Strongly agreed, of all the stuff I miss from my 2014 MBP USB-A is still #1 (HDMI is a very close #2, though). The only shit I have that plugs into USB-C are Apple devices and a monitor purchased specifically to work with Apple devices. Everything else is still USB-A, and I'm not exactly rushing to replace it considering all other computing devices[0] in my house use USB-A data ports (the single Pi4 I have does charge over USB-C, but its data ports are, sanely, USB-A)

[0 EDIT] Actually I just remembered the pro controllers for my Switch are USB-C, and of course the unit itself charges over USB-C—but what's the data port on the Switch? USB-A! Because of course it is, because that's what's actually useful.
The First Amendment is part of an American document describing American precepts of law for the American government. Specifically, it prevents the American legislative body known as Congress (who represents, exclusively, the American electorate) from passing laws abridging the freedom of speech. It's implied that the First Amendment only applies to Americans, for the same reason that, say, the laws of the EU or Russia don't apply to Americans. Governments only have sovereign authority over their citizens.

Mind you, the First Amendment and freedom of speech are related, but not the same, and one can easily argue that freedom of speech is universal, but not the American Constitution.
That sounds like the problem is not enough bathrooms... by OSHA guidelines you should have 4-5 minimum for that # of employees.
Assange was a total asshat at cons. Much like RMS, he was never to be allowed alone with women; he just didn't know how to act correctly. I totally can see that he would be guilty of rape.
My biggest takeaway from this is regarding the M1 Pro vs Max battery life impact.

If you’re spending $400 for RAM, then $200 from Pro to Max becomes obvious, but the battery life puts a damper on that since I’m not a creative.

Now, if Tensorflow could be properly supported then it might be definitely worth it. Though I’m surprised in their CPU benchmark the increase in memory bandwidth didn’t yield much better results.
Yes, 1.2 billion people need a lot of energy. India has another 1.3 billion. They’re going to need more power too. Coal?

I agree that 340 million Americans need to reduce emissions. Coal is now 20% of electricity. We seem to be waiting for renewables and batteries.

Globally, 40% of electricity comes from coal. At the end of the day, if we use all that coal for much longer, we are going to have a big problem

DBus (the software, rather than the protocol) isn't required on Linux anymore than it is on OpenBSD. It's required by the Plasma and GNOME desktop environments, most KDE and GNOME applications, and any other desktop environments or applications that want to use it.

It's also cross-platform, and runs natively on OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD. It does not leverage a compatibility layer, and depending on it is in no way comparable to requiring an emulation layer like WINE.
I'm using duckdb for querying parquet files as well. It's an awesome tool, so nice to just "look into" parquet files with SQL.

"Decomposing rapidly" has an innocuous sound, until you stop to think: how rapidly?
Usually the "busy work" of repeated idioms in code are best handled by snippets. Most IDEs, Emacs, and Vim have really advanced support for snippet expansion.

The actual custom typing in code is pretty small in comparison. A few var names that auto complete assists with anyway.

I'm sure there is some gains to be had with using steno on code. But I'd bet there's less a return on code than with English prose.
do you guys know if there is a model that came after the 2013 MacBook Air which has a similar keyboard feel?
I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that the designers did not in fact intend for it to work this way.

K&R 2nd edition is ANSI C. It will run everywhere, but I think nowadays C99 is expected at least, along a book on BSD 4.4 and the infamous Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment.

But the K&R 2nd edition is ANSI C is perfect to begin with. 99% of what you see in the src will be enough to be understood with that background.
What if that system had only touched on an infinitesimally small amount of data in an infinite universe over hundreds of years and that system changed constantly to adjust to new discoveries so said system, wasn't totally reliable as a source of truth unless one didn't really understand how that system worked and hubristically treated it as a big daddy who has the answers to the universe, when it really doesn't, instead of a process of constantly evolving understanding?
Speaking of headphones, I know what you mean. But I have been using open back, over-ear headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro) for a few years now and I can wear them for hours without any fatigue.

