There are absolutely better alternatives. Ubuntu 18 with Gnome (or any other modern Linux) + modern laptops with intel/nvidia work fantastic. Plenty of good aluminum chassi out there.

Apple build quality isn't even close to being good. Hardware failures are common, they had the shitty keyboards in previous gens that started failing after dust got stuck in them, e.t.c.
I'm not asserting that Trump is personally racist, nor that all of his platform is racist. I think the term 'racist' as a concept has such divergent meaning across society that it's rarely useful. I'm saying he is leveraging the dimensions of the current political landscape to his advantage (something he has bragged about having no scruples in doing), which includes exacerbating racial tension. Is it more a projection of his followers than himself? Probably.

I am assuming they would want read-access to your account, transactions and all of this to help them build some ML to adapt advertising and other avenues. Google probably builds one of the most comprehensive profiles of each user it has. It will likely continue to find ways to get in more data businesses (hence this checking thing) to get more and more data. For google it doesn't even matter if they have people thinking about what to USE that data for. The algorithms they run will find correlations - transactions or otherwise - that might surface if you have HIV, are interested in porn, are worth hiring. It does not matter if these are questions they are thinking about - the ML will find those questions and answer them - and then tie that to all of their products, including advertising and selling profiles.

That's the entire point of the article, our biases, as reflected in the world, are learned by models. Consider the following:

* More computer programmers are men than women (descriptive statement, no problem)

* A predictive model correctly identifies that more computer programmers are men than women (a prediction based on observed data, no problem)

* A recruiting agency uses a predictive model to recruit computer programmers. Due to the way the model was trained, it excludes qualified women (not OK, a clear misapplication of an algorithm)

Feel free to try this thought experiment in other contexts where existing biases can be amplified through algorithms.
TL;DR: The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

From what I've read[1], there are studies indicating that higher levels of androgens in the womb are correlated (within each sex) with higher levels of male-typical behavior, in humans and in other primates. They have also directly established causality in other primates by increasing or decreasing the androgens and observing the result. I don't think they've gone as far as tweaking androgens in human fetuses to see what happens—I suspect it would be hard to get the experiment approved—but I know what I expect the result to be.

The next step is establishing just how much of the male-female difference is explained by biology. I haven't studied that part of it. But the "null hypothesis", that all gender differences in behavior are due solely to social conditioning, is wrong.

[1] Consult https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778233/ and the studies it cites in the second paragraph.
I see your point, but I think that is because of a lack of commitment to higher integration functional blocks. A lot of work done on a FPGA is very regular.

I suppose LUTs could be the best way to do create the glue logic that basically amounts to signal routing and synchronization, but it seems unlikely.

I like the idea. My startup started with managed hosting. We use to provide subdomains of customer.company.com domain for each customer to quickly onboard users. Later, when the customer was ready to move to their own domain, we had to ask them to setup A records or provide DNS credentials. The tech stack wasn't too hard for us but hand holding each customer to get the custom domain working was the pain point.

* Will AutoSSL also provide a way for the customer to login and provide them instructions on how they can setup the domain on their side?

* Some of our customers had CAA records preventing LE from working. This is about informing the customer that this record exists and what the possible alternatives are.

* This was mentioned elsewhere but AutoSSL is a cPanel feature. So, I would consider rebranding.

* What are the proxying limitations? Does it support Websockets? How much load can it handle?
You don’t have to worry. The government will bail you out like they do the people who build in forest fire land and in flood plains.

I'd care a hell of a lot less about them not ratting on each other for breaking the law if they didn't prosecute normal people for not ratting on each other when we break the law. I don't really care which they go for, just be consistent. The double standard is BS. If we don't get a pass then they shouldn't get a pass. If they get a pass we should get a pass.

We have an entire planet here; you don't have to go only to tourist hotspots. Of course, I'll admit there's many very boring places that probably aren't worth your time and money, like Oklahoma, and some very dangerous places that you should avoid, like El Salvador or Syria, but there's lots of very nice places in civilized countries where you can go, which aren't chock-full of tourists. As a bonus, they're pretty cheap to stay at, since there's not so much demand for lodging there. Even if you confine yourself to western Europe, there's lots of places to go without running into throngs of tourists.
You're right, it is a BSD is dying post, only a decade later.

I agree with everything that you said. In an ideal world, we could all convince our colleagues that Docker and SELinux and Apparmor and such things are crap, and that everyone should be using OpenBSD alternatives. This is nothing but wishful thinking, however.

I wish the industry (and Cisco) would know about OpenBSD and wish to use it, but alas, this is not the case.

