They're answering two different questions: what do vocal customers say they want and what does the mean customer actually do?

History is littered with beautiful products that only like five people actually wanted. I love the Chevy Volt, it fits my use case perfectly and is everything I would ask for in a hybrid right now, but it's sales numbers were objectively crap. It was basically a Chevy Cruze, but sold something like 1/20th the number of units over the same time period; I'm not surprised it was discontinued.

Analytics-driven design leads to unexciting products that are useful enough to most people, with only occasional forays outside the mean when a subteam manages to launch an "unnecessary" feature with neutral metrics (until another subteam discovered the feature can be turned down with neutral metrics). It's not surprising companies love that style of development.
You have to think of a hackintosh like an android phone. You might get OS updates or not but mostly whatever OS version it starts with will stay on it for life. You will certainly not be able to update immediately. For some people that's fine, for others who are dependant on Xcode which needs constant OS updates, it's not fine. Really depends on your use case.
Yes yes yes. I’ve often wondered why they didn’t do this. Having to go through silly hoops like full exit back to the spring board to launch an app so that it is available in the dock to pick for split view... why not just use the springboard in the first place.
Both the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China claim to be the sole legitimate government of all of China. Only one color is needed.

>The political and legal statuses of Taiwan are contentious issues. The People's Republic of China (PRC) claims that the Republic of China government is illegitimate, referring to it as the "Taiwan Authority". The ROC has its own constitution, independently elected president and armed forces. It has not formally renounced its claim to the mainland, but ROC government publications have increasingly downplayed it.

It was my partner's former phone but she eventually broke the camera, and it was quite sluggish.
However, it has a big screen, a big battery life, and had cost me 150€ anyway.

For those who support sci-hub's mission and would like to help ensure it can never be taken away, you may be interested in the following project to lay the groundwork necessary for a widely-replicated, decentralized version of the repository:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/ed9byj/library...

All of the documents accessed through sci-hub are archived by the library genesis project and made available as torrents. Currently there are just over 80 million articles included in these torrents. The total size of the archive is around 70TB. The link above also refers to the library genesis books collection, which is 33TB.

This effort has seen tremendous interest in recent weeks; the books collection (libgen) is now widely replicated, but around a third of the scimag articles collection (i.e. those from sci-hub) has only 1-2 reliable seeders and needs more before it can be considered safely backed up. If you have the resources available, I would encourage you to consider assisting. Previous discussion of this project is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21692222

Looking forward, the next step is to find a suitable way of providing accessible, truly decentralized access, without relying on a single point of failure (i.e. a web interface). Some have been exploring IPFS as a potential mechanism, but there are many ways this could be done. This is a challenging but important problem to solve; with the data available, there is now an opportunity for developers to address the access issues. There may come a day when the sci-hub website goes offline, and it would be good if a fallback is already in place at that point.

Aaron Swartz may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on. It's now up to us to carry on the fight for which he paid so dearly.
Dual boot. Two SSDSs.
As I said elsewhere when that argument was made; it’s a very tenuous connection. Things named after him isn’t the same as things he was directly involved in.

I love Monty Python but it’s disingenuous to claim they they’re any more “on topic” than a basketball player (and I say this as someone who’s not generally a sports fan).

The only real difference between the two is one is more popular on HN than the other. Which is a real shitty reason to flag an obituary in my opinion.
My main gripe is that Apple chose to very aggressively kill or sleep apps running in the background.

I can understand this from a battery perspective but why not give us an option to let certain apps run in the background, especially when the iPad is plugged in to power.

As an example, if I start a download in Safari, I can’t use a different app until Safari finishes the download. I could use split-screen but who wants to watch a video I split screen.
Speaking of mini iphone... I have so many iPhone only apps that I wish I could run in the “mini iPhone split” next to whatever else I am doing rather than forcing them to take over the whole screen with an iPhone sized picture in the middle.

As a person in Eastern Europe I also kind of envy this but then I remember that the cost of living here is way lower and I am leading pretty good life with the money that I make so it ain't that bad. It is better to just enjoy life instead of being constantly worried if you make enough.

The software is important, but the real reason for the iPad's existence is the physical aspects.

Form is function.

Bigger than phone, touched orientated versus keyboard/mouse mac.

That's also whythe physically 'panic' home button was very good.

Personally the most interesting feature of the iPad these days is the pen - a way of physically interacting with the computer that's different.

At the end of the day, the 'user interface' isn't just software it's physical. Whether it be touch, voice, pen, or keyboard.

