Chicago is far more diverse than that. There's a huge black community. There's a gigantic Puerto Rican and Latin American population. A sizeable Asian community. Hipsters. A steady influx of wide eyed Midwestern kids arriving every fall. There's plenty to write about, like a corn fed Americana noir (if such a thing doesn't exist already). It's lack of perceived weirdness is pretty weird for such a large city
Having everyone wear some high tech impressively synchronized googles would be cool and all, but why not just use an opaque or reflective cover?
Interesting orginization. The "just a Newspaper" cover is getting old though.

Someone who read it, is is suitable for a complete beginner with some math background?
I also tried using Ubuntu with i3 for several months. I went back to an iMac, for two reasons:

1) a 5K 27" screen means I can have 3 or sometimes even 4 columns of code on screen in my Emacs at the same time, and there is no way to get 5K with a PC

2) the totally broken clipboard in Linux causes constant annoyance: I want reliable, predictable copy/paste for text that works the same in every application, with the same keystrokes, and that does not auto-copy on selection (this is important, because I often want to paste OVER a selection)

All the other complaints I had were minor: I was able to somehow get the hardware to work, I did not connect external monitors (which has always been a disaster in Linux), stuff mostly worked. But these two were showstoppers.
I used to walk my self to school at 5 - the trend for helicopter parenting has gone to far
Science is all about gathering data. Theorise all you like; but if the theory can't be tied back to data at some point in time then it is at best maths or philosophy.

Experiments and dispassionate language are about gathering clear data and representing it accurately. Claiming that science is all about "clarity and economy" is ironically unscientific - if nature is unclear and uneconomical then good science has to represent that too. That part of science isn't taught as much because it takes longer to communicate. Ignoring data, such as from your senses, is also not a good scientific idea.

Being unscientific is ignoring data. There are different standards and a bit of judgement about what quality of data and how relevant it is, but ultimately the person with the most relevant and comprehensive data on a subject is the 'truest' scientist in a very meaningful way.
Have you forgotten about the release that melted hardware?

Melted.
During my time at Caltech, there were the premeds. They worked very, very hard, because they needed the grades to get into med school. They weren't a real happy group of students, not many envied them. I feel any money they made after all that they earned.

Many of the engineers went on to become quite wealthy from their startups.
It seems circular to me. It relies on ||x||² = x·x, but the fact that ||x||² = x₁² + x₂² = x·x comes from the Pythagorean theorem.

Containers are not a magic shield that protects you from all attacks. You should still be wary of what you're running even with the additional protection they offer.

Apple meanwhile created the entire OS and all of the developer APIs that your apps rely on, including things like Metal that games rely on. And Apple gives this all away for free.
So Apple is the modern Elsevier? Asking high prices for peer review.
If the human review is the reason for the 30% cut why not charge a flat fee per review? I doubt that's the reason for their cut.
True story: inspired by some dude on the internet, I thought I'd try my hand at "predictions". I made a post with my technology predictions for the next 10 or 15 years (not 50, I'm not THAT naive).

I don't have a personal website, so I placed that post on Google+, to have it for future reference. Boy, do I suck at predictions.
A way to synthesize arbitrary chemicals in a printer is worth trillions of dollars. It goes well beyond pharmaceuticals, but for a start, it would drive healthcare costs down to basically free.
A couple of dozen meters? Wiring? Encased in concrete? Five to ten meters of zinc coated 30x5mm flat bar steel bound to three to six 3/4" rods is usually enough depending on the soil characteristics. And it's usuall buried directly in the soil next to or around the bulding. I wonder what bulding codes you've got there.
Nothing will change significantly over the next 50 years, despite people constantly predicting otherwise.

My personal take is that we've reached peak humanity. Without some large shock to the global eco-system there will be no significant progress in anything meaningful. The 20th century only resulted in major advances in many fields of research due to two world wars. War is the driver for change.

If you want a better human race, have another war.
What is severances for if not for redundant positions
In France there might be another dominant selection process other than cost (e.g. attending the 'right' schools, which again might be a matter of what connections you've had, or if you can afford to live in the catchment area).

