Automation will bring the robots back to USA, actually.

Since robots cost the same to operate in US and they do in China, factories will shift location closer to the markets they supply.

EDIT: my point was not clear enough. I'm saying in the long-term automation will reduce the cost of labor close to zero, leaving only the cost of inputs and distribution (supply chain). Not to mention the IP risks of locating tech in China, advanced automation will make it more cost effective to shift production to be located next to the markets where those products are sold to consumers. China is well aware of this, which is why the current government policy is focused on boosting the local innovation and technology economy.
How is it measured?
That is not "first hand" knowledge. You are referring to experience again.
Very true, they did a good job. Time to go the way of ol' yeller now? I can only imagine the kind of derivatives GS is looking to write on this in the future…

From https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-apple-s...:

> The Cupertino, Calif., tech giant will split revenues with publishers, with Apple taking half the subscription fee and the remainder going to publishers based on their share of total readership on the new product, according to sources familiar with the deal.

>Apple’s 50% cut is higher than the 30% the company typically takes out of app purchases and subscription fees through its App Store.

Yikes, that sounds very high. I assume Apple is betting that news providers will see reduced friction to buy their content so that this will be a long-run profitable thing for everyone involved.

That's what I mean. If you are in a work environment, you may want to isolate yourself from a discussion happening behind you, but that's not a heavy metal concert environment either, if you use the headphones sold along the iphone, everyone around you will hear your music.

But even in a very noisy environment, think the tube in London, where the noise level when going through a tunnel can be similar to a factory floor, surprisingly, people will hear your noisy iphone and will be annoyed by it. Now if it is in London they will be too polite to let you know. But I think not making annoying noise is also a form of politeness I like to adhere to in any case.
And the post at the head of this thread contemplates the utility of Visa/MC in general. Not really a concern leveled at Apple's thing in specific, and I wouldn't want my concern about consumer protections to be construed as such.
Anecdotally, this has never happened to me. I briefly mention I'm paying with Apple Pay almost always and if it's not available/doesn't work, they will let you know.
Right, which is one of the main critiques against deep learning, there is no separation of concerns or encapsulation, just a single function matching input to output. But at the end of most days, performance is what matters. Similarly, the brain hardly has a "clean" structure, it's seemingly spaghetti code even though there is some structure to it.
They isn't any neutrality, at least in the US. We've watched Visa/Mastercard/Paypal and others take down people they politically disagree with. Look at Paypal + Patreon for another example.

What's currently in the pipes to help fix this? Sure you can always support someone by mailing them a money order or cryptocurrency, but that is a huge hindrance to most people. It can cripple groups that are political unpopular. 20 years ago, that might have been gay rights groups.

Whenever Mozilla makes a (usually user-hostile) decision they always claim to have heaps of data to back the decision.

If you raise an objection, they politely explain to you that their decisions makes a ton of sense, and that you are stupid for questioning them. If you had seen the data, you'd agree.

(Of course, they never publish any of that data, but that is entirely irrelevant for this conversation)

That's openness and transparency for you.

And the mindshare just keeps dropping and dropping...
Yes, I am really surprised you were able to make that guess.
It doesn't have to be a static site, it just needs to be served by a piece of software that isn't a horrible mess. I am puzzled by these sites that break down under load: with today's CPUs it is rather difficult to have problems serving content, unless you're doing something exceedingly silly.
It’s a common misunderstanding of the Big Bang. There is not a point where the universe originated.

Rather everything was just closer together. Imagine traveling back in time - you would see galaxies move closer and closer - until everything was super dense and hot - like the center of the sun but everywhere.
Because it's counted by the value of the finished products even if most of the actual manufacturing is done abroad.
The retailer also has to press a button to enable the NFC payment type half the time too, it's not available at all stages of the transaction like in other countries.
Organic produce uses tons of pesticides some of which are really nasty (but hey it's "natural" copper sulfate), so that's not a solution to anything.

Let's just hope this "gaming as a service" stays on mobile devices where it belongs.

Personally I think it's a decent move by Apple to change the perception of the App Store in regards to gaming. I waited in line for the original iPhone and watched the App Store go from quality $2-10 games to the dumpster fire it is today. The F2P games are all clones of each other and no one will spend a dime on anything else. A premium service that collects the quality games, respects user privacy, doesn't run ads, or have IAP is a nice idea to be honest.

I'm a handheld gamer through and through and always have one or two handheld consoles on me, so this is isn't a service that interests me. But I hope it can make those paid games more accessible.

Also concerned that the (rumored?) $9.99/month price tag is even remotely close enough to get these developers paid. Nothing easier about releasing on a mobile device - the games they showed off look like massive titles.
Python 2.x urllib local_file: scheme allows one to bypass protection mechanisms
I don't think apple cares. They want game developers who only focus on the ios ecosystem. You may not have noticed but they said all these games are exclusives. They're betting on the ease of the ecosystem being the draw.

