The early 2011 15" MBP fiasco. Long story short, the logic boards had a design defect that caused them to fail from overheating. By the time Apple decided to address the issue and do a recall, Applecare had lapsed for many owners, who had already disposed of their computers.

I had my logic board replaced under AppleCare and it had the same issues within a few months.

I managed to keep my bricked MBP long enough for the recall, but the board (which I guess had the same defect) still eventually died (same for a friend of mine with the same model).

That laptop wasn't cheap, and is the only laptop I've ever had that died. I've had a lot of Mac and Windows laptops since the mid-90s (first was a Powerbook with a trackball).

So needless to say, while Apple has the rep of having the best customer service, there are exceptions, and I was unlucky enough to fall under one of those exceptions, and I will probably never go back again.

Having said that, when I switched back to Windows, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had remembered it, and has gotten better since. I only miss a couple of things from Mac, and the biggest one is iMovie.

That is probably the best dissenting argument.
While not done with neutrinos (at least not yet), a very similar setup is used for stufying geological structures. Usually either cosmic rays or muons produced by cosmic ray collisions are detected and depending on the number of detections over time, the density of the rock they pass through can be determined. By filtering the energy of the particles, you can look at radiation directionally (particles coming straight down have more energy than those that come at a shallower angle). You can have a detector next to a volcano and get an "x-ray" of that volcano.

Neutrino detectors can also "see" active nuclear reactors. One could imagine using a detector located outside of a suspect nation to validate their claims with regards to nuclear nonproliferation (ie that they're not running their reactors overtime to produce more plutonium than they report).
To be fair, I don't think the intent or the etymology of the words needs to be derogatory or racial insensitive to justify changing the terms.

I think the argument is that "this word makes some people uncomfortable by reminding them of something that may be emotionally charged for them", and therefore basic decency says maybe we should avoid those terms. Especially for groups that are under-represented in the field, which may well be validation of the "makes people uncomfortable" bit.
> You're just nitpicking the word "contract". The arrangement with the cities generally result in public prosecutors do not bring charges against the police. That's part of the de-facto contract, even if it is not written down.

It's not part of a contract, which is binding and enforceable, and which once and while in place, citizens have very restricted ability to change via the political process. It's part of the policy of the existing elected officials, which is very much amenable to public pressure and elections. Given the context of the discussion is whether or not citizens have the power to effect these things through the political process, pointing out this difference is not “nitpicking”, as the difference is on the exact question being discussed.
Very nice to see a mention of somatic psychotherapy here on HN. Are you referring to the body of work that includes Alexander Lowen? (His books on Amazon are phenomenally interesting to anyone who’s interested in checking out more)
> The crowd has been otherwise quite peaceful exercising their first amendment right.

Not going to lie, this actually made me laugh[1].

Other than that, you missed my point entirely. When a policeman calmly explains to you that you are not allowed to be in a particular area for 10 mintues and the whole crowd screams in disapproval and refuses to leave, so the police use force to remove the crowd, and someone tapes a 30 second clip of this, you can see how you can get the wrong impression.

Maybe the portestors are in the right and their presence is protected by the first amendment, but that's a whole different story. It'd also be a different story if they weren't allowed to protest at all, but they are. Just not absolutely whenever and wherever they want.

Is that the story behind every single one of these instances? Of course not. But I'd wager it's the story behind a vast majority of them. Unfortunately, there is no way to know if I'm right or not, as these clips do not provide any insight into that. Just senzationalism.

> It works for some people, in some situations.

Wouldn’t this be a general truth of every work environments ?

Big office in a metropolitan area, small office in a small town, huge office and factory in a completely remote area, shared offices around the world with membership access to any instance, shared office with rotation between member who work remotely otherwise.

I can’t see a single setting that would work for everyone, or even more than 80% of the workforce. Remote is just a flavor among all of these, and we’re at a point where we can agree it works for some. That’s good enough IMO.
In an easier setup, there is the open-source Ruuvi device (https://ruuvi.com) that works well: it captures temperature, humidity, pressure and delivers the data through bluetooth in an open/documented format, so you can do whatever you like with it after.

I use a few of them with a NUC server and some custom nodejs scripts.
For those who are not into free software, or do not believe in user freedom, I believe there's already an excellent choice of software options, many of which will also sell your privacy. You will not find GNU to compete, good luck!
It has always been interpretted exactly this way.

The Civil Rights Act Title VII bans employment descrimination on the basis of sex, you cannot descriminate against an LGBT person without also descriminating on the basis of sex.

All today's ruling did was clarify to the lower courts that sex descrimination with extra steps and obfustication is still sex descrimination. Being LGBT doesn't remove your rights not to be sexual descriminated against under Title VII.

