I don't see the contradiction here honestly.

The only tangible market for a Mac Pro is professional Final Cut users in a professional setting, no?

If this is hogwash, tell me so, but it just seems that any other realistic scenario that requires this level of hardware (like research, rendering and AI) would be significantly cheaper and better supported outside of Apple's ecosystem.

Short of having a pretty device to sit in a studio, what other reason is there for this to exist? (And how much of that audience is more likely to just buy iMac Pros).

As regards development - Most development tasks won't significantly benefit from the performance offered here, and anyone who needs that performance is likely going to buy something significantly better value for money (as regards tech specs) than a Mac Pro.

I'm not aware of any significant tools for 3d modelling or video editing (besides FCP) that are OSX-exclusive, and that audience is surely better served by a much cheaper Windows/Linux machine.

I think it is just sexual paranoia.

I mean here we are and someone somewhere happened upon a mailing list they didn't want to be on... looked folks up on facebook. Wrote a couple sentances on a blog and we're at "see something say something" and "The author spent a non-trivial amount of time researching the social media profiles and interactions in this group".

That all seems like a huge stretch that could create a situation where all sorts of normal behavior is scrutinized / fingers pointed, etc.
Certainly not, but if had it been only this, I would hardly remember it, you know. Being insulted isn't the same thing as being harassed which is different from being beaten and is different from being raped, then all of this is also different when it's one-on-one and when it's done publicly: being insulted, spit on and beaten to the ground in front of many people isn't the same, either. Circumstances, again.
Agreed, which is why I think going to version controlled, working UI code ASAP is key. Also my views are for super early UI design and development. For a mature UI like existing Uber or Airbnb app where larger teams (more than a couple people) are designing each little piece, makes sense to have more steps in the process and tooling like Figma to support it.

Shoiri doesn’t always work with Chrome. It doesn’t work with a lot of other browsers. It’s not dependable anymore if you’re not using the most basic or common browsers (Safari, Chrome). And whatever causes it to not work with Chrome for me sometimes.

I use either Spillo or Alfred workflows now on Mac.
You're getting downvoted for being incorrect and doing so in a way which has long been cliched. If you actually did your homework and made a spec sheet for an truly equivalent build you'd learn why some many people are tired of hearing lazy attacks repeated again and again.
That correlates with something interesting I learnt about leadership a while back - evidence shows that it's very hard to predict ahead of time whether someone will be a good leader from one context to another, with predicted good leaders often underperforming, and vice versa (might be a little out of date now).
Definitely. It's where you sit when talking to someone in the shower.
A principle in software is to never write the most complicated code you possibly can, because maintenance is harder than writing, and if you could only just barely write it in the first place, you won't be able to maintain it.

The principle for pilots is similar.

As to skills assessments, you're right, it's difficult. But you can use some general proxies. Certification pilots should be drawn from a standard pool, not a test-pilot pool. Some sense of performance on some standardised battery of qualification flights or simulator check-flights might be used, with scoring based on success or performance in identifying and addressing conditions encountered.

The fact that a precise quantity cannot be confidently stated doesn't mean that no quantity or range can be given.

And for the sake of the certification pilots, I'm assuming check-out flights would either be in simulators or with a more qualified check pilot assisting.
I only got 500 karma quite recently myself, though getting from 500 to 750 took no time at all. I think you could get karma pretty quickly if you really try hard for it by trying to get to posts as early as possible and saying the obvious thing that everyone is thinking, but I don't think you could really scale this up to a meaningful number of accounts.

I don't think you could really do much damage, also because posts themselves (as opposed to comments) can't be downvoted (unless that's behind some other karma milestone I can't reach yet).
You are basically adding an address to TCP (the UUID) that names the host... Moreover, what happens if the connection fails during setup? A lot of edge cases here.
To accomplish those things, you'd need to elect people who want to do that. Good luck with how the Senate is elected, and the electoral college.