For example, I've known people who have been hired at very prestigious law firms, and told outright that they were pleased to see they attended a "very good" (i.e. elite) high school.

Meanwhile, in the USA a friend has to deal with $300k+ costs of pursuing Medicine while living in the Bay area. They are from a wealthy family though.
You could create two versions, one crippled for the app store and another that you actively market. There is no point giving Apple 30% if you are finding the customers yourself.
Was it referring to browser.xul? There’s no XUL left, so you might need to change that to browser.xhtml.
Nothing of real significance will happen. I know this for a fact this because in 1967 I wrote about 2017. Nothing become true, Finland does not have Space Forces, cars do not fly, lasers do remove space junk from orbit etcetc.

The Lasering of space junk was part of Finland's 100 year celebration, instead of fireworks the worn-out space-vessel "Kokko" was destroyed with lasers.

Back when I worked for a large telco we had a training film about why you should never look up data on our systems for a "friend" and there was a real case of this happening.
I also highly recommend Fedora. The polish is far higher than Ubuntu.
snap and flatpak certainly enforce sandboxing.
This is a problem we've actually encountered in practice: you need to preserve the conversion code for as long as the history exists, which is permanent technical debt. If you get your domain model wrong at the start, it will haunt you forever.
I only have experience with Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Amsterdam; but if you sit outside of a daycare in those cities in the morning you can see the multitude of people who ride their bikes to drop off their 1, 2, and sometimes 3 kids at daycare. Those cities do cycling right and it shows.

So I would disagree with you. The traffic problems are caused by having cities that are only setup to make cars convenient and everything else inconvenient. Cities that prioritize the lowest bandwidth people mover are going to have major traffic problems, of course.

Like you say, people want convenience. But I don't know why you think they particularly care about driving (or cycling or walking or taking the train). They just want the most convenient & cost effective thing. If that's a car, they will drive a car. If that's cycling, they will cycle. If it's the train, they will take that instead.

On practically every measure, owning a car is far less convenient (unless you live in a city built around driving cars) and more expensive than not owning a car. We owned a car in Germany but only used it for weekend trips. So the point here is to change cities to not be built around cars. Make cars less convenient.
Steam's cut is now 20%/25% depending on how much you sell. Pretty much applies only to big AAA/AA games. [1]

Sell them, obviously. The fact that we are even talking about this issue reveals that TechCrunch is eager to show off that they know in advance!

It can always be considered as "I got this info from TC, never mind my insider trading"
> Apple takes 30% and that is not sustainable to run a company and pay salleries

Oh, guess what? Apple also has to run a company and pay salaries. Who would've thought?
1) developers won't be needed anymore (https://medium.com/thron-tech/as-a-service-offering-is-chang...)
2) population decline will be huge, but not for the reasons most ppl talk about. It will be because we will reach a "good enough" sex robot and that will end most physical relationships between sexes
3) there will be just one or two languages in the whole world, with a huge loss in diversity from a culture standpoint
4) we will be augmented with tech and bio implants to enhance our perceptions (better sight and hearing). Genetical imperfection will be only for poor people
5) cars will be disappearing in favor of "transportation pods" that will act as "transport-as-a-service" elements.
6) HUGE wars will arise because of the crisis in capitalims. Work won't be a reason to get a salary anymore, this will lead to the biggest social crisis ever
and many more... but i'll stop here :D

If the argument is that it's unbearable to commute by bike in scorching heat, I would argue you could still bike and ask your employer to install showers at your workplace. That's how it's done in the Netherlands, where most (modern-ish) offices have showers next to enclosed bike parking facilities.

Possibly true for the horrendous muzak-like audial otyughs known as chart music. People will never cease to make artistically meaningful music, though.
You don't need air-bags if you don't have cars. You'd also have less obese people if they would ride bicycles. Car is not a solution - it's a cause of problems.
Sentiments are not dangerous. Textual expressions of sentiments are not dangerous. Real-life consequences are. But often those consequences are not a direct result of sentiments, but of an underlying socioeconomic problem of which poorly articulated sentiments are often mere symptoms.

