My father was a commercial photographer, and inherited a Hasselblad from him. Shot it for a few years and took some wonderful pictures, but I fell out of love with the darkroom process. Maybe I’ll invest in a digital back at some point, but the cost of doing so seems excessive for amateur purposes.

Beautiful camera. Joy to handle and work with.
Weird conclusion. The best managers/masters tend to be predictable. Institutions by their nature have norms that enforce this. It's not even close to the same thing.
> Again, every pilot knows about Dutch Roll;

Knowing about it doesn't help. They crash anyway. That's why there's a yaw damper as required equipment.

> No one was told about MCAS

That's true, but they were told about the stab trim cutoff switches to halt runaway trim, and the MCAS failure exhibits itself as runaway trim. The flight before the Lion Air crash had an MCAS failure, too, and the pilots simply switched off the stab trim and they landed safely. They did't know about MCAS, either.

> Which instantly decertifies your aircraft to be carrying passengers.

That isn't how certification works.

Boeing has certainly made many mistakes with the MCAS system, but the problem was controllable by pilots who remembered what the cutoff switches were for. This was proven in the first MCAS failure incident I mentioned.
>Both corporations and environmentalists should support efficient recycling and oppose innefficient recycling.

Are you saying that's what corporations should morally do, or that that's what they should logically do to increase profits? It could be that a corporation saying "buy our stuff then recycle it" causes more people to buy the stuff than saying "buy our stuff then throw it away". In that situation, a profit motivated corporation would promote recycling even if it hurts the environment.

When the unibody Mac first came out the edges were so sharp they sliced your wrists. It took a few years for them to finally release them with a small radius on the edge. Just a few mm made a huge difference. There were some YouTube videos of people sanding them down to make it more bearable. Terrible design decision to have such a sharp edge but somebody really wanted that "crisp" edge look.
I took an informal survey of engineers and most type 80+ wpm. 65 seems slow if you type as part of your job.
That's revisionist. People tend to forget that when the iphone was released it had no appstore and Apple was telling people to develop webapps. This was less functional than existing offerings on the market, but it sure looked and felt better.
Again, AT&T tried this and there was still noticeable lag.
You are right, but unfortunately nothing beats the Macbook trackpad, and that's what I tend to use 99% of the time nowadays.
Oh the Espressobin. The poor thing has a dozen or so variants, and each one requires a different u-boot image. Fortunately they ship with the u-boot image on SPI flash, so in theory you could just let it be and not worry about the variants... except for the massive security issue where the stock u-boot bridges all ethernet ports.

With a stock u-boot, from the time the bootloader brings up the ethernet switch until Linux takes over it with dsa and bridge-utils, your LAN ports are directly bridged with your WAN port.

Tangential public service announcement: Your forearms should not be digging into the edge of the laptop. If they are, you are positioning your hands and wrists in an uncomfortable and inefficient way which has a good chance of leading to RSI. Irrespective of the smoothness of the laptop corners, don’t do this!

Ideally you shouldn‘t be putting any significant pressure on any surface with your forearms, palms, or wrists while actively typing. You want your hands “floating” with the fingertips resting very lightly on the key tops. But even if you must rest your hands or arms on something, please keep your wrists as straight as possible, and especially avoid wrist flexion or extension.

The surface of your laptop should be more-or-less parallel with the plane of your forearms, with the keyboard kept close to your torso so that your shoulders can remain relaxed with your upper arms hanging down at your sides. (This reduces the torque your arms put on your shoulder, allowing you to comfortably support your arms without any need for external props.)

If you have a tall desk and a low chair, and can’t change furniture, the way to work around the poor furniture design is to either (a) move the laptop to a low tray or directly onto your lap, or (b) prop the back side of the laptop up so that the base of the laptop is tilted toward you, with the keyboard parallel to your forearms. Keep the laptop (or whatever other keyboard) near the edge of the desk.
The curriculum between the 2 should be very similar. If you decide to get an MBA after a BBA you are just wasting your time. An MBA is really for all those nonbusiness majors that decide that getting an understanding of business is important. A major other than business plus an MBA will help you understand the world better.

As far as a career, graduating at the top of a top-level MBA will guarantee you a high paying job. You can't say the same for a BBA.

Unless you graduate high from a top-level MBA school an MBA is just nice to have. Some companies will increase your pay a bit but it won't be life changing unless you plan to do something with the knowledge. If you're aiming for a C level position then an MBA will help a bit but there your career will have to speak for it self so having an MBA will just be an addition to your resume.

