Saw this on Minute papers last night and had a discussion with my partner about if we needed a secret password or not to tell if it were really one or the other on the phone. I figured that we had enough shared history that that wouldn't be a problem. Then we realized that there's no such thing as a simulated sense of humor yet and that that would be the best natural encryption to any communication.
I'm thrilled that they've rolled back some of the worst post-2015 MBP changes. I'm a vim user, so I was never going to switch to something without a physical escape key. The key travel on the new machines were terrible; it's like typing on a piece of glass. Most importantly -- regardless of whether or not I have an external keyboard plugged in (sometimes I do, right now I don't) -- an internal keyboard needs to be reliable! I'm really glad Apple has seen the light and returned to the reliable scissor switched keys that I'm currently typing on.

My Late 2013 MBP has been serving me well for the last 5 or so years, but I've been wanting to upgrade it ever since 2016 (the battery life is quite poor & the GPU is showing its age). I refused once I saw the changes in the 2016 MBP, and was glad I never bought in after seeing more and more complaints about the machines roll in every subsequent year. I spent the next two years hoping for a redesign & started to give up. As much as I didn't want to, I've been spending the past few months looking at ThinkPads and Dells and mapping out my transition from OS X to Linux.

As much as I love OS X (and I do -- I've been dreading having to leave it), I just could not spend $2000+ dollars on a computer that I was going to have to fight with to make it work like my old one. This is going to be a daily driver, not a novelty or a toy. Yes, I could've remapped my escape key to caps lock. Yes, I could've bought a bigger laptop bag that could fit a small external keyboard. Yes, I could have learned to live with the new key travel. This is all beside the point if you ask me: I shouldn't have to do that.

Frankly, I'd be okay if Apple kept the old model around, as some people (including many commenters above me) have grown to prefer the butterfly keyboard. Maybe some people prefer the extra touch bar space? (I don't see why it has to be one or the other; I remember how many MBP variations/SKUs Apple carried when I started buying MBPs back in 2010.)

Just give me the option to opt out of these things -- even most of these things -- and I'll keep writing you checks. I'm looking forward to doing this in a couple months assuming the reviews on this machine are good.
Ha ha true. I doubt he will though.
> I always saw Brave as "not chrome, and not as much of a change as Firefox"

It seems more like "Chrome, with some plugins" than anything else. It's a shame really, I like the concept of the BAT project, I'd be interested in using it as a plugin for Firefox, but I'm not interested enough to switch browsers and lose all the features and plugins I'm used to in Firefox.
Been developing for 35+ years, they didn’t teach touch typing back then so I never learned. Just some anecdata.
I would AT LEAST expect 1080p. That's a huge bummer in the year 2020, when even my phone can do 4K.
Conferences and Facebook livestreams just don't work with 720p :(

I have regular panic attacks about git vs GitHub vs Gitlab. So confusing!
You hop in your time machine back to the 7th Century and tell them that.
A lot of the inefficiency of FPGAs is signal routing. If you are very likely to implement X, Y, or Z, then it may just be more economical to put those into the FPGA as discrete circuits. At best maybe you can break them apart into common elements and provide those.

There really isn't much need for LUTs any more, barring some fundamental change in data processing.
It seems to me many (semi)individual vehicles are not a solution to mass transport, like trains are. Plus of course the traffic congestion potential of many vehicles.

Remember Basis? RIP
dead battery might have been my fault, I opened up the laptop to take a look at the hinge and may have shorted something...I think I used a screwdriver or metal tool to push in the connections when reassembling
Absolutely not. I bought a moissanite ring because my fiancé would never accept a diamond, but I wanted to give something that would be just as flashy.
I used Vivaldi for a long time and never encountered many UI bugs. About a year ago I switched to Firefox mainly because I don't want Chromium to take over the world.

What I miss most using Firefox is the ability to customize almost everything.
The butterfly keyboard had design flaws. This is a well known and well documented fact. There is literally an Apple keyboard repair program for the butterfly keyboard, and this new MacBook pro uses a different keyboard design altogether.
Turns out that I'd rather have longer life and lower power draw over 20% performance most of the time.
I have a one year old 15” that I’m super bummed about now. It’s a pretty powerful machine w/ 32gb of ram but I wish I could have waited for this.

