I hope that this is a sign of increased scrutiny overall, that will lead to the ISP/media conglomerates too. Comcast is extremely exploitive of it's regulatory capture of my local government and has a far more detrimental direct effect on my life than Google does, because I am able to block Google and use alternatives. Though perhaps the investigation around Google is mostly about their customers and not their users, I.e. ad purchasers.
This single feature shown off today at WWDC has solidified my forever lock-in on all things Apple and especially iOS: no longer will my email be sold needlessly or be spammed and my logging into to different web properties sold to marketers and ad networks and data aggregators. I trust Apple a whole lot more becaUe they charge and arm-and-a-leg for high end hardware and soon services because the products and services are the products not their users.

It's extremely one-sided. Europeans showed up and assumed the land was unoccupied because the people already here related to it differently. This is the most even-handed, compassionate for both sides approach I can think of for explaining how things went so very wrong without assuming the settlers were being intentionally malicious(and I happened to write it): https://1001histories.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-little-known-...

But there comes a point past which the callous indifference that goes on to this very day, where Indigenous women are raped and murdered at some crazy high rate, like 10 or 12 times as much as other women, cannot be excused as some sort of innocent faux pas where whites, ever so sadly, simply had no idea.

Crimes do not only occur because someone did a bad thing. Crimes can also occur because people said "Eh, not my problem." and did nothing to prevent it. Criminal negligence, felony manslaughter -- these are concepts and legal standards we already have. No one needs to invent them whole cloth to talk about what is wrong with Indigenous peoples continuing to suffer so very much while so many people say "Not my problem."

I've said my piece. I don't plan to engage this further. I don't believe you really want to take the issue seriously.
> Around me, they put these 'bike' lanes on 45+ mph roads. The average driver is reckless and much too distracted to effectively spot the occasional cyclist.

I stopped commuting when I almost got run over twice in two days when cars felt like using the "protected" bike lane I was in to pass other cars during rush hour.

I'd rather drive and park 20 blocks away and walk instead of taking a chance biking in the city where a majority of people have no idea how to drive or observe basic rules of the road.
Visitu | iOS/Swift Developer | Full or Part Time | REMOTE (USA Only)

Visitu is a visitor management platform specifically designed for k-12 schools, expanding into other areas of campus safety. We have an existing customer base that loves the product and are preparing to take on many more clients soon.

We are looking for a full-time or part-time (25-30/hr week, its up to you. Were flexible.) developer to take over our iPad application, you'll work closely with our lead developer (myself). If you have shipped an iOS app before, lets talk.

As the dev team, we care a lot about our productivity, efficiency, and tooling. Our iOS stack includes Apollo (GraphQL), Fastlane, SnapKit, and CircleCI.

Interested? Email me directly tyler@visitu.com with some of your work and a way to call you. I'll be checking my email all week.
You use pretty strong language and have your facts wrong (in the post above when you say chats are stored in plain text). What's your angle?

Also, we are discussing web login options here which afaik Signal doesn't support.
Or tell the driver that if he doesn't turn off the screen, you're not taking the ride. And follow through.
China is making an effort to influence public opinion in Taiwan through the media.

Take a look at this post I saw a few days ago.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20058551

While two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third runs away with it.

What people saw is disinformation that looks like from China, or China looks like is the most beneficial one from the disinformation. But it doesn't necessarily mean it's from China. There might be third parties faking it to sabotage the relationship between China and Taiwan. Aka false flag.

Or simply put, I could create disinformation about me, then I crack it. That will probably discredit my competitor, even though he/she did nothing.

Of course, people could call this conspiracy theory, because lack of evidence. Similarly, people shouldn't consider that so-called China's effort is true. At least to me, I won't be so sure before I see some solid evidence.
I know this can be controversial but I do all my work at home on a computer I built myself for ~900 running macOS. I had a Coffee Lake processor before you could get one straight from Apple. It's fast and with three monitors, plenty of ram, and NVME storage I noticed increased productivity over a laptop with an external display.