One way might be to split envy in to:

Covetousness
Resentment
Sadness
(Maybe ambition?)

Covetousness is really, really, bad. It will eat your soul. It is the desire to take what someone else has for yourself. “I want his car.” “I want his girlfriend.”

Resentment can be useful for a short term, but will eat you and cause bitterness if it festers. “I am not paid what I’m worth, I can get better elsewhere.” Is a useful statement if it is accurate and you act on it. But if you are lying to yourself or if you don’t act, it turns bad.

Sadness is a normal human emotion when things just aren’t how you hoped they were.

Ambition is the (mostly healthy within limits) impetus to achieve more. “I want a boyfriend who is nice the way his is.” “I want an even cooler car than anyone I know.” As long as you remain healthy and within your ethical system, ambition is good.

I think maybe taking a frustrating emotion like envy and reframing it with component parts can help you approach it differently?

Just an idea.
Being 20 times cheaper while producing 2% of the kWh because they're turned off 98% of the time makes them 250% more expensive per kWh. And that's comparing the the capital cost for the entire nuclear plant to only the turbine, not including the capital required for the hydrogen storage, or the equipment to produce the hydrogen, or the energy cost of the original generation (with large conversion losses). Or, again, the deadweight losses from the safety margin you need for surplus capacity that you might but probably won't ever use, which could double the cost or more on top of everything else. Whereas if you spec additional nuclear it means you're generating that much more useful electricity 100% of the time.

Meanwhile that kind of storage will have more difficulty finding investors, because if it turns out that some cheaper or better alternative comes along, an investment in nuclear might have to average generating power below levelized cost, but at least you recover most of the capital. Putting in $100 in capital only to have the net present value fall to $80 sucks, but not nearly as much as putting in $100 in capital for a complete write off because you were expecting to be selling to the grid 2% of the time when it turns out to be 0% between demand based pricing and better than expected competing storage technologies. Which means higher capital costs (meaning interest rates) that reduce relative competitiveness even further.
Different people type in different ways.
One of the most intense experiences of my life was a "sand bath" at Siwa Oasis. You get buried in unbearably hot sand with supposed healing powers. I didn't have any particular problem, just read about it in Lonely Planet and wanted to see what it was like. Definitely recommended for a crazy intense life experience.

I’m really curious, as someone with little knowledge of these kinds of security considerations, why is it bad to have the wan port and the lan ports bridges?
This article is perfect for submission to The Onion
In general yes, there is the infamous specialization of a vector of bool in C++ though.
I don't qualify it as envelope protection, because it doesn't actually prevent you from doing something daft. This is a characteristic that seems to be common in every system I've heard of described as an envelope protection system. Though in a sense one could consider it one I suppose in the absence of a malfunctioning AoA sensor.

If it were envelope protection. It would serve the purpose of preventing you from getting into an untenable situation, regardless of your control inputs. MCAS doesn't. You can go all the way to stall with it, and it just keeps cranking down the trim to keep the control stick force curve from inverting.

It creates the piloting experience (look and feel) of 737 piloting, but introduces new and lethal failure States due to the lack of error checking, and graceful degradation of functionality.

There's other issues, but that's what sticks out to me.

To be clear, my categories of the different applications of FBW are built by the distinction between what it is trying to do. Take the F-16, or F-117 as an example of Fly-By-Wire making an unstable aircraft controllable versus Airbus control law system, which basically takes a stable airframe, and exposes a common user interface so similar control schemes can be used for physically different airframes.

The first variety has no place in Civil Transport. The second absolutely does.
Gratuitously making a mouse unusable during charging, where there was an easy and obvious way to make it usable during charging, is bad design.
That was the second version, the original model didn’t have the dent.
Seems like a little much to sell the same hardware for triple the price.

Edit: Is this contraversial? It is literally the same hardware with pfsense installed and a case. $155 for an ARM A53 is a crazy markup.
This comes from Nico Nico (some Japanese video site) and is basically like a live stream chat but overlaid on the video.

There’s definitely some argument about groupthink but you don’t need coordinated state propoganda for that, people end up doing that anyways
That's the point the author makes in the article—that Ive's team did better work when it had tradeoffs imposed on it.