Isn't that a part of the reason why many times they were marketed as "notebook PCs" instead of "laptops"?
"Analyst expectations" in this context means something perhaps different than how it might readily be interpreted.

In this context, analysts attempt to estimate what sales will be. If analysts had estimated that Apple probably would report sales 49% greater than last year, but Apple reported 47%, the quoted phrase would appear in financial-news articles.

"Analyst expectations" are not expectations in the sense of a parent's potential expectations of their child, but rather their best guess as to what is going to happen.
> Will Apple’s GPU ideas get fully supported by app developers? We’ve been asking that question for a while, and we still don’t know the answer.

Yep, that's going to be a big question mark for the next several months.
On Nextdoor this past week a neighbor posted about her doorbell camera capturing a naked guy running down the street at 3am. Everyone thought it was funny (probably lost a bet, her husband probably came home early, etc.), but my thought is, what is this world coming to when I can’t run down the street naked at 3 am without being filmed. Where is my privacy?
They provide an excellent opportunity for China to convince developed countries to buy its solar panels, all while China increases the number of coal plants every year.

So, in that sense it accomplishes a lot.
While solar is cheaper, the problems are regulatory.

That's not an ad hominem.
admittedly a very personal reason but I _don't_ want to be able to log in to facebook. Each property of theirs has it's own flavor but I personally find facebook with its treasure trove of decade old memories and connections to people i haven't seen in ages to be a bit of a despair and depression pit.

I deleted my account specifically cause I felt like "why am I still looking at this stuff?"

I would love to be able to use oculus or instagram (which i can now) without an FB account. Recently I created an account to use ad manager for my job and it's been really annoying how many friends (from the past) I get suggested and how much the algo seems to want to rebuild my old account...
Oh I completely agree, I love accessibility options -- what I don't like is when the pursuit of accessibility ends up making the experience worse for users with the default settings.
If you construct reactors in fleet mode, a few will come online every year, first reactor comes online. Like China and India are doing. Bigger problem is nuclear fear in west and unavailability of finance in the rest. India could not avail loans from any banks for their new nuclear plants and had to fork out entire capex from govt budget.
Can someone please explain this to me?

No, I can't. Because if you think that a vaccine that has passed numerous trials, been formally approved by the FDA, and has been used literally billions of times, is "experimental", then I don't think anything can be explained to you. No one will reason you out of a position you didn't reason yourself into.

Formal verification absolutely would not have helped in this case.
About your two examples:

(I) This is a case where it's possible the act by the non-citizen is criminal in the US as well; plus the stock exchanges of the world are interlinked in various way, so it has some not-very-indirect negative impact on US companies and citizens. Also, do such things ever happen?

(II) You're establishing GP's point, which is that a special law was needed for extradition in this case.

----------

About your Journalist vs Criminal dichotomy:

* You only mentioned 5 scenarios but refer to a sixth... let's assume you mean just 5.

* GP can't be construed as having discussed option (5), but rather options (1) - (3).

* Something may be defined as a crime by law but be unconstitutional; and the law may yet be struck down by the courts. Law strike-downs happen occasionally in the US, after all.

* Can you provide reference to the claim that (5) is squarely a (federal) crime in the US? That is, that established journalists have been found guilty of doing this?

* Would you claim that scenario (6) is also a crime in the US, where in this scenario the journalist does not tell the source what to look for, and only provides guidance on how to use computing systems and networks discreetly and securely?

> No, intent is not law. You can’t make a stock trade, lose money, and then sue the counter party because your intent was to make money.

The intent (in legal sense) was to make a specific stock trade, not to make money.

If the execution price was obviously incorrect, the trade will be voided for example.
It's unclear what you want to achieve. Is it making a living without doing that same job?

You don't need a billion dollar idea nor education, nor being where hip startuppers are.

