"It feels backwards to say it, but because the iPad doesn't have multiple floating windows, and no mouse, I'm able to focus on one thing at a time."

Uh, isn't that what tablet mode in win8/10 is for? It removes much of the distractions and with an appropriate WP/text editor just sort of behaves like a tablet, but with the option to flip back into desktop mode and run all those "desktop" apps the Op is complaining about.

As much as I despise some of the crap MS forced on people with W10, the convertible idea has a lot of merit. Particularly if your lugging a keyboard around with the tablet all the time anyway. What MS needs is for dell/hp/etc to start making little 7" tablets again, and then force some portion of their workforce to use them so they understand why it was a miserable experience. The result will be better for everyone.

But the us is the empire. So they still make the rules...
Doctors in America are certified members of a caste system. In traditional caste systems, your caste was determined by blood (for example it might work like: if your dad was a doctor, you could be a doctor) but in contemporary society we’ve replaced these with government licensed caste systems: if you’ve paid your dues and gone through the certification process imposed by the alphabet soup of government bureaucracy and special interest lobbyists, you’re allowed to be a doctor; anybody who hasn’t gone through this process will be arrested if they attempt to provide medical services.

Predictably, the violently enforced caste system allows all manner of incompetence and impunity to reign free — if the legistlatively enforced educational / certification standards are letting total incompetents slip through the cracks, tough luck. You can try to change them through the democratic process, but the current members of the caste have massive influence on these institutions and a vested interest in keeping it just the way it is: extremely expensive for us in exchange for minimal standards of quality for them.

This outcome is entirely predictable: independent thought is the basis of all knowledge, so when a group outlaws it in some branch of human endeavor, there’s no mystery as to why that branch of the endeavor becomes fraudulent. I’m admittedly being somewhat obtuse here, since thanks to the genius of the first amendment I’m still free to think whatever I want about the medical caste and complain about it on the internet. What’s restricted are the actions I can take — for example if I wanted to build “Lambda School for Doctors”, I couldn’t legally do so without following all of the educational/certification protocols imposed on us through legislation by the status quo medical caste (which defeats the whole purpose).

But because actions are downstream from ideas (thoughts) about how to act, restricting individual’s actions in this way is importantly similar to restricting freedom of thought, and has analogous consequences. Until we reform our laws to allow all adults offer and accept non-fraudulent (this qualifier demands deeper discussion about the proper legal standard of “fraudulent”) medical services, our hands are effectively tied in even beginning to address the issue.
Steve Jobs was quite right that a stylus is not great for a small portable device with a touch screen. It's clunky, you can easily misplace the stylus and you can't have multi-touch gestures. There are lots of specialized tasks that are better with a stylus but there are a lot of specialized tasks that are better with a combine harvester.
I just tried the same search ("hike yosemite") on my mobile with DuckDuckGo.

The results are very revealing. Firstly the DDG format has less space allocated to the logo, more entries visible on the screen, no ads nor dark patterns.

Secondly the results are far better (for me). They start with the same National Park Services result, but the next is a non-commercial labour of love (yosmemitehikes.com) which seems excellent, and the third the the Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau site. None of these are commercial sites with pop-ups/Hubspot requests and so on. It's just a better internet experience overall.

Google obviously puts us all into our own bubble, so your own results may differ.
Happy to!

Deep intentional diaphragmatic breathing is developed through a sub-practice of yoga known as pranayama. We know now through experiment that this practice can calm the mind, destress the practitioner, and oxygenate the blood.Pranayama is said to elongate and clarify the breath.

Symptoms of underdeveloped breath include a scattered mind, trembling of the extremities, and shallow or ragged breathing. See as a primer clavicle breathing [0] vs diaphragmatic breathing [1].

You may find that deep breathing requires a specific orientation of the body. Yoga postures are in part designed to facilitate deep breathing. You may observe that your body automatically adjusts when attempting deep breaths. These adjustments _tend_ to be the same movements that encourage good posture and correct imbalances.

With much practice it becomes clear that the body is deeply and mysteriously connected to itself and to the breath in non-obvious ways. So flexing your foot or rotating your ankle may have a direct effect on the breath. Releasing the soft palette or raising the eyebrows may align the lower back. It's along these lines of connectivity that prana flows. Yoga is the process of removing the internal blockages that allow this perception, and this internal chain-reaction-like connectivity.

Turns out that deep breathing more or less requires good posture. You can fix your posture via deep breathing, and you can fix your breathing through correct posture. If you have a handle on one, you have a handle on the other.

