The notion that fire was used for warmth seems implausible.

First, it would take a lot of fuel, and harvesting enough fuel with stone axes would seem to be a great deal of work. When the climate is really cold, as in tundra, fuel is not readily available. Inuit do use fire in igloos. The fuel is seal blubber. It's not clear that the Neanderthals would have had a source of oil.

Second, to live successfully in the cold also required the ability to stay warm while away from the cave for hunting, fishing, and gathering food. It's also necessary to go out and gather more fuel. It's not likely that the Neanderthals could store enough food and fuel in the cave to be able to hunker down all winter. Thus, it seems more likely that the Neanderthals were more cold adapted, may have had more body hair, and likely wore animal skins.

Honestly, Apple is asking for this kind of scrutiny when they apply the 'pro' moniker to any and every product. My iPad Pro is incredible and I love using it, but there is still so much friction involved in doing certain things that are way simpler on my desktop machines.
Unless you are literally operating your own servers in a location that you physically control, you are still relying on someone else.
Thanks.

You made a guide homepage in the post I answerded to, which repeatedly mentions "if you have these symptoms". But the symptoms are not mentioned in the guide.

I think for a proper guide you should absolutely list the symptoms of corona virus at the introduction.

I searched in search engines. As far as I could find the corona virus symptoms are similar to pneumonia. The main symptoms are fever, cough and pain in the lungs.

This is not similar to flu symptoms which do not necessarily spread to the lungs.

Don’t get me wrong, while for the most part, I hate dealing with “pets” and I was hired partially to kill all the servers we could and go all in on AWS’s native hosted toolings, Octopus Deploy is a joy to use even just to deploy CloudFormation templates where the actually code is either in S3 (lambda) or ECR (Docker) not to mention deploying to our remaining pets.

Just the ability to use Octopus Deploy’s library sets that are scoped to environments that can be referenced in Config files and templates is worth paying for.

On the other hand, I am on a mission to kill Jenkins and replace it with AWS CodeBuild - Serverles builds using a Docker Containers.
I feel that a lot of the shortcomings of the iPad as a platform are really a consequence of the chicken or egg problem. For the platform to be viable, you need a lot of good apps, and to make good apps a possibility, the platform needs to be monetizable. Currently, the iPad lacks on all 2 fronts.

Apple isn't leading either on the software front. All the stock apps are just resized apps of their iOS counterparts with nothing extraordinary about them. Most happy users are just using a bigger web-browser, or a bigger drawing app (with the same functionality as on smaller screens), or custom apps that are uploaded on an educational/enterprise portal and are a job requirement. A lot of families use it as an entertainment/learning device for their children where its processing power is underused.

There is almost no money to be made as a developer if you spend all that effort supporting multitasking or adding nice iPadOS-only features. Customers won't pay and Apple only makes your life harder with every OS release.

Your logic is true for an 8-figure VC fund. Its more nuanced for a technically-proficient group looking at 5-6-digit (pre)seed rounds.
Of course it's legal. Anyone holding other ideas has a fundemental misunderstanding of how the web and public spaces work. If you want something to be private then you make it private.

The level of polish and integration between hardware and software with Apple is almost “magical” imho. Or at least very praiseworthy.

Compared to typical Windows laptop trackpads or most Android phones’ janky scrolling, Apple does a much better job getting better performance out of their hardware.
The best way I've found (cold showering only for muscle recovery) is to get your face/head wet first. Every other way seems less comfortable to me. It's similar to jumping into a pool versus stepping in slowly.
Gotcha. Yeah the mental effects of Chernobyl melded with all the fears about nuclear weapons fallout, which Russians and American had been scaring people with for years at that point.

The nuclear industry totally failed to recover from a PR point of view, and since then has hid under a rock rather than explained how low carbon and safe it is.

This way of thinking will only ever displace the problem and not solve it. What mean is used to send these bomb threats matters little as the perpetrators can always shift to something else.

I mean they could literally just use a physical mailbox, a burner phone, etc., and you'd have absolutely no idea who sent it either and the problem would be the same.

Let's not even start with the implications of governments being able to access communications such as journalists and their sources.

I finally emailed my bosses asking our company to give about 100$ a month spread over various projects. I thought not to ask too much as 100$ infinitely much more than 0.

We're not a very big company, could easily afford 1k a month though, but then it becomes an actual sum that's harder to motivate as we're mainly working with MS products.
I sometimes watch the German version of "The Chase" [0]. I am often completely flabbergasted by the quiz competency of the Chaser. They regularly know the answer to questions which are so outlandish that there is no way you can explain their success only with intelligence or talent. Even if you had absolute memory or an IQ of > 200, there is just no way you would've ever been exposed to the correct answer of some of these questions.

So paragraphs like these come as a relieve to me:

> Gibson has built himself software into which he keys facts that he comes across; on some days, he will add as many as 100 facts to his database, culled from books, TV or his perusal of The Times over breakfast. If he is driving and he hears something compelling on the radio, he will pull over and scribble it down in the notebook he always carries with him. He sets time aside for revision. He may decide, next week, that it’s been too long since he brushed up on the Vietnam war, so he will call up the file and study it.

What if someone gave you change in cash, then you went to deposit it at a bank, and they refused to take it because those bills were in a registry?

You could check the registry yourself before accepting change, but what if those bills weren't in the registry when you checked?

