I think that his cut is about normal, I have heard of higher and lower. Both short and long term...

I think you are going for a world of hurt, if you try to cut him out later.

My advise, in the contract with your friend make sure, that HE is listed as your customer (and not the end customer) and hence that HE has to pay you regardless of what the end customer does (i.e. he cannot say "I didn't get paid, so neither will you"). If he barks, then you have some room for negotiation...

Also for a long term engagement 25% is a rather cheap sale (which is even free (in monetary terms) for you)!

> So how does an organization decide who is the "right" entity to deal with?

Practically speaking, that's up to the company -- but the company needs to make sure that their clients are informed and are able to withdraw their data if they're concerned.

The larger part of what's wrong with this particular deal is that it was done in secret. Patients and doctors were not informed of this until after data has begun to be transferred. They should have been, and patients should have been given the option to remove their data from the dataset and find another health care provider if they wish.

> Personally, it's more important to me to be able to actually know how much a procedure is going to cost rather than who owns the AI stack behind their clinical decision support system.

I agree that knowing costs is very important, but we're miles away from that being a thing that is possible. In the meantime, I think it's important not to backslide in other areas such as this one.

I'd also say that my concern isn't really about who owns the stack, or the cloud. That sort of battle was lost years ago. My concern is the ability of Google to access that information.
Sweet, a MBP that lives up to the name again. Congrats on listening to your customers, Apple. Too bad for me, I gave in and 'upgraded' my 2011 to a top of the line used 2015 MBP about six months ago, now I kinda want this new one. Ah well

Maybe.

Or maybe the existence of huge monuments is a sign that someone was somehow extracting an awful lot of work from other people. Who presumably didn't do it just for their own amusement.

Maybe the builders got paid. But if they did, the tax money they got paid with sure didn't reproduce itself spontaneously in the king's basement. More likely the tax collector had some nice men with pointy implements to encourage everyone to file on time.

Just to clarify, are you suggesting that I offer the client to bill them directly at a lower rate right off the bat?

My friend would not receive this well, since he would get nothing from the introduction, and he probably not refer me to something similar in the future.

This seems like a bit of an unusual move at first glance, hopefully more details will come out about Docker's plans.

From this article it sounds like Docker are keeping Desktop and Docker hub, neither of which make a lot of money (I'd have thought?), so not sure what their plans are to develop those, but you'd think that without the enterprise product line, they'd perhaps need to start monetising Docker Hub more...
Correct.

Point being, running arbitary (unprivileged, sandboxed) code is a prerequisite; an attacker can already max your CPU, mine crypto, etc.

Not BYOD devices, any device you use to connect to the corporate servers. So if you read your corp email on your home computer, or access employee only services from your phone or laptop etc. One of the interesting things about working there was that much of what you needed to do could be done over the existing Google services.

As for how? It was left unspecified but we speculated they could drop a keylogger or other bit of surveillance kit if you logged into your corporate gmail account from a device where it wasn't already installed. Clearly crooks can do this, it has to be easier when you can sign your downloads and are a 'trusted' vendor.

While it's nice to see an opinionated company like Apple admit fault and revert to what people want, I wonder if this move is too late for many of those that decided to move away from Apple?

Years ago, I switched to a Surface Book, and while I'm tempted to go back for this MBP I reckon that a Surface Book update would be enough to kill any desire for the Mac range. While Apple stagnated, many of the high-end manufacturers caught up.
I had that exact same thought the other day in respect to biometric data from photographs.
I don't believe this press release indicates which ports the laptop has. I assumed that meant it had a crappy selection, and further googling proves correct - 4 Thunderbolts and a headphone jack.

In my eyes, that makes it a non-starter for an alleged "Pro" laptop. For the professional work I do, an SD card reader (for photos and video), HDMI/DisplayPort (for presentations, either in the boardroom or better viewing of photos and videos), USB A (because thumb drives), and for my specific work, an ethernet jack, are all required to do my job. Also magsafe power is a lifesaver.

I'll be holding onto my 2014 15" until it's cold and dead. And if Apple still doesn't have a suitable replacement, Lenovo likely will still have great pro laptops.
Because removing ports and peripherals is a thing that Apple keeps doing.

While you could increase your rate, I feel it's fair as your friend company is billing his client for the entire period. For me it feel like your are employed by your friend company. 1.25x is really low then. If he just introduced you to the client then it's not his company who should bill the client but yours. In this case it's your client and your friend just get a commission, 25% seems then pretty high. I usually give 15%. But what I understand is that the business relationship is between the client and your friend, it's not your client.
I think this is one of those things that just should not be allowed.

You are wrong because the difference is that the individual instances are federated. This means that they connect together in the backend to provide users with each other's content.

When you go on Youtube and watch someone's channel, the side bar shows you suggested videos from other channels.

PeerTube can do that same thing even if every channel is hosted on its own instance. The administrator just needs to link their instance with others (so they can, for example, avoid linking to porn instances or other undesired/unrelated topics), and PeerTube will start displaying videos hosted on other instances all without requiring the user to visit another website.

I doubt that much will change. Docker itself already has a paid platform, Docker Hub, which generates revenue trough the private registry. It sounds like Enterprise was a separate branch anyway, so it doesn't seem to affect Docker itself.

Yours is absolutely an exception. I also have Google Fi, but I had to create a second Google account in order to get it.