One of the problems with the more 'advanced' UI features/gestures is that they don't anchor in the physical - you have no idea it existed or why the software responded in that way.
Can we predict if a movie will do well before launch?
The current business model of publishers is predatory and harms science more than it helps, but I see self publishing and private open source initiatives as equally problematic. The definitive long-term solution, in my view, is a centralized public repository, like the Library of Congress. Call it the Federal Scientific Repository or the National Research Papers Database. It would be funded by Congress, or the LoC, and peer review would still occur. But the process of publishing papers in journals with editors and letters to the editor, as well as the environmental and financial expense of printing thousands of paper copies of these publications and shipping them to universities around the country, will cease. The hundreds (if not thousands) of thick volumes on the shelves of university libraries are never consulted by anybody - researchers use the Internet - and take up too much valuable space. It's time the research world catches up.
I don't think anyone would disagree that wealthy European countries are privileged, or that they should do more. But there is actual, tangible progress being made here. To maintain the hard-line cynical view is in itself a form of 'virtue signalling'.

Someone who is more versed in the usual statistics, how serious is it? Without domain knowledge, I have no idea if the few dozen deaths in this period at these locations is significant or not.
Right. Plus, it would only take Apple to start using a custom firmware to only allow hardware that is exclusive to Apple’s computers.
If in earnest, yes. But if more like in jest, than actual hurt feelings spite, why the heck not. It can be fun.

My somewhat humorous take back in the day - the terms said the OS must only run on Apple labeled hardware. So I labelled the hardware with a couple of Apple stickers. That should do it, right?! :-D

(If I recall correctly the stickers even came with the Snow Leopard DVD...)

I analysed the Templar website grid watch records for I think 2017 and they showed a period of five days with no wind and overall, wind generation was about 30% of the rated maximum over the year. Also don't forget that turbines close down if the winds are too strong as well as too weak.
All of this is in addition to the normal flu.
I have a similar commute and experience the same thing. People dragging along in left and middle lanes. This winds up aggravating selfish and entitled road rage types who then proceed to tailgate and forcibly cut across to get around these people.

One thing about driving, it's the closest we get to bellum omnium contra omnes. You don't see the other vehicles as an extension of the driver, a person, but rather a singular inhuman being you want to fight. People lose their humanity on the road.

> I think this isn't taught anymore.

Driver instruction is a joke here in the USA. I got my license around 2001 in NYC. The test was 20 brain dead questions such as "what sign is this: [school crossing]" and you look up and on the wall is a huge PSA poster of the school crossing sign with the slogan "Schools open. Drive carefully." So they practically gave the answers away. Driving school is optional and all they do is show you an hour long video that nobody watched which the proctor turned off after 15 min. Then you drive around the neighborhood for a half an hour with two others and an instructor a few days. No rules of the road, no etiquette, no nothing. The tests should be much harder, rules and etiquette drilled. The bar must be raised.

I'll give the CDL (commercial Drivers License) more credit. It's the equivalent to what I think is an HGV license in Europe. Though I never got the license I took the test for class A with as many endorsements as I could(tank, hazmat, and doubles/triples). Quite challenging and you have to know how some of the systems on the truck work such as air brakes. I failed it the first go as I thought I knew better but some old terminology tripped me up.

The data flow programming of pure pipeline structure, It systematically simulates integrated circuit systems and large industrial production lines.

In the computer field, for the first time, it was realized that the unification of hardware engineering and software engineering on the logical model.

It has been extended from Lisp language-level code and data unification to system engineering-level software and hardware unification.

and it brings large industrial production theory and methods to software engineering. It incorporates IT industry into modern large industrial production systems, This is an epoch-making innovative theory and method.

This is the [Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow v3.0 with Warehouse/Workshop Model](https://github.com/linpengcheng/PurefunctionPipelineDataflow).
Here's the UK government's take on that https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/heat-in-buildings

"We want to lower the barriers to the take-up of low carbon heating and cooling. We also want to sustain a viable supply chain for heat pumps beyond the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), while not closing off options for longer term heat decarbonisation.

There are a variety of technologies with potential to contribute to the transformation necessary to meet 2050 targets – including heat networks, heat pumps, hydrogen and biogas. It is not yet clear which combination of these will work best at scale and keep costs down. Different approaches need to be tested further as we develop a long-term plan that delivers the best solution for consumers."

IAM is going to be "required" for the root account, though, shutting that away is a good practice.

In lieu of IAM you can use federated access from an identity provider like Okta. That will lease a role which can then adopt other roles (even across accounts). Okta is integrated with a more formal IT system like Active Directory and then all your accesses and identity can be managed by them. I think this is the AWS side doc for the setup https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_pr...

I also know Nike does something very similar and shared about it here https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds including the Okta side documentation.
Is it really that few fully recovered?
there is a certain cynicism regarding traffic laws in the US. many drivers feel that some of the laws are in place for the sole purpose of revenue collection or to give the police an excuse to pull you over, absent any real safety concern. in my state, for example, it is against the law to have anything dangling from the rearview mirror. if I so much as forget to take down my parking permit in the morning, I can be pulled over at any time.

fwiw, I take traffic flow very seriously. I will always move over if I notice someone driving close behind me.

