Yeah every time there is an earthquake they learn how new modern materials and construction techniques fail and perform worse than the previous ones.

Kinda of like how joints in steel frame buildings held together with stupid janky rivets would shift and creek during earthquakes while strong modern welded ones wouldn't . Progress! No wait that last bit is bad. The steel at the welded joint buckles unless carefully designed. Which they weren't for the first 30-40 years.
Regarding games, Apple Arcade seems to be just what the Mac needed.

I haven't evaluated the quality of available offerings yet, but they look good in the App Store previews, and I think they're all native Mac apps (not lazy ports), using Metal and everything.

Although yeah, you can't really own any of those games and will always need a subscription, and some may be removed in the future.
The government not allowing FB (a legal citizen of the united states) to use encryption is a violation of FBs right to free speech, exactly as if they did it to your grandma's home server.
I wonder why having having a voice ordering system by phone wouldn't be a valid defense for Dominos. Should the ADA apply to every channel of sales if there are supported alternatives by the same company.
Before 1984 there was no copyright on the contents of chips, it was completely legal to create masks from a competitor's chips and sell them - people used to create on-chip structures designed to fool the optical processes that were used to do this
You assume that a regime that does exterminate an ethnicity makes it appear from the outset as their ultimate goal. Historians of the Holocaust rigorously debate whether the Nazis intended from the start to exterminate all Jews worldwide. There's no straightforward answer.

If you want to know where the threat of genocide exists, you don't look merely at rhetoric. Genocide happens across several discrete stages. It usually starts with popular sentiments such as "you are not like us, you are not one of us", proceeds to "you may not live among us", then ultimately ends in "you may not live". China is at the step immediately before extermination. The number one predictor of extermination isn't rhetoric, it's ghettoization and internment.
When you plug in your iPod, it will appear in the Finder sidebar and you can sync there.
Also shoot whole new scenes for movies just for the Chinese market. I worked in post-production on Iron Man 3 and there are scenes that exist for that movie for China that don't exist in the US release.

Not sure if it's a contractual thing to get the coveted release window there or extra $.

Or look at The Meg, which was a US-Chinese co-production that was like a tourist video for Sanya Bay towards the end of the film.

But Hollywood isn't going to stand down over taking Chinese money. Right now, most of the money is made overseas on the big movies. Much like Germany was a huge overseas market in the 30s.
No, it was sarcastic.

I was in SF for the rolling blackouts in 2001 (and all around the bay area)

This is quite different, and the rolling blackouts were statewide.

Edit: The rolling blackouts were the result of letting Republicans draft hamfisted deregulation legislation. The resulting greed saw Texas energy companies fuck California about as hard as they could. What's happening now is also related to greed in that it's cheaper for PG&E to shut off power to prevent wildfires than it is for them to maintain their equipment. PG&E burned down huge swaths of California over the past couple years so they're being a bit more cautious now. The big difference is that while most inhabited parts of the state will want reliable power, the risk of fire is not equal. So where previously we all got fucked by PG&E's greed, now it's just those situated where PG&E runs high voltage transmission lines near combustible materials.
I understand why it benefits Apple. I think the idea that it benefits users by forcing app developers to write better apps is a load of nonsense.

Separately, I feel like Apple should deal with it. They're one of the richest companies in the world and they can afford to maintain extra copies of libraries, possibly indefinitely. No one is asking them to go full-on Microsoft and explicitly test against old 3rd party apps. But, Apple clearly doesn't care, and I can't do much.
The presence of two opposed positions does not imply that they're both equally plausible.

For example: one group believes in evolution, another believes God created the Earth out of nothing 6000 years ago. Without a time machine, neither one can categorically prove exactly what happened. But one side has mountains of evidence, and the other has dogma and ideology.

There's a lot we don't understand yet about how being trans works, just as there's plenty of gaps in the fossil record that we haven't been able to fill yet. But if you ignore all the evidence we do have in favor of cherry-picking only the isolated studies that might support your position, you're no better than the people who think that the scarcity of transitional fossils refutes evolution.

>He was not prosecuted for making a simple joke. He was prosecuted for bookending a video with the joke wherein the bulk of the video itself is him repeating 'gas the jews' and 'sieg heil' over and over dozens of times interspersed with Hitlers speeches.

