I believe that complex rules leave more room for exploitation and additionally induces legal uncertainty.

Comprehensive bureaucracy can be good but also often fails to efficiently handle problems and gives advantages to specialists.

The result can be something like this:

Isn't it a bureaucracy that provided the information about felons in the first place? Not saying that interest in information is invalid, I am just doubtful about the solution.

Do you or do you plan to add any kind of sharing/collaborative editing to notes at all? Is the plugin system versatile enough to allow e.g. syncing notes to Jekyll blog posts?
A potential concern - does this system implement forward secrecy? Is that even possible?

The threat I'm thinking of is some organisation that is able to crack the private key at some point in the future and therefore able to work out where you have been in the past.

Of course, the phone's location in the recent past is exactly what this system is designed to produce. Would it be possible to rekey the connection on a regular/opportunistic basis?
Fair enough.

> we also don’t operate in any country requiring compliance with the GDPR

You know it's nothing to do with the country you operate in but the nationalities of your customers though don't you? You could only have a presence on the moon but if you had any EU customers you'd still be bound by the GDPR AFAIK.
I think you're misunderstanding, perhaps I should have added /s. There is absolutely a lot of difference between russians and germans during wwii (thus there is symmetry breaking).
Still fits with the theme though. Luis Jiménez didn't invent a sculpture or the Mustang, but still makes the list.

Not necessarily. The main difference here is that most bridge projects are not private investments and so cost overruns are less likely to cause complete failure, but the cost overruns can still be massive:

Beautiful as it is, you're competing with Bear using the sub model, and my common sense to use buy-once native apps (like Sublime Text). This is a non-starter for me.
Interesting take. Another good reason for increasing bureaucratic complexity, especially in power structures, is so that it will serve as a tarpit for megalomaniacs. The EU is probably one of the best examples of this.
Then don’t.
i own a dell monitor. it comes with the same type of stand, having the same functionalities. and it came with the monitor.

what is so different about apple’s monitor stand that warrants $1k?

There’s no software or code so I will comment on this:

Because it does not belong to you. It belongs to other people, similar to the way your property (say, your child) belongs to you.

I would suggest the author to spend less time on recreating Communist Manifesto and more on developing liberally licensed (non-GPL) software. If his goal is freedom, that is.
The challenges of making a true Offline First app
Here, an up-vote for you good Sir.
One thing I find kind of strange about this development is that the code for doing these kind of optimizations has been around for a long time and been in serious use in industry ("Neural" PDEs (i.e. applying adjoint sensitivity analysis) are routinely used in Gas / Oil exploration) and the same is true for Jump SDEs and volatility calibration / pricing of financial assets. I guess everything old is new again, when a new set of people discovers (really) old tools.

Still I would like to thank for making these examples available aswell as for your work on DiffEq.jl
Wait, I thought people on Reddit were joking about the 1k price tag
Being a second class citizens is very different from being a nightmare. I've been able to build some fairly complex apps (TypeScript, Next.js, Relay, SQLite, Express) without running into any issues at all, and if I do hit a roadblock I know I can bail out to WSL or a VM.

The experience isn't as nice as macOS, but it's not terrible by any stretch.
Well, it is in the EU. GDPR commonly is perceived as applying to online businesses alone, which of course is wrong.

As a company you’re only allowed to ask for and record the data that’s required to conduct the business at hand. Otherwise, you have to tell your customers how their data will be used.

This of course absolutely applies to traditionally offline businesses such as recruitment agencies as well.

So is the moral of the story that everybody (or close) that doubts some consensus in physics is a misunderstood genius?

There's also 1000 times more stories of crackpots "knowing" everything, from how to do cold fusion, to perpetual machines, to why Relativity or QM is wrong, etc. They even have the diagrams and math to show you they're right.

And yes, some of them even "knew" things verified later - if you have random unsupported opinions some of those will also be legit.

Unless the parent had some actual proof for their insight before the verification, the phrase "This was always pretty clear to anyone who put some serious thought into it" (as if physicists who didn't regard this didn't) is as good as someone saying the same about a coin toss ("hey, it turned out to be heads, anyone could see that").
>That mental model of "get traffic and somehow magically make money from it without charging anything" is rooted in using ads to monetize it.

I had the opposite experience with AppleScript - the development tool (Script Editor) was simple enough for me to understand that it was the way I taught myself to program when I was 13.

(OK, I learned Logo in school when I was 7, but programming became way more interesting when I discovered AppleScript's APIs to control all the programs on my Mac).

I hope they can fix the keyboard issues...

Is the monitor actually in the same category as existing "reference" monitors that cost 5 figures?

