I’d guess “spending only $35”.
For items with no safety implication, that is probably true.

But, take the case of USB chargers. If the name-brand bursts into flames at a rate of 1/1000000 and the fake 1/1000, most consumers will never know they received a fake. But, for those that have their house burst into flames, the fake was not worth the savings.
Quite, you don't build a productive team and high quality app with compelling features by accident.

It might be an accident that this is the part of the system that succeeds, or an accident that it happens to hit the market at the right time, but being capable of seizing the opportunity and executing on it well are both also required and are never an accident.
It will hopefully contain a lot of features people asked for like a better keyboard, Face ID, more connectivity, etc. And just like the Mac Pro the starting price will probably be enormous, I wouldn't be surprised if the base model is $2.5K or more.

And I wouldn't have problem with that at all. My 2015 Macbook Pro has been worth every penny. I used it every day and it's still going strong. Before I bought this MBP I tried every Windows machine money can buy and I always had problems, both hardware and software.

If Apple goes back to making products that are generally without problems, I'll upgrade to the newest model at launch day. The keyboard woes definitely held me back.

That seems like a fairly short-sighted view. Much of Amazon's strategy seems to be giving up short term profit to establish a monopoly for much larger long-term profit. They aren't perfect, and have certainly made some unprofitable decisions over the years, but I think that their overall strategy is VERY profitable, even if it hasn't yet yielded all the profits it is going to.

> Redis doesn't provide a data structure for that.

Both Redis and Aerospike provide more than enough mechanisms for one to roll their own composite hierarchy. Both provide server side scripting via Lua as well so the database can maintain consistency and prevent chatty access to the store.

KV database modeling is just as rich as its relational counterpart, but if one isn't using a KV store for a compelling reason, use Postgres.

“Well, what would you say if there was such a plant that could substitute for all wood pulp paper, all fossil fuels, would make most of our fibers naturally, make everything from dynamite to plastic, grows in all 50 states and that one acre of it would replace 4.1 acres of trees, and that if you used about 6% of the U.S. land to raise it as an energy crop, even on our marginal lands, this plant would produce all 75 quadrillion billion BTUs needed to run America each year? Would that help save the planet?”

“Yeah? What is it?”

“Hemp.”

“Well, Mr. Herer, did you know that hemp is also marijuana?”

“Yes, of course I know, I’ve been writing about it for about 40 hours a week for the past 17 years.”

“Well, you know marijuana’s illegal, don’t you? You can’t use it.”

“Not even to save the world?”

“No. It’s illegal”, he sternly informed me. “You cannot use something illegal.”

What does he do with it? From what I’ve seen, most people throw these in a drawer instead of find educational value in it. Would be interested in anecdotes where it led to something positive and what approach worked out.
Synology is probably the biggest player in this actually. They sell NAS hardware you can just add software to, with a selection of "home cloud" software of their own.
To look at this from one perspective, I wonder if this is because BMW assumes accelerating climate change (most scientific models use very conservative figures, meaning they assume best scenarios, and now scientists are being shocked that things are happening much faster than those models, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/18/arctic-p...) will mean either regulation or market interests will shift much more quickly to electric cars, so they're also moving their target, because otherwise it'll be like selling great looking, great performing steam engines when everyone are more interested in buying Model T's.

So businesses making good decisions because of climate change... a good thing? But maybe too late?

I prefer to code one level deeper and I mostly use plain Spring MVC controllers. That way I can still have spring security for the endpoints but it keeps the endpoints more decoupled from the repositories.

I typically have a repository generated by Spring Data, a small service layer with business logic on top of those and then an MVC controller that only talks to the service layer, never the repositories.

Each controller also has its own DTO class(es) for request bodies and responses and a small converter between DTO and entity. Kotlin extension methods make it easy to add the toDto() method onto the entity so a typical controller will fetch the entity from the service and return entity.toDto().

Kotlin, Spring Boot and Spring Data are amazingly well suited for this.
And yet they won't invest a dime in charging infrastructure as Tesla has done. Which means the only electric car you'll be able to drive between cities remains Tesla. Until that changes Tesla will continue to sell 10x more electric cars than all other carmakers combined.

There are a few new languages competing for the title of “better Python,” i.e., a language with Python-inspired syntax, optional typing, and native compilation. Julia is trying to be a “better Python” for mathematical and scientific computing, and Nim is aiming to be a better general purpose Python. Nim predates Julia by a few years, but there’s a lot of excitement around Julia these days.
If you read the article, you see that implies full EV (though of course it's not always so clear-cut, with the i3 having the REX model where you have a built-in charger that uses a small gasoline engine).
Large old software companies have hilarious deep layers of abstraction and tooling on top of legacy code from people that have long left the company. Usually getting anything done requires gathering word of mouth arcana from multiple people.

