I did the keto diet for the majority of last year to lose weight. It was extremely successful and I lost 75 pounds. I noticed the exact same thing you did in regards to energy levels and overall just feeling better. My energy levels did not fluctuate at all during the day, even post heavy meals. I also didn't seem to have any of those random days where you just feel like you're dragging along.

You're trying to spread misogynistic conspiracy theories and comparing that to Iranian propaganda... That's absolutely a false equivalency. You had a chance to make an argument to support your position but...

Everyone has been spamming "Manufacturing Consent" like crazy recently. Just telling people to read it doesn't support any argument, it's just an attempt to appear high-brow because Chomsky. You need to specify how Chomsky supports your argument.
Tim Cook has added $1 trillion dollars to Apple's market cap since he took over.

Apple's ability to sell a new IPhone every year is honestly the stuff of legends, it almost defies logic but they keep on executing it.

It is a bit interesting to see misses from Macs, IPads and services. Which tells you Apple is still very much an iphone story.
I think the fact that Macs don't have touch screens (like MS Surface) is really starting to hurt them. I don't understand it at all... they clearly have the tech know-how. Maybe they are worried that doing that would kill iPad sales?
We've been buying up a shitload of 2017/2018 refurbs. They're perfectly fine even with the keyboard.
I also wonder, when a phone is financed, who is fronting the cash?

Is the inventory already on the books of the cellular provider?

Is there a third party? Is it securitized?

This business model seems similar to leasing a car.
Ha, no problem. It's based off another quote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke%27s_three_laws
Just a little sad to see how much value they put into the iPhone and services while iPad and Mac software is lacking. Obviously, they're making money, and that's their goal. However, I think sales could be boosted for the iPads and Macs if they increased the quality of the software for those devices.

Can you elaborate on this? How do you make use of Ubuntu in this way and why was it hard to use Yocto? For the usual embedded Linux workflows I'm used to, it seems like building on top of Ubuntu would necessitate re-implementing Yocto features.
Easy enough to find, here's an editor of the Guardian calling out the President of MEMRI for just that:

"The fact is that you gave evidence to Congress claiming that Gallup had found "a large majority of the Arab world" who believed the September 11 attacks "were the work of the United States government itself and/or a Jewish conspiracy". What you said is untrue, and Gallup has confirmed that. I trust you will now apologise to Congress for your false testimony. Finally, in the light of your most recent remarks about me personally, I will make clear now that your nationality and religion do not bother me in the slightest. What does concern me is your political agenda, and the deceitful way you go about promoting it."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jan/28/israel2

Regarding the 'ideological echo chamber,' I fully concur. MEMRI's board has included such characters as Elliot Abrams, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Bolton, so the discriminating reader should take that into consideration as well.

> Mac Pro was released too late for the quarter

That's fair

> it starts at $6000

The pricing/features can be (have been) debated ad infinitum, but no matter which way you slice it, it represents a huge new direction for the Mac line and at least at the high-end, industry professionals are excited about it. It's a big deal, and it's not a flop, so it should have an impact (next quarter, it seems).

> and despite complaints, the previous gen TouchBars are working decently for most people

Most people probably won't be trading in their 2018 MBPs for the new 16-inch, but given the strong feelings out there about the keyboard and airflow I'd bet some people will.

And more importantly there are people like me, who were holding off on a long-coming upgrade for a moment exactly like this, when Apple's solved the biggest issues with the design. It should've registered as some kind of sales bump, even if not a massive one.
I bounce back and forth. I don't notice any difference in thoughtfully planed diet that does or does not contain meat. I'm pretty active (marathon runner, weight lifting etc) so I'm particularly sensitive to diet changes. It's hard to be vegan without food prep which is what can really skyrocket your health
I’m sorry I misunderstood. I hope you don’t mind that I took the opportunity to clarify my position just because I felt it had to be said, not because I’m arguing with you :-)
This looks promising, although I'm not convinced that I sufficiently understand their privacy policy or restrictions on what member sites can do with my data.

