I'm with you about the first paragraph. People, even violent criminals like the guy portrayed here, deserve a second chance. And in general, sentences in the US are very harsh in my opinion. But I disagree with your extreme statement in the second paragraph.

> I would free every non-violent prisoner. Any person in jail for putting a substance into their own body, or for selling such a substance, does not deserve to be there. Such a waste of society's resources and talent.

Drugs are a waste of society's resources and talent. So many bright young people turned into junkies.

Also, giving hard drugs to someone is a form of violence. The britons did that to weaken China in their attept to colonize it. Pimps often get their women on drugs to make them not leave. etc etc.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/3-types-of-omega-3

From the linked article:-

- not all omega-3s are created equal. Among 11 types, the 3 most important are ALA, EPA, and DHA.

- ALA is mostly found in plants, while EPA and DHA are mostly found in animal foods like fatty fish.

- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the most common omega-3 fatty acid in your diet.

- It’s mostly found in plant foods and needs to be converted into EPA or DHA before it can be utilized by your body for something other than energy.

- However, this conversion process is inefficient in humans. Only a small percentage of ALA is converted into EPA — and even less into DHA (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).

- When ALA is not converted to EPA or DHA, it is simply stored or used as energy like other fats.

- Some observational studies link a diet rich in ALA to a reduced risk of death from heart disease, while others show an increased risk of prostate cancer (7Trusted Source).

- This increase in prostate cancer risk was not associated with the other main omega-3 types, EPA and DHA, which seem to protect against this cancer (8Trusted Source).

I was expecting some pent up MBP demand to buy, so I am surprised sales declined. I still do expect that pent up demand to buy, though I am less confident.

Now I am just guessing while the new 16" made people more willing to buy a new MBP it wasn't getting them to rush and buy one. That is my case, I will likely buy this year, without the new 16" I think it was under 50% chance I bought a MBP (and a bit more likely I got some laptop I could run Ubuntu on).

Specifically, EM with both longitudinal and transverse components which Tesla learned about at the 1889 Exposition Universelle (where the Eiffel tower was "unveiled") and against which he postulated EM waves with no transverse component (sometimes called Tesla waves, which is not to imply they really exist in nature.)

In the western world, raising children is very expensive so people just give up. Instead of solving the cost of raising children to avoid retirement issues, western governments instead import labour. Very odd, given the massive drop in population in those countries.

What do you mean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_diet

And a person "being vegan" clearly means something too.

Just "vegan diet" and "vegan food" are, well, I'd call 'm short cuts. They're needlessly unspecific or even a little contradictory. Like saying "I eat vegetarian": I understand what one tries to say, but it is not entirely correct usage of language.

I mostly agree... I do think it's more of an "if you build it" scenario. Thunderbird isn't big as a mail client, because there isn't the level of integration with either existing providers and/or a self-hosted option.

o365/exchange, gmail/gdocs/gcalendar and fastmail are probably the big three providers that should have seamless integration at this point. A SaaS option from Moz would be nice, as would a self-hosted option. I bring these up in line with Moz's efforts to get VPN subscribers, they could likewise do groupware.
Yes. A lot of the diehards over at /r/apple let slip occasionally how they are always financing the latest and greatest. Which is absurd to me especially for the mac product lines where you are overpaying by thousands for an outdated machine [1].

And the estimate of 3 year lifecycle for wearables like the watch and airpods seems overly optimistic. My airpods are a year old and the battery dwindles in about an hour or two before needing charging, my watch is bricked after 7 months.

When the current debt bubble pops it'll be interesting if it effects Apple revenue as hard as it will the college debt / car debt markets.

What're you doing to your iPhones? I end up holding on to mine for 3+ years each because I can't kill the damn things and it feels so unnecessarily extravagant to upgrade more often.
@Moderator - please see the attached screenshot above and take Strict actions against spammer accounts.
The only thing that the iPhone captured was a latent hunger to make more money.

If companies saw the chance to make money on the Oculus they would jump aboard regardless.

The iPhone had two major advantages that attracted developers - there were already iPhones on the market before the App Store opened and at the time, Apple had an easy payment system via iTunes and millions of credit cards on file. It was estimated that Apple had more credit cards on files than Amazon or it was a close second thanks to iTunes.

It also had a proven customer base of people willing and able to spend money on digital goods.
Meh, I mean, shared mutable state, to me, is the ultimate culprit of threading complexity. If you don't have that, very often many of your problems go away.

Futures and Promises go a long way in making that better. That's not to say that you can always rely on them, but it is far easier to get them right than it is to get threading right with shared mutable state right.

Actors, Channels, Futures, promises, reactive programming, etc. They all have one thing in common. They kill off shared state in favor of message passing.

>A much more balanced article if you ask me.

The word you were looking for wasn't balanced, but "pro-vegan". The article you linked is indeed different; where TFA cited many academic papers, your preferred article seems to have traded most of that sort for unbacked pseudo-scientific assertions such as (paraphrasing) that there's often no such thing as a nutrient deficiency, because your body will simply adapt to make better use of the stuff it's lacking in, like iron.
> You pic a time frame, were China was indeed ahead.

Any time before the 1800s?

