Good riddance to FCA and Ford, though I honestly have a hard time seeing Ford fail completely given the success of their trucks in the US.

I'd be sad to see Nissan go.

I have no idea how Mitsubishi hangs on; they're just too small a player now. What they really should do is get out of the car business, and jump into the airliner business. The market is screaming for alternatives to Boeing and Airbus. Boeing has proven itself untrustworthy, and Airbus just doesn't have the production capacity to handle increased orders. On top of that, I'm sure ANA and JAL would love to buy domestically-made airliners if they could.
That is a funny and clever site.

I take no position on the enforceability or the wisdom of the case. That said…

It seems completely reasonable to me that there will be ARM-based desktops and laptops from Apple in the next five years and that they plan to offer them in hardware or software configurations that are suited to server work; macOS Server is still a thing.

I three-quarters expected, when the new Mac Pro was announced a year or two ago, that it would be the first ARM-based desktop Mac. I was wrong, but I think I was wrong on timing, not on whether it would eventually happen. Apple cares a lot about having control of every key technology that makes up its offerings.
Make is better than de facto; POSIX specifies it.
In my experience, their stuff still “just works” and better than ever before (though I am a major version behind on macOS and iOS).
I wonder if rowhouses weren't banned, just renamed.

I'm not entirely sure what the proper definition of a rowhouse is, but at least where I live (US Midwest) there are a lot of newer townhouses (multi-floor houses that share a wall on at least one side). There are also quite a few zero lot line houses (also called a duplex?), which are houses that share a single wall only.
Never attribute to Hanlon’s razor that which can adequately be explained by anyone with a sufficiently high IQ to fully comprehend all the nuances of a situation.

Everyone who ever cites Hanlon’s razor is just admitting they’re too stupid to see the bigger picture.
To be fair though, websites don't affect each other while structures typically affect their neighbors (views, noise, etc).

For the parts of the internet where users can affect each other, like the networking layer, RF protocols like LTE/bluetooth/wifi, there do tend to be heavy rules (RFCs) and sometimes regulation (FCC).
There are plenty -- it's called a "spin in". Unique to Cisco, though.

Well, I could say "sure, here's my config * ", but all that I described may not be very simple and straightforward (especially for a beginner). For example: we use Jira at work and I can't stand it. I use go-jira command line client and "talk" to Jira from Emacs via that tool. Meaning that I had to configure go-jira and write some emacs-lisp code that executes it and then parses json, etc.

Also the workflow I described is not completely automated yet, I'm still experimenting and it's not very clean - things right now are scattered across different config files.

If you have any questions I would gladly try to answer them in a private chat: either email, twitter, signal, telegram or keybase. Let me know.

I wonder if Chrome would be able to eat up all of its resources, the way it does with so many other machines.

FYI - I'm on a 2019 Mac Pro with 32 GB of RAM and Chrome STILL, yes STILL often eats up all of its resources and I get the beach-ball while the fans spin and the machine gets super hot.
Technical management of technical endeavors can be just as bad, although you could be right when you say it's "the root of most failure in the engineering domain," because when technical people manage, the product is often either not delivered, or is delivered but doesn't have any critical failures because people don't want to use it. It's very good when managers have technical expertise in addition, but managerial expertise is much more important in management. Just something I learned in my two-plus decades in the software industry.
Ultimately the problem is with the banks/issuers who refuse to support and require more secure solutions like chip cards, instead of clinging on to the hopelessly outdated standard of authenticating payments with knowledge of a number printed on a card.
Oh, I am absolutely sure, the intended audience will be delighted with the Mac Pro and get great value. The problem is, that this audience is a very small one and more generic professionals don't have a real alternative in the Mac universe. A lot of users are looking for and not finding a Mac with a

- good desktop graphics card
- extensible storage
Bonus points for a machine that can be repaired with a reasonable effort.

Incompetence apparently pays pretty well
I believe it's not a problem for an individual. Getting market returns is fine for a normal high worth individual (even if some of them won't accept that and demand ways to beat the market).

It's a problem for people in the financial sector whose income/wealth stems from convincing people that you can beat the market (convincing is really the key, but it's way easier to convince people of it if you've already had success--even if that was luck).

If you have a few million dollars to invest, you can beat the market by just finding a few arbitrage opportunities. But if you have $100 billion to invest, you need a lot of ideas--figuring out that a $1 billion company is incorrectly priced only lets you get returns from a fraction of the money you manage.

Note: I'm an outsider..maybe someone in finance could give a better description.
Do you want them to be held more, or less accountable, than, say, the US government spying on a French aerospace firm? Or on an energy company, and selling their secrets to a state-friendly domestic firm? [1]

Because it's easier and cheaper than developing it yourself. You can outsource the cost of R&D to another company/country and reap all the rewards for yourself. This is how many popular Chinese brands got to be competitive with more established companies so quickly. Alibaba is filled with devices that look like a Galaxy S10 and have the same chassis and screen and battery and processor and software as a Galaxy S10 but have the name of some fly-by-night company on the back... because if Samsung orders 100,000 phones and you already have the factory running, who will care if you actually produce 150,000 and sell the extras under your own brand? It's pure profit with no R&D costs.

The only thing their dictator cares about is China's economic success. International relations don't matter because... well, what are you going to do about it? Stop making stuff in China? Good luck.
I think the idea is to achieve extreme energy densities and a high degree of control, with many practical benefits over a particle accelerator. This old article describes some of the stuff they were doing with a petawatt laser [0].

Essentially, they used it for microscale imaging and also generating extremely high energy electrons. There is also 'photofission' where gamma rays cause nuclear fission to occur [1]. There is some additional detail in this article [2]. They seem to be saying that obviously photon-electron interactions are incredibly useful in science, and a gamma ray laser would be just as useful but for photon-nuclear interactions.

