It seems as though you're invoking a slippery slope fallacy; it's possible to say exactly the same about doctors working for the state who minify or trivilazize the examination of physical harm on dissidents too. The fact that expert testimony can be bought off or compelled does not preclude expert testimony from being an important consideration in general. The opioid crisis for instance has shown there are many incompetent doctors, but I doubt you'd refuse the testimony of a doctor to help your case when you are injured by someone else.
Kudos to Lenovo for offering it, and really kudos to Lenovo for apparently using stock equipment that allows it:

>[...] Lenovo is making use of a stock Fedora Workstation installation without any vendor customizations but will be relying upon the existing Fedora/FESCo processes should any changes be needed moving forward.

In particular as I recall Dell Linux laptops require at minimum a wifi board swap to something Linux supported.

Nothing against other unix distributions but as someone who uses RedHat systems all day long, it's appealing to have an upstream workstation on Fedora to see what features may be coming next in your distribution and also what issues you may run into at work. RHEL 8 is arguably closer to Fedora than say MacOS or Ubuntu.

>The vast majority of the customers aren't taking part in the "pyramid scheme" part of the enterprise. They're just buying herbal supplements because they make them feel better or maybe their neighbour pressured then into it. All slightly skeezy but no worse than most retail businesses selling discretionary items.

That's one interpretation. The other interpretation is that herbalife has reached a saturation point where there aren't any suckers to sign up anymore, and all the "customers aren't taking part in the 'pyramid scheme'" are just the bag holders.

As in Steam also charge 30%, but Steam don't exclusively control access to their customers. If you sell your game on the epic store it's 12%. Apple exclusively control the gates to their customers in a way not found in any other device of comparable stature (Microsoft and Sony are gatekeepers for their consoles, but they aren't a "utility" in the same way some would argue a phone is)
Go only recently started handling -EINTR correctly (retrying the operation) though I do agree that this should've only been done in the higher-level wrappers. The "os" package shouldn't be doing retries IMHO.

Pre-1.14 -EINTRs were quite rare in "normal" Go programs so the stdlib basically ignored them, but 1.14 introduced preemption which resulted in many more -EINTRs and quite a few Go programs were broken as a result. So in many ways this behaviour was necessary to un-break backwards compatibility. If Go had made the interruption semantics -- which had existed for at least a decade before Go came about -- clearer from the outset then maybe this whole business could've been avoided.

This is symptomatic of the reasons why container runtimes (at least, those written in Go) have historically been vary wary of Go updates. Several years ago, each Go release would change some minor semantics of the Go runtime and cause breakages...

Still, 30% is a huge improvement on what it was before the App Store. Publishers would take 60-80% in the old days.
You have misunderstood. The victims here are not consumers, they are the employees - the sales agents.

The main activity of Herbalife is recruiting. A Herbalife job posting may talk about selling supplements. But if you work for Herbalife, your real job is to find more people to work for Herbalife. The supplement sales are only a cover.

The reason these companies should be put out of business is that they are pyramid scams, frauds to their very core.

Agree and disagree.

Agree that someone who "works insanely hard" will advance quicker. However, I disagree that's necessarily the best approach long-term.

When in university, I did something for each of my courses every day. Studied something new, reviewed past materials, solved an assignment. I did it every day. Continuous improvement.

I never had an all-nighter or really crammed for an exam. Yet I got the best marks. It's not because I was an Einstein - it's because I improved on each of the previous 90 days that got me to the required level faster than working insanely hard over a few days.

Continuously improve - do one thing every day. Two if you can. In 90 days, you'll be 90 ways closer to your goal than you were before.

I mainly send from my own mail server, too. If I worry that email to a cold gmail contact will end in spam, I use a simple fallback strategy. I have gmail setup to send as an alternate email address, so it appears to come from my server's domain. The contact will certainly see gmail to gmail email, and if they reply, my email address goes into their (effective) contact list.

> seeing people gain small degrees of fame and notoriety

Small point: "notoriety" is negative (the noun form of "notorious"). Its opposite is "renown". Both notorious and celebrated people are famous and carry, respectively, notoriety or renown.

(I keep seeing this and am hoping "notoriety" will not become an accepted alternative for "renown".)