Didn't Seattle (or some other major PNW city/area) actually remove or close roads in their area, and saw that congestion decreased overall? I seem to recall reading about that several years ago...

I was in Europe recently. I have no idea where people are planning on charging these things. Massive new infrastructure will be required. EG, automakers externalizing their costs onto society again. For what it would cost to roll out and maintain this infrastructure, you might as well just have free transit everywhere, and just keep a state-maintained fleet of rental cars. Would be much cheaper and more efficient.

Being able to use 83(b) valuation would imply tax on book value which is not really an accurate measure of the value and would favor a whole set of structures and increase the amortization / accelerated depreciation / write-down of assets.

Our current tax code, similar to a representative democracy , isn't good, it just may be the least bad of all the options out there.
Fair enough, but I got the impression the parent was really trying to push the envelope here, so "acceptable" seems a far cry from that goal.
Yeah, without specifics it reads like the mostly thinly veiled of conservative dog whistles.
personally, i’m using matrix & riot with my family (including non-technical people), some friends and coworkers. i chose it for 5 main reasons:

1. it is an open standard based on free software

2. it is based on history synchronization between servers instead of message transmission between clients, so you can send messages seamlessly from any device and have access to your conversation history (think git vs sms)

3. you can use your own server to host your conversations (the conversation history is replicated on the server of each participant)

4. it has end-to-end encryption

5. there is only one type of conversation, so the are no differences between a one-to-one chat and group chat: a one-to-one chat is simply a group chat with only two participants

i have my own personal server (old laptop at home), and the rest of my family uses another dedicated server (other old laptop at my cousin’s home). friends and coworkers use the matrix.org homeserver. the matrix.org homeserver can be slow sometimes (because it hosts many rooms and has many connected users), but messaging between our own servers is instant.

sure, it’s not (yet) as polished as mainstream apps. for example, currently, with end-to-end encryption, one need to verify each device of each other person on each of their own devices, which is not very user friendly (but this is being worked on, so only one verification per person will be needed in the future).

this said, it has nevertheless the most needed features. it has even some features that mainstream apps lack. for example, if you’re a little technical you can start using bridges. this allows to receive and send messages from/to other messaging systems (irc, xmpp, slack, telegram, discord, sms,…) all from within your matrix client.

I would say the biggest problem is that the most capable humans are for the most part incentivized to work on shifting money around or producing goods and services of dubious real value and/or with plenty of negative externalities.

What cultural foundation? Racism? Misogyny? Because we’ve always been an inclusive, multi-cultural society, and the US has, at least over the last 75 years or so, been viewed as something of an anti-culture beyond its cultural elements imported from elsewhere.
> "starts_with_foo" is a horrible name, because it only says how it is implemented, but doesn't convey any meaning or the intention of the function.

Two questions for you:

1. If `starts_with_foo` only communicates how it's implemented, what about `starts_with_foo(x)` communicates to you that it's implemented as `x.startswith('foo')` rather than `x[:3] == 'foo'`, or some other implementation?

2. If the intention of the function isn't to test whether x starts with 'foo', how is this not a bug?

If you click the first link to the IAA 2017 announcement with the original goals, it says “25 electrified new models until 2025 and 12 of them all-electric”

This announcement is just accelerating that schedule, so about half the models should be full EV and the others will be hybrid. I agree it would be nice to get more details regarding plug-in capabilities.
That's an overstatement, there will be non Tesla EVs with over 200 miles range and there are other charging companies. To say you cant drive between cities in a non Tesla EV is just false. Furthermore your 10X is way off, Tesla sells the most but historically Leaf and various plug ins put up comparable numbers in the 0.5 to 1X volume range compared to S and X. Model 3 is biggest volume EV of course, but only in the past 12-18 months or so.

So, let's get informed people. EVs matter for climate change but blatant disinformation gets us nowhere.
How Will the Universe End?
Maybe it’s just the way this is written but it seems amusing to me. He has “called for sales of electric vehicles to increase by 30%”. Not Actually done something that would increase them, just called for it.

Are any of BMWs existing or 25 new electric cars any good though? I tried out the i3 but its range is tiny.

Also, BMW and intel need to have a chat and sort out some differentiation in the i numbers they use.
Same. I bought and returned a few PCs, including a couple of Surface Pros. I actually like the feel of the new Macbook Pro keyboard, but I'm running into too many friends with missing or stuck keys.