Such a system could be implemented for bitcoin but there are crypto currencies with stronger privacy guarantees for which this would be practically impossible (those guarantees could maybe be cracked in the future, people are working hard on both sides).
I love beginner’s mindset and usually takes me quite far as I don’t have any idea what the proper limits are. However, I do find it unpleasant when a more advanced person explains advanced concepts that are not gradpable yet even though they make sense. I need to digest it myself first. And ocasionally I find the advanced person who articulates exactly what I was stuck at but was unable to ask for help
Since 2015 or thereabouts, my opinion has been that tablets plateaued and have faltered because of what I call "Yet Another Application Platform Dilemma." [1] Many people who already have a PC and phone don't really want, let alone need, another in-between device that they have to babysit and manage.

That said, I agree with the OP's argument, which is effectively that if you have to go out of your way to say, "No really, you can do real work on an iPad," you have missed the point. Of course you can do real work on a lot of devices. Is the device particularly good at it, though? Maybe, in some cases. But for a large number of us—and apparently that number is large enough to slow tablet sales—doing work on a tablet is just not good enough. We're either in "Work mode" where a laptop is better or in "Consumption mode" where the laptop or phone is just fine.

It's funny that in this thread people are saying the same thing that the OP pointed out. In effect: "You can do real work on an iPad." Great. But the topic at hand, whether you care about it or not, is conjecture about why the devices are not selling better.

This guy used to write pretty good articles, but this one is egocentric nonsense. I don't personally use an iPad for work much either, but I edit video and photos, and make music on one - all three of those tasks I prefer to do on my iPad.
Not to discourage you but this seems like a tough sell. Most people gain weight because they don't want to plan out or make nutricious meals. The strategy I've always used is to figure out some small number of meals and then just pick one of them. It removes any mental load for shopping and cooking and you only have to figure it out once. It would be useful to suggest very very quick meals that are Y calories or less.

Far from being "a common misconception", it's definitely true that solar power plants closer to the equator have a higher capacity factor than solar power plants further from the equator. It's true that warm solar panels are less efficient than cooler solar panels, but there are two countervailing effects: solar panels (at a given temperature) become more efficient when more brightly illuminated, and the day is longer and there are less clouds in tropical regions. It turns out that these effects are enormously more important than the thermal effect. That's why PV in the UK has a capacity factor of 11%, German PV 10%, Maine PV 12%, California PV 28%, and Arizona PV 29%.

There's a lovely bargraph in the US at https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=39832 and an even nicer colorcoded map of the US at http://euanmearns.com/solar-pv-capacity-factors-in-the-us-th...
> Because I for one and sick and tired of wealth worship in this country.

Amen brother! As I was leaving the house this morning I caught a snippet of something about Oprah being on a tour; top tickets are in the thousands of dollars. Nothing against Oprah but what does she have to say that is actionable and I haven't heard before, that I (or anyone, really) should pay to hear? I think it was Gore Vidal (rest his crusty vituperative heart) who wrote that Americans think proximity to wealth eventually confers it on them, especially if they f*-- it. Paraphrased obviously, am not about to google it at work.
>Verbal cultures in Australia have kept an accurate account of a coastline that existed over 10,000 years ago.

I've heard this as well, but I never heard any convincing evidence that the native's myth didn't happen to align with reality. Further, this sort of 10,000 year old knowledge seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
My issue isn't that I don't want to pay the paywall -- it's that because people broadly don't prefer paywalls that relying on them rather than a thriving online ad business means they can't hire more reporters, video people, data folks, etc.

So at the end of the day, it means I don't get to enjoy as much quality content from the publications that I love.

In my view, I end up with the best content when advertisers aren't going to one or two central places for their ad buys online. I'm actually an advertiser, myself (as just one part of my job). And I certainly know how my own buying practices have shifted over the past 14 years to now be 100% focused on FB/Google. Some of the Google money trickles down to other publications, and certainly this makes my job easier, but I don't think it's a good thing as somebody who also loves reading online.
That's correct. I realize my parent comment was ambiguous. I'm the author of the port; the video is by a different developer who's since taken it down.

Or maybe all buy orders have disappeared. Looking at the last exchange price does not measure the value of a cryptocurrency, you need to look inside order books to see if anyone is even interested in buying your cryptocurrency. It’s not relevant to the value of your cryptocurrency that someone was once willing to buy it.

The article's title gives me the cognitive dissonance. Glad it was changed for HN. To add my own interpretation, "US court appears to legalizes X and technically prohibits it" -- what is this "it" the court prohibits, and why do I want to assume the title's subject, which doesn't make sense at all. You don't "legalize X and technically prohibit X". Was the originally intended title truncated somehow?

Medallion is for employees of Renaissance. It doesn't have customers/partners. If you accept that Renaissance is good at what it does, it's simple to posit that Renaiisance reserves its most profitable activities for its own employees as preferred customers/partners, as a compensation vehicle and a PR/recruiting tactic to make Renaissance look more impressive. Medallion is like Google's "X", in that sense.

This explanation shows why Medallion's high returns are possible, and also why Medallion not actually better than Renaissance's overall average performance (that is, could not be replicated as an indepdent spin of without the rest of Renaissance to extract value from), beyond an acconting illusion to make ordinary wages look like investing.

It's not at all surprising that this could be how Medallian works, since that's just an application hedging, which is Renaissance's core business.

Happily, your efforts will likely be for naught. Even if most people don't care about the many incarcerated victims of prisoner violence, powerful people do care about violence against prison wardens and staff, so solitary is unlikely to go away.

I'm 100% for significant prison reform. We have far, far too many nonviolent offenders, or offenders who made a one-time really poor decision in a bar fight or something similar, housed together in prison with psychopaths, gang members, and ultra-violent inmates. But until the day comes when only habitually violent prisoners are housed together in prison, facilities for solitary confinement are needed, not only for violent prisoners, but for people in protective custody.