When the breath does not flow easily, you will learn to identify the error of posture causing the blockage, and will through asana practice have the awareness and strength to correct it yourself.

You misunderstand why he said that.

At the time, you effectively could not buy a touchscreen device without a stylus being required. Nintendo DS, Palm Pilot, Windows tablet, etc., it was a bundled experience.

Letting you use not just one, but multiple, fingers on a touchscreen without the need for a stylus was a sea change.
You need a Pixelbook. I switched to a Pixelbook recently and haven't looked back. It's great for note-taking, email (way better keyboard than an iPad keyboard, Mac (eww)), etc. Has a terminal that runs whatever I want (<signaling>I get to continue using emacs</signaling>) and use it in tablet mode for reading (I read on the kindle a lot). I'm going to try out the pen soon. I'd kill for the ability to write down notes in cursive or draw boxes. Cons are keyboard getting dirty in tablet mode and Slack randomly crashing.
I need to check that out. Had no idea the RAV4EV had autopilot. I love Toyota.
Pythonista has you covered for Python, although you are limited to its selection of third party modules and source only modules. It has great integration with iOS features and even has a simple but useful GUI designer built in.

It’s a solution to programming for the iPad though, not on it but for another platform, unless it’s mix of modules and capabilities happen to match your off-device needs.
I think it's cool. I'm not that old, but games these days mostly seem to be about squeezing every last dollar out of the consumer through shady means. I think this is part of why I don't play video games anymore. It's nice to see something different.
I agree that messaging apps (including gmail) are used to enrich the targeting cloud for a given user, but many use a secure-ish app by default (iMessage). Also, if you use an adblocker (like ublock origin), those should mostly muzzle pixel beacons.

The metadata you can pull from a series of images is remarkable. Did you know that most smartphones from the last 7 years will encode not just GPS coordinates, but the compass heading of the lens? Just from that stream, you know (most likely) where the person lives, works, and spends time. Throw in face detection and you know who else lives at your home, and who your coworkers are. It's a metadata treasure chest.
Andrej Karpathy has a pretty good introductory article to RNNs here: http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/

He has some code which is pretty easy to follow to go along with the article: https://gist.github.com/karpathy/d4dee566867f8291f086
F* or F#? They are very different.
I like the crank idea only if it also charges the battery as you play.
I think a valid definition of functional would be 'common in everyday life', and 'powerlifter trying to max his/her squat' does not qualify as a common everyday movement.

Parent might be referring to the assertion that the abs' main role is to prevent torso flexion (as opposed to cause it), which makes something like a Paloff press a more 'functional' movement.
>They probably settled because Intel wasn't able to supply modems for their next Phone

I'm very unconvinced that they settled because of 5G or Intel. Apple plotted the world-wide regulatory attacks, the FTC's lawsuit in the Northern District of California, and the pending class-action lawsuit at least two or three years ago. Further, most wireless carriers won't even launch 5G until much later this year, with national wide coverage starting in late 2020 (most likely later). And Apple couldn't wait a couple of weeks? That doesn't make any sense.

It's most likely Apple knew they had very low chance of winning outside Lucy Koh's court in the Norther District of California. It was no coincidence that the FTC went shopping around for forum in Apple's backyard. They didn't however foresee the gov't shutdown early this year that delayed Koh's decision and now Apple was walking into QCOM's den in the Southern District empty handed. So the choice was fairly clear: wait for Koh's decision which might not arrive on time, then settle, or fight QCOM. The latter option carries a lot of risk since, in addition to most likely adverse outcome, Apple's unsavory, embarrassing legal or supply-practices would be exposed (ie, potential lawsuits from investors).
Upon closer look, they got some nice game development partners too, like Keita Takahashi of Katamari fame. This partnership (with both Teenage Engineering and the likes of Keita Takahashi) seems like a perfect synergy in my eyes. While I am still not super excited about the product yet, I am very glad someone out there is going for stuff like that.
How is it similar to your complaint, other than both being about potential biases in the scientific literature? Theirs is about publication bias against null resources, yours is against people without the education background that qualifies them to run a particular study; I don't see how they're that similar.
It's funny, I was also going to comment on how this has a very Teenage Engineering vibe before I found out that they're affiliated :)
If you were in a minority group would you rather face the risk of police brutality or the risk of being sent off to a job center? China has more "minorities", and what could you possibly mean by out of sight, out of mind, since I doubt you are based in China, or else this might be a greater concern. You're literally not concerned about this because you're not part of the civilian population that is being subjected to this surveillance.
No problem. :)
And yeah, as you say you can use it as intentional hyperbole as well. "Wow, the first version of The Art of Computer Programming came out in 1968 - that's ancient!"
Maybe they belong in prison. Crazy alternatives we could try:

a. We let them out, and this is fine because they are good people. LOL.

b. We let criminals run amok, pillaging our villages as they please.

c. We shoot them, then make their family pay for the cost of the bullet.

d. We send them to a prison colony like Australia.

e. We import better people. Maybe we could raid Japan or Iceland to get nicer people.

