Everyone here in this thread is talking about 'upgrading'. We are not talking about new users who don't have a Macbook. Both the comments I replied to previously have stated they 'upgraded' to the M1 Macbooks. I obviously said 'Given one already has a Macbook'.

> If we take what you said at face value then going from the latest Intel Mac to the M1 Mac is enough for most people to upgrade regardless

So you want to tell me that it's worth upgrading to the M1 Macbook in 2020 even when someone already has bought an Intel Macbook in the same year, telling them to waste another $1000+? Most people don't upgrade their Macs like they upgrade their iPhones so your comment about 'upgrading' absolutely makes no sense to the average user. Perhaps it makes sense to the devoted Apple fanatic in the comments above.

They already said they have 'upgraded' to the M1 Macbook and now will buy the latest M1 iMac by saying 'I'll be dumping all my money into this new gear on April 30th.' Again, most people are not Apple 'fanatics' and always listen to whatever Apple is marketing in front of their presentations. Instead they ignore the hype squad, read the disclaimers, compatibility reviews (does it run X or Y) and what will break and then buy in when it makes sense.

So, given one already has an Intel Macbook (Even if it is a 2020 version) and hasn't bought into the M1 mania, why would they want to 'upgrade now' to last year's model when they can wait for M1X or M2 this year for a newer line up? Intel is still supported for several years so there is no hurry. By the time Intel support is phased out, the M1 is ancient history and it will be an M2 or an M3 line up. So it's quite clever to be bullish on Apple Silicon in general and not be long term with M1.
Because I worked with Perl and got burned a bit so it came to mind. I understand game engines are different and people build against stable versions for years sometimes.

"However, the teapot can solve it in one second..."

I really like this analogy. Especially since teapot is a staple in 3D graphics, and shows up occasionally in other computing problems, at least in homage.

I think part of the problem is that for classical computers, we got pretty good at Boolean bit manipulations and it is not likely there is much more to be discovered in that area.

But when it comes to qbits, we have figured out a small handful of useful manipulations and interactions, but it is likely we'll need more discoveries before we can use them to do something truly groundbreaking.

I wish there was an equally fervent approach to Probabilistic Programming. What I read about it feels like there is a lot of overlap, even if the expectation is that quantum computing will outperform it at some point.

Interesting consider that if this "chip" was manufactured with the feature size of the MC68000, the chip would be about 1/4 mile square.
Asides from all that stuff about ordering soldiers to kill American civilians, I'm just boggled that it had a FAQ. How old is the FAQ structure? Wikipedia suggests a history going back to the 1600s, and much further if you stretch the definition to Plato.
cool concept but the scope and funding seem pretty small.

seems like they are trying to do a stripe atlas play and get new startups building on REPL.
>The shipping company's CEO is 100% responsible for not dealing with the situation properly because they absolutely did not do that in any way, shape or form.

And if the company went bankrupt or the CEO suddenly died/disappeared? Then what? There could be any number of reasons why a company might be unable to do what they need to do. The guy is still stuck there then, because it all rests on the shipping company rather than the country whose government is holding him there.
It does, but that seems like something those system must do, if you want a robust solution. If the systems in question are only capable of transferring untyped blobs of bytes, then you get untyped blobs of bytes out the other end of that pipe.

And, if it happens that the file goes through such a system that doesn't understand mimetypes, you're only back to the status quo of having to sniff the type from hints like extension or content.
Aha, "dryer darwinism" works for the alliteration too. Can't believe I didn't realise that until now.

I don’t think you tested this. And it’s not a theory. If you are a large customer of your domain registrar you will get special treatment. The same is true when you have large financial stake in many things.

I say this as someone who had their domain auctioned off when I was unemployed because I was too depressed to read my email and didn’t see the notice until I was out from my cave, losing a domain I owned since 1996.

I’m not in the side of the registrar, but no reasonable observer would think you should be able to buy ua.com for $78, so you haven’t done much in the way of “testing” by not being a high value customer, and by selling a domain that’s not valuable.
Which part do you think might not be true? That the daughter is a slave of capitalism? I'd say that's the part most likely to be true.

