The EPA is a political office, run by a political appointee, so there will always be a political bias in what they choose to emphasize, and that's all that happened. Nothing was removed from public access, just moved from featured on the home page. If one admin put carbon tax on the home page, and the next replaced it with solar panels, is that suppressing the carbon tax?

The document you reference simply strikes out a single reference to there being a causal relationship between climate change and specific extreme weather events. The document is all about climate change, so it seems like a minor and likely accurate correction.

This is an interesting, and relatively fair, article. There are two big issues with it's reasoning though.

First, chrome isn't yet close to IEs peak dominance. Ie peaked at over 90% market share.

Second, DRM isn't necessary for watching video, it's needed for watching certain liscenced video. In practice, this means Netflix and streamed televison. You can still watch YouTube just fine, minus YouTube red originals, without widevine. Is a browser that keeps you off Netflix so bad for google?
The Linux desktop's last, best shot
Very sad day. In the first moments, I thought everyones wishes had come true, and they bring back the old style Mac Pro back, with a redesigned housing. But the old Mac Pro had started around 2-3k, so while never cheap, not out of reach of an enthusiast user. While the specs of the new Mac Pro are certainly impressive, the price is just out of the range of all private and most professional users. Not sure why Apple refuses to sell a machine which just allows to put in a normal desktop graphics card.

Also: they are selling a "Pro" desktop Mac without real mass storage? Just 4T of SSD? (Of course only available at Apple prices). The old Mac Pro had a lot of storage slots, both for 3.5 and 5.25 inch drives, but the new one couln't house at least a couple of 2.5 inch slots as well as NVMe slots?

I've never seen one of these gizmos before. It's new and interesting to me. It's got three RJ45 ports! That's weird! Sure, it's not as interesting as if the guy had found a government forensic tool at the thrift store, but it's still interesting.

Let people enjoy things.
That was one of the central theses of David Graeber's famous "bullshit jobs" essay, which is now a book (haven't read yet.) Keynes et al. predicted declining work hours. Graeber says not only do most people barely work during their 40 hours, many entire jobs or entire departments are basically... well, bullshit.
You sho bout dat?

[1] regarding remote: our Irish engineering base is in Shannon, we're always open to remote candidates but for these positions we're restricted in hiring within Ireland sorry.
The article doesn't specifically say how much time water spends in pipes, (Minutes? Weeks? Months?) but the linked paper does:

>A utility in North Carolina serving 300,000 customers with 1,100 miles of main calculated water ages ranging from 2 to 75 hours throughout the distribution system using a fluoride tracer study (DiGiano, Travaglia and Zhang 2000).

> A Midwest utility with a service population of 800,000 and 2,750 miles of main recently found based on a hydraulic model that the water age in the distribution system was typically less than 80 hours while several sites exhibited a water age up to 150 hours (Vandermeyden and Hartman 2001).

> One California utility found water ages exceeding 400 hours in certain areas of the system, particularly dead end areas, under minimum day and average day demand conditions (Acker and Kraska 2001).

> A Canadian utility serving 24,000 people with 86 miles of main estimated water age using a hydraulic model and found that dead-end nodes had a water age ranging from 300 to 600 hours under average day demand conditions (Prentice 2001).

"How long is too long?" It depends, apparently, on what the pipes are made of, how old they are, how corrosive the water is, (Which is what caused the Flint disaster) etc.
When did iOS start forcing upgrades? I have phones/iPads on iOS 5,6,9 and 11, and they don’t force anything (I don’t use them daily, only to check some things - but I do turn them on for a day every couple of months)
Part of that comparison (on the "before" side) was a bunch of Cocoa autolayout code. It's verbose and annoying, only mitigated if you're using Interface Builder, which has its own significant downsides. If the declarative form in SwiftUI supports a saner approach to managing and adjusting layout, then there's absolutely nothing overdramatic about that comparision. It's a potential game changer.
Looks very similar to Anko (a Kotlin Android UI DSL). Awesome work, can't wait to try it out.
So, the privacy draw is just another gimmick to them, and not a supposed part of their DNA?
Well it's better than the trashcan....but still not as good as the original alumINium box.
Does this support stylesheet based styling?
Yeah, I have the same concern. This is great for those situations where declarative works but sometimes you really want to get low-level and do some custom stuff with imperative code. I suppose we can use the old frameworks for that?
I have 2560x1600 (no longer made) at home and 3840x1600 at the office and they're great.

