You can’t always judge quality right away. Tesla is barely approaching 1/10 of what Toyota sells in the US, except Toyota has been doing it for long enough that people can—and do—drive 20 year old Toyotas. And that reputation for quality is what keeps new Toyotas selling today. Tesla is approximately 20 years away from even being able to tell whether they can match that.

And there are absolutely brands that people shy away from due to the maintenance issues. Most people care more about reliability than about virtue signaling, flaunting their wealth, or being early adopters. Tesla can dominate those three markets and maybe give, like, BMW a run for their money. They’re almost selling as much as BMW now, actually. Good for them.
Here comes the overcommoditized corporate schlock. I hope it doesn't take the air out of the room for the independents. The best thing about podcasting is it's not completely overrun with corporate censors. That's going to be a change for the worse I suspect. We'll get a couple game of thrones caliber podcasts, but in return most are going to be housewives of whatever quality.

That is because 94130 is the ZIP code for Treasure Island. You've got the wrong address mate!

California St is at 94104

Please don't blame Apple Maps for user error

You're searching for "California St, San Francisco, CA 94130" and Apple seems to parse this from right to left. California Ave happens to be the closest match to "California St" in ZIP code 94130 and apparently is a stronger signal than "California St, San Francisco, CA !94130 but actually 94104"

As someone who uses Linux, I've found Blender + ffmpeg to be a powerful combo. Almost all of the videos on my channel use those two.

The video sequence editor in Blender is awesome for arranging tracks, audio, transitions, overlays, text, etc. And with ffmpeg you can move it to any format you need. To clean up audio I use Audacity.

I think you drastically overestimate the number of iOS developers. Or, more specifically, the number of developers in general.

Apple sells ~20 million Macs per year. If we assume that developers buy a new machine every 3 years or so, and all Macs are bought by iOS developers, that would be 60 million developers. There are on the order of 2 million iOS apps in the store, so I expect there are far fewer than 60 million iOS developers and the overwhelming majority of consumers buy them for other reasons. Hence the trend for features that appeal to casual users (sleek exterior, glossy screens, shallow keyboards) and not to actual professionals.

I think its great that most of the questions here are getting answered, but I'm still a little confused as to who this is for, and why adding bitcoins great great grand child to the project helps.

It doesn't look like its built for large data sets, since the capacity of the network is fairly low, and the providers fairly small. So if I want to store ~5TB of data, this isn't much of a fit and if I want to store ~5GB of data well there are tons of options and if I want it replicated, I'll replicate it.

Seriously though, I don't want to play game theory games with a list of storage providers, especially for tiny sums of data, I just want it to be there.

Having standard shaped telemetry for SDKs (via OpenTelemetry hopefully now) then allowing opt-in aggregation of customer views, either as an observability product to peers or to the providers is what I've been trying to get interest in for the last few years. Having consistent data to show cloud support is also helpful, even if only for one company, especially if you can show you're usually right. A short blog post on this I wrote a bit ago: https://lightstep.com/blog/tough-conversations-with-cloud-pr...
Even funnier, when a massive network outage occurs, cloud providers shrug and say "not my problem :-)"

Wow! How can someone have such a dirty keyboard? I would be more concerned about the exaggerated amount of particles in the air that I’m breathing if my computer looked like the one in this picture. I don’t know if the image is accurate, but in three (3) years of typing in a MacBook Pro with the same keyboard as the one described in this article, it has never gotten to that point.
5. Users eventually figure out they are paying way too much for random platforms they watch once or twice a month with the exception of a yearly season binge for that 1 show they continue to subscribe for.

6. Users begin to drop from platforms.

7. Platforms realize the masses are fatigued from dealing with 5-10 different apps, multiple monthly payments, queues, sifting through tons of mediocre exclusive content, etc. They decide to create a God Platform that manages multiple "channels" through a single subscription.

8. Users love it, flocking to the new God Platform.

The only tool in the audio toolbox is essentially the fourier transform.

It would be a game changer if someone were to come up with a novel method of decomposing audio into discrete components (e.g. people speaking, specific instruments, background noise).

Likely this would require completely new hardware to capture different audio attributes in addition to simply capturing a stream of vibrations from a microphone.
So...You shouldn't be able to protest something unless you personally experienced it? Like, if my buddy was sexually harassed, and I wanted to change the culture in my company to reduce the likelihood of this happening again, I shouldn't because I didn't have it happen to me? Your argument seems to be making a lot of assumptions that I don't share.
I do remember these 600-comments threads regarding net neutrality and how it will be the end of the world once repealed because evil ISP will charge folks for each bit.

2 years ago net neutrality was repealed.

1. Has anything changed to the worse, consumer-wise?

2. Was there any postmortem acknowledging the fact that the end of net neutrality, unlike predicted, isn't the end of the world?
How do renewals work? With S3 I upload something and then pay for it + bandwidth until I delete it. Would I need to know how long I need storage for ahead of time? Estimated bandwidth?

