Is there a legal definition of ‘server’? Genuinely curious. I ask because today Apple announced the Mac Pro rack-mount edition, which seems oriented to datacenter deployments.

Sorry for bad english, and maybe I am deeply wrong, but:

In extreme cases, it even not "photo" as some information about photons recieved by some optic system with noise reduction afterwards. Not, it just pictures, based on recognised faces, objects and stars. And I don't know why, but I feel panifully bad about it. It is not approximation of world-how-it-is, but some expectation about world-how-people-want-it. It can recognise constellation based on few stars, and will draw nice picture of great stary sky, but will delete starlink sattelite, meteora or supernova as some unexpected noise.

This is the exact sort of thing that liquidation preferences prevent: buybacks at a lower value with the investor's own money.

Because otherwise, yes, you can indeed unscrupulously print capital.

The issue is how capitalism works. No one wants to pay a 1000$ for a domestic flight, but that's the only way you're getting personal space. Flights in the past were expensive, but comfortable.

It's not a right to have space and affordability.

Well that's the thing, you can't waive your rights. That's the whole point of these clauses being unenforceable. This is a really disappointing move on Apple's part. The guy isn't pursuing something competing with any Apple product, or even anything trying to sell back to Apple. He's just going off and doing something else.

I've heard this "it's hard to make money even when you're rich" often, and I just don't understand it.

You don't need to beat the market, you just need to beat inflation + your rate of spending, and you're winning the economic gain. That's very difficult when you're poor, but when rich it shouldn't be harder than a set of diversified index funds and not hemorrhaging money just because you're "rich".

Is there something I'm missing?

It's too bad these aren't allowed any more. I know those populations can be hard to live with, but it's better than having them live on the street.

Why are you still going on about this bizarre single line deletion phenomenon?

The only way a single line deletion that contains curly braces will still compile is if it contains balanced curly braces:

if (cond)
{ foo }
stmt;

All styles which avoid this do not have an issue with the deletion of random single line that contains a curly brace.

Regardless of bracing style, we can easily find lines in a program which can be deleted without causing a compile error, just not ones which open a syntax without closing it and vice versa.

Try not to randomly delete lines from your program, and inspect your "git diff" or what have you should such a thing happen.
Unfortunately, not a surprise at all. Recall that Clarke was one of the guys who OKed the return of the bin Laden family on 9/11 [edit: 1]. Clarke had deep connections to royals and rich elites like the bin Ladens

See how they targeted Qatari individuals including Al Thani himself. They say the incentive was the fight against Al Qaeda. But I am skeptical. This is about the rivalry between the Qatari and other Khaleeji royals (recall that Qatar was kicked out of GCC recently for aligning with rival ideologies like Muslim Brotherhood).

Also interesting to note is that until very recently, America’s Mid East command was in Qatar; so America was playing both sides of that conflict (as usual). I am, of course, assuming that Good Harbor / DREAD have deep federal ties. Not sure about DarkMatter — that seems Emirati.

A thought experiment. Would you rather have a Harvard degree without ever attending Harvard or attend Harvard but have no provable record that you did so?

The overwhelming majority of people would choose the former. Which is pretty strong evidence that the value of a Harvard degree is the social status and credibility that it gives you, not the things you learn in class.

On the contrary, Article V clearly states that it would require legislation on the part of two-thirds of the States, or passage by two-thirds of the House and Senate, and subsequent ratification by three-quarters of the state legislatures.

This would convene a Constitutional Convention, which in turn could rapidly pass an Amendment rendering the existing Constitution null and void upon ratification, after which they could turn their attention to creating and ratifying a new Constitution.

Not only would this be perfectly legal, I consider it an excellent idea.

The problem with all these regulations is that it completely stops all innovation. Imagine what the internet would have turned out to be if, from day one, it was heavily regulated as housing. Imagine if every company or every developer had to get a permit before building any website and every website had to look a certain way with certain margin. We'd be nowhere.

Housing, desperately needs permission-less innovation (completely regulation/zoning free). Maybe not everywhere. But, come on, CA has 163,707 square miles, can we just carve out a couple of those, even if it's just 100 or 200 or so (with enough economies of scale to attract serious VC money), in an area that has no NIMBYs, for build whatever you want and let builders and innovators innovate. We can take what's working and slowly apply it other areas.

At the current rate, the way things are, we're never going to see any progress in housing.
It seems like a natural progression. Obviously you want to stop terrorist attacks before they happen, but now you're not targeting terrorists, you're targeting political dissidents who have a plan to become terrorists. The earlier in the planning stages you can catch them the better. Soon enough you're keeping an eye on them before they've made any plans...
It is always listening. A coworker has Siri enabled and it regularly interrupts meetings because it thought some random noise was a wake word. It then proceeds to do whatever Siri does, which I assume involves sending whatever it hears after that point back to Apple.

Your assumption is mostly correct, but there is another BIG reason they don't sue.

Companies don't have the infrastructure in place to track former employees and see what they are doing just for the purpose of filling law suits. So unless they create a Unicorn and become famous, they are pretty safe no matter what.

