>Don't be an asshole.

Oh, the irony!

>Parent misattributed the pronoun, sure. And then they were asked to not do that

Not sure at all that they misattributed anything.

And they weren't asked. They were lectured "on principle". And not even by the supposedly offended person, but from a third party that had nothing topical to contribute to their discussion.
Web browsers make more sense when you think of them as emulators for a novel architecture / OS built atop an existing OS.

It is "impossible" to build a new browser in the sense that it's "impossible" to build a new Windows 10. Of course, a key difference is that the web is specified atop an open standard so someone can at least try.
I'm looking at this in a bit of a different way:

- Apple knows that at the very least, some set of vocal people don't like the previous keyboard. They also know that many of their customers had to get repairs, even if they liked the keyboard. Those customers might understand that "butterfly = bad"

- They need to tell people that they've fixed the problem but don't want to do so in a way that says "the last product was bad" (so they can't just say nothing about it)

I think we should also place some fault on other manufacturers for just blindly attempting to do what Apple does without thinking: check out the latest XPS 13. They've implemented the same arrow setup as Apple's butterfly keyboards. And yet, I haven't seen a single review online that criticizes the XPS for this choice.
There are divisions but it's considered politically incorrect to posit that their might be.
Perhaps. I grew up in Montana where they have cliffs like those that the Indians drove bison off of. 10's of thousands at a time...
It's not so much progress, as reversal of a regress.
tablet.. the list goes on.

But yes, you are correct.
Those kinds of laptops/tablets are great for one reason: no heating components under keyboard. I hate "heated keyboards".
I hope Apple will at some point allow to install macOS on iPads. Seems like it's possible, until that moment it'll be only consumption/sensors input device which is a shame. Unfortunately not a programmer machine.
Ok. How should they communicate this?

"We've gone back to where we were three years ago after a mistake, sorry."

I don't understand what the issue is with Apple trying to sell their products. It sounds like people here are upset that marketing and sales exists, and that they use language to try to make their products seem impressive, and that consumers aren't rational when it comes to buying things.
Yeah, for now it is JSON only. Here is the issue, tracking the work on the Settings UI: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1564
My mom had similar symptoms last week and got tested for influenza a, influenza b, RSV and COVID 19. All came back negative.

I add this anecdote just to show there are plenty of bad bugs out there.

I’m glad to hear you and your family are doing better.
Show HN: Covid-19 Status in the United States
I think there's some good points in there, but I'm not sure about this one:

"Firefox is filling up with ads, tracking, and mandatory plugins."

I feel like I follow these issues pretty close, and I don't think that's accurate. Did I miss somethings? I know they've made at least a few bad moves, but in general they do the right thing, and have stepped back some of the bad things. It's entirely possible I'm missing something though.
The standard Raspberry Pi IMO isn't suited for industrial uses, but the compute module combined with a board designed with this kind of use in mind is a good start.
The flipside is that the USA could recover from this in a few months, whilst the rest of the world is still at the start of their 18-month lockdowns.

It is grim, but a reduced elderly and sick population would save significant amounts of federal and state money.

I'm going through Coronavirus right now personally (I'm in Europe), with the typical symptoms for a young healthy person: dry eyes, tightness around the sternum, sweats, light fatigue. Its really no different from any other cold I've had. Without all the news about it I probably wouldn't even notice.

It would be politically difficult, but allowing COVID-19 to take effect, with some mitigation (eg. recommending isolation for the elderly), would lead to long-term strategic benefits for the countries that can get through it.

It would be like post-WW2 all over again - the USA being the only functional industrial economy. Tourism from around the world could be welcomed due to the population's herd immunity, and a baby boom would probably result from the cheap housing made available to young people.
Just get the 3rd generation iPad Pro on the inevitable discount when the new one becomes widely available, or refurbished units when people start using the trade-in program to upgrade.

The Remarkable2 seems rather expensive at $400 for a monochrome device that isn't as versatile as an iPad, let alone an iPad Pro.

The blood draw looks more comprehensive than you'd usually get in the US (the author mentions mercury for instance).

Also, radiology is something that is usually done only if they find something wrong during a standard checkup or if the patient is complaining about something, and that is going to bump up the price to above the usual $250 or whatever.

I've never heard of cognitive tests, comprehensive eye exams, DXA scans, or comprehensive hearing tests being part of a normal checkup. All of these things can be done but the costs would add up and they'd often be done by different doctors on different days and usually using different emr's that don't talk to each other.

Also, the author points out that "the most valuable aspects of the exam, though, is time with an experienced physician who simply has nowhere else to be". This is something that you will not get in a $250 yearly checkup from my experience.
I guess I never used Ghostscript, I'll take a look. But anyways, I made this one especially for when I'm on the phone. Usually when I'm on a boring situation or place and I'm thinking about something I like to draft the idea.

