And the Gizmodo deal is the most blatant one—there’s a blog about feminism, another about black power...

Anyway conversation over from me; there’s no way we could ever agree. :-)
some would, some would not. those that have been doing aircraft software for 20 years probably have a fair knowledge of airplanes, aerodynamics, and flight controls.

your comment expresses my feelings exactly on 'was this a software failure?'. No. But software was involved.
ThinkPads have certainly gotten steadily worse over the years, along with every other laptop, but relative to the rest they still seem to be the most sensible choice. Personally, I just use and maintain a collection of old ThinkPads for laptops, relegating real work to the desktop.

I stopped buying online at Walmart Brazil because its third-party sellers were awful and Walmart just ignored my last complaint (I bought a keypad and got one that was different from the one advertised). I guess I wasn't the only one who was unhappy with their service.

Their stores are also pretty shabby. They entered Brazil buying Bompreco (which was not well run at all) and then they bought the Portuguese Sonae (which was reasonably efficient) and proceeded to weed out the good parts in order to homogenise the whole operation at the lowest possible quality.

Sonae had a really good POS on which you could even sell advertising space. It was replaced by a POS that looks like a 40 column DOS application.
That's not how the way the US Government behaves. Publicly criticizing is OK.

If you want clues to who they really are insidious look at Cointelpro and how the police will incite peaceful gatherings into mobs to justify shutting them down and killing people.

You can stand on a soapbox and criticize until you are blue in the face, but try to make an active difference and you will be murdered like the Black Panthers.

Apparently North Korea still has a lot of those[1], and as recent as 30 years ago they were quite popular on Vietnam's streets. I have heard of people died from the heat or suffocation riding on them.

> I’m honestly surprised that every time you Cmd+C, the previous contents of the clipboard don’t end up as a file in the Trash.

Purely my hypothesis: it’s too high a risk that someone accidentally leaves a password or private info in their clipboard. People don’t expect a clipboard to persist, so you’d need to re-educate everyone to avoid this “bug”, just like browser history and incognito mode.

Apple is notorious for assimilating popular third party extensions. Screencapture, night shift, colour picker , why no stack based clipboard? It’s too useful to have been overlooked. Must have been a conscious decision.
Another way to say that is that farming is 1% of GDP in America now -- so the traditional war aim of capturing lots of farmland with peasants to tax is laughable.

Industry is down to 20%; in WWII capturing centers of heavy industry was a big deal, but again this seems dated.

Maybe energy's importance isn't quite captured by such figures, it's a concentrated tap of money which is easy for rulers to control. The US is no longer a net importer, but IIRC it's still Russia's main export.
Given the direction it's going, USA will likely want face recognition in the streets in the near future. I wonder how will the government convince their citizens it's for their own good. Maybe it will start in troublesome neighborhoods, show some benefits, and slowly expand everywhere.

All said and done, the problem with butterfly keyboards is the reliability. We don't associate 'unreliability' with Apple devices and screwing up on the keyboard is a big screwup because for those whom it won't work, it just makes your laptop unusable. Hence the justified pushback.

That did not happen with removal of CD drive, adding USB C only ports, removing magsafe. All these cause some painful transitions, they did not make your laptop unusable.

FWIW, I have 2018 MBP and so far the keyboard has worked fine, though I don't enjoy the lack of tactile feedback; I can see the perspective of those who bought it and the butterfly became kaput.
When you ask "should" what kind of answer are you looking for? Moral or economic advantage?
Chiplet design has so much going for it from a yeild/manufacturing/price and scaling perspective.

But what would be the next step from there?

Could it be that memory chips as we know them get merged with processing and in the case of graphics cards, maybe a logical progression down the line. Instead of a row of ram chips, and a processor chiplet blob, you have those chiplets merged with the ram and form a mesh of both processing and memory.

honestly what do you use the dock for? i find i set up my windows in different workspaces at the beginning of the day and just toggle between them. the dock is more of an annoyance nowadays.
It was also possible to use Windows to download alternatives to Internet Explorer.

Microsoft got into hot water not because Windows blocked alternatives, but because it gave preference to Microsoft's own browser. Which is something that is normally perfectly legal and fine, but under US antitrust law it stops being fine once you're the market leader.

> Contemporary mass surveillance relies upon annual presidential executive orders declaring a continued State of National Emergency, first signed by George W. Bush on September 14, 2001 and then continued on an annual basis by President Barack Obama,[3] and upon several subsequent national security Acts including the USA PATRIOT Act and FISA Amendment Act's PRISM surveillance program.

Mass surveillance is a bipartisan effort. Electing a Democrat to the White House is very unlikely to change this situation. The Obama administration went above and beyond any prior presidency in its aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers to these unconstitutional activities.

