Problem is parking. Without free parking it’s useless. And for certain rides it’s simply more convenient and quicker
Exactly my feeling. I've been pondering a couple of recent negative interview experiences and felt this was my main issue. For any normal issue/work/feature/whatever, I'll have a few hours/days to ponder it and think of possible approaches and any issues that I might encounter down the line.

When put on the spot with a time crisis I tend to go too deep down a rabbit hole before realising the shortcoming of the approach I chose to take.

This leads to me usually doing great in take homes, compared to these recent in-person assessments. Also, confounded by having to work on an unfamiliar machine without any of my usual tooling which I'm not a fan of, especially as a keen fan of having a decent debugger set up.
Thanks. Excellent explanations.

Whether a set of cardinality strictly between the rationals and reals exists is independent of ZFC.

There are many sets which are strict supersets of the rationals and strictly sheets of the reals, of course.
I remember finding Cliff Stoll's Klein bottle website a number of years ago when I was younger, but of course I didn't remember the name of the person behind it. The concept prompted a lot of interesting geometry-related thoughts. It was surprising to see this come back up while reading about cybersecurity and what sounds like a neat book!

"Sacred text as cultural genome: an inheritance mechanism and method for studying cultural evolution", https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/2153599X.2016.11...:

> Sacred religious texts have the properties required for an inheritance system. They are replicated across generations with high fidelity and are transcribed into action every generation by the invocation and interpretation of selected passages. In this article we borrow concepts and methods from genetics and epigenetics to study the “expressed phenotypes” of six Christian churches that differ along a conservative–progressive axis. Their phenotypic differences, despite drawing upon the same sacred text, can be explained in part by differential expression of the sacred text. Since the invocation and interpretation of sacred texts are often well preserved, our methods allow the expressed phenotypes of religious groups to be studied at any time and place in history.

I scoffed at Apples for years before getting a 2012 Macbook Pro for the Retina display. I'm still using it 7+ years later whereas the highly rated Vaios and Thinkpads I had before conked out in less than 3 years each. The Unix underlying macOS has been rock solid and I can run whatever I need to. I much prefer Android to iOS though.

I'm worried by what I hear even from full-on Apple aficionados about the new notebooks and Catalina, which I am resisting. I have to use Windows 10 at work and I don't like it nearly as much. Someday this MBP will need replacing and I feel like I am caught with no good option other than dealing with Windows-whatever or paying a huge Apple premium for hardware that may not be worth it.

VoLTE requires carrier support unless some very clever hacks I'm unaware. I am pretty sure that's the case with PinePhone as well, meaning it will drop to 3G.
The following sentence "I am not using it as my daily driver, and I won’t for some time." and "the right phone" make me think that the dozens refer to those who might use this as their singular phone device. I'm sure many more people can afford to splurge on such a device and either play with it, or even forget about it for that matter.
Accessibility permissions allow you to do a lot of really great stuff with Apple Events that is otherwise just completely impossible. I use it very heavily on my own machine.

It's certainly a powerful ability, and I can completely understand not wanting to grant it, but realize that the need is legitimate (and non-malicious) in a lot of cases.
While the baseband runs Linux (IIRC PinePhone uses a Quectel modem), it probably runs proprietary software for the full LTE/3G/2G stack.

> "Steve Jobs was an engineer"

I read the Jobs biography cover to cover, and I'm going to stop you right there, no. The guy who couldn't engineer an Atari game and ripped off his friend's work instead is not an engineer, and the idea that he had any kind of empathy for anyone is frankly hilarious.

He had good taste, and he was a tyrant. In most cases these traits amount to mediocrity. Jobs was in the right place at the right time, in any other situation he'd have been a middle manager at best.
That is clearly not what the original commenter wanted.
It's a lot harder to test without administering the subject in question because there are far more variables to control than (mostly) just A/B. HVAC may confound the study by removing the actual responsible substances, for example, if "air pollution" is not solely the cause.
The only major conservative / anti-progressive argument on this topic I'd give credence to is that corporate power and influence and the resulting abuse of workers is a necessary evil to compete globally. That if you made your nation unto an island with 20 hour work weeks, 2 months paid vacation, a 20 dollar minimum wage (or UBI), public housing, public transit, etc that your economy would rot as capital went places where more exploitation means more profit overall.

Not to say that is an inevitability or even a correct interpretation, but it does lean heavily on the argument that a healthy, educated, rational, and free populace can compete with the export yields of wage slaves overdosing on drugs even if they aren't compelled to do work nobody wants to do for a price nobody wants to take. The question is if people wanting things enough to drive an economy over them needing things.

