Do you also oppose companies negotiating "unfair" contracts that extract "too much" of some other company's profit?

Conda can manage a few things beyond just Pip. Things like binaries, system libs, R installs.

I'm not entirely convinced that's a good thing, but it's an easy path to managing those sorts of libraries alongside your Python libs.
And AMD released the EPYC 7742, 64 Cores for under 7000 USD, which will eat this topped out Intel CPU alive.
I'm incredibly naive but I don't understand why card networks would ever WANT to raise their percentage rates... Hear me out:

- It is perfect rent collecting: minimal costs, benefits hugely from scale, high barrier for competitor entry. You're an "invisible" profit center, if done right.

- It is percentage of transaction: So increases naturally with inflation and your client's success. Loses little on your client's failures.

But instead of just sitting on their hands and raking in their 6% basically forever, they're inflating the percentage which is causing disgruntled clients to look elsewhere and to give a gap where competition can enter.

This is one industry where "boring is king." But it seems like greed may result in legislative or competitive market correction if they keep engaging in these practices.
Might I ask what is DREAD?

Sounds very much like SPECTRE[1]. I hope DREAD has a cool acronym

Yes, I think many people (me included) are frustrated at the base price and take it out on the high end price.

IIRC, the 2009 MacPro base was around $2500, then the 2013 jumped to $3000 for the base and it had fewer cores. This one is $6000, which makes it much more difficult to justify for people who don't work at companies that will buy them.

I have a 2013, but I bought it off eBay for a reasonable price two years ago. I bought a 2009 new but couldn't justify the $3000 base of the 2013.
> He still doesn't mention their relative income.

Because it doesn't matter. As of 2013, you enter combined household income on a credit application, and your income isn't part of your credit score either.

Not the OP, but I would say that yes, sometimes the risk is just too high. There's no inherent right to be granted a security clearance.

To your point though, I'm not sure how a blanket ban of e.g. naturalized citizens from country X jives with anti-discrimination law. If I had a better internet connection at the moment I'd look into it.

iirc, I believe there is a national security exception, and there are obviously others. As a man, go ahead and try to apply for a position as a stripper at a male oriented club, or as a waiter at Hooters. The Christian Coalition of <whatever> isn't required to hire atheists.

"Socialism" might mean different things for different people.

I think the article confuses (when it talks about Sanders) a flatter distribution of income (a feature that I would attribute more to social democratic societies of Nordic countries) and a USSR-style planned economy. The latter failed miserably, but the former is actually something we might want to adapt here in the U.S.

I think you really should have enough room for scaffolding. How are you going to take care of a wall that is physically touching your neighbor's wall? That wall ought to get inspected at least. It might need paint. If one house starts to collapse onto the other, then both have problems. You're also at a higher fire risk, even if the walls in the middle can't burn, because embers can more easily go from one roof to the other.
I think what the parent commenter was trying to say is that merchants raise prices on everything, whether you pay with card or cash, to offset credit card fees. What ends up happening is that customers that pay cash are paying for the rewards I get by using a credit card.
The allegations (made by quite a few people, not just one) were that Apple was turning down/giving worse terms to women that had better income/credit scores than their husbands.

The thing that always confuses me about those threads are the number of people that can work on any operating system. I use Windows at work because I need Visual Studio. It doesn't matter how good Linux or a macOS is, I need VS, SolidWorks, and a handful of other Windows-only pieces of software.

My machine at home is also Windows because I play games on it that aren't available on macOS or Linux.

So I assume that people who buy Macs are running XCode, Omnifocus, and other Mac-only bits of software and likewise people choose Linux because it's the best choice for the software they want to run.

So what's the point of OS arguments in threads like this? Frankly, all the modern operating systems are good enough. What matters are the applications that can run on top of the OS, no?

Beware Imposter syndrome - it's likely you are over thinking this

Second, what is a decent speed of delivery? The thing that most affects speed of delivery is familiarity with the code base. The major, probably only reason senior devs are senior is because they are senior in that codebase. Pluck someone from Facebook and drop them in Google and they will face problems similar to you. Good ones will explore on their own, familiarise themselves, find mentors and build relationships to ask and guide themselves - and even write posts on HN to get guidance!