There were times early on in the pandemic when people were seriously questioning whether they should go to work and risk their health, or stay home and lose their jobs. Don't forget, the CARES act didn't pass until late March last year.
Huh, the display I'm referring to seems to be less well known than I had thought. At the risk of accelerating its popularity gain: I'm talking about the 9.7" ED097OC1, which costs about 30$. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33007519185.html).

Sure, you can get a few, but can you get them at this price at volume or will the supply instantly dry up? Are these so cheap because it's old stock, someone got their hands on beyond life span production equipment, there's some special licensing deal with E-Ink ... ? If the price was sustainable, wouldn't everyone use this display? Or is this price what OEMs actually pay for E-Ink displays (seems unlikely)?
It is also the only agency named in the constitution. The others are all fluff. At least that’s what I was taught!
Why is Sia overlooked every single time this topic is brought up? It is shocking to me that Filecoin, an example of an ICO darling with no working product, is always at the top of the list.

Do you think someone is a hero because they have to choose to protect either their job or their health? Either way is a huge lose.
MarkMonitor is surprisingly affordable (at scale). Their minimum buy is not cheap, but within that individual domains are, well, not retail price, but not far off either.

They "make it up in volume" by giving you an incentive to keep your entire domain portfolio together, even when you really only care about MarkMonitor levels of care for a subset of them.

Advanced features like registry lock and local presence are also affordable-but-not-cheap.

(A lot of their more proactive brand and trademark management has been spun off to other divisions of Clarivate who acquired them some years ago.)
While not impossible, there are a few things that I think would need good explanations:

- labs would get more flu swabs which test negative - there would be enough globally to make someone suspicious

- why did we see only one strain of covid initially if it was already spreading early (and as I understand it the strain hierarchy always points to the Wuhan one on top)

- we haven't seen the cases drop completely without special measures in any country (there's a drop in summer, but only partial) - why was Australia pretty much covid free initially with all the assumed 2019 cases?
I wonder if embassies can intervene under these conditions, when a foreign government will not release passport.
> A triangle ABC of lightning nodes opens a channel with 1 bitcoin between nodes. 3 bitcoins total.

>Each node can have a state with a total of 2 bitcoins. That's 6 bitcoins.

Well, no. If you want a channel between A and B with 1 BTC capacity in either direction, you'll need to deposit 2 BTC to fund the channel. Therefore there's 6 BTC total that's locked up. As for the rest of your comment, it's not really clear how it's "separated" from the on-chain value.
No mincing of words. Something like this would never be put into writing today, as far as I understand the USMC:

I'm playing games since the early 90s and Bioshock (2007) was the first video game where I felt and knew this is something else. The story, the characters, the whole world and philosophy coming together on a higher level I haven't seen before. There are other examples as well of course and but when this topic comes up I think Bioshock has to be the leading sample.
I've used Excel to automate things like splitting spreadsheets into separate files, and I write functional code with lambdas as a programmer. The way they phrased this makes it sound like their goal is to allow you to do hideously complex things, not to let you do more powerful things simply. I started out excited and ended up scared.
And it's being discussed there (... shallowly, so far) as well :D

>Egypt might be in a position where they've got a rusting leaking hunk of trash off their coast that they can't remove without causing an international incident and, forcing some member of the company to remain with the wreck might just be intended to force the company to actually call in salvagers to resolve the situation

Removing a ship could cause an international incident, but forcing a person to stay alone on a ship without proper living conditions for years wouldn't? Imagine if the guy wasn't Syrian, but was an American instead. This would've either been resolved quickly or there would've been an international incident that would've put the removal of a ship to shame.
One general solution is to have persistent nodes in the network that develop reputation over a duration of time, who perform operations that can't be done entirely trustlessly. In Storj's case these are called Satellites.

