> The problem is that 'extensible' is often used as code for "able to immediately upgrade to the spec I actually want while paying the least possible to Apple".

Although on one hand that was a valid market segmentation strategy. Enthusiasts can afford the base spec model and upgrade it, and "Pros" (as defined by this new model - people with unlimited corporate expense accounts) will spec their machine with Apple so that it's warrantied and supported.

In theory, if applied flawlessly, maybe nothing is wrong with the permanence of the death penalty.

In practice, mistakes are made, regularly, and these mistakes are distributed unevenly, such that the poor and minorities suffer the most.

The many wrongful deaths at the hands of the government is a good reason to be skeptical of arguments which assume the death penalty can be applied perfectly. It can’t.

Because the cost of putting them to death using a system that has sufficient checks to (mostly) prevent innocent people from being executed (i.e. the current system, if you believe it works) is greater than the cost of imprisoning people for life.
If you have enough ACKs going upstream to start being a problem, you are most likely downloading a large file, and that traffic isn't particularly latency-sensitive in either direction. If you have something actually interactive that's also trying to use the same link (eg. VoIP), that traffic probably should be prioritized over a firehose of ACKs even if it will make the file download a bit slower. ACKs shouldn't be treated as any more important than the payload data they they are acknowledging. Low priority downloads should generate low-priority ACKs.

I was born and raised in Europe, not in the US (just to see how much things changed in a few decades). And I would not want my kids to grow up like that. Back then, that was normal. Today, luckily is not.

As I see it, the world is a violent place, always has been and always will be, by not teaching your kids about it all you're doing is making them irrationally afraid of it. Then they want to be extra safe from it so they support politicians who says they'll keep them safe. Of course, safety involves constant control and oversight by the government but to those raised without violence it is a good tradeoff.

Chip shortages happen every now and again. I remember at least two due to shortages of a particular kind of epoxy resin:

1993 https://apnews.com/8fe2925b68d34d33f19a53e4892c74a2 "epoxy resin has been the talk of the computer chip business for the past month after an explosion destroyed a Japanese factory that made 60 percent of the world’s supply."

Please don't read Climate vs. Capitalism, the author has no formal economics training and her analysis makes this clear. Rather than realistic and thought out solutions towards decarbonisation - like those suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - we are treated to yet another exhausted critique of neoliberalism accompanied by the usual quixotic calls to action.

Yes, activism has a role to play in convincing governments to act, but when it perpetrates the myth of individuals vs. corporations it does nothing but help individuals relinquish themselves from blame. Look at the gilet jaune movement in France after it tried to impose a fuel tax. Some of these people are the same individuals who if asked would declare unwavering support for climate action. In practice however few are willing to shoulder the associated cost, even in the rich world. They mistakenly believe that taxes on corporation wont eventually filter down to consumers. There are also vast misconceptions about our existing ability to substitute away from fossil fuels even if we had the renewable capacity (for example, over 80% of UK households only have infrastructure for gas heating). The public debate needs to make these trade-offs clear rather being inundated by people like Naomi Klein who are more interested in finger pointing and sensationalism.

If you really want to want to understand the issues we face and how we might actually confront them then read the IPCC report [1], the Club of Rome Climate Emergency Plan [2], or even this blog post by Bill Gates [3].

I thought we could have mature discussions on HN. I was wrong.

The current situation made some sense when HK was a colony of the British: The Brits made the law and did not cooperate too much with "the reds".

But now, as someone looking at it from abroad, it makes no sense at all.

This is not about "foresight" or anything like that. It does not help someone's cause to downvote comments and to refuse to discuss on facts, and to riot. In fact it make people look like "red guards".

Edit: This has nothing to do with "one country, two systems". The principle is respected here with HK having to pass specific legislation according to its own legal system in order to allow extradition to mainland China. The point is that it makes no sense to have extradition treaties with, say, the US but not with mainland China for a Chinese territory.

The insults and the fact that people now track my comments history to downvote all of them on random topics prove my preceding point about "red guards"... Disgraceful tactics.
Not OP but I presume a major reason is that the LG display (5k Ultrafine) only has a TB3 video input which means virtually all GPU cards can't drive it. I ended up with a HP Z27Q 5K display for my setup but would have much preferred the LG if it had more input options.

You need to show a strong deterrent effect of the death penalty for this to be a reasonable line of argument.

True, it's usually about being identifiable. Italy, France and the Netherlands require model release as well if you want to publish those pictures if I remember correctly. I don't know how Eastern Europe handles these cases.

Yes, this. Also, there is a saying in the security world, "Attacks only get better over time."

I consult on embedded systems, and at least one medical device I work on is directly concerned with this issue. Embedded systems (cars, elevators, medical devices) consider a different threat model than, say, a server sitting in a data center. These poor devices often sit vulnerable, physically unprotected, and often they can be acquired on Ebay, etc. and "tortured in a garage" for months on end.

Scary stuff. Good for me and my business, bad for all of us though.

I can imagine an $1800 Apple monitor that would compare favorably on price. Say 43”?, 6K 60Hz?, big and good color space, flawless panel, near-Homepod quality speakers, good USB-C charging.

I searched for a good monitor. I ended up buying the $900 LG 32UD99. It’s a 32” 4K IPS 10-bit HDR monitor with USB-C charging and FreeSync support. It’s pretty great! However it’s not as good as it would be if Apple had designed and made it. It’s somewhat flimsy, the panel has patchy light, and the UI is quite poor. I might in some cases pay x hundred dollars for the level of quality I’d expect in an Apple version of that niche of monitor.

HOWEVER! There are those people who pay extra for Apple just for the surface value. People who don’t actually benefit from the spec they’re paying for. I don’t disagree with that per se :) It’s just not always the case.
