The purpose of calling reps is to air grievances, everyone involved understands this, and they almost certainly have other phone lines for more critical functions. In contrast, a university is contacted for all sorts of reasons related to research/study, and complaining en mass would be highly disruptive to this.

You would probably need to wait for the 3rd level of M SOCs predicted for the Mac Pro.
The M1 is for the lowest performance tier machines like the Air, the low end iMac, the low end MacBook Pro.
This next chip M2/M1X is for the middle tier like the 16” MacBook Pro and the 27”/30” iMac.
It will probably take a third tier to handle the large RAM and GPU needs to the Mac Pro.

>Responding to you and the OP. I've found that in life, if you get conflicting strong positive and negative reactions, then you must be expressing or doing something true-to-the-heart!

The worst reception you can hope for in life is a milk-toast approval imho.
USFS manages National Forests that aren't wilderness areas. They do timber sales and such where the logging will be done with machinery and trucked out.

National Park Service manages lands that are legally classified as wilderness areas.
They don't tend to leave that lying round, so it's something of a Russell teapot, and none of the totals even from FINRA or Bloomberg terminals add up. There is zero transparency in any of this!

All short interest values are self reported, and all an FTD needs to disappear is a fresh short.

Again. That is part of the bet. If the bet fails, you are left with a profitable stock, as it does have solid fundamentals despite what MSM tells people.

It's the amount of times I've read articles telling me to 'Forget Gamespot', or suggesting other stocks that really convinced me. There is a solid effort to get people away from this stock and onto stuff like Silver, weed stocks. Anything but GME.

Maybe there's some serious bias confirmation going on in my head.

Disagree. The reason that logic works with thieves is that the thieves have limited time and resources, and both high risk and high opportunity cost.

In this metaphor, if Thief #1 can't do it, he hands it over to a "bank" of 1,000,000,000 Thieves who will get to work opening it, while Thief #1 moves on to the next house.

While I appreciate that this company is trying to solve a real problem many people have and generally the trend of software has been to move more things into the cloud, my personal trend has been the opposite. I prefer apps that run locally. Of course as someone who understands computers I have that option but at the same time I learned how computers work precisely for the sake of having that option.

Personally my solution to the “slow web” problem is to disable JavaScript completely for casual browsing. It works beautifully.

It’ll be interesting to see how the pendulum swings back from this, if it ever does.
Honestly, I have a hard time even resenting your friend. Maybe she was especially good at her job, but most of what I saw from that industry was laughably bad. You'd have to be a complete moron to be taken in by it.

That tens of millions were had more to do with the fact that we'd been doing it to ourselves for decades than with your friend's additions to it. Oh, certainly she made everything a tiny bit worse, but I don't have any anger to spare on top of the deep enmity I feel for the people who teed up the situation in which she worked.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if your friend (and her coworkers) did something less despicable for a living it would not have made much difference. People right here carefully cultivated that environment of hatred and gullibility that your friend helped exploit. They're the real problems -- and they're still doing it.

I tell people that diving is a bit like flying. You preflight your equipment, use checklists, and monitor your condition at all times. It's equipment-centric, and one of the best things you can do is read accident reports.

In flying, people die when they accidentally fly into instrument conditions. In diving, people die when they jump in without turning on their air.
Enterprise might say $5-15, but someone who controls their own budget and spends all day in the browser would easily pay more. Freelancers. Bootstrappers. The same way people pay for an IDE.
seems like i was under the _likely_ incorrect impression black holes have mass but no volume (singularity and all..) and so infinite density. But, then again, what happens beyond the event horizon is meaningless anyway.
Prosecute, no.

However, if this were in a more traditional scientific field, this sort of error would be treated as a serious lapse of experimental oversight protocols and the school or the participants would be sanctioned according to their professional discipline (in this case, that would probably be the IEEE).

Unethical experiments are a huge deal. If this had been an experiment on people face to face in e.g. a sociology context, then these students would likely have been expelled (and probably deported) and would likely be leaving the field.

Since it was in an IT area, the U's oversight rules probably weren't even applied.
Nonsense. HN worries (enjoys, rather) problems that appeal to them. Linux running on a pen. A new programming framework demonstrates an abstract point. Etc.

What HN is doing here is internalizing cliches, responding to hyperbole/tropes they (we) assume is in the article. Also, the artsy-philosphical terms used by architects pisses off nerds. "Humane Architecture" and whatnot.

