That's awesome! I have been using a Linux-running Thinkpad at work for almost three years now and I absolutely love it.

I didn't want my comment to sound like I'm saying Apple does it best. I just wanted to drive the point home that I don't think it's mainly the ecosystem that makes Apple devices fun to use.

As a side note, I wasn't talking hardware that lasts 5 years. We all know most devices on the market now can pull that off, bar one battery-replacement. I was rather talking continued software updates, where iOS is certainly in the lead.

Edit: just re-read your comment and you were talking Apple computers specifically. Oh well :)

NASA builds, deploys, and operates the largest and most successful space exploration network in history and will hold that distinction for the forseeable future. The lunar campaign seems designed to force commercial partners to step up and become the UPS and Uber service for future NASA instruments and missions. You seem to be focused soley on SLS as a failure case and forget that when it comes to huge campaigns with fast turn arounds and zero room for error they dont have the funding model period.
From a personal point-of-view I am more into the not so professional podcasts and as soon as a popular podcast starts getting too serious and starts sounding like any radio show out there, I lose interest. The same with Youtube, I like the creativity and drive of people when they start a channel or podcast about some subject they really enjoy. I think a lot of podcasts dies for me when I notice that they are more focused on getting a bigger audience and cater for more than what they did in the first place. I realize why, it is about having the money to be able to do it for a living, but from a personal point-of-view, I totally lose interest when stuff gets too professional. So, in my mind, Spotify wont kill podcasting, they will help some podcasters to gain a living from it and maybe become mainstream, but there will always be room for an open podcast community when new podcasts start from a desire and interest in a specific area of interest and not from what a mega-company think will gain a lot of listeners.

To advertise something as "it's better because it's basque/$COUNTRY" is not xenophobic at all. First, because by that definition then almost everyone would be (e.g. french). Second, because there are actual objective benefits of sourcing local products (e.g. environmental).

I also really doubt what you explain is universally applicable as it looks to be a very large corporation anyway.
I had a similar experience with a hairdryer (I am bald). They refunded the cost of the item I actually ordered (not a hairdryer)(I am bald). They offered that I keep the hairdryer (still bald). They were insanely against picking it up/returning it.

I guess that in their model of profitability they have included "items gone rogue" (returns are calculated in the financial statements, auditors "love" returns - especially for purchases made on year -1 and being returned on year 0)(I assume write-offs hurt less the bottom line/the auditors are less angry as long as it is not a fraudulent write-off).

Back to the story, a month later they sent me the item I ordered, free of charge and a friend of mine got a lovely hairdryer on her birthday. And I honestly didn't know that hairdryers can cost more than £€$100!!!

> The value of cotton candy was never the chance to eat something sugary.

It was that, plus the mouth feeling and "magical experience". If it did not taste like sugar (ie. did not contain sugar), kids would fancy it less, if at all. You cannot simply discount one or the other; it is the whole experience as a package.

I'd even go as far as say that for me, it was part of going to a traveling carnival or amusement park (if I was so lucky that my parents allowed me to eat this). Nowadays, kids have different choices. It goes without saying that if it is more common, it is less special.

The interesting thing about this wage ratio is they had to increase it in the beginning of the cooperative because very few people were willing to take more responsibility for little more pay.

So maybe there is a study to be done about what could be the optimum wage ratio that allows a company to attract top talent for management positions and at the same time is not perceived as injust and exploitative by the lower workers.

> Nokia never was a 'tech' company in the sense we attribute the term nowadays.

In what sense? By the size alone, off course you can't compare it to the american and asian mega companies. The ambition to be a european mobile tech leader was still around in the mid 2000s. At least in Europe Nokia arguably had one of the most dedicated customer crowds in the handheld devices category. To piss all that away in one move left a big stain...
I'm also left-handed and dyspraxic. At school they gave me a triangular rubber grip [0] to put on my pen to help me hold it properly. Though I didn't get much better despite spending hours doing handwriting practice.

> To contextualize when Wuhan had O(1000) cases, before full quarantine, the infection was growing at a rate of 50-100% per day. In contrast all of the aforementioned provinces are now currently keeping growth below the target of 10% per day.

This is how the figures have grown for confirmed cases, i.e. number of positive test results that came back. Not "actual real number of cases", which I'm sure the healthcare professionals and politicians in China are all aware of, as everyone else should be. It's already been clearly recognised that Wuhan/Hubei botched the early part of managing the epidemic, so the discrepancy you point out is pretty expected.

If I lacked a formal CS education and wanted to understand more, I would focus on algorithms. They are the foundation of everything at the software layer. The two basic questions you will learn to answer:

Is a certain solution to a problem correct?
Can we make it faster or more efficient?

Understanding algorithms doesn't really matter unless you need to scale or be very efficient, but when that is important, a good understanding of algorithms will be invaluable to you and your employers.