If the answer to that is yes, then the fundamental mistake is presenting the monitor at a show watched by consumers. Because that's just a recipe for bafflement and mismatched expectations.
Theoretically it could be carried by an aerial crane heli, like a Mil V-12 (20-25T), an empty F15 being in the 15T range.
I'm sure they prefer to focus on bigger cases - why go with a single bike theft if they can investigate an organized bike theft and laundering organization? Why bother with a single phone theft if they find a warehouse full of stolen merchandise?

But yeah, that does mean a lot of petty crime goes unpunished. Stealing a bike here has become normalized - as in, "my bike got stolen, I need to get home so I'll just steal another". Mind you that's only possible with shoddy locks.
> My problem is that phones are just too slow for me to fire up and start a note

How so? Is your phone really old and slow or something?

On my iPhone X it takes two touches from the home screen to get into the notes app (first touch) and start a new note (second touch), and this takes about two seconds (I measured the time). Not counting the touches or time taken to unlock the phone and to get to the home screen but that time is short too.

> Yes, a lot of software products fail, but automation is increasingly driving capital growth and replacing labor. The p2p gig economy does cut out a lot of bureaucracy, and AI advances... both of which were hard to predict in '08.

The gig economy may cut out "a lot of bureaucracy", but it's replacing it with other forms of pointless work.

It is very expensive. But it's based on the tried-and-tested Apple pricing approach: as high as the target customer will jump. I assume Apple is trying to milk large business customers for all they're worth, it is the “pro” market after all. The $800 saving by going for the VESA mount is peanuts compared to the overall cost of a fully-configured Mac Pro setup.
Sure, that's common here as well. But with 1000s of people an hour leaving it's easy to walk in an out door.

Force feeding is ethical if someone doesn't have capacity to make the decision and doesn't have an advance directive in place.

It's likely that she did have capacity to make that decision, which is why the courts didn't intervene.
The main idea, I think is still to keep the data and representation separate, which is advantageous for accessibility, computer representability and alternate representations (text mode browsers). We're kind of halfway there but there is still a lot of layout going on in the HTML "because we can"
Whats truly odd is that it doesn’t matter whether the stand alone is worth so much — why didn’t they just add the price they wanted into the monitor itself, where price variability is less sensitive? Did they really want $5k pricetag that badly?

Instead they’ve created this ridiculous and unnecessary situation. It’s done as if they don’t actually want you to buy the stand.., but I don’t know what the alternative is? Is the mount significantly higher margins?

I have a question.

Is the $999 stand a media deflection strategy for a rather mundane WWDC or something else? https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/highlights-from-wwdc-...
The 1k stand is a real thing. The audiences in the keynote booed when they showed the price tag.
Google got skilled at large scale search, then generalized on that and went on to create a distributed big data compute engine, and asked themselves, now what can we build?

You're thinking of following those steps but in reverse.

I love it. Two thumbs up!
So much noise about the stand. This is the stand of a $5000 monitor, not just any stand.

Any random piece of plastic on a Porsche is more expensive than on a Ford. That shouldn't be the case in a perfect world, but we don't live in a perfect world.

People have complained for years that Apple is no pro enough. The Mac Pro and XDR display are so pro-level that the vast majority of the WWDC public was not the target demographic either.

Is it too expensive? Yes. Does that matter? No, it's only because it has an Apple badge that we hear about this at all, and people entitlement with Apple is just off the charts.
With the gist of the story being that "no units free" actually meaning "no units free to prioritize a burglary", or what?

An active shooting incident would certainly reshuffle the prio list...
I wonder what you mean. Of course there is symmetry between Russian and German invasions and occupations of Baltic (and other) countries. Both powers wanted to establish their spheres of influence over smaller countries, and eventually each other. They made the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact according to this plan, they had a common victory parade in Brest-Litovsk after they had together conquered Poland. Both powers liquidated their real and perceived enemies.

This doesn't mean they were entirely the same, but there is a lot of similarity.
There is a difference between "national" and "official".
This is a dumb article.

The only reason they even broke out the pricing like this is because the target audience is media production houses in Hollywood and other high budget environments where they already have their own rigs and mounts. It’s just a line item on an invoice. This monitor is competing against $25k+ reference displays. And the price is very competitive.

The only difference here is that no other company does large scale press events for products meant for such a niche professional audience.

MKBHD said it best in his video. If Apple had said “This is a $6k monitor” and then during configuration time provided a stand-less option for $1k less, then we wouldn’t see any of these dumb articles.

