I had a later Macbook which had that same feature.

Beyond the ability to swap in an alternate keyboard the ability to pull out the keyboard and clean it well was amazing. The amount of junk which came out of that keyboard when you removed it and tapped it on the table was equal parts fascinating and disgusting.

Overall I don't lament the old laptops too much. While they made it easier to clean, the newer laptops seem to catch far less stuff.

Plus, the power cable on that generation of computer was... Awful. This was pre-magsafe and the center pin of the cable, which looked like a headphone connector, would break off INSIDE the computer. It was a huge hassle resulting in multiple returns until someone from the apple store figured out a trick with a toothpick and some super glue.
> Second, all of ProtonMail's code that runs on your device is open source and independently audited.

When will you support reproducible builds, or are you supporting it already? Because only then we can be 100% that same code is actually running in there without reverse-engineering between every update.
Most MMT economists I follow on the topic would say MMT is independent of QE as a policy.

But also as an outlay of currency, QE is one of the least effective uses to support or generate productive capacity.
I didn't say that. What I'm saying is that if "don't tell the police anything" is good advice, "don't carry large amounts of cash" is also good advice.

In a just world, neither talking to the police nor carrying cash would result in your money getting stolen.
I mean the trope of colleges turning people into leftist hippie communists is older than my parents.

But K-12 in the US tries to hammer so much “so misleading it might as well be false” pro-America propaganda during exactly the age that kids are generally rebelling against anything authority tells them that’s it’s not all that surprising that during a major economic downturn that’s only benefiting those with capital that people would start to have a distaste for the system that produced this mess.
You're doing some of the most important work on the Internet right now, and I for one am profoundly grateful.

Seriously, for anyone else reading, this attempt to provide federated privacy of communication is the kind of thing Saint iGNUcious himself might bless (I don't know if he does but am hopeful).

I had a chat with a friend recently and he said in response to my declination to use Signal:

"(I appreciate the commitment to decentralisation, but the battle of messaging apps ended up elsewhere). You're still fighting for the emperor in the jungle but the forces in the war changed years ago :)"

Decentralisation is the very purpose of the Internet, and federation is how it will work.

We just need to help you solve all the user experience problems, and they are very soluble.

Keep up the great work!
I find that I'm better able to focus on conversations if I have some other stimulus to keep some part of my mind occupied. When I try to appear to give someone my "full attention" I struggle to comprehend and get overwhelmed by what I understand to be my adhd brain going off on 50 tangents at a time. It 100% looks rude but after setting expectations with my friends and family they seem to either understand or at least tolerate it.
I still own mine and it still boots and works well. I did have to replace the battery, but surprisingly it’s still available from third parties.

It blows my mind a little that I can plug it right into my network and access my modern synology NAS without any special configuration on either side.

It was the first device I owned that had WiFi but I never used it back then and sold the airport pcmcia card. The screen resolution was decent for the time, and it was as expandable as PC laptops.
In the case of a bug in software you didn't write, you can spend hours reading and debugging a foreign codebase, and end up writing nothing but a one-line fix and a ten-line test case.
Thank you. I am familiar with the K480, but it can only accommodate tablets up to 10" wide; was hoping to find out what model mdp2021 found to accommodate up to a 13.3" tablet.

The is no such thing as Social Security “solvency”.

If Social Security cannot pay it’s obligations to recipients, it is funded by the general treasury. The treasury doesn’t have the funds either, so is funded by treasuries.
Private people can't be powerful, bright, and respected? Plus their example was Brasilia, not a private initiative either.

Right, of course. I'm talking about decrypting the past messages.

Obviously they can modify their software to capture your decryption password, my question is more out of curiosity than it being a serious advantage against a state actor targeting you specifically.

I am fairly sure that protonmail cannot do this without modifying the software to target me by capturing the decryption password.

Of course they can always capture plaintext messages as they come in, we can only assume they don't keep records of that. If that's true, and we only have their word for that, it would make any requests forward focused, like a wire tap rather than a search of old bank records. They can't necessarily access old emails without explicit effort.

It's not some insurmountable barrier, and I don't mean to suggest it is. It's trivial to think of at least three ways to work around it, assuming you are still logging in. But it is a difference in design.
The workflow and "feeling" is not the same.
The toilet seat iBook is a cute retro object, but it wasn't very popular at the time. It was bulky even for a 1999 laptop.

When the "iceBook" replacement finally shipped in 2001, the new rectangular, lighter and thinner design was universally praised as much better:

https://lowendmac.com/2001/12-500-mhz-ibook-g3-dual-usb-mid-...

I remember this 2001 iBook was the first Mac for a lot of people who wouldn't have considered buying an Apple product previously. The Titanium PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X had started creating some interest in the new Apple, but it was way too expensive. The $1,299 iBook was a much more reasonable entry into the world of Unix Mac.

