With USPS it will depend largely on how you send it. Priority Mail will be expensive (and fairly quick). A first class package (if you're within the limits) can be much cheaper if you don't mind the lack of tracking.

I mailed some 8x10s overseas in a rigid envelope and my friend swore up and down it would be too expensive ($30+). I think in the end it cost under $10 per envelope. Meanwhile international postcards from Germany were like 2€.
Anecdotally, I've had about the opposite experience. Never have been able to get a graphics card to perform well under any version of desktop Linux I've used, the sleep feature generally hasn't worked, fan control is all over the map, and I hate using terminal to configure everything. Windows has almost always just worked fine for me, as it does for ~80% of anyone using a desktop OS.
Oh yeah, plenty of control. Just book the afternoon off and follow this handy-dandy guide:

That's some real Newspeak right there.
Although Presidio would like you to think they are cloud security (higher margins) they are really just a VAR/reseller. Weak services but they will sell you stuff. So will I!

More importantly, this is proximate enough that they may sue for the name, OP.
macOS does not harass you about being the default browser. All it does is show a separator in the dropdown menu [1], which I've always assumed to indicate that it's "built-in". Meanwhile, Windows will show "Recommended" next to Edge, show a pop-up asking you to try Edge before switching the default browser, and then continue to harass you every time you use Bing from a different browser on Windows. Chrome does the latter on Google as well.

The "find it later" part is kind of important.
So in order to drive the yield curve negative, wouldn't that mean a massive increase in the amount of money going into bonds? So that they no longer have to incentivize people to buy bonds, but can actually make them pay to take them? And if there is such a massive increase in bond volume, where is that money coming from?
Ask HN: Who are the scientists and mathematicians to be following today?
We always hear about the old scientists and mathematicians who made groundbreaking discoveries. Who are the people alive today, doing work today, that are worth following?
As I understand it (and even though I live in NZ I manufacture in China and ship all over the world from there) much of the airmail shipping from China is essentially founded on arbitrage of the empty space in air-mail shipping containers from Asia to the West - it's while it takes a while and sometimes your package goes out of Hong Kong, sometimes Singapore etc

In essence those packets are cheap because some smart person is buying up the empty space in containers that are already going and filling them - I assume that Air-Mail FROM the US could be equally cheap if someone was entrepreneurial enough to do the same there
It’s great that the USPS employs people that way.

The real question is why are others allowed to do any differently.

Buyers voting with their feet will only go so far.
Thanks to poor recordkeeping and confusion over which aquifers had been written off, the state found more than 2,000 wells were injecting toxins not into exempt areas, but directly into the state’s drinking water aquifers. In 140 cases wastewater was being put into the highest quality aquifers...
A gas chamber is just a room for dispersing particles very finely. See I can do it too.
Looking at their "about us" page removed my confidence from their product. They should fix that asap.

For my data, I want reliability and security. I want something that has been battle-tested, and that I am confident will be around in a few years. This is why I went with Synology. Two guys in a "garage/bootstrapping" does not instill confidence.

I've been making my way through this course https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud923

It's about 9 years old I think so might be too out of date for you, but I've been really enjoying it. I think they have an advanced version of the course as well if you're already familiar with the basics
The most obvious change right now is Microsoft slowly changing over to the Settings app from the Control Panel. It's really interesting how many more items it gets with every release.

Sure, maybe the control panel was "consistent" in 2000 but it was always user-hostile. The settings app, when finished, will be much better for users. And if they keep the Control Panel around for power-users -- all the better.

I appreciate that Microsoft is doing good software engineering here; they aren't trying to replace everything at once but instead moving things over and releasing it to users early and often. This is the right approach. And yes, maybe it will be 5 years before it's consistent and polished but at least it will get there.
It's not about manufacturing, it's about shipping to end customers. Anything involving the USPS will have almost nothing to do with business-related shipping (b2b). Businesses don't ship stuff to each other with small packets, they ship large quantities in bulk. If you're worried about hurting existing businesses in the US, then stop worrying: US-based businesses aren't dependent on cheap postage from China on Aliexpress. Companies ordering parts from China are getting them shipped in shipping containers, or by DHL/Fedex, not by the USPS in < 1-lb packages.
My employer mandates it so I use Win10 at work. At home, I'm macOS.

I replied elsewhere in this comment thread that Win10 is the first Windows version that I found usable.

I don't game. So, I probably don't stress the os the same way you do.