With the T2 chip this may not be an option forever, and the initial setup means it may not be an option for everyone. But right now it feels like a very stable and viable option for those who were never going to buy a $6000 cheese grater in the first place.
I know being expandable is important here but I am stunned by the fact that an iMac Pro actually comes with better SSD and Video Card for less money and you get a screen to boot!

256g SSD is shameful, I don't care what they were thinking. No Nvidia support mentioned so I know a few that just wrote it off for that oversight alone. They will probably hold out just to be sure but that was the hope for them and others.

While I was never in the market for a Mac Pro, though the iMac Pro is not out of the question jump over the iMac top tier, I never expected such low starting specs for SSD and Video at this price point. 580X is old, 2017 old. If this is what they are struck with by not using Nvidia they have done everyone a disservice.

* did the spec this out in 2017 when they announced it and just locked it in?

* edit : Wrong on price, iMac Pro is 1,000 less than base Mac Pro
That's not what anarcho-capitalists mean when they use the word "anarchism", though. They are explicitly claiming a relationship to 19th c. socialist anarchism, not that "linguistic analysis means this word used elsewhere should also apply to our unrelated ideas".
When they did that they were never more than 10% of the personal computer market much less the world.

Making products for everyone is exactly how they did it, with universally popular iPods, iPhones, and wearables. The two biggest revenue drivers for them are iPhones and Services(Music, Pay, App Store, etc) (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q2%20FY19%20Consolidated...), they sell almost as much in iPads alone as they do in Macs. Those are all services that they famously made broadly popular and target towards the average consumer. It's only really in the Mac space that they target primarily the "high end" consumers.
But it is Swift, which (at the risk of stating the obvious) QML is not. And you can't write an entire app in QML.

There's something to be said for being able to use one language for all things.
Of course, it's an industry so regulated by the government that it's very profitable for the few.
You probably weren't their target market then. Most likely it will be companies buying this for their employees, not consumers for themselves.

Whether releasing this without an upgraded consumer/prosumer level display was a good idea is another question.
This looks fantastic, congrats! Any word on whether 3rd party IDEs will be able to integrate the live-preview functionality? (AppCode user)
They absolutely do. Every permission you request has to have a valid justification and the user can only be asked when the permission is actually needed. The API allows you to specify every single permission and require them at app launch, it's the human reviewer who makes sure they're being used appropriately.

I say this as someone who has had apps denied by reviews for requesting a permission that was not needed inside of the version of the app I submitted to the store. They absolutely do review and vet apps for privacy and security.
Elm isn't FRP anymore [1], it uses some sort of process and scheduler model behind the msg system. React isn't FRP either, though you can approximate higher order FRP with Redux if you want.

What's old is new again! Mac OS became Mac OS X became OS X became macOS. iPhone OS, whatever it was called on the iPod touch and iPad OS merged to be called iOS, and now there's a new iPadOS.
Nope. Not for no reason. By mistake, for sure, and in both cases the mistake was rectified.

Weekly.gg – An email from your Esports friend, every Friday
the water system is a natural monopoly. Why would a private company with a total monopoly be any better at pricing it properly? It would be higher, but higher does not mean closer to the real price. You can go too far in the other direction. Without competition you're really going on faith that you can trust a monopoly to give you a fair price.
Pencil latency drop to 9ms is best I've seen.
When people make alternatives to React, at some point they have to address the concept of state changes and side-effects, building in conveniences for it, or leaving it for third parties to develop this area.
> The starting point for Mac Pro, the stainless steel space frame

Only apple could manage to call a bent piece of metal pipe a "space frame".

edit: getting downvoted because a "space frame" is a real thing. However, those are very specifically designed to be a "Three-dimensional truss based on the rigidity of the triangle" and this is absolutely not that. This apple co-opting an existing term for something and applying it where it doesn't make any sense.

> But let's stop them (or at least criticise them heavily) when they're doing it just to avoid any responsibility to others, when they're doing it out of an idea of "I've got mine, screw you".

