Doesn't sound crazy to me…the Surface Pro (3) is the first non-Apple laptop I've owned that I actually like enough to avoid using since…well, I suppose the Compaq Portable II isn't a laptop, so, ever. And the closest I've come to using it in "tablet mode" is to pop off the keyboard[1] to save space when using the Surface to calibrate my desktop display.

The type cover is not only "good enough" for all but full-time use, it's also upgradeable — which I've taken advantage of — and easily replaceable in the case of damage.

As for the screen size, I agree in part…but if it were any bigger, it wouldn't fit perfectly in the back of my camera bag, which, for my purposes, is a significant benefit.

This coming from someone with a mechanical keyboard, two pointing devices (Magic Trackpad and wired, many-buttoned mouse), and a 55" 4K display on his desk.

Demand curves have negative slopes.

The esoteric reading of minimum wage is it is a accelerationist policy aimed at subsidizing automation.
[action(x) for x in array_of_things if x > 7]

Action is the function you are applying. `for x in ...` will pull an iterator from a generator which could be doing a lot of interesting stuff. And `if x > 7` is the filter.

Amazon pays above minimum wage, so the only thing increasing minimum wage will do is reduce the job supply and make people even more desperate to keep the Amazon jobs.

Slavery was by definition the opposite of a market system, because the government enforced a system where people were not free to choose whether to provide their services in return for compensation.
If the charity can take a $5 cash donation, turn it into $15 of food and $10 cash, then instead of paying the $10 cash to management, why not split it into two more instances of $5 cash and repeat the process?
> If you spend $5 on food, and the foodbank could have bought $25 with that same money, but would instead buy $15 worth of food and $10 spent on salary for the person buying food, management, etc... it was still more efficient to give the $5.

Ok, but what if they spend $4 on food, and $21 on "costs"? You can't just make up numbers.
Costco provides health insurance and pays its employees well, and employee satisfaction is high. Chick-fil-A pays its workers $17 an hour minimum and provides health insurance and benefits. There are plenty of other examples of successful businesses that pay above "market conditions". These places are also high on satisfaction and people are treated like human beings.

The problem is working for a business owner who's a prick. That's not the fault of capitalism, it's the fault of Amazon's leadership.
> Exactly! We can call the one for small peripherals "USB", the one for monitors "VGA", the one for networking "ethernet", the one for power "AC"... I suspect most users can figure out how to manage that.

Wrong kind of names. For these cables, all you should need to know is a speed rating. And they almost work that way, but the ball got dropped in a few places and the cables are badly labeled, so it turns into a nightmare.

> And for their benefit, and only their benefit, we've tried to cram together the entirety of device I/O into one multi-pronged standard that was clearly never going to work.

I can't agree at all with that. The needs of phones were already satisfied by USB micro, long before any of this cramming started. USB-C's complication is not because of phones.

And even though the data connection is rarely used, it sucks to not have it available for file transfers and backups and tethering. And barrel plugs are terrible for charging on the go. You have far fewer outlets than USB, and there are too many different sizes.

I can see you have got answers pointing in two completely different directions.

I was stuck by this statistical from a recent article in SCMP:

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3016657/he...

To help narrow its chip gap, Beijing looks east to Taiwan

"There are no official numbers about how many Taiwanese are working at tech companies on the mainland, but a widely cited statistic suggests that about 9 per cent of the island’s population, or 2 million people – including businessmen, managers, students and their families – are living on the mainland."
It may be the same thing from an end-user experience PoV, but it doesn't seem like any of the PC laptop manufacturers can offer equivalent security guarantees.
> And, per my linked article, other experts did.

Yes, and other experts responded to those issues and there was an interesting technically interesting back and forth. Meanwhile on hackernews, armchair critics posted condescending and meaningless dismissals. For some reason you are defending them instead of advocating your position reasonably.

> I'm sorry, but being unable to answer the question: "How will you prevent the birds you're trying to protect from also eating the poison?" ipso facto makes a plan "terrible"

It isn't in any way relevant, but you can not possibly justify the claim that they are unable to answer that question.
Note that Thunderbolt 3 is not part of the USB 3.2 standard. It's the basis for USB 4, but right now to be fully standards compliant with everything USB-C itself can fully do you do not need to be Thunderbolt 3 compatible, because thunderbolt 3 is not part of the spec at all.

