So they brought back the cheese grater Mac Pro. Now, was that so hard? Let the shutting up and money-taking begin...

However, watching them demo the new one is just a painful reminder of what an over-priced bad idea the trashcan was, and we had to put up with that shit, and the apologetics to go with it, for six years. Demo's not done, but I'm hoping I don't have to listen to Ive's smooth British accent telling me it's the best, we really mean it this time. Get the person that slayed the management dragon to get this thing built and let them do the voice-over.

As a bike commuter who's not exactly in Tour de France riding condition, I whole-heartedly love what few physically protected bike lanes there are in my city. They've greatly extended the range of places I feel comfortable riding my bike. I don't know if I'll ever be in good enough shape to feel comfortable claiming a lane and riding in traffic anywhere but neighborhoods and steep downhills. Yeah, it's a pain to turn left from a physically protected lane on the right, but those small delays are totally worth the added safety of the curb/whatever.

> Social Security in the USA, for example, has a negative ROI. For it to work the government has to take money from younger working people in order to pay for older retired people. As the population shrinks you have less and less young people being forced to support the larger number of retired people.

You can solve that entire problem with a few years of inflation. There's nothing, in principle, wrong with a guaranteed return-until-you-die investment, as part of a retirement strategy.

It's a smart part of a diverse retirement portfolio (Especially when compared with a 100% commitment to the guaranteed-contribution, variable-return investments of 401ks). I wish I could invest more than 3% of my income into SS - and I expect to take a haircut on that investment.
On the surface this kind of solution is easy to dismiss as an expensive socialist extreme; a cost to the taxpayer that there is no political appetite for in other countries. Yet counter-intuitively this is likely a saving for the taxpayer, as hospitals and prisons often end up filling this role, at a much larger cost than simply housing people.

I have been using Ruby on Rails since 2006 as both a hobbyist and a professional, in addition to other Ruby frameworks such as Padrino or Hanami. I am seeking challenging problems that engage my creativity and desire to build neatly architected, functional, and well-tested apps. Very open to opportunities to do more front-end development (particularly in React), or move into other languages and frameworks such as Elixir or Phoenix.
My current "flow" music is the Hamilton musical, so I threw in Lin-Manuel Miranda into it.

The entire result was hot garbage.

However, there were buried segments that were good, but I'd have to lay that on the tightness of Mr. Miranda's lyrics as we're dealing with Markov chains.

All in all, that was a few minutes of amusement.
No, what you're saying is a fallacy. After the housing bubble popped around 2008, millions of people around the world found themselves homeless. It can happen to anyone at any time for almost any reason, but often for things like healthcare costs or work accidents leading to unemployment and even bankruptcy. And it will happen again, and still nobody will remember, because of this mantra that homelessness is a lack of personal responsibility.

In fact, I would go as far as to say that your labelling of homelessness as a behavioral problem is the cause of homelessness. Repeated all around the world by countless people and politicians.

If we really want to solve poverty and homelessness, we need to start by separating the financial aspect from the behavioral aspect.

The financial aspect involves everything from vast wealth inequality, to lack of urban planning, to the divergence of wealth and automation, to regressive taxation and extortive healthcare programs. This is basically represented by 40 years of trickle down economics and complete disregard for externalities like environmental damage or displaced populations.

The behavior aspect centers mostly around mental health issues like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and yes addiction. Things which are all present in the wealthy but properly managed by therapy, medication and a large support network made possibly by the possession of money. There's absolutely no reason we can't offer treatment to the poor. And indeed we used to, before Ronald Reagan began defunding mental health programs in the US:

https://sites.psu.edu/psy533wheeler/2017/02/08/u01-ronald-re...

Personally, I vote to maintain the separation of church and state in the US, which means that the government shouldn't have a say in what appropriate personal behavior is. Which means as a culture, we have a responsibility to pay into a system which is concerned with the care of people who need it.

Churches can still feed and house the homeless, but they shouldn't be the only ones tasked with that responsibility.

For anyone reading this, if you haven't thought about how your personal moral and religious beliefs play into the problem of homelessness, now is the time.

We're big proponents of location flexibility in the workplace at Out Of Office. Work doesn't have to be so black and white with 100% in the office or 100% remote work. We think a combination of both working in the office and offering employees one or two flexible days to work from home or a coffee shop leads to higher employee retention.

I'm 100% remote but have never experienced some of the downsides mentioned in the article, but I know others who have. I'd like to see companies transition from their rigid policies to more flexibility that gives their employees greater control over their schedule.

Yes I would say you're right and this stuff should be obvious immediately to any adult, especially one who also knows how to drive a car.

But watching the behavior of "people on bikes" who are not "established cyclists" it seems as soon as everyone gets on a bike they initially go through a period of forgetting everything about how the road works, probably because they are super afraid of the cars. I don't think you really can blame them, fear is a very real & serious thing and it makes us all forget how to think things through. You have to get through a period where someone educates you and you get your bearings enough to get rid of the fear and have the basics ingrained enough you can start to think clearly about your behavior. It's no different than the process someone goes through in all kinds of other activities which can be super dangerous without training. People go through this process for sure with swimming for example.

I had the correct way of doing things drilled into me from an early age as I am not the first generation of my family to decide it's fun & worthwhile to ride thousands and thousands of miles/yr. So by the time I was an adult I just had to learn the extra stuff around big huge multi-lane roads and city intersections. I'd gotten all the basics drilled into me from at least a decade of riding on suburban roads and being told when I was doing it wrong.

