I don’t think it’s just a matter of translation preference. I think it’s also to be respectful to the people whose names are being mentioned.

When Chinese or Japanese concert Roman names to Hanzi/Kana, they try to observe the FIRSTNAME LASTNAME convention if preferred by that culture. Such as スティーブン・ポール・“スティーブ”・ジョブズ (Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs)
And no ports, so you have to bring the freaking dongles wherever you go.
It's a fun idea, but i don't think its practical.

There are other Georgist ideas that are more interesting, like preference voting.

The idea is that tax expenditures affect people disproportionately, so for the spending to pass you hold a vote where yayers accept paying the nayers (or the economic equivalent, pay an extra tax and nayers pay less tax for the policy) so the law passes.

For example, if SF wanted to improve golden gate park its a great benefit for people that live near the park, and great disservice to those away. If yayers paid the nayers, then they wouldnt get the benefit of taxing people that don't use the park.

You could implement this on land taxes rather easily.
That’s what I was thinking in response to your first idea. Every US keyboard has a grave character and it’s not used for anything. Maybe `Smith John is better since it works forwards too as John `Smith. Without stepping on punctuation. Either is preferable to SMITH John which is better than nothing.

Either way let’s just agree to start using the ` from here out and the internet will catch on.
> but I don't remember the organization being as stressful as the article describes

Well the article describes a very shitty and problematic situation that sure doesn't look like the norm anyway (but is good to keep in mind just in case it could happen).

What burden of proof?
This is exactly I want. A function row with just touchid..
In my experience (15 years or so) most people who attended my church didn't rush home or spend any time outside of church worshiping/praising their god. Even when I was at church, outside of the sermon, no one was talking about god or religion. Hell.. in my experience, with my religion, most people have never even read the book that the religion was based off of and knew very little about it when quizzed and yes I did quiz them from time to time.

So, aside from a few outliers, I have always been under the impression that most people attending church get far more enjoyment from the social aspects than the religious ones.
> This is fantastic. Living in both the English and Japanese-speaking worlds [...] I think consistency is preferable

If I'm not mistaken, his suggestion would make the Japanese convention less consistent with the English convention (while making it more consistent with the Chinese convention).

Apple designers need a new mantra, the age-old adage: "Form follows function." As it is, they're choosing a form ahead of time and compromising on function.

The vast majority of users choose Macs because of the great OS and the hardware specs. The "thinness" or "sleekness" is only a nice-to-have, and only if it doesn't require compromise elsewhere.

__Edit: I installed the lastest Firefox v67, the problem is gone. It works great.__

Thanks. no it's not in a private browsing window.

I also asked other people to visit the site(mydomainname.com) from their computers and phones, all worked fine.

The hour long struggle left me with painful memories. :) I never had issue like this previously in Firefox or other browsers. On that day, Chrome and IE worked without problem on my computer (Win 7 32bit), so the computer should not be the culprit.

That leaves Firefox v66 standing. I don't know why.
My 2018 Macbook Pro's screen failed. They replaced it for free, but damaged the webcam in the process.

It's definitely a problem, and it's not good that male role models are often lacking in earlier childhood education (especially when male role models may be lacking at home at well), but one key difference is that these aren't generally well-compensated positions.

Easily. All the people that work on tax money that give value to that tax are not working for free. If you can pay them with sympathy it could work, but it won't.
>I could picture planes in the air 24-7 circling around vulnerable points

The US previously spent a few billion and 16 years on that exact idea as part of the SDI, before canceling it a few years after the first working tests because, to quote the Defense Secretary,

>I don't know anybody at the Department of Defense who thinks that this program should, or would, ever be operationally deployed. The reality is that you would need a laser something like 20 to 30 times more powerful...there's nobody in uniform that I know who believes that this is a workable concept[0]

If the laser power was a problem, maybe Raytheon's tech will make the concept more plausible. The wikipedia article says there's been some additional experimentation mounting lasers on UAVs since the program was cancelled.