It's not "the elites", it's who people are voting for.
It may be. I was thinking of standard warranties, though. I'd expect a business warranty to be different.
Hah, I agree...But, on the other hand, you can carry it when needed, and I do regret not buying one of those for work instead of Razer Blade, "because it's thin and light" - it gets overly hot and noisy when doing heavier work and is definitely not up to par to these...
IntelliJ does that for Java these days too, and I love it.

I'd rather have syntax-level support (works with ctrl+f, works outside IDEs, works in IDE when auto-analysis is broken), but if IDE support is what I can get, I'll take it.
Brexit related stress is very real, especially for residents who are EU citizens who may be very long time residents but haven't ever thought of the need to get official residency.

Except that there have been multiple upgrades on the original Bitcoin chain. The software is on version 0.18. While preserving backwards compatibility, today bitcoin includes Segregated Witness, which separated the constraints on unspent transaction outputs from spending transactions (this also solved the transaction maleability problem). That upgrade alone showed us that changes the majority of network participants accept can be upgraded, but even when a strong consortium of powerful merchants or mining groups tried to force change, no one group could---though folks argued and tried to change it for more than two years. There are multiple stakeholder groups who have to form consensus for upgrades: protocol developers, application devs, network security folks(i.e. miners), full-node users validating transactions, merchants accepting payments, and users choosing wallet software; thus, upgrades are hard but possible when really necessary.

Network forks simply show that the entire system is voluntary and non-coersive: if you disagree, you're free to built an alternative with like-minded people. But if the economic activity doesn't follow you, you're left with a not much more than a free software project.
Sounds like FAA & Boeing are trying to place blame on pilot error for the MAX crashes, to deflect attention from the MCAS issue and the FAA's failure to notice it.
I agree with the conclusions as the majority of aircraft accidents are pilot error, but in the case of MAX there is nothing the pilots could have done to save those aircraft.
5-8 years ago, Clojure was constantly on HN! Then it fell out of HN attention.

Watching you edit this, this went from a rant I thought it might be worth responding to, to flame bait.

I hate the defeatist attitude and rewriting history as if there hasn’t actually been incredible progress on so, so many fronts.

There are interesting and important discussions to be had here, but not from this starting point.
This still runs on software, so this protocol is controller by a one party: a software developers.

The whole history of cryptocurrency forks shows this very nicely.
I like those API's much better for reading, but when there are issues with them, like you say, debugging is often a right pain compared to the other examples. Especially when a chain became a bit too long (over time) and there is suddenly a null somewhere (for whatever reason). VS indicates the error in the first line of the chain and debugging can become quite hairy.

Is that better in other language runtimes/debuggers?
Most rape laws do recognize a spectrum: in the teens, it is generally not rape if the two people are close enough in age.
Cognitive scientists sometimes use term nonconsious as instead of unconscious.

The concept of unconscious is not controversial. We simply don't observe much of our own actions or body to be aware enough to make decisions. Most of our cognitive processing is non-conscious. Toughs just pop into our consciousness seemingly from nowhere but are somehow relevant to the task. We can walk and drive around without paying attention while listening radio or podcast. Learning new tasks require more conscious processing. When we have learned stuff it can happen without us paying any attention to the details.
He went public after the DMR asked him about it, to get ahead of it. At that point they could have left it out of their yet unpublished piece.

Absolutely fair points and I totally missed the advanced search bit - you are 100% right there.

But, to that point, wouldn't it suggest even more bias if someone were simply searching: @SUBJECT_HANDLE + <RACIST_OR_SOCIALLY_UNACCEPTABLE_TERM_KEYWORD> ?

To me, that seems like the definition of digging for dirt. But, I guess it depends on who's side you identify with more.

I would totally be fine if they could present some sort of SOP or protocol for doing their social media background checks in a standard way. I've seen nothing like that.
Seems like it! Very nice product.