Solve someone's problem for money with as little tech as possible until you can live off that income.
Rinse and repeat.
It's common for printed magazines to carry dates that are a month or two after the magazine is actually printed, because that was when subscribers would get their copy or it would appear on the news stand. I think this became common so buyers wouldn't think they were getting an old issue.
I find it increasingly hard to form an investment thesis around big tech companies like Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet.

Mostly because the CEOs all seem so similar. Every time I listen to investor calls of one of them, they are all like "We are proud that we have built tons of great stuff and are excited to build more amazing great stuff.".

I do not see any big bets or different approaches that differentiate the companies.

Can you guys tell me why you would rather invest in one of the big tech companies than the other?

They’ve been on the mark with earnings all year, I just think the market is tepid about getting Apple to the 3 trillion mark since it won’t have anywhere else to run after that. Tin-foil hat me thinks market makers are just toying with the options contracts that anticipate that valuation (killing options that are getting in too early).

Just hold shares on this.
Who cares. You can encrypt the whole disk with bioctl(4).
The market doesn't wait around and say "wow 47%, that stock should go up now", it says "I think it'll be 48%" and the stock goes up in advance.
At least as of >10 years ago when I worked on the code, the equivalent feature in Linux Chrome uses a unix socket in your Chrome profile directory. It was a little subtle to implement in that you need to also handle the case where a crashed browser leaves a socket behind.
Famously, not quite.

I was hoping for the review to have some more information about fan noise. The review mentioned:

> Even when running long benchmarks, like this 30-minute Cinebench test, the MacBook Pro’s fans rarely spun up.

But left out how noisy the fans were when they did spin up. Can anyone here that has one of these models comment on the fan noise compared with any of the latest intel models?
The main reason I'm interested is that my previous 16 inch macbook pro would regularly go up to 90 degrees celsius. So, my hope is that it won't go above 50 degrees celsius... I don't want to burn my legs...

I'm GenX (b. early 70's), my parents were/are Boomers (b. 1949/50), but somehow Millennials' parents are Boomers too. Families changing caused a lot of this- my parents stayed married, had kids early, Mom stayed home, parents paid for undergrad, retired early but simply. The Millennial upbringing seems to be kids late, Mom worked, kids left with student loans while parents have second homes and travel and new partners. I suppose if my parents had been less focused on family and participated in the party/disco side of the 70's, I'd have been a millennial too.
Wouldnt trust them. I'd follow the hack recently put out that gave you access without needing an account. Only thing you lose is access to their social media related functions if I remember correctly
Now your Meta account can get banned for some reason. I assume the ToS will be very similar. It's a platform, you can say things on it, you can potentially abuse people on it.

There may come a day where the world is utterly broken for the unaugmented, just a confusing sterile landscape camouflaged in QR codes. Getting kicked off the Metaverse will be a terrifying form of exile. But it will all be a private company's decision, so that will make it OK.
i don't understand what else it could mean other than 47% is less than the number projected by analysts

That's a great point, we think of Secoda as _both_ a search and curation tool. The search portion of the tool is accomplished through the no-code integrations. When you connect Snowflake, for example, we extract metadata about the tables in Snowflake such as the columns, descriptions, number of queries run, people who are frequently using that table, etc. All that information becomes searchable in the catalog. After a company integrates all of their data sources, we see that teams leverage the curation capabilities of the product. Editors can add documentation through our documentation editor to provide additional context about the data resources that are discoverable in Secoda. In addition, teams can add shared definitions of metrics, answer questions that are asked by data consumers, and create ad hoc analyses that are also discoverable.
Interesting data but doesnt seem to have the significance I hoped.

> And there’s a practical benefit here too. As the world faces a reckoning with climate change and sustainability, individuals and governments are looking at how they can do better. That’s brought cycling back into focus as a clean, accessible mode of transport – which can have far-reaching implications for the way that cities are built.