Suppressing the symptoms and pretending they don't exist won't make the root cause go away. If anything, it will only make the eventual consequences hit us more violently. People will say that the blow-up was sudden and unexpected, but in fact they've been ignoring the warning signs all along.
Some quick digging regarding proportion of use of crude for energy vs chemical products:

"This demand for chemical products has a direct impact on energy demand (and consequently CO2 emissions). The sector accounts for approximately 11% and 8% respectively of the global primary demand for oil and natural gas."

https://www.iea.org/newsroom/news/2018/june/commentary-from-...

So my 99% and 95% estimate was way off, if I'm reading this correctly - which I may not, as it seems to be referring to energy used to create chemical products, not necessarily the proportion of oil used as chemical precursors. Best I can find though.
I have been told by multiple sources that Apple engineering salaries are not competitive with industry leaders and haven't been for a long time. I wonder if the dissolution of the Jobs anti compete agreements exacerbated the issue.

However Apple seems to be willing to pay for highly sought after skills.

I have also been told that they don't have company level hiring standards so you should expect uneven abilities across different teams.

I have also been told that things were being rewritten or rather that Apple likes to rewrite. Apple doesn't seem to be very good at limiting regressions caused by these rewrites.

That's why there are so many crashes across the board. The crashes are caused by bugs or changes in behavior in common frameworks. This seems to jive with the author saying that Apple doesn't do enough automated testing.
Not sure I've ever before seen a hackernews post so condescending and passive aggressive:

> I'm sorry you feel so defensive and feel such a strong need to justify your choices rather than contemplate the possibility that some people who disagree with you have a fine parenting track record, have been at it longer than you and have thought a great deal about some things.

> I know this is a touchy subject and you will probably be offended

> I'm just a woman, so I must be stupid or something
that's an astonishingly idiotic argument, most of what he talks about also counts for your ISP too. They might log everything too and not tell you about it, but at least my ISP never made their whole business case around protecting my privacy.

And also what exactly would be their incentive in building up their infrastructure to facilitate this logging, do you have any idea how much storage space each VPN node in their network would need just to log everything?

And even if they were to log everything you are still sharing a IP with hundreds of other people making you less identifiable to at least the websites you are visiting.

100% FUD

Will check this out. Been decades since I last tried libre office. fingers crossed
That's probably why the two faucets in the UK are required to be electrically bound with a counductor, under the wash basin or sink. If the mains is in contact with a pipe and not the other, touching both faucets would result in electrocution. Also an extra argument for a single combined faucet for both cold and hot water.
That should be included in device cost. It is unacceptable that they prevent users who paid for the device from installing programs outside of apples walled garden
It's popular tendencies today: release aplha/beta stage product and get free QA from users. Apple isn't an icon of hardware/software quality anymore.
They should care because https is not just about protecting secrets. Thinking that is the case is a common misconception about https. Among other things having https also makes it harder for a bad actor to deliver false content while intercepting requests to the site.
I have about 500 apps on my various iDevices. I stopped buying apps years ago - when Apple removed the ability to do so on MacOS.

Its just so cumbersome to manage apps on the iDevices themselves .. so I just stopped. I've got enough apps for everything I need (music-making, mostly). Sure, if someone recommends something amazing, I'll check it out - but for the most part I have reached the saturation point, and I really abhor going to the App Store, for any reason whatsoever.

I still have a much, much better user experience on my Ubuntu workstation, and now even on Windows with chocolatey. It feels so backwards and quaint to have to rely on Apple to review an app - much better to just have an open public repo and let the community deal with quality review. I'm yet to be bitten by a repo - I can't count the number of times I've had my life quality reduced to smithereens because I've had to pass multiple App Store reviews to get my apps out there, or found that an App I needed in order to do my work was no longer available because Apple changed something and broke it.

Repositories are simply a far superior technology.
> One thing that Safari is incredibly good at (and its' engineers are proud of) is the ability to reduce resource consumption for non-active tabs and windows to nearly zero. This is really good when running on battery because it is a shame to dedicate resources to things that aren't even visible on screen. But this could make the results far more dramatic through your test.