One of the hardest challenges of paying off technical debt is that there's no visible improvement to the stakeholder. From a business perspective, they often think it's working now, why not leave it alone?

Also, the metaphor starts to fall apart if you consider good debt vs bad debt in terms of financial investments. No examples of good technical debt come to mind, other than the benefit of shipping quickly.

This outlet, like others, will follow their own official style guide until that style guide is updated. And, it appears Japan Times' style guide uses the ordering Kono would like them, and others, to change.

I doubt this individual example frustrates Kono any more than the general rule. He'll understand outlets don't vary such things case-by-case, according to individual news-subjects' preference, which is why he's making a formal request that norms change.

The headline would be clearer, both here and where it originally appeared, if it specified "international media", and used "respect order" rather than "switch order" – to avoid the interpretation that he was asking domestic media to switch to the English-speaking-world's more typical ordering.

This is pretty pointless considering the previous hex core i9 offering ran into a thermal wall regularly.

Without meaningfully overhauling the cooling system there is no reason to think that an 8 core on the same process is going to fare well.
Interesting that the comment got down-voted when it's practically a copy of the definition from wikipedia.

There is zero benefit to more powerful CPUs in MacBooks when the thermal profile of the CPU heatsink design leads to throttling very rapidly.
I think there is something wrong with your math there.
This is the real announcement, to be honest. 8 cores is a convenient smokescreen, and they clearly don't want to talk about how borked their product is at WWDC so they are dropping the keyboard update with this news like it's a detail when it's actually the real story.

These shitty keyboards cast a shadow over the whole product line. If they didn't fix it the third time around, it's time to abandon the damn mechanism and accept that thicc computers can be beautiful, too.

I think it will be a step-by-step progress where we create specialized tools first. For example robot that helps with precise suturing. So the surgeon will input all the parameters, and the robot does the suturing. Then we can go to more complex things.

There won't be one robot that can replace a surgeon anytime soon. Surgeons and specialized robots/tools will work side-by-side for some time before that happens.
Yep I understand your POV, I don't always agree depending on the data being provided. I think in some cases a good case can be made you don't get that decision if it helps improve health outcomes or improves driving safty or so on.

I vaguely remember years ago google.com omitting tags to strip file size and there being some mild controversy around it. Pretty sure it was before HTML 5 adaption and don't think back then the tags where optional, just that browsers try to interpret whatever mess is thrown at them.

I just had the keyboard (really the entire top assembly) replaced on my 13" 2016 mbp, and I'm pretty sure it got the 4th gen keyboard. The keys feel and sound significantly different, and the Apple employee who did the replacement (or I think that's who I talked to) said that they were putting redesigned keyboards in for the replacements. I was pretty unhappy that I had to get this done and I'm still not in love with the machine, but I will say that with less than 24-hour turnaround and the new key feel, the replacement process left me with a good impression.
Louis Rossman does a great job documenting Apple's stupid (greedy?) design decisions.
Sometimes, we use toes, too.
I think it's time to make peace with changes like this, proportionate to their importance to overall impact on functionality. One free slot (with a maximum amount of RAM determined by Intel, not soldering) is probably good enough. Same with removable batteries (the need for which is obviated by USB charging). Indicator LEDs, probably not worth it. Screen aspect ratio, and so on, are probably worth complaining about though.
Is there a marketing person here who can help Apple come up with some good copy for the thicker laptops they need to make?

They need to quit being so thin it seems.
FWIW, this update includes an updated keyboard. Whether or not that's a fix remains to be seen.
I'd love to see names always included once in their native script.

An imbalance existing does not imply that it is fair to right it. Taking a very rough approximation of the efficient market hypothesis, most career choices are approximately equally bad. You can only really choose what tradeoffs you want to make. Want to be a highly paid doctor? Prepare to spend at least 7 years doing long hours of difficult training. Don't want to do the training? Your choices are either low pay or physically taxing and/or dangerous work. Want to try to be a corporate executive? Most people who try spend many long, hard hours vying for corporate promotions and fail.