Thirdly, expecting speed of delivery is the fastest way to destroy a team - or a coherent codebase. People get panicked and either drastically drop their productivity or choose to code really safely, driving code reviewers / team leads to spend more time on managing - whereas removing project managers from the critical path and having an engineering quality as the prime driver is a major help (You night think you are being rejected because quality is too low (and that maybe) but what are the senior devs being driven by? deadlines or quality? That will affect the time they have for mentoring.

This fear is all pervasive - senior devs do t want to venture out of their comfort areas, partly due to time constraints (see project management) and partly fear of not knowing how to intersect with other codebases and people.

passing over code patches to another team is always an act of human relationships - you need time to get up to speed with the codebase, they need good patches to trust you and they need to give you time and mentoring to understand the code base and their taste.

Long story short - asking this is a good sign about you and a bad sign about the mentoring process you are under.

> it’s not the price, it’s the value

1. People can just choose not to buy one if they think it's poor value.

2. Do we have actual concrete products from other companies that are similar in terms of specs and warranty and software and show the Mac Pro to be substantially overpriced? (NOTE: I have no interest in looking at a home built machine with no warranty. Anyone spending > $10k on a machine needs it to work. All the time.)

1. Most people who want to manage won't, period. That's just the math, ICs outnumber managers severalfold.

2. Many people will never become managers because they don't seem "managery." They don't dress right, they don't use the right buzzwords, they have a speech impediment, they speak too truthfully. There are all sorts of cultural factors too that people don't admit. For example, no manager would ever say this point 2 to you, because it's too honest and potentially upsetting.

3. A lot of people will only promote you to manager if they think you'll be able to make them look good, and that's the end of it.
Compensation for filing legitimate claims is an important carrot to encourage people with inside information to speak out. Whistleblowers are routinely subjected to intense retaliation and professional difficulties when they come forward, and the process of claiming and securing an award takes years.

Everything this whistleblower is saying seems consistent with dozens of other stories which have emerged of Boeing's corroded engineering practices.
The whole existence of credit card rewards seems like a failure of the system. Since merchants agree not to charge more to high fee credit card customers, all the other customers end up paying the fees for those rewards. So everyone has to use a credit card with rewards to compensate for that loss and the ultimate losers are the suckers who pay with cash or whatever else.

I refuse to play those games and it surely costs me, but at least I don't have to deal with any of the stupid paperwork and multiple cards in my wallet and keep track of how much pocket money some pointless company is going to give me.

I've always thought this fee + cashback thing is weird, because the merchants just add it back to the cost of the item. Sure, you may be getting that cost back as cash, but the merchant charges you the same if you don't have the super elite card. So isn't this just a sneaky underhanded way to tax the poor which obviously don't have credit to get the super elite card?

Yeah right. And they were living in a jungle with absolutely 0 news for last 10 years. This period is gone, even before "Eschelon" was known fact, after Snowden you really must be ignorant to avoid this news.

This whole sharade is targeting cityzens. I can only speculate why, one could be stupidity and ignorance, profit maybe, or even protecting establishment, mass control. I dont know. But surely it wont affect the "excuses" they are using now.
The app is code-signed with a valid Apple developer ID, but you may be seeing problems because it is not directly distributed through the app store. Per Google apparently a lot of apps have run into this problem: it seems that post-Catalina Apple insists on an additional "notarization" step for non-store apps. I was actually aware of this general problem since there was some hubbub about Electron 7+ apps having issues with that process, but I mistakenly believed I was immune to that problem by pinning to Electron 6. I'll ping you once we've jumped through that hoop, but unfortunately it isn't something that I can fix instantly.

In the meantime you can make an explicit exception by "right-clicking" on the application icon and selecting "Open" from the context menu that pops up.

Lol, I've never even seen at VexFlow before, or if I have I've forgotten about it.

But from a quick scan I think FATpick's tablature view is a little different what VexFlow does. FATpick's view is like a "piano-roll" - the x-axis maps directly to time such that the notes scroll from right to left at a constant rate, with the width of each "bubble" directly corresponding to the duration of that note. VexFlow does "traditional" tablature (and stave) notation, like the sheet music most people are familiar with, in which all notes are more-or-less the same width on the score, independent of duration.

