I find this article quite removed from reality.

First: despite all the issues and bad press that Facebook is facing, it's still network number one and quite relevant (look at advertising money).

Second: Instagram can be extremely political, and it is for many users (including myself).

All and all, I don't think that Openbook stands a shred of a chance.
For me, it's the built-in (or free-to-download) apps. Notes, Preview (god that is such a good piece of software), and their Office-alike programs are all great and work seamlessly across desktop and mobile. Well, not Preview—I truly might be using an iPad Pro as my main machine, with a remote Linux desktop for some things, if the iPad had Preview. Safari's the only browser that gives half a damn about battery life. Finder may kind of suck but it doesn't crash or do weird crap very often. Terminal is sufficient and snappy.

Linux's equivalents all have a fair bit more jank, to put it mildly. Even for terminals, you've gotta do some research and tuning or compromise on features to get something that's as light & responsive as Terminal.app.
I don't know if it counts as speculation when a number of outlets are reporting on 'roadmap cutbacks,' including asking employees in the Pixel group to look for other roles. [1]

Is it 100% confirmed? No, but that's part of the brand trust referenced in the original post: where there's smoke, there is probably fire, and it would be beneficial to brand trust if Google provided a longer-term roadmap for these products.

Before someone comments "Why doesn't Apple need that type of roadmap?": because Apple has the hardware brand trust that, say, the iPhone isn't going to go away next year simply because the engineers working on it wanted to create an iMessage competitor.

Those houses have insulation in the walls and when the wind blows it doesn't blow through the building. Oh and they have internal heating.
I've noticed that when I have mine on my lap (I tend to sit cross-legged) it seems to put pressure on the USB-C cable/port. I never had any problems using a MacBook on my lap with the MagSafe power adapter because it would just fall off if the laptop leaned on it with too much pressure.

I think the USB-C port would be better in the back of the laptop instead of on the side where it gets in the way & becomes loose if you use it anywhere other than a flat surface.

Tools for Human-Centric Machine Learning at Netflix
Can "backtick" key be configured to act as "esc" by default, with acting as backtick with "fn"? Most "60%" keyboards don't have separate keys for esc and backtick/tilde either, and "F" keys are not too important (except for some games).
Most people call USB-A "USB." So if someone says "there's no USB port here," they mean "there's no USB-A port here."

That's what I do to deal with my ADD. Adderall has some obnoxious side effects. And also: that's why I wear a CPAP every night, and believe me wearing a mask every single night is annoying as hell.

So on one hand, I get you—it'd be nice to not have to do these things just to get back to baseline. But on the other, I'm glad I have the option to do so, and I do them knowing the side effects, because it's worth it.
Not sure if it's still the case, but it used to be that Firefox on Linux could only stream 720p videos.
Glad you liked it :)

Open-Source tooling support (Yosys/NextPNR flow, Yosys formal verification flow, Verilator, IVerilog).

VHDL only has GHDL. And there's a bunch of small projects to translate synthesizable VHDL into Verilog (to then feed into the aforementioned tooling), but none of them are good.
This is true generally. But the difference in money has to be appreciable. You wouldn't leave a job you loved for $5 extra per year. You might for $50k.

The people that want it both ways are stuck, generally. You can't like the job you are at and also demand more money if you aren't willing to leave. BATNA and so forth.
>What I am saying is that refusing to use a wifi connection on your laptop because there aren’t free drivers helps basically nobody, and only harms yourself.

This is wrong. Doing this forces you to confront the deficiencies of free software, the lack of available free software, and strongly encourages you to support development of alternatives. Just like being vegan encourages the growth of a market for vegan products.

It tries to make the claim that Japanese house building is for some reason superior when in reality its just shoddy construction turning an appreciating asset into a depreciating one. If the house value stays flat then that's unusual, they usually lose value over time.

What? It's completely possible to be smart and still be able to relate and connect to other people. Your intelligence isn't what's isolating you, it's your mindset. I used to think this way when I was younger and it's incredibly unhealthy.
That's a good point. But a 2.5X increase in house sizes doesn't account for the 100X rise in house prices.

If a house cost $2000 in 1950, it probably costs $200K now. It can't all be due to increase in house size.

The biggest culprits probably are tax incentives for homeownership, increased population, zoning laws limiting housing development and international investment tied to citizenship attainment.
I have not had this particular problem but I also got a much less expensive T480. YMMV.

I would tend to disagree, in a way. On a USB-C port there is USB, there might be display port and there might be thunderbolt. But only if I have the correct cable (sure, then it is a TB3 cable, not a USB-C cable). But explain that to the average Joe?
Everything I connect to a USB-A port kind of works, if I add the driver.