> Whenever a Satellite on the Storj network has a less than stellar payment, demand generation, or performance history, there is a strong incentive for the storage nodes to avoid
accepting its data.
When a new Satellite joins the network, the participating storage nodes will commence their own vetting process. This process limits their exposure to the new and unknown Satellite, while building trust over time to highlight which of the Satellites have
the best payment record.

They also incentivize complete file delivery by paying for chunks of bandwidth as they're used to deliver the file, rather than all up front.

Some people want to use the iPad with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor. The iPad supports these things so why not let those users run full programs.
The mental framework we were programmed with in childhood (usually by parents) is a huge factor here too. My parents were super critical and judgemental, and pretty much taught me not to trust myself. It took years of work on this to kind of "reprogram" my mind, getting to a point where I'm totally authentic with people and rarely phased by their opinions! It's a really nice place to be.

The sad part is you come to realize there are actually some people out there who feel severely threatened by authenticity, and will actively try to tear you down; make you less. That can really hurt when you're not prepared for it. People are really odd sometimes.
Oh, just that the "conversation" ever happened, I have no doubt this is a situation a lot of people are in, and it's saddening.
I think the main problem with ruby is that JS has Google v8's performance behind it. Good luck matching that.

> When this kind of force

In what way is a RC helicopter with a camera on it in a public place "force"?

And with regards to force it's not "only deployed against a specific political demographic". Tons of the BLM protests over the last year went by without any major intervention from law enforcement. In fact, in plenty of cities the police departments outright stated that they supported the protests and did the whole "kneel in solidarity" thing. Call it an empty gesture if you like but it's a far cry from what you're describing. I watched tons of livestreams during that time. It was usually only when the looting, random assaults, arson, etc. got out of hand that serious riot control measures were put in place. And even then, lots of police departments seemed to think that it was better to just let the city get looted and burned than to risk more bad press for the Police by engaging the perpetrators. Not sure what you mean by "pro-Trump insurgents get treated like gentlemen, and get to take selfies with the police who should be arresting them" - if you're referring to January 6th, then perhaps you're remembering wrong. There was tear gas all over the place and 4 of the pro-Trump rioters were killed by law enforcement.
Are you assuming uniform pixel density? A typical eye has ~1e8 rods, but they're very much not uniformly distributed. If you can place each "pixel" perfectly (for example with a retinal projector), you can get away with only a hundred million pixels or so; but if you want a uniform grid, then you need the pixel spacing to match the maximum angular acuity of the eye, which is several orders of magnitude more pixels.

In either case, we're a few orders of magnitude off with current displays, although you can gain as much of that back as you want by reducing angular extent ("screen size").

The point being discussed here is that the current approaches (and those investing in them) might fail to yield any further significant advance.
Who is supposed to make that determination? It was below the marketplaces own valuation is that’s not enough and must use an ambiguous word like “grossly” essentially meaning in the sole discretion of the marketplace? In any case it’s neither in their terms or service nor supported by case law.

Who ever listed it agreed to the terms of service/contract multiple times and verified the price multiple times, it’s not incumbent on a buyer to point out to a seller their price is below market value (and that come directly from the case law for contracts). If there was an error (either by the lister or maybe a bug in the marketplace software) believe it or not the claim would be against them and not me, and presumably they would both also be covered by insurance specifically for those kinds of damages.

Im not saying I will take legal action, for example I offered them to just put my domains on their “premium listing page”. But I’m also not here to debate the legal merit of contract law.
This. This right here. Every word.

I would even go so far as to say, there shouldn't be specific immigration cops, or alcohol, tobacco and firearms cops, since if there were actual crimes committed by immigrants or gun owners, the crimes themselves should be dealt with. To allow cops to go snooping around by widening jurisdictional responsibility, it has a very "pre-crime" aspect to it, which is often subject to prejudice and bias.
It's worth nothing those coins also took some liberties when it comes to establishing consensus. I believe the consensus model for XRP is "ask some trusted nodes what the state is and believe the majority".
If I wanted to trick GM supercruise, I could just tape a picture of a face onto the driver's headrest and put a sandbag on the seat, no?
My guess is that’s it is data on or relating to computing devices rather than other data (for example, sales figures at a carpet store). I’m just guessing, though. It’s a good question.
You can't know that the person who listed it doesn't have a special MSA (service agreement) with their vendor that gives them premium support and or protections not offered to "normal" end-users, and you seem to believe there is some sort of clear black and white with how business may make decisions when there are incidents on their platforms.