I don't know a ton about single board computers. Can anyone comment whether the use of an EspressoBin board here has some significance over, say, a Raspberry Pi?
In my opinion the fruit flavor iMacs and the clamshell iBooks were incredibly ugly.

Same feeling towards the original versions of MacOSX with the “lickable” candy color theme.
This is a terrible argument to justify a poor design. There are plenty of times you need to use a laptop in non-ideal situations, such as a car or plane. The laptop should not punish you for having to operate it outside perfect conditions.
Yes this is true, but many of those ways put considerable strain on their hands and wrists and commonly lead to serious injury. If the forearms are digging into the corners of the laptop, that almost certainly means that the wrists are extended (bent downward), which puts the tendons/joints used for typing into a weak and injury-prone part of their range of motion.

People should do whatever works for them and listen to their own bodies, but should be really careful with computer keyboards. I know many professional computer-users who did themselves serious harm with significant impact to their careers.

If something hurts even a little bit, please don’t try to work through the pain.
I'm curious when you say less functional than existing offerings you mean .... exactly what? Those java apps you could download from your cell phone carrier that ran incredibly slow? Or the robust ecosystem windows mobile <6 had at the time?.. Because Android wasn't out... I agree with foolfoolz, iphone raised the bar both functionally and visually, regardless of having a app store at launch.
wan = outside firewall

lan = inside firewall

You don't want to bridge them because then it just bypasses the firewall.
From the article:
>In the first interview, he also admitted to admiring people who work on satellites, where you have to justify every iota of space consumed, every gram of weight, because they’re expensive and you only get one chance to get them right.

The thing is, laptops aren't satellites. I've never understood the obsession with saving even a pound of weight for a laptop. (OK, maybe if you're one of those people who flies a million miles a year.)

It's a tool, not an objet d'art or a satellite. The Thinkpad was the best expression of this idea. I've never liked using a Mac more than a Thinkpad. Maybe I'm strange that way, or maybe I'm just that much further skewed toward utility that it makes all the difference for me.
"That vague hostility towards humans keeps peeping through."

A story recounted here last year [0]:

During the development of the first iPhone, Ive and his team became enamored with the look of an extruded aluminum prototype. Even though it was immediately apparent that the model's sharp edges made it physically painful to use as a phone, they persisted in trying to push the design and paper over its principal practical problems. It took Steve Jobs to finally step in, point out the obvious, and check Jony Ive's worst tendencies. [1]

Steve Jobs is gone, and nobody is left to fulfill his roles.

If you are genuinely concerned about bears a hunting knife is almost worthless vs a can of bear mace. Hand guns fit between them, but are vastly less useful than most assume. https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jwm...

As to why people might be cautious, I would say it’s completely rational behavior. A linebacker is more physically dangerous than a baby and people react to them differently.

Becoming desensitized is just a normal response to exposure, not a more or less rational behavior.

How Solar Panels Work in Various Weather Conditions (A Case Study)
I think the difference with debates is that they are moderated and usually fact checked. Ads on the other hand are much more prolific and it would be substantially harder to fact check everything. But the ads isn't my concern, my concern is the data.

You could use the data for good. It could help politicians and candidates find out what constituents want to a high accuracy. This would clearly be a good thing.

The issue is how that data is handled. If that data becomes public (you always have to assume there's this chance even if it is controlled) then it could easily be used for nefarious purposes. We've seen that it doesn't take much money to spread a lot of misinformation. Because of this I don't think it would be a good idea to just sell that data to whoever wants it. There could also be problems of resale.
There is no condition where you should have your forearm digging into the front edge of the laptop.

If you come up with a body shape and context and I guarantee you we can come up with a more comfortable way to position the laptop than anything requiring wrists bent downward.

This is not about the design of the Macbook: the same goes for any other laptop, however smooth and soft its front edge might be.
I read this article from start to finish. It never gets off the ground, so I don't recommend bothering. There are much more interesting critiques of Ive's design.
It's pretty slow TBH. I use mine to run pihole and samba and samba will max out the CPU.

I tried to use mine as a firewall for my Google Fiber but w/ just basic rules enabled it would max out around 500mbps, I imagine I could probably get 50-100mbps out of it running a decent IPS ruleset, but I haven't tried.

The Topaz switch chip uses the RGMII 1gbps uplink to the CPU so even though there's 3 1gbps ethernet ports you'll only ever get 1gbps through the device if you have to do any software level processing.
I believe Japan follows this system. It was very confusing when I visited because they sort their waste into combustible and non-combustible, instead of trash vs. recycle.