Not everything I connect to a USB-C port works.

The world doesn't rotate around netflix and co. You do not need to consume them if you don't want to. There is also no right from yourside to how you wish you like to consume it.

I would prefer to have NO DRM of course don't get me wrong. But still in this case, it is not your decision and apparently most people really don't care for that at all. They wanna see netflix in there browser. Thats why google and co did it. Thats why no one cares that there might be a electorn based browser somewhere which is unable to implement its core feature of sync viewing.

And while i like the idea, just because is just not good enough. Noone will cancel there netflix subscription over this.

Certification isn't going to work for the very reasons Klabnik revealed in this same post.

> Even if you are the kind of person who thinks boycotts work, there just aren’t enough free software diehards to form a large enough boycott. And even then, you’d want to do the boycott together, simultaneously, to send the message.

A licensing regime is the only way I know to _prevent_ someone else from taking your software and doing whatever they want with it. So without a licensing regime, they'd do that, it just wouldn't be certified.

The whole idea of certification relies on enough people insisting on using certified software. And I think the same reasons that didn't work, as Klabnik explained, for Libre vs OSI, it's not going to work for certification. In the end, people will use whatever is cheapest/easiest (and legal, or perceived-to-be-low-risk-for-them illegal) regardless.

I do see the issue's he's talking about and think they are real. I don't see any solutions. (I also think he conveniently avoided one of the reasons we're seeing license/open source splintering -- because of attempts to find ways to _make a profit_ off open source. See the Amazon/ElasticSearch dispute. This is a real thing going on in the landscape he's talking about, with maybe more impact than the ideological concerns he talks about, but is inconvenient for what he wants to talk about. I still have no solutions to it.)

Good one, but the part where we as a society collectively define what 'violet' and 'purple' means is lacking. It's all been covered in a wonderful book called Through the Language Glass, by Guy Deutsch.

That is such a wise and important point. I am no fan of Apple, but the one thing they have going for them is that they have never forgotten how to please their core fan base.

I was such big Google fan that they actually featured me on their blog over a decade ago. They have destroyed everything that I ever liked about them, piece-by-piece and replaced it with advertising, the scourge of humanity.
Yes, correct. Ironsource is an advertisement/UA company that doesn't offer any "toolbar". What you're angry at (and rightly so) is the fact that their network was used to offer malware/adware. As per the first article you linked:

> IronSource is likely to blame third party "partners" for most or all of the defects we have listed, but our analysis indicates that IronSource is importantly responsible.

Also from the second link:

> That’s not to say that IronSource is necessarily aware that a publisher (pay-per-install) is redirecting visitors to sites that impersonate Google Chrome.

This is a clear failure on Ironsource's part to secure their network, but it isn't evidence of any malitious intent on their part.

> This is just a spam piece from the spam company ironsource.

It's their job to deliver ads. And ad mediation. And UA.

> They try to put their spam-bundleware-crapware-search-bar into everything.

They don't have a "spam-bundleware-crapware-search-bar". You're frustrated at specific advertisements on an advertisement network/the security of the network as a whole.

> And this is just another article trying to convince app developers to make yet another spam app with spam bundle-ware

s/yet another spam app with spam bundle-ware/a mobile application utilizing advertisements/

I'm not saying anything about the quality of Ironsource as a network, but lets not make them out to be the boogeyman. They are, at worst, inept.

I am serious, my dude.
It's worth noting that home prices are often distorted from supply/demand due to speculation.

Still, there can be no doubt that Japan's approach to urban design (tightly packed walkable neighborhoods connected to urban centers by a web of transit) scales much better than the approach taken in the states. In the states people scream "we are full" as they sit in endless traffic in cities with an MSA population of maybe 5 million. Meanwhile the Tokyo metropolis, depending on how you measure its limits, can be considered between 10 to 30 million strong.
I feel like the op is missing technique and blaming Google with inflammatory title and preying on people's hated of DRM. If this was a more mundane technical problem it wouldn't be at the top of HN and it would be obvious that they just don't have the chops.
I still hope they'll put the pro back into Macbook Pro - larger form factor, bigger battery, bigger screen, more key travel for heavy typing, etc.
Amazon Redshift Service Level Agreement
Except for the ugly fonts, the lack of good touchpad support, the wonkiness on connecting external displays, the lack of good color calibration, iffy power management, and lack of rootless/SIP, you’re spot on.
Thank you for writing this. I really hope common sense prevails soon. I have no idea how we got to the point where the "test" for a job has nothing to do with the job. I think senior engineers and tech leads need to actively work to kill this culture. I personally will never interview someone for my team by using some random questions from the internet that have nothing to do with what the candidate will work on. Again, great post
Ask HN: Why does nobody talk about the MBP's SCREEN PROBLEMS?
I have a MacBook Pro 13", 2017, about 9 months old. I don't have keyboard problems. I don't mourn the loss of MagSafe as much as most. I have function keys model, so I don't hate the Touch Bar.