I run Eclipse, an Eclipse-based tool called Anypoint Studio, Netbeans, PyCharm, various developer tools like Git, Toad, etc. Also, I run various MS-based tools due to employer mandate. Overall, it's a pretty vanilla setup but it's all that I need to write software for my employer.

We don't run VM's or containers of any kind.

My main problem with Windows in the past has been BSoD happening in the middle of testing software, wiping out my entire setup. Win10 hasn't done it even once to me. So, I'm happy with it.
Similar story in my city, though the library was built. Took 6 years, $46 million dollars ($10 million over budget), for a two story 40,000 sq foot building. It again raises the question of why projects like this are so hard, expensive, and slow in the US.
I recently returned a 13 inch laptop to Amazon from Hong Kong after they sent 2 and it was around $120 (reimbursed by Amazon - the original Amazon delivery charge was ~$18).

$370 did sound particularly egregious, but I just checked UPS' online quote site[1] and got a quote of $311-394 for a 5 pound, A1 sized package from California to Paris.

In my experience in Asia, Fedex, UPS, DHL etc. provide substantial discounts to customers with accounts, but one-off quotes to the US/Europe are typically very expensive.

While I agree with some points, the computer restarting, DNS not working, etc seem like restrictions implemented by your corporate IT - not issues with Windows 10
I can agree with you that it might be a more productive fast way to fix some of the issues, but the fact is that racism still affects even the well-off people of color. Maternal deaths related to birth are a recently studied example, as is upward/downward social mobility among the well-off.
To follow up more specifically - most of our schools right now are only using one or two of our products (scheduling vs. catalog publishing vs. degree program handling) but more than 90% of those schools are using that product across campus.

We're seeing a lot of schools now procure additional products once they enjoy their additional experience with us, like this school Laguna College https://coursedog.com/case-study123
It varies. I have two windows 10 machines that I use regularly. My personal desktop, which has been perhaps the most reliable and consistent computer I have ever owned, and my work PC, which recently attempted to update outlook, and in the process fucked my hard drive beyond recovery.
I mean the market has been solving the all mile problem with cars for the last 50 years. Outside of the downtown areas of ~5 cities in the US there isn't really a problem to solve.
Ah! I did misunderstand. Thanks for the explanation!
I can't figure out why you would need to re-format that often. Perhaps you have some kind of esoteric peripheral with a bad driver? I've never had such issues, even though I tinker with mostly-hidden settings and break things I'm not supposed to. It's not perfect, and I hate the telemetry, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.
I think that people who are eating lots of McD are probably not doing much cost-benefit analysis and anything under $20 for 10,000 calories will be where they go; to the place they have to travel the shortest distance to indulge at.
It sounds like you have some opinions on these things but didn't say what it is. Are those bad? Why?
shipping from canada to the usa is fairly expensive and slow (customs delays are fairly common). better to ship to a depo in the usa and mail out from there to individual buyers.
He was caught with actual documents and designs. He took more than just his expertise from his previous employer.
There a lot of whataboutisms here.

MS shouldn't do phone home, OSX shouldn't do it, and I'm pretty sure my work CentOS doesn't do it. This should be the default, and you should have to opt in, preferably for some period, for it to happen.

For ads, this should be disabled by default, and the user should be compensated in some way for receiving ads on an OS they paid for. Also, these and Candy Crush seem to be re-enabled after some updates.
>I stopped after people’s questions changed to “Uber, Airbnb, etc all succeeded because they broke the law. Why are ethics important?” and I had no real answer.

You should go back to it, as those are examples of why ethics are needed more than ever.

As someone in the "trenches" and who sees the damage done by them everyday, I'd suggest you can point to the trail of damage they left in their wake and the real lives that have been negatively effected.

In the case of Uber I would simply start with highlighting the number of drivers who now have criminal records as a result of doing nothing more than driving for Uber. How Uber as a matter of policy would fire drivers who were charged criminally for illegally operating rides for hire for Uber. Perhaps most shockingly for these students perhaps informing them of the reality they are far more likely to become an Uber driver than the founder of the next Uber.
It immediately starts playing for me when I press the download button (Safari on iOS), with the amount downloaded showing in the bar at the bottom like YouTube (edit: and saving it to iCloud Drive through the share sheet works as intended).
Counter-anecdote: I'm the happiest I've ever been with Windows both as a development platform and for everyday use. The release of WSL has solved a lot of daily annoyances, and I'm hoping that the new Windows Terminal app will soon be usable so I can replace cmder which has been great, but a little clunky and slow in my experience.