They use them for billing, Medical Billing is incredibly broken so most companies outsource it.
Nukes have been used in anger only twice in history and it wasn't over a declaration of independence. They're really not very useful as an offensive weapon.

If (say) Tibet declared independence, there is absolutely no chance that China would nuke it. They would simply send in a whole lot of tanks and people with guns.
MacOS is what keeps me on Apple for now, but this box is not the answer everyone is looking for.

People just want an affordable desktop that you can easily expand over time. At $6000 just for the starting model, in my head I'm already planning to move back to Windows. The only major thing I might miss is iCloud. The cheese grater lineup is still the best incarnation of the Mac Pro overall.

People don't want to be forced to buy an integrated screen, nor do they want a headless laptop, and not everyone can live with a laptop alone. In other words, I don't want a semi-powerful machine trapped in amber or a larger version of an iPhone / iPad.

I just have to figure out a good replacement for iCloud and its related apps.
That just looks like plain old "It's the Russians!"

At this point the meme has become old and boring.
> Frankly, I trust MS a LOT more than I do Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook or Twitter.

As a dev, maybe. As a normal user, I don't think there's a significant difference.
The new Mac Pro, like Mac Pros always have been, is for music/TV studios and design agencies that bill their time starting at $500/hour. It's really not for individuals, and that's ok. Apple made a computer "just for the pros", like HN begs for in every butterfly keyboard thread. I'm thrilled about it even though I know I'll never touch one. It's for people who don't know what a CPU core is but know how to produce a platinum album, get an Oscar nomination, or bring a revolutionary industrial design to market. This is really something where the price is superfluous. I personally wish it was higher so that was more obvious.
Apple also lets you do this with your Me/iCloud address as well.

As a non-native speaker I'm afraid that some day I'll need a dictionary of homophones to decode written English.
The first step up from 256GB is 2x512GB, and there's configurations up to 2x2TB. My guess is that the 256GB configuration is meant for users that work primarily with data that's kept on network storage.
The US Govt wants to federalize this, think about how much worse it could've been.
There's a moral hazard there though - if we're housing homeless for free, then why buy/rent a house, when you can just declare yourself homeless and live in one for free?
This reminds me Visual Studio back in 2001 when I discovered programming. Everything was so easy to prototype. I'm so happy to see Apple is taking this direction. Thank you guys!
Not to say there aren't things they could probably be investigated for, but in the cases of search, cloud computing, and mobile Microsoft has actually been the 'underdog' competitor. They successfully gained inroads to cloud computing thanks to Azure, but Bing has never had the search market share of Google, and mobile offerings were never Android or iOS. Microsoft as the 'victim' of anti-competitive behavior would have been inconceivable 20 years ago, but technology changes that quickly and if you miss the boat you can find yourself in a very tricky spot.
256g of SSD would be appropriate under the conditions that a) this is a very basic and affordable configuration, so less than 3k and b) the machine would be user-expandable with NVMe drives or similar. Then you would get the minimal SSD just good enough to install the OS and put in third party storage to save money. And of course, you would want to be able to put in more than 4T of storage.
The 4k appears to be in stock, but the 5k is not. There have been rumors for quite some time about Apple replacing them because they have been in short supply.
Banning speech just drives it underground where it can’t be challenged.
Under another administration (either Democratic or Republican) it might be reasonable to accept this explanation. The problem with this administration is that "assume this decision is being made by career employees acting with no political self-interest" has not proven to be a good betting position.
Considering what you can get for $3k a year from a non-Apple builder, I think it is out of line, unless you _really_ need Mac OS.