Software development is no exception here. Yes, it is a safe desk job. Yes, it pays well. It also has a pretty brutal and risky filtering process on hiring, significant cyclicality, high amounts of skill and learning requirements, and the role very often demands high performance. Oh, and you spend your time on work that tends to be less intrinsically rewarding and meaningful than something like nursing. These are pretty natural tradeoffs that make a lot of people decide that the field isn't for them, and the same sort of self-selection processes wind up with things like "roughly 90% of workplace deaths are male" too. I don't think it's fair to put your hand on the scales here for only one gender.

NB: I actually kind of regret getting into programming - I suspect I'd have been much happier if I went with my second choice and became an electrician.
I was also of this mind but I'm really pleased with the workaround of mapping Caps Lock to Escape (more ergonomic when using Escape) and mapping Left Shift + Right Shift to Caps Lock when pressed simultaneously. I use Karabiner-Elements (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/document.html) to implement these remaps in addition to some others such as Shift + Delete/Backspace for forward delete.
I don’t doubt they are faster than other laptop SSDs, but those results look quite suspicious.
I'm not sure what the earth being solid or hollow has to do with this. If you're on the surface of a ball, you can only project a laser / straight line over the hemisphere above you; not through the ground.

As an example, if you're at the North Pole and the South Pole base fires a ballistic missile at you, you can't aim a laser at it, as it would diametrically intersect the Earth.

Instead, you have to wait until the missile passes your horizon. The point at which it does this depends on its altitude. Hypersonic vehicles attempt to make interception harder by reentering the atmosphere from space earlier than a traditional ICBM, and travelling at a lower altitude in their final phase.
Probably, but not universally.

Generally, information recorded (or maintained by, and often if contracted through a third party) by a government agency is made public if that state's public records law does not consider it to be private. "Private" is usually defined on a state-by-state basis. Every state has a public records law.

Some states consider license plates to be private, while others don't. Foe example, Illinois considers license plates private only if it's associated with other personally associatable information.

Aggregate or redacted information on accidents might be accessible in the case of privacy exemptions. Unless it's all on paper, which dramatically complicates things because of the efforts required to review/redact where needed.

In other words - if an agency has access to records on traffic incidents, it's probably accessible.
It vibrates the trackpad. Works surprisingly well.
Using Safari with an adblocking extension that makes use of WebKit’s native content blocking capabilities makes an enormous difference when it comes to heat and power draw. I’ve tried Chrome and Firefox with uBlock Origin and both are considerably more demanding in CPU use while not being that much faster. Where Chrome and Firefox has my fans ramped up to 60%, Safari has them running at 10% or switched off.

Really wish both Google and Mozilla would press pause on feature development for a couple of years and make efficiency the top priority.
Are people flaunting, or are they participating in a discussion about affordability of housing while you interpret them as flaunting? I only ask this because I've rarely seen people here outright flaunt/brag in the original sense of those words.

There's a difference between:

"Doesn't matter to me, I can afford it lol, sucks for people who can't."

and

"I pay X for housing and get paid Y in salary and that's why living here makes sense for me."
A colleague linked me to a similar course - I'll definitely be checking this out though - thanks
I can only come to the same conclusion. Typing this on a 2018 MacBook 15 inch, and it's a disaster. I still keep accidentally hitting the Touchbar ten times per day while typing (it's not a press-bar, duh), I need a dongle for _everything and their mother_, battery lifetime isn't good, the keyboard is prone to mistyping and double clicks, the screen doesn't get bright enough sometimes, I can't get any higher spec hardware, it really feels like a super expensive toy to me.