I don't really understand the hypocrisy though. It seems consistent to suggest people should be able to run the software they choose on the hardware they own, without also forcing every store to sell every product.

Put another way, in real life any legal product should be feasible to sell/buy as long as there's corresponding supply/demand to make it work. No one should force Target to sell things they don't want to sell, but it shouldn't be allowed for Target to use some leverage to block any other stores from opening in driving distance of your house.
I think the “nanny state” concept is poorly calibrated. If you allow entities to profit from causing harm, or conveniently shift the cost of negative externalities onto other people, day to day life will eventually become so adversarial that it is unliveable. This seems to be happening already, as we are inundated with scam texts, emails and phone calls; children are under siege from social media, the fast food industry, Juul; whole regions are routed by the opioid crisis; tobacco related diseases are still one of the top causes of death; the fossil fuel industry keeps edging us closer to varying degrees of annihilation.

> All Apple would have to do...

This is hardware engineering, and high quality engineering at that. When Apple decided to use an adhesive rather than screws they could would have had excellent consideration of cost/quality/aesthetic issues.

It is true that they could easily create devices to match the requirements of randoms on Hacker News, but that isn't going to lead to Apple - the once in a decade consumer products behemoth. It leads to the Openmoko. Turns out nearly nobody wants that.

So yeah, it is an "All Apple would have to do", but evidence is Apple is much better at deciding what it should and shouldn't do than back-seat designers. Sorry if that sounds a bit brusque, a nerve might have been hit here. But hardware isn't easy.
I wonder why they're using illustrations instead of 3D models.

Surely you don't do "cost plus" pricing for your own services.

You do value based pricing for your services. I'd bet that you don't think at all about the electricity and processing costs that it takes to do what you do.

Apple is no different.
I think the first suggestion is definitely a good idea for those who aren't as familiar with tower defence games, they're not necessarily the most intuitive of games.

Definitely think the second one is a must -- there were a handful of times where I tabbed out and lost progress towards the end of a wave.

I would say flexbox syntax is one of the least intuitive additions to CSS of late. The combination between some properties and values having `flex-` prefixed and some not is always a bit of pain when using it.

Overall though, a great game and a bit of good fun for a Sunday morning!
It’s not really an insult. One of the main uses of flexbox is responsive layouts, so this is a valid criticism (if a bit snarky). I also am viewing this on mobile and was sad that the page was much too wide for my phone.

Sitting does two things: it causes your hip flexors to do work all day, and it prevents your gluteus maximus from doing anything at all.

Doing this for hours on end trains the body tries to use its hip flexors for everything. Standing, lifting things, walking, even slow running. The hip flexors aren't meant to do this, and they are connected of course to your back muscles.

But the back muscles activated in concert with the hip flexors are not the "right" ones. They contort your back and cause imbalances and eventually back pain.

Running CAN help undo this.

But at certain paces of running (very slow ones that aren't much more than walking), the butt still is not used well, and you're not working to undo the 8+ hours of training you've given your hip flexors.

The more vigorous the running, the more your "prime path" evolutionary pathways of hamstrings, gluteus maximi, and lower back will be activated and trained.

Of course the older you are, the harder it is to do these paces, either sustained or speedwork.

Straight leg deadlifts can also help, but still isn't as good training for undoing the sitting position.
I recall in the UK in 2006, in retail supermarkets, it's been disclosed that the tag price is a cash-only price. That if you pay by a credit card, then the price is 2 or 3% less, but there's an extra 2% or 3% fee for credit card processing.

In the US, sales tax is almost never included in the price tag, so, when you checkout, you get the sales tax itemised separately, including when different jurisdictions charge separate taxes (e.g., county + city sales tax). Hotels in states with a gross-receipts tax often pass this tax back to the consumer as well.

In Eventbrite and many other similar apps, including for donations, the processing fees are nearly always shown separately from the cash price itself; I believe some platforms let the seller decide how it's shown (e.g., "who pays it").
Do you want to work together on a thing?
While yes, this is a problem for several reasons (They should've taken care to clean any company IP off the laptop).

But the biggest, as others have already said is - why wern't his credentials revoked after leaving?

