Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one.

On a serious note, problem seems to be extremely long product cycles for Apple Hardware products with "my way or highway attitude" from Apple.

These 2 make for a disaster recipe. Putting form before function is a fallacy which is bound to boomerang sooner or later.

E.g The monitor stand fiasco speaks volumes of either a disconnect or ridicule raised by wrong audience.

The latest MacBook pro is a bad and good design both depending on audience.

Last Mac Pro was laughably form before function for a fortune.
> You need Prime to get the 5%. Prime costs $119/year.

There are loopholes to this that make Prime much cheaper though.

For example, Prime Student [1] is $6.49/month or $59/year.

The EBT subsidized Prime membership mentioned elsewhere in the thread is $5.99/month (no annual discount).

You can also use Amazon Household [3] on an existing Prime membership to qualify multiple people in the household as Prime members. All members get the 5% benefit, not just the card holder. I doubt this stacks on the student version but it definitely does on vanilla Prime and likely on the subsidized version as well.

C/f this vindictive attitude with how the Norwegians have treated Brivik. He has been gently and humanly turned into a joke when he could have been a martyr...
This particular form of suit may be difficult in the U.S, owing to a somewhat different set of tradeoffs. It might be simple commercial fraud, if you could prove that they had misrepresented their certainty that their pool contained patents which they reasonably believed to be essential to implementing an AV1/VP9 encoder/decoder; though I think it may be very very hard to prove something like that.
This article pushes the idea that this is not just for people planing to leave soon but for anyone who wants to live the luxury life which is just ridiculous. Also megacorps have been pushing for this as well, for example the trend to pay a huge monthly fee for your phone and plan which forces you to essentially buy a new phone every 2 years.

You're assuming that "take on debt" means literally taking on debt that you don't pay back quickly. Building credit doesn't require actually going into debt; you just need to have a credit limit available to you, that you don't abuse. Absolutely nobody "_has to_ take on debt for the sole purpose of building a credit score", as you put it. Someone building credit should only use credit that they can pay off immediately. You don't "go into debt"; rather, you funnel/proxy money you already have through a creditor.

Building credit means you could put yourself thousands of dollars in debt... but you don't. 90% of building credit is demonstrating restraint NOT to use credit dangled in front of you. In the rare instance where you take advantage of the ability to use more credit than usual, you pay it off within a reasonable amount of time. The credit industry is predatory, to be sure. But that's only for the idiots who believe they're "able to" or "expected to" use all the credit afforded to them. It's about seeing all that possible "green" in front of you and NOT using it, or using it sparingly and responsibly.

>> Some of us would prefer not to utilize debt at all

So don't. Build your credit by buying groceries on a credit card, and paying it off every month. You're not really going into debt; you're just postponing paying your groceries by a week or two. You can build a near-perfect credit score without ever paying a single cent of interest.

I am not going to speak for the OP, but the way I would read it is, don't keep centralized pot of gold,aka centralized servers, don't do dumb lazy things aka plain text passwords, etc, don't collect all that extra data, store data with good encryption,don't trade short term convenience for long term harm ,
FWIW, my personal view is that we should keep pushing for both , less data and more security for the little data we allow our governments or private companies to collect
I like this comparison, because one of Christopher Alexander's requirements for patterns is that you can draw a picture of them. And what is category theory but diagrams!
They can calculate how long rented equipment lasts, and at least for electric scooters, the time they last is pretty short. 28.8 days and 92 trips.

Skepticism is the application of the null hypothesis. Building from nothing other than observables we can establish a system of order where in testable statements can be made to assert logical arguments to establish a set a first order principles via a criteria on true or false evaluations. This is the foundation of science and mathematics. To state:

>Skepticism requires an unlimited amount of work for verifying a chain of evidence

Is an equivocation that any statement that is attempted via conjecture and criticism is impossible. However, you are using a machine built entirely on those principles to communicate the idea that logical foundations are impossible. Congrats. You have won today's irony top score.
A newspaper not publishing political cartoons is not a free speech issue. If the government were banning political cartoons, then it would be. A newspaper can print or not print whatever it wants.

