I can vouch for the ahole thing. The German autobahn brings out the worst in people. Road rage is a thing and you'll see plenty of of people putting themselves and others at risk by basically doing all the things this article points out you shouldn't be doing like passing on the right, driving close behind your bumper (while flashing lights), etc. Idiots are of course a thing in any country but the increased speeds just makes things a lot more noticeable.

While most German drivers are very disciplined, not all of them are and there are plenty of irresponsible people treating the autobahn as their personal racing circuit. Also, not all drivers are actually German or necessarily that experienced driving very fast. The combination of idiots and fast cars is kind of predictably bad. Accidents at high speeds tend to be fatal.

Despite this, it's not as dangerous as you might think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r.... Germany is doing better than e.g. the US or my home country (Netherlands). The reason is very simply that people on the autobahn tend to pay attention to what's happening. Situational awareness is not optional and paying attention becomes second nature quickly. If you've ever been overtaken by someone in a Porsche flooring the pedal, you'll think twice before moving in the left lane or outstaying your welcome there.

Even though I'm Dutch, most of my driving experience is in France, Spain and Portugal. I've never actually owned a car and typically only drive on vacation (rentals). For me, Spain is by far the most relaxed country to drive around in Europe. Roads are good, people seem to mostly behave these days (they've gotten more strict over the past 20 years), and there are lots of interesting places to drive to and beautiful scenery to enjoy. I've driven tens out thousands of km in that country over the years.

By comparison, the German autobahns are not in great shape. Like in the US federal funding for maintenance is not great. They're in a state of perpetual maintenance and you can't drive very far without encountering extensive road works. Being overtaken by traffic going twice your speed when you are basically flooring the pedal on your cheap rental is like crossing a highway on foot: very stressful. If you are renting a car in Germany, get an upgrade to something half decent. I once drove a rental Fiat panda that struggled to do 120 km/h on the autobahn and I don't recommend that. It's possible but you are basically going to be hugging the right lane and getting stuck behind slow trucks waiting for gaps in much faster traffic allowing you to overtake them. Merging left without the ability to accelerate quickly is stressful.
This sounds to me like moving the goalpost.

First it was both:

> Trying to sell something to privacy obsessed tech segment is a futile effort. They are never happy and don’t want to pay for anything anyway. But that is not their target market anyway.

Now just

> But that is not their target market anyway.
> They also represent the first acknowledgments from carmakers that they’re turning to Tesla for help to comply with intensifying U.S. environmental regulations.

I don't know how you manage to spin the article the opposite way. If anything is bailing out Tesla, it's the US govt providing the credits, not car manufacturers.

>But blow $6K on a monitor when $2K will do? Nah, you need a multi-million dollar exit for that kind of diamond-crusted iPhone silliness.

Err, I know a few people making $200K and up, routinely spending similar money for BS like Leica cameras + lenses (and they're not pro photographers), or hi-fi amplifiers. Not to mention furniture and fine art.

There are mid-of-the-market headphones people buy that are $500k -- and those are not even considered expensive.

6K for a great monitor, which could even be the last one you'll ever need to buy is a bargain compared.
We got several, too. What I like about them is the really good quality, including watermark and other anti-counterfeiting features. It's a nice souvenir, relatively cheap and doesn't take up much space in your luggage.
In my experience with SBCs (I have a lot of rpi B: 1, 2, 3, 3+), the rpi is the least reliable.

It has a strong tendency to corrupt the SD card (most users who are aware of that will have root on USB), and is extremely picky with power supplies.

To the point I believe it actually expects the voltage to be equal or higher to 5V no matter the load.

Raspberry pi have given me nothing more than nightmares, be them my devices or my acquaintances'.

My other SBCs (cubieboard, pine64) have, in contrast, made me happier.

When asked these days, I tend to suggest rock64, as it's priced similarly as the rpi but offers much higher specs and reliability.
Probably gets them some leverage for cheap takeover when Tesla collapses.
Friendship Paradox
Was that a sarcasm or you meant "Linux Desktop apps" when using the word "Linux"? There are so many awesome things coming to Linux kernel almost every month.
Linux desktop is problematic though. Hardcore developers stick to their terminal based development tools, tiling window managers, etc., so they do not really focus on consumer GUI apps that much.
I use Windows, MacOS and Linux daily and I still prefer Linux desktop.
I am stuck in the same situation. I am using my Mac for development and photo processing. Currently I am using a late 2015 5k iMac. The screen is beautiful, I wouldn't mind a somewhat larger screen though. From that sense, the new 6k screen has the perfect size. The big problems I have with my current iMac are:

- disk space, I need more disk space and have no good solution for that

- I would like to have a real graphics card, StarCraft even struggles in 1920x1080 resolution.

