Wow I'm impress by your project. I'm curious were you working on this just for fun or you had a problem you were trying to solve?

It is awesome, I started browsing and spent a good amount of time looking at offices. Did you start the project with the want to generate revenue or is that something that just later came?

Right now I'm super passionate about bikes. I been riding my fixed gear Cinelli bike all around NYC and I thought building something around that but I just can't seem to find a problem worth solving with software.

The idea of it was what a portable Mac should be.

In the end it could very well be the perfect demonstration of why a move to ARM would be worth it.

The main issue/downfall of the Macbook was the slowness and the heat. Those are also the two strengths of the A series of chips- performant w/o excess heat.

You take the exquisite form factor and marry it to Apple's chips, and you potentially have a drool worthy portable powerhouse, though the sticking point may be getting a magic keyboard in that form factor vs the butterfly.
Could you cite the claim that the broad German population knew about the extermination camps qua extermination camps before spring 1945?

Of course the average German would have been familiar with the idea of concentration camps, because Germany had begun to put Communists into such camps already in the 1930s and this was well-publicized. But when the Nazi leadership adopted the Final Solution at the Wannsee Conference in early 1942 and concentration camps became extermination camps, Germany was already under heavy wartime press censorship. The people living around the camps would have known that something was up, but the camps were deliberately constructed to be out of sight and out of mind of the bulk of the German population.

This is not to let the German people off the hook. Germans were aware of the 1930s events like Kristallnacht and one can argue that they should have known that apathy in the face of these smaller atrocities would only encourage larger atrocities. But for most of Germany’s population, an awareness of the camps could only have come through this supposition or through rumour and innuendo, and not firm factual knowledge of their existence and operation.
A VP Product's Reading List
Interest in the topic is what drove the popularity around books like Hillbilly Elegy and tons to articles in NYT and WaPo after the 2016 election about poor white people and what were the challenges that they were facing and motivations.
Again, that does not ring true given the conversations I've had with people alive at the time. Jewish people were scapegoated for the destruction of the German economy. Not everyone who accepted that narrative would have believed death was a just response. Any competent propagandist would have left the question of what a proper response was open so people would have imagined that what they thought was proper would happen.

The closest modern equivalent I can think of would be Occupy Wall Street. If the leaders of OWS had formed their own political party in the wake of the 2008 bailouts and ridden a wave of public anger into office, they would have probably had the political capital to seize all bankers' assets as stolen goods and hold them to await trial. It would have taken an order of magnitude more political capital to simply start executing them without trial.

Copying Better: How to Acquire the Tacit Knowledge of Experts
No, what you’re saying is correct. If the inverse square law was obeyed perfectly, space would be restricted to 3-spatial dimensions.

The extra spatial dimensions are usually theorized to be extremely compact so the effects of a higher power law (the inverse square law can be generalised to 1/r^(n-1) with n as your amount of dimensions.) can be neglected.

Of course, to prove it you’d have to at some point measure these effects, and there is some evidence that the inverse square law breaks down. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0307284.pdf)

Favorite meme I've seen about the confederate statues goes like: "If someone kidnapped your child and sold them, where would you want us to put a statue of that person?"
Maybe options. I know a lot of people play OTM options and penny stocks as gambling.

Is there such a thing as "responsible statue-toppling recreational activity"?

syncthing is an incredible piece of software.

It should be noted that:

* "Security" changes in recent versions of Android seem designed to kill use cases like syncthing. See links below.

* There is no iOS version, as near as I can tell because iOS is already where Android is headed.

The crux of the problem is syncthing is a single golang binary, but the only way to manage filesystem permissions on iOS (and now Android) is through tightly controlled OS dialogs, and there is no way to do this from golang. There aren't even NDK APIs for it. The closest thing Android is providing to an escape hatch is "all files access" [5], for which your app has to go through an approval process in order to be put on the play store. If you watch [2], GOOG makes it very clear that they want to minimize the number of apps that obtain this permission. It's unclear to me whether apps installed through FDroid or side-loaded will be able to use that permission at all, or if the APKs must be signed.