The introduction of the video made it amply, inequivocally clear that what followed was meant to be taken as a joke. He starts with something like "my girlfriend thinks her dog is adorable, so I'm going to turn it into the least adorable thing in the world, which is a nazi". There is no way this can possibly be construed as hate speech in any shape and form (unless you think that uttering the phrase "sieg heil", in whatever context, humorous, historical, etc, is "harmful" in itself). This is the same as the people who object to the word "nigger" as racist, going so far as to censor Mark Twain-type books where it appears in a plainly anti-racist context, because that's how that type of people work: never any nuance, never any context.

The man and his joke poses no real credible threat. In fact the amount of serious, actual damage done by this whole affair, the thousands of people radicalised against the "politically correct" upon seeing these preposterous cases, the fuel given to reactionaries by these indefensible rulings... This actually did real damage.

>nazi pug

The dog isn't a nazi. The dog was... raising its paw.
It is this. ...but personally I think they're also trying to be obnoxious about it so that they can garner some political favor for state-backed liability protections or something to end the "blackout crisis" they're actively generating.
They're talking about between 1 and 7 days without power. It is possibly going to start Wednesday. Napa County is reporting they expect a 5 day outage.
Question, since a number of folks have chimed in about using various cloud hosted controllers: how do you initially setup the network (given that you presumably need the router to have internet access to connect to the cloud controller), and how do you handle it if there's an internet connectivity problem? My office currently has an internal network VM that runs the controller, and we might move to a Cloud Key, but I'm curious how folks handle having a cloud controller for their Unifi router when their Unifi router might lose internet. Or are most folks using the controllers to manage Ubiquiti wifi hotspots without using the USG as their main router?

We're a small shop of around 20 desktops or so, 2 switches, and 1 router, with a couple external static IPs. I can see the benefit for trying to orchestrate multiple sites using a cloud controller, but I'd be worried about doing it for a single site given internet issues, unless there's something I'm missing.
There's no pot of gold at the end
Sounds like a great start-up opportunity. Turnkey and ongoing accessibility compliance.
> The value of the NT kernel is absolutely enormous, probably on the order of a trillion dollars

No, the value of the Windows installed base is enormous. But that does not mean the NT kernel is the reason for that value. People, and more importantly large corporations that are the primary customers for Windows, don't buy it because it has a technically superior kernel. They buy it because MS has had lock-in on the PC OS market for several decades now, due not to technical superiority but to IBM making two bonehead decisions that handed that market to MS, and MS has used its market position to force PC manufacturers into bundling agreements that increase the cost of using any other OS to the point where corporations can't justify doing it.

In other words, the value of the Windows installed base is that, because of historical events that I would much rather had gone another way but that's water under the bridge now, to a first approximation, Windows is the interface that everybody knows how to use to use a PC. The point of my comment was that it would be an improvement to put that known interface that has huge market lock-in on top of an OS kernel that didn't have all the known security and other technical flaws of Windows.
Wow, I bet Venezuela wishes as a country that they did not announce the intention to sell oil in any currency. No one, apparently, is allowed to stop using the US dollar as the reserve currency.

As a reminder: early in George W Bush’s presidency, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia all announced that they would sell oil in any currency and almost immediately they were labeled “axis of evil.”

We in the USA benefit from owning the reserve currency it I am always surprised at how long we have kept this advantage.
Sure thing edmonddantes80, if the profile is right

Reduced heating costs perhaps? Heating from -40 to room temp is much, much more expensive than, say, air conditioning in the southern US. If you are not averse to sharing some walls, it makes sense.

Personally, I don't think I could go back to apartment living, but I will also readily admit that I am not a good candidate for "normal" in most regards.
Most of the medical community disagrees with you.

You're allowed to believe whatever you want. Science doesn't care about your feelings. Cherry-picking only the studies that can be interpreted to support your opinion, while ignoring the balance of the research that disagrees, makes you no better than the people who insist that archaeological evidence supports young Earth creationism.
> It's very interesting that "non-respectable" Trey Parker and Matt Stone responded in the morally correct way and the NBA decides to kiss the feet of despots.

