I regularly kayak long distances in rough conditions, backpack, jump rope, practice yoga, play hockey aggressively with people half my age, and engage in calisthenics, and have been for ~20 years. Currently in my mid-40s, I am never more sore than after a few hours of pulling weeds in my garden.
> There is a popular myth among the lazy-minded about this, but the fact is that Apple's hardware lasts a lot longer, and is intentionally supported for a lot longer, than competing hardware. This is true for Macs as well as iOS devices. If Apple is "planning" for anything, it's for their stuff to last a lot longer than others' stuff, not the opposite.

As someone who has bounced in and out of Apple products for ~10 years at a time (1985-1995 and 2005-2014), I have a couple of nits.

The last two Mac laptops I had (2009 plastic Macbook, Early 2011 MBP with known heat issues) - both can still run the latest version of Windows 10 adequately for what they are hardware-wise. Every "modern" (as in OSX capable) Mac I have had at some point lost support from the latest version of OSX (which means you lose the ability to upgrade some apps). In some cases, like the 2011 MBP, for seemingly no reason, as it is still a decent computer even now.

While I know a lot of people here like to change their computer every couple of years like it's nothing, I still like to use things I buy for as long as possible before recycling them.

In terms of "hardware lasts a lot longer", I generally agree with that statement, but there have been notable instances of bad designs combined with bad support (and I generally think Apple's support is a notch better than everyone else).

The most notable (in recent times) being the Early 2011 15" MBPs with overheating issues. That thing was a lemon that was poorly handled by Apple. There's still a good chance that I'd still be using a Mac right now had that experience not left a sour taste in my mouth. I've never had a laptop die on me in 20+ years of having laptops (my very first was a Powerbook 170, and I've had a pile of PC and Mac laptops since) outside of that early 2011 MBP, which lasted just over 3 years before it died. It died again after the recall service was performed on it, because they basically just replaced the logic board with the same board having the same design defect. (FWIW, someone else I know who bought the same model had the exact thing happen).
Bravo Studio / Codelesslabs | Barcelona, Spain | Clojure(Script) Developer with focus on frontend | Full-Time | Onsite | https://bravostudio.app

We're building a service for designers to be able to build fully native applications by leveraging existing tools like Figma. The workflow for the designer looks something like this: Design app in Figma > Import into Bravo Studio > Perform any bindings between API requests and Figma elements if needed > Receive built APK/IPA you can publish to the different app stores. Following this tutorial will give you a good overview of how it works: https://www.notion.so/Build-a-list-page-from-Airtable-Part-1...

The frontend is currently built with ClojureScript (traditional reagent + re-frame setup) and we're looking for a full-time member to join the team to help moving forward even faster. If you join us, you'll be mainly doing frontend so we're looking for someone with strong skills in the areas of frontend and with an attention to details, but since we're a small team (~10 people in total), you'd be required to wear many hats when needed, and we're looking for someone to collaborate with everyone in the company. We're accepting of a remote role if you're profile is strong, but prefer on-site if it's possible. We're also OK if you don't have a lot of Clojure(Script) experience since before but strong frontend experience and willing to pickup the required knowledge quickly.

Either email us your resume + cover letter to people@bravostudio.app or apply via AngelList here: https://angel.co/company/bravo-studio-1/jobs/831939-frontend...
Access to the right people is the point, I’d say YC giving this a punt would involve a huge amount of just talking to the right people and trying to get them onboard. No harm in trying to get meetings with people and try it on. That’s how these things get off the ground. I agree with you but they aren’t exactly biotech or AI experts either, what they can help with is getting started...

I think it's a transformative work (in both the literal and the figurative sense).
Do you think it's a matter of personality or just habit? Founders I would assume have the sense of urgency because it's their baby and there is much more skin in the game. As an employee you're paid to do a job, but a former founder carries that sense of ownership over. What if you just treated the job as a job, would that give a healthier balance?
It's ideology from the EU.

The UK has submitted a lot of ideas for various compromise positions, some of them incredible compromises that nearly amount to not leaving at all.

The EU has rejected all of them completely. It's even rejected proposals from the UK that were the EU's own suggestions.

It's just bad faith at this point. The EU itself is an ideology, an overwhelmingly cult-like one. They bend over backwards to make it hard to leave. The president of France has literally said that "there must be a threat, there must be a risk, there must be a price" with leaving it. That's not how cooperative groups of allies are usually described, is it?

Like with all such organisations they can't stand the idea of compromise because they know that many countries have large populations that don't like the EU. From their perspective if they bend here, if show flexibility and have friendly post-Brexit UK relations, then a whole lot of other countries will start to want out. Ultimately the EU is a bad deal: an all or nothing "with us or against us" proposition. If they cut a deal with the UK that allows local concerns of local voters to start mattering, the EU as a project of ideological unification will be over within a few years.
If one wants to figure out how your question could be answered, I think the question to ask oneself is, would someone from the 19th or 18th century think we have more or less regard for human dignity than they did? And if they would think we have less regard for human dignity, why would they think that and what argument would they make?

You use 'dignity' to mean, I think, that an individual has been granted autonomy. So a woman is now free to sleep around, terminate her pregnancies at will, and live her life however she pleases; she has rights. To you, she is being treated with dignity because she has autonomy. But that is not, I think, the way the 19th century mind thought (obviously this is a generalization; but think in terms of the kind of person who would have defined what 'common decency' meant in 19th century America). Dignity back then had to do with comportment and behaving well. What you call 'dignity' they would call 'licentiousness', and it would be considered the antithesis of dignity. One of the words for such a woman was 'indecent'.