Yes, the main use is a fairly narrow part of possible uses, and introducing a whole new OS, package system and command set just because you prefer pf over nftables seems like something most of your colleagues would be a little disgruntled with.
Just reading the section you linked, it sounds like he's autistic, not racist. If you didn't know that "Grand Dragon" and "Imperial Wizard" were KKK titles, you'd probably think they were cool - or at least that some nerds would think they were cool.

Hell, those titles being cool without their association to the KKK is why the KKK used those titles.
I was excited about this concept a few years ago and talked it over with the Tor developers. Their concern is that the Tor Browser has an elaborate ongoing effort to prevent tracking by removing unique identifiers and isolating session state. A regular browser used through Tor would be extremely trackable because it wouldn't hide or isolate any of these things, and indeed you could associate Tor activity with non-Tor activity easily.

Other software doesn't normally take these precautions, and so you would often end up leaking a ton of identifying information when applications that didn't expect it were proxied by Tor.

So why are you frequenting these 'trashy' sites? If you are, it must be because they offer some value, right? If you're not... then you don't see any ads from them. Someone else will, because they find value in the site.

> Things change, deal with it.

Other companies have dealt with change better than Apple. For example, I can buy a professional tier laptop from Microsoft or Lenovo with plenty of USB ports, while Apple's reaction to change has been to ignore their professional users' use-cases.
Because it inserts a middleman who takes a cut that the publisher did not enter into an agreement with. If it was just users giving to publishers, that would be fine. Having a middleman hold the publisher's monetization hostage is ethically dubious for the middleman.

Consider that I could pirate a movie, or I could pirate it and pay the creators directly, leaving out the distributors the creators contracted with. I fully agree that the second is slightly more ethical than the first, even though the creator agreed to neither. The problem occurs when some Tube site distributes the videos without the creators' consent, collects money from the viewers, takes a cut, and passes the rest to the creator. The Tube site is ethically wrong.
Hey, remember OTA television? That is also a free medium. Where did this notion come from?
In Florida, the entire first floor cannot be covered by flood insurance. Most homes do not have basements as you cannot dig down to create one. Most 1st floors of nicer homes are essentially a finished basement and posts to support the rest of the building and the main floor starts on the 2nd level.

During a hurricane, you assume everything on the first floor to be a loss so usually people may have their pools, have granite/tile flooring and do not have carpet etc so that way after a flood/hurricane it's easy to clean/fix up.
>The theme of the future is that, just as the Industrial Revolution involved urbanization and rural depopulation, urban development patterns this century involve growth in the big metro areas and decline elsewhere and in traditional small towns. This is fine. The status anxieties of Basil Fawlty types who either can’t or won’t adapt to a world that has little use for their prejudices are not a serious public concern.

The world will go in a trajectory based on its current dynamics and the factors at play, not the author's ideologies. And it can develop new prejudices, compared to which Basil Fawlty types might seem inoccent and quaint if not preferable (much like the current era, with Trump et al, seems more frightening to the starry eyed days 90s).

In fact, if climate issues worsen, and the trade wars and splintering get worse, the future might do away with the whole "urbanization" concepts as peddled by the author.

So I wouldn't so so smug as to think some provincial echo-bubbly thinking is on right side of history...

I urge everyone to remember Apples actions regarding HK protests,specifically how they are able to remove an app from the store, without any easy way to side load it on devices.

Ask HN: Working for a Year in Europe/Asia?
Hi,

I'm a senior developer (webdev Full-Stack, 7 years of Experience) in Brazil and would like to work for a season (one year-ish) in another continent, I already apply in some places but all of them seems to be looking for full-time positions (‘’continuous’’ employment);

Do anyone have experience with this?

Edit: I would be willing to do voluntary (tech) work as well (If it's a cause that align with my principles);
I’m assuming the iOS app is based heavily on GitHawk (https://github.com/GitHawkApp/GitHawk) as its developer, Ryan Nystrom, moved to Github last year. Looking forward to getting in the beta!
Scale is also the only difference between a beautiful snowflake and a terrifying avalanche. It's the difference between drinking a refreshing glass of water and being waterboarded.

Scale matters a lot.
Looks like an upgrade, for sure. I'd look at it if they did a few more things:

1) Ryzen Options; Icelake Options
2) Regular USB 3 Ports and 3.5mm Jack
3) Make the Touchbar Optional.
4) Do not solder stuff to the Board.
This is too irresistible not to upgrade. I'm more interested in CPU/Memory and the Graphic card bump is only $100. In total, it should cost $3.900 excluding taxes (or $2.500 if I "trade in" my current machine). Looking at the competition, a ThinkPad P53 Mobile Workstation with the 2.3Ghz processor / 32GB of RAM will cost $3.759.