Creators of one of the most effective US-centric propaganda engines in recent times have an opinion that sides with the main-line US narrative that's parallel with every other op-ed article being blasted across other well-known US-centric propaganda engines.

Color me surprised.

To be clear : I have no dog in this fight personally; but South Park has been pretty obviously 'narratively - conveinent' for years. If you want to know what their opinion is going to be about a topic before the related episode just open up a page of the NY Times and radicalize the most popular op-ed opinion to the Nth.

'Team America'ify any article : bam , a new South Park episode.

Anyone paying attention during any of the Bush era wars can see this plain as day.

"Let's portray Bush as a total moron so that we can play off of public disdain for him, but let's depict his actions as successful and 'terrorists' as 'the bad guys' and the US as 'good guys' , don't want to rock the boat too bad." .

Talk about having your cake and eating it too, they get credit for being some sort of anti-PC badasses while toting the US main status-quo opinions.
I noticed that in the list of counties, SF isn't there. That's fascinating. Is that because they're SFPUC?

Most likely San Francisco doesn't have the sorts of transmission lines PG&E is worried about. A fair chunk of the power lines in SF are underground, and there aren't that many places in SF with tons of fuel where you're going to see hot, dry, windy weather like you would in rural Napa or Contra Costa.
Expect to see a spike in Powerwall sales (battery storage in general really). You even get the 30% federal tax credit if included with your rooftop solar system.

If you have enough roof, and if your consumption profile is appropriate, you can run without utility power indefinitely.

Tesla already kicked off storm watch mode for folks with Powerwalls in the areas affected to precharge them to 100% prior to the scheduled outages.
You are overthinking this. If you have a VM running the controller, or a cloud key, on your internal network, you would need to VPN in to manage them remotely.
As far as I can tell, no one is arguing against identifying as LGBT in any of the comments here. Try to be more charitable when reading what other people have to say.
While on the surface that seems like a good argument, wouldn’t that mean that as long as they had Braille and a wheelchair ramp at their stores they’d be compliant? Etc etc
Wow, really? A whole day without power? This is actually gonna happen?

I went a day (well, 22 hours so I don't qualify for any compensation from PG&E) without power last month because PG&E is hilariously incompetent and understaffed. As was already pointed out, PG&E is predicting 5+ day outages for some folks.

I don’t think I’ll upgrade my audio Macs for a very long time past 10.14. The fact is that after many years of recording and mixing music on computers I’ve got several older plugins that are simply not maintained anymore by the developers and moving to Catalina will certainly break any projects using them. Sucks that with DAWs unless you run a completely stock DAW without third-party plugins you eventually run the risk of things going out of date / support..
I looked it up.

China's pigs average of 110 kilos. The only stat mentioned in the 'news' piece (other than things like 'up to') is producers wanting to 'increase size by at least 14%'.

Average pig weight in america at slaughter is 127 kilos.

The giant pig from the image is likely a competition pig, just like in America. As far as I know, it's not economically effective to raise pigs past a certain point if it's for meat production.

See how you were jumping to conclusions and even inserting things that were never mentioned 'in sacrifice of taste'? That's what I meant in my critique and why I called the style 'trash rag'. News pieces like this are filled with innuendo and are intentionally kept nice and broad so each person can read into it whatever they want.

Reminds me of the song:

We can do "The Innuendo"

We can dance and sing

I would argue that in an organization with 1000+ developers, trying to pick a single language is doomed regardless of what that language is.

Man that name brings back memories. Was anyone here involved in the iPod Wizard community? I was one of the guys that worked on mapping hex string locations to sprites and characters in each new firmware release. I wouldn't be surprised if I spent more time bricking and salvaging my iPod G4 with Rockbox, iPod Wizard, iPod Linux, and the iPod Wikipedia port than actually playing music on the thing. I ended up doing the same thing with the MacThemes community, specifically in mapping and documenting the iTunes files and enabling that to be themed. I really miss the time spent trying to figure out how to change a single black pixel on the screen that we missed somewhere or figuring out how to display gradients and images when all you have is black, white, and two shades of gray

Being required to behave civilly at work is not "tyranny." I don't know where you got "fined or jailed" from.
This is absurdly wrong. How about instead of trying to get some of the most educated people on the internet (who historically already have low birth rates) to stop reproducing even further, you instead redirect your efforts towards passing more climate-friendly regulations for corporations. That is the biggest source of climate change, not a niche group of people having some extra kids.
> Perhaps, but we do not know how much better it could be today if potential contributors were not dissuaded by the politics and behavior of the existing participants.

