Woah, are they leading the market into 8c (16t?) notebooks? They lagged most vendors in shipping 6c notebooks previously.
For what it's worth, men are certainly underrepresented in nursing in the US. From https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/04/upshot/male-n... :

"Only 13 percent of nurses in the United States are men, but that share has grown steadily since 1960, when the number was 2 percent, according to a working paper published in October by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth."
If only there was a way to buy it without that stupid touch bar.
I'm a big fan of "unbalancedparen". He's a great guy; smart and considerate.

I think the Industry has invited this sort of bad behavior by rewarding Cry Bullies at conferences. People act enititled and they're not willing to put up with speakers who they may have political or philosophical problems with. Similarly, speakers are expecting privileged treatment too, like the spurned speaker in this blog posting.

When there is a real problem, we're unsure who or what to believe. People will complain with the same force whether the problem is big or small. And everyone tries for a "gotcha" and then to have a Trial by Twitter.
LA Times, 3 years ago: "Is 5G technology dangerous? Early data shows a slight increase of tumors in male rats exposed to cellphone radiation"

There's only a slight increase in tumors but otherwise it's completely harmless!
I think that's true for male nurses, but at least in my country male Kindergarten teachers often have a hard time.

Parents not wanting their daughter to be touched (or even helped to the toilet) by the male teacher, female colleagues making "jokes" about pedophile leanings, and so on.

The divide in typically female and typically male professions is not a one-way street.
Sounds like he made the right decision not to have her present. Any rejection that generates such a wave of hatred and downright threatening activity was certainly on good grounds, regardless of the situation before what happened afterwards validates it.
If you searched for this, you would find multiple programs trying to do just that. The difference is that it doesn't make the news because there isn't a reactionary movement which sees that as an existential threat.

Wrong, or contrary to your preferred style?

I see names like Macdonald and MacDonald, where one family prefers the mid-capitalisation to another or family names like De Havilland. But it seems like a reasonable disambiguation to capitalise a family name.

Could you be more specific about what makes it "wrong".

FWIW my family name is commonly misspelt, life is too short to get too hung up about it. In my case it's just a name that existed prior to English standardisation.

I am not a doctor but I want to tell you what really helped me. Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium L-Threonate, L-Tryptophan. These are not sleeping pills. They are supplements to compensate for Magnesium and amino acid deficiencies which shouldn't exist in the first place. You don't need to take all three. For me L-Tryptophan works the best.
“Free” also carries meaning outside of the commercial context and specifically in the context of software to English-speaking software developers. If I heard someone talking about software—especially developer software—being free, I personally would assume they mean “libre”, not “gratis”. But I can understand if that’s not universal.
I don't think I've ever seen a "Black Men Nurse"
Perhaps adjusting the capitalization, e.g. McMILLAN rather than MCMILLAN?

When they themselves have repurposed the name, can we really be surprised that someone else chooses to do so? Perhaps there are outraged Greek scholars out there fuming at "those damn Physicists" for getting in the way of their search results.

When an application, say a browser, crashes on my computer it asks whether I want to submit the crash log, and I decide whether or not I want to.

I don't want the applications to continually send the data to the vendor.

In your case, Canon will ask to look at your camera or ask for some log, you will give it to them by choice, they will look at it and find/fix the problem. There is no automatic implied approval just because I bought something from someone.

>It started with the mandate to pre-fund pension and healthcare benefits for the next 75 years, funding pensions for retired employees who aren't even born yet.

This is wholly inaccurate. All that the USPS is being required to do is set aside money to pay for pension liabilities that they have incurred. Nothing close to funding pensions for employees that have yet to be born.

Besides, this is all hypothetical as the USPS has not actually made the payments they were supposed to.
Obviously all humans are different but this has never happened to me, not even once. I use it often and would be annoyed to go back.

I would love to see real data about the Touch Bar, but sadly it’ll never get released. So we are all left to private theories and speculation and anecdotes.
Honestly I'm tired of Home Depot. If you want real service go to your local Ace or similar. Plus they have a more refined selection of products.
Adds weight and limits range.
I would pay +$500 happily for that as a CTO config. Retaining the touchid button would be nice but not critical. I'd pay +$1000 for mechanical top row plus faceid.

My problem is that due to wrist injury I angle my left hand enough that my pinky finger sometimes touches esc or other areas. I have remapped the touch bar but not having esc where I want it also sucks. Mechanical keys don't actuate merely on touch, so this is only a problem on apple.

I'm considering remapping caps lock to esc and then putting tape over the touchbar, at least on the left side, to reduce sensitivity
I know a male nurse, and he's constantly getting jibes from patients about being gay. He's not, but that's kind of beside the point; the point is that there do exist stereotypes about male nurses that need to be addressed.
I just can’t see myself spending that much on a laptop. I can’t productively use my laptop for day to day use without connecting it to two external monitors and keyboard anyway.

You can get an 8 Core 27 inch 5K iMac $100 cheaper, with less thermal constraints.