I can understand this at smaller companies, but Cisco has no excuse - they have enough people around that there's surely multiple people who's job it is to ensure that credentials are tied to a person, and that after a person leaves they're all revoked on anything approaching a production/customer-facing environment.

An analogy I heard:

What would Target do if their canned beans vendor started putting labels on the cans like "we sold this item for $0.23. Anything else is profit that your store is charging you."? Those cans would never see the shelves.

If, in effect, Apple buys a product from its vendor for $3.50 and then resells it for $5.00, keeping the difference as profit, I can understand their statement that the wholesale price is irrelevant and shouldn't be shown.
It really seems like it would depend on the topology and capacity of the various routes. Just having more of them isn't necessarily the same as having more flexibility in routing.

> If they shut you down on the App Store, you're done. Your iOS app is worthless on any other platform.

> I shit you not, I've personally had apps rejected by the review board because they didn't like the screenshots. Those were screenshots of the app itself.

My experience sending applications to the app store was certainly frustrating as a first-comer as the App Store has numerous rules about the screenshots, descriptions, naming etc. that you have to follow.

However, every time the app got rejected, the reviewer sent clear feedback on which rules the submissions were violating and how to fix those issues. After that, you could send your app for another review. Calling that "shutting you down" is slightly harsh in my ear. We fixed the problems they had with our submission and then we got approved.
No it's not, because you could previously self publish apps for any major os and not be locked out by default from virtually all devices. I understand the benefits of an app store and walled garden (not that I want one for myself, but I understand), it's always been way too much nonetheless.

This design is basically not safe to use except on controlled access helipads; landing elsewhere is eventually going to turn someone into hamburger meat. It's really not any different from a small helicopter, which have existed for decades. How is this any closer to a flying car? The key aspect of a flying car is that it's safe to drive around on roads and fly around in the air. This thing can't do roads at all, not the driving nor even safely taking off or landing on them.
That depends. I’m only interested in doing stuff I want to do; the way I want to do it.

Most of that stuff is now water under the bridge. I’m pretty hesitant to get into the industry, in its current state. Not much fun to be had.

I’m already committed to working on a nonprofit, but we’ll see how that develops.
I've been using sc for many years. As others have noted, it's lightweight and fast. Some of it's unusual features are:

1. Each cell can contain both a label and a value, so you don't need an extra column to label numeric values.

2. Cell editing is done using vi keybindings.

3. Files are stored in a very readable, pure text format.

The biggest drawback of sc is there is no undo. If you delete something by mistake, you can't bring it back. This is the biggest reason to choose SC-IM, IMHO.

Unfortunately, the menu commands in SC-IM are not the same as the ones in sc, which is a real problem on a keyboard-based spreadsheet and you have developed sc muscle memory :(. SC-IM's help menu is also hard to read in narrow terminal window, because it uses fixed-width line endings that cause every line to improperly wrap. The fact that sc is included by default in most, if not all, Linux distributions makes it so convenient to install and use I likely won't ever change.

Money has consequences. When rich people get old, they suddenly find themselves surrounded by enemies, conspiring to hasten their deaths. I've personally seen it happen thrice now. And before that I was hearing about it happening to friends of my own well-heeled friends.

So I guess I'm just curious to see why people want to put themselves in that position. To me, a nice house and a happy spouse just doesn't inspire me to walk around wearing a massive target on my back y'know? To me, "1 million dollars" just sounds like "a whole lot of Trouble", especially for those who are not good with the legalities of trusts, estates, etc.
Cool idea. Would it be possible to further break down the risk? Getting Covid has different levels of risk for different people.

I’ve never seen a clear analysis that explains the risks for a particular person of 1. Having symptoms 2. Having symptoms severe enough to be unable to function for several weeks 3. Severe enough to require oxygenation/short hospitalization 4. Severe enough to require long term hospitalization

The other question is how this risk compares to other activities. I have no idea whether driving to the store is more or less risky than being in the store during the pandemic.

I alternate between a Herman Miller Embody and a wooden dining chair. The wooden chair is good for meditation (when I need to keep my back straight and unsupported) and for when I want to be more mindful of my posture for a few hours. The Embody is great for both zoning out and just focusing on work while forgetting all about my posture. I spend more time in the Embody but both chairs get used everyday.
