I wonder if this applies to chains, or to situations where multiple restaurants are owned by the same person/company? Some of my favorite local restauranteurs own three or four places, with different focus, but often a lot of customer overlap.
You have this backwards. Apple’s shoddy (but slim!) cable construction notwithstanding, the Lightning male metal bit is quite strong. The parts that wear out are the springy parts in the female connector. USB-C puts the springy parts in the male connector.

(Lightning also seems prone to arcing or overheating damage to the power pins. Source: visual inspection of my many failed Apple and third-party Lightning cables.)
I don't think the comment you are responding to means "the speeds at which it will stall are lower compared to earlier 737 variations," but rather "at low speeds, it has a greater chance of stalling compared to earlier 737 variations."

Interesting, it is not very common to give kids piles of presents in Central Europe. I remember having to ask my parents to merge my birthday with Christmas when I wanted an average PC, and my parents are certainly not poor.

It is very uncommon for friends or wider family circles to give anything big to a kid. Maybe clothes, a book, a little toy, sweets, ... usually it is more for the parents, especially with kids younger than 4

I knew one or two exceptional kids that got A LOT, and they were from a background where the parents certainly couldn’t afford it, which somehow makes sense.
You're missing the point.

It's fun and is a great way to see an example of polarization in the real world.
For all the criticism that Vice gets from the anti-pc crowd that read - to me at least - as a perfectly neutral and fact based article about someone who is something of a curiousity.
I have a 3yo and it definitely does feel like a shame on Christmas and birthdays to make her put down something exciting she's just received to open another present.

Part of the problem is that my extended family are all overseas, and they want to see picture messages of her with the gifts they sent! They are understandably sad to missing out on these events themselves, so use gifts as a way to show their love.

My wife and I end up figuring out who would be least offended and putting those gifts aside for the next day. We have to make sure we don't forget though! We recently found some books on top of the fridge that were hastily hidden on Christmas day!
This is when you open up devtools and remove the pesky obstacles.
Thanks for explaining how to make it work on iPhone. Adding a notice message for iPhone users to disable silent mode on their phone would be good since I would have never guessed.
Back when I was on Mac, I used Glyphs Mini[1] - it wasn't the cheapest, but it had a nice UI, did what I needed as a non-expert, and was much cheaper than the "full" version.

That's an interesting way to fix a problem!
> I use the iPad Pro at my full-time job as a Software Engineer at Microsoft.

This surprises me. I'm not an engineer, but the main pain point for me with the iPad Pro is the crappy UX of Google Drive. Is there a huge difference between the Google suite and the MS suite on the iPad? I'm legit looking for a PC laptop right now because I need something to work on emails and Drive-type work, at the coffeeshop, and my MacBook Pro is not enjoyable to type on.
That describes the process by which black people were excluded from a neighborhood, not the process by which the neighborhoods were chosen to be in the suburbs rather than the cities.
> has a chance of facing a stall at lower speeds than earlier 737 variations

No, that's not the issue. The issue is that, because of the pitch up moment created by the engines, at higher angles of attack the force required to move the yoke decreases instead of increasing. That's (a) a highly undesirable characteristic since the changing feedback confuses pilots and makes it hard for them to know when a stall is imminent, and (b) a violation of FAA certification requirements. MCAS was added to compensate for the pitch up moment from the engines by adding nose down trim, so the yoke force would be similar to that of previous 737 models.
Subways are underground
I wonder if this would have a negative effect on the earlier presents.

For instance if you give your child presents over 5 days. Will the first day's gift be old hat by the fifth day?

What a first-world problem!
Assuming we (Earth) get some reasonable warning time for a problematic impact, the logistics of alerting -and then moving- a large metropolitan area like NYC, for example, are interesting. Where do we place these people? What about the city's infrastructure? Do we just stand by, brace for impact and hope for the best? Or is there something more we could do to mitigate the disaster? I know a lot of that depends on the amount of time beforehand, but I find the problem intriguing.

That's not what VC's obsession about scale is all about. Volume matters. Millions of poor parents buying diapers can make an empire.
Two recent events relevant to scientific authority: the past recommendation of a nutritional pyramid that contributed to a generation of obesity and the anti-vaxxer movement that has resulted in a measles outbreak. Neither of these are black and white scenarios. Perhaps the nutritional pyramid had some positive effects. And perhaps not getting vaccinated has resulted in the savings of thousands of lives. Scientific authority rests not on being right, but on reasoned disclosure of evidence.