Again, I implore people to read the actual court's opinion.
Like many wide reaching principles, judicial conservatism is not evenly applied.
A tiny vocal minority doesn’t mean much, if anything, in the overall scheme of things. The tiny vocal minorities of various tech/niche/geek sites rarely means anything.

You can’t extrapolate from that. No less when it’s not even correct for general trends most of the time.
For neutrinos there is no nighttime. The neutrinos are captured when they need to travel the maximum distance through the earth. That way, there are fewer other particles that need to be distinguished from neutrinos.

I think that's quite different. Congress has 435 people representing 325 million. A union local can be just a couple hundred people.
Lucidchart has served our teams well and it has robust integrations/data automation, and a ton of templates to help if you’re like me and struggle to begin.
Title VII covers other things that the majority opinion describes as "conceptually distinct" from sex but also "necessarily entail(ing) discrimination based on sex". In particular, they talk about sexual harassment and motherhood discrimination.
The issue is that it is a small tragedy of the commons. The more apps put templates in the Templates folder the longer that context menu gets and the harder it is use. Context menus have never been a great place for lists of options that might grow unbounded over time. In the early years of Windows 9x you could directly watch that: almost every application installed a Template because it was a new thing to do and Windows encouraged it, then users started complaining they had too many items in that menu and it was too slow and they stopped using it (or never bothered learning it in the first place), then all of the applications stopped installing templates.

(The SendTo folder had a similar wave of too many then too few applications installing to it. I feel like every application that really made sense on the context menu seem to have moved to direct context menu entries in the main context menu rather than SendTo.)
The founders like to market this as "not just another email client" but after watching their intro demo it's essentially a bunch of UI changes to email flows.

Sure there's some upfront email blockage/filtering that goes on, but that's essentially other UI tweaks in camouflage.

I'm not saying UI isn't cool! For sure some of the things they talk about sound interesting (like the reply later stacks at the bottom).

For the general tech-savvy people all the UI you generally need lives behind a highly functional "search box": "give me all the email i read yesterday in the evening"; "reply to emails I tagged with 'important' last week"; etc.

Overall I think they're trying to solve problems that are encountered by so called "famous email addresses" (the founders most certainly fall in this category) where your email has been sold to a bunch of lists over and over so you really need a kind of "block this forever" kind of functionality. But how famous are most email addresses?

In general, sure, a cool, sleek new looking UI for email, I like it!

In 1860, the word "Senator" didn't include anyone except White males. Is that still how the term should be understood?
I would describe myself rather as efficient than intelligent. Because i also make lots of mistakes and struggle sometimes with easy things.

The question is, aren't there already enough blogs and services out there that help you to improve yourself?

All i can add is that it works and it is true that when you constantly work on yourself, you have a much easier life. 95% of the people i talk to only change themselves when there is no other way around it. Unless someone can bring up the intrinsic motivation to change him-/herself, it is hard to convince them. Probably an important reason is also, most people do not want to see the truth. This would mean they constantly observe their mistakes and realize that they are not as good as they thought.
In that case, I agree. If we had WiFi-speed internet, Lambda would be amazing for mobile apps.

But my lived reality is that I have to go to the upper floor in my parent's house if I want to have 2G reception. And they only live a 10 minute drive from the town hall.
Correct, that is why I believe this comment was downvoted. And of course it is politicized. Whole countries have declared their opposition just the last 5 years.
A better title would be “Supreme Court holds that Title VII prohibits gay, transgender employment discrimination.”

Titles like these make people think that the Supreme Court is “endorsing” or “rejecting” gay and transgender worker protections. But the difference between the majority and minority here wasn’t about “should we have a law protecting gay and transgender workers from employment discrimination?” It was “do we already have a law protecting gay and transgender workers from employment discrimination.” The majority, in an opinion authored by Justice Gorsuch—a dedicated textualist—said that such discrimination violates the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s prohibition on discrimination “because of sex.” I happen to agree, being in the camp that believes “the law says what it says, not want Congress wanted it to mean.” But it’s important to understand that the upshot of this decision is that “Congress, in 1964, already prohibited employment discrimination against gay and transgender people.” That’s a pretty remarkable outcome!

In one of the appellate decisions leading up to this, Judge Lynch of the Second Circuit dissented, agreeing with the positions that Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas would take, that Title VII does not protect gay and transgender workers. He’s an Obama appointee, born in Brooklyn. His take: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/us/gay-transgender-worker...

> “Speaking solely as a citizen,” he wrote, “I would be delighted to awake one morning and learn that Congress had just passed legislation adding sexual orientation to the list of grounds of employment discrimination prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I am confident that one day — and I hope that day comes soon — I will have that pleasure.”

> “I would be equally pleased to awake to learn that Congress had secretly passed such legislation more than a half-century ago — until I actually woke up and realized that I must have been still asleep and dreaming,” Judge Lynch wrote. “Because we all know that Congress did no such thing.”

