It’s startlingly good, even wirelessly. I spend a lot of time working between different offices, and being able to set the iPad up as a secondary display is very handy.

The iPad display also gets its own touchbar instance, and it makes way more sense as a thin touch control strip at the bottom of the screen than it does as a function key replacement.

West can be defined in terms of spin direction, but western ( as in hemisphere) requires a meridian to define the boundary. I'd have assumed that we'd have put Earth on the galactic meridian, much like the Brits put London on the terrestrial one.
In a similar vein, Built To Sell (John Warrillow) was eye-opening for me when I first read it, focusing on building processes and systems so that you can remove yourself as a roadblock to increase chances of success. Almost an “if you love them, set them free” philosophy and written in a very readable style.
I recently learned that many of the things we make out of plastic today were once made of paper.

If you're looking for examples of "long-lived civilizations" on Earth, you might be interested in the longest-living cultural institutions. Islam, Christianity and Judaism are such millennia-old institutions. And, a bit contrary to GP's point, all of them have, or had, limited bans on interest.

When many pointers point to the same memory then naked free shouldn't be used. Instead you implement a counter and decrease it (and free at zero when the last pointer dies). Imo code where a free is called on something other pointers point to is just a basic level design error.

In all seriousness, have you looked at OneDrive + Office365?

Dropbox has slowly but surely gone from a product I enjoyed and recommended to one that I actively dislike using.

Over that same time period, they have gone from being a consumer product to an enterprise product, because the money in file sharing software is in enterprise. Slowness, battery use, complexity, none of these are as important to Dropbox nowadays as they used to be, because they are not as important for enterprise sales.
There is no data on how many people don't choose to teach because of the perception of low wage and poor working conditions. I'm not even sure how you would measure that. I also can't think of another profession that has the same reputation. Most jobs have a reputation of either poor working conditions or low pay, or if they have both, are unskilled or low skilled positions. Teaching is the only job I can think of with low pay, poor conditions, and high skill required (a bachelor's+credential or master's degree).
Issue is that BLS data consistently shows teachers working 40 hours per week or less. For example: https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/03/art4full.pdf (PDF).

Anecdotes consistently run one way, while data consistently runs another.
Probably better to say "assigned male at birth" -- I'm not genetically male, but everyone assumed I was until I got tested after transitioning. The best medically relevant definitions are "person on testosterone", "person on estrogen" etc. There is a lot of suspicion that things like estrogen/androgen receptor binding affinity play a big role in gender identity and brain development, and we haven't even scratched the surface of that level of genetics.

There is no medically or legally significant difference between "gender" and "sex". You can get the sex/gender (different states use different terms interchangeably) on your drivers' license and birth certificate changed.

I often wonder how much of a practical threat the exploits which updates fix really are; it seems like the majority of them are either local privilege escalation or exploit a listening service, all of which won't much affect the typical situation of a single-user PC behind a NAT with no forwarded ports and a user who won't be downloading and running random binaries from strangers (a bad idea regardless of how many updates you install...) Fortunately, the truly scary scenario of an attacker taking control over the Internet of a machine that is just left on and with no action needed on the part of the user seems quite rare; in fact, something like that would be very memorable, yet I don't remember any in at least the decade. The closest to that would be Heartbleed, and that wasn't specific to Windows.

IMHO Microsoft really alienated users starting with Win8's horrible UI changes, and the incessant "telemetry" spyware that grew profusely in the versions after that certainly did not help at all to restore any trust. Using security updates as an excuse to bundle other unwanted changes is also aggravating.
I would have said the same thing in 2010 when I first started my business and needed file sharing/syncing in a small team. Everything just worked on Linux & Windows. Then they started tweaking everything, adding useless features, and it seems to be more of a hassle every year. But I'm still using it but if a cheaper, more lightweight service was offered, I'd probably switch.

I’ve used Amethyst twice before giving up and just going back to manually doing all my adjustments. I found it extremely wonky. For example, even after a user specifies their preferences, it will still auto snap after you make your own custom adjustments. Custom adjustments should always override the default snap-to-preset rules.

Maybe you found a way around this!
I see people are downvoting this, but I confess that "he chose Miami Beach in part because Florida has no personal income tax" in the introduction instantly rubbed me the wrong way as well -- and, yes, "buying something that looks like what other rich people buy because it's what he's supposed to do" seems fundamentally correct.

And, sure, #NotAllEntrepreneurs. But if this fellow dropped $20M in investments that returned merely 3% a year, he could pay himself a "salary" of half a million a year just from the interest. I'd really like to read an article some time about someone who walked away with a one-time payout of a few hundred million from a deal like this and said, "Hey, you know what, I'm going to put 90% of my new wealth toward benefiting others, and still have enough money that I'll never have to work again if I don't want to."

When updating files, first check for changes with something ultra cheap like an md5 then, if changed, do the "sophisticated" stuff.
I couldn’t find a citation in the article for those statistics, but they don’t smell right as an argument for teachers being oversupplied:

- If the argument is that teacher pop growth outpaced student pop growth, therefore there’s an oversupply of teachers, that includes an implicit assumption that the 1987 ratio was correct. There’s no reason to assume that’s the case.

- There’s been a great deal more attention paid to special ed in the past few decades. Changing special ed practices, like inclusion classrooms, also create more demand for special ed teachers to co-teach and work in the same classroom as general ed teachers. I don’t have figures but wouldn’t be surprised if that accounts for a chunk of the growth.

- > If class sizes remain at today's levels, which are themselves much smaller than in the past...