This is HN being silly, not HN being smart. We do both here.

Of course, 99.9% of the population is not on an M1 so I'm probably being an idiot.

You're probably right, whether we have free will or not, we still cannot tell the future, so we should act as if we have it. This poster is clearly conflating their own life situation, which might limit them somehow, with the universe at large. I could get divorced and disown my son and run off to another place to start another life, but I "can't" do that because of my own morals and limitations for what I'm willing to do. The OP could do a similar thing, but chooses not to because of whatever thing is limiting then from that decision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_Unite...

"The bottom half of the income distribution had a huge share of its wealth tied up in real estate while owning essentially no shares of corporate stock. The top 1 percent, by contrast, wasn't just rich — it was specifically rich in terms of owning companies, both stock in publicly traded ones ("corporate equities") and shares of closely held ones ("private businesses")...So the value of those specific assets — assets that people in the bottom half of the distribution never had a chance to own in the first place — soared.

NPR also reported in 2017 that the bottom 50% of U.S. households (by net worth) have little stock market exposure (neither directly nor indirectly through 401k plans), writing: "That means the stock market rally can only directly benefit around half of all Americans — and substantially fewer than it would have a decade ago, when nearly two-thirds of families owned stock."

A poor person is not greatly affected by debasement of their savings in currency, because they don't have any savings.

Debasement eventually shows up in the form of inflation of consumer goods prices. And inflated housing prices makes it nearly impossible for future generations to ever own a home, depending on the city.
The whole idea is that your browser is increasingly shifting towards becoming your operating system. Think about it, people spend the majority of their time on Chrome or Desktop apps wrapped in Chromium (Electron). If you consider Mighty to be a cheap supercomputer, not an expensive browser, it makes sense to pay $30/month for that. People pay SuperHuman $30/month for better email when they can use Gmail for free, but the truth is that SuperHuman gives you much more than an interface. Even better, Mighty isn't limited to power-users. Eventually your physical computer will merely serve as an interface to your real computer in the cloud.
Well, presumably if OP statement were true, recreational diving would involve large numbers of casualties. Casualties in recreational diving are somewhat rare, however, at 2 per million dives.

Tourist dives are even safer since they do not perform advanced dives. Overall, the evidence does not support the view "If you really have only a vague recollection of basic safety checks you shouldn't be diving - seriously."

Most tourists diving have only that and they're not dying in droves.
There are some hard usability limits that feel like the performance has stagnated or getting worse: when resizing Relayouting needs to be faster than the time for one frame (16ms usually). On Windows seemingly no software manages to do that.
Hold on, you were talking about the danger of operating the wipers on the touchscreen. That is completely unrelated to autopilot.

You’re just pushing your agenda here. By the way, a tip on that: that first site completely discredits any kind of safety discussion as soon as it’s mentioned. It scares you with a long list of accidents when only 6 are potentially related to autopilot in a decade of its existence, vs 1.3 million deaths happening every year for all car brands.

Worth noting that org files can also embed images inline. Unfortunately, I don't think it's enough to attract new users: images are non-interactive, you can't embed any other media, you have to pop a separate window to edit code, you can't embed rendered markdown (ie. headers and paragraphs have mostly the same font style/size), and so on. Sure org, babel, and calc give you a lot of other things to like, but that's if you're already an Emacs user.
Housing prices are high because the stock market is high and interest rates are rock bottom. The higher the stock market goes and the lower interest rates go, the more house prices are juiced. Anyone without exposure to the stock market will never be able to afford a house, ever. That's where the income inequality is really stark.

> Isn't it simple statistics? If you're on a ward with 10 people who are ill and coughing at you you'll need a mask.

I addressed this in my comment:

> Higher viral loads [and longer exposure] put you at higher risk, but the messaging decidedly wasn't that masks are only protective at high viral loads. Let alone the incredibly basic prior on respiratory diseases' vector being limited by _covering up the sources of spread_.

"Medical workers need masks more because they have more exposure" is not the same thing as "masks don't work for the general public", and brazenly and badly lying to the public has costs that have been demonstrable throughout the pandemic (helped along by our dear insane President over the course of the pandemic).

> If you're walking about in the street, not getting closer than 2m to anyone, and not spending much time in close proximity to anyone, the mask isn't doing much.