I am trying to gradually introduce the rules of the road and correct cycling behavior to my own son now, that started right after he got off training wheels.
There may be a good reason for it. Excel may be quick to set up, but is not known for data integrity. You don't want important data being subject to willy-nilly changes.

> Are they not already trying?

If they're resorting to blaming and hating the opposite sex, then no, they are not trying to better themselves. You can't improve yourself if you're assigning the blame outside yourself.

> Accept they were born unattractive - then what

A lot of shitty cards are dealt in life. Being unattractive is just one of them. Yes, accept and move on.
Why wouldn't that be the case for Helsinki?
Markets partially solved this problem a more than a century ago - the solution was "really shitty, cheap, shared housing". As a society we decided that such housing was unacceptable and banned it without providing a replacement.

"This enormously regulated industry doesn't yield outcomes we like for the poor! Obviously markets cannot solve this problem!" is a disturbingly common argument.
iPhone doesn’t have a screen large enough or a USB connector…how would you use the “new Files app”?
I'm curious if there is a way we could avoid the cost all together if we don't need the money deposited in our bank accounts right away?

I work for a non-profit & we had some very large donations come in online through Stripe. Someone did a typo donated $10,000. I'm sure we could set some max limit & say no donations larger than $X but it was common to have $1,000 donations. Even with a $1,000 donations the fee gets expensive.

In our case, we don't need those funds immediately. We would much rather not have access to them for a month & not have to worry about a request for the funds to be refunded.
There's no requirement that data that is parsed get fed into a model or algorithm to sell you stuff. Note that this article doesn't make any concrete claims about nefarious actions (that's because there aren't any).
> My guess is you don’t have kids. This certainly feels like an opinion of a younger person

I'm 40 and I don't have kids, but I remember quite a bit from my childhood and its challenges. My friends have kids and I like them and I see how they struggle to entertain themselves. I buy them legos to enrich their environments. I even occasionally get concerned how much they play on their phones when I'm not playing with them.

> Now think about how long it’s been since we advanced from first mobile entertainment to now.

Since first mobile entertainment device was a stick I'd say quite a bit of time has passed.

Smartphone is not the ultimate boredome nullifier. It's just the best, richest, most versatile tool we have so far. But if you think your kids should get bored don't worry. Boredom will always find the way. Kids get plenty bored when they are on their phones (more than a-dull-ts). Then they seek new stuff, on their phones and outside of them. There are lots of worse ways to fight the boredom like joining some cultish group or trying drugs.

If you're wealthy enough you can sign up for a concierge medicine service and get exactly that. But it's simply impossible to deliver that level of service to the general population. There wouldn't be enough primary care doctors to go around (we already have shortages in many areas) and there's no realistic way to fund drastically expanding the number of doctors any time soon.
Feeling a bit “everything old is new again”. So they’re finally making a “real” power desktop again, and the big thing about iPadOS is a multi-window feature that we’ve basically had since Windows ‘95... even the macpro design looks like a direct riff on their own 20-year-old “cheesegrater”.

I mean, I’m obviously happy (although i’ll likely never be able to afford a macpro). But all the rivers of (digital) ink spent on the “paradigm shift” of iOS-like forms and conventions now look pretty silly.
the multi-tasking/multi-window looks incredibly complicated, full of hidden gestures/commands that aren't really discoverable

The situation with water infrastructure isn’t sustainable even ignoring cities with shrinking populations. Many cities, like DC, are growing but have bad problems with their water systems, because of the extreme aversion to raising rates to the necessary level.
We've been thinking about this for Mailsac.com. It is already possibly but clunky. Considered making browser plugins to make it easier to create and route disposable addresses, and "black hole" disposable email addresses once it's clear they've been resold to advertisers.
The issue is that protected bike lanes are not designed for you or me, I prefer riding in traffic, too. They are designed for people with less active riding styles. Elderly people, kids, women. For them the trade off works: spend a little more time on turns and crossings, be safe from cars overtaking close. In the end, it doesn’t even really matter if their fear is rational or not, it prevents that demographic from cycling. And to be an effective mode of transport, cycling needs to feel safe for everyone. The Dutch have that figured out.

Interesting development, I'd had the impression that they were moving towards MacOS on all devices, but I suppose it comes down to naming as very much is shared, though it would be nice if a small macbook was actually the same as a large ipad with a keyboard.
You're right, but in practice I don't see how it can be made that simple or painless.

There is no way to switch from email and Excel to a third-party web application without major rework.

That's what makes it hard.
>I think the ship around users accepting privacy policy changes through continued use of a free product has sailed.

The following are excerpts from a good article from the American Bar Association:

>The existing case law on online modifications, however, is scant. The few existing opinions rely appropriately on off-line contract modification rules to determine whether the authors of the original contract terms succeeded in effectively modifying those terms. Unfortunately, the decisions to date do not yet provide us with predictability as to the enforceability of online contract modifications.

>in order for a modification to be enforceable, it must be supported by consideration, or, in the case of contracts governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, it must be entered into in good faith. See U.C.C. § 2-209 cmt. 2.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens with identity theft.

Imagine if someone stole your credit card number, ordered $5000 worth of furniture with it, had it delivered, and then you discovered the unauthorized purchases on your account and disputed the charge. The vendor has no choice but to just eat it.

It's unfortunate, but it happens, and the only way to mitigate it is to raise prices to offset this kind of losses.

Completely untrue. Bike helmets do increase the risk of concussion but decrease the risk of other serious injuries or death.