Other new features that I enjoy: Windows Sandbox, new Snip and Sketch, the current iteration of OneDrive (though I think I still prefer SkyDrive from many years ago..), Your Phone app for sending messages, emoji keyboard, clipboard history, local PIN instead of password.. I could go on but those are all things I use on a frequent basis and they make for a great experience.

Your explanation is completely inconsistent with the stated rationales behind the GPL: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

> A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms: [1]

> The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
> The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
> The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
> The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The FSF twice says that having "source code is a precondition" for the freedoms the GPL seeks to protect. And that makes sense. If what you care about is allowing users to "study how the program works" and "change it so it does your computing as you wish," mere freedom to reverse-engineer binaries is insufficient.

Indeed, your interpretation makes the first two freedoms meaningless. It doesn't infringe copyright to reverse-engineer programs for study, or modify them for your own use. You don't need the GPL to enable those freedoms. Those two freedoms only make sense if you read them to mean that users should be able to study and modify the program in the "preferred form" for doing so (i.e. buildable source code).

People who don't have any problems don't shout it from the rooftops. They just go about their day quietly and contently.

And if you start looking around, you'll notice that people complain about Mac OS stability and Linux stability all the time too. It's pretty hard to gauge reality this way.

I'm not going to sit here and defend Linux on the usability front (from the perspective of usability to a typical layperson at least).

Laptop support is definitely hit-or-miss, though it's come a long way in the last few years.

But once it works, it generally stays working.
I think the air/sea container will arrive in the US and go straight to the USPS DC, bypassing the US incorporation, US taxes, and US warehouse.

They will pay higher USPS rates, but that’s about it.
It's unlikely that this will be a precedent for companies "going after what is in your head."

The accusation is that Levandowski downloaded numerous proprietary files and plans, which is very far from personal knowledge.
You shouldn't judge the value of conjectures until you know whether they're true or not. Right now, we have no computable model for physics. NKS conjectures that some particular types of CA could compute our universe. If this turns out to be true, it'll be huge.
The notoriety of the Warren experience may cause institutions to require more documentation in the future. Then, of course, some applicants may experience the opposite problem: the admissions people won't believe them without DNA evidence, and then we have a Gattacca scenario. (from the movie about people's genomes being used in the hiring process)
> but the logical conclusion redefines 'severance' to mean leaving my head at the door on the way out.

Or just leaving the industry, or lifetime employment with a single company — hardly unthinkable; in fact, it was the rule in the US within living memory, and I've worked at companies where the majority of engineers were lifers. This would be a very favorable outcome for investors in your company: they get the fruits of your million-dollar ideas for the rest of your life, and they only have to pay you a somewhat-below-market salary, since you have no negotiating power to demand a higher one. It's not such a favorable outcome for engineers, or for hacking as a vocation or programming as a profession.
Just enough copyright is also a good thing. But the current duration is way too long.
Ironic coming from an MIT blog. Do they remember that Aaron Swartz committed suicide after being arrested by MIT police for "pirating" PDFs from MIT's JSTOR?
In case my wording wasn't clear enough: level of deterrent obviously shouldn't depend on your income, which this system roughly achieves. (Doesn't totally achieve it: a poor person can't in truth afford to lose any of their income, while a rich one could easily temporarily let go of over 90% without it affecting anything; for that I don't see an easy fix.)

As said, I can't imagine a moral justification for not implementing some similar scheme.
Yes, you are essentially correct - it was a well-intentioned reform that has not been re-evaluated for current times, or it is judges who lack personal finance skills or realities to know that the bails they impose are not realistic for those who appear in their courts.
I feel deeply sorry, for those poor consumers who are unaware of other OS's. It should be a duty if you're in tech, to advise your fellow holoi polloi about Ubuntu since it's the most consumer friendly distro. Everything now days is done in a browser so that shouldn't be a problem. & at those who work at capitalistic corporations push for electron apps or apps that can be easily bundled and installed e.g snap apps / flatpaks.
living in canada, I genuinely hope we follow suit and increase the cost of shipping from china to canada. It's encouraging incredibly wasteful buying patterns, and sets up a system canadian companies can NEVER compete with.
Is superiority subjective? We have hundreds of fatal flaws in our genetics. Would someone defend that those are superior? I'm not talking about subjective traits like hair. I'm talking about scientific markers of health, disease, retardation, death.