Do you know how many potential contributors you'd lose by forcing adherence to liberal Californian politics? Most of the world does not adhere to them, even to the less objectionable ones.
It seems perverse for Norway (pensions or SWF) to invest in fossil fuels of any kind. They have oil, so other investments should be at least diversified away from oil, or optimally with some significant element of renewable energy. In that way, they can stabilize future returns to the whole country and reduce the financial risk of a political escalation against carbon.
Ah, yes. Buy back your own power at markup while idling other power plants in order to not meet demand locally. Thanks Enron and the deal makers in the great state of California.
This made me think of Eve, too.

Same kind of intense involvement.

Too bad they're such a time suck... you have to have time for a normal life, or you burn out.
That's an indicator of wealth inequality, no? The top 50% are paying less as a % of their income, but because their income is rising faster (relative to the bottom 50%) than their total tax rate is falling, they end up paying more in total, mainly because the bottom 50% have less to give.

> 1. Germany was preparing for outright war throughout the 1930s. Conscription was introduced in 1935.Is China seriously planning to militarily annex Taiwan? Leaving aside propaganda etc.

China is one of those rare countries in today's world which has border conflicts with each and every of its neighbors and is openly ignoring international norms. On top of that I don't think that it is investing heavily in military just for show.

Ask HN: What are some fundamental books in math/sciences/art/social sciences?
I'm looking for some suggestions around the fundamental and absolute basic books that one can refer to for elementary to pre-univ education reference. I'm specifically looking for math/science/social sciences/literature and language (English)/art - the usual curriculum in schools. These could be ideally one book like (https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Physics-Understandable-Practical-Reality/dp/0935218084) or a handful. I'm not looking to be an expert - just looking to refresh myself in the absolute fundamentals of the various fields. I didn't do my schooling in the US but I'd love to read these to (re)acquaint myself.
I don't think that's a fair conclusion to reach. One channel can reasonably be done from home while the other requires going to the store.

I believe web accessibility is net good, though.
Quite different because badly managed infrastructure vs badly managed infrastructure?
Thr 2016 elections season was so darn good. Thats just my opinion as well. It became my favorite. I was never watching South Park like others did as it airs. I think shows like South Park you should have breaks on and then watch an episode or two on Hulu cause over time it does get tiresome. I can binge Family Guy and South Park but a lot gets lost compared to savoring it over time. Watched a lot of classic movies thanks to obscure Family Guy references.
Given that the kernel is open source, I wonder how hard it would be for someone to add that back in...
Yes.

That is its ideal goal. Since in today's world an outright genocide is difficult, it is settling for reeducation camps
>education

One of the Libertarian propositions to public schooling is giving a check to all children to redeem at any private school that passes some bar set by the government. I love this solution, since it removes the requirement for residency for admittance to quality education, and strongarms the schooling system to be more efficient and competitive in how they produce students (assuming that the primary reason to choose one over another is test scores). Primary efficiency would come from reducing the amount of faculty required to hire.

>gas/oil/electricity

I don't see how this is tied to the public sector directly, unless you're talking about the military and Pentagon specifically.

>healthcare

It's complicated, not going to flesh that out. In general, we have a fairly privatized health care sector compared to a lot of other countries.

>law enforcement

Mass shootings have a lot more to do with the overuse of social media and the underuse of meaningful in person relationships than it has to do with law enforcement.
Last year when they shut off power (north of the Bay) they were criticized for not giving enough warning.

I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be in this situation, but given that we are, I’d prefer the warning.

Agreed. Humor can’t take itself too seriously, and its best targets are people or organizations that do.

Humor with an agenda doesn’t work.
This could make a solid plot for a Tom-Clancy-style thriller novel. Imagine a group of ecoterrorists that hijacks these satellites and some orbital bombardment satellites and starts dropping bombs on the carbon "leaks". And then a certain Refraction Numeral counterterrorist group gets sent in to stop them. All interspersed with heaps of exposition around various organizations and military technologies that may or may not have any basis in reality.