I really don't see how it "It disregards the cultural history of names". As far as I'm concerned the order of the names is just a minor grammatical difference.
No, not at all. The argument is that since Facebook moderates their site according to their own arbitrary standards, it's not a place for public assembly but a publication that Facebook is responsible for as if it were a newspaper. If they did not moderate, it would not apply.
Sure. It's a very good line of work.

Are the new 8-core CPUs fast enough to make them faster than the old CPUs were before all the Intel bugs? Or are we just ponying up more cash for the same level of performance?
In genealogical research it's typical to not only standardize capitalization of family names (typically to ALL CAPS) but to also standardize spelling to the most common or first used spelling. Otherwise searching becomes a very frustrating venture, and these things change surprisingly quickly through generations.

>No, it isn't. We think it's possible because we have extensive experimental data on fusion reactions from Earthbound experiments. From those experiments we know a wide range of possible conditions that can produce sustained, controlled fusion.

There is zero evidence sustained, controlled, above break-even fusion works at the types of energy densities people talk about for power plants. None; keine, zero, zilch: there is arguably as much evidence for this as the existence of ghosts or leprechauns. The models don't work! I ain't saying we shouldn't try, but there are by now reasonable arguments to be made that it's a big waste of time and money better spent on something boring that we know will work, like thorium.

To make another technological analogy from nature: if the earth's gravitational potential well were larger, we wouldn't have been able to achieve orbit using chemical rockets. The specific impulse of fuels which exist in the periodic table of the elements would have been insufficient to achieve this. For example: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.04727 -similarly, the properties of plasmas may make it impossible to achieve controlled, above break-even nuclear fusion in a conveniently small and dense volume. There is at present no evidence that it can be achieved. They've been working on it for 65 or 70 years now depending on how you count things, you'd think there would be some positive indications by now beyond optimistic press releases.

As for your wishful thinking that a controlled nuclear fusion technology couldn't be used as a weapon, well, there you go again with that wishful thinking. Controlled fusion is a non-proliferation nightmare. Should this actually come to pass and become routine enough to be a meaningful part of the power grid, it will be a hell of a lot easier to build a fusion howitzer than an ICBM with H bomb at the business end of it.

I mean, you're a nuclear physicist, man!

No better display like oled.
Looks like the same keyboard to me. Oh the material has changed? Who cares, it's the same failing mechanism.
More CPU eh? Means it'll just get hotter much quicker and there will be more throttling to be fixed via software.

At this rate, for Apple to get my $$$ again they'll have to release a 16" [oled] macbook pro, with a redesigned keyboard and arm chipset so that the body is entirely cool even under load.

Maybe in 2022 I can see myself buying another macbook pro. Man, I can't wait till Tim Cook gets replaced. We need another visionary at he helm of Apple. Someone who will push the envelope again!
Why would Elon Musk worry about the stock price fluctuating? How is the company affected by the stock price? The only thing I can think of is as follows: When the company needs liquid capital, they sell shares that they already own, and in that case a higher stock price is more beneficial.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
China limits all foreign companies from accessing it's market. The true reason is to provide a safe heaven to allow local companies develop it's own technology and capability before killed off by foreign companies. During 80s when China is start to open up the market, China has literally no private enterprises with good capability on it's own. Foreign companies from US and Europe have too advanced of technology and scale simply because they have been developing much longer while China was being war ravaged. These companies would easily take over the china market and kill any local enterprises. Look at the affect of the ban, China now as pretty good technology on it's own and local companies with the scale that can compete with foreign companies. Foreign companies now entering China find difficulty partly because of the regulatory environment but also because of local competition is much stronger. I would argue that Apple sales decrease in China is not mainly from regulation but competition from Huawei xiaomi and oppo. Now contrast this with Europe and Canada, especially in the tech market, no one has home grown technology companies that are big enough to compete with the US. Many homegrown companies went away because of it cannot compete with the US. Is would surely damage local economy right? I think the advantages and disadvantages to free market must be carefully balanced.
I wish there was an option to get the current specs into the 2015 macbook pro so I could avoid the keyboard.

This so much. I would have upgraded at least twice already if that was an option. Sadly, it isn't and that's why I still use a pretty old model hoping it doesn't get too obsolete soon.
Lots of us are unfamiliar with the day-to-day details of soviet communism. Were people paid for their labor? Was everyone given ration cards? Was a party membership enough to get some basic food from one of these stores?

I think the question is, was money abolished along with capitalism?
You make some very good points, and you might be right. My educated guess is that this strategy is to get as many people as possible to try this. That would mean letting people do prototypes for commercial purposes too, but not to ship in production. Now, whether that will be enough to keep people hooked so that they use us in production as well depends on a lot of factors, both technical and political.