Not advancing this technology because of how it could be used seems awkward, like not making medicine because it could save bad people. Cutting our nose off to spite our face.
Also, Youtube facilitates IP trolls stealing revenue from creators on a massive scale.
I wonder what is the implication for this for people on the ASD spectrum.
We've used it pretty heavily at Drip for nearly two years now. It's been great for taking on some complex UI and making it maintainable.
Flawed analogy. If sweat was money you bet we would exercise for hours. Getting out of the vicious circle of poverty can be almost impossible, while improving your health is free.

Free but very, very hard because it goes against our instincts, yet easier than "stop being poor" because you're changing yourself, not your society.
Next year it will enter into force the IMO regulation on a global sulphur cap, vessels can only burn a low sulphur bunker (the fuel for a commercial ship).

The lax environmental laws also allow all sorts of products to be manufactured that would be uncompetitive here in the US.
That was my experience for the past 25years. I was the IT for quite a few friends, family and others. Back then I even troubleshot machines for some pocket money. The main solution was to reinstall Win. Usually a system became something beyond recognition so ressurrection by sacrifice was a viable means.
Mis-reply or spam? I dunno.
1. I don't comment on Twitter.

2. I have confronted journalists whose practices I disagree with when I meet them in real life, and in general their excuses are not impressive. Most recently I challenged Ivan Semeniuk, science journalist for the Globe and Mail, when he visited Perimeter Institute for "The Future of Science Communication", a panel discussion we were both on. (Semeniuk was endorsing a different common journalistic practice I disagree with, not the same as exhibited by Amir Efrati, but I can't share because it was a private conversation.)

3. Challenging Efrati would be like confronting every panhandler who tells a false sob story. Newspapers are full of this sort of writing, and you could spend your life objecting to it.
A GTX770 is the only special peripheral. I guess I can't rule out motherboard issues though, other than that when it used to dual boot Linux, the Linux side always ran just fine.
Would be interested to know the problem using Yarn, I know npm has caught up, but PnP looks nice.
We probably have similar setups. Built my current desktop 6 years ago starting with Windows 7. Use it mainly for playing games, but also for hobby software developer (so a plethora of software dev software and virtual machines). I have a the exact same OS upgrade pattern as you and also never have had to reinstall or have an update fail.
Isn't any fine revenue collection?
In this case the engineer literally downloaded proprietary files and took them with. You're welcome to take your intelligence and experience with you, you're not welcome to take the work product that the company you're leaving was literally paying hundreds of millions for.

I agree, but there is something lost in being able to walk the shelves. Serendipitous discoveries, but more importantly, when doing research, just looking at books in a section leads to interesting discoveries of related materials that you don't get when doing searches online.
I wonder if one could just stuff the tubes with hydrogen, then lanthanum powder, then just let them expand? They might auto-heat from the pressure, and assemble themselves, if you just unfroze them.
> culture is built around using a car to get to places. This article does nothing to address that

You should read the article.

compare the two first images on section 3 https://noparkinghere.com/#03 to understand why people take the car instead of walking to what is supposed to be next-door stores. Then remind that with actual density, your local gym/church/cafe will be actually be local, as in no need to drive to it and you still get there under 5min.
Earnings are visible in tax decisions. Dodging taxes is a crime in itself, and unrelated to day fines.
Almost all our European counterparts have #2. Most cities have parking maximums per building, and it helps limit the amount of vehicles people buy.

LA desperately needs for transit extensions.
Did I get it right that you're complaining about ICE not making enough arrests?
What browser are you on? Safari -> hold touch over link -> Share.. -> Save to files. Or click the video to start playing it and then hit the share -> save to files.
Actually, that nowhere place then becomes possible to develop. And that development will increase traffic, on the new road and on the roads it connects to.

That's the real reason you build more and wider roads. But it's for some reason sold as a way to reduce traffic.
Such studies aren't capable of determining that "racism" is the cause.
Check out other reports - he clearly was enabled by lary for a long time by letting him get away with anything (self-dealing, employee abuse, borderline illegal stuff, etc). Not surprising he felt invincible after this. Just like with social clusterfuck Lary bears at least part of the blame here.
I got my current job precisely because of my interest in Elm, and it's been a great job.
And you can witness the glory of swtch() and the original "You are not expected to understand this" comment.

Highly recommended.
