Cities aren't dead. And a majority of people don't have the luxury of being able to work remote or move away from their jobs.

There was never going to be a "mass exodus" from cities. Rather, a subset of the people who could afford to leave and can work remote would leave. That is driving down rents and attracting the young people who still want to live in cities like New York.
I live in an 80 sqm apartment within walking distance of our city core. Its a historical mix of new medium-rise apartments, old Victorians, and workers cottages with several public transport lines running through it. Traffic is currently limited to 30kmh on my streets.

What the shut-downs has revealed to me is not "the revenge" of the suburbs, but a foisting of suburban lifestyle onto us against our will. Our libraries were shut,
our museums, our parks, our shops, our pools. There was no option to accept or manage the risks locally. Its important to remember, the disease didn't do this to us, this was a political response to it, which is a policy choice, not a certainty.

Meanwhile, the centres of suburban life were left comparatively untouched: shopping malls, big corporate supermarkets, etc, and people drove there and mixed and shopped almost like there was no pandemic. Again, the disease didn't do this, people did. policy did.

In my city, where have the clusters of the disease have been: suburbs. some of that is definitely due to the shutting of the city, but policy has been enacted under the assumption that suburban life is the only life.

We just had a slight tightening of conditions because of a (very small) rise in cases: why? two reasons, putting returning travellers in cbd hotels as part of quarantine, and parties and socialising amongst known infected cases in... you guessed it, suburbia. Apparently, because of this, cafes and businesses in the inner city need to be further restrained for another 3 weeks.

for me, the pandemic simply accentuated everything wrong with the suburban lifestyle (because I'm now forced to live it while my facilities are shut) and I'll continue to wait and lobby for the return of our actual (and personally, better) life.

You can still have access to the US stock market even if you are not a US citizen which is opposite of what Apple is doing.

There were moments where PPC performance was acceptable or better than Intel, but they were brief, far between, and for most of the its life the PPC was far behind Intel.

Take the 867MHz G4 you mentioned. There might have been some applications where the G4 was beating a 1700MHz Pentium 4, but at the time of the demo the top-of-the-line from Intel was 1800MHz and they released a 2GHz only a few days later. A year later Intel was shipping 2.8GHz parts, and Apple was selling 1.25GHz G4s. So whatever architectural lead the G4 enjoyed, Intel was eroding it with faster clock scaling.

This does not even mention the mobile space, where in 2003 Intel was shipping the Pentium M, not the Pentium 4, and it was the Pentium M which derived from the Pentium Pro/II/III and foreshadowed the Core product line. The G4 had no architectural advantages over the Pentium M. Apple's mobile products were stuck on the dead-end G4 for years.

I owned a Mac of some kind throughput the PowerPC era but it was only because I had to run Mac applications. There wasn't anything good about them except on rare occasions you got to see the AltiVec unit really go crazy. Most of the time you just got to marvel at how slow and expensive they were compared to the other PC on your desk.
I also have one and am so happy with it, no more buying canned air. Also useful for blowing out vacuum filters and roomba’s.
> I’m still running my 2010 MBP (it was worth maxing out the config, and I've replaced the optical drive with an SSD), though recently I bought a 2009 Mac Pro for my main machine. The MBP has fallen several feet into a concrete shop floor with only a squished corner in that milled aluminum case, and is on its third or fourth battery (I should stop cheaping out). I did splurge a few years ago on a replacement keyboard when the original's PCB traces started corroding. That's one of the first parts they integrated to the detriment of its repairability.

Exact same story here. I finally bought a Lenovo last fall after giving up hope that Apple would make a machine I could also get 3TB into. I still use the old MBP for photo management.

Virgin completely ignored my complaint letter despite being delivered via recorded delivery, so even that isn't enough in certain cases.

Rarely I see a paragraph where I either disagree with the statements in or find the conclusion to each flat up unsatisfactory. The paragraph you quoted is one such.

Freudian is bad. Somehow, phallic is also bad, despite a good portion of the populace toting one around and a non-trivial portion of the rest enjoying the company of one every so often. And of course there is space to spread out horizontally, which we call urban sprawl; people complain about that as well. I ... do not understand how buildings may or may not be democratic, or of a republic, or anything else.

And I go backward through the paragraph just wondering what it is I am missing.
I'm sorry to hear that. We've been with Zen for many years and through multiple addresses, and the only technical issues I can recall originated with Openreach rather than Zen and got escalated promptly by the Zen support people. Never had a bandwidth problem, and right now we're routinely getting close to the top speeds available with FTTC, even at "busy" times and with the coronavirus disruption. We did have a bit of hassle getting connected the last time we moved, but again I'm not sure whether that was really Zen's fault, because we ended up getting a BT engineer sent out to install some new hardware as well.

