ALPR-laden vehicles constantly cruising around collecting this data for sleazy companies like Vigilant, this is probably already happening.

This will be made even easier as more car manufacturers start installing GPS, wifi and 4G as standard features so they can double dip by collecting data on the people who pay them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for a car.

Back in the day, when song piracy was hot in the news, you'd hear of people claiming that each song pirated had cost the copyright own over $150K.

Amazon has little incentive to stop selling counterfeit goods.

It is simply not reasonable to believe that they are not capable of accurately preventing counterfeit goods from surviving in their site. Remember, this is the same company run by the brilliant micromanaging CEO. Everything that happens within Amazon is known to him.

If an individual setup their own website and sold counterfeit goods, the feds would come down on them hard. So you have to wonder what keeps Amazon immune from being shut down for willfully breaking laws...

It's one thing for counterfeits to be found among all of the 3rd party resellers ... but this is just beyond pale.

I think NYC was wrong to kill 25K jobs on the general merits - but - if Bezos wanted the counterfeiting problem solved, it would be solved. Ergo - Bezos is a counterfeiter.

Think of all of the other 'competitive advantages' that Amazon has - now they use their 3rd party an in-house counterfeiters to screw other value chain members as well.
Or if one lived more modestly. If the person making $200k/year lives on $100k/year and saves the rest, they'd still need to cut back a bit to drop to $50k/year, but not nearly so much.

Mortgage and family would make that more difficult, but from my perspective ($80k/year, single, and quite comfortably not spending even half of that), $200k/year certainly sounds "wealthy enough" to me.

A Philosopher Asked Physicists: ‘What Is a Black Hole?’
I think we should just let people be allowed to die by medical assisted death and be it mental or physical pain (whatever illness). I've known persons with gender dysphoria who want to end their life and they're rational people. The medical system even has assisted death but ignores these people in pain and they turn to self suicide. Some fail and end up in worse states emotionally & financially.

“This article is probably full of potholes, errors and half-baked thoughts.”

To chip in some thoughts:

1. If you use chrome, you cannot fully disable tracking. Even if you use chromium, you can’t enable sign-in, which pretty well neuters a lot of great features. Even Firefox collects info about you so you need to configure it more than he says.

2. AdNauseam, etc esp with Adblock seems extremely questionable.

3. If you use Google.com, Android OS, or any google services, they track you. So much for installing Firefox and uBlock...

4. Install a privacy tool like Privacy Badger or Disconnect. Surprised I didn’t see this on the list, even from 2017.

You seem to be missing the fact that the infrastructure in place is sufficient to not only specify but also enforce the properties needed for all the functions you describe.

> I thought one of the beauty of vue template is 'It is not complete set of JavaScript logics, only subset that just able to support proper html structure.'.

The problem with all templating systems is that they start with "we need to limit the amount of logic". But all templating systems find out that this is extremely limiting. So they grow. And grow. And grow. And grow.

Same with Vue. The amount of special cases and custom things just grows and grows. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19199423

You need simple conditional logic. So you end up with v-if and v-else. Then you have to add v-if-else.

You need loops. So you end up with a custom DSL for v-for. And then you expand it to also work on objects. And you need to bind to object produced inside the for loop. And...

And you need to handle events. But events are anything but simple. You need to prevent them, you need to stop or start propagation, you need access to their properties. So you end up with v-on:click.stop.prevent. And function calls. And magic variables in the form of $event.

Worse still, all your existing knowledge about how to apply these concepts in JS is void. Template has taken over.

So in the end you end up with a system that is not really HTML, not really JS, but a weird combination of the two. And the amount of concepts is not exactly more readable than plain React that just uses JS everywhere.
