When I visited New Zealand's Stewart Island in 2005 to stay with my brother's in-laws (who run a sea food business there) I had the pleasure of a home cooked dinner of locally dive caught abalone and my own line caught blue cod. The abalone was cooked in garlic butter and was utterly delicious. I'm not really a huge fan of things that live in shells in the sea, but I could certainly get used to abalone.

Afterwards I was told that the (fairly sizeable) portion of abalone I'd consumed would have cost US$150+ in a US restaurant. I nearly fell off of my chair.

Yea I’ve seen Chinese fisherman in Florida taking anything they catch. I mean anything their net or pole catches. Fish, not fish, invertebrate, even oyster toadfish. I wanted to see how they cook it all but some of the stuff was not legal.

touchbar is an evolution to fixed function keys

touchbar adapts to your program, it is context sensitive
better than having a cutout from the screen...
I'd assume you'd be right, but anecdotally I am really surprised walking around my office how many people have their MacBook Pros connected to an external monitor -- and have the MBP open, typing on the internal keyboard and using the internal display as a second monitor. I've seen more than one person with two external monitors and still do that, so they have three monitors total. I don't know, to be fair, how many of them are actually using the Touch Bar; most folks use Visual Code, which I don't think does anything with it. (I am a technical writer still using BBEdit for reasons I should eventually write a dorky blog post about, but BBEdit doesn't use the Touch Bar, either.) Personally, I think it's a really neat experiment that turned out to be a solution in search of a problem.

(For what it's worth, I have one external monitor at work and run my MBP closed, with an external keyboard -- up until last week a Matias "Laptop Pro" mechanical, but ironically, the Matias developed a seriously malfunctioning key before the butterfly keyboard did. Currently I'm using a "full-sized" Magic keyboard there.)
You know, if you buy a Surface Pro or Surface Book (or most any other Windows portable), THE WHOLE SCREEN IS TOUCHABLE! The touchbar is the biggest UI/UX screwup since the one button mouse and Jobs' insistence that there be only one menubar - a decision we still suffer from today that was driven by the original Mac's laughable 9-inch 512x342 pixel screen! BTW - You people are seriously acting like an Esc key is an innovation? I'm still waiting for a real delete key... and Home/End, PgUp/PgDn, etc....
Not only that, even if you have reproducible builds, they're a lot harder to verify on mobile targets where you can't just compare all the installed files.
Agreed... been giving more and more time for thought on how I want to handle this myself.
So...as I usually ask when these sorts of things pop up - who's going to jail?

Probably no one, like usual. And the NYPD has the audacity to complain about the way the general public perceives them.
I too work in one of these "progressive" workplaces. On political / social matters, I sometimes have an opinion that differs from the one that the company (very vocally) advertises.

People holding the majority view are publicly cheered by the company, but people holding minority views are (at best) tolerated.

This frustrates me on several levels:

- There's no room for debate on these topics. The official company position is treated as so obviously correct that a reasoned debate on the matters is treated as unnecessary, or even worse, immoral. I find this insulting.

- The company / majority position seems to be self-contradictory. E.g., they promote LGBTQ behavior as praiseworthy, which implies that certain religions' teachings about sexual ethics are factually incorrect. But the company also claims to respect people's religious choices.

These leave me with the impression that the employer is hypocritical and/or disingenuous.

I don't see how a secret ballet couldn't still be checked later by the voter. If we're talking paper ballots, then each ballot could have a unique id printed on it. The voter could either write the number down or the ballot could have a "receipt" section you tear off and keep. The numbers could be recorded as they're being counted and published later. The voter could then check to make sure his or her vote was counted appropriately.

This would be even easier digitally.
People regularly quote that Wikipedia article as if it proves something, somehow ignoring the fact that it lists a number of arguments against Popper's conclusion.
You know who has to suffer from this? International buyers. I buy a lot from Amazon, and I live in Colombia. While these days there are a lot of direct, global shipments from Amazon, I still buy a lot of things I leave at my aunt's house in Miami by the time I travel to pick it all up.