Problems I currently have that are annoying:

- I miss the 13” air form factor a lot. I knew it would be a trade off for the performance, but using this beast anywhere but on a desk is pretty tough. On a plane you need a first class seat to open it. It gets super super hot with most workloads.

- there is an obnoxious electrical whine coming from the mainboard and it might be the SSD. Lots of videos on YouTube show that the ssd actually makes a lot of noise and almost sounds like it’s a physical disk. Poor manufacturing from Toshiba.

I guess that’s really it. I just wish I could use it on the couch without burning my thighs. I don’t have any qualms with the keyboard or touchbar. I have caps lock remapped to escape so that doesn’t bug me. Also the touchbar is in “old school mode” or whatever so it looks like a regular function key bar on a non touchbar Mac.
So they found my ex's address?
Thanks for clarifying. The presentation is a bit misleading then-- it has Larry's picture & name at the top, looking like a byline, and I don't see any other obvious author except at the very bottoms where two people are listed as "endorsements"
I have the 15" with 32gb and I thought docker was making my laptop shit the bed - screens flickering all the time, mouse barely moving, etc.

It turned out to be docker plus Firefox (current version/Quantum yada yada) that was too much - I can't stop using all this docker stuff but I switched to Safari and haven't had any problems at all
I've already setup a domain in front of Protonmail so I have email under my control. My next step is to use an email client to fetch all my emails under IMAP so I have them outside of any cloud service.

A few things:

First, when you bring up the page, the list wasn't sorted by rate, so being 94th on it is meaningless. It turns out that if you sort it by rate, the US is 89th, so not much difference, but... the unsorted list didn't prove your point.

Next, so what if the US was Xth on the list? Is that good? Bad? Indifferent? Your claim seems to be that that's high, but you don't actually provide any reason to reach that conclusion based on place on the list.

Why are cars relevant? Because most of us accept the risk of driving in a car, without worrying about the danger level. It's low enough that we just casually accept it. If guns kill half as many, that's too many (it's also too many from cars!), but it's not a danger that keeps many of us awake at night.

> A car's primary function is not to kill, whereas a gun has almost no other purpose.

That argument may not be saying what you think. First, the dead don't care either way. But second, if cars kill more by accident than guns do on purpose, does that make cars better, or worse?
Ok, what happens to society when this gets to be really good?

This title seems materially false.

https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier

Cloud Build has 120 minute build minutes per day allowed under the "Always Free" tier.

GCP has changed the service to require your account to be capable of being billed — for excess usage and to prevent fraud. So if the complaint here is "GAE no longer lets you run code without having a credit card on file", that is correct^, but that's not what the title says.

^ Credit card, bank account, or any other "you have a valid financial services account" validation — Google is using the financial networks as a way to offload identity verification costs onto the banking sector:

> Google uses your credit card [and/or bank account] information for the following purposes: To verify your identity. To distinguish actual customers from robots.
It sure is a leaky abstraction [0]. I would argue that the benefit of it is when spinning up your first Kubernetes cluster, the many community charts created by default can be installed easily with a > helm install stable/mysql.

However, it fails when the reality of running a service in production hits and you need to dive into changing a Chart template, requiring knowledge of not just the Kube API but also more often than not ugly template-fu to get the changes that you want reflected.

I really just recommend using raw K8s resource files for almost everything unless you are managing hundreds of similar releases.

It took 3 years for Apple to quietly acknowledge those mistakes.
Even when there is someone responsible like the USA government for the nuclear waste close to sea level at the Marshall Islands, it’s hard to get accountability after the early years. https://www.latimes.com/projects/marshall-islands-nuclear-te...
For those who were unable speak e.g. S. Hawkings, it would have been feasible to have had the computer speaking system use a voice that had sounded like him prior to his condition. Amazing.
No, it does not say that women should be paid less than men. It says that just because there are differences in average pay between men and women there isn't necessarily discrimination. And he offers suggestions to help close this gap later on in the memo.

Yes, your are making an unsubstantiated leap from what was actually written to claiming that Damore write that his female coworkers should be paid less than men for the same work.
I wish Intel would allow third party chipsets again. I liked the days when companies would compete on features like more PCI lanes and faster interconnects.
Did you know you can rearrange the buttons for the touchbar? System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Customise Control Strip.

