Well, yeah it has to. The amount of freight vessels dwarfs cruise lines by multiple orders of magnitude. However, freight performs a useful, nay, critical service.
> No More iTunes

For those of you excited by this, don’t be. All they did was split one app into four. It still works the same way.

Yes you can see your device in the finder. But you can’t do anything with it other than upgrade the OS and back it up.

Want to put a movie on your iPhone? You’d think you could just drag it from finder. But no, you have to load the AppleTV app, which is just the movies and tv part of iTunes, import it, and then go back to finder to hit sync.

Honestly, the experience was better with iTunes, which was awful.
This is why I panicked when they announced they won't sync Google Photos with Google Drive anymore. With the sync, I can setup one of my computers to constantly download the photos and then copy it onto a local backup and an online backup. If my Google Account gets locked - I'll just copy the photos into something else and move on with my life. They removed that saying it's confusing to users - all the while it was an option users had to go explicitly enable.

I switched to iCloud which supports the download feature.
Without the examples, I wouldn't have understood the article. And I did have some graph theory way back in university.
I’ve never understood why people ever feel the need to point out whether a pun is intended or not. I never see (rhyme intended) for example, so why puns? To me it tends to disrupt the flow of the prose
> There are 21,000,000 BTC ever ever, you can't print more.

This is not true. Forks exist, and anyone can make 21 million bitcoin at a time. It’s still a question of if people will accept the forks, but it is an option
Better than touchscreen, though, especially when moving (only doing it as a passenger, of course!)
> Also, print out some backup codes and stick it in your wallet.

The idea of backup codes is good. Putting them in your wallet reduces your security though. Depending on the value of your accounts, you give a (physical) attacker everything he or she needs to compromise you.

If you are going to keep these things on your person, consider protecting them with a hand-written cipher. Example: https://www.schneier.com/academic/solitaire/
The author really hasn't learnt anything if he thinks that enabling all Google recovery options is the right thing to do. The only thing you should ever use is "Google Authenticator" and then store a copy of its recovery codes in a safe place (bank vault or zero-knowledge encrypted online storage). But better yet, don't use GMail in the first place.
> "Only a small portion of what they burn is for propulsion."

I'm a bit skeptical of this. Looking at the numbers for the Symphony of the Seas ship (current largest), the peak power requirements from all propulsion (3 x 20,000KW + 4 x 5,500KW = 82MW) is comparable to the peak power output of the ship (4 x 14,400KW + 2 x 19,200KW = 96MW.)

Of course I doubt the ship rarely, if ever, goes pedal to the metal with all thrusters at once, and I cannot say what it's typical energy generation looks like. So I don't have enough information to say you're wrong, but the numbers I do have make me skeptical.
yes, it is.

The vast majority of people writing C that I've seen in the past 20 years are occasional C programmers. We write in higher-level languages, and occasionally drop down into C to troubleshoot a library we're using. I haven't been a full-time C programmer since late last century. I see C code these days and think "huh, so that's valid in C now".

I get that you are a full-time C programmer, but unless you're volunteering to take on all my C troubleshooting work, this seems almost punitive. Like building a balcony with no railing, because nobody would just walk off a ledge -- and yet, sadly, professionals still die from falls.

To say that all such people are "clueless", regardless of skill or training or experience, is to fall back on the old test pilot mentality: the good survive, therefore, if you didn't survive, you (retroactively) must not have had The Right Stuff after all.

Joel Spolsky explained the reasoning more eloquently than I could:

"Now, even without going through with this experiment, I can state with some confidence that some of the users will simply fail to complete the task, or will take an extraordinary amount of time doing it. I don’t mean to say that these users are stupid. Quite the contrary, they are probably highly intelligent, or maybe they are accomplished athletes, but vis-à-vis your program, they are just not applying all of their motor skills and brain cells to the usage of your program. You’re only getting about 30% of their attention, so you have to make do with a user who, from inside the computer, does not appear to be playing with a full deck."

I trust myself and the people I work with, but I still wear a hardhat when they're working overhead, and I tie all my tools to my belt when I'm working at height. It's the clueless people who don't learn from the mistakes of the past.
I was renting a 2018 car on vacation with apple car play and was very pleasantly surprised how good experience is.

The whole air system in the Yaris is great. I recently left my car sitting for a while, and a chipmunk made a nest with the cabin air filter material. I looked under the glove box, unscrewed three Phillips head screws to drop the blower, cleaned it all out and screwed it back in. No messing around with body panels or other parts that were in the way, no custom or odd-size connectors. A mechanically simple system, easy to access and maintain.

this is exactly the ecological mindset I was talking about.

To use the example he uses: Boulder, Colorado, if it grows at 5% per year, will start running out of livable space near the town centre. As it expands, property prices will increase and adapt to the rising demand, and growth will slow as the once-attractive city becomes less affordable and less attractive. The councillor who wants 5% growth now (because at this point in time, 5% is fine) might be perfectly aware that 5% growth can't be continued for 70 years. That wasn't the question he was asked - having a single idealised growth rate for all time is ridiculous. The growth rate will need to adapt to circumstances.