Even the iMac Pro doesn't really solve either of that, at already a too high price. I would have been willing to spend like 6k on a basic Mac Pro with a display, which wouldn't sound impossible considering that in older times the Mac Pro started well below 3k, but the new one is in an entirely different league. I am not sure why Apple thinks that "Pro" users are a synonym for video makers. There are photographers, there are software developers and many more.
I thought this was Mark Sibly's Monkey language.

When you enter the country you get a stamp with your entry date.

Doesn't this get checked when you leave, at passport control?

I would think at the very least it would raise a huge red flag the next time you try to enter US...

I also doubt that any serious employer would hire someone without checking his/her paperwork, outside maybe of seasonal/server jobs.

This is exactly how we use Excel where I work (a large multinational contact-center provider). Data is stored in SQL Server and then consumed in Excel in several ways:

- Direct query from Excel to SQL Server (This is fast, reliable but users need to know SQL)

- Cube pivot or formulas to SQL Server Analysis Services (Lower user skills needed, but depends on IT/Dev to setup correct measures and processes in Analysis Services)

- Using MS Access as an intermediary between Excel and SQL Server (Using MS Access in the middle is a great way to allow people that don't know SQL to build some simple joins. Comes at the cost of query performance though.)

- Using MS Power BI to connect to SQL Server data (this is in its early days at my company, but is proving to be a great solution for historical reports, where Excel usually shows its limitations)
Is there any papers/details on how it actually works?

I use Spotify, FreeAgent, Toggl, Zoom, Pipedrive, Asana and Trello (plus Basecamp previously) on my iOS devices - and pay for all of those through the respective websites without any option to pay in the App Store.

(Edit: I know Spotify used to have an option for it but they dropped that and I never used it anyway)
So what happens when you need to update the control plane for configs? Do you add another layer?
It doesn’t force you, but if you don’t, you can’t even tell people how to subscribe. See Spotify, Kindle.
I must be missing something here. Assuming on a napkin that all users roughly generate the same amount of revenue, losing 10% of them will lose you 10% of your profit, no?

If anything, users of really old iPhones are likely to be less spendy so you're losing less than 10%.
Technical Writing and DITA
Spotify has been somewhat deceptive when talking about the APIs they've been given before, so I'm not particularly hopeful.
Its a very fascinating legal concept, through I very much doubt the french law function like that.

It would be very interesting if we defined the concept of parents as being the adults with closest social link with the child. The idea of child support as being something imposed would then go away, as child support is generally only contested in the case when the adult have no social link with the child and thus no involvement beyond paying the bill.

It would also make same-sex relations identical to other relations as the law would not care about which adults have closest social link with the child. Marriage vs Cohabitation would also be a area which the law could ignore, and the concept of society taking care of children in need would become natural as there will always be two adults that is the closest social link, even if some of those are paid by the state.
Not sure, but they give examples of training machine learning models in the background when connected to power, so it's quite likely.

Refresh rate isn't latency. Though you are right that you do have to wait for the screen to redraw.

There is screen latency as a completely separate number though, and those would add up. Many lcd monitors can have up to a 20ms latency. And those numbers would add up like you suggest. It's why gaming monitors can charge a bunch for their 1ms latency at 60hz.

It is also possible to have 120hz and 20ms latency. The numbers are not related.

I don't know what the iPads screen latency is.
I was replying to a comment about negative comments here and that they are not who apple is targeting so the negativity here is just noise.

Those listed companies exist in an entirely different universe to apple and talking about them is entirely irrelevant here. Their existence proves nothing.
Apple makes good products, but they build closed ecosystem for premium price.

So, I not use they products, maximum run macOS in VM sometimes.

And if will be forced to use a smartphone (maps in new city for example), it will be iPhone, 'cause I prefer privacy vs "open source with spy" by Google.
If you're not paying them, they need to pay for you to use their services. And to do that, they will want to make their money back on that.

It is a good thing that they're not giving their services away for free; they're putting their money where their mouth is. If you look at all the companies that give their stuff away for free, they do it to collect data for advertising, and they make money from advertising, in most cases (unless they're using investor money to fund you).

Apple is not an advertising company, and I do not see any problem in them using this to draw in customers. It is a major selling point for Apple that they respect your privacy. They do a lot of their ML stuff on-device to preserve your privacy, they encrypt your data on their servers or anonymise it whenever possible, they do a lot to prevent apps from tracking you like limiting location access and other data, etc.
Europe's population is double what the US is...
Just listen to yourself! In a few words you said that the $40.000 pro monitor that Apple used as reference in their comparison is a marketing gimmick for consumers while this Apple LED is what pro users actually need. You know that Sony offered LEDs before the upgrade to OLED, right?

How is this 6K display better for 8K content than Dell's 8K monitor? You know you can get HDR on plenty of 4K displays, right?

