Not really.

All he's shown is a behavior (high CPU) and is equating it with the latitude he's at. When he turns off Night Shift, the daemon process for the feature stops consuming as much CPU, from what I gathered. Nowhere does he provide evidence that there is an infinite loop calculating the sunrise/sunset.

And I really don't want to be a stereotypical poster by simply degrading what he did, so I will give credit to him for knowing where to look and making a hypothesis that is not wrong. He's perfectly on point to _begin_ a debugging process, but I can't see he's found a bug. He's found an unexpected or undesired behavior. I certainly would consider this story/tweet as a huge plus if he were being interviewed by me for an engineering position, but it appears he's already well above my pay grade anyways.

The company I work for runs dozens of Versant instances and it generally is immensely fast and rock solid.

The Object-Oriented Database (OODBMS) space is basically just Versant. Actian however seems not to be developing it actively anymore and it's generally not that much advertises (they rebranded it as "Actian NoSQL" apparently).

I wonder if anybody else still uses it (besides us).
My Nvidia GPU was fine until gnome 3 happened. See, is not my fault. It had good drivers and decent support.

Now I use only Intel because... well, it works. But I don't bother with 3D gaming, of course.

My point is that you can blame the manufacturers because their support is broken, but you can't blame the users because they will use something else (I know I did: XFCE works great).

EDIT: Gnome shell was initially released in 2011. This may or may not have changed, for better or worse. I moved on.

Or it could end up like AT&T making $20 billion dollars a year in operating income. The high initial capital costs to launch enough satellites to provide decent coverage should prevent there from being too much competition.
You are correct, however... I can't imagine a single engineer with any kind of proper education (formal or not) implementing any piece of software or hardware without thinking:"One sensor? Really? What's the failure rate on this thing". That might have been enough to stop the chan of events.

Please don't conflate these entirely separate issues. You can charge a reasonable price for a product without use of the particularly destructive bait-and-switch Evernote pulled in 2016. I was a paying customer (having used Evernote since the early Time Band days), and quit my account in disgust.
There's a couple restrictions on supply, depending on country:

1) Limitations on number of donations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_donation_laws_by_country...

Even when there are no legal limitations, sperm banks will often limit the number of donations made by any single donor. Most donors will not travel to donate to multiple sperm banks.

2) Limitations on donor anonymity. (probably useless these days - acquaintance of mine tracked down her anonymous donor father via 23AndMe, and was devastated to discover he didn't want to have any contact with her. seems obvious, but...)

3) Limitations on donor compensation. (same reason there are limitations on blood and organ sales, I imagine). However, you have to pay highly achieving men significantly more than others for them to take time out of their day to donate into a vial. And also to abstain so that their donations are high quality.
Ironically though in this case, emacs doesn't play nearly as nice itself though when run without X or it's GUI. I used nox-emacs for years before finally giving up and switched to the GUI.

Huh? It's easy to get an individual's data. Don't fool yourself. You are not low hanging fruit in broad attacks, but if a highly skilled group wanted your data, they could easily get it. I would just look at what keyboard you use and swap it with an identical one that has an invisible keylogger in it. Or I would get to know you and your coworkers and do a precise spear phish.

Bam, instantly compromised, no decryption needed.

It's only if you commit a terrorist attack and then commit suicide that I have a hard time getting your data because I can no longer spearphish or keylog you.
The machine gave two big hints. The fan spinning up indicated the computer was needlessly busy. Then the Activity Monitor revealed the problem was the "core brightness" system. From there it is a small leap to make the connection to Night Shift.

On mobile devices the only indications we have that something is wrong is warm devices and lower battery lives, which are far less immediate. And we don't have the detailed CPU usage that desktop devices provide. Maybe we need a simulated fan sound when our devices are being pushed too hard.

Later still you'll discover that this is not the case.

Yet another shocking revelation in how little Boeing values lives when it comes to the bottom line.

This should be a company-ending event for Boeing. These folks should not be making aircraft used by living, breathing human beings.

You might like [1] and others in that vein. The passive house movement seems like a big deal in a few parts of the US (e.g. Northeast and some parts of the West coast). AC ends up being an important part of these homes as they're sealed so well that human-caused humidity (both direct and from showers, cooking etc) needs to be managed. You can get by with the equivalent of a small window unit for a 1500 square foot+ house though.

