This looks like a great piece of kit.

I’d usually be wary of dropping that much cash on a product from a vendor without a track record.

How well backed / funded are these guys?

I would love to make this argument the next time vaccines are mentioned. Remember vaccines cause autism and turn the frogs gay. Any attempt to correct this using medical jargon or methods is literally out of scope for the average hacker news commenter and should be avoided.
It's definitely full stack; it has endpoints[1] which are just arbitrary API endpoints where you can implement any logic you want (talk to a database, perform conditional logic, etc.).

It may not be a fully-loaded solution like rails, but minimalism can have its own benefits.

Thanks. I'm also looking for a solution that isn't too expensive either. Hexnode seems to be budget friendly. Have you had any experience using it? (Feedback from a fellow customer always helps)

At 10 cents per ad print, that’s only 2000 impressions, around 6 per day. Certainly sounds in the higher side of feasible. If the deal is for $20B, break even is a tenth that though, so there’s a lot of margin for error while still claiming enormous financial benefits.
They shouldn't affect me, or anyone else who can show a bit of mental amplitude. Hospitals are for one thing in many cases not getting nearly as saturated as hysterias have predicted (even though they been have in certain contexts) and secondly, the world's governments, medical institutions and NGOs have had nearly two years to ramp up certain preparations, instead of throwing mass blame onto unvaccinated people as if they were the cause of all ills. The same goes for shortages of medical staff. Again, it's been two. fucking. years.

The same goes for many other industries such as those you refer to, as well as cancelled flights. These are problems caused by irresponsible structural management, not people exercising the basic right of bodily autonomy. As for long COVID, it's still hotly debated how prevalent it is but the numbers are nowhere near enough to justify your own hysterical claim about its importance on a global scale.

Your very dismissal of any nuance and of people who for numerous reasons disagree with mass forced vaccinations and social punishments for those who harbour reasonable doubts about these particular vaccines is also grotesque and childish. Simply referring to those of us who consider this whole range of factors as "idiots" is foolish and arrogant in an absurd way.

Ignorance is blindly, fearfully swallowing a fixed narrative and reducing anything that disagrees with it into simplistic reductions
I also recently(~1 month) purchased one of these, (DIY edition + windows). So far my only complaint is the screen size. I was really wanting a 17" touch screen and a keyboard with a num pad. My first thought when I was opening + working with this was that the whole experience felt like a labor of love.
why are Intel and AMD the only manufacturers

x86-64 is patented (and the earliest CPUs with it are now over 20 years old, so probably expiring soon if not already), but original 32-bit x86 is long out of patent and there are/were quite a few other manufacturers.

Everyone is consuming resources.

Running a household on a poverty budget isn't labor free.

The work it involves is even much like that of a restaurant.
Raw CPU perf obviously favours the M1, but if you're a dev, then a laptop that can take up to 64Gb of commodity RAM & as much fast storage as you can cram into it is pretty compelling.

Compiling LLVM eats a lot of memory for instance. 16Gb is not really enough to take full advantage of the number of CPUs in a modern laptop.

Is this a laptop for everyone? Not necessarily, but for certain classes of users it's manna from heaven.
OK, but it's a different set of skills. Leetcode challenges optimize for finding devs that believe there's One True Way to do things, and that creatively deviating or using a mathematically non-optimal solution for reasons outside of the code itself is Bad and Wrong. If you want to continue delivering a successful product without breaking things those are good things to look for.
It does not surprise me. Search is bread, butter and oxygen for Google. Spending a few billion dollars a year to sustain a revenue of hundreds of billions of dollars seems logical. Not sure right or wrong. But understandable.
I am quite puzzled how are you not good after solving 400 problems. I thought if you can solve about about 50 problems you can clear any faang interview.

I think you are missing the most important point laumars made that is somewhat relevant:

> I’ve done a considerable amount of research on this topic over the last 20 years and for the at least 10 years of it the actual main reason Windows users don’t like Linux is simply because it’s not like Windows. It doesn’t matter how much better Linux might be or how crappy Windows might get, if people are comfortable in one thing then they generally don’t like switching to another thing that behaves differently. And Linux behaves very differently.

Now, I am curious if that research is public anywhere? That's been my gut feel for the last 20 years too, but I've never had any data to prove it either way (provided the methodology for that research stands to scrutiny).

Now back to the point, I agree that Compiz contributed to both attracting and pushing people away from Linux. It exacerbated any stability issues in the graphics drivers, but at the same time, there was a huge presence of all the Compiz-stuff around. I similarly already used Linux (since '98) for stability and hackability on the desktop, and I had no interest in Compiz because of the fragility.