Does it mean that page in background isn't updated in Safari?
I don't have any experience with Casio calculators, but my recollection of the TI-89 and HP's competitors that have computer algebra systems is that by default they won't switch your data from rationals to floats without asking or alerting you.

However, if you input a number containing a decimal point it will be represented as a floating point number and performing arithmetic between that and a rational will cause the rational to be coerced to a floating point number and yield a floating point result. (If you're working with a more complicated expression, you can sometimes end up with some terms/coefficients of the expression being rational numbers and some being floats, until you ask for the expression to be fully evaluated down to a numerical result.)
Well the sample of your comments I have noticed on HN (you have a somewhat distinct self-pitying writing style and constantly mention your gender) are below average quality. But that could be due to a rather biased sample of less than 10 (as I will have only noticed your comments in that style, not other comments you might make).
I feel the picture is misleading. First, the angle for cars results in a closer, more zoomed in picture than for the bus and bike. Second, it assumes 1 occupant per car, but a full bus. More likely, each car will probably average more than 1 occupant, and buses will probably be less than half full, if not 25%.
I have a slightly different take on this. I think every company should dedicate a certain percentage of their revenue to handling bug reports from users. Yes, many bug reports will be bogus, but many will be pure gold (I speak from experience). Yes, it involves a lot of manual work. But it is so incredibly worth it — you get to catch the odd bugs that you will never catch with automated or in-house testing.

In contrast, big companies like Apple try very hard to avoid and ignore user bug reports. There is no way to easily E-mail them, "filing a radar" is hard, and even if you do they do their best to ignore your report.

When I wrote "percentage of revenue", I meant it. In my software business (https://partsbox.io/), I dedicate about 10% of my time to reading, analyzing, and responding to user bug reports. Carefully thinking about every report let me catch bugs and problems that I never would have found. I also learned that every user bug report carries some information: even if something isn't actually a bug, getting multiple reports about it might point to a usability or a documentation problem.

If Apple also spent 10% of its revenue on processing bug reports and fixing bugs, they would not have a quality problem like they do now.
Yeah, this. MacOS is unusable without home-brew, especially cask. There is no greater feeling than knowing you can blow away your system disk, come back and re-install it, then add a "brew cask install .." stage to get all your apps installed automatically.

If I had brew on iOS, I'd be more than happy. Alas, I don't want to jailbreak though ..
Yeah much better, a server that the user will probably not be talented enough to secure and will forget to patch the OS, libraries or application itself.

What S.M.A.R.T Stats Can Tell You About a Business
Those aiming to debunk me - and all I said is that public transport should take priority over some dramatic increase in spending as envisioned in this article - seem to read rather too much into the fact that some demographic cycles a lot.

There are huge demographic clusters (particularly late-middle-age to old, middle-aged-to-older women) who, statistically speaking, don't. I'm sure that we're off to the Proof By Anecdote races again about all the spry old folks who cycle everywhere. But in practice weekly cycling rates in places like NSW and VIC for the middle-aged are about 10%, tops, and this declines faster as people get older.

I would hazard a guess that on bad weather days, this skew gets even more extreme i.e. fewer people cycle total, and even fewer proportionally out of the demographics that don't ride much.

I don't know about Melbourne, but the idea that we should splash out Serious Cash on cycling infrastructure in Sydney (vs filling out our shithouse transit network) is just laughable. I'm pro bike lanes and better infrastructure (particularly at the expense of cars), but this 'think big' stuff is really on the nose in terms of equity of access.
Ah the Dutch alternative to air bags just use your kids - not to go all nanny state that doesn't look very safe.
BYU researchers extend WiFi range by 200 feet with a software upgrade
I was just speaking with an acquaintance at Apple this weekend that works in a group in this area at Apple, and they pretty much said exactly what you just said.

Also, it doesn’t help that they can’t directly benefit from the general progress the industry is making in virtualization and container areas without rewriting for their own platform.

”It makes very little sense for a resource constrained company to rewrite stuff”

I don’t think ”for a resource constrained company” makes a difference there.

That’s good, because I have a hard time thinking of Apple as resource constrained.