So I'm not quite ready to give this a try. I'll keep a close eye on it, though -- this seems like a worthy experiment.
I find your lack of empathy disturbing. Literally. I would recommend trying to change that.
We're a small SaaS and do a regular, usually quarterly, "speed day" where we look at various reports. Any files we could compress further (or combine in the pre-http/2 times)? Is the hardware still adequate? Do we cache enough? So it's important. But outside of most pricing ranges for automated tools since we only have one website with few pages and don't check the reports often enough.

Don't let that discourage you. $29 month is a reasonable price for the number of tests, especially for companies. Charging annual makes sense at the early bootstrap stage. (Our smallest plan is $50, we loose some customers, possibly to the competition but we target B2B primarily).

Website https://perfbeacon.com/ looks good, add more features and content, improve in small steps, marketing of course and just be patient until the customers come.

I'm following https://twitter.com/sinequanonh on Twitter and it's amazing how every small step seems to bring in more revenue. (His service that pings websites and reports latency performance)
Hi HN,

I recently published Webdext to Chrome Web Store. Webdext is an intelligent web data extractor. It allows you to extract listing data (product listing, news listing, search result) from web pages without coding your own scraper.

Features:

1. Extract list data automatically.

Just open the web page, wait until all target elements are loaded, then click "Intelligent Extract" button.

2. Generate extraction rules.

Based on intelligent extraction result, Webdext can generate extraction rules. You can use the extraction rules to extract data from other web pages having the same layout. Data extraction using stored extraction rules will be faster than "Intelligent Extraction" because it doesn't need to find pattern on the web page. Webdext will just execute the rules and display the result.

Webdext was part of my Master thesis project two years ago. Initially, I wanted to add more features (pagination handling, data extraction from detail page, etc.) before publishing it to Chrome Web Store. However, I don't have the time (and motivation ) to implement those features. So maybe if many people are interested in using Webdext, I can get enough motivation to implement those features.

Please submit your feedback here: https://forms.gle/uC7dXdSAP4cBCbQk7 Thanks!
The issue with food deserts isn't lack of available food, it's lack of good options being for a number of connected reasons. I'm suggesting that providing more "right kinds" of food at the source (e.g. farms) is perhaps not enough to shift this dynamic.
Isn't it "sudo -i" for a login shell, vs. -s for non-login?

Industry hasn't caught up yet with the iPad, because it's a very different tool.

But you can see it start to happen. An iPad is becoming the default point of sale system in a lot of places. My wife works with autistic kids; he doesn't have a computer, he has an iPad so he can go from recording behavioral data to YouTube in a fluid motion.

The iPad stumbled because it was supposed to be a consumer device, and then developers and users realized it filled a niche for a lot of creation tasks, and Apple has been playing catch-up ever since.
12% drop for the iPads. Unsurprising.

The people who want the lower end of the price range are still perfectly happy with their 5-7 year old iPads. Top of the line suffers in that most people in that market are probably fine or even better off with a MacBook Air/Pro, and they may even save a few dollars instead of buying a Smart Keyboard/folio.

Related to the 10 year anniversary: the iPad should be so much more capable than it is. I don't think the people behind shipping the first iteration are happy with its current state a decade later.
Background: Microsoft stopped developing this SDK September last year¹. Right now they are suggesting to use the OpenCensus project². IMO this is too big of a framework if my only use case is to send a few metrics to Application Insights. Furthermore it does not support all features (e.g. tracking availability).

I'm seriously thinking this is paid journalism.

A much more balanced article if you ask me. Both journalists are freelancers.
Cynical take: I'm pretty sure we've all agreed to ToSes that has allowed our faces to end up online. Clearview AI is just doing what a detective with an eye for faces and unlimited time is doing.

It's time to move to what criminal reform activists call 'restorative justice'. We lock you up, possibly contract your labor to some shady organization, and don't provide enough tools for those who've served their time to get back on their feet and contribute.

We can see these effects in the economy if you look closely, the labor participation rate among men is declining, most new jobs (which are service jobs) go to women, millions of men are missing in our society due to this system which throws away human capital. For what?

iMessage has done more to hold back messaging in the US than anything else. Even if Google was competent at messaging it wouldn't matter because iOS users wouldn't switch and Apple refuses to open up iMessage to non-Apple devices.