> The terminal is now extensively (but efficiently) queried on startup. Some properties are derived from the results.

> Eventually, this will be expanded to eliminate our reliance on TERM and dependence on terminfo.

So they're doing feature detection? I didn't know that was possible for terminals, but if it is then it does seem like a nice step forward. Of course, it seems like such an obvious improvement that I'm curious why it hasn't happened before (i.e. why is everyone else still depending on TERM?)

> The US need not worry about inflation until a bigger more stable economy comes along, which is a long way off.

You raised a good point about inflation not necessarily being tied to printing money, but you ignored the fact that if you print more money (without an obvious productive place for it to go) then you simply increase supply without increasing demand which causes inflation. It's happening right now in the US by just about every metric, and there is good reason to believe it is about to go up a lot more.

So no, the US not only is currently experiencing inflation like it has not seen for decades but there is likely to be a lot more in the near future. The Fed is printing money like crazy (I believe we've printed approximately 30% of our total money supply in the past ~2 years, so in ~2 years we've printed approximately half as much money as we did in the previous ~200 years) which deflates the value of our currency. I actually rounded all the numbers down to make it seem less problematic than it is - I encourage you to check the data for yourself.
Unless my memory fails me, this was the first laptop with built-in wi-fi. (Which, at the time, Apple called "Airport Networking".)

They were incredibly robust, the claim was that they were made out of the same plastic as crash helmets. I don't know how true that actually was, but they did seem to be able to withstand knocks pretty well.

A great laptop for people who actually travelled around with them rather than using them as desktop replacements.

Second sentence contains one of my pet bugbears, 'epicenter' instead of, well, 'center'. If Capote really was at the epicenter of his social circle, then the social circle itself must have been many kilometres below him. Do people think that an epicenter is somehow much more of a center than the center is?
> .. appointed a world-famous architect to design it"

LOL - this is ignorant ! there are two common Master's tracks in the field, Architecture i.e. the design of buildings and interior spaces, and Urban Planning i.e. the design of multiple buildings in a functional way. Anyone would hire an Urban Planner to design urban spaces, not an Architect.

Indeed, the contemporaneous PowerBook G3 "Pismo" was the better machine all around. It was faster, more expandable, more upgradeable with the CPU on a daughter card, and even with the larger 1024x768 display it weighed 1 pound less than the iBook. Of course, it also cost $900 more.
What? No. The signature needs to be added by the image sensor as it gathers data.

It shouldn't be easy to extract it and that's it. It's even less difficult than keeping the DVD/Blueray keys secure because each device has a separate key, so if a line of devices gets compromised easily it's easy to spot.

Then you put a legal framework around what can be presented by media, the requirement for signature collection and so. And one of problems with photo/video authenticity is essentially solved.
Of the 5 tennets of MMT, only 1 is disputed by mainstream economics i think?

As i understand it, more or less everyone (excluding fringe groups) agrees that:

1. All money is created by the state or other banks acting under state licence

2. Money only has value because the government promises to back it

3. because taxes must be paid in government-issued money

4. Therefore government spending comes before taxation

The bone of contention as i understand it is the 5th tennet:

5. Government deficits are necessary and good because without them the means to make settlement would not exist in our economy

As i understand the argument, it boils down to a disagreement about whether public investment can crowd out private.

I don't think Twitter could afford to lose money with Vines for very long.

However this just shows that FOSS GUI programming is in such a dire state that people have to resort to TUIs because it is so much easier to develop for and to deploy.
Fwiw, the Big 5 (OCEAN) personality inventory is one of the more robust findings in psychology (much more so than all the examples from the blog post)

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

and the four Meyers Briggs "types" are quite correlated with four of the Big 5.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indi...

Biggest issue with Meyers Briggs is that it gives people the impression that types are discrete (i.e., traits have a bimodal distribution) when in fact the traits are normally distributed. And of course it's just out of date since MB was developed decades ago and is entrenched in the business world.

Which neatly fits the toilet seat analogy - you generally can't see the back of a toilet seat lid when it's open, so images printed on toilet seat lids have the same orientation as the Apple logo on the iBook G3 lid.
On Twitter, a single person can form a mob and harass another, not-very-famous person off the platform pretty easily.
Something like this has been sorely needed. terminfo has simply failed to keep up with modern terminal features, and propagating new terminfo database entries to remote systems has been a challenge. The combination has been a stagnation of terminal programs combined with hacky ad-hoc feature detection or non-TERM-based, non-portable feature signaling.
Oh, well, if you're a leading researcher in math pedagogy, you should just say so and save time. Such credibility would offer serious firepower to the debate.