I think the pricing is very competitive, given that the ThinkPad is a giant box. So even if Lenovo lowers its price in the next iteration of its ThinkPad, the MacbookPro will quite match up.

Kudos for Apple for doing this!

Philip K Dick wrote about people going to commune with artificial personality constructs of their deceased loved ones.

Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I read it, so I don't remember which book it was in. Maybe someone who's read him more recently can remember.

Update: Apparently, lots of other people wrote about this too, but PKD wrote about this before any of the ones mentioned so far, as he wrote about this in the 1950's or 60's. I'm not sure if he was the absolute first, however. So if anyone knows of any earlier references, it would be interesting to learn about them.

Indeed. And as someone that currently carries Windows Mobile and soon will hopefully be carrying a Linux phone, I'd really prefer if we have good web-based mobile experiences, focus sticks on those.

Relying on mobile apps made for specific platforms will always be arbitrarily limiting and enforce the duopoly.
> And the AI's always fail this test.

This isn't quite true as it has been successful in limited scopes since the 90's (i.e. well before the existence and rise of deep learning). See for example microcalc TP rates on CAD breast screening that was beating average radiologists back then, but not on general screening. This is somewhat specialized though, and there are important constraints to screening also, as opposed to diagnostic radiology.

But you are right in an important way - it isn't a feature for the current throw-a-ton-of-data-at-a-deep-model approach that a lot of "AI companies" are built around, and I agree they are mostly knocking on the wrong doors in medical imaging.

Importantly, if you are trying to replace people at a relatively simple task and make it cheaper your approach will look much different than the case you describe, where you are trying to learn unusual configurations and long-tail sort of things.

ML in medical imaging is complicated by a lot of factors, but people that think a little transfer learning and a few hundred case reports is going to get somewhere useful are being incredibly naive. Without exception, all the promising work I have seen has involved painful and expensive labeling and a lot of modeling and pre-processing effort.
Start making diamond knives, buttons, zippers, put diamonds on Air Jordans, sell an iPhone with a diamond Apple logo so people can see it while you obnoxiously take selfies and give it a “posted from Apple DiPhone” tag for social media, pay male celebrities to be seen with diamond earrings and nose rings, sell diamond-studded Bibles signed by Kanye West, and open a line of diamond essential oils (which will be easy because they have no smell so just sell expensive mineral oil). This is easy. People spend money on themselves so make it all about the buyer being the recipient rather than the buyer using it as a gift and use all of the shallow marketing tricks that have been proven to be effective.

SiC (moissanite) is also birefringent which makes it look a lot more sparkly (each incident ray of non-polarized light is split in 2, so if illuminated by a single bright light source you get twice as many sparkles).

Yeah, having seen all the useless previous attempts at paying users to watch/click ads, I'm not particularly hopeful for the long-term prospects of that system.

"What's wrong with McDonalds?"

Arguably its bad food. Anyways its mass produced food that has no attachment to the place where it is consumed (outside the USA). Food, like the appreciation of a city, has a cultural aspect that McDonald's lacks.

McDonal's for someone visiting Europe makes no sense at all. You've dropped a few thousand in airfare and hotels, now you're being cheap on the food?? (Here I make an exception for Europeans eating McDonalds. They live there, they know their culture and their food. Go ahead stuff your pie holes just for the purpose of filling your bellies).

"Disneyland is also great."

idem for Disneyland. It's a fake image of a medieval utopia that never existed even in fairy tales. It's purpose is to create value to the Disney brand by becoming, through sheer force of the ubiquity of the Disney company, a part of children's childhood replacing real experiences and the myths handed down through generations. You don't learn anything at Disneyland, you do not grow as a person at Disney because there is no substance to Disneyland.

At best you have "fun", whatever that means. More likely you're told you had fun, and you repeat that to yourself to avoid admitting you mostly just waited in line.

Venice as Disneyland is a place where hoards of bucketlisters checkoff yet another selfie at Piazza San Marco (or is Piazza Spagna? who remembers? who cares!?), not for the San Marco's sake, but to pretend they accomplished something merely by buying a cheap ticket and airbnb.

You made it to Venice! Big deal! How hard is that?

No. A person who wakes up 4:00am to make it to San Marco at dawn to see San Marco alone has accomplished something (albeit small). A person who goes to Venice and doesn't go to Piazza San Marco, but instead spends the whole time alleys long forgotten by the hoard has accomplished something.