My bugbear was hitting the siri button by mistake, I swapped that for a 'do not disturb' button which is harmless when pressed.
The keys actually work.
Spread this information to any sushi chefs you know. The opportunity to help sustainable fisheries by eating puple urchins into obscurity is huge. It's what our economic system is best at.
for whatever reason wishing for anything different always gets downvotes for Apple.

I like the changes. I wish they would target weight next. 2kg is nearly twice as heavy as the same size LG Gram and 33% heavier than then 17" LG Geam.

No, I don't want an LG Gram but I would love a lighter 16" MacBook Pro.
I wonder how much brave.com was?
He said it was a possible explanation, not that it was necessarily true or that the current situation is fair. The memo was a response to the very common fallacy "Women are underrepresented in X, this is proof that women are discriminated against".
Ironically, I think this shows how human-like we have been able to make AI systems.
It's just Chromium, so it's not particularly anything new to support.
Yeah. One of the many experiments that were tried by the Central Economic Mathematical Institute in the old USSR

The line between fit and overfit is arbitrary, though. What is happening is that the systems are revealing unconscious biases present in the more traditional systems the AI/ML are supposed to replicate, build upon, or speed up.

If the results are odious to us, it should be impetus to critically analyze not only the AI/ML systems, but also the underlying assumptions that they're built on. Instead, developers become defensive and cage-y about their processes.

If you don't want systems to have disparate impact, you have to be adamant about it in your design. If you think society is better off with systems that reflect preexisting biases, then fine, but be ready for the backlash.

At the end of the day, it really is up to what humans want to do with themselves. It's an opportunity to be truer to our intent, not a bug to be covered up.
...yes, yes that was it.. definitely..
What do you mean by "general agenda"?

Why would the price of BAT raise when uses opt out of ads?
It didn't seem like a big deal to me before I tried it, but it was since I couldn't keep from losing/breaking connectors. It gets annoying buying new ones all the time. I don't want to spend $2500 for a machine that annoys me.
Presumably you are viewing ads on a website that is giving you some sort of value so you aren't doing it for free.
It's like trying to use molecular physics to explain the immune system.

It's not just impractical; it's impossible to know enough of the variables to derive one from the other.

In practice "evolutionary" explanations are constantly used to make something intuitively plausible for which there is no evidence sound scientific and convincing.
That's the big question. It seems like many AMD AM4 socket boards claim to support it. Few Intel boards do, unless you go with a Xeon socket. You can never really tell if they've done it properly until you get one on the bench and decode its DMI tables.
I'll admit the diagram is complex and takes some time to understand, but that's the nature of mathematics. You cannot skim mathematics. You must parse each and every symbol, and understand all of the parts before you have any hope of comprehending the totality.

The diagram is quite helpful in showing the relationships between these peculiar sets of numbers. And it took me a minute to grok it
It's set at a city/regional level in all of Germany, there are just very few areas that offer very low taxes. Those tend to be close to large cities to get companies to move headquarters out of the city. Hamburg and Frankfurt also have areas with one of the lowest tax rates just outside of city limits (not sure if Munich has one).

In the end, I'm not sure if it makes such a big difference, other incentives, land prices and availability of talent probably outweighs this.
All this decarbonization would pale in comparison to all the emissions from the oil that Norway refused to stop or slow down extracting. Norwegian government continues to issue new drilling licenses.

There is a lot of competition in the laptop space now. Apple no longer produces hands down the best notebooks in terms of hardware. The touchpad on the new Lenovo/Dell laptops have gotten very very good. Same goes for screen quality.
Stability is a misnomer when you have inflation. If algorithms can predict and adjust why isn’t Fed using them?
Agree. We built a management layer to take a DSL that was essentially kube yaml without the boilerplate required for common stuff and piped it on through.

If you’re using Kube you need to understand Kube. Conveniences are great to accelerate common tasks but as you say at some point ya gotta get into the guts of it and tweak things.
While vaccines against major illnesses are all well and good, I find it somewhat disturbing that the vaccine was so quickly approved and then rushed to the Congo for use under the "compassionate use" protocol.

Quote: "Preliminary vaccine data from the current DRC outbreak suggested that Ervebo is 97.5% effective at preventing the devastating viral disease."

