Are there any good products to help do this sort of thing?

It seems to me there would be lots of integration to do between the LTV predicator and quite a few other systems, so this would need quite a large team to make.

Maybe I'm wrong...

It's subjective of course, but strictly looking at display & bezels the "which is more aesthetically pleasing" question is not even close

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20290854 Brave's ads won't go into the page unless the publisher agrees, and the current ads are shown as notifications. Note that while your link uses the word 'replace', the source blog post does not.
Sure, I don't believe in complete control either. But what benefit would it bring to believe that I have absolutely no control over my life? That would in fact be self-defeating, especially if it turns out that we do have some marginal amount of control. What a waste that would be! And if I believe that I have control (which itself isn't something I can control in your model) when in fact I don't, then why would that change anything about my life? What positive effect would this revelation of lack of control have? The only outcome of your belief system is to deny control when it does exist. I'll keep my belief system, thanks. If your philosophy works for you, keep on being an automaton dude. L8tr.
I drove a motorcycle from northern Colombia to Central Peru on a motorcycle and some of the absolute best and worst moments of my life came from bizarre and non existent roads that Google sent me on.

Many of them ended of being goat and cow trails that google mistook as roads, ironically most of the time there was a perfectly good highway nearby but Google would notice some dirt path directly through a mountain pass looked just a little bit closer.

I documented one of these sidetracks:

Well, my point is that design is opinionated and my opinion is clearly contrary to yours – in the past five years (and more) Apple has set the standard for what laptops should be. Thanks for proving my point! :o)
No, it's water vapour. Steam is a gas.
I got one of these fucking things, and I noticed my thumb feels strained when I use my phone. It's because my thumb has to bend down a lot further to reach the bottom of the "chin" all the time.

So much for "design is how it works", huh Steve?
My wife knows now. AFTER she called me to ask what the heck it was. Yellow witch cauldron with an exclamation mark was the exact description.
Their tech is 2019 appropriate if you don't have an Apple laptop, is the thing. And they even provide some USB-C stuff for Apple devices, but only from Apple, I assume because the demand is nearly nonexistent. Just like if it were a proprietary Apple port—though I think they actually have some lightning cables from other manufacturers, at least, unlike USB-C.

[EDIT] I just think they whiffed well ahead of the ball on this one, is all. No USB-C ports to 100% USB-C ports was premature. I think the percentage of their market that was like "oh good now I can plug all my USB-C stuff into this, which is most of what I have!" rounds down to zero, while all my geek friends and co-workers' reactions were closer to "so... there will be zero things in my home or office I can plug into this without an adapter? And for this I gain... maybe 1mm more of thinness?" with actual experience quickly confirming that concern as valid, as #donglelife continues without end in sight.
Mainframe environments are partitioned. Usually, when you want to validate a change, you deploy it to a separate partition of the same machine that is running your current workload.

This is a huge simplification.

Well I can’t even read my own research paper (lost my tex source and final digital copy when both hard drive and backup drive failed within the same hour). I know for a fact that it is archived and basically exactly where but it’s beyond either one of an abusive layer of bureaucracy or a paywall, whichever I would choose to go through. Not that it’s worthy of anything or even remotely interesting but it tells a lot about the absurdity of it all.

> Everyone knows the fuel distributor, or the window heating icon.

No they don't. I've been in a car with a front window defroster and a rear one. The icons are different, but who knows which is which.

> Not everyone understands "Fuel"

More than understand an inscrutable icon. Besides, anyone can look up Fuel in a dictionary. How do you look up an icon?

> "Włącz", "Rozmrażanie", "Paliwo"?

Dictionaries are marvelous tools. translate.google.com works great, too. There are no icon dictionaries, especially when everyone copyrights them so every icon is different. If you don't know what the icon means, you're borked.

Hey, I'd settle for the wretched icon if underneath it they're write "Defrost".

Besides, I've traveled in Poland. I don't know a word of Polish, but had a wonderful time regardless. Everyone I met was very nice.

OK, I'll consider that working stiff. Let's say he lives in Saskatchewan, family of 4, rural area. That means he gets a carbon tax rebate of $670 in 2019, which would cover the carbon tax for 4408 gallons of gas. The average family in Saskatchewan pays $403 in carbon taxes over the year. That working stiff may drive more than average, but his carbon footprint is unlikely to be more than average because he probably is heating a smaller house, flying less than normal and buying less stuff than rich people.