The part about coal consumption is also simplistic and naive, because it doesn't take price into account. If coal becomes scarce, the price rises, and demand drops. You can cheerfully say "coal will last 1000 years" (if you wanted to, but why you'd want to is another question), because coal consumption is not going to continue at a steady pace until suddenly there's no more coal. As the coal stocks dwindle, the price will go up and less critical uses of coal will stop, and demand will decrease, until eventually 1000 years from now, the last piece of coal is in a museum and way too expensive to burn.

The "peak oil" thing that he talks about is the perfect example. Everyone (for good reasons) thought we'd hit peak oil in 2008. Then the oil price rose enough to make fracking viable, so natural gas took over providing energy for a bunch of things that we'd been using oil for (and they also found more oil fields), and suddenly there's enough oil and western civilisation continues as normal. The whole thing was a huge false alarm and the Hibbert curve is expanded yet again.

anyway, interesting talk, thanks for sharing :)

Something being assumed here is that in the US, we have pedestrians on sidewalks.

In truth, you only see this in large urban core areas, but in most places, even the suburbs, people don't walk anywhere - mainly because in many cases, there's nothing nearby to walk to.

Everybody drives.

That isn't to say nobody walks, but such people are few and far between. Usually, when you see someone on the sidewalk, it's either a skateboarder, a bicyclist, or someone in a powered mobility chair.

This does, of course, vary based on the population and geographical makeup of the area (and weather), but usually, again, the only time you see more than a few people walking on the sidewalk, it's within an urban core area.

Also - speaking on the weather topic - here in Phoenix, Arizona, we don't typically have many walkers on sidewalks in the downtown area, in the summertime, because the heat is extremely brutal (even with shade). At one time, it was also a year-round thing, because there wasn't much to do downtown (and shops closed early), but things have changed in recent years (mainly due to the install of light rail).
The volume control is fairly good in the 2018 model. There's a dial on the head unit, and a strange-but-fairly-effective touch sensitive volume control on the steering wheel.

As far as I know, no Roku device has ever implemented Ethernet over HDMI. It's too poorly supported by devices to spend money on implementing, and WiFi just works better.
If it is pegged to USD, there is no investment potential. It is just as bad as cash.

Tether became (at least for a time) a favored method for cryptocurrency investors to shift their positions to USD. I think Facebook has a good chance of doing the job better with Libra than Tether has done. This might put Facebook into an advantaged position in future payments services and cryptocurrency.

(One thing that just occurred to me: would it be possible to alter the operation of a stablecoin, such that parties who are trying to corner the market will automatically expose themselves to other parties who would exploit them?)

What if Facebook also came out with a stablecoin to the Yuan, the Pound, and the Euro, as well as their own non-stablecoin cryptocurrency? I suspect that this would give Facebook the same kind of information advantage currently enjoyed by petroleum multinationals in the petroleum market.

(EDIT: Euro)

Chris Brown Expecting Baby No. 2 with Rumored Girlfriend, Ammika Harris

Tap and swipe is first nature to him. What fascinates me is, this boy cant figure out how to turn on the tv because he keeps tapping amd swiping the remote control. I once saw him trying to swipe on the light switch as well.
How is that "allowing them to be more active throughout the day" ? You were already in a position to be more active if you wanted to. It's not like the watch increased your productivity 10 fold and suddenly freed up an additional 3 hours of your day to go exercise. The wording is questionable.

I recently wanted something similar to this for drywalling.

I'm a DIY homeowner renovating my basement and adding an office.

There were a lot of rules regarding where/how to use floating corners, what screw lengths/diameters to use, where to place the screws, etc. It was really hard to keep them straight, and in some areas I used way more screws than is ideal.

The issue was further complicated by inconsistent advice from the Gypsum Association (the main trade group, AFAICT) and various contractors who post advice on Youtube, diy.stackexchange.com, etc.

I really wished for a website that let me enter the shape and framing details of my room, and have it show me an optimal plan for the shape / placement of drywall pieces, and the attachment method.
When people are used to this they can't easily tell what is satire anymore.

"But that $50k represents what the author thinks they can get away with, not the true value of the dataset to your algorithm."

IMHO. "I trusted cloud services to store my data". I never do that. I have multiple offline encrypted backup copies (on-site and off-site). I do not trust anything out of my arm's reach. The cloud is not an option for serious backups (unless you have n copies with different vendors + offline backups). I think the convenience of the cloud (with encryption) is an option when you have offline backups. I hope you will get your data back and that nothing will be compromised.

I don't agree that interviews for "competitive" jobs are inherently stressful. Insofar as any interview is nerve-wracking - I agree that's unavoidable. The point of hiring is finding anyone that's capable of doing the job, not overseeing a gladiator deathmatch. I get the sense that no one is vulnerable enough to admit that hiring is a toss-up and almost intractable problem. Even more annoying is that experienced and competent workers in industry are usually going to be the people that believe they'd be good at judging candidates when there's little evidence that tech competence translates to hiring competence.

Can't really know their reasons, but for me - it gets the job done. Not everything is 100% success and require scaling, not everything 100% will grow to huge codebase requiring code burecracy. You can do a lot with PHP until you really hit the wall, and if you get there - it is a good problem to have. Learning new languages and frameworks is great, but it is not required to fulfil business needs and if they have PHP experience and PHP does what they need - it means that PHP is probably a good tool for them at that time.