Agree 1000%.

For native macs that’s probably the case, but I spent so much time just getting basic features of my hackintosh to work. If I wanted to change audio source from headphones to HDMI I needed to add/remove kexts and restart!
My understanding is that it is an implementation of software RAID that enables pools of drives of multiple sizes, plus some tiering for caching. Which is why they disabled the traditional windows software RAID.

Another useful tip which doesn't require always doing '00': when editing the library code, import things like this:

import mylib; importlib.reload(mylib); from mylib import foo

Then in most cases except some very entangled ones, you can simply rerun this cell without having to restart the kernel (especially if it requires reloading all the data).
I unfortunately did not see your comment until now and it seems this forum does not lend itself to actual in depth discussions of any substance, with a clear intent of attracting and harvesting technical skills and knowledge from gullible tech people; but I think you misunderstood something.

I am not referring to "corporate slaves" as being the well paid equivalent of the nobility or and even lower aristocracy of the past, or their equivalent in different times. I am referring to the fact that the "kings and emperors" of today developed a new model for "slavery", or, to generalize, exploitation of some by others to support their excessive and parasitic life. You are misunderstanding the relational nature of the system. What it comes down to is that the ruling psychopaths realized they could become extremely wealthy by simply shifting the "slavery" aspect to a kind of nickel and diming of everyone under a threshold that breaks their willingness to freely engage, rather than forcing unproductive and unwilling slaves that you also have to take care of. It is actually what is referred to when "economists" stalk about taxation stifling production or willingness to be productive … what they really mean or should be saying is that it is the rate at which you deprive the slave of their willingness to work, relative to coercive force required to overcome that innate will. There are dependencies; profit, free will, force … largely two will go up as one goes down, but not at the same rate, even though the ruling psychopaths keep trying to manipulate things, thinking they can have all of it … until things invariably break and snap.

It's always good to have an old device on hand for performance testing. It's easier to discover performance issues on a slow machine, as you get to experience the lag first hand.

Circles were great! Google+ was among the least obnoxious social media platforms I have experienced.

I think it could really have replaced all the fragmented around Google comment forms, but it sure wasn't wise to force everyone on YouTube on it in such a shitty way. I think that initial public outcry was a significant stop to its velocity, yet it could have become moderately successful and very valuable long-term to slowly integrate all of Google's services. Just so many parts of the execution were questionable, including the mobile apps :\

Was the lack of a semi-immediate huge return the reason it was killed?
Isn't that too early since there are still thousands of new cases? The survival rate can improve. Most of those deaths are probably early patients who did not benefit from proper cares since at the time they did not know what it was.
The likelihood of a mammal-to-bird-to-human infection chain ought to be lower than mammal-to-human. Nevertheless all meat handling in the industry is at least theoretically subject to high standards of hygiene. So if at all, handling the meat of wild mammals without proper hygiene is the problem here. And yes, that is somehow disgusting.
Agreed. All countries want to be seen as leaders, and this can nudge them in the right direction.
I think we should look at survival rate for patients in western care to get a better understanding of the rate of death when under better care.
It doesnt replace the flue, its an addition.
The first thing you mentioned is the cause of the second.
I guess it is difficult to know if these are the right numbers. Elderly people, and people with a disposition (eg. COPD) are much more vulnerable to a corona virus infection.
I would wait before more people have gone through the disease before making a conclusion about statistics such as case fatality rates et cetera.
I suspect it's just out of fear. they don't want to deal with cars merging into their lane from entrance ramps.

Awesome, i will definitely use this in my project.

Deaths are mostly among immunocompromised, elderly or very young. Chances are you're going to be fine, if you get it, but it'll be a long and painful 2 weeks. The youngest adult that died was 34.

That said with a mortality rate of 2%, affecting a country like China with 1.4 billion people, even if half the people get infected, that's 14 million dead.

So overall serious on a large scale.

Good points in the article. I also find the model names weirdly confusing, how did the iPad become the smaller, less powerful variant when the Air still exists? They did this with MacBooks too, though I think the tiny one may be discontinued now.

And why is the iPad peripheral system such a mess? The released the pencil 2 which is a significant usability improvement and had every indication of replacing the pencil 1, but that was years ago and they keep releasing new pencil 1 only devices, while just calling both of them “Apple Pencil” in many places. If you want a good pencil now, there’s no way to buy a moderately specced machine with it, you have to pay for the pro with more compute power than a high end laptop.

And ipads now have full usb host support, but instead of marketing that as a perk, they kind of pretend it doesn’t exist by calling it the “camera kit” like it only has one specific use.
China is a massive country with a billion people in it. You can’t just shut it down.
