My wife teaches 8th grade and I did something similar with her classes a couple of years ago. My example was pulling up a NASA twitter post and changing it to read "Mrs. BLAH is the best teacher in the universe!" (or something like that). They thought it was incredible and couldn't believe you could "hack" computers like that.

This type of thing is also a really good teaching moment; you can't always believe everything you see on the Internet or a screenshot.
Because I can fully customise it using something like BetterTouchTool.

And so in IntelliJ I have custom buttons for executing common commands. I never remembered what each function key does in each app so it's useful for me.

What Is CRO? Your Guide to Conversion Rate Optimization
To be clear, I'm not talking about this Mac Pro in particular, but things like the Boxx or Mac Pro.

You would get something like this instead of consumer hardware because man hours cost real money. At a previous job they wanted a VR PC, so someone speced out a bunch of high end parts and a case with flashy lights. A couple days of my salary went to putting it all together. That was the first time I had to RMA a motherboard. When I asked they didn't think to confirm the GPU would fit in the case and luckily it did. It also took a couple weeks longer than it should to get up and running because of things like this.

Some specialty software is only certified for specific hardware. You can probably deviate, but it's like building a hackintosh. You might not be able to upgrade it and the man hours will likely kill any benefit.

I also see a lot of managers forget that artists aren't always tech savvy. Honestly, you don't pay them to be tech support, anyway. You want to pay a known quantity and get improved return. It can be a huge time suck to nickel-and-dime when you're tying to manage large projects.

However, using consumer grade hardware has its place.
For both IBM and Microsoft, I would argue that anti-trust cases at least contributed to their fall from the top.

So Threadripper 3 has not been (effectively) cancelled? (Disappeared from all roadmaps.) Any links?

I so want to buy that CPU, but I'm starting to suspect it might never be released.
no cuda, so it's definitely not for machine learning

Are you assuming that the cost of the disputed transaction - the goods that were sent to the customer and supposedly not coming back - is $0?

For $10,000 of sales of one's music $40 does not sound terrible. For $10,000 of sales of high-end watches $40 to have the reimbursement is a helluva great deal.

Your authoritarian stance here is really condescending and odd.
Though, driving culture matters a fair bit, too.

For example, I find Chicago to be much more pleasant to drive in than Milwaukee. Chicago's driving culture is relatively aggressive, yes, but there are conventions that people follow, so traffic is generally predictable. Once you get to know the rules, it's fairly easy to navigate given the traffic density. Whereas, in Milwaukee, the only convention I could discern during the several years I lived there is that the person who's trying to merge onto the highway going 20mph below the speed limit is also the person who'll fly past you at 20mph above the speed limit a minute or two later.

iOS has had files and gamepad support for years. The new things announced today are:

- SMB fileshare and SD card access in Files on iOS.

- PS4 and Xbox One gamepad support for the HomePod & iOS.
It only seems like Mozilla is independent because they are the most independent - a truly independent browser would probably do something shocking, like bundling adblock.
SATNet: Bridging deep learning and logical reasoning with differentiable SAT
This is more for other readers as I'm sure you know this, but VFX / animation facilities are very different than other post-production functions like editing and sound, which almost always run on Macs. Final Cut and Logic are mostly the reasons for that (Blackmagic is making a real effort to change that though).
around 75zł (around $20) for a 90-day package that offers the two satellite providers in common use, with all channels and PPV events unlocked. A premium TV package with just one of those would be around 120 zł (around $35). Basically all TV that you could ever want over here. There aren't any channels not on one of those two. Everything is paid via bitcoin and you only use the internet to transmit the keys (which are small enough to work well on dial up), so throttling, tracking and flaky connections aren't really that much of an issue. The only downside, and a big one, is that you need to find and purchase an appropriate box (around 200zł or so I've heard) or an extension card for your PC. Then you need to configure everything, install some plug ins, use an english interface, upload a config via ftp etc. I'm only vaguely familiar with the process myself, as I haven't ever set something like that up, but it's definitely not for the sort that can't tell a search engine from a web browser. Bitcoin is also a hassle. That's why no one really uses it, I guess.
Just as I'm curious what prices really were. don't know exactly what Gr tower line you are talking about, but according to https://www.macstories.net/mac/the-power-mac-g4-line/ , the first reasonable powermac G4 was summer 2000, and

> Prices ranged from $1,599 to $3,499,

According to one online inflation calculator, $1599 in 2000 dollars is $2,372.95 in 2019 dollars. and $3499 is $5,192.58.

So, I guess, yeah.I do recall them seeming awfully expensive.

I agree this new release seems awfully awfully expensive.

Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Pennsylvania (State College) and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, ghidra, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Ah the no speed limit sign!

I rented a 5-series and drove from Frankfurt to Schwangau via Munich last December. I've been driving in the US for 4 years now, and can tell that the Autobahn is only as stressful as you want it to be. There are multiple lanes, and if you're in the leftmost lane, you'll be tailgated by those with better cars even while doing 230 kmph. If you're not into that kind of stuff, just stay in one of the right lanes and enjoy the view (otherwise you better stay extremely focused on the road!).

Driving on the Autobahn also made me realize that buying a car for its speed is extremely pointless in the Bay Area (or any place that imposes speed limits), because one would never be able to experience the thrill that comes out of pushing the gas pedal for 30 seconds straight.
Isn't providing a lower cost option a good thing?
I wish they'd make a "pro" Laptop... replaceable ssd, upgradeable ram, thinline 10gb ethernet.
Ok, thanks. I know nothing at all about Apple hardware. It's still a very daunting decision to make. I like the ability to buy my own hardware, for desktops, and to build what I like at a cheaper price. Apple charges a premium but now I have more of an idea of what that premium will get me.

It would be a huge migration for me. Everything I own is tied to one of a few Gmail accounts. My photo history, my uni work in GDrive, my contact lists, my email history, everything about my entire online identity. I'm just increasingly fed up with how Google approaches privacy.
Not OP, but I did the same thing.

Javascript Pacman.

I have a first grader who now knows how to edit the javascript file in Atom, increase the number of lives parameter, make edits to the map etc...

We also swapped out the pac man with my face, which is a source of continued amusement, especially the death animation.
Or is this meant to be the "I just want to buy my own disks separately model", with 256GB drive just there to allow OS to be pre-installed?

EDIT: I see now there are only two internal drive bays, so that would mean tossing the 256GB that comes with it if you wanted to max out the internal storage.

A paid calculator app might be better designed than a free one. Or it might not have ads, when a free one does. Or it being paid could mean that it'll be better supported with any necessary bugfixes and updates. Or the fact that it's a paid app could imply that it's better designed or better supported (without necessarily being true). Or perhaps you really care about something particular that the paid calculator app does right in your eyes, and the free ones simply don't have.

There are lots of reasons one might spend money on a paid calculator app instead of a free one, and I'm sure this list doesn't even cover all the reasons.
If you don't need macOS you can get a lot more hardware for your buck w/ PC hardware.

I have a 5k iMac with 27". I would like to have a slightly larger display, but there are not many high-dpi displays around. There would be a large market for a screen larger than 27", high-dpi, and somewhat less expensive than the new display.

> Why does everyone seem to take this for granted? I've drank tap water my entire life, living in 5 different states. It tastes good, is cheap, healthy, and environmentally friendly compared to any other option.

That's like saying "cities and states are able to pay retired teachers now, so what's the problem?" The problem is that the government under-invested in the infrastructure for decades and now those problems are coming to a head: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39410561 ($1 trillion needed to shore up "aging" water infrastructure). It's the same problem that is pervasive in municipal infrastructure. You can get away with under-investing, until you can't. It's the same reason NYC's subway has melted down, DC's subway is on fire, etc. Nationwide, infrastructure--which is mostly a municipal responsibility--is underfunded to the tune of $5 trillion by 2040: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-infrastructure-idUSKC.... That is the direct result of policies that give people what they want--more infrastructure at low prices. It works until it doesn't.

> Sure, there are examples of failure. Are they significant examples of the model being bad? Any system with thousands of examples is going to have a few failures. It doesn't mean the system is bad.

Pretty much every major city is an example, from D.C.'s inability to upgrade civil war era sewers that are polluting the Potomac to Chicago's inability to upgrade lead piping that is poisoning children.
So when are the telecoms going to be looked at?
The comparison of disinformation to a virus and proactive counter-messaging to a vaccine understandable. It's also interesting because the words "virus" and "vaccine" only make sense in relationship to the host. In this case, are the people of a country the "host" or just the government in charge?
The company that makes many of the Google Sheets add-ons (https://www.ghostwrench.net/) that I use at work has made this their bread and butter. Google Sheets IS the interface to their software.
You could ask a similar question to physical calculators, I think. Why would you pay for an advanced calculator when you can get the cheap-o solar powered calculators for free in many many places?