People who use bikes/bikeshares rn are early adopters, they probably got an unusually high willingness to deal with bad weather, go longer distances etc. I'd be more interested in data that show how the "average person" responds to this.

Also I'll remind ppl that when they talk about bikes for transport it just wont work for America. Our population is way unhealthy, it isnt a great option.

The fault in this logic, is that rest stops in many places are on large highways and interstate systems, which is nice for travelers but when truck drivers are making long haul deliveries, when they can drive they want to drive, and not stop at rest areas except for required break time.

The real issue comes in when they have to sit in a shipping yard for 10 hours waiting for their cargo to be loaded, or a bay open to be unloaded. This is where the local facilities issue comes in.

And rest stops are effectively useless for local deliver people (ups/fedex/amazon/etc..) because rarely do their routs take them on the roads to make them accessible.

And lastly, the number of public rest stops in the US has plummeted with the increase in gas stations, and state budget cuts.

On top of all this, its just the way the routing, and time constraints on delivers are set up, they don't allow for going off route for 10 to 20 minutes to find and use a public toilet.

The problem is solvable, but it isn't about available facilities, its about being fair to workers and not making using the rest room cost them money, or penalize them in review.
Yes, the quotes are all from the linked articles, one of the event happened in 1911. It's not unheard of that schools also disconnect fire alarms and block fire escapes because students "abuse" those from time to time.

So yeah, maybe one of the quotes is less strong, but the sentiment still stands, that fire exists are not a replacement for main exists, as people tend to go back to where they came from, instead of seeking new exists.
Because if a state goes against this principle then the US might just kick it off the inter-back clearance system (SWIFT), or invade it, or engineer a coup against its government, or a combination of the above.
Yes, there was a time when we didn't need accounts for every piece of hardware we use.

It is a fact of life that companies will impose more and more profit-maximizing inconveniences upon the customer as long as the customer is willing to accept them. It only stops when enough customers push back.
Why is there an expectation that the consumer goods economy will be robust to a once-in-a-100-years global pandemic? It's a nice property to have for sure, and we should plan for it from a public health and governance point of view. But should we expect consumer good production to be robust to such a major event? Yes, some people are seeing sofas take months to come in, and books are taking longer to be produced (there's not enough supply for the books of the latest Nobel winner, for example), but these are not necessarily necessary goods. Food and other necessary ingredients of a normal life seem relatively okay. But I am in a little bubble, like everyone else.

When everyone is going through pain, people don't put too much blame in one person. If every country is losing people to the virus, people seem willing to not punish a government that loses a lot of people. If every company is suffering from supply-chain issues, wall street will not necessarily put special onus on a particular company, saving a company's leadership from embarrassment. That said, certain sectors do seem to be hit - Apple's recent miss vs Microsoft, for example.

You can say about every bug (unless it is literally a bug flying inside the computer where the word comes from) "the system operated exactly as intended, but their intended system design was obviously flawed"

Goal: socialization.

Achievement: kids lying on their beds doomscrolling because the common space in the room is dominated by a massive table with exactly enough room for everybody to bump elbows.
I actually lived in a room remarkably similar to this one year in college. It was marginally bigger than what is pictured, but the space was used far less efficiently (lots of annoying free-standing furniture) so functionally it was probably smaller. Aside from the lack of a window making it awfully hard to wake up in the morning, it was no big deal. It was actually my favorite dorm room I had in college. The single-room-in-a-suite model is amazing.

The big thing was that I had a common room shared with my suite-mates which was large-ish, comfortable, and naturally lit. I spent my time at home there, but it's college so I spent most of my time out of the dorm anyway.

My big concern with this UCSB dorm would be for students who are significantly asocial. For the many who crave an isolated personal space, it could be majorly depressing. I get the idea that the entire goal of the design is to try to get people to not behave that way, but I doubt that will work.

I'd guess this dorm would be a great experience for a very significant majority of students, but basically a torture chamber for an unfortunate minority. Ergo it's probably an extremely bad idea.