Well, the US has handled other difficult issues with super-vague laws, like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) of 1984, which appears to have been used at least as recently as 2011. If you have a weird law like the CFAA, a nation can also do the Chinese Government's "One eye open, one eye shut" vaguely vague policy, where unpredictably, the CFAA is enforced very harshly, usually on someone totally unlikeable. This makes everyone else very wary of stepping over some boundary, never mind that nobody knows where that boundary is, so everyone is very conservative in approaching issues with the law. By applying such a law infrequently, and on unlikeable defendants, the government makes it very difficult to challenge the law itself.

> Why arent we just mass launching probes to all the planets?

Because we don't live in a fictional sci-fi universe where launching things into space doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money, time and effort, and can't only be done at certain times from certain locations in order to get the orbits right, or where years of effort and millions of dollars (or whatever currency) don't also go into building the things to be launched into space. The world has better things to spend its money on.

>Why is it not OK to have a standard sensor array on every planet in the solar system?

What is a "standard sensor array?" We've already sent a lot of probes to a lot of places[0] around the solar system. But read the rest of this thread - it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Also, remember how hostile and difficult the solar system can be. Jovian planets don't even have a solid surface to be "on," for instance, and Venus has a pressure of 90 atmospheres and it rains sulfuric acid.

Apple products are the least repairable they've ever been with glued in batteries, soldered ram & ssd, pentalove screws (an effort to keep people out) iMacs are glued shut etc etc.

> Now they're the strongest glass, and aluminum and steel. Those are improvements both to reliability and repairability.

What are reliability and repairability from your perspective? Years of iFixit teardowns disagree with you. Normal screws instead of glue, and removable/replaceable covers and inner components increase the repairability of a phone. Using glass and metal says nothing about the ease of repair. Which phone is more repairable now that screens and batteries (the 2 most commonly replaced components) are glued and/or sealed in, or the chances of finding an after-market glass back for it are 0?

And the only place where the reliability increased is scratch and wear resistance. Take an older polycarbonate phone (say a Lumia) and chances are you can easily drop it from height with no obvious damage. My iPhone's glass front and back might crack if I look at it the wrong way.

I find these keyboards — specifically, the tales of woe about keys getting stuck or ceasing to work properly — a deeply worrisome sign about Apple’s priorities today.

His initial review of the keyboard before the problems started appearing.

https://daringfireball.net/2016/11/new_touch_bar_equipped_ma...

The keyboard is, for me, a mixed bag, and it’s probably the one thing that many people will like least about these machines. I find less key travel to be less pleasant while typing.

But this article also points out why he didn’t have the problem personally. He famously uses a 20 year old extended mechanical keyboard.

But I’m so far out there on this issue that I use a 20-year-old Apple Extended Keyboard II, with mechanical key switches, at my desk. I’ve never liked any notebook keyboard compared to an actual mechanical keyboard

I think it's not talked about because it's not really relevant (I know that's circular, but so is the question). I don't believe anyone gave her a pass because she was a woman (typically, sadly, the opposite is the case anyway). I think she did get a pass because she was young and well spoken, but again, that's common with young well-spoken men as well.

I think what is not adequately discussed is the "affinity fraud" aspect of Theranos: she got her initial funding from a parent of her childhood friends, whose house she was often over as a child. And because he is well known, the company was more easily able to recruit other investors and board members, which had the typical snowball effect.
> In fact, if we delay until the distant future, or even 50 years or so, such an effort probably will become impossible.

I think a better analogy, though maybe not perfect, is a knife vs a tomato slicer[1].

Tomato slicers are safer, their features are more discoverable, and they're even easier to use, but they're bulky and less versatile.

Having gotten comfortable with a knife, I like that it's easier to keep clean, takes up less space, has far more uses than slicing tomatoes, and doesn't require complicated mechanisms to adjust the width of slices.

Knives are dangerous, yes, but I think most of us already easily handle that level of danger every day.

> he wanted the devices to be appliances you sell when you're done with, and buy a new one

Appliances used to be repairable. People kept things like ovens, fridges and washing machines for decades, repairing them when needed. Companies long before Apple started the "planned obsolescence" treadmill for appliances, but companies like Apple sure didn't help. It's arguable they made the situation worse, because a lot of the components in tech are more damaging to the environment to extract, process, and throw away than many of the components in household appliances.

She met Sunny Balwani her senior year in high school in 2002. She was 18. He was 37 and married.

I think they moved in together in 2005. She publicly claimed to be celibate and single-mindedly devoted to her company. He worked for Theranos for some years. Even her board had no idea they were romantically involved.

I wonder how much of a role their relationship played in this becoming a debacle and how reasonable it would be for her to claim she was taken advantage of by him.