This is a game of whack-a-mole. Given enough data, the ML system will just find other characteristics or groups of characteristics that act as proxies. It might unfairly penalize candidates in ways that are impossible to detect by human evaluators. The promise of these systems is that if you give them a pile of raw data, they will detect subtle patterns that aid in assessing individuals (be they job applicants, ex-cons, whatever.) However, some of the patterns that they detect are our biases against classes of people. If the solution is to sanitize the data to such a degree that the ML system can no longer infer that someone is a woman or that someone is over 40, etc., then the training data is probably also useless for detecting the non-obvious patterns that we want the system to discover.
A Blackberry was probably more functional at that time but wasn't as nice as to use and look at.
> de-queing, checking a stored timestamp then re-enqueing if the time hasn't passed yet

That sounds reasonable to me. Any condition that means you can't process that yet, just re-queue it for later. Let the Queue be a dumb single purpose component and do what it does best.

If you are upset about making the business logic more complicated: The thing that does this check could be middleware so that your application code can not be concerned with it.

For the philosophy see: http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/

> "cat isn't for printing files with line
numbers, it isn't for compressing multiple blank lines, it's not for looking at
non-printing ASCII characters, it's for concatenating files."

So you could argue "queue isn't for scheduling messages, it isn't for X.. Y.. Z.., it's for managing a queue of things"
It still runs into problems where in general, the electronic manipulation is what pilots muscle memory develops around, and the more mechanical advantage is utilized, the faster the wheel turns in the cockpit during normal operation.

Those wheels are already notorious for the punishment they can subject an errant kneecap to.
Sometimes the pain is caused by a razor-sharp laptop edge, which is the point of the post. I type in two main positions–on my back like an otter, or lying face down on a mattress. I'm guessing some people here type suspended upside down from a gravity swing. The computer case design shouldn't punish us for our typing choices!
God forbid anyone who actually uses their laptop on their lap...
I've owned multiple Thinkpads, and have a MacBook Air at home. I'm a pragmatist, so I don't mind that my work Thinkpad is all black and looks like it's from the 1990s. I enjoy that it has a built-in Nvidia GPU (which I use for machine learning). What makes me sad that with a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install, my work Thinkpad can't even do two hours of battery life.

My MacBook Air at home is 3 years old, but it's thin and light. I take it with me when I travel, and the battery will last through a whole trans-atlantic flight. I don't actually care about the visual design, but the 2016 MacBook Air's keyboard feels very comfortable to type on, and the battery life is awesome.

Unfortunately, when this MacBook Air dies, it will probably get replaced by a PC. I don't really want to shell an insane amount of money on a new Mac, especially in an era where you can't get one without a touchbar, and I won't get the convenience of a non-USB-C port.
some ISPs will happily assign public IPs to any hardware address that sends a DHCP request. This means while the network segments are bridged, all local devices are potentially obtaining public IP addresses and are exposed to the internet at large.

This is problematic if you have home network devices with vulnerabilities or services running on hosts with the assumption that the host will only ever be on a private network (unauthenticated file servers, etc)

There is also an issue with the number of devices exposed to the ISP -- many will issue an address to the first device they see on a link, then ignore all other devices until the lease expires or is released. That means your PS4 may get a lease before the espressobin's Linux takes over, and the ISP will ignore the subsequent dhcp request from the espressobin.
Using a laptop on the lap is a fine idea. It does not involve forearms digging into the edge of the laptop.
Rogan is not "right-wing," and people saying that have not listened to his views thoroughly. He is open-minded (sometimes to a flawed degree), and had Jones on and it was the funniest thing I've heard. Jones is a lunatic, and Rogan exposed that. The pseudo-architectural anthropologist was also pretty funny.
In the theoretical sense, yes. The usage in the here is much softer and less strict, not like in finance. I wouldn't get too caught up on the casual usage.

The article points out some very high visibility things that Ive was either responsible for, or at least signed off on. The author though misses what I think is the one that has had the most impact on people - Apple's insistence on removal of strain relief on cables.

Apple's cables have for generations now been fraying and cracking all because someone decided that strain relief was an unsightly and unnecessary thing.

It could be forgiven if it was on one era of products, and learned their lesson when people started getting electrical shocks, devices started dying, and things being set on fire - but no, they persist.

Even today they've only made the most minor of attempts at introducing strain relief.