What I can't stand, what really bugs me, is the weakness of the Screen Material. I will shut my laptop, and every week or so I notice another small, tiny dent in the screen. Probably from a spec of dust or something. And it just stays there, obvious (to my eyes), no way to fix it, a permanently wrong pixel or two. Now I have like 10 or more of these little things in my screen and I just can't believe a laptop, this expensive, has these little things appearing all over the screen from invisible dust!

Worse, In the middle of my screen is are 2 visible line right across it, if held at the right angle. Turns out, it is from some pressure on the cover (it's in a backpack - college) which causes the screen to press against the metal between the keyboard and the touchpad, which in turn creates the subtle but visible lines.

In my experience, I don't hate the keyboard. If there is one thing I would fix, it would be the screen. It's just TOO EASILY DAMAGED!
Try Ctrl+[

With caps lock remapped to Ctrl its easy to reach from the home keys and requires no Vim configuration.
True, but not a regression as my 2013 is also not serviceable.
Had a 2015 MBP. Loved it. But had to part ways with it half a year ago.

I bought a 2018 15' MBP last week. I wanted the 2018 model for the 6 core CPU, so did not have a choice regarding the TouchBar.

Here are some of the issues I've experienced since the purchase:

1. I keep on hitting escape multiple times because I don't know if I've touched it or not. More often than not, I will press it one time too many or not trigger it at all. I don't look down at the keyboard when I type.

2. I switched the TouchBar to show function keys (f1, f2, etc) by default. I plugged in an external monitor and was prompted if I want to extend the screen or mirror it. After selecting one of the options, there is NO WAY to change your external display settings using any keyboard shortcuts.

3. Every time I want to change volume or brightness, I have to look down at the TouchBar. It gets annoying, it is unnecessary, and again I have to look at the damn TouchBar to be sure how much I've lowered/increased the volume/brightness.

4. I use vim. It is a nuance.

I bought this to do development work, mainly because I highly value the trackpad and OSX user experience. But to be honest, I am contemplating returning it within the 14 day window because how fucking annoying the TouchBar is. Knowing that without this gimmick, the device would have more battery, more space to accommodate a proper keyboard mechanism, just makes me wonder how much out of touch with the users must the designer or product manager at Apple be? Not to mention that without it, MBP would probably cost around $150-$200 less.

The TouchBar is utter garbage. Why slap it on a $2,000+ "pro" machine? It makes the MBP line up an expensive gimmick toy for rich kids. Total cashgrab and disdain towards their customer segment who rely on these machines for actual work.

I won't go into details about the butterfly keyboard and magsafe. While those decisions are unpopular, they aren't as debilitating as the TouchBar.

I remember Steve Jobs talking about the downfall of Xerox being caused by marketing people taking over control of sales and product development. Now Apple is following the same footsteps. They're abandoning good and sound designs which got them to where they are now.

Sorry, but I had to rant. The TouchBar is utter garbage.
Every time I find a new Evernote competitor, I try it out. I keep thinking that it must be easy to top Evernote, which I have various complaints about.

What is a "company like Alphabet"? Can any company of the size and scale of Alphabet, or aiming to be such one day, avoid these pressures? Why isn't this the Google we grew up with, given that this is what Google was growing up to be all along?

A serious question is whether a young company in roughly the state Google was in the early '00s can reasonably commit to never becoming a multibillion-dollar conglomerate.
I never switched from Firefox in 10+ years and somehow, this still affects me. Blaming users isn't the solution. This is an issue of enforcing standards (in whichever way), you can't expect the entirety of internet users to suddenly become experts on DRM.
Ok I'll take 100x for now. We can renegotiate later.

This depends on the agreement that the media distributor has with the media owner; there's no technical reason behind the 720p limitation.

Widevine is offered with different levels, depending on the length of the secure path. On mainline Linux, there is no secure path to the screen AFAIK, so you can always read the unencrypted video from a recompiled graphics driver, and as such it only is supported in Widevine's lowest level.
Words cannot describe the level of anger I would have experienced if I had "upgraded" to a new MacBook Pro that had the USB audio glitching.

I'm broadening my horizons beyond Logic Pro for recording music, in case my 2013-vintage laptop fails before Apple fixes that problem. If Apple's hardware can't support typical audio peripherals, they should just stop shipping Logic Pro and Garageband as well.
DRM are like locks on a gated community, just creates economic moats to enable rent seeking and prolong the status quo.