Why is not only the conservative, but even the liberal media so strongly anti-tech? Google, Facebook, and the majority of other tech firms are extraordinarily liberal, far beyond the normal California bias. And not only are their executives and employees overwhelmingly liberal, the companies often act on those beliefs (by supporting various political causes, creating a certain liberal emphasis in their educational tools, etc).

Or, put another way, how did the tech firms manage to become enemies with the liberals despite being on their side in the political battle?

Exercise in the evenings definitely amps me up and makes things worse, but in the mornings I often end up with a "OK, done my work for the day, now I deserve to relax" feeling that is very hard to shake. In addition to getting up on time, feeling light-headed and sick due to lack of sleep while exercising, etc.
Not to mention 1-second GOPs are ludicrous for a broadcast/ondemand publisher like the BBC.

However, I think libaom performance was the deciding factor for this. They say right there that they chose this arrangement because it would allow them to deliver 10s chunks with reasonable latency.

With SVT-AV1 and appropriate hardware, there's no reason they couldn't do 10s like they should, and in that case AV1 would probably shine.

thanks for the product. I checked Singer, DBT, both of which are great idea and product. I build one very similar (conceptually) to DBT in my last data project. (I would not if I knew dbt is there).

Airflow is too heavy weight for me, I use Scons to do the workflow management.

meltano must do a lot of work to integrate all this together. I wonder what is the general user experience is. To me, seems too heavy weight.
Are there any sorts of future developments, either in temperature or new scientific research, that could persuade YOU either of those ideas is NOT mistaken and the anthropogenic global climate change danger position is NOT correct?

I'm flipping your question on its head because almost always in these types of discussions people accuse me of being ill-informed, then start throwing papers and such at me. But in almost all cases I've already read those things. (I do go ahead and read the ones that are new to me.) But when I ask them to do the same - to look at claims being made from the other side of the story - they usually just outright refuse. Apparently doing such a thing is beneath them, and there's no need for them to do so anyway because they've already made up their minds and have no intention of changing their position, no matter what.

Often though, the truth of the matter seems to be more like they haven't actually read the stuff they're throwing my way themselves, and probably couldn't really understand it if they did, so of course they're going to refuse anything I suggest. It's amusing to try and discuss the whole situation with them, which they try to pretend they are well-informed on, and then realize that they are generally clueless and that they're mostly just falling in line with whatever is showing up in the news - the clickbait headlines and such.

Case in point: Once, during a discussion about satellite observations, I made an educated guess as to how those observations were being made. But then someone called me ill-informed about it and threw a couple of papers my way. And when I read those papers, (surprise surprise) they said pretty much exactly what I'd said myself. When I pointed this out to the person who was giving me grief, it became obvious that they hadn't actually read those papers before hurling them at me. I told them that I would gladly delay further discussion on the matter while they went ahead and did that, but all I got back from that offer was pretty much just dead air.

To actually answer your question, though, they could start by using higher quality data, and stop screwing around so much with what data they do have. Unfortunately quality data only really goes back a few decades, if that, and it may be a few more decades yet before there's enough such data to be able to make any decent pronouncements from it. And until that happens I'm not really willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially when they go around claiming "the sky is falling" on quite flimsy evidence. I mean, if they instead said something like "We really don't have enough data to back it up yet, but from what we do have we think we see some potentially disconcerting trends. We're generally going to have to take a wait-and-see attitude, but it wouldn't hurt to start making some contingency plans beginning right now and also maybe some basic changes here and there.", then I consider that an honest statement that I could generally get behind.
WW2 air crews named and painted their airplanes crazy fun things. There were some complaints about it, but the brass had enough sense to let the crews do what they wanted. It was a way for them to take a bit of the edge off of the terrible strain they were under. (Very high death rates.)

Sweden also has something that the US doesn't have - open tax records. A creditor can look up exactly how much money a potential debtor made last year (according to their filed taxes)

edit: also, at one point my credit report in Sweden actually DID show my credit card utilization. Never seen it since so maybe the regulations around it got tighter? Example: https://i.imgur.com/NGi86DJ.png

If you implement your own type that includes the right functions with the right signatures, you can incorporate expressions with that type into LINQ expressions. Crucially, SelectMany (most notably, IEnumerable.SelectMany, but the compiler just needs a function of the right name and signature and does not care about the interface) is the monadic bind. I believe Eric Lippert expands on this in his blog series on monads: https://ericlippert.com/2013/02/21/monads-part-one/
Given the verifier has physical control over the location in which the verifiee must verify themself, it's trivial to ask for info only accessible from that location at that time.