Yes, there are some people who simply prefer Objective-C, but you need to also realize that Swift is still not ready for system-level programming. Analysis tools aren’t ready; debugging basically means you go to printing variables to stderr and praying. The standard library defaults to crashing at runtime for simple float <-> integer conversion bounds errors which you’d think would be caught statically with more thoughtful design. Still a lot of rough edges.

SwiftUI in particular is excellent and if you can use it you should. But you can’t say Swift in general is ready to replace Objective-C. It’s not.
I believe that was acknowledged in some of the pull requests, and also a problem with correctly using credentials for repositories and various solutions were proposed (see one of my other comments for links). Ultimately, the reason given in the pull requests I saw was along the lines of "it will fracture the namespace and hurt the community".

Disabling all registries except for those whitelisted and requiring full names for those would probably have been sufficient for this problem, and not fractured the community IMO. There's a difference between what you allow in dev and what you allow in production, where you should have a chance to vet all new requirements and ensure they are appropriate. It's just unacceptable for some organizations to allow stuff to be as ad hoc as that, as much as Docker might want to inject itself into their processes at that level.
What about hearing the door? What about any effects the door interaction might have?

I think narrowing it to “seeing” the door might produce a limited result that closes a lot of doors on proper multiplayer handling of other game mechanics.
You may be right, but it seems utterly irrelevant to the issue here.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but that looks like yet another multi-master high-availability system, which is also an important property for a system to have but more or less unrelated tow hat I was talking about.

As far as open-source add-ons for true horizontal scaling, I think [Citus](https://github.com/citusdata/citus) is the most well-known and sophisticated, but I don't have enough experience with it in production to have a particularly strong opinion yet. It might work quite well, but I still fundamentally doubt that it will ever be as good as a system that was designed to support horizontal sharding from the ground up.

In what world is a currency crisis a better outcome than people being honest about what is happening and either defaulting or raising taxes? Sovereign countries that go down the road of emergency devaluation are routinely found at the start of the worst stories.

> (1) Upper floors of a skyscraper is probably the most expensive place you could store water in.

Water pipes are pressurized using gravity (there's a reason tanks for water distribution systems are commonly referred to as "water towers"); indeed, water systems frequently measure pressure using the height above sea level it can reach without pumps rather than more natural units of pressure. If the city's water mains aren't capable of pushing it to every floor of your building (which is going to be true for a skyscraper), then you'll have to naturally pressurize it yourself by keeping the main water tank high.

If you don't do that, your options are either to pump the main water main anyways (just without a natural tank on the top), with lots of pressure regulators for the lower flows; several vertical water mains to service different vertical pressure zones; or one water main with lots and lots of smaller (and hence less efficient overall) pumps to keep the pressure reasonable at different altitudes. Keeping the water tank high instead lowers the amount of infrastructure you need, lowers the costs of regulating pressure, and has better fail-safe conditions if the power cuts out for a while.
> Irrational numbers are defined as any numbers that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.

I'm sorry, this is not how math works. Reals are basically defined as number. But what is a number?

Also the definition of Q is missing the quotient construction (or any motivation of how to deal with ka/kb = a/b).

I wouldn't dare say we should go back to it but it is how many use to communicate long ago. The mechanism is simple, if you deliver anything yourself you must live up to your own expectations. The louder you moan about everything the more harshly we should examine your stuff. You cant complaint when people ridicule or critique your software if you do it yourself all the time: You've openly invited it!

And yeah, it was more effective. You just have to remember the topic is your code not your person - they are 2 entirely different things. i.e. Brendan Eich is a wizard but javascript started out as a smoking pile of shit.

>If you don't believe me then please try to explain why hasn't Japan experienced a double or triple digit inflation.

It's important to note that Japan should not be viewed as a template for the US. Both countries are quite different in many regards. The former is one of biggest creditor nations with private sector deleveraging for almost 2 decades thus compensating for significant part of the government leveraging, meanwhile the latter is the world's biggest debtor nation with both private and government sectors becoming more and more leveraged (see [0] for a more thorough comparison). The ultimate question is: for how long the US will be able to maintain USD as the main reserve currency. We already can see that foreign governments and investors do not wish to buy more T-bonds and even tend to sell them.

According to this article, the last mile deliveries are made by drivers employed by what they Amazon calls Delivery Service Partners:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-05/amazon-wo...

According to this article, Amazon is suggesting the companies they pay to make the home deliveries to skip marijuana testing in order to find more drivers:

https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2021-09-01...

The distinction is important because Amazon seems to be wanting the companies they pay to make the home deliveries to pick up possible liabilities from not testing drivers for marijuana use, but it is not clear if Amazon has chosen to accept that liability as well.