Still, it's obvious from the discussion here that there were people who were both pulled in and pushed out due to Compiz situation. As nebula says themselves, it hasn't really pushed them out, but instead it's the continuing troubles they experience with every yearly attempt to switch to Linux (and sure, their choice of hardware may contribute to it: I've had better experience with Thinkpads than even with Dell XPS 13 preloaded with Ubuntu). Basically, just like you get a very specific model if you want to run Hackintosh, you should look for computer models with decent support to run GNU/Linux on (it's just that there are many more models to choose from that would run great OOB): and don't trust the certification, because that doesn't cover all the things a consumer might care about.
Most modern laptops use DSP to get the speakers to sound the way they do. If you switch that off they have the same ‘flat’ sound described in this review. Wonder if this can be solved in software ?
In your case it appears that Mercedes made the right decision. 400 V DC with for all practical purposes an internal resistance so low that it might as well be zero is about as nasty as it gets. Zero warning until you touch that live terminal and then no way to disconnect if you happened to grip it the wrong way, and when you short it out you're going to be in for a world of hurt.

The earth leakage protection only applies to the charging circuitry primary.

So, even if I don't agree with the principle it looks like for some users this actually applies, which I find somewhat surprising.
that "effectuate the non-compete agreement" is doing some work, it would be one thing if Google said to Apple, we want your guarantee that you will not be entering the search engine market and in return we will give you this - then it is a non-compete agreement - but as it is it is a default search engine agreement.

No idea what (3) regular secret meetings between the executives of both companies; means - but it sure sounds realllly bad and nefarious!

Does grinding for months even work? The point of this post (and others like it) is that you can spend years doing leetcode without getting better. In comparison, I score far below most of my peers on conscientiousness but I find leetcode style problems easy. I'm a terrible hire in lots of roles because most companies' problems are boring. I have a history of getting bored and quitting. But I sail through these interviews.

If conscientiousness is what companies are going for, I think they're still interviewing wrong.
I have a tangentially related issue. It's completely irrational, but I can't shake it. Sometimes when writing code, I need to add a block that looks a lot like an existing one, so I'll copy it and paste just below. (Yes, I know, DRY. Sue me :)

The irrational part comes in when it's time for me to make the tweaks. Maybe I'm working on a yaml config file, and I need to specify two objects that are mostly the same, with minor changes to one of them.

I'll make sure I'm working on "the copy", and not "the original". So, let's say I start with this:

- author: E. Hemingway
title: The Old Man and the Sea
medium: hardcover
edition: 1
published: 1952

And the project manager says I need to add the second edition paperback to the list. I'll find that block, copy the whole thing, and *then make sure I don't disturb the "original":

- author: E. Hemingway
title: The Old Man and the Sea
medium: hardcover
edition: 1
published: 1952
- author: E. Hemingway
title: The Old Man and the Sea
medium: trade
edition: 2
published: 1953

Basically, I've internalized that my bits have a color[1].

Essentially this.

Scrum is rarely the problem in a team without nontechnical managers.

The issue is that this rarely occurs.
I was in the market for a new laptop and right now I just could not find anything that would beat the M1 MacBooks on a CPU-battery-price combination, especially if you're OK 16GB of RAM - it gets a bit more competitive if you're looking at 32GB models, but even if you can compete on CPU and memory you loose hard on battery life.

I just couldn't bring myself to use macOS daily, so I punted the laptop change to next year. I wish Apple would just sell their hardware like anyone else, working with OS vendors to get it supported.
Labor costs are probably the major reason why US chip firms went fabless in the past few decades. Chip production in the lower 48 makes rational sense for national security but not necessarily economic sense. The higher labor costs will be passed through to the supply chain ultimately to spendthrift consumers.

Note the comparison to Wall Street investment banking culture, where you work 14+ hrs a day 7 days a week (and you wanted to).

I’m a solo dev running a few large, profitable websites, and the one running Rails has simply not been feasible to update recently with all the breakage it brings. Especially Webpacker is a major pain and I regret going down that path. Active storage has been another (lesser) pain point.
For how expensive the US is. No they don't have enough. (And yes, on top of it they are likely not the best in the mass transit game. As it's simply not a priority in the US anywhere else either.)

So, from the OP NYT article, Covid is causing the schools and student learning to suffer.

I question if the suffering is necessary:

For Covid, I'm old enough to be at risk of death if I got Covid, but I've had both shots of the Moderna vaccine and also its booster. I may be wrong, but with these shots I f'get about Covid -- I assume I can't get it or transmit it. Again I would hope that others would do the same. Again I may be wrong but I assume that then we could all f'get about Covid, masks, mandates, lock downs, closings, etc. at work, in restaurants, airplanes, schools, etc.

But, for education, hmm .... Dad was pretty good at that, got about the best Master's in education available when he was in college. Then one of his points was that could get a good education in a one room school house with all grades in the one room with just one teacher.