It's a LED, has HDR but lower resolution than Dell's flagship. To sum it up it's just a an overpriced LED with different trade-offs. Sony is really in a different league. Apple used it just to justify its non-8K overpriced LED.
In my opinion, a paper should describe the contribution in sufficient detail that it can be implemented by someone with similar expertise. I believe that would foster greater innovation as people would necessarily have greater familiarity with all of the details, and they would better see why the thing works or doesn't.
It really comes down to personal views, and as anything it can be very complicated very fast. That's in my opinion the very reason divorce go through trial, as everyone has a different opinion on what the question is.

For instance if you raised a kid for 15 years, divorce for unrelated reasons (ex: repetitive adultery), but take the opportunity to have paternity checked, are you less of a parent of this kid than his biological father ? I'd suppose there's a variety of answers depending on each one's walk of life.

I had trouble updating iTunes once because my shell was set to zsh, and it took me quite a while to debug what went wrong. I recommend that when this switchover occurs, users should temporarily switch to bash if they encounter an installer that does not work.
Is worth knowing that Orwell was standing in the shadow of Zamyatin's novel 'We' (A man so revolutionary, he managed to be exiled by both the Tsars and by Stalin), when he wrote '1984'.

http://orwell.ru/people/zamyatin/zei_en

It is in many ways a much better book, and worth reading for many reasons, one of the best of them being that Stalin banned it upon publication, the ban not being lifted till 1988.

from wikipedia on human rights:

> The onset of the Cold War soon after the UDHR was conceived brought to the fore divisions over the inclusion of both economic and social rights and civil and political rights in the declaration. Capitalist states tended to place strong emphasis on civil and political rights (such as freedom of association and expression), and were reluctant to include economic and social rights (such as the right to work and the right to join a union). Socialist states placed much greater importance on economic and social rights and argued strongly for their inclusion.
They're sunk costs now though. How much more needs to be added to Mobile OSes? Can't they just innovate functionality though installed apps?

I "solved" this by having a separate emacs instance where I'd do mail and usenet.

So far, Gnus is still the best mail client in a terminal (that you can have the same instance in a tty and a X11 environment is just a bonus).

Aerc looks interesting but then there's the ugly truth that I do much less mail than I used to do 10 years ago. So I probably won't switch even if it's looking really sexy.
Sending invoices, GDPR exports, validating that a user contacting you is a certain account, etc.
I will say that every time I’ve seen an outage triggered by a config push, there have been several other bugs involved at the same time. Software / code is still a problem, I wouldn't consider it solved, it’s just that the bugs will turn into outages during config changes.
Are you sure that you’re interpreting the guidelines correctly? Lots of apps serve content related to subscriptions/digital purchases that are signed up for on the web (Netflix, Prime Video, etc.). Or are you trying to use the app as an acquisition channel?
Other peoples concerns are not "noise" in any other than a derogative way and listing companies that refute a substantial part of your comment under your comment is not "entirely irrelevant".

edit (for clarity): Saying that Apples mass-market approach spares them from catering to privacy concerned, somewhat still niche interests would've been a completely valid comment.

The message would not have needed the false part.

> And to think music studios need so much horsepower when "Sgt. Pepper's" was recorded on 4 tracks…

The original idea is to let the idea flow. Given the greatness of freedom, Democrat and human rights they would ... not in real life. Even down to have top scientists who do human baby experiment.

May be if one can go two ways at least both can learn the good and bad in both cultures. But no. Like one dudes trade it is free trade to the world but how many can research freely in china.

Good luck. Finally wake up. It is sad that the dream of good coin can drive out bad coin not working. Instead the coin just come, and still bad coin.

Still wonder why Soviet Union or Russia is not allowed by and large do that. But china can. It is a wonder of the 20th century - only found out in the 21st.

That is pretty obvious, but every modern email client is able to deal with text wrapping itself. The only effect of the 80-char limit today is that of butchering your emails, especially on mobile. Since format=flowed is not supported enough, the only solution here is HTML.

This message is a big lie... there were many cases, where police got the data about "what happened on your iPhone"... How can they say such untruth? Can one sue for such untruth in marketing in US?
Not just maybe. It says quite clearly that the network was overloaded and, as a result, their configuration changes took too long to arrive at the affected components.
On the contrary, I don't see anything interesting there. Apple Music, TV and Podcasts coming bundled with the OS? Meh, could be put into App Store, for older macOS releases too.

Marginally interesting are updates to Reminder and Notes. The separate volume for the system is interesting, but there's nothing else.

On the contrary, Linux does come with interesting things, but they trickle down continuously in smaller doses, there's no once-in-a-year bombastic conference where they are introduced all at once, so the optics is different.