Because you want a quality product with some thought put in to it.
Of course, that’s because most manufacturers don’t push updates to their devices and many users are using versions from years ago.
This seems right. I know people in the venture and tech community that have been receiving inquiries for close to a year on whether big tech is too big. Of course, the venture community has a biased "expert opinion" given its in their best interest to weaken incumbents and open up lanes for new startups versus conveying what is the best course for the consumer.
It’s more likely the new Mac Pro uses the as-of-yet unannounced (but leaked [1]) Xeon W-3xxx CPUs. The current Xeon W fare doesn’t have the core counts Apple is advertising.

Maybe Apple is trying to replace that with that weird accelerator card they mentioned? If anything is going to be orphaned fast it is that card.
Those workstations were substantially different (and faster) than commodity x86 hardware at the time. Today you can buy a latest-gen 8-core CPU for $300 or so.
Was kinda hoping for trackpad / mouse support and maybe a laptop form factor.
There is also a huge disparity between what agriculture pays and what consumers pay by orders of magnitude here in California. California residential water consumers are pretty much subsidizing a lot of the produce grown, via disproportionate water pricing, for the entire United States.
Homeless people aren't pouring into California. Most of the homeless are natives.
This would be amazing.
The product is drop in compatible with MySQL so if you are using MySQL today its likely you would see some improvement. Also if you have large data sets or if you want a Highly Available database running alongside your applications in Kubernetes it would be a good fit for you. That last case is extremely powerful. You can treat your Database as a first class k8s citizen right along side your applications and have a performant scaleable, and highly available database with no more management then what you would give any k8s application.
One of the signs is labeled incorrectly. The clear white circle with the four diagonal lines is actually kind of a combination of the other two white circle signs. It means end of any speed limits and end of any passing restrictions.

There is no need for a "No speed limit" sign because this is the default.
Thank you so much for this. I was learning iOS again for the fourth time. This time is different. I learned about programmatic UI from Brian LBTA guy which has been so much easier than IB. Now this update just makes my learning iOS a whole lot easier for me. I'm so thrilled. Thank you thank you thank you Apple!!!!!!!!
One could argue that, but one could also say what the specific lie they think Clinton spread is. He did indeed have relations with her, and tried to trick the public into thinking he didn't.

That second part is what I don't see here. From the author's perspective, which specific facts is Mohan trying to trick the audience into disbelieving? It doesn't sound like he denied that there's extremist content attracting views on Youtube.
Who gives a shit if it -is- self promoting?

I was reading a blog post about narcissism. The author’s comment regarding whether one went on a Red Cross trip to Haiti out of good motives or bad matters to what kind of person you are, but sure as hell doesn’t matter to the Haitians.

Ultimately this sort of judgment and outrage isn’t about the famous person - it’s about our self esteem. Because if I can judge you on “what you really are” rather than your actual deeds, then he’s not so great, and my lazy non-Thai-rescuing ass isn’t so bad. This is ego protection by the mediocre, and little more.

Sure, this is not a mass-market product. But I'm actually glad that the concept of a high-end workstation is making a comeback. Not everything needs to be dirt-cheap, we should not necessarily feel entitled to every product on the market being in our price range, and I'd love to see some competition on the high-end.

…have you taken a look at development for Apple’s platforms lately? Nobody has been able to do this yet.
Privitization is in theory an orthogonal issue. In practice, public water entities can't be trusted to price water appropriately because they're too heavily influenced by short-term political demands.
In case this isn't a joke, double jeopardy in the United States applies only to criminal cases, and two antitrust cases against one company need not necessarily be the same offense.

The solution is to rent an office for yourself, or you can work from co-working hubs if you're more on the extrovert side. Even without kids having a separate work space helps a lot in keeping the work/life balance in check.
I find that link aggregation is pretty much useless and/or unstable. Not sure what good two 10gbe ports do. But seeing 10gbe becoming part of the standard spec is a really welcomed improvement. Not the least because it will drive prices down.
Yep, but all else being equal you would also choose the one with fewer other customers. So in terms of the first-order effects, each additional user (as in, rider not driver) actually makes things worse for existing users! There's the secondary effect that each additional user encourages more drivers to sign up, but while this might compensate for the first-order effect it's not going to overcompensate.

For another perspective, you can look at things empirically. Has Uber used network effect to dominate the market and force out competitors? No; Lyft, traditional taxis, and foreign ride-sharing companies are still around. To the extent that Uber is winning, it's because it has a better product (for a definition of better that includes burning VC money to lower prices).

Contrast this with Facebook: the only major similar product in recent history is Google+, which died pretty quickly. All other successful social networks differentiate themselves in some way, because they have to.
I'm not sure, I'm not a doctor. A normal temperature reading isn't unusual after taking Panadol. I'm not going to the doctors for fun, I knew I was really sick.