We have "scientific studies" being paid for by companies with a vested interest in the results. (Disclosure, I am writing this on an iMac with my iPhone sitting next to me). Today you can read how the Apple iWatch will detect AFIB. It is a study paid for by Apple, published by Stanford Medicine. From med.stanford.edu "The results of the Apple Heart Study highlight the potential role that innovative digital technology can play in creating more predictive and preventive health care". And who can argue with the truth of that?

But certainly the study is presented with the expectation of encouraging people to buy Apple products. Neither the Apple site nor the Stanford site make it clear that false positives for AFIB can result in unnecessary medical procedures along with their financial costs and health risks.

I'm not singling out of Apple or Stanford - I have great respect for both of them - but I have less trust in them than I did yesterday. There are far worse instances: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074....

Bringing back scientific authority requires earning trust.
It's called an explosion, but it's more of a conversion of kinetic energy to heat due to friction against the air. As the rock heats up, it starts to fall apart, and then smaller pieces go through that as well.

Here's a neat simulation of the process:

I used my iPad Mini quite a lot for browsing and reading, but since I got a dedicated eReader it's mostly been collecting dust.

I think if I had a bigger iPad it might find some use, but I can't really justify the cost for the minimal benefit over simply using my laptop instead (even as someone with a decent income).
It doesn't matter which of those two the poster meant; they're both wrong as descriptions of the effect of the new engines on the 737 MAX. See my other post upthread.
A lot of European countries have unlimited data for data SIMs (Finland, Austria, Estonia, France, Switzerland and many more). With such SIM cards you can completely replace your home internet. I used that for a while and downloaded 1TB+ a month for less than 20 Euro. That would put me to 2ct/Gigabyte which would be even cheaper than what is quoted here.

I think what matters more than the price for the gigabyte is what you get in service for that. I'm absolutely happy to pay 50 EUR or more a month if the service is good.

I have to agree and disagree. I agree, that XMPP clients are not very good. And horrible on iOS (and MacOSX). I disagree, that Matrix has good clients. Riot is an OK web client, but too slow and too confusing for my taste. And native desktop clients, like Nheko or Quaternion, are not yet very useful. XMPP has many more mature clients at the moment.
Children are driven mainly by emotion. Particularly young children. Pain is an emotion that tends to override other emotions. A brief, sharp pain can snap them out of an emotional loop they found themselves caught in. Since the pain is very brief, they tend to revert back to a much more reasonable state afterwards.

All that said, yes there is a difference between parenting and abuse. However, children are not tiny adults. They are tiny humans. You can often tell how they are feeling or why they are feeling that way, but it isn't by thinking the way a well-adjusted adult would. The whole point of parenting is to help them get to that point eventually.
I have 5 large child care facilities in walking distance (< 15 minutes), countless smaller ones, 4 supermarket chains within 10 minutes plus all the smaller stores and I don't even live in a particular dense area of Berlin. The denser the city gets, the more options can be made available within a certain distance.
I was once told by someone close to me that “Caring for the environment is nice and all, but we’re not going to stop living for it”.
So I am not surprised by how people are acting right now.
You are right, and this thread is depressing.
Exactly. May be have good documentation, engineering practices and don't oversell a new model claiming "works exactly like the earlier model"?
I'm curious. Do OpenTable-enabled places get significantly more diners because they're able to compare multiple places for a single time slot? Or is the value simply that it makes booking easy for consumers?

If it's the latter then I'm surprised there aren't already cheap plugin systems for Wordpress that would do the same thing.

I didn't realise that OpenTable has a whole booking.com style website, including the "booked 15 times in the last microsecond!" nonsense. Feeling somewhat like a luddite now, I've only ever used it when trying to book a table at a specific restaurant (i.e. via the restaurant's website).
I also don't know what the evidence suggests specifically, which is why I'd have to do a survey of the academic literature or ask about the consensus.
I was thinking about this recently — the path to owning a small business in the 2020s goes through social media. Which means that the founder has to put an uncomfortable amount of their personal life on display in order to “sell” their brand. Anyone “hustling” at 2 or 3 gig jobs has to self-promote via those same platforms.

Basically, the only workers who are allowed total privacy anymore are white-collar middle managers. We don’t trust low-level workers and feel the need to keep tabs on them, while executives have been expected to carefully cultivate a squeaky-clean public image for the last 30-ish years.

