Around these parts, "Asian" is shorthand for "East Asian", ie Chinese, etc. "South Asian" is sometimes used for the Indian subcontinent, although oddly enough around here people from India often refer to themselves as "EI", meaning "East Indian". I guess it's all contextual.

For sure, Richmond is the most East Asian city in North America.

The 520/420 is also easily upgradeable - in my T520 running Fedora, I have:

- switched the i5 CPU for i7-2860QM, doupling thread count while mostly keeping per thread performance

- maxed RAM to 16 GB

- put in SATA3 SSD to the 3.5 inch position

- put in a high capacity 3.5 inch spinning hard drive to ultrabay instead of DVD drive

- put in a small m2 SSD to the SATA2 m2 slot because why not

This is still my main computer, driving two full HD monitors from its docking station.

This is incorrect. https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/200141480 explicitly stated that they track which seller it comes from.

They don't need to label each product, they just need to know which location it came from and store different sellers products in different locations, which they do.

Before turning, the time would be more like 8 seconds due to the need to slow down. It’s too long to be reasonable. And too much pressure to strictly adhere to the law would create perverse incentives to temporarily drop below 50MPH before signaling and to keep the signal constantly on in case one wants to pass a car. It’s better to have a reasonable law that’s easy to follow to foster a culture of high compliance rates.
Over the years I find myself often referring back to Numerical Recipes, The Art of Scientific Computation now in it's third edition by Press, et. al.

I realize that for practically any topic covered by this book that there are more heavily optimized solutions available in the best numerical libraries, but this book nicely rounds out my reference books with clear and easy to understand coverage of subjects I don't know. (e.g. Savitzky-Golay Smoothing Filters).

I enjoy reading this book.

>>>Case in point: where were these people prior to Blizzard banning the player? They weren't up in arms about companies supporting China.

I think a lot of Blizzard fans were "on edge" after the mobile Diablo game was announced at Blizzcon last year instead of Diablo 4[1][2]. It was considered to be pandering to the Chinese market at the expense of Blizzard's die-hard and long-supporting western fanbase. The "Hong Kong Incident" is just the straw that broke the camel's back.

You are correct, updating the UI and the underlying storage mechanism are almost certainly separate things falling under a broader umbrella of "lets change up Mail instead of fixing long-standing bugs".

I would really love to see every other major release of macOS and iOS to be a bug-fix release rather than a "lets change all the things" release.

That's unfair - they were only fined $67 million for fraudulent overdraft fees! Though I have to wonder how much they're currently making by inducing every one of their customers to write fraudulent checks.

Though there is something comforting about a predictably evil company though. Much more straightforward than "do no evil" while building a surveillance machine that would make a Stasi officer blush, or "this helps our users" while hindering Hong Kong's protests.
> A key problem with the complaints is that customer reviews don't† take into account the effect of commingling.

Why should they take comingling into account? Why should I, as a customer, care? I don't want to know the details of your implementation. I don't care. I ordered some stuff. I gave you money: ship me the stuff I ordered.

Don't ship me some other similar stuff that isn't what I ordered, and don't ship me what I did order but in bad shape. Ship me what I ordered and paid for, and ship it in good condition.

All you've told me with your statement is that the implementation sucks, and now you're trying to blame me for it.

No, I'm sorry: Amazon commingling sucks.

I know I sound grumpy, and will readily admit this is a first world problem, but I've just gone through nearly three weeks of arsing around to get an item returned substantially because of what appears to be a comingling issue[1]. Who has the time for this? Comingling sucks. It needs to stop.

All it takes is a browser exploit, in any OS.

What does the possible existence of exploits have to do with macOS being more secure than Linux? macOS can also have exploits.

I don't understand where your claim that there's a specific risk of unrestrained file access to websites comes from. In my eyes, saying that it could be true because exploits could exist nullifies everything you said.

You could apply that argument to everything: There is a substantial risk in iPhones giving websites unrestrained access to making phone calls on your behalf because all it takes is an exploit.
I am the author, and I may be guilty of writing an extremely long blog post; but judging by your response, you didn't bother to read it that thoroughly. The new layout in Catalina's Mail.app is actually my smallest complaint.

I don't like change when it unnecessarily breaks things that used to work just fine. I don't like change when it is haphazardly imposed on a yearly basis by a company which has clearly stopped caring about Mac OS as far as management is involved.

I used to like change more when it actually made me work better, when the advantages clearly outweighed the downsides, when progress and improvements were noticeable and thoughtfully implemented.

But hey, that's me.
Ignorant question: for the purposes of this article, are all clothes "fashion"? Are other things fashion too? Which ones?
This seems like an extreme example, to be clear, I don't think you should determine culture fit based off the word you use to describe basketball. So do you think there should be no thought on if someone will get along well with your team? Or is that counted as discrimination? Should we all just hire the first person who can answer a coding challenge that we run into? That seems like the other extreme end.
I always say, "Give me a platform that works, or the power to fix it, I don't care which." I'd prefer something that works I don't have to take care of... but when under the gun and IT has other priorities, it sucks.

> Technology changes. That's a fact of life.