Puget Systems for example sells purpose-built systems optimized for a particular application. A 3D design and animation workstation goes for ~$3k: https://www.pugetsystems.com/recommended/Recommended-Systems...
For developers, there's another constraint in investing in the Mac Pro: the increasingly high likelihood Apple will move to ARM:

> Mac Pro + display coming in at $11,000 a year or so before a switch to ARM is a hard nope from me. It's a little freeing, so I can now actually get a Mac mini

https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/11356329822896537...
This is in the context of Apple increasing its prices to ludicrous levels across its product lines though (look at the iPhones!). I'm sure it's great for short-term profitability, but I think they'll come to regret this.
I just have to point out this little page of caveats: https://support.stripe.com/questions/payments-that-qualify-f...

Biggest thing for our company: "The payment must be submitted to Stripe by your customer via Stripe Checkout. This means that recurring charges are not eligible for Chargeback Protection"

Meaning this does not protect our B2C subscription company from any recurring charges which is a huge percentage of our charges if not all of them.

Also: "The dispute must be one of the following types of reason codes (as identified by the relevant Card Network) listed in Appendix 1 of the Terms of Service:
Visa: 10.4 Other Fraud - Card Absent Environment
Mastercard: 4837 No Cardholder Authorization
Mastercard: 4840 Fraudulent Processing of Transactions
Discover, Diners Club, JCB: UA01 Fraud Card Not Present Transaction
American Express: FR2 Fraud Full Recourse Program
American Express: FR4 Fraud Full Recourse Agreement
American Express: F29 Fraudulent Transaction - Card Not Present
American Express: 4534 Multiple Records of Charge (ROCs); Card Member denies participation in Charge
American Express: 4540 Card Not Present; Card Member denies participation in Charge"

Many of our chargebacks fall outside of these chargeback reasons so it would likely not be worth it for us to use this feature, as I'm sure is the case for many other subscription based companies.
That's a lot if pointless FUD.
Yeah, last time I heard about FoundationDB was when it was open-sourced a year ago. The response here on HN [0] seemed quite good.

I'm curious what happened to make people feel left "hanging dry"? Guessing it's how the DBaaS was shut down.

Only Apple could get shat on for using appropriate but obscure terminology.
There is a significant difference between water pipes and the pension system, which is that water pipes are easily affordable by the federal government and pensions for everyone are not. Getting the pricing "right" is a stupid game; people need water and are willing to pay the current rates, and the federal government can afford to fund necessary improvements to infrastructure. What exactly is the benefit of getting pricing "right" here? Avoiding water wastage? Environmental benefits? I'd wager that a group of environmental scientists could find a "correct" price that addresses these concerns much more accurately than could market forces.

(Actually, I see no reason why market forces would get the price "right" here, but even if they did it misses the point--there is no reason to allocate water to people based on how much money they can pay for it. If you cared about this sort of thing a rationing system would make much more sense. The idea that the infrastructure has to be funded directly and primarily by water usage is just baffling to me, especially when--as numerous commentators have already pointed out--it doesn't really work that way in a lot of cities).
> But the amount of dismissal I read here is frustrating given the amount of earnest effort I see engineers putting into getting things right.

The problem with Microsoft is not, and never has been, due to the engineers, and the engineers aren't the ones who can fix them.

This is about the corporation itself, and I really haven't seen a great deal change in corporate behavior aside from the rhetoric.
It's pretty much all the paid media on the internet. Spotify, Hulu, netflix, cable providers, amazon, etc.

