Depends if I wanted to compete with Apple or not. I would have spent whatever it took. The board members at these companies obviously decided that cash now was more important than competing with Apple.
For New Zealand, anywhere except Auckland or Wellington would be fine. You can get a 1br apartment in downtown Christchurch for US300/week.

Although, NZ is really open for immigration right now.

Manjaro is and that's based on Arch. They curate the updates for you to prevent breakages and the need to tinker endlessly.

I've been running it for 3 years on 4 machines and I've had far less breakage from updates than with my Windows or Mac machines.

"You bought a BBQ grill, you must be interested in more BBQ grills". This is how Amazon ML engine seems to work for me
I toy with the idea every once in awhile. I own a M1 Mac and I actually hate it for various reasons. I've been a mac fanboi (I'm probably an even bigger Linux fanboi) for many years as I feel like I gave me so many of the things I love about Linux/BSD... and it's flat out beautiful. But as many have stated. Over the years, it's ceased to match my workflow. I've always kept plenty of Linux machines around me, so for the past few years, I've been full time on Linux. I do miss getting my text messages on my laptop. I do miss transferring music with ease - but I have to be honest. Using iTunes/Music to transfer music to my iPhone has actually been pretty painful the past few years. When I try to drag and drop, for some odd reason, it just says, "nope".

My issue is, the alternatives are just not as high quality. I looked at ditching my iPhone 12 for a Pixel 4 or a Samsung, and maybe getting the Samsung watch (which I hear can do blood pressure now?). But I've read so many bad reviews. Sadly, one of the biggest things that keeps me on Apple right now is iMessage. We have plenty of Apple products in the household, so I'd never ditch them totally.
One of my biggest issues with modern day phone sis the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Wired headphones mean total device compatibility (true plug and play), no battery issues and less risk of loosing them somewhere. Also, they are cheaper at comparable audio quality (and that is all I care about with headphones).
California, a sea of Macs, all people switching from laptops running Linux
Yep, I started when I was 15. Quit many times, and finally managed to get off them about 10 years ago. But I could take it up again in a second, the thought of having one never completely goes away.
If we go back hundreds of years, to the days of the first newspapers, consuming news had more importance. Financially and health-wise. It probably also gave a greater sense of belonging and something to talk about.

I'm 40 and I cannot think of a single instance where consuming news (the of the moment, ephemeral kind we're talking about here) saved my ass in some way. It never had a direct effect, not even the extra-extra-read-all-about-it! news.

News of critical events, the 22/7 (Norway), 9/11, and gas leak type of events, always reached me through a phone call from a friend or relative before I read about it anywhere.

And certainly, other types of news, non-critical events kind, was never important enough to hear about right after or during the occurrence. Then again, I'm not a have-to-watch-it-live kind of guy, I can enjoy the replay.

Whether consuming the news causes more stress like some studies claim, I don't know, but I certainly think it a waste of ones time.

As for having something to talk about, hell, I have more than enough to talk about without knowing what happened in the world the last few moments, or even yesterday.

Not consuming this type of news is not choosing to stay uninformed. I read analysis, editorials, history, etc.
I wonder what are the others, though. For some reason they have been redacted out.
+1. I used to run Linux on my primary laptop. I'm a fairly competent Linux admin. I just got really tired of being forced to be a fairly competent admin so much of the time when I was trying to just get something done.

> writing scripts that listen to DBus or udev

Exactly. Not to mention the preceding step of spending 30 minutes in forums to find someone else who has had this problem on a system with exactly the same motherboard so you don't try the things that didn't work for them.

I'm still 100% Linux on the server, headless Linux doesn't have nearly the warts as GUI Linux.
And an excellent band name for a Progressive Metal band, if ever I heard one.

I think that highly depends on your subject. I know people that said it was expected to have your own copy of X,Y,Z because you needed it all the time and not just to look something up once a semester. Biology for example. For me with CS it also wouldn't have made sense to use the ones I bought in a library, because everyone would've needed them at the same time. But I can't complain, the cost was negligible, maybe 5-7 books under 100€ each, over the whole timespan.
You can imagine them being used to get people from train stations or similar to tall buildings, I suppose.
anything new on this topic since 2013 you think?