I think your worries about what is kosher and what isn't under this license are warranted and I'll try to point this to people internally so that the licensing terms can be clarified.
Same problem here. Turns out one of my fingers brushes the area just above the number keys when performing certain modifier-key stretches. Never noticed it before, since it's not an issue with real buttons. Try locking it to only the main view (no per-app views) in the settings, then customize it to remove almost everything from it. Only way I was able to make it tolerable.
Oddly enough though, in 2014, they introduced Mac Minis that were slower than the previous generation.
Yes. Aren't you?
This is a much stronger take. Bad actors from all parties at many conferences - hosts, speakers, and attendees - are making these situations into powder kegs: opportunities for interested groups to cause large scale disruptions to forward their own causes and override the actual theme and utility of the conferences themselves.
That's how they launch the best iPhone ever every year.
They claim (again) to have fixed it.

Not worth buying until we have at LEAST a few months of experience to see if they really did this time.
Is this common? We used to have an office in SG, and I don't recall ever seeing it.
Not only does Apple offer no option to buy a 15 inch with a full keyboard, they’ve also failed to upgrade the 13 inch model with this refresh.

WTF, honestly.
while software driven, there is a program you can get called Haptic Touch Bar, which vibrates when you hit the touchbar buttons.

Not perfect, but at least sort of helpful.

The main point, let me have a nice version without the touchbar is shared.
Yep, I understand what you are saying, what I am saying is that I do not agree with you :). I do not think buying a device means that the data it produces is solely yours to control/own.

You are welcome to disagree with me :)
I never got why, if they really want the touch bar, they don't do both. F-keys and touch bar. I kinda would have welcomed this because the "fn" key is a horrible presence on any laptop keyboard anyway and I'd happily would have seen them delegate screen brightness and audio to the touch bar as a separate input.
> If you're building something that's going to get a predictable load of 10k QPS and is only going to read from a DB and return some data it might be a good idea to break that out, run that in a serverless configuration, etc.

Serverless costs you money. Running a low-volume db in the same VM you serve the site and the web api costs you zero.

Popular Frameworks of Python with Key Features
The arrow keys and touchbar make that machine completely unsuitable for writing code, at least for me. My right hand needs to unconsciously lock on to the arrow keys, and that's just impossible with that layout. There's nothing to grab on to. My new iMac keyboard sits in a drawer collecting dust solely because of the arrow keys.

And the butterfly mechanism is unproven and untrustworthy, I don't care how many times they update it.

They need to go back to using the same keyboard mechanisms for both their desktops and laptops, and they need to go back to the old arrow key layout.

I will wait another year until 2020.

The Nazis in particular utilised the mass media of the times, most especially audio, public address, and radio, though also video newsreels and cheap paperback publishing, to spread their message.

During and prior to WWII, german advances especially in audio capture (mic), recording (mag tape), playback (speakers), and broadcast & receiver (radio) were decades ahead of the Allies' own technology.

You don't get the Nueremberg rallies without high-quality mics, massive public-address ampifiers and speakers and cinematgraphy (Leni Riefenstahl). Hitler's ability to broadcast live-quality radio addresses across Germany stumped Allied intelligence -- their best recording technologies were wire recordings and low-fidelity vinyl, both with very obvious artifacts (wire recorder demo here, at beginning of video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=90ihiTwJPCc). The only way to achieve this quality otherwise was to be in the studio, and this clearly wasn't possible.

("Wearing a wire" refers to wire recorders.)

After WWI, Bing Crosby, with support through military and government intelligence, was instrumental in developing US magnetic audio and data tape technology, through AMPEX and 3M.

(There is a further AMPEX-CIA connection through Larry Ellison and Oracle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison)

It was German use of mass media -- though in WWI-- that turned the meaning of 'propaganda" from literally a holy undertaking (the propagation of faith by the Roman Catholic Church) to its present pejorative sense. WWII Nazis capitalised heavily on and greatly extended earlier practices.

Tactical use of radio communications also playe a decisive role in war -- the key differentiator between Grman and French armour in the Battle of France was that German tanks all had radios, and could respond to developing circumstances. French tankers could only play out prescribed batle plans, or act independently and uncoordinated with all other units.

There is actually a long history of the disruptive (and often highly harmful) effects of new and especially mass media, and numerous historical inflection points can be traced to revolutions in information and communications technologies: moveable type and the Thirty Years War, vast advances in printing technology and literacy and the revolutions of 1789-1914, and later ("the long 19th century" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_nineteenth_century), yellow journalism and the Spanish-American War, WWI, tje Russian Revolution, WWII, the Chinese Revolution, Father Coughlan, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, the Vietnam War ant ant-war movements, the rise of hard-right talk radio and cable television, and lately, social and mobile Internet.

Today's Nazis and KKK are using the Internet. It's the cheap, high-fidelity, visceral-imact mass medium of the age.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore with 2200. There is only one thread combination that allows CS students to skip 2110, but quite a few combinations that allow skipping 2200, not even mentioning 4290. Anecdotal, but out of people who graduated with me that I know, barely two thirds of them took 2200 :(

P.S. For clarification, since those classes are in a series (2110->2200->4290), skipping an earlier one means you are skipping all the following ones too.