Historically almost all wealth was built on exploitations - of land, of resources, and of people. What if preventing the exploitation and suffering of your fellows causes everyone to suffer in the long term from economic stagnation? Its a dystopic way to look at the world but given the major economic powerhouses of this and recent eras I just don't see the evidence that its entirely wrong.

The hugely successful SWSX campaign moved Twitter out of the tech-only sphere into other areas. That got non-tech people using it, but by the time of the time of the Aston Kutcher vs CNN race to a million followers (less than 2 years later) it already had its own momentum.
Note that unlike other typical smartphones, this one has the modem as a separate module, so "no blobs" really means more that the FW for it is not easily accessible; but it's obviously there and working.

> Some jurisdictions, as it is, do not spend nearly enough money on street maintenance and upkeep

There's an interesting tension there. I imagine that paving and maintaining streets wide enough to allow for free street parking is a massive drain on the city's street budgets. And, considering that, in my city, an annual on-street parking permit costs about the same as 1 week of off-street parking on the private market, it's probably being provided at a massive discount just on the basis of land value alone.

Combine the two, and it would seem that you've got what amounts to an absolutely massive taxpayer-supported hand-out. Which I could swear is exactly the kind of thing that Americans are supposed to hate the most.
What makes the OP think Tim Cook had any real say in any of the design of the MBP? If anything, Tim probably lets the hardware leadership make the decisions.

Great book. I couldn't put it down. However, it was anti-climactic--just like real life I guess.
My wife just purchased a Klein mug for our mathematician son for Christmas without mentioning it to me.

I opened our email on Monday to see Cliff’s name and a truncated subject line. I then spent the next 20 minutes trying to figure out if a) I was looking at the wrong email account. B) wondering if it was some sort of phishing attempt c) had Cliff started or was working for a security company and he was trying to drum up business.

I finally clicked on the email and was surprised to find pictures of Cliff, a Kleinmug, a box with drawings on it, and his wife’s garden, the flowers were lovely.

I finally went back and read the text of the email to find out that my wife had ordered a Kleinmug.

Frankly it was the most excitement that I’ve had in a long time, getting an email from Cliff Stoll, very cool. I then needed to explain to my family what happened to me, and explain who Cliff was, and why it was important. I was an network admin during the Morris worm attack, and was on some email chains, and on some network news threads with Cliff, after the fact.

The box arrived, but we haven’t opened it yet to check and see if it’s OK, we are waiting for our son to go out. My wife and our daughters are really excited to see the Kleinmug now that they know the backstory, also I think the girls might want a Kleinbottle as well.

Thanks Cliff!!!
And scale I think is only part of the issue. The problem of scale is compounded with 50 different states, all with their own laws, unique geography, and demographics. Then add to that the very high levels of diversity in the U.S. population. There is a diversity of races, religions, and income that doesn't exist in most of these other countries that have been able to implement universal healthcare. (For example, the U.K. is something like 86% white.)
It is a little weird to see the Mac Pro described as so ludicrously high-end that the plebs can't understand it. I would describe it as a mid-range workstation. More than I need for sure, but if you want to talk about Serious Power for Serious People it's got nothing on the high-end Dells or HPs.

The HN echo-chamber algorithm is getting tested to its limit in flagging/deading real news across the world where while it is their rules, its starting to look silly in this case for news like this which also implicitly involves issues in tech.

In regards to the vote to impeach, very unsurprising this happened in a democrat controlled House who did everything from the start to impeach the president following zero evidence of foreign interference in the election and once again here.

I’d say that the charges for this is a desperate reason to impeach and this is exactly why Trump will unfortunately win a second term.
m463 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21830357) totally does: they dislike this feature because they edit the path after copying it, so it's giving access to the wrong thing. They're missing the point that earlier versions of macOS didn't have anything at all.
Yeah bullshit, in the real world you’d refactor.
At this point, unless I talk to someone I trust within a company, I try to reserve all judgement. In fact, I do that with everything nowadays. The internet and modern media skews so negative, according to them nobody is happy anywhere and everything sucks. That hasn't been my experience.

You don't have to tell your Bishop anything. The Bishop doesn't check the amount that you paid and if you wanted extra privacy, you can pay tithing directly to church headquarters. IF you choose to setup an interview with the Bishop, they will ask you if you are "a full tithe payer". Up to you to be truthful or not.