But it basically comes down to “how much of my privacy to I have to trade for a paycheck?” The answer varies based on income level...
That is not true. It depends on the company and what information you're expected to exchange. Everything was end-to-end encrypted in my previous job.

> I thought when I first started using it, it was proxing Google and not Bing

It probably was, it proxied google when I first used it, then at some point about 8 years ago or so it switched to bing and for a while I switched over to ixquick, but switched back to ddg and just got used to it proxying bing when ixquick dumbed their page down to match startpage.
Apple users love dongles though.
I certainly agree that a larger company requires different decisions, but I think that they fail to even state their case correctly. Perhaps they have a reached a size where a hyper-simplified product line would be leaving an unacceptable amount of money on the table as they successfully saturate their normal customer base. Even in that world, it doesn't mean that the product line has to be so fundamentally confusing and lacking in narrative. These same products could be pitched similar to how I said in my comment: tell me why I want these aside from their price differentiation. Don't make me feel that I'm fundamentally choosing an iPad over an iPad Pro because the better chip doesn't fit in my budget. An iPad comparison matrix shouldn't be necessary with proper story telling: https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/. That page is right out of the Dell playbook of comparing 17 different monitors that have obscure and highly technical differences.

But, going back to the stories affecting the product design, I feel that increasingly Apple products rely on incidental and manufactured differentiation vs. essential differentiation. I can tell that they have refrained from putting the better chip into a certain model (since that better chip fits into an iPhone just fine), instead of the very nature of that model of course not allowing that sort of chip. I know this is harder, but fundamentally what I'm saying is "take the low end seriously". Like I mentioned in my other comment, if the "iPad mini" was more like an "iPad Active", and perhaps was more resistant to wear and tear (could survive being dropped if you're skateboarding for example), then all of a sudden the model takes on a personality. It is less powered, but more rugged, there is a tradeoff that feels earned. Instead, the tradeoff feels entirely driven by budget windows.
How do we know doctors aren't being paid speaking fees and payouts by pharma companies? It has happened before I guess with Opioids.

Airfields tend to be easier to build on flat, level ground. Strategic reconnaissance and airborne command aircraft make sense to base in a geographically central location so they can easily cover the entire continent.
I did 2.5 miles each way, mixture of up and downhill for school. As a late teen I cycled 10-15 miles each way up a massive hill, 2/3 times a week for amateur theatre rehearsals, on top of the walk to school/work. It was great for me. Despite eating rubbish I was in fantastic shape.
I had a project to map out a whole bunch of relationships between various software configuration parameters of a vendor product. This was a lot of XML but also some CSV and JSON data. There's probably a ton of ways to do it, but I just spent some time extracting "facts" from this data into RDF. I didn't know what any of it was or how it all fit together but there were a lot of UUIDs and such.

Once I had "everything" in RDF, using SPARQL queries to nose around was a really great way to find arbitrary relationships. I then used GraphViz to map out everything and it was very helpful to see how everything fit together. Could've probably used a regular database, or a key value store, but working with just flat files transformations at the command line was nice.

I've also since used it manage a knowledge base and generate documentation and presentations. I haven't even used much of OWL or higher levels of abstraction yet, but just from a hack up something standpoint I think it is a pretty nice set of ideas to get basic graph operations just about anywhere you may need it, in the shell, in the browser, or in a backend project. Large sets of data may require something else, but anything less than 1g of data is rather performant IMHO.

You're the Truffle Ruby person, yeah? Hi!

Re: method_missing, I supoose it's not as easy to understand as I thought, which is to say if I understood it better, I could explain it better. The best I can do is this...

1. A typical method call in Java means "I pass a message (args) to a method on some object, and block until I get a response", which usually means building of up stack of blocking calls waiting for a response". The message passing is sending the message, which in Java is tightly coupled to receiving the response.

2. In Erlang, you might have a process (think of it as an object for this example [1]), that sends a message to another process. The sending process doesn't need to wait for a response. Erlang does have function calls that feel pretty much exactly like method calls in Java, and then there is message passing between processes, and that separation makes the differences more clear to me, which is not to say I understand things correctly.

3. method_missing in Ruby is kind of like sending a letter in the mail to Santa Clause. There is no physical address for Santa (aka an undefinded function), but someone at the post office looks at the intended destination (SantaClause.mailing_address) of the North Pole and message itself ("I have been good, and want a Nitendo Swith for Xmas"), and determines how to respond (method_missing) to the message.