I run a video rendering service that currently uploads previews (call it 5-10mb) to S3 for ~3 days and then deletes them. Finished renders (~50-200mb) are stored for 2 weeks. I upload 500-1000 new files a day.

Amazon just bills me for this once a month. Would I need to load up a wallet and prepay each of these contracts individually? How would I send out a download link or play a video in a browser?
Luckily we don't have to speculate. See a web interface at [1]. Select English from the dropdown and it says that the closest word to king is kings and second is queen, then monarch. And to test my second statement I also tried "red is to king as blue is to ___" and got kings and queen as the top two answers.

Yes, seems like the primary example of the boxed for shipment to a store vs e-commerce. In the store, the books came in a pallet/carton set, and they are all pristine. Breaking that pallet and tossing it in a box for another shipment is just guaranteed to damage it unless packed diligently.
The cost to your business will always be greater than the maximum refund on the SLA, even if it's a full refund. That's why you're using the provider in the first place, since you can make more money than they're charging.

Amazon Prime lets you choose a "Prime Day" and when you place an order, you can choose to have it be delivered on that day of the week.

Not a perfect solution since sometimes orders come from different warehouses so are still packaged separately, but it's a pretty good way to combine orders into less packaging.
I’m not sure I follow the dislike of fate gates, especially how the author believes the largest rail transit systems in the world should use them but no one else.

GitHub has an interesting entry in theirs [0]. The only user that's in the Disallow section is "/ekansa".

This is a very insightful suggestion, thanks for raising that! We had considered many of these variants until finally, we concluded that fully open is the best way.

PostgreSQL (which is the database on fire right now) got to this spot by being fully open and permissive - and embracing all forms of competition. In fact, PostgreSQL got rewritten from Lisp to C (which begs an interesting question - what is a database? The code or the query language? Anyway I digress).

We felt if we want to build something as foundational as PostgreSQL for the cloud, then we need to be as open.
Typical US saber rattling...

It’s called dynamic ad insertion. Online radio stations use it all the time for localized ads based on IP address. Did some work for a set of radio stations in the way of building a diagnostic web player for the metadata in HLS streams debugging their new ad system. (Using HLS.js which I have to say I’m grateful for as it’s a brilliant library)

So they don’t have to stitch together one new audio file per local but place metadata markers in the audio file metadata that prompts ad insertion. These usually have a marker for length and the systems handle number of plays and placement spots. Don’t know as much about that end. HLS being a chunked format would allow the files to be stitched back together on the client end as well with ads in place.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing this. Also wouldn’t be surprised if many Podcasts are broadcast via HLS as it’s native in Apple software and Apple devices. Someone else with more knowledge would have to confirm or deny that, though.
Yeah thats pretty useful for some quick hacking, it is all lost on a reboot though.

I was gonna reply to defend the Macbook Pro, but then I realized the author is right, I did have to replace my Macbook Pro keyboard too because the spacebar key was stuck.

But whatever, I am not gonna leave my macbook behind just because of that. By comparison, my Macbook is still better than my work Dell Latitude (which costs the same) that sounds like a jet engine because the fan keeps coming on, battery lasts for less than 5 hours, wireless keeps dropping, and I occasionally gets the BSOD...

Nothing's perfect, that's just life.

To me, this sounds more like what a good CS Ph.D who spent his free time filling in every general CS knowledge gap he could come up with would know.

I feel like it’s all about finishing what you are saying calmly and confidently without necessarily getting louder. It might mean everyone doesn’t hear you but that’s not the point. The point is to maintain a strong social position.

I’m not sure going to a manager will work. That’s like saying: Rather than adapting my behaviour, I’d rather go to someone in the group who has power and ask them to defend me...I would rather improve my social skills and navigate the company myself. This would build my EQ and make promotions more likely.

But can we stop posting random blog posts about it? Unless the person has some unique insight into the problem, or ideas for homegrown solutions, let it be.
The real pain is that most of us think we ARE good at it. We think about our intentions, and not what comes across. Intent rather than impact.

But it's the impact that matters.
I think you mean it "raises the question". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

Edit: To whomever downvoted this: care to justify your action?
Sorry, yes, Burlingame. All the teeny peninsula towns tend to blend together to me, and Grainger shuttered its SF outpost. Apple Maps happily took me to the street behind the store where there is/was no entrance.

Even when I know the name I often have problems finding something in Apple Maps. Up in Marin, searching for "Apple Store" pulled up listings for the Apple Stores in the East Bay (the one in Corte Madera was significantly lower).

Or, if I'm looking for the specific address for the junk yard... for a while it would sort the results in seemingly random order. Right now it seems to at least be sorting by distance, but I think it default to heavily weighting towards what you were last looking at, which almost makes sense (but this seems to persist even if you move someplace else lending an utterly unpredictable feel to the results). This wouldn't be a huge problem but the distance is only shown for the top two results, and the city name is often truncated so chains will often be hard to distinguish from one another. Even better if I scroll up too far it backs out of the search itself and clears the search bar.