And even if you wanted to be Maximum Compatibility even with Thunderbolt 3 you may not have that option as TB3 tops out at a cable length of 2 meters, and at that length you're dealing with half-rate bandwidth (just 20Gbps instead of the full 40Gpbs - which you only get up to 0.5m)
For apps that have their own currency, it's of course possible to spend $10k+. But before every exploitative game hopped on the custom currency bandwagon, you used to be able to buy skins/guns/characters/etc. outright with real money. If my game allowed you to buy 5 characters each worth $10, then I could accurately claim the max IAP profit from each user for me would be $50.
Plenty of studies show there may be no correlation between CEO pay and their performance! Have a look through the results of: https://www.google.com/search?q=ceo+pay+correlation

Another example was the guy that built a successful baseball team from low paid players (what was the book called?) which showed low pay did not mean low performance in a discipline where outcomes could be measured (much easier than CEO, so you would expect better correlation of pay with performance for sports).

Edit: Moneyball (baseball is as foreign to me as rugby is to Americans?).

It is such a difficult balance to be had since by taking a position of trying to resolve any/all frauds in the platform, they create a can of worm that is difficult, if not impossible to fill. The failure of finding all the frauds, illegal activity would prohibitively expensive, if not destructive to the platform itself (Think false-positives, etc).

For them, it is better/easier to say "we have the platform, we remove what we are legally bound to remove, everything else is on the user to be mindful of".
The standard absolutely needs to support the ability for computer and peripherals to detect what kind of cable is connected ... then we need consumer level implementation at the os to tell people when their cable is insufficient for the task they are trying to accomplish — with this, bring on all the cost saving measures for cables.

He spends much time on "minute" quantities at the start, but the explanation doesn't really make sense. To me, it's a mental model I can't trust, like rickety stairs.

It's great that BPF can be used to implement all kinds of monitoring tools for Linux. But I would really like it if pcap-filter finished implementing basic BPF primitives for IPv6 that have worked in IPv4 since the beginning.

From the pcap-filter(7) manpage:
"Note that tcp, udp and other upper-layer protocol types only apply to IPv4, not IPv6 (this will be fixed in the future). "

Sometimes reading posts about BPF makes me think I'm the only one still using it to filter packets.
It’s more like blaming the local power company for local energy prices. Nobody is blaming Amazon for wages worldwide. They’re blaming Amazon for the wages of their own workers.

And why not? “The market” isn’t a magic answer here. The market provides a floor on wages, not a ceiling. If Amazon pays below market wages, they won’t get enough workers. If Amazon pays above market wages, nothing bad happens aside from reduced profits.

When you say “you can’t blame Amazon, they’re just paying market wages” what you’re saying is “profit is the only thing that could possibly matter.”
I think that makes it an even better example.

Giving away the addictive thing you still have to pay the societal cost of having people addicted to it. Switzerland handles this is a very admirable way and they have excellent outcomes, due to treating addiction as a disease rather than an individual moral failing.

I don't see why substance abuse in particular should get a super-special treatment in our discourse on human addiction-related behavior.

If it's destroying your ability to function in society, and something that you might want to drop the habit of, we should support our fellow people in doing it. If that is gambling, video-games, porn, they all activate similar dopamine related effects. Heroine and other opiates are super-effective at this, but it is still the same pathway being activated.

Interview with Laura Bosco:

Hey hey! I recently built a no code prototype that helps soccer coaches manage youth teams. Most youth football clubs (in the US) use a variety of manual systems that are, well, pretty rough. I wanted to explore a mobile app option that would make things easier.

Inspiration for the idea came from a few sources. One of my clients (I’m a writer for tech startups) challenged me to build something with no code. After I seriously struggled to come up with any good ideas, my husband, a licensed soccer coach, helped me pinpoint a few painful problems in his niche.

As far as experience, I used to be a Digitial Project Manager at a WordPress agency, and I did leverage a WordPress theme to build my own site. So I have some familiarity with websites. But I wouldn’t at all say I’m “proficient” in the actual build process. And I’m certainly not proficient in app-building, programming, or coding!

I’m currently working on a fun little no code website project in Webflow, but you’ll have to keep an eye out on Twitter and Product Hunt for that one...