Of course this working stiff can't afford to buy a new Tesla, but in my experience poor people turn over their cars faster than the middle class. Their junker breaks down and it'll cost more to fix it than it's worth so they sell the old one to a wrecker and buy another 10 year old car. Maybe the next 10 year old car is a used Leaf? Awful range, but it gets him to work and back, and it saves a good bit of money...
Except that courts do weigh get asked to weigh in murky situations and come out with a ruling all the time, which is the reason they exist.

As Ruth Bader Ginsburg said recently, "However one comes out on the legal issues, partisan gerrymandering unsettles the fundamental premise that people elect their representatives, not vice versa."

Assuming that user is even right about this, I would call that the most extreme imaginable version of trying to buy off publishers with a cut of the lost revenue. That's #3 on my list of scammy Brave practices.
My anecdotal evidence of ~90k miles on our EV says yes. A coolant flush, tires and windshield wiper fluid are the only things I've done in that time.

Compare that with Brakes, Oil changes, Transmission service, DPF + DEF and the host of other things you get with a diesel engine + transmission.

We've got a diesel truck, diesel tractor and EV, it's pretty easy to see the maintenance differences between the three of them over the years(the tractor being the highest with the added complexity of a hydraulic system).
Somehow newspapers and magazines managed to do that in print without a problem.

It's amazing that there is absolutely no online ad agency that behaves like the print ones.

By "mainframe environment" the author of the article is presumably referring to IBM's zOS. Unlike minicomputers, DOS, etc, it's been continuously developed and improved over time. Other than using weird terminology for everything that comes from not being Unix-derived, nowadays it's a modern server OS.
Is the problem really type inference? If it really was, you'd have to disallow chaining method calls, or using method calls inline as parameters to other methods. Every intermediate value would need to have its type annotated explicitly, not just named values.

I don't think that's an improvement. Languages like Java and C++ don't work that way, and they're the ones being decried for having to spend too much time writing out redundant types.

I think the problem is that people don't treat types as documentation. List them explicitly when it clarifies. When it doesn't, leave them out. A lack of documentation is better than useless documentation. Treat types the exact same way.
Few people travel frequently, but I bet as you go higher and higher up the food chain at Apple, you find more and more frequent travelers in the social circles of those Apple employees.

This might explain the apparent overemphasis on thinness.

You could hit a rail with a rail ... it would need to be a great shot though.
Agreed generally, but this one is on the publisher or whoever is in charge of making a digital copy. I was recently reading some of Bukowski poems on kindle, and the "weird" formatting intended by the author was relayed just as well in digital as it was in paper.

I tried to become a driver, but my license plate is not from the state that I currently reside in, so I fell thru the cracks and now I am stuck in this funnel with no way out.

Every once and a while I get an obscure request from Lyft and I can't immediately tell if it's related to my identity as a rider or my identity as a driver.

Wish all of these marketing funnels had a big "PULL CHUTE" button so that users can remove themselves. I'm stuck in a hundred car dealership funnels too, and continue to get "nurtured" week after week.

0.3 with Brave on Android, no extensions. 0.9 with Chrome on the same device, same connection.

Brave isn't particularly "unusual", and is even based on Chromium - surely this is Google blatantly punishing non-Chrome users?

For Big Tech to retain government protections, they must stop the censorship
Every other consumer electronics manufacturer just figured out how to make cables that didn't fray, and it's nothing to do with the magnet...

The boon from the USB-C is that you can charge with a borrowed commodity cable when you've left your adapter at home and aren't in an office full of Macbooks. But it's been left to third parties to implement the concept of combining USB-C and a magnetic joint in the same cable.
(I'd have been tempted to get into the manufacturing business if they hadn't...)
Can you elaborate? What resources are allowed in e-mails besides images? I'm pretty sure Gmail doesn't auto-load JavaScript or anything like that.
> Maybe you don't ever need to present anything from your laptop

I present all the time, but I can't remember the last time I had to plug in. The problem with trying to plug in is that the other side could be anything from VGA to DP. Should VGA ports be stuck back onto the MBP?

> And if you're a semi-pro photographer, the lack of an SD card slot is terrible.

What about the CF, XQD, or mini-SD slot? I'm an enthusiast photographer (maybe even semi-pro as I have been paid for my pics before), and soon I will not have a need for an SD card slot.