Plenty of previous discussion from 3 years ago:

Facebook is the in plain sight backdoor for the 3 letter agencies, no fine that will shut them down will ever be issued by any US court so long they collaborate.

This is like wrestling on tv, but with legal entities.
I haven't listened to that much of Joe Rogan, but I feel what's he's really missing is any sort of attempt at understanding through rational criticism. Just letting people talk their same talking points doesn't particularly promote an understanding, rather it just provides another soap box next to a familiar face. The slant of both Rogan and his guests wouldn't matter much if there were analysis of the ideas presented - ie if Joe Rogan stood for some kind of wider context in which guests had to justify their ideals.

For instance, if Meghan Murphy is on as a "gender critical feminist", then why is Rogan letting her go on about "Marxism" ? I'm sure the term means something to her. But unless the best of her opponents are describing their own points in terms of "Marxism", then it's merely a straw man for her to bash.

If she really thinks her definition of "Marxist" is an important lemma for her main point and it's not going to color the conversation too much, then make her fully define that term how she's using it and elaborate whenever she uses it - don't let it be a "stop thinking" terminus as such terms are often used.

In general, guests should be spending the effort to make widely accessible points about their topic, to promote a larger understanding. I know these generally exist from my own attempts at understanding, because they gain followers somehow, and because the opposing camp goes out in their own weeds. Not pushing guests into the larger context just results in propagating the same old self-consistent-in-a-vacuum narrative that all of the political teams rely on.

An important part of having an open mind is questioning what is coming in. A closed mind doesn't take in a point. A too-open mind just lets any point pass through. There is a happy middle that forces conflicting ideas to be reconciled with one another, and we need a lot more of that. I don't know if Joe Rogan can actually be the person we want him to be, but he's certainly in the right position.

> They're going to talk to your friends and neighbors and there's a good chance they'll find out.

They're going to talk to the three friends you listed on your SF-86 and your former landlords at the address listed. Many people seem to think that SSBI investigations consist of, like, the Stasi slapping people around in basements trying to find out what people are hiding. Far from it. If you don't have an arrest record and were discreet about your prior drug use (ie not putting it on social media) and your friends have common sense, you have little to worry about. The process is a lot more about confirming that you lived where you said you did / had no contact with foreign agents than it is about uncovering prior drug use. Anecdotally, it is very common for people to get a waiver for "occasional experimentation with marijuana in high school" when in fact they were enthusiastic recreational drug users for years. As far as drug use goes, SSBIs are essentially a Potemkin process. Given the extent to which selective amnesia is prevalent among SCI applicants, I think it would make sense to reform the process so that applicants can be fully transparent and forgiven for their past transgressions as long as they piss clean.
Bootcamp on a MAC is real hit or miss when it comes to Linux. Honestly never seen a modern Macbook Pro run linux natively without major compromise. Hell the window's drivers are bad enough, Apple doesn't really want users doing anything other than OSX.

I will say they have no problem booting up a VM, and everything he is doing can be done in a VM with hardware accelerated graphics. So Full screened feels just like the real thing, as long as you are not playing modern games. Boot into windows for that.

That being said there are Windows Laptops that will give a Macbook Pro a run for the money, but when it comes to the $1k price range the Macbook Air is hard to beat. I like the ARM chips for basic users, but for a Power user the ARM chips are a step backwards. Unless you want to run ARM based Linux. With my many years of raspberry pi use, ARM has gone a long way on the Linux front. But not sure if i'd want to rock that as my main.

At the same time you can do all these things on Windows as well.... Really more of a personal preference. I have limited experience with Linux for Windows Subsystem 2, but it worked damn well when I used it.
Fighting a war over an industry reliant on large, immobile, extremely vulnerable factories/laboratories is really, really, really, really, really, really, really stupid.

If China invaded Taiwan to controls fabs, the USA would just destroy them with air power. And that's assuming Taiwan didn't sabotage them first.

I'm fairly sure that Migadu also supports caldav, although I don't think there's any UI for it on the web. I think there's pretty much an expectation that most people using Migadu are bringing their own clients rather than using the web one anyways.