FWIW, the language in Fourth Amendment is pretty clear:

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

What's happening now is the very antithesis of probably cause. And everyone is the target.

The worst part of all is that zero credible evidence has been presented that a single terrorist attack has been prevented by mass surveillance.
30 hypothetical death is for 1 terrorist attack. Why would terrorists only attack once?

We're heading into a world where privacy is obsolete. Slowly eroded "from the bottom" by the slow creep of the Overton window of what's acceptable by tech companies and "from the top" by advances in military surveillance tech and increasing willingness by western government to use this tech on their own citizens.

In this environment will meaningful[1] political action even be possible?

[1] Meaningful as in: outside of what the government deems "permissible".
i love it but in the time i owned it, the thing jammed up full of dust/crumbs and failed 3/4 times necessitating trips to the service center coz compressed air just wasn't doing the job
The planes had a huge mix of people of all nationalities aboard them though, including some from every wealthy western nation. Air travel tends to be a lot more diverse than whatever country the flight is occurring in, especially in non-wealthy countries (where the average foreigner can better afford flight than the average citizen).

My guess is they expect well more than this amount to be paid out in lawsuit winnings. Any single lawsuit in the US here over this could easily result in an award of tens of millions of dollars -- and they have several hundred deaths on their hands.

If someone inexperienced in systems programming chose Rust as their first systems language, would there be difficulty adapting to other languages like C++? It seems like I'm caught in this back and forth between "C++ isn't pretty but it makes you money" and "Rust is so nice but where are the jobs".

They have the right. I don't think censorship is a smart answer to "alternative truths" or debatable content, though. They could just downrank it. The solution must be free and public education enabling a majority of society to make up their own mind in an informed and rational fashion.

I've got a lab mix who used to have horribly itchy dry skin. Since his coat is black, this also led to visible dandruff in his coat.

I tried several different types of shampoo (and a lack of shampoo), along with a spay on solutions. None of those helped. My vet suggested Iams, but that didn't seem to change anything, so I started using grain free dog food (at first Diamond Naturals) and he quickly improved.

Of course this was nearly 6 years ago, maybe now that he's older he'll be less sensitive.
Personally, while I have never once used the touchbar, I do think the ability for apps to display contextual function keys has a lot of use cases. I would be happy if they released physical keys with little oled screens on them, like that old Optimus keyboard. Apparently it was garbage but the tech has come a long way in ten years.
Economist here. Monopolistic competition is a well-defined term.

Intro: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition
This is "investigation conclusions done wrong", specifically a case of "correlation doesn't imply causation" and "normalize your data" working at full speed. Heck, it seems to me they are just publishing the data collected along with a 10 minutes "analysis": lets aggregate this, average that, some bar plots and ready to go online. And to add salt to the injury, they publish brand names.

This is the way "vaccines causes autism" nonsense reach the public and stay there forever. Even if a retraction, correction or refine of the conclusions is published in 6 months it will never have the impact of this release, and many will think "they are paid by the affected brands to say that".
The only place I ever plug anything besides a power cord into my macbook is at my desk, where there's a usb-c hub that has power, an external monitor, a USB mouse, a USB keyboard, and another open USB A port on it. I plug that single thing into my macbook and my entire workstation is plugged in. It's way less of a hassle than you're making it out to me.

Given America-first and China-first attitudes, smaller countries will have to band together into trade blocs, either minimalist like the TPP, or maximalist like the EU, in order to get fair treatment. It’s the principle reason why Brexit is a disaster for the UK.
A big factor is "human nature in nature" and "human nature in high density agrarian societies".

Civilization (so far) depends on the principle of a monopolizable surplus which allows an elite to mobilize lower ranking elements for games of war and power across geographical distances and temporal distances that would be impossible for HnG societies (bound by the non-monopolizable bounty of the land and the lifestyles possible in such lands)+.

An "evil" or "megalomaniac and sociopathic" society in HnG can only extend as far as their adaptive mode of production. Who can gather all the wild fruits of the earth and deny his brother the bounty?

An "evil" agarian society can mobilize the monopoly surplus to cajole and punish societal elements far beyond the "natural" borders any HnG tribe would've been able to maintain and into torturous decades and centuries.

+ - I've read about a few HnG societies where class structures arose because they had some sort of natural monopoly position; crossroads of a regional trading route or salmon run bottlenecks. But the important part is that monopolizable resources "alter" human nature and society.
I am sorry to say this but your post is bunkum. You seem to have been studying some wrong books and listening to possible charlatans. Mantak chia, Yang jwing-ming and their ilk are not authentic. They are making a living by hustling on what little they know about Chinese/Asian arts to a clueless West. There is a lot of nonsense out there on Yoga, Tantra, Qigong etc. and hence one needs to be careful on where one gets their knowledge from.