Is it? It's not really clear to me there's any sort of hard technical limit that requires operating systems to abandon components that support older software.

There may be an economic argument that every team has a limited amount of attention and resources, and older libraries/apis/layers may compete with newer ones, and that argument may even have some merit if the newer stuff is categorically better.

But, OTOH, there's MS's backward's compatibility, so it's clear that some platform owners can bear the cost just fine. Too bad Apple just doesn't make enough money for that, I suppose. :/

Perhaps they could think differently and charge users who want to stay on older versions of macOS for the updates. That'd provide a signal of how valuable it actually is and perhaps even a supporting revenue stream.

Unless resources aren't actually the issue.

Real data required: How many people who experienced data loss or other issues have one of the following underlying conditions:

1. Creeping storage corruption that is exposed by the upgrade.
2. Latent configuration issues from running the betas.

Personal experience: I have had several issues with apps on a machine that went through all the betas. Had to spend some quality time with Console to sort things out. Zero issues with machines that upgraded untouched by betas.
I have had this debate with so many people, AWS is not cheaper than your own hosting. Period.

What you get from AWS is the logistics pipeline is already built as is the infrastructure should you suddenly require to serve factors of traffic more.

The ROI of AWS comes from the backend and capex vs opex debates.

Example : The CFO can go to the board and explain we are getting ready to reduce opex by laying off 10 developers at 150k yr during any meeting. The capex cost is usually fixed and hard to explain away.
There's a lot of space in between "Company X has wronged me" and "I'm happy with company X". I feel very let down by Apple right now, and I sense the author does too. As the saying goes: I'm not angry, just disappointed.

The fact that macOS updates are optional, and you can downgrade at any time, really does help a great deal here. However, Apple's three years of security updates per release isn't much.
There are some ads there. I don't think they have been very successful selling them, but it looks like search is cheaper to provide than it used to be.
See a lower comment I made here; what I really want is a little transparency about pricing.

Of course there are is an internal cost of doing business, and peripheral infrastructure cost - but if I pay $100 for service "A" I reasonably expect that fee pays for service "A". Instead, egress bandwidth costs seem to be used to trick customers into thinking services are cheaper than they really are.

Do people also assume that EM radiation is a linear no threshold? Because we know it isn't true for ionizing radiation, but it is a great model to use in practice because it overestimates harm (which we'd rather over estimate than under).

I've read a few of those papers on the EM radiation on mice and they seem to assume a LNT model, which doesn't seem all that honest to me. A few of the papers I read didn't have great p-values either and had drastically differing rates of cancer development for radiation levels and sex (IIRC one big one had high cancer rates for low power, nothing for medium, and moderate cancer rates for high power. Which there was no explanation to this. But that might have just been one bad paper).

Check out the Galaxy Tab S6 - it has a very nice magnetically attached keyboard acting as a decent cover.

And while this is one of the devices affected by the Linux on DeX depreciation, it still has regular DeX (basically a desktop shell for Android apps) and quite a few community maintained open source Linux chroots (such as Termux or UserLand) provide decent development environments.

Though there are some worrying developments recently kinda mirroring your worries due to Googles draconian security policy changes possibly making projects like this harder:

Sure, as long as they keep fixing bugs and issuing security updates for the older OS's. But Apple Support articles start with "Update to the latest version of macOS and try again"

There is also no particular reason that I can tell why certain features are only added to the latest OS, though we have become desensitized to this. For example - why can't the ability to extend the Mac desktop to the iPad be added to Mojave?

I can accept some of what is said on this article but from a technical perspective the internet (imho) offers much more opportunities to create and collaborate than any other time in the past.

I believe most of the shortcomings and abuse of the internet is a result of mass adoptation of the technology without correspnding legislature. Societies just haven't caught up with technology,even well seasoned technologists struggle to grasp the privacy implications and economic complexities at hand. There is also the psychological aspect where the mechanics of the internet are intangible and we have a hard time conceptualizing and grasping these complexities the same way we do tangible constructs. Imagine how complex a physical machine would be if it was as complex as a web browser,but we can see it and we can easily grasp the scale of the complexity and adjust our approach on how to use and secure it accordingly.

Money and corruption in politics is THE biggest issue of our day.

Money talks, and the more money you have the 'bigger' your vote is. If we level the playing field make all politicians financially 'equal' while running for office - then we shift the power from CEOs and corporations to 'We the people'.

It's not just some mantra. Checkout represent.us for some good videos on why the revolving door is a very bad thing and why they're pushing for and GETTING many anti-corruption laws passed across America.

Trump's entire existence is one big red flag about corruption and money in politics. He's made many promises to get where he is now including promises to rogue actors like the Ukraine and Russia. W/ anti-corruption acts he'd be in jail not the white house.

If we make lobbying and giving lobbying jobs to ex-congressmen/women illegal and we make bribery illegal, then we move the scale a lot towards an America that works for the people.

If you look at a graph of laws benefiting the people vs big corporations issues w/ money backing them always win over issues that matter to the people. Public opinion basically has a net zero effect on what gets passed in Congress.