I saw your comment. Clearly, there is a lot of waste, and we both agree on that front. As for exogenous costs, the U.S. isn't the only country with expensive real estate. Almost all of the other OECD countries have a modest degree of real estate cost inflation. Similarly, most should exhibit a similar degree of adherence to the Baumol Cost Disease phenomenon. There is no reason that the U.S. healthcare industry should have a 50-70% higher magnitude of exogenous cost disease. Lastly, I already addressed direct R&D funding (my analogy was simplified, but it could be extended to a portfolio of drugs). However, you mentioned that U.S. purchasing of equipment and drugs disproportionately funds R&D activity. I'm sure that's true, but I see it as a problem to be solved rather than a fact of life. We should adopt universal healthcare just like almost every other developed nation, implement measures to mitigate incentive loss, wait for U.S. medical companies to renegotiate pricing with other countries, and, if incentives are still lacking, we can deal with that then. Surely there's enough money among all developed nations to more than pay for an adequate level of medical R&D.

Somewhat related, but Jennifer Doudna, a government employee, co-discovered CRISPR. CRISPR will prove to be one of the biggest step changes in health outcomes in the history of mankind, or, at some point, supermankind. Now hundreds of pharma companies will try to monetize on the government’s discovery: CRISPR for sickle-cell anemia, CRISPR for congenital retinal defects, CRISPR for lactose intolerance, etc... Should we have to reimburse drug companies for the value of the drug, or should we, recognizing the government’s contribution and the immense value of life, put a reasonable cap on reimbursement? I say the latter. A company developing CRISPR drugs is on record saying they plan to charge over $100,000 for their treatment. I’m not convinced that the drug would not have been developed if they stood to make much less than that per person. We trust the government to grant 20 year monopolies on drugs, and I believe we can also trust the government to reasonably modulate drug reimbursement without ruining incentives for development.
Biased with more information?

> I'm not sure what you mean, you seem to conflate pronunciation and accent.

The concepts are interrelated. If, for example, a given language uses a single representation for two sounds, it is perceived only as accent.

The difference between sh and zh in South American pronunciation of 'yo' (Argentina and Uruguay) is perceived as accent for a Spanish speaker. But they are entirely different consonants for a Polish or Russian speaker.

L and R are just accents of the same letter in Japan, and different consonants in English.

And some people (like some French) have an accent because there are sounds they can not produce.
Good one, there.

But seriously, I have no problem with over 90% of the sites I visit using this Firefox instance. But then there's wired.com and imgur.com, for example, which display just blank pages.

But I'm reasonably confident that it's something evil that they're doing, rather than something silly that I've done.
See, an interesting response would explain why you don't think it's a problem that this doesn't happen in the US. It would refute my claim that indignation is the driver behind social progress. Or maybe it would point out that there have been instances of executives being jailed for white collar crime in the US. Consider Enron.

But instead of engaging with the ideas in my comment, you simply dismissed them as boring and insubstantial. This truly does not add much to the conversation. Next time, just downvote and move on.

Sri Lanka, as well as most of SE Asia (but notably unlike the rest of the world), practice Theravada Buddhism, which is the oldest and most ritualized form of Buddhism. A really rough analogy in Christianity would be Orthodoxy or Catholicism.

But most Buddhism taught in the West descends from the Mahayana school, which teaches that enlightenment is possible in a single lifetime, and thus has a much heavier focus on individual practice and understanding. Again, as a crude analogy, thinks Protestants and printing the Bible in the vernacular so everybody, not just priests, can understand it.

And particularly popular in the West is the most austere branch of them all, Zen (Chan) Buddhism, which aims to strip away as much frippery as possible; again, roughly analogous to Lutheranism.
I don't know if it should go without saying, but don't have two halves of your interview process run by different people/groups with decoupled ideas of what to look for.

I ditched Google completely a year ago:

- DuckDuckGo is not as good, but it gets the job done

- Exporting my contacts to a file was easy

- Converting all of my accounts over to use my new email address was a pain, but not as much as you might think. And Proton Mail offers a pretty good cross-platform user experience.

- Apple Maps, for all the flak it takes, is really quite good most of the time

- YouTube is the only Google app I keep on my phone, because there truly is no alternative, but I don't sign in to it
Can't compete with who? Car2go was the last such service with cars available in my neighborhood.

I had once been an iGo user, but canceled my membership after realizing that 80% of the time I'd either rather take the bus, rather find something else to do, or rather pay (often less money and certainly less time) for delivery services, whichever is more appropriate for the situation in question.

I guess you could frame it as, "Can't compete with the fact that Americans who don't own cars do so because they either prefer other transportation options, don't have much money, or don't have a driver's license."

Both your comment and the parent comment are incorrect. First the individual mandate was not removed. The fine for not complying with the individual mandate was reduced to $0 but the mandate was not removed. This ruling states that since the fine is now $0 it can no longer be considered a tax and therefore is unconstitutional. Based upon this ruling a reimplementation of the individual mandate with a fine above $0 attached would be constitutional.