That's a great question. Your cousin comment notes that Peirce has influenced my thought. He had something of a fascination with three because of structural properties. In essence he saw the mathematical relation as a triad and so he considered three in some way essential to logic and what he called semiotic[1]. Some of that has probably rubbed off on me.

I don't think it's a magic number, just a common one. I happen to know of three normative sciences. I would gladly learn about a 4th, 5th, or more if they exist, especially if they share the same broad intellectual utility. It can also be a case of lumping versus splitting[2]. Postulating that logic, ethics, and aesthetics together are somehow exhaustive, one could still conceivably divide any of them into further subdivisions and spawn new normative sciences that way. I don't believe that would help me make my thoughts clear to myself or others, but, pleasantly, if someone else discovers that it does help then they will have an easier time convincing me too! Conversely, I can't imagine how lumping any of the three I listed together would be an aid to understanding.

The higher tax bracket, only taxes the money that falls into that bracket, they will still have higher after tax incomes.
Yes, this is what you should do:

1. Get your keyboard repaired (free, I assume)

2. Sell that thing online

3. Get this one.

I mean, this has a quad-core option, too. It's a no-brainer better machine.

I have the 16-inch that has the same keyboard mechanism as this. It's 100% an evolution on the previous design. While it is early, it's a proven design and there's no chance of it having any of the issues that the butterfly keyboard did.

I feel like my 16-inch is the computer I intended to buy in 2016.

If you can afford the upgrade cost after you sell your current one, you won't regret it.

Certainly not from China.
I don't understand either. I mean, it is fun and all, but for a serious project, why bother?
I read that post from my 2012 MacBook and did a double take a that part. I glanced down at my 8 year old Apple keyboard and, sure enough, it has the exact same layout.
Definitely. There’s even this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_University
The majority owner of the company said it is the case and the German government said they are discussing counter measures. This tweet is damage control and tries to use a bit of weasel wording to make it look better: There never was a formal offer, so we can just ignore informal talks, right?
Feyerabend isn't so much a "better approach" as a lack of an approach. He does a good job trying to get past the numerous problems of Popper's work, but in doing so largely just reverses it without adding anything useful.

The way I read it, it really dates back to Hume and the problem of induction. Until we have a Final Theory to hand, we never really know anything. That is a statement of epistemology. But science can't proceed on that basis: people make decisions on where to focus their efforts, and not all hypotheses are equally worth considering. That is a statement of scientific pragmatism, and those two fields don't overlap as much as we'd like them to.

Feyerabend is easily read as continuing to conflate the two: "Hey, all knowledge is provisional, so you might as well study astrology." Maybe that's useful from an epistemological standpoint, but it's not helpful for grants committees to think that way. Nor is it helpful for epistemological anarchists to insist that grants committees never really know and therefore really should fund astrology. The question of how scientists actually work is an important one, but it's a separate question from what TRVTH actually is -- even though scientists would like to believe otherwise. They're not as close as they think.
An Epidemic of False Confidence Related to Covid-19
That still doesn't make any sense. Consider the federal case. Currently minimum wage is $7.25/hr or just above $15k/yr, whereas $20 minimum wage is like $40k/yr, or like $18.40 after federal tax (ignore FICA + states for now, they're beside my point).

You're complaining raising minimum wage to $20 is not the solution, but you want to raise it some, and make up for the rest with lowering taxes? So what mix are you imagining will give comparable results? Like say, raise minimum wage to, I dunno, maybe $10? In what world is lower taxes going to make up the $8.40 shortfall? Are your taxes going to be negative? Or are you suggesting you're comfortable raising minimum wage to $18.40 but the $20.00 is what you find overly excessive?

P.S. I wasn't even talking about EITC, but the standard deduction. Your first $18,650 of income as head of household are simply untaxed ($24,800 for couples)... period. That's exactly what you were proposing, and it's been already there, for a long time. In hourly terms that's $9/hr for heads of households ($12/hr for couples) of untaxed income. EITC is relatively obscure by comparison, so I'm confused why you would first think of that when replying... I'm guessing you might be confused about how standard deductions and tax brackets work? Or possibly unfamiliar with the US tax system?
I'm in the same boat. I'd love to have a real terminal where I could run emacs.
Great much needed initiative! Let's hack!
Stockpile how? This is typical niche product, nobody assumes this will be needed in huge quantities. There was a post on HN about how difficult is to produce those masks (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22613061) and that setting up assembly line for needed materials takes 6 months (6 months in Germany, who are already producing this stuff).
The parent agrees with your first paragraph at the end of their comment. I disagree with what you seem to be asserting, which is that anyone who's not getting every atom of their body scanned is "ignoring the disease".
Total number of confirmed infections is a misleading metric. Criteria for testing constantly changes everywhere. Test kits become more (or less) available. Hospital resources are allocated differently based on changing situation, etc. Two random examples:

* March 15th, Southern Finland - "Coronavirus testing to focus on health professionals. … people returning from trips abroad will not necessarily be tested, let alone all of the people suffering flu symptoms." https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/hus_coronavirus_testing_t...