Between the compassionate use and the suggested data -- not proven -- a case can be made that Merck is taking advantage of people and the situation in the Congo for essentially a live test of their vaccine, for free.

Big Pharma gets to look like a hero while they roll the dice and find out just how 'suggestive' their data is.

The article says 90K people were protected -- but it's not defined how they were protected. Were they followed-up on, or just simply didn't get Ebola so they are assumed effective?

Articles like this truly show the depth of ignorance the public has in the production and testing of vaccines.
> Broadly though I'm finding it difficult to reconcile the prospect of someone exceptional who is working at a top tech company, with someone whose intelligence is low enough to advocate outright racism or bigotry.

It's simple if the threshold for racism and bigotry is driven low enough that it ends up including the private beliefs of most of the country and even more of the world.
Are you stating that any flooding and other symptoms of climate change are externalities of countries and corporations?

Would the earth be static if there were no countries or corporations?
I didn't just mean news sites, they are a good example though.

There is a lot of sites out there with very valuable information, I'm not convinced that they inherently need compensating though? but I might be mis-interpreting what you mean. More specifically I don't think encouraging these valuable sites to survive on new ad driven or donation modals is pragmatic, especially one backed by a crypto like BAT.

If I create high value content and put it online for free I don't think it's fair I then complain that it doesn't generate enough revenue through ads. I would rather the content not be given to me for free in the first place.
I think there are many benign applications, and definitely a massive potential for abuse. In practice, it will be used mostly for benign applications, I think, but due to the outsized impact, you could still say the malign applications outweigh.

However, what I found reassuring is that the paper actually addresses these concerns:

"However, it is also important to note the potential for misuse of this technology, for example impersonating someone's voice without their consent. In order to address safety concerns consistent with principles such as [1], we verify that voices generated by the proposed model can easily be distinguished from real voices"

This doesn't mean it won't fool humans, especially when used in a carefully crafted setting (low-quality phone call with distressing content).
I am not arguing about possibility of getting virus through ad on browser. My point is that they are using scaremongering in a hope to advance their product. They have no real proof that it is more secure.

As for ads I am using adblock for ages. Not that I got a virus from internet, just do not like seeing ads when not asked.
Boy, every new Apple laptop release people harp endlessly about the cost.

Look, people, Apple high-end laptops generally cost $3-4K. And if you think that's high, you're forgetting that (in many of our cases) you're running your whole business on that.

$3-4K every couple of years should be in the noise. Cost relative to other laptops has little meaning, if you want high-end Apple gear.
I view it as the inevitable growth of a self perpetuating bureaucracy over decades in the absence of any significant constraining force.
It is a leap on your part.

Statistics are all we have to go on in this regard, and they are in Damore's favor.

The truth is not bigoted.

"White men can't jump" is generally true.

Personality traits are like most things on a spectrum, and women tend to have less of the traits which have until now been perceived to be necessary for "negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading"

There are leaders that are women, see AMD.

I keep reading similar statements on HN. Are we honestly saying that because of Zuck's "stature", there are more people actively attacking him than people taking access of an attack vector to gain access to as many people/devices as possible? Sure, some hacker might get some cred points for being the one to hack the Zuck, but ultimately these guys are after financial gains. This seems to be a prime example of quantity over quality being the better option.
On some systems setjmp/longjmp also change the signal mask, and are just as slow. For those there is _setjmp/_longjmp.

The Linux man page explains excellently:

"POSIX does not specify whether setjmp() will save the signal mask (to be later restored during longjmp()). In System V it will not. In 4.3BSD it will, and there is a function _setjmp() that will not. The behavior under Linux depends on the glibc version and the setting of feature test macros. On Linux with glibc versions before 2.19, setjmp() follows the System V behavior by default, but the BSD behavior is provided if the _BSD_SOURCE feature test macro is explicitly defined and none of _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE, _GNU_SOURCE, or _SVID_SOURCE is defined."

I suppose if you're not using git-ops related deployments, but Git has been proven to work well for this exact process. If you are tracking your releases as part of a Git commit, then you rollback with that.

Doesn't seem that complicated, but maybe I'm missing some benefits of this strategy that others with more experience managing K8s resources have had.

Edit: Retroactively speaking you also don't need to leverage etcd to store n*x your K8s resources in a secrets file where n is the potential rollback number, it's all stored in a Git repository.