From where do you get the right to "stop them" (which implies initiating or (at least escalating if you believe they have aggressed against you, which I'd love to here your rationale for that) aggression against them)? Do you believe you have a right to other people's stuff? Where do you believe rights come from?
Can you provide details? I don't see them on the product specs page.
No, they seem to be Apple-specific, as they are controlled by their T2 chip. So expect extremely expensive SSD too.
Huh, that's actually a great way to do type inference. Swift seems like an excellent language.
Hopefully this will stop people from moaning that "Apple has abandoned the pro market!"

Or probably not. They'll just redefine "pro" to meet their complaining needs.
20 million pixels; $5,000.

That begs the question. The government has no idea what price "maximizes the social benefit." The government is incentivized to set prices artificially low, not to maximize the social benefit accounting for externalities and long-term requirements.[1] For example, the government has a strong incentive to make connection charges artificially low, which lowers the price of new houses. But that also encourages sprawl--making it artificially cheap to expand into new land that isn't already part of the water/sewer grid.

[1] You see similar problems in governments determining public pension contributions. That's effectively the government setting a price required to buy into a pension system that guarantees certain benefits. Governments universally set that price too low, resulting in the public pension disaster we have today.
Can people really use all this power with the GPUs offered?

The base is a 580X. The original AMD 7870 was a great gaming card in 2012... but boy the latest attempts to keep that thing going with the 480 and 580 are really pushing it. It's still a good budget gaming card but an embarrassment to offer with a Pro computer at that price.

I love that Vega 2 can come with so much RAM, but until the world moves away from CUDA, are there a lot of uses for this? Even if I got this desktop for free I'd have to use my old Windows PC for anything using the GPU because it has nvidia.
As far as I can tell, this administration's only tactic is to announce an imminent attack on some country or company, then announce a meeting with them, then prematurely announce a "deal" followed with flattery through Trump's twitter feed.

The attacked entity denies there was any deal at first, then just shuts up, and the attack drops out of the news cycle.
It's also competing against machines such as their own iMac Pro whose base model is the $1000 cheaper and has 4x the storage and a faster GPU aside from the built in 5K monitor.

That $8000 base model Boxx workstation has 20 cores instead of 8, 50% more RAM, and twice the storage.
Under Applications now: Xcode 11 beta
Flask Apps and Open-Source Dashboards
They just need some sort of minitower, a mac mini with a couple slots, a couple m.2 connectors and room for 64GB of removable memory..

I don't know why but I've thought something like that would almost be an ideal vehicle for xeon-d type parts.
My angle is stopping folks using and recommending telegram. Where are my facts wrong?
There's at least 4 out of ~15 people in our office with one or more vertical monitors. I wouldn't buy a $6,000 monitor for it, but your standard few hundred dollar Dell office monitor pivots for a reason.
1. That's a different statement than I made
2 & 3. You are welcome to your opinion too.
That sounds super interesting! I know that there's a lot of work by Perea and Harer about topological time series analysis out there. Most of it is based on sliding windows to my understanding. I would say that the total persistence is a quantifier of the topological complexity of an object (at least when being evaluated in relation to something else; obviously, we can make it as a large as we want by just scaling our weights accordingly)...