> Yes. It basically tells us, that while China was ahead

I thought you said they were never ahead?

> the culture had big weaknesses.

Every culture has weaknesses.

> So big, that they left the world for Europe. What happened to Zheng He?

Oh god, no wonder. You learned pop fiction history. What about zheng he? Your comment is as silly as what happened to the US flights to the moon? It's been 50 years since the last moon landing. Why do you ask? Because there is no financial reason for it. The same thing with zheng he. It was a grand naval theatrical performance which didn't pay any dividends.

As for europe, you act like "culture" is why europe "explored". Why didn't europe "explore" in 1392 or 1292 or 592 or you get the idea. Didn't europe have culture back then? There was no incentive. It wasn't culture that pushed europe to "explore". It was financial incentive. The collapse of the byzantine empire and the end of the golden horde is why columbus sailed for what? Americas? No. He set sail for the east.

> They did not have superior products, they had unique products (silk, tea, porcelain) and only wanted to export but never buy anything.

A product can be unique and superior. The reason why silk and porcelain were desired was precisely because it was superior to anything in europe. Not only that europe had inferior porcelain knock-offs for hundreds of years. You know how like we have inferior chinese knock-offs today, there were inferior europe knock-offs of chinese products. It's why "fine china" was called "fine china".

> They always said, in the arrogance "we don't need anything!". After the military trouble with the west, they realized there was something they should have bought. Technology.

More pop fiction history nonsense you learned from a silly documentary. I watched the same documentaries as you. Might I recommend learning to research and think independently rather than parroting stuff you see on tv? Anyways, I'm sure you'll grow out of this phase eventually as you gain more knowledge and experience. Good luck to you with that.

I think ideally this is the path that should be encouraged for inmates. We already spend so much feeding and housing them, what's more to try to educate them some more? Obviously not all inmates fit this description such as the Unibomber, but it seems like job training or preperation for getting degrees seems like a better investment than letting them out of prison without anyelse to do but more crime.

4M is the best case, and that calculator is probably my least favorite because the screen is awful and the calculator can't drive it efficiently. The best case for a good calculator is 2M, but the most popular is just 512K. Keep in mind that you have to keep at least some of this file in RAM, which is 32K minus the size of your assembler itself.

I was considering the size of the whole toolchain, though. Perhaps if a different toolchain were made from scratch for this purpose... it might be possible.

I don't use spotify for a few reasons. Primarily being I can't add my own music to my library and stream it (you kinda can but it's sub-optimal), second being comfort and usability. You can't easily rearrange your play queue in spotify, while apple music and GPM make this quite easy (including "play next" and "play later" for adding to the front and back of the queue). I find radio stations much better on Apple Music and GPM, Spotify's radio stations/algorithm just don't do it for me.
It's the iOS version of the Android app that got pulled (app.getloaded.bitcoinblast). Seems like a fair assumption that the Android app was substantially similar.

Also anecdotal, but I've owned ~every iPhone since the launch-day original iPhone. I still own every single one, and they all still work like the day I bought them. My iPhone 5 was replaced the day after I bought it due to a few dead pixels. My iPhone X came down with some kind of touch digitizer problem in the first few months I owned it, and again, Apple replaced it under warranty. But overall, longevity for my iPhones has been comparable to every other Apple device I own (e.g. still have the Mac II I grew up with; still works fine).
There are professionals, championships and all.
Follow-up– if all these problems are necessitating yearly upgrades, why aren't you getting your phones fixed under their 1-year warrantee? Batteries, stuck buttons/switches, charging ports, etc. should all be covered.

Even if it can, it's barely useful when it's not in tablet form. We have Dell touchscreen laptops at my office and the only reason people use the touch screen is to scroll with their thumb in the bottom right corner. That hardly seems like a good use case to make the whole screen touch responsive.

What does not sound realistic to me are those who go to sleep at 1am and wake up at 8am; that is crazy. Personally, I am crazy productive from around 6am to 10am. Then I get slower throughout the day.

H/W components don't share state, which is why H/W parallelism easier. Where they do interact with each other, we have to either design fully async logic or worry about metastability. In contrast all kernels are basically all about sharing state. Even in user code and even when, a language such as Go provides channels, a lot of people seem to use shared state (and mutexes and locks).

I am curious as to how your h/w experience makes it easier hacking on the linux kernel....
I don't get it either. A touchscreen is very nice to have on a laptop. You may not use it everyday, but it's very convenient especially to develop touch applications.

The past several years I've been trying to find some tangible philosophical ground to stand on. This (desperate) search is and has been the produce of mental illness I've dealt with since my adolescence (I'm 32 now).

Quite a long story short, I managed to get the mental illness under control; something I thought I'd be living with the rest of my life.

My research has included mostly standing/walking meditation, and reading a lot on philosophy, religion, psychology, and such.

This is a personal project I've only just sort of revealed, after some persuasion by my peers. I didn't really have much intention on putting out in the public but it has turned out to be something significant. There is a lot to say about it.

"Clearview AI helps law enforcement match photos of people to their online images"

The difference to me was night and day and super sketch. Why was this change made? Is ycombinator invested in Clearview?