They're taking gaming seriously, but not for serious games. This is all designed for "casual" games that ios has dominated.
And tvOS, and macOS, according to the slides during the presentation...
And just to clarify, this isn't just Apple Pay. Target has rolled out general NFC payments, so Google Pay works too (finally).

Press releases have a more blatant conflict of interest, given that they literally are advertising and don't even have pretensions to journalistic integrity.

My understanding was that Goldman Sachs will have that information and they will be responsible for fraud prevention etc. -- they just won't share it with Apple.

I’ve been told political campaigns focused on MC/Visa forced a policy change on Fetlife (specifically which kinks you’re allowed to admit to being into) a few years back.

I’m not into the kink which caused it (and I won’t repeat it here) but that left a bad taste in my mouth. IMO, people should be free to discuss what they’re into, even when it’s something much more harmful than the kink involved.

If I want to make a screenshot I press either alt-print or shift-alt-4, which I've configured to run "xfce4-screenshooter -r"

I select the area of the screen I want, and it pops up a window which allows me to save, copy, upload to a couple of sites, or open in a program.

What could be simpler.

Apple has a more limited version of this with shift-apple-4 I think.

The only thing I can think of that would need it in my browser rather than my OS is to capture non-visible parts of a webpage, but that isn't the functionality that's pushed.
I'm not sure about that since smartphones are a major driver for unsustainable borrowing (edit, was: loaning).
I worry a bit about the App Store screenshot with the arcade tab. Apple Music is a permanent part of the Music app UI even when you aren't a subscriber. It is a bit of an annoyance. Now it appears Arcade will be there to bug me for a subscription in the App Store. I'm realizing now the News and TV apps will do the same thing.

These are small annoyances, but it seems like a turn in the wrong direction overall. For years the Apple ecosystem gave me the feeling that I was paying a premium, but I got great hardware, great UX, and increasing more software for free. iOS, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, etc all became free over time. Yes, it all locked me into their world, but it was a great world largely free of ads an annoyances. Now that they are adding paid services to so many products they are eroding that feeling.
To be fair, the guy behind all of their innovation died more than a decade ago.
I'm on GNOME, go to Gnome Software, search for Okular, click Install - boom it's installed. Since it's made available via flathub.org, Okular and the shared KDE platform libraries are installed as self-contained flatpaks. To ignorant me, looks and runs like any other application.

I love it, but it does tend to freak out at least a few people. They claim I'll crack my teeth or something, but that's probably just a cover for how it makes them feel.

Yes, it could be bad for my teeth, but that's likely not why they're telling me about it. It bothers them more than it concerns them, or they'd stop telling me about it after a few times.
i never said Apple knows what you buy. They just know a lot about you based on using their devices / services.
Self-harm in the sense that is causes you pain, but it is really just not doing what others want even though you know that they will hurt you. It is intellectually dishonest to to portray people not doing something that they don't REALLY want to do as an issue with their brains and leave out the brains causing the harm. Not self-harm, just not protecting the self.
American Express offers both credit cards and charge cards. The "black card" might be the most well known of all cards and its only real limit is AMEX's judgement of your ability to repay the charges.
It's not about that its there, its about how much there is.

Yes and no. In the intentional absence of published studies on the impact on mammals of most pesticides, we're left with little to go on except presence. Yes, I do mean to imply that there are studies on potential health impacts that are privately funded and conducted by manufacturers that we will never see, much as there were studies of smoking done by tobacco companies and studies of global warming done by oil companies.
That doesn't seem too weird to me. Wouldn't most merchants necessarily have your address in order to provide services to you (shipping would definitely require it, for instance).
When I worked in military contracting for a decade, I found the same work environs: at three different DoD employers I shared an office (with window) with only one other person.

Now that I work at a big pharmaceutical (where profit margins are famously big), we recently transitioned to an open space. It's ugly, tight, offers no storage space, has a low ceiling, little daylight, and you can't sit in the same space from day to day. The space is even broken up across three floors so you're guaranteed not to be able to find your friends.

Management seems hell bent on driving out talent. Pretty much all our best and brightest have left. Their replacements have all been 22 year-olds, who've never worked anywhere else and don't know that it doesn't have to be like this.
I wonder if organic food is any better. I recall reading they use much more "natural" pesticides on organic produce. Is growing your own stuff in a backyard I don't have really the only way to avoid pesticides?
So I guess that means that they won't be stopped until some other external force I didn't account for stops them.

>The only reason you can get away with this sort of thing is because Americans have never had to experience these sorts of policies or any of the other things that they do to other people. If they had they would change their minds.