Let's discuss this further offline if you want! Drop me an e-mail and I can rope you into my current research on this topic.
What's wrong with making a mass market Mac Pro? I mean, old Mac Pros were much more reasonably priced. It's not like inflation was that huge over recent years or computer components suddenly have much higher costs.
Yeah, at $4k I would have replaced my 2013 MP, but at $6k... nah. Not unless I hit the lottery.
These are minor details that didn't detract from her overall argument. And you seem to have figured out the issue yourself, that she only got it wrong because Neal Mohan is misrepresenting himself on his linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neal-mohan
Good to know. Thanks for the info and for writing the original post about this!
Do the trailing closures implicitly return arrays of child elements? Or what kind of syntax is that?
I'd find Bret Victor's stuff interesting at that age and maybe the coding made by jtnimoy for Tron Legacy too. Anything from Siggraph. Cool dataviz. Or I don't know. Wireshark. But the comments in here that are question/answer driven are great depending on the group of kids.
Competing on what, markup? What advantage does this hardware give for movie studios when consumer grade hardware outperforms it?
Changing the Direction of Government IT
Am I correct that TechCrunch page violates GDPR? I don't see any option to opt-out from being tracked. There is OK button and manage option link, but I can't manage anything, I can only agree for tracking...
I find it funny how worried the author is about YouTube is promoting "distrust of mainstream media". Not excusing all the crap YouTube will put in one's sidebar, but when we have mainstream outlets like Politico posting egregious and inexcusably racist hitpieces like this (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/24/bernie-sa..., also that title was changed from "Bernie Sanders might still be cheap, but he's not poor" -- I'd have never found out if it weren't for YouTube recommending me the fabulous Jimmy Dore Show who pointed this out), I don't know how you can continue to visit any website deemed mainstream anymore.
Interesting pro tip: psychological anchoring works on spouses (and even oneself) as well.
Microsoft has a PR department, and would like you to believe that, at the very least.
Check the “Applications” tab, the Xcode download is there (they redesigned the page, which makes it IMO worse). No idea if it runs on Mojave, but I would think so based on history.
Well, yeah. Most white-collar jobs are adult daycares (including my own + many others in software).
Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon facing potential regulatory scrutiny
Scale and time matters. How many of those cities have lost over 60% of their population since their peak?

The general decay in France is going to be at a much slower rate then some place like Detroit. This means that the increasing tax burden, crumbling infrastructure, and financial crisis not only are much less noticeable, but governments have more time to react and mitigate the issue.

The reason why places like Flint are impressive in their decay is because the rate of change in population is so extreme.
3D modelers want NVIDIA cards, not Radeon, as NVIDIA supports CUDA. This has been a longstanding issue with 3D folks; the old trashcan Mac Pro had NVIDIA GPUs even with otherwise-outdated internals. When rumblings came of new Mac Pros a few years ago there was excitement that they could get some fast machines again; alas this appears not to be the case.
> I dislike the forced telemetry stuff but, I hate the forced updates even more

Those two things all by themselves are more than enough to warrant avoiding the OS when at all possible.
I guess you could prop your $6000 monitor up against the wall or some milk crates or something. Are they including a power cable in the box or is that a $99 extra?
For the teams that would have gone native if it was easier/faster I imagine it does change the equation quite a bit. Makes me wonder how this changes things internally for mobile teams at Facebook as well.

For JS/web focused teams I don’t think it impacts much, just like I don’t think this impacts Ionic developers that much.
A distorted market is still a market. Considering there has never in history been a market completely free of distortion due to authority figures, I don't see the distinction you're making.
There's also Splendor, Lords of Waterdeep, Yspahan, Qwix and That's Pretty Clever.
Will they be able to release drivers with the new kext situation? They still don't even have drivers to use their newer cards in Mojave
> Barack Obama could do an interview in sweatpants and retain respect. The Queen could not do the same.

What?
It’s too early to tell, but it’s certainly very exciting.
I don’t think that the resolution was an attempt to justify the price. If that was the case, why go down in resolution from what’s available? Maybe if they were selling a 9k I would buy it.

Based off some back of the envelope math I did a while ago, I think Apple decided that 6k is the maximum usable resolution for a desktop monitor. At reasonable viewing distances you should be able to tell the difference between a 4K and 8k monitor, but you won’t be able to resolve every single detail of the 8k, hence 6k.
I am hoping that now that there's a Mac with proper PCIe slots it might make more business sense for nVidia to make drivers for macOS. Previously, there were Thunderbolt eGPUs which could allow using nVidia GPUs with (non-Hackintoshed) macOS but it may not have brought in enough sales to justify the cost of developing.
"The only way to win, is to not play".
FWIW Garner classifies this error as "stage 1" (rejected) in a recent edition, so we're still safe for a while, at least in professional writing. However, I do see this mistake more often than I see either word used correctly in non-professional Web writing, to include much work that is paid, but neither written nor edited at anything like a professional level.

Garner attributes the error—among pros, anyway—to closeness to "leery". I'd guess it's more often just bad phonemic awareness when committed by the general public, though.