> mag power

Mag safe was nice, but I recently took a trip where I needed a single power brick and cable for my MBP and iPad. Once the iPhone goes USB-C it will make traveling even that much easier.
This decision was promptly copied by every other major phone manufacturer, for the same reasons Apple made the decision. The 3.5mm jack is obsolete and getting rid of it enables a better, tougher device which is more waterproof.
I'm with you. I'm mildly annoyed with the TouchBar, but willing to accept it for Touch ID, and as for the rest - I'm not finding it nearly as grating as I thought I would, and a worthwhile sacrifice for the lower weight.
Are you implying that DRM is a solution to piracy? If anything, DRM is a big driver for piracy, and its success rate is near zero. Virtually all major DRM-"protected" works are available on thepiratebay shortly after release. Sometimes before release.

The "better solution" is to treat your customers with respect and let them own their bought goods. Gog.com is a good example here, in my opinion.

What definitely doesn't work is to burden your paying customers with digital locks and hurdles to enjoyment, that the pirates will shortly find a way to remove for the non-paying audience.
In general I agree with you, but I do believe that there are certain jobs that a majority of Americans simply will not consider. While there is definitely some xenophobic reasons behind this, I think the bulk of it can be explained in economics terms. The average American worker is pretty well educated compared to the rest of the world and has a much higher wage ceiling if they are willing to be selective. We do however need more wage growth in this economy and it's good to see the Fed coming to grips with this and retreating from further interest rate increases.
> on

Is it O for On, or O for Off? I never remember. Besides, if all you know is Sanskrit, how much harder is it for you to learn that On means on than O means on (or is it off)?
To add to this: I do the same. Actually checking the items off of the list is less important than having the checklist written down.
The thing about (not) learning social skills is that there isn't instant feedback whether it's working or not. Can't write Selenium routines for people.
I have a problem sometimes with late night "drag races" where two or more ICE vehicles decide that the relatively straight streets of a downtown grid are perfect for aggressively and loudly over-revving some engines then blasting down the street as loudly and presumably violently as possible.

Admittedly, my building is at the first traffic light of the straight part of the (one-way) Main St. Potential plans to restore two-way flow to such a street might lessen that somewhat, but I assume random idiots with what look like clear streets will continue to love showing off how loud their ICE engines get doing stupid stunts.
Mea culpa. I didn't read the article closely enough and I missed this.
You can easily see how many people coming from that ad brought your product. Why would you care about the origin statistics?
Artificial diamond? But it doesn't matter - you don't actually want something hard because you don't actually want it to go all the way through and out the other side. You want it to dump all that lovely kinetic energy into whatever it's hit.
While I get the appeal of the Retina Macbook Pros and forward, my love affair with the Mac laptop ended with the discontinuation of the 15" unibody Macbook Pros.

Those unibody laptops represented just about everything I wanted in a laptop.

A powerful laptop with a quad i7 with a bunch of useful ports (including ethernet) and the ability swap out the RAM and storage easily.
The services are to sell more to the people in their hardware ecosystem.

Their "focus" in services/media is because the # of iphone customers has plateaud, so now they are now growing by selling more to the same customers, not selling the same to more customers.
Agreed. The security point jumped out for me.

Still, some of the other points are more correct than at first sight - the author's failure is to compare mainframes with single servers when, in reality, they behave more as tightly coupled clusters of specialized machines. When you switch to this mindset, a lot of the problems we face managing our clusters have mainframe counterparts since the mid 80's.
Store the backups encrypted under a separate key for each user, and then throw away the user's key.
But you have to be a Cool Kid who has another Cool Kid send you an invite. Why do they use this 'artificial scarcity' approach? I'm now disinclined to use this service, and to replace it with some scripts in emacs. (One should never, ever leave unencrypted email 'in the cloud'.)
I tend to agree with you - at some point the whole "take everything away that you can do without" became "do without". my MacBook pro is great, but I would love more ports. I don't care as much about weight, I'd happily do with more battery, and more keyboard travel.

Generally, when I think of "Pro" I'm thinking of more features, not just the same features but more powerful. I would think that pros actually have different needs, and that their tools would have different functions to suit.

As you said, we'll see.
Can't we have USB-C with magsafe?
I've never been to r/WatchPeopleDie (nor would I want to, as I'm fairly squeamish), but I was under the impression it was videos of people being killed in situ (think Darwin awards), not people actually being murdered.