Unfortunately, getting people onto sides is part of candidates plans and execution. People are being lead into this mentality on purpose.
Just based on the experiences I have with them, I feel like the Big Problem with recommendation engines is that they're bad at teasing out why somebody liked something and end up falling back on an obfuscated equivalent of P(likes A | likes B), which ends up dominated by people obsessed with a particular genre, franchise, or theme. Or worse, it relies on extremely generic tags. If you buy, say, Steins;Gate and Rosenkreuzstilette on Steam, it's going to keep recommending the most garbage VNs and PG-13 nukige on the planet until the sun explodes because you obviously like VNs and anime (as opposed to quirky sci-fi stories and Mega Man).

There's a paragraph about this in the article that discusses automated identification of clusters, but it makes it sound like there was a lot of human judgment/guesswork in figuring out why any given set of movies clusters the way it does.

iBoot and BootROM is different. iBoot is software (patchable) while BootROM is read-only. Otherwise, agree! It's really a big achievement.
> Politics are impossible to escape

That's a bold claim to put in the title but I believe it's generally true unless you're in a position to not have to directly deal with paying taxes (homeless or so rich that someone else deals with it for you).

I would consider myself to be extremely unpolitical. Honestly speaking I don't even know who my state's mayor is, I never voted and I don't listen to the news. I simply don't care about any of that stuff because I know as an individual it's close to impossible to change anything due to how politics work in the first place (it follows money not popularity).

However, when it comes to paying taxes or health insurance penalties you can't avoid thinking about or dealing with it and it's stressful even in those short doses of having to deal with taxes a few times a year (quarterly taxes).
As far as I understand it, user data is still encrypted and the key is protected by the Secure Enclave, which is not affected.

This exploit allows flashing unsigned firmware, so by stealing the phone the attackers won’t be able to decrypt your data, but an evil maid attack is now (or will be) feasible.

Also, stolen iPhones are now more valuable, as you will be able to bypass iCloud Lock.
I can use this.

I make prophecies. I write them down and seal them in envelopes, then I wait. When one is proven false, I just throw it away. When it comes true, I put the still-sealed envelope into an old shoebox.

My posthumous autobiography is going to be filled to the brim with stories of receiving messages from beyond, writing down what the voices say, and putting the notes in sealed envelopes inside a shoebox.
At this point, I'm surprised people don't routinely go in and look at what they've written in the past and get rid of this sort of thing proactively. Though I suppose a person who writes these things may be the type that wouldn't think to go back like that.

However, I believe that as a society we need to realize that people can change. The issue of gay marriage is a case in point: We didn't get to this level of support just by having older folks die off with younger more accepting folks left to support it. Prior to these systems, a person might have been homophobic a decade ago and reconsidered their views since then, only you'd never know it-- you would only be left with their current actions to judge them. In my view that's much more important that what they believed 10 years or even 2 years ago.
Just turn on most TV news networks.

It's the Apocalypse about everything all the time. Everything is tied together. You've got "experts" willing to make dramatic statements about anything at all. It's always "those people" causing something.

Nobody sets any context. No real information is presented. It's just paranoia and panic made to hook people into watching more.

I always have this fantasy where I start my own TV news network and it's "just news". If the topic is complex like something about the separation of powers, we do a little intro to that, then the news. I'm not sure it would be popular, but at the same time, i'm not convinced it wouldn't be considering the competition.
Why doesn’t the same principle apply? One pilot is very good at one skill, another very good at some other skill. There exists no mean pilot that is fairly good at both, so designing or testing for that is a bad idea. Replace body dimensions with skill sets and it’s the same issue.

I've pretty much stopped taking in "the news", TV, internet even my home page is just a relaxing picture. Honestly, I feel way better and have realized how little "news" I need to know. Even on HN, I avoid political posts. Any news that I actually need to know comes to me via friends and family.
Bob Woodward was right. Much of the left is simply “unhinged” over Trump. Some of the antiObama stuff was bad, but the last few years have been pretty incredible.

But, DO NOT expect users to Sign-up first to try what it does. My experience with SAAS products (I created https://extracttable.com and nextround.ml, notyce.me) is the high visit to sign-up conversion when you provide a demo UI on the site, with NO SIGN-UP needed, upfront.