I highly suggest that you look for some authentic sources (see my other posts in this thread) in subjects that interest you and base your studies on them instead.

This is brilliant and will save me time explaining language differences. Thanks for sharing.
I was doing the same until last week, happily chugging along on my pet project when my 2011 15" MBP screen went white as a ghost. Diagnostics all point toward a problem with the GPU; apparently that generation has a known defect that's only (temporarily) repairable by replacing the logic board. A repair too costly for me to justify.

My recommendation would be to avoid graphically intense work if you hope to continue using the machine for a long time.

I was seriously bummed when my machine died. Fortunately I was able to buy one of the very last Apple refurbed 2015 MBPs, which is still user upgradable to some extent, and avoids all the horrendous design trade-offs of the more recent generations.

Best of luck keeping the old machine going!
Lower prices is explicitly what the government encourages.

You are describing a benefit, not a drawback.
Thanks for the correction, I got my timing on the 717 wrong. It only ever saw 156 built though so it's pretty much a rounding error in the grand scheme of things (contrasted with the A320 family, closing in on 10k built, or the 737 family, with over 10k built).
I think Putin's MO is making people in Russia complacent with the kleptocratic regime he heads - be it through relative economic stability/growth, or, lacking that, the pride that their country is feared by the rest of the world.

Still, you can only rely on the latter so much, so you want to be able to sell natural gas and oil without European/American sanctions getting in the way.

Keeping Europe politically divided would sink any chance of serious sanctions put in place against Russia. Keeping it from forming a military alliance would ensure that he can launch "hybrid warfare" at will without triggering a major military response.

When Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Putin's popularity soared. But just two years before that, there were major protests in the streets of Moscow:

At least not until we have general AI.

If machine brain power starts exceeding human brain power, then be very afraid of who holds the reigns.
Rust makes you think about certain things that you should be thinking about anyway when coding in C/C++ but sometimes forget about it. IMHO this makes it easier for someone who's never programmed in C/C++ to learn Rust than for a veteran in either of these - unless that person adhered religiously to certain rules of handling pointers.
I'm confused.

"And it will automatically switch to park if the car is stopped"

So it switches to park when you stop, and by extension unlocks the door and unfastens your seat belt.

Which doesn't match:
"I've never seen a car that unlocks the doors automatically when stopped, only when placed into park"

But then we do still seem to be talking about the car shifting to park you stop.
" I don't see how it's any less safe for you if your car shifts into Park automatically".

And a seatbelt unbuckling automatically whatever the situation seems like a massive anti-feature to me.

Edit:

I get it.

If (stopped && door_unlocked && seatbelt_unfastened) switch_to_park();

Not

If (stopped){ unlockdoor(); unfasten_seatbelt(); park();}

Language is hard :)
If you shift the right hand over to the right by one key, then return will be in the same position relative to your hand as on a US-ANSI keyboard. You then only need to find an appropriate key to use for the right bracket and backslash, but there are plenty of good choices.
Yes, San Francisco has rent control. However, the SF South Bay Area does not contain SF. It is usually considered to contain around twenty cities and towns, only four of which currently have rent control: East Palo Alto, Los Gatos, Mountain View, and San Jose.

The same way they used 9/11 to sell mass surveillance: using fear. Home invasions, muggings, child predators, think of the children. Maybe have news networks report more about certain type of crimes. Make sure to report on the few instances that installed cameras did help solve. If street cameras do stop some crimes, it will be difficult to argue against them, because you can't really have an expectation of privacy in the street.
That's not quite true. The USB-C port is pretty strong relative to MagSafe. Depending on the surface where my laptop is resting, the laptop will move before the cable detaches.
It's also the largest airline in Africa and it has been growing rapidly. Definitely a customer you'd want to keep satisfied.
Adapting won't be too hard. I've heard a few people say learning rust made them better C++ coders, since the habits which make it easier to write rust which passes the borrow checker also make for more robust C++ code (in effect, the same rules the rust compiler enforces also apply to C++ code, but the compiler cannot help you nearly as much).
Am I the only person that would love a thicker laptop with more features from Apple?

I don't need thin. Thin doesn't excite me. More battery would excite me. More ports. More anything but thin.
Just as a short aside, IIRC there is evidence that because of the very long association between humans and dogs, dogs actually _did_ evolve to make good use of some of humans' throwaways, compared to their wild relatives.

I don't have a dog, so didn't save the link, but for dog caretakers some literature review might do good (also, maybe consensus improved since then).

EDIT: obviously that doesn't necessarily translate to modern dry food.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I'm not against more surveillance cameras in public places. As a photographer, I have the right, and should continue to have the right, to film in any public place. Private businesses and the government should do it too. Put cameras on all police officers and as many public employees as possible. As long as fair access is maintained to the footage, the more the better.