As a person who misses a lot of flights, I can tell you that they can always reroute you, usually for free, and sometimes get you home faster, but if you're an asshole and constantly talk about how you've been wronged, you get to wait for the next flight.
> Heck, even if it were for everyone, I've yet to see a solid reason why earning a dollar from investing money is somehow better for society than earning a dollar for investing your labor.

A laborer gets paid $1 for working hard.

An investor gets paid for $1 for doing something smarter.

Work smarter, not harder, as a civilization. Deliver the most value to the greatest number with the lowest labor input. That's how we get scale, grow an economy, and prosper.
Kind of funny that a particular patch of the martian expanse has now been dedicated as an 'airfield'.
A shorter sentence may be more effective if the subject is rehabilitated and able to integrate back into society. Coming back after 20 or 30 years would make it very hard to integrate into being a contributing member. We'd have to look at the whole picture.

I read a few of them. Most weren't very good, honestly, but they managed to convey a mindset that worked for me. Of the ones I read, the only one I would recommend is a massive cliche but I do think it's actually quite good: How to Win Friend and Influence People. It's a quick read.

I also picked up the FORD method (just Google that, there are countless articles), which I fall back to as a set progression if I can't think of anything else.

The biggest tips are to ask a lot of questions, listen more than you talk, take a genuine interest in what the other person is saying, and to just do it enough that you wear down any natural anxiety. That last point is key, because most anxious people will naturally convey their discomfort in their tone and body language, which keeps others from feeling at ease.
I think a better solution would have been to only have glyph in Unicode, and then any emoticons would have been implemented by sending embedded images in various chat protocols. Its much easier for a receiver to parse a common image format then to make a font that includes all emoticons. It would also allow users to add their own emoticons, and you wouldn't have any ambiguity of what you are sending. Some facial expression could be argued dont express quite the same thing in all fonts, so there may be something lost in translation between users of different platforms.

Remember mandatory reading in school? You had to read all those 'dreadful' books and then do tests based on them.

I wonder if future generations will have to play video games as part of school. Will they hate video games as much as I hated books?

Add consulting to the mix. Like planning apps, choosing an architecture, backend, etc.

Probably you do some of the above anyway, but rates for consultants are higher generally. I charge $100 to $200 an hour or $800 per day, and I haven't seen clients object much.

And as said earlier - get referrals. Many past clients will be glad to pass your name around, assuming you did a good job for them.
This is also not new grounds for Apple; this is the exact plot they did for iTunes to dominate digital music sales.
It's funny/weird that they only put the ethernet port on the power supply. They could've put some more USB ports on it for connecting accessories in a clean manner. If you're using a docking station already, why the hell not do it properly? For this iMac the connection could've been USB-C, btw (but it probably can't be for the larger ones).

Furthering the idea of putting things into an external unit to save space on the desk, what if they also put the computing hardware into something like a power brick? Sounds crazy, I know, but the display could be very thin that way and there would be no need for thick chins or tons of dongles on the table.
Those countries would include the UK for example, i.e. many that aren't poor.

My anecdata is that Apple products are quite in the hands of people I know, to the point that I would only guess they own an iPhone if they are on double or triple (or more) the disposable income to actually afford one - i.e. even then their kids might still have an Android.
> if there were actual crimes committed by immigrants or gun owners, the crimes themselves should be dealt with

Maybe I'm missing your point, but isn't that exactly what the cops in question are supposedly doing? "Immigration cops" investigate illegal immigration. The ATF investigates the unlawful use or sale of firearms and drug trafficking. All of these things are crimes (regardless of whether they should be).

So how is there a "pre-crime" aspect to specialization among police when it comes to things that actually are crimes?