As for determining your jurisdiction, that usually means residency, which off the top of my head could be minimally verified by govt proof via (redacted) taxes filed in that state.
The old question is if it makes any difference if you're dumb on purpose or just inherintly ignorant. It makes little difference at the end of the day, it's still your fault to not take steps to correct your ignorance and it doesn't matter for the effects of your actions.
That’s MSNBC, not NYT. In fact, their coverage goes out of their way to support centrist positions. (Unless you’re discussing their opinion columns, which include everyone from Gorbachev to Sean Spicer to Chelsea Manning.)
Considering that Intel charges almost $600 for their top 8-core, yes, that would be ridiculous. There were some leaked/rumored prices for Ryzen 3xxx and Navi that were way too low and I didn't understood why AMD would almost give away such good products; the simple truth is that they won't.
For anyone interested in doing their own customizable builds of AOSP for Pixel devices check out: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack.

Conversely, all of craigslist I bought a leather recliner couch for $50, a 40 inch TV for $250, and a dining table for $125. That's $425/yr vs $1440/yr, and I bought those 3 years ago - which would be $4320 @ $120 * 36 months.

It's a good option for certain lifestyles, but can equally become surprisingly expensive if not manged.

Not sure about furniture and clothing, but Joymode sounds interesting - kitchen gadgets, game consoles, VR headsets etc. Things someone might want to try, but could just sit around unused once the initial excitement is over. REI also, for outdoor gear - I've got backpacking stuff that sits in the basement doing nothing most of the year.

It's much easier to acquire things than unacquire them - selling on craigslist, carting things off to goodwill, or lugging them around during a move is a hassle. Being able to just tell a company you're done, and they'll come pick it up, has a definite appeal. Guess it comes down to doing the math on actual costs and disposal/move/recycle effort.

One of my random interests last year was stargazing and astronomy - I bought a cheap telescope because I wasn't sure how long-term interested I'd be, and after a few weeks of heavy use it's been mostly sitting around. Might have been better value to rent a more expensive one while my time & interest were high.
I disagree strongly that there should be any link whatsoever between representation of a populace and journalism. If there was a community that is full of uneducated folks with a strong anti-science sentiment, I would still hope that any community journalism outlets would still report factually about scientific discoveries and strive to remain untainted by any specific bias, 'representation' be damned. Journalism should not be about being representative of a populace's ideals or agendas, but rather should be about reporting facts, unbiased as much as possible.

The NYT (and others) should in fact be striving to hire less employees with any kind of agenda (whether they be 'SJWs' or anyone else).

Bad software is bad whether it's open or not. But historically, closed software has more lock-in. If a particular open lib or component is bad, it can often be fixed by somebody who didn't create it. Or, for those who don't want to touch the scary hairball, it can often be replaced by a completely new hairball written from scratch by a completely different party. Even if there's nothing broken with the original, open software is friendlier to alternatives. It might take a bit of work, but you can replace one open part with another just because it's shinier or smaller or faster or not Oracle or whatever.

I don't trust all open source software, but I trust it by default more than I trust closed software. And I know that if something really bad gets exposed the odds of a solid fix are better in open source. I get to see the warts of OSS. There's public criticism over small details on a lot of important projects. That doesn't happen for closed stuff. Sure, a vendor may have four of the brightest devs in that field and they might hash it all out behind closed doors. The open alternative usually has another four of the top 12 minds in that field along with four pretty competent others and they have a better process for hashing it out.

Then there's that other guy who's not in the top 12 who goes it alone and comes up with something spectacular. So three of the four from the other open project jump on board because they can. And since this new project tries very hard to be backwards compatible, it just snaps in as an overnight replacement. That's part of the awesomeness of OSS.

Indeed, and the difference with the "craigslist" model is I'm incentivized to keep the value of my goods as high as possible to maximize my return. Rental, I'm incentivized only to keep it in "good enough" shape the owner will take it back. Maybe some sort of value-share program where you get a rebate on your rental fees the better condition you keep your stuff? Aligned interests, and still automated.