What I do know is that they aren't in prison just for being rude on Twitter.
But it is strange that there is a lot of discussion about the slippery slope of what happens when this tech falls into the wrong hands.

Not strange at all. One can already see a lot of abuses of such technological power in the US through the exploitation of political affiliations or connections. We've already slipped down the slope, and we've already seen the fingerprints of those hands.

Meanwhile there is relatively little discussion about things that get us closer to the government actually being the "wrong hands".

The government has checks and balances. Though those are imperfect, they can be used as tools to check the overstepping of power. There are also laws against the government censoring speech. The popular refrain among technologists is that it only pertains to Free Speech if the government is doing it, and it's just private businesses doing their justified activities when tech giants do it.

What's wrong in principle is still wrong, even if laws and societal wisdom are lagging technology. Large swathes of the populace feel their voice is being stifled against their wishes, and many can't even spend their money to support who they wish to without overcoming barriers put in place by powerful corporate actors. That's not people losing/winning in a free marketplace of ideas. That's willful manipulation of the free marketplace of ideas.
The one thing I'd pay for is a scheduled dark/ample -mode like with night shift. Prefably dark sunset to sunrise and light during the day. But a timed schedule would do as a 90% solution. Currently I use different apps during day and night for this reason.
I have loved Panic’s focused software for many years, and have several Teenage Engineering single-purpose hardware devices too (especially love my OP-1).

So you think it "very unlikely" that someone more intelligent would make better decisions, and those decisions have better outcomes enabling someone to live in a pricier neighborhood?
>Apple wouldn't know how to make that happen.

Yeah, guess again.

>The ghost of Steve Jobs still insists on a single mouse button.

Actually Macs and OS X have supported multi button mice for 30+ years. And the Apple mice today have no button -- all the top surface is touch sensitive. Dual button (left or right side touch) + scrolling (vertical and horizontal) + tap gestures is supported.

>Apple seems to think that the single mouse button is a holy and sacred canon of minimalism to be extended to all other aspects of computing. One USB port type. One lightning port. One physical button.

Yeah, and it hurt them so much. The only turned into the most valuable company on earth -- beginning from near certain bankruptcy in 1997 when Jobs took the helms...
What a ridiculous statement. Multibutton mouse events are well-supported in macOS (even required), and even iOS has a proxy for right-clicking with 3D Touch.
It's not actually a "natural programming language", it's more of a snippet generator. The output is ordinary code and you still have to understand it.

I can see how this would be useful to quickly get the right incantation in certain verbose APIs, as opposed to copy-pasting code from API docs or Stackoverflow.
Gizmondo is such a crazy story, LazyGameReviews did a 30 minute video about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv6UaHZxUys
Design wise this looks similar to something teenage engineering would make. Which I think is cool, I like their stuff. Specifically the op1 with the hand crank functionality
Heh, there's no way we'd expose that kind of interface, it's just internal plumbing. BTW we prefer the term service location to highlight the fact custom personalized meals are cooked direct from fresh ingredients within the machines, not simply 'dispensed' or 'vended' as "vending machines" as a concept has too many negative associations / too much cultural baggage.
Uh, sure. Do leg extensions if you want. Generally they're frowned upon but like everything in exercise science there is some debate and shifting of opinions. Sort of like the notion that weak VMOs are the source of patellar pain and that targeting them leads to positive outcomes.

You sound like you want an argument. I'm not interested. I am proud to say I am a relative newcomer to proper strength training. I can say that your arguments do not agree with anything I've come across yet, but hey, if it works for you, go for it.

Crunches are overemphasized and should take a back seat to exercises which train your real core muscles. Most people don't need them. They need a stronger posterior chain, obliques(and all the little core muscles), back extensions and training on proper breathing.
Speaking of company/product names in the new top-level domains making cool domain hacks that aren’t even really “domain hacks” anymore (like TE’s great one), I was astounded to note yesterday in the giant Apple thread that Apple doesn’t seem to own “macbook.pro”.
You can do a lot of the things you want, just not necessarily in an ergonomic way. I think eventually it will be a decent platform for the kind of user who writes excel macros and basic automation scripts, but not for actual programming unless they make radical changes to what's allowed in the app store.

iSH gives you an Alpine linux environment, running in x86 usermode emulation. It's still only a beta though, I have no idea if it would even be allowed on the app store.