That said, adding conventional (stave) notation to the player view (instead of or in addition to tabs) is on the roadmap, and VexFlow seems like it be very useful for that.

I've been looking for a new domain since my main one is really hard to tell people in person, and I'm annoyed at having to spell it out every time.

So, the TLD .family was coming to the public, and I kept my eye on it. I wanted <my last name>.family. I learned a lot about TLDs during this time (which I've now forgotten). There is some kind of pre-buy period where you can buy domains before anyone else at an increased price. It was too much for me though, so I waited for the public release.

Then it went public, but, my last name was marked as premium for $1000/year. I felt this wasn't fair, as I can't control my birth name! So I emailed the company in control of the domain, and they got back with me with a deal. $1000 one time payment and $20/year thereafter. Still too rich for my blood...
Unions are businesses. They provide labor in exchange for compensation in a mutually negotiated contract. Thus unions are unquestionably a capitalist constuct.

Yeow, I guess the truth hurts. Yes, you seem to be correct, and I personally found it somewhat shocking (though perhaps not surprising) that the NSA did exactly what we're denouncing China for. I suppose you could argue that "there is only one documented case of the US doing it, but dozens or hundreds of cases of China doing it," which might be fair. Still, kinda not cool. Let Germany have their patent on wind turbine designs, or whatever.

In fact, that seems borderline incompetent espionage on the NSA's part. We submitted a patent that was basically identical to theirs, shortly before they did. Really? Hmm, I wonder how anyone could have figured out that something strange was going on?

The referenced article is also interesting: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/electronic-spies-torture...

Apparently Germany's intelligence services are forbidden to participate in industrial espionage, which includes defense against espionage. Therefore they were aware of the espionage but unable to inform the target company. They could only sit and watch.
I'm not sure who defines 'the moral justification for unions' but I see a moral justification just from balancing the power dynamic between the company and the individual worker. Negotiating as a single worker against a company one has profound disadvantages.

> prevent mistreatment of workers, not to transfer as much of the wealth created by a company to its employees as possible.

The wealth is created by the workers, not the company. And some would argue that keeping too large of a share of that wealth is, in fact, a mistreatment of workers.
Maybe they allow it if you're stealing missile secrets?
Probably because they wouldn't have been able to prove intent to murder? If the victim had actually been killed, "Polo" probably would have been charged under the felony murder rule.
> don't need an app in the first place

You need a native app if you need native features not offered by the browser but you can still use chromium webview for the UI. That's my use case at www.waiterio.com.
A webview with React is fast enough for the UI but my app needs to speak with hardware using USB, TCP sockets and Bluetooth sockets.

I'm fully aware of WebUSB but it doesn't work well with the hardware I use. WebUSB seems like a prototype built to work for a demo with Arduino and that's it.

> But Android is slowly limiting the power of apps further and further

I believe Android is adding more fine grained control of apps power permissions but I'm not sure about the reduction in power.

> The whole point of apps is to interact with hardware browsers don't support

I agree on this, I don't criticize apps interacting with native API/SDK. I criticize the UI systems of native apps. On paper swift/kotlin should be fast but in practice Google put so much work in optimizing Chrome and Facebook put so much work on React that Chromium+React is faster than the native UI kits.
That's strange... I wonder if some card issuer has a quality problem? I haven't had any issues with mine at all, but I've had a lot of issues with the barcodes slowly wearing away.
It's insane that credit card rewards are even legal, given that they're basically just a direct transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy.

Object Detection: Lessons Learned
The course was developed quite some time ago by the University of Helsinki with their funds. It's a public university like all Finnish universities, meaning it is funded by taxes.

What's news here is the translation job to translate it to multiple European languages. It takes an additional 1,7 million € and is funded solely by the Ministry of Employment and the Economy of Finland.

I failed to find any claims of EU funding any part of the original development or this translation job. The Finnish Ministry of Employment calls this course a gift from Finland to the European Union. What's your source on this being EU funded?
The intent is not to "tax the poor" though that is effectively an outcome. Rather the intent is for credit card issuers to have a profit potential from short term credit (and to make a given line of credit more attractive for use through rewards).