A Solution for the Firebase Cold Start Problem
Kids can tell when they aren't being given straight answers.

Kids may not understand that they're doing "The 5 Whys", and//or that doing so may be annoying for the umpteenth time.

But non-answers like "because" as the be-all & end-all has an expiration date. That bill comes due for somebody. If that somebody ends up being your grown-up kid when it's time to pay, I wonder how much sympathy I'll have and for whom.
This may be a full RCE vulnerability but from what I can tell the exploit requires intercepting or redirecting HTTP traffic from the router to the update server.

Thats definitely a massive problem because anyone with access to DNS records (ISPs, governments, educational facilities, and so on) can remotely hack all of these devices, but on the other hand this poses no direct threat. The "immediately" part of the title seems overstated.

This just seems like a random, run-of-the-mill crappy router vulnerability to me. I'd be surprised if there was a consumer router that wasn't vulnerable to this somehow. Good thing Netgear provides a patch, though.
Since we know the conclusion to be false, any reasoning that would support this hypothetical turtle's conclusion that no seafarers existed in 1450 is inarguably an example of bad reasoning.
We always assume that civilizations expand into space without consideration for benefit, but I don't think that will be the case, honestly.

Should we want a colony on another planet? In another star system? Absolutely. It doesn't take much expansion for us to achieve the goal of having a 'redundant backup' for humanity.

Beyond that, there has to be some sort of economic incentive to drive it. Given there is little chance we can economically trade between planets, much less between star systems, I don't think that incentive is there.
Are these numbers for an average US franchise or am I misunderstanding?

If so, it would make sense that for the average franchise, doubling salary wouldn't be viable. But surely there's a distribution where some stores are much more profitable than the average, and for those stores it would. Presumably that's part of the reason why Denmark only has 80 McDonalds (about 1/3 per capita of what the US does[0]).

So, they demand to change an established scientific practice because they don't like the results it produced in a particular case. And then everyone wonders why people no longer "trust the science".
I think there are plenty of things which make a difference — for example the training and mentoring I mentioned — but the methodology point touches on the problem that they're neither cheap nor easy and most places are unwilling to invest in them. Very few companies which “adopt” something like Agile manage to substantially transform their culture because that's hard and it's a lot easier to make an announcement, do Agilefall, and avoid hard conversations.

I wonder if that’s why it’s so difficult to look up specific stories. I vividly recall reading one in my childhood about a KotRT who sought out to challenge another who was supposed to be unbeatable during daylight, but insisted on waiting to challenge him at his best rather than his weakest. Always thought it was a great honor story and I can’t for the life of me find it.
Yeah. No apps = no success.
A developer-focused computer would obviously run Linux, so you'd have a large ecosystem right from the start.
So many people are looking for selfish motives here, or even (because it's Amazon) sinister ones. I doubt they're sitting in a board room twirling their mustaches and cackling about the chaos they'll sew once they control pot distribution. I do believe they're doing this to make more money: my reasoning is that that's what for-profit companies do. But, just because it's Amazon doesn't mean you have to oppose this. Try to imagine a massive corporation lobbying for legalizing marijuana twenty years ago, and take the win!
Well, that's new knowledge for me. Especially knowing that in its northern neighbor, Indonesia, there is an earthquake somewhere in its region.
I read somewhere that the fabs are already equipped with bombs that can be made to explode if there is an invasion from China. Considering how clean those places have to be in order to work, this can cause immense damage to those fabs.
Does it make sense to expect 100% completion? Maybe for something new our estimates are off by X% and future ones get more accurate. But then there's unplanned tasks/work from infrastructure issues or a high priority issue from upper management, or some other group.

So then the idea is - well, "fix" the other unplanned work by adding more process to those other groups...

BUT then overall the business changes anyway.

conclusion - the point of all this is:

1 - we create an illusory sense of control so the business can feel good about it
2 - so at least we don't have to be overwhelmed by an infinite todo list and can end each day with some sense of work/life balance
Yes, but if you admit honestly to having had used, but promise ever so sincerely to never do it again (this time, for sure), then you don't get denied (on that account). I've even seen the FBI agents in the interviews not-so-subtly guiding people towards the "right answer".
That only really matters if you think he can't see good from bad at all. Even if he just ignored most and only acted on things that looked phenomenal, he might see more of those than the average person.