This, from the previous paragraph, is simply false. Per [1], student/teacher ratio in 1989 was 17.2, and in 2011 was 21.2 for elementary and 26.8 for secondary. Per [2] (Wikipedia, but it cites a real source), nationwide average secondary class size was 23.6 in 1992 and 23.4 in 2007.

- If class sizes aren’t shrinking, what are all these “extra” teachers doing? A few guesses: special ed, teaching smaller or specialized classes in wealthier districts, or there’s something misleading about how they’re counting teachers.

Back when I was teaching high school math in inner city San Bernardino, there were more administrators than teachers in the district. It didn't make sense.
I was curious about this too, so I read a few more posts on their website.

The article is about the latest prototype for a device that accumulates plastic for disposal. The idea behind it is to create U-shaped artificial coastlines that slowly glide through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and accumulate plastic for easier collection and disposal. Their first prototype had some defects, but this iteration seems to be off to a better start, and appears to be successfully capturing plastic.

This isn't a large scale operation (yet). It's a promising prototype. I'm excited to read about it, though!
Thanks. It seemed to me counterintuitive to respond to protests about inadequate services by cutting off another service (fanning the flames)
Standards actually help somewhat, since standards committees generally require that participants disclose their patents that are essential to practice of the standard and pledge to license them on "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory" basis. Of course, there is debate on what is actually FRAND. And other parties that are not members of the standards committee may claim that they own patents essential to the standard. But government recognized standards are better than nothing.

> As agents brought in the children she requested, Sevier said, the smell of sweat and soiled clothing filled the room. They had not been allowed to bathe or change since crossing the Rio Grande and turning themselves over to officials. Sevier found that about two-thirds of the kids she examined had symptoms of respiratory infection. The guards wore surgical masks, but the detainees breathed the air unfiltered.

> At Ursula, however, the children Sevier examined—like the panting 2-year-old—were “totally fearful, but then entirely subdued,” she told me. She could read the fear in their faces, but they were perfectly submissive to her authority. “I can only explain it by trauma, because that is such an unusual behavior,” she said. Sevier had brought along Mickey Mouse toys to break the ice, and the kids seem to enjoy playing with them. Yet none resisted, she said, when she took them away at the end of the exam. “At some point,” Sevier mused, “you’re broken and you stop fighting.”

> “They’re not death camps—not yet,” she said. “But the death camps that have existed throughout history often don’t start that way.

Are you sure about that? When the Washington Post says that CPS teachers make >$70,000, I'm reasonable sure (but not 100% sure) that's their actual annual compensation. When my kids old school district reports high-school teachers make $110,000, I know for a fact that's their annual comp, not something normalized to their "working months".

Iraq is an example of country with government that "Americans and their rich owner-class" definitely didn't want. It's democratic in the actual sense of the word:

-- It's a government that got majority of the vote.

This has little to do with corruption/accountability, iraqis tend to vote along sectarian lines. There are more shia, they are better organized, they win.
Then Iraq would have to make it illegal to own this sort of internet connection. A country like North Korea could do that, but not a country like Iraq or Cameroon that has some degree of normal freedom but intermittently shuts off the internet.

Ask HN: What's Wrong with Me?
In college I studied ME and graduated with a C average. I struggled.

After college, I taught myself programming. I started with web - PHP, JS, etc. Landed a job, and eventually learned backend Java. Did that for a few years, and then jumped into Android Dev. Been doing full stack web/android/backend now for ~9 years.

I lost my job (company downsizing) 2 months ago and I'm in the biggest rut of my life. I FEEL DUMB.

Every job nowadays requires solving algorithms. So I set out as a goal, to get better at algorithms. My progress has been absolutely dismal. After 1 month of trying to solve problems on leetcode.com, while taking a coursera course ... I am NO BETTER at solving these problems.

Every problem seems different from the last. Even if I can find the 'common thread' ... the solution is still generally quite different enough that I can't solve it completely. It seems I'm a "C Average" person, and that's just how it's going to be for the rest of my life.

My memory sucks. I forget solutions within hours of learning them.

Every day I sit down to study. I struggle. I get frustrated. The frustration causes me to get distracted, and want to quit. An entire day goes by and I will have only struggled through 2 problems. TWO PROBLEMS in 1 day.

Please, HN, what can I do? I'm desperate at this point to not keep sucking at this. I need to see improvement, but it's just not happening.

I very much doubt that Dropbox's target group are users with bandwidth limitations. Yes, it's nice to have features that minimize waste on the network link, but I'd bet far more people would trade that away in exchange for laptop battery life and a smaller hit on their CPU.

If they're only targeting that niche, then they have a business model problem. Make it an option ("Minimize bandwidth or battery usage?")

I think your accepting outlook of the situation will be the popular approach for the new generation from what I've observed. The "other reasons" have been pushed because of non-transgender people rejecting transgender people. There is a culture of God made you whatever sex and that's how it must be in your life. These people have had a very negative impact on transgender people and resulted in accepting/ trans people seeking "other reasons" in an attempt of more justification that's really unnecessary.

Well, in a post-truth apartheid, separating kids from their parents in concentration camps is A-okay and discrimination isn't discrimination even when it's obvious. Red means go and green means stop. What the court is reinforcing is: there are N >= 2 sets of rules: one for most people, probably one for the very poor, and one for the very rich. You can rape an unconscious girl behind a dumpster, and only serve six months if you're very rich. Or be famous and connected like Jimmy Savile, and then you can rape disabled children and never be punished for it.