I remember not being able to buy a custom Converse shoe on their vendor site because I didn't have a local US credit card. I hate it, I hate not having options. Even Newegg accepts international credit cards these days. The amount of regression on these platforms is disgusting, and then they ask why others become powerhouses and they don't...
I don't have a problem with that. And I didn't even really mean that to be any sort of judgement. It's just a little difficult to convey that, given the phrase involved.
I have no problem with those. Maybe 95% or more.
I take it you mean specifically USB-A? I can understand that, but I think I'd be satisfied if they would just put more than four USB-C ports on the thing. That should be the upside of a smaller USB connector, give me a dozen ports since dang near everything uses USB these days.
I used to go for boards with a physical TPM as well(the Qxxx) and had the same driver issues you mentioned. But I've been reading recently that it might not be needed, since some of the newer intel chipsets(like z390) now have builtin Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) which supposedly is a sort of firmware based TPM. I plan to give it a shot and see if it works for bitlocker hardware encryption when I buy my next motherboard.
> a detached single family home, though often inside the city limits

Wow, to even have that as a viable upgrade path.

I don't even live on the coast and in my metro, with the local range for a middling middle-class income, having a detached house within the city limits is an absolute pipe dream.
And that SSD costs per GB, what, 10x what you can get from newegg on an NVMe? And that's a consumer retail price rather than what Apple gets to pay an OEM bulk order?

Google/Samsung/etc aren't much better.

SSD prices in phones and laptops are such a fraud.
There's rural and super rural. I live in the UK, 15km from the nearest big town, 90km from london, surrounded by fields and woods, but 2km from a rail station and with 300mbps fttp. I can work just as effectively as colleagues in London with folks in India, China and the USA... My point is that extreme changes to infrastructure aren't needed for cities to become much more distributed and for urban movement to become much reduced and changed in pattern.
I've been a fan of XPS for a long time, and I'd say Dell is repeating mistakes of Apple. The moment XPS got popular, they started penny pinching, and each subsequent model from 9343 got worse and worse from that.

I saw companies repeating the same mistake times and times again. I'd call it a "Mercedes disease." Mercedes 600 series used to be a supercar of the time, but the moment Mercedes management saw that Americans are OK with it being a regular consumer level car, they made Mercedes the reputation it has in US now "expensive and disposable."

S classe is still a luxury car, but under the skin there is nothing really special about it, and it could've easily sold for half the price if not for Mercedes logo on it. Most of clientele for S600 are the people who are just fine with paying extra $50k for the badge, and there are a whack a lot of them in the US.

I'd say the overoptimisation and product management are the issue. Quoting myself:

> See, a first reduction from ~64Wh to 62Wh might've not been even visible and been a valid "product management" decision, and not impacted the sales.

> A second cut from 62 to 56 might've only deterred few power users, and could also be validated from the same standpoint, if evaluated without knowledge of the context.

> But the third cut from 56 to 52 will blow up, despite the rest of the product getting the biggest year on year improvement ever.

A decision to cut the battery a tiny little bit to save some pennies might've made sense business-wise every single time, but it did cut deep into the positive image of the product.
Yeah, I don't know why you'd do what they're prescribing. It's just misleading and seems more like a dark pattern. As if "free shipping" will manipulate them to make the purchase.

People already understand the price of an object vs the cost of sending that object somewhere in the world. Everyone understands $100 shoes with a shipping fee, not $105-$130 shoes that shape-shift depending on where the person lives that opens the link.
Thank you devicetray0, I hadn't heard of that case, I agree with tropdrop that that is _astounding_.

A few thoughts comes to mind:

* Corrupt public officials are hacking our legal system through thin cracks like differences between citizen and non-citizen rights and the statute of limitations to commit injustice.

* This case needs to be appealed and go all the way to the Supreme Court, because it's pretty self-evidently an infringement of Davino Watson's rights.

* The Supreme Court as it stands now would likely make an unjust decision in that case, because it has been packed with judges that lean more towards libertarianism/corporatism than justice.

I'm curious why the memory controller in that supports 64 Gigs would not have made it into the recent refresh of 15" MBP. Is this related to the new thermal design they mentioned maybe?
Is it possible to use it on Heroku?
How is making it seem like the data is mandatory any better than it actually being mandatory? I will probably bounce as a customer either way before actually in detail investigating the huge form I was presented and buy from an online competitor or from a physical store.

And maybe I am an odd customer, but I also think that the customer who buys more sneakers just due to a spammy newsletter is too.

Edit: Online casinos here in Sweden recently went through a revolution where they added e-ID login (meaning that users do not need to complete a huge form on signup) and automatic withdrawal on logging out when possible. Sure, they were lucky that they could get almost all of the old data they gathered by using the e-ID, but even if they had not been able to I think it still would have been worth it to collect less data to get more sales. And apparently slowing down withdrawals was bad for business (who could have known!) despite making some gamblers lose their money while waiting for the withdrawal to be approved. Customer hostile greedy strategies can trap you in a local optima.
What a terrible headline. Makes it sound like they made off with it like Wile E. Coyote in a Looney Tunes episode.
That absolutely makes sense, thank you!