I guess if you literally only watch free YouTube videos it's not a problem? Totally not an anti-trust issue...
It says in the article that it's a 'unique, random address', so I don't know where you're getting the 'combination of the user's appleid and the target app/website' from. The purpose of the service is the same as other temporary email services, to anonymize signing up for services by providing a fake email.
So what if in the future apple decides they dont want to allow your website to use it anymore (because e.g. it violates their UX guidelines)?
How many more decades of such data breaches is it going to take for organizations to start realizing that SSN's are not a good way to authenticate or identify people (a purpose they were never meant for), and that most people's SSN's have already been compromised?
>Each of our ministries now has a team that is charged to say if we detect that there is a disinformation campaign going on, but before it reaches the masses, they're in charge to make within 60 minutes an equally or more convincing narrative.

why wait? In many situations/events it is very predictable what fake news and disinformation will appear in say the next hours, so it is possible to do totally preventive Truth "injections" well before the disinformation appears (sometimes even before the originating situation/event happens itself).

One of the most important aspects in fake news and disinformation spread is the receptivity of the given populace to the fake news and information. That receptivity is based on many factors, like education, prejudices, economic and social situation, etc. For example, by systematically performing daily "ground Truth" disinformation "vaccinations" government can work on decreasing the prejudices and thus decreasing the disinformation receptivity of the populace.
I'm hoping for this. If you have little kids in your house you cannot safely use the iPad Mail client, for example
> My first thought was: Bye bye mailinator.com

Mailinator can be pretty hard to use, since so many sites can detect the addresses and block their use.

I've pretty much given up on it, and use Fastmail's very easy aliasing features with my domain. It's not quite as private, but it's a lot more reliable.
I think it’s reasonable to expect at the very least 5 years of support. It would be very un-nice if it weren’t supported.

my code is almost always taller than it is wide, so a vertical monitor lets me see more at once. I try to avoid having a dozen levels of indentation because IMO it hurts legibility regardless of monitor orientation. Also handy for terminal output and documentation.
Imagine how you would feel if people weren't buying your bicycles because the water company was charging inflated prices for water and giving away free bicycles.

Incidentally, the fact that Amazon can choose to set the price for 'free, fast delivery of packages' so high that they can slide a video streaming system in there for 'free', is one of the signs of monopoly power, and bundling as a way to push into unrelated industries is a well accepted example of monopoly power abuse.

> But isn't that the exact opposite of a monopoly? They are creating more competition in another space that is difficult to enter.

The key is that they're using their monopoly power dominance of one industry to gain advantage in an unrelated industry.
Well, if the baseline for the Pro market was made up of people who could afford the last version, then one can make the argument that Apple is the one that has redefined "Pro".
The pricing on this is more insane than Mac ever has been... Holding out for a Zen 2 16-core or Threadripper myself, and will almost certainly be jumping to Linux for good this time around.
But I did say far less bright with far lower contrast ratio, which matters more for the audience they targeted in the keynote.
Blizzard released a lot of games for macOS. Also I played Rimworld, Factorio recently and those games seems to have Mac version as well. I'm not very involved gamer, I just play sometimes and it seems that Mac supports almost all games I need.
Oddly they were never a DBaaS though...
What will happen is like what happens in Florida with schools. People retire here from other states then complain/refuse/lobby/vote/etc about taxes going to schools. They say they're retired and they've already paid for schools in their previous state and their kids are grown and they should not have to pay.
Does the second screen act as a second monitor or as a mirror?
I'm assuming that he means the companies would be ordered by the force of court rulings and the law to supply the third parties equally and without prejudice.

A similar thing has happened in the UK with telecoms. The monopoly supplier of the phone network is gradually being split into a company which owns the wires in the ground but cannot offer services, and competing companies that rent the wires to provide services, the rental being at an open, non-discriminatory price. At least to some degree it works well (although the regulator needs a lot more teeth).
Emails from companies already have a unsubscribe button. So if I unsubscribe they shouldn't send me emails. That is not changing with the new Apple Sign In feature. Emails will still have the unsubscribe feature. The only reason for devs to push for a real email is to sell it to advertisers. They are not deleting the email once I unsubscribe. So giving them an ankoymized email is good. I hope this succeeds.
was expecting to see a "april fools" banner to pop out any second during the segment (for the look, not the specs which seem quite interesting though (very) pricey)