Pythonista gives you a python environment, it's good for automation type things. You can do stuff like run an HTTP server locally and access it from the browser.

Inspect is a neat web browser with some basic dev tools.

Scriptable is a bit like Workflow/Shortcuts, but in Javascript.
I’m referring to the arrow where I’m a goof and didn’t pay close enough attention to how I was using the app! :)

I’d have sworn when I hit the arrow the comment thread collapsed. But when I read your reply and went back in to try, you’re clearly correct.

Thanks for clarifying.
Differential outcomes and putting your muslim population into "re-education camps" without trial sure is apples to apples...
It's always funny to see the upvote/downvote swings on comments like these.

I try to keep them more substantive overall, but what else can be said about this. Clearly there are still major ethical concerns with access to these facial recognition black boxes and clearly amazon shareholders are far more concerned with expanding into any legal market as quick as possible.

Amazon is /the/ poster child of late capitalism as far as I'm concerned. Ruthlessly efficient, impossible to escape even if you hate them (I mean, come on, like I'm gonna go to a store when I just grab it on Prime now), and literally run all the retail stuff as a revenue front to expand deep into subterranean territory (AWS, etc). No nod to "Don't Be Evil" here, just a gigantic black box that can pump out money for shareholders. Enough money and leverage to apply impossible pressure in almost any market they decide to want to dominate (Still waiting to see what they do to grocery with the WF buy).

And still mostly building the layers and connections for domination. They haven't even switched into eat-the-world mode yet, they are still just grinding and building resources...

Leg extensions verboten? That's a blatantly wrong statement because you're using it _absolutely_.

You are wrong. It puts undue stress on the knees, even with low loads. I've had 3 knee operations (on one knee!) so I've been through a lot of PT. Open-loop exercises should just be avoided. Their closed-loop counterparts are better/just as good.

for a stint i lived on the nyc subway system

one night i woke up flying across a subway car before slamming into one of the vertical hand poles

i was sitting, sleeping, facing the direction of travel and someone had pulled the emergency stop

it was 3am so the only people on the train where fellow transients

this fact must have been prominent in the mind of the person conducting the train because immediately they got on the comm and yelled, 'WHO THE FUCK PULLED THE EMERGENCY STOP?!'

the absurdity of it all helped me ignore the pain in my shoulder

i always slept with my back to my momentum after that night

Rejections of Famous Papers (2006)
People are in parks 1% of the time. The trees are there 100% of the time. Nevertheless, parks are for people, not trees.
I can’t disagree with your observations but you make it sound like the article is debating the merit of an Apple product against a Microsoft product. It’s not.
From the article:

Responding to the shareholder vote, Democratic U.S. Representative Jimmy Gomez said, “that just means that it’s more important that Congress acts.”

Republican members of the committee expressed concern about U.S. citizens having their rights violated and their information shared with the likes of the FBI without elected officials’ oversight. A second hearing on the topic is scheduled for June 4.

Any federal regulation would follow a major decision by San Francisco officials earlier this month to ban city personnel from using the technology. That contrasts with New York, Chicago and Detroit, where law enforcement have reportedly used facial recognition or acquired it with the hope of speeding up post-crime investigations.

> wealth inequality doesn't mean more poor people.

Wealth, inequality, and poor are not well-defined.
Using the typical measures:
poor being near the poverty line for an area
wealthy being access to capital (be it over 100x the poverty wealth line or double the average) and inequality, the gap in absolute terms from top to average. The pareto principle will always illustrate how greater inequality defines that there are more poor people, even when the poverty line changes. Abstract equations, notwithstanding.

> The idea that the food availabe to people is getting worse or less

The amount of food, available, is changing. The most popular bananas (https://www.sciencealert.com/new-study-confirms-that-bananas...), beef, fish (http://wwf.panda.org/what_we_do/endangered_species/cetaceans...), are all in decline for differing reasons. So there's a little truth to it from a perspective. Yours isn't any more valid than theirs, so what did you add to the discussion?

Ironically, the beef industry may be kept on life support due to the ongoing climate change. New grazelands will appear from beneath the tundra across the world offering another few generations of opportunity. Buy your land in the US Dakotas for your grandchildren. It's a golden opportunity.