I once heard a VC Pitch from a bunch of patent trolls who wanted to create a company that you could subscribe to called "IP Insurance", that would then track your former employees and sue them when they violated their contracts automatically. With the added bonus that they would somehow buy the litigation contract from the original company so negative PR would be all on the Insurance company.
I'm not the person you're replying to but if you actually wanted to live by yourself in SF you could easily spend anywhere between $3500-5000 on rent. Even at a $175k salary that's more or less half of your post-tax pay monthly. For sure that's still livable, but may not make financial sense. Staying with a few housemates take that monthly cost down to $1500-2000 which allows for much more savings, so eventually you could buy a house (maybe somewhere else outside of the bay!). 9 housemates is a bit extreme though.

How about another fun one? :

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the jihadists, in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, prior to and during the military intervention by the USSR in support of its client, the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The program leaned heavily towards supporting militant Islamic groups that were favored by the regime of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in neighboring Pakistan, rather than other, less ideological Afghan resistance groups that had also been fighting the Marxist-oriented Democratic Republic of Afghanistan regime since before the Soviet intervention.[1] Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken;[2] funding officially began with $695,000 in 1979,[3][4] was increased dramatically to $20–$30 million per year in 1980 and rose to $630 million per year in 1987.[1][5][6] Funding continued after 1989 as the mujahideen battled the forces of Mohammad Najibullah's PDPA during the civil war in Afghanistan (1989–1992).[7]
Some YC startups actually started that way.
In service companies (consulting firms, software factories) the path is from business related positions (BA, sales, etc.) to management. Here devs as seen as cogs.

In tech companies the path is from dev to management. Here the BAs and the like are seen as cogs.

But it´s always from individual contributor to middle manager. From there and up the class system seems to be at work as it has always been.

I recently read Permanent Record[1][2] by Edward Snowden and it'll be interesting to contrast his account from Bamford's some 30-40 years ago.

I have to say, Snowden's autobiography was a fantastic read and a chilling look inside the 3-letters agencies. Highly recommended, as the topic is evidently pretty circumstancial to us right now and for the foreseeable future. Also, if you grew up anywhere near the 1980-1990's, especially as a computer geek / nerd, you'll probably love this book for nostalgic / human / relatable reasons.

[Show HN] E-DNA stole money and project from me
I have spent 3 years of work on 2 projects for $0, dreaming that a soon day will be great and will be able to sign a contract with my first customer. I had a so called friend in UK which I trusted, he suggested that we open an office in UK to be able to start the business. I was like "Ok but I need my name as a co-founder", he opened the office and sent me a piece of paper holding my name..etc

Later a discovered that not only both of us are in the company but there are 2 other, and when asked, he said "Jon is the one who will get us the first client believe me". And sure he did, after signing the contract my pie was 5000 GBP, I received half of it and been promised the half once everything is settled as the contract had conditions.

5 months later, they stopped answering me or sending me money. The worst is that without me right now, they are feeding lies and fake data to Easyjet every week.

I want to share this story with everyone with the hope that if any airline company received an offer from E-dna to consider the fact they are nothing but a bunch of liars and thieves.

The business is https://e-dna.co

It's not that I disagree, so much as there are much more entertaining ways to set money on fire, so why do it this way? I mean, at this point would you rather be Adam Neumann or Masa Son? I know my answer.

That's what I was going to say! It's very like when Steve Jobs started NeXt in the 80s, and Apple sued claiming theft of intellectual property and poaching of key staff.

In my opinion the Apple claims had no merit, particularly in California, but Apple still managed to get a settlement that put a lot of limitations on NeXt.

NeXt had to show Apple their prototypes before release, were not allowed to ship a computer before July 1, 1987, and were only allowed to make high-end machines, not compete in the consumer market. They also had to agree not to hire any more Apple employees.

(12 sticks isn't superior to 24; actually, 24 is theoretically better because it is more parallelized, but only if the processors and system bus can handle the full theoretical bandwidth of that much memory...)

Nope, you're exactly right, and it's one of the main engines behind wealth inequality. Once you reach what I personally call material escape velocity, the point at which your lifestyle + inflation < yield on your capital, your wealth accrues up relentlessly. It's like escaping a financial gravity well. Eventually you get to a level where you can weather just about any market shock and then there's basically no way to get sucked back down barring things like death, taxes, divorce etc. The people that have reached this point casually boost on higher while everyone else who hasn't and can't save vs lifestyle needs gets left behind.

You're also right people are thinking beating the market, but that's also a bit silly, you can just buy the market and match it, who needs to beat anything if they've reached this point...
Why do people get so angry about Apple products? I wouldn't buy one, but apparently someone does, and I'm guessing they make enough money using them that they can afford to have the best tools.

What’s the obsession with maxing out? Anything can be made expensive. It’s just gold-plating.

What about ranking price versus the recommended spec for a given task; this would give a better sense of value.
Interesting pricing here, especially if you want to max the system memory out in the future.

128GB ECC DDR4 sticks can be had for about $1000ish a pop, so this is the usual Apple memory markup (to the tune of about double the MSRP)

You need the 24-core CPU to do this, so you're spending an extra $6000. I can't seem to find what exact CPU model they're using, but a close equivalent would appear to be the Xeon W-3265M, which sells for around $6000 and change, so that one's actually at a slight discount assuming that's the right model.

--

I could see myself purchasing one of these and then using it for a combination workstation/VM server. I find that the main constraint on virtual machines tends to be memory, and even if I stick with the base CPU, I'll have room to expand to up to 768 gigs, and the ability to install bog-standard PCI cards that can do pretty much anything else I'd be interested in doing.