This is a general-purpose argument which explains away the existence of community spread, which we know was happening (33m US cases later...). Especially given what we now know about air vs surface transmission, people were clearly spreading it to each other last spring in ways that masks would have mitigated. Knowing what we now know about the difficulty of outdoor spread, people by definition were not universally adhering to what you're describing. Leaving aside the non-compliant (some portion of whom would have worn masks despite violating indoor gathering guidelines), many people were unable to avoid this: nursing homes, grocery stores, meatpacking plants, and all manner of essential workers[1] were clearly enough to drive robust spread.

[1] Here's a list of just how expansive the "essential worker" category was in NYS: https://www.lawandtheworkplace.com/2020/03/new-york-state-ma....

(Note that I don't mean that as a criticism, just a note that your postulated world of 100% of people never coming within 2m of anyone, including outside, is not reflective of reality)
See, I strongly disagree. I believe that, whatever my status, I have the right to associate with whomever I please. Which means I can shun whomever I please. I can also talk with whomever I please, including about people I'm avoiding.

So you can have a 1st Amendment, or you can have your Designated Excommunicators, but you can't have both.
A pet peeve of mine is the deferral and personification of "policy". Policy is just your opinion that you happen to have written down in the past. It holds no power over you, you write the policy! It's not like the US law, which while also just words on paper, is enforced (and often chosen by) other people over you. Me deferring to the law (vs. my own opinion) has meaning because they can be different. The way we really know this is that we repeatedly see policy broken all the time -- again, because it's just a pretend separate agent, not an actual entity that wields power over you. It does in fact ultimately just serve to disguise an active action as a passive one "Oh, I checked the book of rules (that I wrote) and it said I can't let you do that. Shucks. Man, that book, its a tough negotiator. Nothing we can do I'm afraid." I think it is their right to write the rules, but just own up to it. Say "we aren't doing it because we don't want to," that's the truth, because if they did want to, they would, regardless of the "policy".
Improving Your Daily Standups
There's a middle ground between (relatively) blind trial and error and being divinely granted insight. Deliberate reading of documentation (be it API, language standard, books, tutorials (better ones), etc.) lets you learn without just trying things or piecing a theory together from examples (underdocumented ones that don't explain the why of their choices).
Hard to say how many though.

... which is, unfortunately, a weakness of F-Droid's own making (for the right reasons!). Because they don't do stat-tracking on users, they don't have numbers. So Play Store is able to claim "1 billion active monthly users" (as of 2015) with some certainty, F-Droid can give an approximation and a shrug.

That's really interesting ... you're the first customer I have ever heard make the connection between the breach notification provisions of (for instance) a BAA and the Warrant Canary.

I have very briefly considered that link myself but never gave it much serious thought. To be honest, we worry a bit if the kind of customer that is giving careful thought to custody and disclosure and notifications would be spooked by the Warrant Canary and just think it was weird ...

So I'm glad to hear that and I think that perhaps we should reconsider making that explicit link ...
I don't think that's true at all for Python. It's explicitly created as a "batteries included" language with a very large standard library. This is a quote from PEP 206:

"The Python source distribution has long maintained the philosophy of "batteries included" -- having a rich and versatile standard library which is immediately available, without making the user download separate packages."
I suspect you're wrong. But you made the claim, could you supply some of this "clear thinking"?

I agree with the sentiment the web has gotten slow for no reason in some ways, but at the end of the day not everything that has made the web so "heavy" is Js developer self-pleasuring and ad-tech.

A modern browser has PDF rendering, video rendering, 3D, AR/VR, a camera viewer, an RTC platform, a screencaster, and much much more. If you tried to run the equivalents of all of this from back in the day at the same time, you'd also bring those old PCs to a crawl too.

I feel like I see the argument that tweet makes a lot and the answer if you look at what browsers are expected to do now is... yeah actually it does.

-

There is a real problem of what we're doing with all that power sometimes, but the drive was created by real need from users. The wild west days of installing a new piece of software for every single utility were great for technical people, but not so great for making the PC an accessible piece of technology
There’s something cool in the idea of a community all building their own dwellings - even if it meant hiring a fancy machine to do the hard work while they all chipped to prep the ground the plumbing, fed the machine clay or whatever.

It’s not something you could measure on a spreadsheet but it’d be immensely cool to be a part of that, maybe even somewhere remote where you don’t really want to bring much more than absolutely necessary.