* UK NHS now recommends simply staying at home and not even contacting them in mild cases. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isol...
A number of people would probably sell their kidneys, too, for the same reason.

Nice to hear that, because one of the important factors is if the health system gets oversaturated.

There are more cases of each, but these are the ones I thought of off-hand. Setting up Firefox today still requires you to manually go to about:config and turn off a whole bunch of crap.

I think you're underselling how truly revolutionary the inverted-T arrow keys are. I hear they help you fly through lines of code, spreadsheets, or game environments.
i3 vs i5 (base model). You can upgrade either to the i7 for $300.

Both start with 8 GB memory, you can upgrade to 16 GB for $200, 32 GB for $600, or 64 GB for $1000.

If you get the i3, you can upgrade to 512 GB of storage for $200 (essentially, that and the i3 -> i5 upgrade for $100 is a processor + storage upgrade disguised as a different model). You could also upgrade to 1 TB for $400 or 2 TB for $800.

A 10GB Ethernet NIC is the last option, available for $100; I guess they realize these are likely to be used in farms where network transfer will be important.
I think your comment illustrates just precisely what a huge amount of effort and time it's going to take to get people to reorient their thinking along these lines.

"China" doesn't produce anything; human beings standing on the landmass called China produce medical supplies, just as human beings on other landmasses produce medical supplies. Recipients of medical supplies need more than can be supplied by Earth's manufacturers right now, as well as supply/demand scoped within specific regions or countries. That has nothing to do with countries or regions, any more than it has anything to do with which US state or city a factory is in.

I do agree that we should avoid excessive centralization of the manufacture of certain essential items, medications and medical supplies (and advanced/low power CPUs, and passenger aircraft) among them, but not for nationalistic reasons—simply because the Earth is big, transport is wasteful and resource-intensive (even if economically cheap), and resources are sometimes scarce/precious, such as in emergencies or supply interruptions (e.g. melt-blown fabric producing machines are time-consuming to produce).

It's nothing to do with the nationality of the people who produce the supplies, or the nationality of the people who need the supplies.

Perhaps the UN or another international body could coordinate ensuring that a certain amount of manufacturing capacity for various and specifically enumerated essential things could be carefully maintained on each continent, to guard against planet-scale civilizational collapse in rare events. I think in the old model this would be termed something like a "national security stockpile" or "strategic reserve" but ultimately it's more of a "civilization continuity capacity". Essential medicines and equipment are essential medicines and equipment, regardless of which humans need them, or where.
I think it's the marketing copy most people are taking issue with with.

They tried a new design, which was horrible to use and had a high failure rate. They continued to claim the new keyboard was amazing, and stubbornly continued to use this crappy keyboard long after the problems were apparent.

And now they are touting a "normal" keyboard mechanism as if they've invented something new and wonderful... only Apple could get away with such transparent BS.
Also, you can mount /var with no executable set, for security purposes. If you go through the various security guidelines (such as STIG and various others), they give several paths that should exist as individual mount points -- both for the purpose of setting appropriate mount options, but also if a user program has write access somewhere in it, then they can't cause a disk-full condition on another (logging-type) path.

I am always baffled, when the keyboard + iPad issue is brought up, perhaps my use-case is unique. I use a Apple A1314 Keyboard, which has an ESC key, it is Bluetooth enabled with decent key travel, and cheap to acquire. It is just a matter of popping the iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) on an after market stand and/or propping it atop a stack of books if required, it is a good solution and works well, even for a touch-typist like myself.

However, I would appreciate better support for MX Master as opposed to the current solution via Accessibility.

IMO, when you see car companies 2020 model gets 3 more horsepower or 1 more MPG, it’s better to consider how difficult that was rather than simply expecting it.

Further, it can take revolutionary change to maintain incremental improvements. Filling HDD with say Helium has a lot of knock on effects hidden by the spec sheet.

I was going to write unit in my comment, but unit is the wrong word. The word unit applies only to multiplication. In the natural numbers there is only one unit: 1. Some other fields have multiple units. The integers have 1 and -1 and the rationals contain infinitely many units (every element is a unit).

The correct term is an identity.