One of the lessons I got from a lot of years in school and some years of teaching is "Learning is not a spectator sport". That is, learning happens mostly from work between the ears of the learner.

To me, these are very special, especially good, times for learning -- we have the Internet. Darned near anything anyone might want to learn is on the Internet as text or videos, including in organized full courses.

I know a family with three kids, 10, 7, and 2. They go to a private school, three short days a week and then study at home. It appears that Covid has not hurt their education and that they are doing fine. At the school, each mother volunteers one day a month. Since there are only about 12 school days a month, it takes only 12 students to have a mother there each school day.

I would hope that parents could do well with their kids educations through (a) reading and writing essays, (b) math through graphing data, compound interest, exponententials, areas, and volumes, (c) other topics such as literature, geography, history, music, etc.

Then somewhere about age 10-12, the kids should be able to do well learning, with some guidance and standardized testing, essentially on their own from materials on the Internet or, in some cases, from books. Uh, some kids, even in some of the worst schools, somehow do really well learning basketball, baseball, football, soccer, auto mechanics, and more -- properly motivated they should also be able to learn chemistry, biology, calculus, physics, computer programming, etc.
As an immigrant myself it seemed wild that I could work in the USA, and send money back to my country. It felt like a capital drain problem the USA blindsided on.

Then I realized the economic gain from labour made the whole deal very worth it for the USA. The whole idea of a workforce is that it produces more value than it costs. Although I could take the money, that generated value was staying in the USA [1]. Especially for high-skilled industries where the bottleneck to growth might be hiring, this was very much worth it for them.

[1]: This plus, of course, the chunk of capital the USA keeps as taxes.
It's quite weird seeing people talk like this here. Most of the users here, who probably work at IT companies and startups that never made money until now, never will make money, or needed to burn 10 years through investors money, that are basically the pensions of the people you mock here, come and talk about adjust or die and time to find something different to work on, if you're not profitable.

> I think the basic argument is "Apple might have created a competing search engine business, but Google paid them not to

That's the feeling I got. I mean if this was the case, then Apple could be sued by Google for extortion - "pay us or we'll build a competitor". This lawsuit makes no sense.
Some societies make it easier for people to have good outcomes and some make it harder. Pretending it is not so makes it impossible to fix root causes of issues.
> I don't think that having better margins than the competitors says anything about being a monopoly.

> Apple's large margins are merely an opportunity that no one was able to fetch.

In a functioning free market, competitors would have picked up the slack long ago (iPhone is 14 years old now), and cashed in on those high profit margins too.

Now, you can choose to believe that literally every multi billion dollar tech company in the world is so stupid and incompetent as to be unable to replicate Apple's "premium user experience" to capture similar profit margins, or you can look for simpler explanations, that inevitably generalize as anti-competitive practices.

That doesn't deny the popularity of Apple's products, by the way. Believe it or not they can be both genuinely popular and monopolistic / anti-competitive, with both of those factors contributing to insanely above-market profit margins.

"You can buy LG" just shows that you don't understand the distinction between concentrated market power power, anti competitive business practices, and actual monopoly, nor the fact that antitrust regulations do not require their target to be an actual monopoly with zero competitors available for sale (and for good reason).

> They are viable, in fact, many reviewers and techies say that Samsung/Google/LG/Whatever are much better than Apple

Bing and DDG are also available and viable, and "[some] techies say" that they're better than Google. So what. This metric is utterly irrelevant.
The allegation is these companies are not competing with each other, they are working together. This includes working together to prevent competitors making their own devices. There are very limited alternatives if you want to avoid Google and Apple completely.

I'm not familiar with the Eurovision show you mention, so not sure of the relevance.

Yes, since I use it about 8 hours a day for a couple years, the cost per hour is pretty low and the better screen, keyboard and speed is worth it.

A preprint, but included because it is specifically for young men. 6x more likely to get myocarditis from COVID than vaccine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34341797/

There are now a multitude of studies indicating the prevelance of myocarditis from COVID 19. Many of which are broken down by age, so you can see how much higher the prevelance is vs vaccine side effects.

We have a pretty good idea of how bad the myocarditis issue for COVID is because we had a good long time without a vaccine. There were very large increases in myocarditis in 2020 vs 2019.

The real problem is that people like yourself jump to the first contradictory study you can find and tout it as proof or simply muddy the water from what many of the experts are saying. The reality on this particular issue is that quite a bit of research has already been done. A quick search will pull up multiple studies on myocarditis rates with covid, most of which have age breakdowns.

That's a surprisingly disparaging and unsupported reply (but I welcome the discussion).

You may want to review your comments and question whether they're a fair response to what I've written. I also wonder why you find it necessary to be so adamant and pejorative. You clearly have a strong negative bias on this issue (without any demonstrable knowledge on the topic).