Also, this is the only major difference I've noticed between people with a good, theoretical CS degree and those without one. All the other skills are about the same.
I guess the point was that for a people that react very strongly to even the slightest hints of decreasing individual freedom, it's kind of ironic to have so many podcasts financed by corporate interests, which decreases their constitutional right to freely express their opinions on whatever subject.

Its better because its local is not xenophobic, its better because its from within some made up geographical boundries is.

There are tons of objective reasons to promote local products, we have incredible soil and weather, we have a historical tradition of shepherding and sea faring. But none of that is promoted, its the "its from here" with vague connotations.

It is a large corporation that has had a huge trouble expanding outside the local area of influence. Eroski has been a huge supermarket in the basque country for decades and has never hold more than a minimun influence in spain (despite other supermaket chains like Mercadona appearing much later and now dominating the country). Fagor grew steadily to 5,600 employees and then went bankrupt leaving all but 700 unemployed when a company from elsewhere bought the remains. The university has 4 thousand students and most are basque.

They are massive but they are massive because they have a huge influence on a very rich part of spain
Additionally, Spotify has older podcasts ‘marked’ on where the audio ads go, and will serve an updated audio ad within the podcast, even though the episode may be several years old.

Has the power company "intentionally leaked" PII if they mail their customers bills, and by so doing give their customers' names and addresses to the USPS?

SpaceX might be able to throw something on the moon by 2024. But for a manned mission...

Just look at Crew Dragon. SpaceX started development in 2014, and the first manned flight is planned for april 2020. 6 years, and it not designed from scratch.

SpaceX likes to set unrealistic expectations. And while they get the job done (SLS should take note...), they are not doing magic. This is not the 50s anymore, they have to work within a budget, and with much more consideration given to safety.
What's nifty about Google's business rationale here is how tight and elegant it is.

The strategic case needs to clear a very low "knowability" threshold in order to justify their conclusion. Great example of contingency-based strategy.

Google didn't need to waste a ton of cycles on the counterfactuals (would RIM/Nokia/others be a threat? Would Apple really box us out if they win? etc.).

Android was simply a way to de-risk a potentially catastrophic scenario and give them some optionality.

I don't understand this part though. I haven't gotten the sense that they ever tried to monopolize or destroy the podcast market. Hell, from what I can tell, they've enabled it to thrive as an open marketplace in a way that Spotify certainly isn't interested in.

It is a bit willy-nilly to get it to do the right thing. We compile with arch specific settings, and add features we’d like as well, but in spite of it it does not look like it is using all the facilities available(unverified claim based on perf outcome). I guessed it ignored our flags once it did not see “Genuine Intel” on the model field. To be honest, I had to calculate cost benefit of trading off my time to figure this out vs the savings I get from going AMD. Two things made us stop, and buy Intel:

1. Our major cost in BOM is memory, not the CPU. So, a 30% savings in CPu cost is not 30% off the bill, but much less.

2. Even if we found a way to tip the scale in AMD’s favour, our binaries still need to run in the rest of the intel servers without significant perf hit. So, our liberty to change is limited.

It’s sad, but reality that we had to buy more intel. But, luckily, their prices are far lower than our last purchase before AMD lit a fire under their asses. So, there is that.
I think this is more related to each company status (and laws). Eroski almost broke and is in "survival mode" right now.

As I know the general objective is to be around 60-70%.
If that’s the case, it doesn’t help podcasters. Podcasters get paid based on number of listeners. If the podcaster can’t count Spotify users, they are not as valuable to podcasters.

However, Overcast also caches RSS feeds but it does send the number of subscribers for a feed in the header of the GET request. It also doesn’t cache the actual audio.

> Second, because there are actual objective benefits of sourcing local products (e.g. environmental).

Not always true. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2008/mar/23/food.eth...
Yeah, this is true. This is why I added "should I?" to the question, because I'm not sure if it's right.

On the one hand, I really hate the fact that I'm potentially being passed on roles because of things that have nothing to do with the job because of things I can't control (like age or nationality/ethnicity).

On the other hand, it does feel like blackmail basically, and little over the top. It's cancel culture-y. Would doing this help anyone (besides me) or just cause someone who was just a regular person that was just trying to be practical enormous grief?

I'm conflicted about it for sure, that's why I'm asking on HN for input. In an ideal world traits you can't control like accent, gender, race, nationality, etc wouldn't disqualify you, but they are a business and they're concern is whether the company will thrive. And the fact is some of this stuff matters, like the accent, or being deaf. What if your nationality isn't friends with the country the company is based in? there's a lot of espionage these days. Or even marital status/kids: having a family takes away from work and some companies will over very competitive rates but want extreme dedication, and that would be a disqualifier.

Thank you, I hadn't realized there were separate keyboard shortcuts, even though the one for pause is indicated on hover.

Even though space conflicts with toggling the currently selected item (tab/space), it is the more common shortcut in video player applications, and is quite easy to reach. I also think that mouse clicking an element shouldn't change the keyboard selection to that one.