Edit: Oh yeah, and the deli was actually called a market (but I had also searched for market and only gotten results for Market Street).
I kind of disagree with your take here. This is just the segmentation of the market into aggregators and channels, just like what happened with cable and like is happening with OTT services today. Netflix/Hulu are good examples of aggregators condensing into channels.

The one thing I think that makes this different is that podcasts are stupid cheap to produce and distribute. You could put together a podcast network in a weekend. Getting sponsors is probably harder than getting listeners.

I honestly don't see the value-add of Apple throwing their weight into this market, unless they're planning on monopolizing audio content distribution on iPhones, or paying a lot more than the podcast's sponsor spots are worth. I'd be wary of being tied to a single platform for distribution, because that's played hell with creators on YouTube.
If your doing it professionally or even as a serious amateur its a "show"
You can try, but unless they (perhaps privately) realize they're part of the problem, I expect they'll end up verbally condemning interruptions while sabotaging any real attempts to curtail it, largely but not entirely by continuing to set a bad example. Is there a way to make this strategy actually work? By which I mean, have people actually seen it work in the long term? I'd love to be proven wrong.
As a shy person this is what I had found has been effective. By shutting up you give that person dominance and they usually continue to do it more. If you continue talking they end up looking like the rude person. But this technique requires persistence and doesn't always work. Sometimes people are just jerks (or don't realize what they're doing)
There's an option to report previous navigations. It breaks the route down step-by-step and lets you correct and report each one.

Where? If I go into the detailed list of directions nothing responds to taps and there's no "i" button, only a lonely "Done" button.
Try keeping a stopwatch in your head (think speed chess).

Start it when you start talking, and periodically make it a habit to check ("How long has it been since someone else talked?").

If it's been too long, wrap up your thoughts and pause a while before launching into the next bit.

It's usually obliviousness ("I didn't notice anyone else", in my personal experience), but it can feel very rude to others ("I didn't want to listen to anyone else").

All part of soft skills. We all get better together.

Choosing a Docker base image for your Python application in July 2019
Ha, I find it funny that you consider this to be "such a dirty keyboard", when doing a google search for "dirty keyboard" turns up results that are apocalyptically dirty in comparison to the keyboard in this article. This one isn't spotless, but "wow that keyboard is dirty" wasn't even close to what I was thinking when I saw that picture.

To answer your question more directly: my MBP keyboard is usually spotless due to my obsession with cleaning it, but even just spending half an hour working outside on a windy day, or using my laptop while at my parents house (who have two large dogs that shed a lot) will result in it looking like that. And to the article's point: such scenarios have lead to some very annoying keyboard issues with my MBP.
I've found that if you talk less, people will listen more when you do talk - provided you don't ramble.

Focus on being concise and formulating your thoughts while everyone else is hashing things out - then jump in with your clearly articulated thoughts at the end.

A lot of the time it seems people get cut off because they ramble.
Sometimes it's unfortunately just a personality thing. There are people that are notorious for just needing to be the smartest person in the room, and if they aren't checked, it's just going to be a sucky place to work.

I've had limited good luck dealing with them by asking a lot of questions, Socrates-style. Really pinning them down. Particularly if I have an opposing solution that answers my own questions better. This helps highlight the difference between the people that have legitimately put in a lot of thought, and the bloviators.

There's one person I've worked with that has me stumped though. They start talking, and then they trail off... not quite mid-sentence, enough so that you think they're done. And then I respond, but they immediately continue their thought, rapid-fire like they're pouncing.

Person: "and the JWT token doesn't have that field, so..."

(2-3 seconds elapse)

Me: "Well, I think we can handl--"

Person: "SO-I-DON'T-THINK-THAT-WE-CAN (etc etc)"

It's so weird, they don't continue their thought until I start responding. Every time it plays out like I feel like I'm the one that was interrupting, even though I know I'm not.
Many groups, including the EFF, engaged in fear-mongering claiming the most important reason for Net Neutrality was to prevent ISPs from de-platforming and censoring free speech. It turns out the ISPs never engaged in that kind of activity, and instead the organizations that increasingly engage in and rationalize such infringements are the ones that lobbied for NN.

Not sure about the claim that the moto crews are former pros. This was stated a few days ago on /r/peloton, but in a kind of hand-wavy way.

The guy featured in the article above does not seem to be an ex-pro, at least he has no profile on PCS. And there is this quote, although it refers to a photographer's rider: "With such potential for accidents, you might think that there would be a rigourous set of qualifications for motorcycle riders before they can share asphalt with the pros in the Tour. Not so, says Evans, who got his slot because his photographer ‘saw me riding through town traffic with a fairly exuberant riding style’."