However, I was wondering: How good is the LTE coverage across the U.S? Germany has really bad coverage, even along the Autobahn and train tracks with high traffic. And Germany is pretty small when compared to the U.S
> assuming you aren’t running other peoples’ VMs

That's the problem right there: the vast majority of workloads in the cloud runs on shared hosts.

AWS/GC dedicated host pricing is not actually that crazy of a markup (around 50% last time I investigated), but that's still very noticeable at scale, and billing granularity is by the hour.
It depends on what you mean by "remap," maybe? The Shortcuts tab in Keyboard preferences lets you add/change keyboard shortcuts for a tremendous number of things, including every menu item in every application. (And of course if you were willing to go third party you could investigate something like Keyboard Maestro.)
Is it possible to open source the source with the model and the training data?
Wow, there is a lot to unpack there.

Your assumption that opposing the introduction of a new type of tax is equivalent to advocating for a tax cut is false.

You assumption that the total tax base is constant over time and thus advocating a tax cut for you is equivalent to a tax increase for me is false. Easily dispelled by looking at historical data, which shows tax share of GDP is not constant.

Your assumption that the economy consists only of two people, you and the billionaire, so that a tax cut for one is a tax increase for you specifically is false.

Your assumption that it makes no matter whether something happens at the state or federal level is false.

Your belief that it doesn't matter whether a politician misrepresents a policy ('only Billionaires will get taxed to pay for my healthcare plan') as long as you agree with the policy is reprehensible. Truth is important in and of itself.

I could go on, but you are living in a completely different reality from me.
Just bought the 15" 10 days ago... Hating myself already... :(
I would argue their value is highly inflated but that would go for any police department. The FOP is a very powerful national union who works in their own interest. Their power comes from their membership count, so it's in their interest to keep the numbers (both headcount, salaries and pension) growing indefinitely.

Someone hacked and released the FOP contracts a few years ago. I took a look at the contract for my medium sized city. 10 years on the force yields officers over $100K, plus pension. It's a pretty good gig, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost.

Aside from all the other excellent points about the motivations behind this group - this one sentence on the website is really a very silly move : 'Currently, most software courses teach either Python or (worse yet) Java'.

If you're trying to show that a language is good, don't slag off other languages just for the sake of it.

At best it makes unjustified suppositions. At worst it makes you look like a bitter zealot.

I agree with this, but we already have this problem for full-fledged browers: each page can usually make requests to any/all 3rd party domains (for any reason). Often I see even javascript from raw cloudfront domains, how the hell should I trust this? (visible via umatrix plugin)

I think default behavior has to be block all 3rd party domains from all sites, but it's a ways away.
He is probably referring to GP and LP, which are not explained in the text. I found that annoying as well.
It's not a joke. Only an asshole tells other people they should be doing things a certain way with absolutely no understanding of their use cases, needs, or constraints.

And I really do run my desktops with mitigations disabled. Sky hasn't fallen, computer performs better. If you're the kind of security-uber-alles idiot who thinks this is crazy, then you're using OpenBSD for your desktop right?
My 5520 has been flawless and is also just over 2 years old. I have the 1080p matte screen though. Only other laptop I had that has come as close to nirvana as the 5520 was a Thinkpad T42 and 2012 mbp 15.
> That's already how fraud protection works in the majority of banks.

That's not the entire story. Not only do banks have tons of regulations that they have to follow, a concept of "algorithm determined that we shutdown the account and we can't explain to you why" does not exist there.
> Why would anyone buy shoes on Amazon?

Why wouldn't I? I already have the account, app, and shipping set up. Why are shoes different to anything else?
They are front-ending the bank. It can drive value on the banking side and make customers stick to the Google service side.

Think of things like communications with banks. If you could send me statements or notifications securely to Google Drive or GMail, that saves the bank money and drives value on the Google side.

Banks and credit unions do this already. Your average credit union with a few hundred million in deposits is paying a provider to run all of the web and IVR services.

Probably someone low-level, probably someone who had almost nothing to do with actual decision-making, and most likely someone Asian -- whom all sides can agree to dislike.