I'd buy something different if there was a real alternative OS-wise (I feel too old to compile my own kernel for a glitchy wifi driver, and Windows? Nah, get away...)
I don't see why a position being "well-compensated" is relevant, particularly when society is worse off for the imbalance.
>One person cannot speak for an entire gamut of people.

You're right, in fact the article seems to be mainly about the Japanese Foreign Minister telling other Japanese people to order their names the Japanese way in English. Notice how The Japan Times, a Japanese company, neverless continues writing his name in the English order in the article.

>There may also be great personal meaning or even simple wordplay in their name

There's a lot of personal meaning in my name. However, regardless of the ordering，the meaning and pronounciation of my name is lost the moment I write in the Latin alphabet.

In an Ideal world we would all just leave names in their original script (Which is the convention in Asian academia for non-Asian names), but we don't live in such a world; We live in a world where English speakers in the Midwest struggle to pronounce the foreign names of their own hometowns (See Pekin IL).
My boycott of the Macbook "Pro" will continue until they add additional I/O ports (including HDMI and standard USB ports) and until they add a num pad (a big reason I've stuck with Windows over the years).
I think you're calling cosmetic procedures a "capitalistic sector" of the medical industry because insurance companies won't cover these elective procedures, so folks have to pay for them out of pocket, so the providers have to price the service at a level that people are willing to pay for. That all seems like a good example of companies that are competing on price, classic capitalism, fair enough.

But if we pick any other particular area of medicine where prices are out of whack -- say drug companies that raise prices by exorbitant amounts, or hospitals charging hundreds of dollars for an aspirin -- isn't that still classic, unchecked capitalism in action? Aren't these just ordinary companies, working to optimize their profits by cornering a market on certain products or services and charging the maximal value they can extract from their customers?

I've never seen it used in mainstream news or literature, only in software and scientific papers, and not always then. I just searched for '.jp' in the Linux kernel changelog and none of the Japanese contributors I found wrote their names like that.
But you did identify the woman on Twitter. I won't link to it because I don't think we should share it further, but someone posted it in this discussion.

Yeah, but what makes it stand out to me is how he really firmly pushed Boeing for a while after that, flew simulators himself, and got them to admit wrongdoing, which is very impressive to me. Furthermore, getting further into the media when there are deaths on the line at your own airline is a tricky thing to do.

Although very sad for this person, his warnings aren't correct. SIM porting is one avenue of attack, but TOTP can also be phished through a http reverse proxy. Push based 2fa is better, U2F based hardware keys are the gold standard today.
$3600 isn't all that much. Bought a G3 PowerBook for that much with 256GB of RAM and 80GB HD.
I'd argue that we have the opposite problem today - there are too many simple facts unacknowledged, too many truths unspoken, too much information, so much that our reaction is to shut down and look for simplicity and easy answers where there are none. To quote Nietzsche (albeit from a different context):

You trip over truths. You even crush some to death, there are too many of them.
>That’s a problem when you’re trying to hit a missile on the other side of the world.

It's certainly an issue when that "other" side is the outside.
If we tolerate fake news (as in: incorrect facts), chances are people will disagree on facts more often.
Nearly all professional Windows development has been and still is done in Visual Studio.

hardware specs? They usually very outdated. They didn't update the air processor for like 4 generations.
Agreed. I was assuming ARM.

However I don’t see Intel switching to AMD. They have all the same problems, more or less. Primarily Apple has little control over their future with an outside supplier.
I tried it out, but it was much more structured than I'd like. I don't really want to have pre-defined a bunch of containers for each site that I want compartmentalized. I really like the ephemeral nature of private browsing where a single click gives me a fresh new container that I can use for whatever I want. Plus, when giving recommendations to family members, private browsing is more user-facing feature, and easier for them to use.
... Because that's true, depending on the situation.

In case you haven't realized you can buy comparable 1TB NVMe SSDs in today's market for around $100. I see the budget Intel 660p hit $80 for 1TB on sale, or high-end Phison E12 drives at $115 for 1TB on sale.