It's true that Zen are relatively expensive, though, and their lack of 24/7 support is still well below par. A&A would be the obvious alternative to consider if we were moving again or decided to change ISP for some reason.
> There will be an even bigger economic crash. The system becomes increasingly unstable as we try to paper-over the damage from one bubble by creating an even bigger bubble elsewhere. Nevertheless, things continue semi-working for some reason.

The "things continue semi-working for some reason" is the part that got me, since that seems to be exactly what's happening. And the answer seems to generally be "for some reason".

I think the parent comment may be suggesting to low the limit on the bridge even more, like adding a wall to the underside of it, so that it's obvious nothing higher than normal cars or perhaps a large van would fit.

Then again, maybe a large portion of the crashes are from people who forget they're driving a truck, so that might just make the carnage worse...
Dell, HP, and IBM produce(d) some really good models, too. Precisions, EliteBooks, ThinkPads. Even some of the mid-tier ones will last quite awhile, and if not quite 7 years, a lot of them are more repairable than an Apple.

I still semi-frequently use a 2007 consumer-grade Dell that served as my only machine for 4.5 years, and as my primary laptop for another 5. It took six years for it to need a repair other than replacing a battery, and even today I get two hours of life from its latest replacement battery, and can swap in the next-oldest for 75-90 minutes more away from a power outlet.

Apple laptops do tend to last a long time, but if my goal were to buy a laptop I could use forever, I'd buy something else that was more repair-friendly instead.
I'm curious if this Thunderbolt driver issue is what you've experienced (when the CPU load gets too low, something weird happens with the electrical system).

Singapore tries this and, in my opinion, does it better than most at least in examples (the oasia hotel being a prime one). Unfortunately, looking out across the CBD right now is still a glass & concrete smear that could be any city in the world. A few good examples do not a skyline make
Can't speak to the post, but, 'random Israeli citizens' likely are also "ex-military Israeli citizens" given the mandatory 2 year term for most of those who grow up there. So any OTA update concerns the military has are likely common social practice as well.

>It is trivial today to mass-produce ornamentation

Which is about when ornamentation started to become undesirable. The arts and craft movement was itself a kick-back against mass production of ornamentation as it cheapened buildings. Not everyone could afford hand crafted buildings. They sought to create a distinction between 'rich' handcrafted building and 'poor' mass produced.

Notice that word.. cheapened. Even the very words we have themselves underlie the reasons why we find these things desirable. Once everyone could have ornamentation, it was no longer valued.. just like potatoes.

Other things that cemented the shift away from the ornamentation and spacial characteristics of pre-arts and craft architecture were, in some order (and lets ignore cathedrals and such because a. they are still handmade, and at about the same rate as in previous eras b. they are not typical of any building in any sense and they never have been c. we only love the ones that we never knocked down):

1. plumbing (you can greatly increase the size of buildings if it take less than ten minutes to find a tap or a toilet, and you can stop them buring down easier)

2. artifical lighting and heating (most buildings were configured entirely to capture and distribute light and heat)

3. the spanish flu (the dramatic and sudden push for modernist buildings came directly out of the tail end of the flu, and after a few decades of other rampant illnesses related to buildings.. typhoid, tuberculosis, etc and as the wealthy were exposed to modern hospitals - devoid of fireplaces, dust catching ornament, and with clean white ceramic finishes - and their brethren mountain spa wellness retreats)

4. cost (turns out that non-ornamental mass production is even cheaper than ornamental mass production)

5. speed of deisgn and construction (it doesn't matter how lovely your handcrafted building is, if I can build twenty others in the same time frame)

Now that with modern fabrication we can produce effortless modernist buildings, they are no longer valued. So people inevitably push back against devaluation, and that which cannot be devalued is taht which cannot be remade. Like the hipsters of the same era, they look to the past with its stories and promises of cultural supremacy. And they forget all the small steps that led us to this point. Preferring instead to dream of an era that never existed, but in its historical survival.

Everyone hates Eisenman's buildings. But we only know this because they existed.
NewPipe's better.

You're not demonstrating familiarity with the subject. Your questions have come from a perspective that is addressed in the subject matter.

That wasn't an accusation. It was a fig leaf. Your positions have rejected your advantages as a white person. "You're off the mark. Way off."

Your interest increasingly seems to be defensive.

Thank you, but no thank you. You don't seem to be interested in actually discussing the topic, or reconsidering your own positions. I'm 99% certain that I won't make any headway with you regardless of my approach.
Can anyone explain why adobe XD's platform isn't dominating the design tools discussion?

They keep improving it with the backing of Adobe (army of devs) and the expertise of creative cloud, along with their community design plugins and remote collab features they just added to the platform. I'm able to quickly mock up designs with ease.