Finally of course, a gamma ray laser would be a useful space weapon. For example, at [1] they could penetrate 6 inches of lead. It isn't clear how you could reliably stop a high energy gamma laser, as it would degrade even very dense shielding at the same time as generating showers of ultra high energy electrons, neutrons and protons.

If they put a $1000 price on a stand AND people buy it, then that's what the stand is worth. At the very least, there's a market at that price.

> Just imagine if we introduce the product under a different name, would people buy them?

That monitor and stand are selling because they cost significantly less than what people have been paying. Monitors of that class were being rented for hundreds of dollars per week.

It has nothing to do with the schools. You can't fire teachers with tenure (edit: actually it's even worse - this is for any teachers not just with tenure) except under pretty outrageous circumstances. So even if they show up drunk, they are still gainfully employed.

I use SQL-level COMMENTs and comments in the schema source for different things.

The former can be made visible to people using the database; the latter are for people maintaining the schema.

In any case, I don't think I'd get on with an auto-formatter that thought « COMMENT ON TABLE foo IS » was a friendly comment-introducing string. « -- » takes up rather less space.

Chip cards aren't without their problems, also. I've yet to have one last more than 9-10 months before the chip stops working reliably.
No, like I said, I like to think that I buy the stuff that have the highest value to price ratio. I fully agree that brands have value, if I am Japanese in the Edo era or whatever, I would feel great pleasure from buying an iron made by local electric shops. But imagine if the iron explodes after every 2nd usages, you must wonder if I am making a sound decision or not.
The way these conversations are structured, I'm always going to come across like I'm rooting for Matrix to fail, which is not at all the case. Like I said, I use Slack more than any other group messaging system, and while Slack does have some security assets that Matrix lacks, nobody can say that it has a more coherent encryption story. I wish Matrix all the best; I just don't think it's reasonable to suggest it as an alternative for people who need secure messaging that reliably works in groups of people.
It's complete bullshit, provably so. This is suggesting that the data is being stripped of anything related to your identify locally, before being sent to the server. But that's not the case, nothing is being removed, and anybody can use Developer Tools to see it.

And as to anonymization on the server side, I haven't seen any evidence that it exists and so far statements by insiders seem to confirm that there is none. The privacy policy merely promises pseudonymization meaning that Avast can keep the data as it is. Technically speaking, user's name isn't sent and their user identifier is a pseudonym, so it already satisfies the requirements.
It's mainly used for CI build servers. I know of a FANG company that just stacks iMac Pros on a shelf, they will definitely be happy about a powerful rackmount server.

I don't think Nix improves anything when you are stuck writing a weird javascript derivative. This comes from a packager writing bash for a living.

Male psychology is to do pretty much anything to get as high in the socio-economic ladder as possible. To achieve as high status as one can. Starting with lobsters about 300 milion years ago. Deeply encoded in our bodies in all types of weird places like for example endocrine system. Females don't have that. They are rather wired to find males who posses high status as attractive partners. So they are wired differently to males in this regard. And of course, you see the difference, it's just that it is not this comfortable talking about obvious truths nowadays. Even when these basic truths are backed by hard science.
Yea but in many cases the alternative isn't "good housing" it's living in your car or a shelter. That has other health risks.

So what? The existence of someone else's profit is not justification for it to be taken. The moral justification for unions is that they prevent mistreatment of employees, not that they can transfer as much of the company's profit as possible to employees.
They still just work. Those arcane non-discoverable features aren't usually needed to do typical things. At least not the things you did back in the day when things just worked. If you liked your iPad from 5 years ago and buy the new one, you can mostly just keep using it the way you always have.

The keyboard fiasco was pretty bad though. Hopefully that's coming to an end.

Local governments are widely acknowledge by political scientists to be be lower quality than national governments, believe it or not, and to have significantly less oversight. The argument for giving them huge power to dictate what people can and can't build on private land is that local regulations can be more tailored to local details. But if all the local governments are, e.g., setting high minimum plot sizes, this is not them responding nimbly to local details; it's just a way to keep out poor people.

If "velocity" is a buzzword that comes up in natural conversation, there's a pretty good chance that's the _only_ thing they're paying attention to. If you're put in the position of managing software developers, but don't know anything about software development, all you can pay attention to is how much time they're spending on "tickets".

Blackhat SEO methods from 5+ years ago may not work anymore, but it's a cat/mouse game, so there are certainly modern methods that work like a charm until Google catches up again.

It's like adblocking. 5+ years ago it was generally enough to target HTML elements with an ID of "advertising-wrapper" or something obvious like that. But ad networks and the sites that implement them got smart and started using generic or randomized IDs so that would work. Then the new method was blocking known advertising domains. Now some of them are starting to serve ads from the same domain you access the site through.

FWIW I'm on a 2018 MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM and while Chrome eats up its share of RAM it doesn't ever cause me any issues. Currently at 17 days system uptime with Chrome running all of that time, currently running 5 windows with at least 10 tabs in each window and Chrome is using 3.8GB RAM. I currently have 19GB RAM free with zero swap use. Can't recall the last time I saw a beach ball or the fans spin up without me doing something I knew would spin the fans up (such as a long ffmpeg encode).
I'm guessing the risk was asymetric for SoftBank vs KSA. SoftBank probably made a ton of money guaranteed by the deals, plus the chance to make a ton more if they worked out.

The mistake in this line of thinking is that a small pool of billionaires getting richer doesn’t leave everyone else behind. Their money is effectively irrelevant in how rich the rest of us are. A 100% wealth tax on all billionaires isn’t enough to fund UBI for one year.

The only upside to “solving wealth inequality” is just to reduce rich people’s ability to big influence in politics. There is no economic or financial reason to do so.