If it's really something worth keeping I would probably print it out to keep it safe, instead of letting it disappear in a continuing chat, with the risk of losing it, because your data is on somebody else's server and you're not in control of it.
They definitely talk to absolutely everyone you list on your application form. And superhydration is going to, at the very least, get you a second drug test a week later. THC resides in your body's fat cells, so it takes quite a long time before it fully clears your system to no longer be detectable in a drug test.
Can we infer that since "we need a real large scale controlled trial to settle the issue", the positive effect (if any) is necessarily small?

I'm struggling to see your point. Fujifilm does not have the same incentives as Apple.
Yeah, the out-of-box encoders included with Linux distros in 2002 would likely not have been great. If you were lucky you might have gotten an early version of LAME. If you do the experiment again, it may be worth using either the likes of Spotify/Apple Music (okay, strictly speaking neither are mp3, but same general idea, and they'll put effort into encoding properly), or using a decent modern encoder (LAME, the Apple one, etc).
>It seems to me that there is something about American culture that is inherently right-leaning.

The American left's branding is being "other" to the status quo. Nothing can simultaneously be both status quo and belong to the left. Once something moves from the "left" to "status quo" the success doesn't count, because it's no longer the "left's," it's everybodies. And the left has to find a new way to be against it (or stay silent on the topic).

Without saying anything about where the force vectors that create this common view comes from, the sum result is a narrative with bounds. Bounds that are reinforced and entrenched because they can be useful to leverage for political gain by them and/or their opponents.

So no matter how many times the left have succeed or will succeeded at marketing many ideas to the average American, some people feel they're much more ineffectual than they are.
>While many of the points made by this article are valid, it fails to address important questions like: how can we remain informed

Well, an earlier question would be: why should we "remain informed"?

To have something to talk about with friends, or because it "matters"?

If it matters, it's not just news we get from media to us, but something we actively follow and do something about it (e.g. it might be labour laws and we're a union). If that's the case, news will get to us one way or another, and with more primary sources and higher quality than what we'd have learned from the media.

>and how do we decide what is important enough to be informed about?

Did anything you were "informed about" in the past by news made any real difference in your life (you having been informed, not the news item itself).
We thought of that, but again: McD's Corporate has numbers for 4 of the DK locations, and they look like the American numbers. All of the DK locations allegedly use the higher wage. I don't understand how this could work.

That is confusing off with undesired. In other words "would it still taste like this if the chef had spent more time/effort/money".

Cilantro tasting like cilantro -> great.
Cilantro tasting like it is old/thawed/burnt -> not great.

Taste being "off" is about unintentional deviation.
There are probably enough people of financial means who are willing to pay for expensive and much faster taxi service, especially if they can go to the roof of the building they're currently in to depart.

There are lots of reasons why this won't work, but it could work... and it could be quite useful in the right scenario.

Lots of useful long distance flights leave early in the morning, meaning to get to the airport for those flights you have to leave VERY early. But with an air taxi like this, it might allow you to save a couple of hours and a lot of headache.

It's not really mass-marketable though, and I doubt we could expect to see a constant stream of little air taxis buzzing around.
You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Good luck clearing up your confusion.
How does the current field of studies compare to Remdesivir? Remdesivir is a repurposed antiviral (originally designed for Ebola) with fairly low efficacy, and very severe side effects, and it breezed through FDA emergency authorization. I don't understand why it seems that the bar is set so low for Remdesivir, but so high for Ivermectin.
> if you can produce energy that cheaply you can sustain a large population in comfort at home

Don't see the reasoning here.

For example, we currently can feed the whole Earth population "cheaply". But the wars didn't end. Same with cheap energy.

E.g. we can try to install vast amounts of mirrors to direct Sun's light towards an accelerating ship. But that won't bring us here more comfort.
Unless in the lead up to war each country hides its valuable targets. They could probably create hundreds of decoy facilities within a few months to throw attackers off the mark.

I’d bet the big players already have plans for introducing decoy trucks, trains, planes & ships in the event a war breaks out in our age of unlimited surveillance.