Diff: extracttable without demo 29 sign-ups in 4 weeks + 0 paid, with demo 31 in 2 weeks + 18 paid users. Not just sign-ups you get the paying customers much faster than you would expect.
I definitely agree the tooling for modern JS can be a huge PITA. Once it's all setup life is great and productivity soars but I completely sympathize with beginners feeling lost and even experienced devs turned off from the opaque complexity.

There is an unavoidable obligation for companies to make money. That may or may not involve providing value to you, or any net value at all.

There are plenty of companies that provide negative value to some of their stakeholders. If you imagine adding up all the value provided to the primary and secondary stakeholders, for some companies this sum arguably ends up being negative. Business models where that sum ends up strongly negative tend to be banned quickly, though.
I don't see a claim that this circumvents secure enclave or device encryption, so I don't think it's possible to "do anything" to an already locked and encrypted device?
You literally just did do that! My point is that either everything is or nothing is. You can’t say your friends controversial statements are metaphorical while damning your enemies for the same things.
Creepiness is in the eye of the beholder, considering that one of the ways to get rid of it is to remove the people who think that a certain action is creepy for example.
Reality is more complex than that though - just like it would be a net-negative to remove a victim of constant harassment in order to reduce creepiness it would also be a net-negative if we removed someone who asked someone else once on a date because someone found it creepy.
But the Bitcoin Cash devs can't force anyone to use their fork. Users are still free to run the software or not.
I keep seeing this argument everywhere (basically whenever anyone is criticized for a past Tweet or FB post), and it's really confounding to me. Perhaps it's that many of the people making this argument have grown up as part of the 'social media generation' and are therefore more apt to identify with this sort of thing? I grew up during the dial-up days and was always taught to be careful with what I did and said online, as far as it was attached to my name. Has that knowledge been lost?

> And finally, norms have changed drastically over the last decade.

You're so right, but I'm not sure that it's in the way you think: in what other period of time, and in what other sphere of social life, have past actions not mattered?

You're presuming that he has 'grown and matured' and is therefore beyond reproach; did he offer any evidence that he has changed, or is the mere fact that his behavior is from 'several years ago' what makes you take up his cause? If I yelled racist and homophobic things at people ten years ago, does the passage of time alone make me 'innocent' in your eyes?

> teenagers a decade ago
> I think it's foolish to hold historical figures to today's societal norms, and I think the same about any of us a decade ago.

We're not talking about a teenager saying something 'a decade ago;' this was only several years ago, and in a similar job. He is young, yes, but does that mean that his professional conduct does not matter? At all? Because a couple of years have passed? He didn't know that being hateful and shitty to people was bad then, because his cultural context was so different? I call bullshit on that.

The author of this pieces makes the same assertion about King:
> decades-old tweets

Twitter has been around for 13 years. There are no 'decades-old' Tweets, period, that anyone has been attacked for, ever. It gives the impression that it is in the much more distant past than it really is.

I know that I'm pissing in the wind of the prevailing attitude that what's said online is somehow sacrosanct and should be free of criticism, but I find the conclusion that we can't judge people on their past ONLINE actions, specifically, very fucking strange and self-serving.

> wisdom in Christ's words

If you want to be Christ-like, try not saying hateful things online AT ALL. I'm pretty sure Christ wouldn't have said, "Let he who is hateful be without reproach because it was funny at the time."
This seems like a good thing, they should be testing with people who don’t know the answers. Though I can’t help but wonder if this is a very subtle re-framing of the Max accidents to shift blame back towards pilots. This approach of a regulatory agency recommending “average pilot” testing makes both the agency and Boeing look good, and tends to downplay the fact that Boeing intentionally avoided training the pilots, and that the system was only recoverable if you had some extremely specific knowledge. This wasn’t an issue of the quality of the pilots, this was an issue of the quality of the training, which we know was kept from all pilots to attempt to save time and money.
Isn’t that inserting yourself into the story?