It's open source, so of course it's 'possible', but if it's difficult to do and another project actually fully supports my use case, documents it, allows questions on IRC and mailing lists with regards to it... the choice for many is obvious then. Last I checked the Linux Kernel was GPLv2 only, and we all (I guess) know the reasons why.
Same feeling here. That's why a friend of mine and I created Abstra. We ask authors to come and do some vulgarization themselves. The summaries are structured exactly like most papers: background, findings, and methods. Quick and to the point. There is an incentive for both as the reader gets quality info from the source and the researcher gains audience and exposure. We're at the prototype stage

Is it a fair question to ask if one should be allowed to manage 700k via a mobile app? You can’t even have more than 250k in a bank that’s FDIC insured.

Most of our most effective safeguards in life is to straight up take away even the possibility of fucking up. It doesn’t sound like Robinhood wants to take on any ethical responsibility when things are put in those terms.
Possibly OT, but dropping email and going exclusively with dialtone/messaging for communications would be a breath of fresh air vs cat-n-mousing around the global spam issue (being under 24/7 attack/abuse is absurd).

It may take reengineering some models/processes, but good business only requires good communications (simplicity is the ultimate sophistication).

One-size-fits-all (email in this case) is rarely a solution in the 1st world, but you don't have to tell a nerd that... They disproved [that] theory long ago :)

GitUI: Fast terminal-UI for Git written in rust
This article is quite old but a more recent measurement from the same experiment (Super-K) used a 1600 day dataset. Of that 1600 days of exposure 860 "days" were nights. So it's pretty close to half and half. (Cite: Section V-B, bottom left of page 22, of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.07538.pdf )

The daytime data and night time data are decoupled quite easily. Whenever an event is recorded by the detector you just make sure a timestamp is associated with the event. Then you use that timestamp to determine the location of the sun at the time of the event. If the sun is below the horizon it's "night" and if it's above the horizon it's day.

There are a few outstanding questions that will test this. Can someone discriminate against an asexual or bisexual person? If so, then this logic doesn't protect LGBT but only LGT, which is something of an important distinction in social circles. If not, then it seems that they aren't being honest about their justification.
Granted, I haven't read the full opinion and only a summary, so these corner cases may be handled.
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
Its a cycle we already saw so many times, I believe with so many movements asking for rights, that this is "weak men" part creating hard times.

Why people is ignoring statistics? People kill people of the same race.

The comment before mine mentions that people being stopped by police are permitted to have guns. That’s what I was addressing.

Sure, there are also some people who violate gun laws. But those people could be a threat to everyone, not just cops, yet surely we wouldn’t justify everyone to preemptively have their guns drawn in all human interactions.
Hertz SEC Filing: Up to $500M Common Stock
The textualist position on this would be: yes, there is no language explicitly affirming non-discrimination rights for LGBT workers, but there is also no language explicitly denying those rights, either.

There is a difference between "the authors of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not intend to extend protections to LGBT individuals" and "the authors of the Civil Rights Act intended not to extend those protections". The inaction of subsequent Congresses to clarify the meaning of a law only further increases the necessity of judicial interpretation.

If we were to reserve every word that is also used as slang for sexual organs we'd be out a lot of words. Peach, purse, shaft, sheath, tool, pocket, etc, these are all slang as well, yet we still use these for their original meaning. It's all about context. I'd also say 'gash' is quite regional. I've only ever heard it used in the U.K.

That seems like it has always (at least far enough for 1964 to be in scope) been a perfectly reasonable definition for sex. Can you write a different definition without trying to warp it for current political issues?
There comes a point where you feel your democratic process has been thoroughly captured, and you find it hard to drum up much sympathy for the orgs that did the capturing.

From https://www.wsj.com/articles/supreme-court-rules-for-gay-rig...:

> “‘Sex,’ ‘sexual orientation,’ and ‘gender identity,’ are different concepts,” Justice Alito wrote, observing that repeated efforts to explicitly add the latter terms to Title VII have died in Congress. During debates over the 1964 Civil Rights Act, no member of Congress “said one word about the possibility that the prohibition of sex discrimination might have that meaning. Instead, all the debate concerned discrimination on the basis of biological sex,” Justice Alito wrote.

I don't see how the justices who supported this decision can possibly claim that the word 'sex', which has a specific definition that was even more rigid in the 60s, can somehow include 'sexual orientation' or 'gender identity' which are entirely different concepts. This does seem like legislation by Supreme Court.

> employers banning being married to a women is only "banned" for one gender and not the other, making it sexual descrimination

To be fair, the textual argument isn’t iron clad. How does that logic apply to bisexual people?

I think the result is correct: the Supreme Court has already interpreted “discrimination based on sex” to include “discrimination based on deviation from stereotypical characteristics of that sex.” Under that gloss, it’s a much easier application to gay and transgender discrimination. But it’s far from clear cut.