There are a lot of people tackling bits and pieces of the problem. Tom Mitchell's NELL project was an early one, using the web in all its messy glory...http://rtw.ml.cmu.edu/rtw/

Lots of other folks here (CMU). Particularly if you add an active learning. Hard messy problem that crosses databases and ML.
A better rule would reference the governmental monopoly on violence. Threatening to nuke a city is extreme violence, but there are about a dozen world leaders who can actually do that without violating their nation's law. On a smaller scale, various law enforcement agencies are authorized to commit certain pre-approved acts of violence. If the police want to threaten the use of a sniper in order to encourage surrender, that should be fine if the use would hold up in a courtroom.
I think I'm a caffeine addict. If I try to quit caffeine, I'll have flu-like symptoms and migraines for at least a week or two. I can see how that's less bad than a heroin addiction, but isn't addiction somewhat of a spectrum?
One could argue the investment represents a better endorsement than the blog article. Perhaps a redundant endorsement but certainly not worthless.
They could have offered non-DRM copies of the books to people who purchased them and then closed shop. Giving refunds seems to be much more expensive than the alternative?
Yes, it's definitely divisive. In my case, I do need a reliable keyboard, I do not have a single USB-C device around me that I can connect (while having literally tens of USB-A devices), I do not need or want the touchbar, I want the function keys, and I don't mind the extra thickness. The new macbooks make all the wrong compromises for me.

So, if it is divisive, why not make both kinds? Why does there need to be a single compromise across the entire line?

I hate the fact that I am reduced to living in fear of what will be taken away the next time they present a computer. I find it bizarre that we have pretty much accepted that we need to give something up for the "new thin and light", and we just wonder what it's going to be and explain to ourselves how we didn't really need all those USB ports or headphone ports after all.

Also, magsafe saved my bacon many times, and I'm looking at a USB-C connector on my wife's laptop and its so worn out that the plug is almost falling out. Magsafe was a much better solution.
Yes, similar and it was more than batteries, it was also magnets and car materials Etc. Batteries are an important part of that (and still the weak link given relatively long charge times) but it would be a disservice to a Model 3 to say that if you had LiIon batteries in the 70's you could have built one then.

I agree it doesn't seem justified, but keep in mind CO2 effects are logarithmic, so ppm is a poor measure. 10 ppm at 200 ppm is as significant as 20 ppm at 400 ppm.
Studies have found that justified text reduces reading speed by up to 11% as the eye has to do more work to find the next word as they’re irregularly spaced.

I did a quick search and found a PDF [0] (page 8) referencing a study from 1986, but a lot of work has been done on typography and readability over the years. Actually, even though it’s pretty old, that document is full of solid design advice.

Because Steam is DRM done right (in terms of ease of use). With Steam, you just press a button, and the game is yours to play. Zero friction.

99% of the time DRM is used, it makes the product less convenient to use by people who bought it legally, as opposed to those who pirated it. An example that comes to mind, all those blu-rays with bajillion of warnings and ads before the movie starts vs. just watching the movie right off the bat without any ads or wasted time if pirated. Don't even get me started on Denuvo or any other video-game DRMs, those are creatures straight out of UX nightmares.
Did you jump back on Google Streetview and checked to see how the google car managed it?
I think the argument for using universal chargers or battery packs makes sense for phones, where it is certainly understandable that you'd find yourself somewhere with a phone but without means to charge it - most people carry their phones in a pocket, where a charger battery might not fit or be comfortable to carry.

Moments where you'd find yourself with a laptop but without a charger are far harder to imagine for me... If you're carrying around your laptop it means you're using some sort of bag or backpack, at which point there's no reason not carry a charger in it too.

Magsafe's main function (safety against falls), on the other hand, has saved my 2013 MBP more times than I can count. It is a godsend, specially for people that live around small children or pets.
Why does the site need to check pixel colours and inspect content that's been drawn?

Why can't that be whitelisted per domain by the user?
> Mag safe was nice, but I recently took a trip where I needed a single power brick and cable for my MBP and iPad. Once the iPhone goes USB-C it will make traveling even that much easier.

I didn’t even realize how much this would matter to me until I went traveling. All of a sudden I don’t even need anything but the brick, because I’ll just either hook it up to my phone directly with a ubs-c to lightning cable (and it charges crazy fast) or I’ll use the laptop as a hub. I still carry a sugar cube with me just in case, but I never use it really.