You can argue that political correctness is just the decent way to speak, but to assume that it is 'common decency' is to assume an awful lot, especially when using that phrase to put down approximately half of the US electorate. The disagreement on just what constitutes 'common decency' is the exact issue here. One cannot resolve the issue by appealing to it. Conservatives and liberals have a different idea of what is offensive/harmful and what is decent because they have different fundamental values.

Or at least some of them do. A whole bunch of people on all sides are just engaging in thoughtless tribalism and mood affiliation. You are not one of the thoughtless ones, obviously. :)

That’s messy because the senate and house aren’t really divided by experience since the 17th amendment. The main difference now is geographic state level vs. popular district level representation. Using elections for one and sortition for the other doesn’t make any sense anymore.

You would probably want to either change that or else select both by lot, but with a high bar for eligibility in the senatorial lot (e.g., either passing some nontrivial civics exam or something or rolling back the 17th amendment).

Well in React the rendering logic could still just be plain functions, though I guess technically those are considered "functional components".
I don't when de-blurring would be a novel idea. I think newer methods that use machine learning can produce very good results. But the math of it is much older than any computer implementation.

If you remove high frequency details, you in effect remove distinguishing features. That it is possible to create an absolutely convincing high-detail image that if blurred, gives the same "original" blurred image doesn't mean you have the correct deblurred image.

With not too fancy methods, I'm pretty sure you can make a blurred image identify as any multiple people.

I don't think this is a controversial statement either. In any case, this is a tangential discussion, since blurring to hide identities is a flawed method to begin with. With video recording, tracking, grouped individuals, etc, I'm sure reconstruction with good databases of likely subjects can have some surprising accuracy. So, better to avoid it altogether.

That said, one image, sufficiently blurred with a proper low-pass filter (i.e not a softer gaussian type, but one that just removes frequency ranges altogether), will absolutely not contain information to identify someone. The information literally isn't there. A large number of people are an equally good match, and then no one is. But, since combined with other methods I mentioned, it's a bad idea, then, yes, it's a bad idea.
Seriously. Even dropping $2k on a 16" MBP is going to be a waste compared to a desktop.
"Rents for a one-bedroom apartment dropped most in the cities richest in high-paying tech jobs, falling 9.4% in San Francisco compared with May of 2019. In Mountain View, home to Google, rents fell 15.9% year over year, while in Apple’s hometown of Cupertino rents dipped 14.3%, according to the rental search engine Zumper. In San Bruno, where YouTube has its offices, rents tumbled 14.9%."
Then you are criticizing and boycotting the fair work of others without offering any way to improve the situation for everyone.

I don’t like closed software either and always prefer a open source product if it is good enough. But going to the point of calling "immoral" and "unethical" the work of other engineers who do sell their software as fairly as possible given the constraints of reality is a bit rude.
I am involved with a business that is attempting to do a lot of the same things that Internet Archive is doing. I think they do a lot of really good things, and I'm happy that they exist, but I believe they are on the wrong side in this matter.

I don't know what they were thinking. I'd love to hear how they arrived at the decision to just brazenly flout copyright law like this. I fear that they have put a lot of their other efforts in danger.

I hope that my "archive and access" efforts will not be effected.
> People don't make these kinds of upgrades to cars. They just buy new ones.

My point is that's a problem, and that we can and should fix it with electric cars instead of continuing to boneheadedly allow that problem to persist.

There are, on that note, plenty of people who do rebuild or even replace the powertrains on their ICE-powered vehicles. Quite a few people do it out of necessity (a new engine is cheaper than an entirely new car, even with labor factored in, unless the designer has specifically made the car hostile to aftermarket servicing). Quite a few others do it for fun (e.g. hot-rodding, "ricing", etc.). Some people are even converting ICEs to EVs (I'm considering doing this should my car's engine give up the ghost).

> Your suggestions don't jibe with the real world and consumers' revealed behavior.

"consumers' revealed behavior" is a product of what's available on the market, and at what cost. If an electric vehicle with user-replaceable batteries exists, people will absolutely buy it. Upgrading those batteries will almost always be cheaper than buying all those batteries plus an entirely new car around them.
> You split the radio task into two tasks: a low priority task for processing commands and the ISR task which does the acknowledgements.

You contradicted yourself here. You moved the code out of radio ISR to application code, thus keeping the radio ISR small.

Interesting. So once you're a founder you're pretty much stuck with entrepreneurship? Do companies just filter out resumes for entrepreneurs?
If that's all they did it wouldn't be so bad. However, they also discussed the project, future improvements, etc with the strong implication that they would hire him or pay for his work so far. This could have been well intentioned but you can't tell from the outside and people tend to default to assuming bad things about actions taken by large companies.

BO has been testing New Shepherd for four years with little visible progress, hoping for crewed flights this year is audacious. It’s unclear whether New Shepherd will even be continued based on all the other projects on their plate, and the likely limited demand for their minimal joyrides.

And calling them sub-orbital is being generous. Mercury suborbital flights flew much higher and faster, and actually covered hundreds of miles in a parabolic arc. By comparison New Shepherd is a toy, a very expensive trampoline.

True, and this is emblematic of the changes in the Two Towers that easily made it the worst of the series for me. Though, I can empathize with why some of these changes were made.

The text of the Two Towers as it exists on the page has practically no elves in it. We are shown wanton destruction of the Westfold and the immense suffering in Rohan, yet we must buy they will soon ride to the aid of Gondor. The Battle of Helm's Deep is pitched as an existential fight for Rohan, and to have the Elves sit this one out would likely come across as extremely self-centered to modern audiences. Whatever the Elder Folk may have suffered in the past, they are the most organized and best equipped in Middle Earth. To have them sit out the destruction of Rohan in their literal Ivory towers would probably alienate audiences.
It's also possible that it varies depending on DRAM prices. You might have models with 8GB populated single sided and others double side. Same goes for the 16GB models.