> the real irony is that RDBMS are all built on fast k:v stores :)

Not if the RDBMS is a column store. Or if the storage model is based on log-structured merge trees. There are many ways to map the relational model to storage. Even for the traditional row-oriented case in InnoDB there are structures like B+-tree indexes that do not directly correspond to a K:V store.

That's an unusual screen resolution. Are there existing panels at that resolution?
Actually yes. Running a secure storefront is hard, as is supply chain logistics. The easy way out is to have amazon host your storefront - you design the theme and put the products there, but the security, payment and shipping are all Amazon.

I regularly buy from a small website that isn't run by Amazon - some months after every order I get a different credit card in the mail because someone hacked the small website. They really need to give up on running their own secure payment processor and hire someone bigger. (I order from them because for the obscure parts my car needs they have the right one in stock and know which are right)
would be awesome to overlap the data about suicide rates with levels of physical activity and social media involvement among the concerned age group during 2000-2017.

Any type/form of exercising act as the detox for the mind's negative energy. Not saying this is the magic pill (I understand, depression is a real thing and needs to be treated) but I am sure exercising can help in some cases.

Similarly, we are all too familiar with the negative impacts of social media.
> And yet they won't invest a dime in charging infrastructure

BMW has a stake in the Ionity charging network, a joint venture of a few companies: https://ionity.eu/en/about.html

BMW also sells home charging units: https://charging.bmwgroup.com/web/360electric-international/...

Your claim is wrong.
This is my overall take on this. I don't think I' am getting dumber, I appreciate that experience has given me a more nuanced view on things and to be certain about something, unless that subject is really really narrow, is a type of ignorance.

Doesn't mean I don't hold a strong view on some subjects, experience has also solidified things that time has shown as essential.

There's a theory that circulates on 4chan and on the edges of "rationalist" blogs that having a conservative society that puts everyone in their place improves mental health by making most people feel like they have a place. Probably the least radical place this has been expressed is on Scott Aaronson's quantum computing blog, where he argues that some of the troubles he had in his youth would have been averted by the strict social traditions of the jewish shtetl. (That's why he named his blog "Shtetl Optimized.")

Yep - I for one wouldn't mind getting an EV, especially to drive around London. But I live in an apartment building, with underground parking, with no outlets. At least Tesla have their chargers, I saw an entire section dedicated to them at a motorway service station, that serve double purpose as chargers and brightly coloured adverts...

They're part of IONITY (along with VW, Daimler, and Ford).
> macys wouldn't be given a free pass if it sold counterfeit nikes in their B&M store

The equivalent would be holding a shopping mall liable for the fraud and lost business one of their tenant caused by sourcing counterfeit goods. I don't see any brick and mortar shopping mall getting more than a tap on the wrist under this premise.
I’m also a thirty year Mac user and also not happy about the keyboard and waiting for a new one (using pre 2016s) - but I’m not going to throw away three decades of my own knowledge and tooling over it. Yes it sucks, but that seems like blowing it out of proportion.
I tried ZFS with 4 GiB RAM in the past and it was not fun.
Does it work for you?
Yup. For all their flaws and bureaucratic inertia, big banks still have the largest coffers for providing a well-rounded product. Given how backend vendors like Fiserv can be hacked and have 0 repercussions doled out to them, I simply could never recommend banking with local mom-and-pop banks. Just avoid HSBC and Wells Fargo, and you're good.
I'd expect to see a sharp increase. Hope is a key component to mental health, as hope erodes people will feel lost and sad.
The very real crisis that many of us have start to feel will only get more pronounced as time goes on. Further resource constraints like less water, additional heat and bad news as people will have to move, causing local instabilities that balloon into regional or international conflict.
The future for young adults is grim, where I live they compete with multinational banks to buy homes. Then end up renting from the same people.
Like many other large issues in our country those entrenched in power have taken the 'it doesn't exist' approach to the current climate destruction. This further exacerbates hopelessness. It is not a very good situation to be in.

This has some graphs showing the suicide rates for different age groups: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2207007-us-suicide-rate...

There is a clear curve upward in the 15-24 and to a lesser degree the 25-34 group starting in 2013. I don't think there was a big economic downswing at the time, so it could be other cultural or technological factors at play.
Presumably the investment in MacOS applications. Switching from Mac to whatever else would require finding replacements for those.
> Korean website The Elec recently reported that Samsung was in talks with Apple about supplying OLED displays for the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but if the IHS Markit report is accurate, the notebook will have a LCD instead.

Shame. I was hoping for a much better display. Of course, I won't complain too much until I see it for myself compared to my 2012 mbpr. If there isn't too much of a jump, my wallet will stay closed.

I would have thought that Apple's recent push to 4K would have signalled a common push to all devices having a minimum resolution [0].