This is everything that is wrong with journalism today.
That's about 3cm. Pretty close ;-)

“Living Melbourne” – a bold new strategy for a greener, more liveable Melbourne
Would you say that RedHat doing almost the exact same thing[1] means they are moving away from being Unix-like as well? This is just an idea who's time has come.

You might be right about OSX and it's derivatives moving away from being so unix-like, but by itself this is just sensible housekeeping they would have to do at some point anyway. It's just not reasonable to expect them to include and maintain deprecated language runtimes indefinitely.

How to Design for the Web in 2019
Easy is relative. I've don't even know what a linked list is, much less able the implement one and I've been programming for 10 years.
When I was about 17, one evening a friend from school with suspected borderline personality disorder called me and told me that she had "taken some pills, a lot of pills". I immediately went over to her house since it was in the neighborhood. She had already induced vomitting, but said that she was beginning to feel dizzy. Under the circumstances, we called an ambulance. Calling help was actually the scariest thing about the whole ordeal, because she suspected (I believe rightly so) that once you get caught in The System, you can get trapped in it for good. I remember feeling guilty about calling the ambulance, but it seemed too risky to not do it.
In the hospital, it initially looked like our fears were confirmed. Treatment by the staff was horrid. However, after youth services interviewed my friend, she was let go, mainly because she was almost of legal age and because she affirmed many times that she regretted the suicide attempt. She ended up moving in with us for a few months, to get away from home and to sort everything out. It worked. As far as I know (we lost touch after school) she went on to live a full and 'normal' life.

There is no question in my mind that it would have turned out very differently if she had been just one year younger at the time. She would have gotten trapped in The System, no doubt exacerbating her suicidal feelings, both because the people in charge of 'protecting' these kids don't seem to be particularly kid-friendly, and because she was prone to clashing with authority figures (who, it goes without saying, tend to be petty and capricious). On more than one occasion my friend was told that she had engaged in an "illegal act" for attempting suicide - that's not helpful to say the least.

I have to admit though that I'm having trouble accepting suicidal ideation, especially in minors, without at least exploring treatment options. We as a society have an obligation to not make suffering worse, and we often seem to fail this basic test.
>This is the most aggressively anti-human thing I have ever seen, possibly even more than ISIS or cartel executions, because at least the perpetrators of those atrocities know that they are doing evil, even if they're unrepentant, which is more than can be said of the doctors in this situation.

I feel the same about people lobbying against assisted suicide. I have no other word for people who willfully condemn people to literal torture then simply monsters. I dont see a meaningful distinction to some psychopath predator in the absolute detachment from other peoples suffering. Forcing terminal people to live for a few more month or even years enduring absolute agony is just wrong. There are no two sides to this or ways to look at it. They are getting tortured because you think they should be tortured. Your motivation and intention doesnt mean anything, this is the naked result, there is no reason to sugarcoat it.

You are not other people. I am glad it worked out for you, but the arrogance to think that you know and should decide what others should endure is mind boggling to me.
Wow, Thomas Midgley, Jr. died from his own Heath Robinson contraption for lifting him out of bed but not before he put lead into petrol and created CFCs. Should have done those the other way around and saved us all a whole lot of grief.
People keep saying this: Is this monitor actually competitive with $25k+ reference monitors? Because the specs seem to indicate "no" to me, but I'm not a professional user so can't judge what's important.

Also, to be able to use your own mount you still need the $200 VESA mount.
Oh...oh...the numbering is 1 based. O_o
As Linus from LinusTechTips pointed out, if they had just bundled the whole thing for 6k with an option to buy the monitor alone for 5k (thus "saving" 1k) people would probably be less angry.

I don't really see the point of getting angry however: for once Apple is trying to charge 1k$ extra for a thing that you don't really need and that you can easily and happily live without.

Just use a compatible one that you can get for like $100 or less off Amazon.

As for me I'm just using sublime text with a bunch of plugins and Markor on my phone. Resilio to sync between the devices.
If anything, the $200 VESA mount you absolutely need is more egregious.
There's no compatible one unless you buy a $200 vesa mount though.

That doesn't really contradict anything above. It still remains true that if they were planning on removing ability to run unapproved applications from OSX, the first step would be to take out the ability to do that which is installed by default. Restricting what App Store applications can do would come later (and be controlled by policy rather than technical limitations).

I think it's a misrepresented discount. Like, most pros have VESA mounts already. So they discount the monitor... So you don't have to pay for it if you don't need it.

But the message about that reason is not there and therefore it sounds like nickel and diming.

Instead we should consider it as:

$6000 for the monitor with stand OR
$5200 for the monitor with VESA mount