I had Google Wallet years back. At one point while I was traveling, I lost my debit card and thankfully had my Google Wallet card as a backup. I was able to transfer money to the card from my checking account, though I only moved over what I needed for short periods of time. This resulted in multiple movements of money to my Google account, which in turn resulted in Google flagging this as suspicious and preventing that account from using Google to pay for anything (I couldn't even purchase via the Play Store even if I selected my non-Google debit/credit cards as payment methods). They asked for verification of who I am, and I supplied the correct documents to them multiple times. Each time I was told that those documents did not suffice with no explanation as to why they were not reauthorizing my account nor why the documents I sent them weren't up to their standards. Just "Nope, go away."

For some dumb reason I insisted on proceeding with signing up for Fi, and found it super easy to just create a new Google account specifically for that. I've been increasingly uneasy about the longevity of this account because of that experience and realize now that it was probably foolish to migrate my phone service to a company that had already fucked me, but c'est la vie.
I'm a millennial too and these threads always annoy me because I'm on the "losing" side of the discourse. I thought rings were important and I got my wife a very nice custom engagement ring from an artist on the internet with a real excellent cut 1.5 carat G color ring which cost me less than 10k for the stone. The design of the ring is completely custom and the wedding bands are also custom each with stones of a different color. One more masculine and one feminine.

To me, at my professional salary level, $15-18k for the set was worth it for what they meant to us together. It's ok if the diamond has horrible resale or in 10 years that stone will be worth 5k. We can always upgrade and move that stone to earrings or whatever.. Although any near term purchases of jewelry will definitely be "mossy" as they are called by some in the trade.

This is outright untrue, the raku devs can't stand them any more than the rest of the perl community can.

Will and Reini have contributed absolutely nothing to this effort except to periodically distract the people doing the actual work while we go clean up after their bullshit and drama.

> I welcome some kind of resolution where Perl 5 is just Perl and what is now Perl 6 becomes a new, different language

The raku change is indeed an excellent thing. However this giant pile of idiocy is trying to capitalise on that change to push their hostile fork of perl, and that's, uh, let's say "not such an excellent thing."
There are quite a few users on wikipedia that seem to have a niche that they really hammer on. They do one operation that they know well over many hundreds of articles. I don't know why they do it. Perhaps to get huge edit numbers for their account.
True, but in context of the question this doesn't matter: app based transit scales WORSE than individuals owning a car. Apps as a supplement for people who mostly use real mass transit can be useful, but it alone is worse than everybody driving their own car.

If you're talking about the canvas id fingerprint which is identical across all instances of the browser, that lets Brave users hide in the crowd, so it's literally more private.

I kinda like the idea of users controlling sites indirectly by rewarding and punishing them for ads, kind of a direct-to-webmaster upvote button. Not sure about the way they implement their ad replacement, but if the basic model works there will probably be more companies that will enter the BAT ecosystem.

things every pro user said, since the invention of laptops, for every brand.
The worst part is that, looking at the image, it looks like there's plenty of room to have both. The trackpad is massive - why not shrink it a little bit, move the keyboard closer to the front, and add the touchbar on top? Hell, why not do that to transition for a model lifecylce or two and then go ahead and replace the function keys altogether once people have had time to adapt?

(Of course, the answer is that this is a laptop that's marketed to freshmen film and music students, not professionals or engineers...)

How do you store and carry your weapon safely? How do you transport it? Who has access to it and the ammunition?

I'm skeptical of the model too, and have no intention of using Brave.

But: you can also not enable ads and buy BATs yourself. This gives you a single system to distribute donations to content you enjoy.

Which is actually quite an interesting concept, since it is low effort/automatic for the user and yet allows small contributions.

Of course it also gives Brave a potentially huge position of power, which is my biggest problem.

If the BAT system was run by a independent non-profit and not browser specific it would be more appealing.
> Did Brave ever claim to reduce the use of ads?

Are you serious? Ad-blocking by default is a core part of the marketing and self-description. I'm actually amazed they replace ads instead of just "uBlock"-ing them. Sounds like a joke.

Look at the copy on https://brave.com/ and https://brave.com/download/

Are you telling me the average person reads "blocks ads" and expects it to mean "we replace ads with our own"?
This. Exactly this. No sophisticated tokenization. No interesting architecture using attention. And the author is completely clueless about overfitting... and even cross entropy loss. He could have gotten better results just using a bag of words approach.

But this ends up on frontpage anyway. Welcome to HN.
The big difference is that I can turn off auto update on OS X. It's not even on by default, although you are encouraged to enable it.

> my mind tends to automatically start strategizing the long game

Ditto. The long game seems to be to become an alternative Google of sorts. In the sense that Brave becomes the ad delivery middle man to every web user like Google and FB currently is.

With regards to the current business model, I don't think it's broken at all. What is broken is the expectation that because users find most internet content so worthless that they wouldn't ever consider paying for it that some alternative revenue modal surely exists to keep the current system afloat. It's a flawed assumption. These new ad modals are just lipstick on a pig. The underlining product is already not valued enough to charge for (like crappy news articles and hastily written blog posts). No new monetisation modal will fix it.
When people cite the great feat of putting in a 100Wh battery into this laptop they seem to keep forgetting that the 2012-2014 models had a 95Wh battery and the 2015 model had a 99.5Wh battery.