Here are two problems I have noticed with brave-browser : The layout is great on widescreen monitors but breaks on my 15'' laptop. Sites like YouTube render as a garish mess of incongruously placed whitespace. This is a major issue.
Also, the brave icons for receiving 'rewards', when activated, are too large obstrusive when displayed on websites. I had to turn them off in settings.

On the good side, I like that I don't have to ever watch pesky ads on YouTube.

Overall however, brave-browser is great and offers a welcome change from traditional browsers.
Yeah I grabbed a used 2015 last year and mostly love it. Definitely been feeling the need for new and shiny lately so I'm glad my wait is over.
it's not consistent though, sometimes it just doesn't work and I have no idea why. Yesterday I've been only using chrome and safari browsers, VS code and spotify, and I had three different ways of changing volume all working in slightly different way.
I think my question will be ports. The article didn't say what they broke there. Will it only support Bluetooth headphones? Bluetooth monitors? No USB? No SD card slot?

Especially for a 16" laptop, I'd like something without a mess of dongles and adapters. The 2015 15" Macbook was pretty good in this department, but Apple is on a port-cutting rampage.
A colleague once told me, "My wife's laptop keeps breaking, but she won't get a new one unless it runs Unix." Over one year ago I installed OpenBSD on a X1 Carbon 5th Gen, installed some software and connected her to her backup disk and router. She has never had a problem and has never had to ask me about anything. OpenBSD is great for beginners to use.
I predict that from now on the touch bar will slowly become smaller and smaller until it disappears completely. It would have been better if they'd gotten rid of it entirely in one iteration though.
Yeah. Someone actually tried this with AMD last year, but the security vulnerability they found was a lot less important than their breathless press release claimed and the markets basically shrugged. There was some funny business there too, with them paying third-party security researchers to confirm the bugs based on a more technical report the rest of us didn't get to see and the actual publicly-announced description they were used to lend credibility to being kept from them.
Anytime I have issues with a bank account I walk into a brick and mortar and talk to someone in person. My Amex has a number on the back and I speak to a person.

Not even sure how to call google. Google Maps has issues with father in laws address. They also have some made up city name near where Ive lived on and off for 30 years, not a single person calls it that. Amazon hides their number or changes the location on their website frequently.
By "other things" do you mean the things I was asked to do by the other people on the call, during the call?

Can you please clarify your comment?
The website covers a handful of things, and the RIDL exploits don't require special instructions.

That's build 10162. It's now on build 18362.

That's like comparing current MacOS with one from years ago which also has some weird UI things going on. In Windows, certainly some of these have been fixed but aside from being visual anomalies everything works.

The kicker for me is Apple hiding / removing the things I use, such as Keychain in the menu bar. OSX / MacOS is slowly getting worse.
I believe Apple lets you return for up to 14 days last time I checked. I assume you’d just have to wait a while for actual availability.
The purple sea urchins which are currently destroying California's kelp forests are nearly inedible. They aren't the same urchin species that people eat in sushi. There's very little actual meat under the shell. Sea otters will only eat them when there's nothing else available.
What is the ebook name?
That probably depends on the definition but I'm with you there. What I meant was the (media) perception which is definitely different for "hardworking, family-supporting car workers" vs "single, well-earning entitled startup employees", which are obviously clichés.
> Their houses still stand today

Was this some intensely sprawl-based city like Dallas? Because the only way this seems realistic to me is if by 'house' you mean actual single-family detached housing. And there aren't many highly populated cities that have a lot of that within their municipal borders.
It reads like a spoof, like if Paul McCartney wrote a manifesto for why he should be considered the cutting edge of rock.
Don't think Ruby is declining anymore tbh, neither is PHP. They were once hugely popular and then shrank back to moderate usage; any data to back up that Ruby is losing usage over the last 3-5 years?

Do you realize that every microphone I have is basically embedded in the devices? I can't turn off -temporarily- my laptop's microphone or my phone's.
But with ballooning population (grandma had a lot of kids), it'll have to remain a small fraction. Hm, but with decreasing marriage rates...
When it comes to MBPs being used daily for 8+ hours by a host of smart people, you absolutely can get really good customer feedback, and the fact it took this long still shows Apple isn't listening much and has a lot of managerial and product development inefficiency and problems.

They still are shoving the touchbar down people's throats, they just aren't using a piledriver at the moment. An option for legacy ports (USB3/HDMI/minithunderbolt) would have been very nice.

But it's apple, for a new-age company with new-age CEO and new-age values, they are very stubborn and closed minded.