I'm all for improved security, but never at the cost of controlling what I am ABLE to do with my computer.

It's sad that our operating systems are turning into gatekeepers between developers/users and the hardware they "own".

I think the idea is to disassociate newness from improvement and only associate it with improvement when it's actually improvement. It's not wise to pick a different tool for every job, nor is it wise to only stick to one tool all the time. The fatigue imo comes from producing approximately the same output in ever more complex but not necessarily more interesting or better ways. If it does arguably provide a marked improvement, then definitely experiment and see how it might help
Nitpicking, but you pay taxes on the 70% you receive from Apple, not on the list price of your app, so you should end up with 49% of list price after the Apple tax and the government tax.
Offorte – Proposal software that wins deals
Here is my anecdata on Apple Pay and why I stopped using it altogether:

Once I used Apple Pay from my phone to pay on a third-party website, it showed a nice popover on Safari and it automagically used my address from my info as the SHIPPING address. Neat but the address was my old address, so I edited and changed the SHIPPING address to my new address. I press OK. Then Checkout.

I see that order was shipped to my old/incorrect address. The vendor said this is the address they received. I remember changing and updating the address on the APPLE PAY popover.

I called Apple as I had entered the correct address on APPLE PAY popover, they said may be the website vendor implemented it incorrectly, there are millions of websites using Apple Pay and they CANNOT/DO NOT check those integrations. This was a breach of trust. I entered my information on a pop-over shown on Apple iPhone by Apple iOS and not the third-party website.

Bottomline: Either Apple takes full responsibility of the data entry or leave it to third-party. Else consumers are stuck in limbo

I have to chime in as someone who created an Angular.js app in 2017. I suppose it happens. Not that I actually wanted to, I was just working with a dumbass who overruled me. I don't really have anything it say, I just have a really strong negative association with this specific topic, I guess...
> To say everyone knew is incorrect; to imagine you could change things if you knew is also wrong. Can we today stop our government from cramming children into cages and then forgetting them? Yet we have modern media and still horrific things are done in our name and we either ignore it or feel helpless to do anything.

I agree with this point and take your criticism that I painted with too broad a brush in terms of who could know what.
Harvard doesn't offer academic scholarships. If you can't afford Harvard tuition it's free - e.g. if your parents make less than 65,000 (20% of Harvard students) you don't pay anything. So yes, it's actually massively worth it if you can get in, because you graduate with no debt and have a name-brand diploma and access to an extremely well-connected group of people. It's the kids who go to second- and third-tier institutions and take on massive debt who should reconsider college, not the ones going to Harvard.

As far as the WHO was aware, and at the time of posting, that tweet was entirely accurate.

They're not the CIA. They don't have an adversarial spy arm. They rely enormously on member nations' self-reporting, and they rely on those reports being honest. That clear evidence came later on doesn't mean the WHO had clear evidence at the time.

(And, as the saying goes, absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Nothing in that tweet says "it can't spread"; it says "we can't solidly confirm it has been yet".)
> Why, then, did you ignore the other chart I pointed out that specifically dealt with the economic value?

The only other chart lists "Computer and electronic products" as the second-largest manufacturing sector, which seems to confirm my assertion that semiconductors have been an important source of growth. It's the second largest category and has had annualized real growth rates 2x+ the rest US manufacturing for decades.

I don't see any breakdown of semiconductors/not-semiconductors for that category, and this is a 2017 snapshot as opposed to longitudinal data, so it's hard to say anything more specific using the data you linked to.

> The threat is the continued consolidation of certain types of semiconductor manufacturing into an ever-shrinking pool of companies. While it would be slightly better if that pool were partly concentrated in the US, the size and diversity of that pool is a much bigger issue than where its members are located.

Sure, I agree. (Caveat of course that geopolitical diversity matters too. N separate SOEs would increase diversity in a way that wouldn't be particularly helpful to the USA, for example.)

In any case, this is actually something I more-or-less agree with, and hence the last sentence of my original post.

A little off topic but I’ve noticed a similar trend with other websites where I select to be removed from their newsletter and then later, sometimes many months later I start receiving email from them again.