I'm still using SMS for most of my messaging, and I primarily blame Apple for that.
macOS isn't suited for a touch-screen and it would create a bad experience in many contexts, which Apple has a history of steering clear of. Anyway, I've never understood the purpose of a touch-screen on a laptop if it can't transform completely into a tablet.

I support the Portugal policy: decriminalize opioid use and provide free injections at all police stations. Come in to the police station, and a nurse will administer your heroin. This policy completely eliminated violent and property crimes from people looking for money to buy opioids, killed the opioid illicit market, and reduced addiction overall. It's a good policy.

Those who get addicted then prostitute children and murder others to get money for drugs should be put out of their misery, humanely, via the death penalty.

In the OP's case, Mr. Brandon Sobosle Brown was kicked out of a nightclub by bouncer and ex-Marine James Sanders. Brown then shot Sanders as punishment with a .357-caliber handgun on June 24, 2008, permanently paralyzing Sanders.

Hopefully Brown's research will get him money to help support Sanders. Brown's crocodile tears regarding his cold blooded attempted murder are not impressive. The sentence of 17 years is far too short for what he did.
I'm considering a Surface Pro X for this purpose. Better aspect ratio, better first-party thin keyboard, bundled LTE, fair price relative to the iPad Pro, better developer tool support (though, its still ARM Windows so...)

My dream is an ultra-thin, low/medium power device that essentially just runs the editor, plus a full local CLI environment and maybe some basic stuff like compilers/etc, move all the super hungry stuff like containers, databases, queues etc to the cloud. iPad is kind of there, though you're probably still going to be editing off of an SFTP share if you want to use one of the mediocre editors available on the App Store. Plus any web development is still a pipe dream given the lack of dev tooling in Safari mobile. Backend-facing development is more possible, but the Surface Pro X feels much closer to this dream.
That's right. Because farms and delivery infrastructure use less and less people and/or pay them less.
Hmm, it does seem like they are not using think time.

From the official TPC-C specification[0]:

> The maximum throughput is achieved with infinitely fast transactions resulting in a null response time and minimum required wait times. The intent of this clause is to prevent reporting a throughput that exceeds this maximum, which is computed to be 12.86 tpmC per warehouse.

So the maximum result they should be able to get at 100K warehouses is 1,286,000 tpmC.

To reach higher, they should do what Alibaba did[1] and use 4,794,240 warehouses. They got officially accepted with a result which dwarfs even Planetary’s incorrect benchmark.

I'll happily "loose" this whatever this discussion is if I'm wrong (but the "win" reference is now removed from your comment) but the basic idea is:

1. Servo supports many web standards, not XUL

2. The firefox UI used to be built in XUL

3. The firefox UI is now not built on XUL, but rather on web standards

This means that the firefox UI can now be rendered by servo or similar components.

That's basically the parent comment. If you disagree with any of those facts that's an interesting discussion, but I think you think that somebody said that the firefox UI could not be built on gecko previously, which nobody said.

Probably several dark versions of this out there have access to this type of technology already. Its just too tempting for maleficent organizations around the world to ignore.

It'd be great to hear a comparison of when you'd want to use Deviceplane vs something like mender.io or updatehub.io. I'm a great fan of the A/B dual image update strategy because it's simple, atomic and resilient to errors or loss of power during an update. Does Deviceplane still provide some of those assurances or would I want to use Deviceplane in conjunction with something like Mender?

I deploy updates on IoT devices that are unattended and can only afford minimal downtime. If an interrupted update (due to loss of network connectivity or power) caused a device to be unreachable/unupdateable it would be bad. I'd also be concerned with using DevicePlane as it's presented because I'd have no way of updating the device's kernel version that I first deploy with.

>Wild, sustainably caught fish is the diet to go for if you care about the environment

But not if you care about fish.

I'm always gobsmacked hearing talk like this...from people that apparently have been taught to view animals as...just machines, tools for humans, as if they don't have a life of their own. Just atoms at the disposal of humans. "Stock." Somehow the limit of our "care" is killing them at a rate ("sustainably caught") that enables we can go on doing so.

"Self-sacrifice"? Is it a self-sacrifice for you to not, say, own slaves or eat people? No. Those things seem wrong so you don't do them, or they doesn't even occur to you as options, although they used to be societal habits. Not eating animals seems like that to me.