The TN visa comes from a treaty between the US, Canada and Mexico; it is not part of the immigration law that gives us the H1-B.

I have no specific knowledge of the wording of the treaty, but it seems highly likely that the leader of any of the 3 countries could suspend the visa.

A cousin of mine used to do staffing for highly specialized roles in the auto industry and the TN was very important in the Detroit/Windsor metro area. I don't think it is used in tech anywhere near as much as it is used elsewhere; since it is clear that the current administration is just looking for ways to give the tech industry a hard time, it seems unlikely that TN would be a target.

On the other hand, the method for getting a TN visa is very much different than other visas. A Mexican citizen coming into the US has a fair amount of advanced paperwork required but otherwise has almost no problem. A Canadian citizen just shows up at the border with a job offer, a detailed description of the job and proof of the education requirements. The immigration officer makes the determination on the spot and they either walk through or turn around! The administration could quietly issue guidance to immigration officers about how strict they need to be, and you might end up with very similar effects without all the publicity of an executive order.

> Wouldn't it be awesome if when you stop paying it would simply automatically cancel the contracts within a given time period

It would be awesome, but the very business model of these companies relies on things not being awesome. I can imagine that a significant chunk of their revenue comes from disgruntled customers that have no choice but to pay even if they've been wronged because they don't want the hit on their credit report (even though it can be removed with enough effort).

I actually think that overall the companies probably do lose more money (in both PR/customer goodwill as well as support & debt collection costs) due to these scummy practices but too many people within the company rely on things being the way they are to get paid, so they have no incentive by themselves to improve things.

For example, allowing easy subscriptions/cancellations online would remove the need for a sales and "retentions" team as well as the multiple layers of management above them. Making contracts cancel automatically removes the need for debt collection and all the management around that and so on.
He's correct and not correct.

First, 'Industrialisation' also implies a fairly capitalist attitude towards everything and ornamentation may be costly in that context.

Second, labour used to be 'cheap and plentiful', or rather, power was so concentrated, that the people who built such buildings could 'afford' the ornamentation (or maybe compel their serf-like workers to do it). And they cared about it because 'class' was a different thing altogether way back when.

Third, ornamentation in many areas is still very expensive. To ornament, a building of any size would require designers, workers, and a lot of time and many. 'Some' products could be ornamentalized, but others, far less so. Suppose you built an office building with nice domed interior, and you wanted to have it 'ornamented' like a Cathedral. I wager it would be expensive.
Most of the people in urban places are young. Many are completely ignoring the lockdown orders or using parks as replacement bars.

I don't believing the max exodus even for tech. The whole idea of random ideas sparking from random interactions is still an unappreciated benefit of offices.
As long as you really have already attempted to cancel in good faith, you should be fine on all counts. The problem is a lot of people will cancel a Direct Debit or use one of these disposable card services and cancel that, and not understand that just revoking payment authority doesn't necessarily end any legal agreement they have. They will still owe the money (and potentially penalties associated with collecting it) if they don't then make some other arrangement to pay rather than terminating the legal contract properly.
Kudos for the eloquent put! I will quote your post next time this is brought up at my office.

Honeypot.io for VC Investment?
Seems like everyone complains about going from VC to VC with all these pitches.

Why not invert the marketplace (in the same way that honeypot.io did for developers)?

As startup founders, you write up all the info that a VC would want to know. Maybe some of it is public and some is not. VCs who are interested reach out.

Marketplace makes money when deals get made (so incentives are aligned), or charge VCs to access, or charge startups to post.

Does this already exist?
It is basically a code template generator. It is written in C++ but it can generate code for other languages.

It is one of the best serialisation methods currently available.
I heard that you should write them an email saying that you want service cancelled and if they won't do it, that you will do a charge back on your credit card.

What's even more unfortunate is that my views generally align with theirs - liberal and democratic. Yet those groups often very quickly put down any serious discussion, even if there is a minor and delicate criticism of their assertions. We should be more calm, especially in matters where we generally agree.

Every once in a while something like this comes up that reminds me how incredible Apple can be at engineering, and how much attention they can give to the details, when they really try. It's so strange to contrast this with, say, the egregious regressions that so commonly happen in their OSes.
This and cultural foundations which provide a context for the architecture.

Especially in the 'new world' it'd be hard for a culturally aware 'rich man' to even know what to build because often the context doesn't exist.

If you want to build something traditional in downtown Stockholm, you have a few choices.

If design is a 'language' - many areas literally don't have a language other than the functional. So the creative aspects end up being ... 'whatever'.

I'm pretty sure that, for example, most places in Switzerland has some pretty strict rules for what you can build.