The current model we have online for sharing personal information with companies where we give them information irrevocably involves a huge amount of trust. Because no matter what we ask them to do, it’s basically up to them to really delete our data. I wish we had more tools to correct bad behavior beyond public shaming on social media.
So, one part of my brain is an adult another part is a child acting from beneath the consciousness.

Then most of these articles usually say the recipe is to have the adult very closely observe the child and hit it with a stick any time it wanders of the "desired" path.

No.

How do you expect it to work between a real parent and a real child? I think it would fail miserably and annoy both sides. I'd suggest coming up with some nasty parental tricks instead. Also adjust them after some time, because they do tend to stop working.
> if you aren't affluent enough to afford Harvard tuition, or if you don't have a full scholarship, Harvard tuition is not worth the degree and student loans you end up with.

Ivy League schools are famously generous with financial aid. If the tuition cost is an issue for your family, odds are that you won’t be paying sticker price.

It would not be uncommon for a typical “middle class” family (not upper middle class, definitely not FAANG programmer) to pay no tuition, and loans, grants, work study, and family contributions go towards room, board, and miscellaneous expenses.

In Indonesia in the 60s several hundred thousands people categorized as communists were deported, tortured killed and often massacred (with the active support of the USA). Nobody was punished for that or asked for repentance, ever.

There is a documentary were some old guys tell and show, while laughing, how they throated children, raped women, etc. They're happy old people still boasting about their horrible crimes 55 years later.

Almost nobody knows about this.

I'd love to hear a refutation to this (however simple) rather than an anonymous and empty downvote.
I am beginning to think if it make sense to segment the Mac into two Category.

The Pro model will use x86. And retain the compatibility of all macOS apps, some of them may likely never made the move to ARM. They just keep patching it to run on latest macOS. Along with Windows Bootcamp option. That will be Mac Pro, iMac Pro and MacBook Pro.

The Non-Pro model will use ARM. You will end up with a 12" Macbook that is priced at $799. With a possible 14" Macbook at $899 ( The BOM cost of an iPad Pro 11" would be the same as 12" Macbook, you are essentially swapping the cost of back camera modules to additional 128GB NAND, the Touch Screen And Glass Panel to Track Pad and Keyboard. ) It will be like the Macbook 2015, except it doesn't cost that ridiculous $1299. And $799 might have been the cheapest portable Mac in recent history as far as I could remember. Even the 11" MacBook Air was priced at $899.

It would greatly expand the macOS market shares. Which has very much stagnated for the past few years. Out of 1.4B PC market, Apple has 100M macOS users, 7% marketshare. Compare this to 4.5B Smartphone Apple has 1B iOS users, 22% marketshare. And the most important thing to me would be that Apple also accept / admit Tablet computing will never take over the Desktop / Notebook, or keyboard / trackpad paradigm. It is good enough for large enough of a market to worth continuing the investment into Mac other than trying to get iPad / Tablet to kill it.

The only problem with this hypothesises is that the software would be very messy. Would Xcode force all Apps by default to compile with Fat binary? Is Apple going to tell its user the different ? ( Not that I think it would matter to Non-Pro user )

Anyway, this will be an interesting WWDC. ( Or may be everyone got it wrong Apple isn't doing anyway to the Mac )
> Of course colleges do all these things already

That's an important thing to keep in mind. Particularly with the more elite schools, the goal isn't to educate as many people as possible, but to keep their inflated prestige through artificial scarcity. The Harvard Extension School is a great example of this - they have tens of thousands of students and advertise themselves as giving students a true Harvard education taught by Harvard educators, but the students aren't "official" Harvard graduates because the institution wants to keep that number artificially low and selective.

edX is another good example - sure, we'll give you the opportunity to learn these things, we'll even offer to assess you and give you a certificate, but we're not going to use technology to really open up the education system.

These institutions will pay lip service towards increasing underrepresented demographics (including racial and economic), but they're never going to embrace truly substantive solutions because they desperately want to keep the education credentials scarce.