I do not know if this explanation is any good, so please be kind :) Doing my best!

You are partially correct. Only partially because it only takes a small number of actual racist to make a difference. Even if 90% of a suburb doesn't care about race, that 10% can still make a difference by making the unwanted feel unwelcome.

I don't know how to solve this.
I feel like I might be falling into some kind of fallacy, but it seems at first glance like your argument supports GP's.

If Electron is such a horrible platform that you literally can't write performant software with it, and Slack's performance problems are really a huge problem for regular users, and yet as a massive company with a singular product they still rely on it, then I would guess at least one of two things should be true:

A) Native app development is actually way more horrible than most people say, and Electron's experience is so much better that even a company as big as Slack finds it preferable to building a dedicated Mac team.

OR, B) Slack's dev team just may not actually care all that much about performance in the first place, and they might just be writing a poorly optimized app on top of a poorly optimized platform which exasperates all of its problems.

Or, maybe a combination of the two. I dunno.

Anecdotally using Slack within a web browser (which should get rid of some of Electron's downsides since it's no longer a separate browser instance) I still occasionally see slowdown and issues with the App. Not nearly as bad as, say, Twitter, but not great. Certainly not as performant as I would expect an interface this simple to be.

So while it's silly to claim that Electron doesn't have an impact on performance, I suspect that even if the Slack team was writing native apps, they still might end up with a piece of software that has problems. Maybe fewer of them, or maybe even more, since you can get away with a lot of bad architecture in a C++ program before you hit the same bottlenecks like loading time or typing lag.

Are we sure that the Slack team wouldn't just view a native codebase as license to cut even more corners with performance?
I think Resource Description Framework (RDF) is overkill.

The underlying idea that is triple store (reminiscence of Entity-Attribute-Value model) is a good idea because it allows to model data with less overhead than a graph database will do over the same problem. Think of a list of items attached to a node or hypergraphs. All that is easier to do in a triple store.

Actually, I think that triple stores are not given enough buzz. Most of RDF buzz is around ontologies (aka. standard vocabulary for describing things). Datomic prooves that triple store is a great idea in itself.

Datomic is RDF in disguise. That is, it implements a versioned triple store and a language similar to SPARQL (based on core.logic (aka. clojure's minikanren))).

When you think about it, a versioned database is a gem when it comes to debugging. Versioning a database is next to the best idea of the decade and that would not have been possible with another model than the triple store model.

The idea of database versioning or more generally versioning of structured data, especially versioning ala git is making its way through academia (see https://project-hobbit.eu/) and outside academia (cf. https://qri.io/) to help with the vast amount of data that is flowing.
See my above comment on why this is a fallacy. PPP isn’t magic, it only affects goods that are difficult to arbitrage.

This is why oil is the same price pretty much everywhere in the oil. Because if oil was cheaper (including taxes and transport) in one place, someone would buy it and sell it somewhere else.

When everyone is doing this, it equalizes the prices. This is because arbitrage drives up the price of cheaper oil and drives down the price of the expensive
> So what are tablet users going to leave the iPad for? All of the great Android tablets available?

I live in Los Angeles; The Mecca for the automobile. Back in the early 20th century, the city was trying really hard to invest in public transportation through the use of electric street cars. Unfortunately, car manufacturers were able to weasel their way into the pockets of the city planners and put a stop to that.

We have a problem in Los Angeles. And that problem is that it's almost impossible to live close to where you work. Most white collar jobs here require an hour or longer of commuting time. Sure, it's possible to find jobs closer to your home, but when you are a professional in a specific field, your choices are restricted.

I live in North Hollywood, which is just West of Burbank in the San Fernando Valley. It's actually miles from Hollywood despite what the name may suggest.

I work in El Segundo. Before that, I worked in Culver city.

It would take me 4 or more hours and several metro -> bus -> metro transfers to get to work without driving.

The city is working on several new Metro lines and Bus only lanes, but it doesn't solve the problem of everyone being so spread out.
Not sure where they're getting their data, but from anecdotal evidence, it seems off - in the UK I have something like 20 GB (not sure because never been anywhere near the limit) for £12 or so¹, so it's £0.6 per GB - a whole order of magnitude cheaper than quoted in the article.

[1] Technically less, because the £12 includes calls and SMS as well.