This is why it is so important to fight - and constantly fight - for free speech rights, and the right to form and hold an opinion which is precisely allowed because its not 'mainstream groupthink'.

A society which cannot criticise its military is ruled by it.

All members of the criminal (really, our wars are criminal) Coalition of Western Forces - its citizens as well as its 'service members' - must take responsibility for the violations of human rights that are happening, daily, in our name - and under our flag.

It is a terrible thing that ""Americans"" have absolutely no interest in seeing the results of their wars. It should be required viewing of all teenagers, so they know what their nation is doing for them.

That they have tuned themselves out - nearly completely - from actually understanding the people and the states they are bombing, illegally. In which states they are murdering civilian children, daily. For which allies we turn a blind eye while they commit, literally, genocide. Today.

And so on.

The fact that we don't communicate about these things - or are indeed prevented from doing so, is a huge tragedy.

We could be living in a much more peaceful world, if but for our criminal leadership.

>That being said Iran's government needs to be pushed into the sea.

I mean, if you can't speak a word of Farsi and don't know a thing about the Iranian people, or their culture - I'm personally of the opinion that this kind of attitude is just war-mongering.
Preference for semi-open team spaces, but not as far as offices-for-all. If the choice was binary, I'd choose open.

My team has an open area, but it is semi-closed off from other teams. There were two desks which would have had their monitors in full view of others walking by, so we rearranged our area and put up semi-high walls to combat this. Much to the disdain of other management who feared "others will follow suit." Spoiler: They did.

37, US, Sr. Manager level in Quality Engineering. The majority of my meetings I'd rather not have in front of my team (ICs, Leads, Managers, etc). Partly because I have to talk a lot, partly because people ended up asking questions about things they overheard which weren't concrete yet. If something is changing, if I am working through collaboration, or there is a disagreement, I don't want to distract my team with that fluid information. I mention this as it puts me squarely in the position of a manager who spends a lot of time in a room but wants his team in a semi-open area. All of my bosses have offices and most of my peers have offices. I chose to bypass my office to be close to my team. That said, I am in an unreservable room for 3-5 hours a day.

As a side note for this transition, I used the department budget to buy everyone a pair of QC35s. I budget a pair for every new hire as well. It is a bandage over root cause _and_ created conflict across other groups, but I gladly took the heat. Soon that budget will come out of the New Hire Resources pool!
Thank you for finishing the quote. It's arguably the most important verse as it offers the solution.
If the shows are good, the service will succeed, and the shows sound interesting based on the previews Apple supplied today.

With that said, I can’t believe Apple didn’t announce any pricing information. We’ve been hearing about this service for years now, and the picture is still frustratingly incomplete.

Anatomy of a Measles Outbreak: How One Traveler Brought Virus to Detroit Area
When avoiding a conflict of interest matters, normally there isn't a standard of requiring evidence of any impropriety for behavior to be deemed inappropriate. Merely not avoiding the conflict of interest is enough. Granted, for something like civil lawsuit or criminal charges this alone isn't enough and evidence is required, but for matters such as violating professional ethics not disclosing a conflict of interest is enough.

Like I said, with movies reviews it does not matter (at least in my opinion). The issue I have is that I don't think such a carefree attitude can be taken when it comes to rating the truthfulness or applicability of news.

As for any examples of actions, I do not have access to the sort of data to determine if any such actions were taken, nor do I have the resources nor desire necessary to even begin investigating. Also, especially in relation to recent events that touch on a more political scale, I rather not deal with the issue of evidence being trusted based on the extent it confirms existing views (a cognitive bias common to humanity that isn't particularly worse in this case, but which I have seen result in flame wars on other forums).

I get your perspective, but disability is a continuum. As a founder, you're not really the disabled population I'm thinking of. I'm technically disabled myself, but entirely able to earn a good living.

There are some disabled people, though, who can't provide $10.35/hr in economic benefit. If the "full" minimum wage is applied to them, it's much more likely that they end up with nothing to do than they end up making those extra $7-8/hr.

Businesses are not charities and will we shouldn't expect them to behave as such. If our society wants to provide for a disadvantaged group, straightforward taxation and redistribution is a much more fair way to accomplish that goal than enacting a wage minimum.
Payment platforms, including Visa and Mastercard, have deplatformed merchants, are currently deplatforming merchants, and will continue to deplatform merchants, for all sorts of reasons, since day 1.

This sort of deplatforming happens for moral reasons (adult content), discriminatory reasons (Suppression of gay activist movements in the 90s), political reasons (Suppression of IRA/ISIS symathisers), legal reasons (Enforcing international embargoes - ie, Iran).

For some reason, though, techies get up in arms when tech firms start doing this.