I don't understand why that sentence is always mentioned as a notably good opening sentence on its own. If it wasn't written by Steven King in a book that's considered to be good, would anyone really identify the sentence itself as a great opening sentence?

> For some reason you are defending them instead of advocating your position reasonably.

You know when I said we were talking past one another? This right here is why.

You're attributing a motive to me, which "you can not possibly justify". You aren't in my head. You're reading the position you want to find in my words, which is absolutely not the position I'm taking.

To be clear, then, my entire position is premised on "healthy" skepticism, which I found to be the operative word in the post that spawned this trawl through pedantry. I think suggestions like "throw cats at the problem" are patently ludicrous, and if you browsed that particular thread, you'd see my comments to that effect.

The unicycle was invented shortly afterwards. Here's a patent from 1869, for an over-complicated unicycle with a treadle mechanism instead of pedals on cranks. https://patents.google.com/patent/US87355

Many of the objections about how complicated the bicycle is don't apply to the unicycle. The Romans could have made a perfectly good one out of wood with brass cranks. But maybe it was even less obvious than the bicycle that it was possible to ride.

Wild guess: in a surge of privacy consciousness you told Google to stay the heck away from your data. These checkboxes stick forever and couple years down the line some magic feature won't be able to learn from your data.

So, why aren't they circular like portholes?
OP here.

Today we build web applications with general purpose language runtimes. Osgood is an experiment that asks the question: "What if we built a runtime specifically for web apps? What kind of benefits can we get from being at a higher level of abstraction?"

Since the Osgood runtime has intimate knowledge of the routing table we get the ability to isolate controllers for free (we refer to these as Workers). The I/O performed by the application, as well as policy enforcement, happens in Rust-land. Each worker has its own set of permissions.

Consider the situation where Controller A has permission to send a message to evil.ru, and Controller B has access to user credentials. Within a properly configured Osgood application this means it's not possible to transmit user credentials to evil.ru.

(Incidentally our main product transparently provides similar isolation for Node.js apps. The architecture ends up looking quite different because Node.js wasn't created with this concept in mind)

The article also didn't mention weight. The lighter a bike is, the more effective it is. One made out of wood and iron would be simply too heavy. Imagine a cast iron wheel.

DP 1.2a goes up to 21.60 Gbit/s, and 4k 60hz (which does work fine over 1.2a) needs 12.54 Gbit/s. I'm not sure how the 5Gbit/s and 10Gbit/s USB-C cables fit into this. It's obviously not just based on the cable's "rated" bandwidth, as if it was neither the 5Gbit/s nor 10Gbit/s connection would work at all for display. But it does, so it must not be, so what is it?

Is it 5Gbit/s per twisted pair? That would make sense as displayport uses 4 pairs so 4 * 5 comfortably gets you the 12.54 with plenty left over for regular data. But then it would matter for the 10gbit/s cables if it's talking about superspeed 1x2 (2x5gbit/s) or 2x1 (1x10gbit/s).
Yeah, I know that it's a rootkit-type service. But I'm saying that still doesn't prevent you from going deeper than the checks. Especially if you're using custom code and not a known cheating tool. (Those will get picked up by signatures) Unless they require a fully certified system, you can always play with device drivers which are going to be lower level than anti-cheat.

It's an arms race, but whatever they can check, you can patch. Worst case, you can still virtualise everything.
> identical connectors for incompatible protocols — often hazardously incompatible (to equipment) protocols

The main actual hazard with USB-C is that somebody solders the low voltage power pins backwards. What that has happened, it could happen to absolutely any type of cable, so it's not exactly a problem with the standard.

The employee, and no one else, gets to decide what they want for their body.

The fact is, OSHA has no moral basis to override or overrule that human being’s own decisions for their own body.

What is deeply immoral is third parties using sticks and firearms to overrule that person’s choices. Their body, their choice.

If the goal is to get the employer to notice the issue, leaving and hope they get the idea, when the pool of applicants is essentially unlimited seems like a poor way of articulating a position.

Amazon is a captive audience in this protest and by not just outright leaving, the employees are forcing Amazon to consider their situation, rather than write it off and bring in a new batch.
A minimum wage is far better. Why make every company try to guess what is reasonable on some moral level?
