They were uncomfortable giving ebay the ability to wire their money into their checking account out of fear that ebay would then later take money directly from their bank account, not even considering that if ebay did anything fraudulent their banks and the federal government (assuming they are American) would have their backs in reclaiming the money.
If Poland gets attacked over this, and NATO doesn't step in, then that's the end of NATO.

This is a really smart move to finally solidify the power of NATO - or get rid of it if it doesn't actually have that power.

Seems like for things that are: 1. Perfectly parallel 2. Not accelerated by some of the other stuff that's on the Apple Silicon SoC's ...it will be a toss-up.

Threadripper 3990X get about 25k in Geekbench Multicore [1]

M1 Max gets about 12.5k in Geekbench Multicore, so pretty much exactly half [2]

Obviously different tasks will have _vastly_ different performance profiles. For example it's likely that the M1 Ultra will blow the Threadripper out of the water for video stuff, whereas Threadripper is likely to win certain types of compiling.

There's also the upcoming 5995WX which will be even faster: [3]

I wonder how they solved the problem with the NATO MIGs having completely different systems than the Ukrainian air force? They must have either magically retrofitted the MIGs back with old Soviet tech, or they're transferring more than just jets to Ukraine.
Having not seen benchmarks, I would imagine that claimed memory bandwidth of ~800 GB/s vs Threadripper's claimed ~166 GB/s would make a significant difference for a number of real-world workloads.
"Apple’s innovative packaging architecture that interconnects the die of two M1 Max chips to create a system on a chip (SoC)"

Did they get their terminology confused? Later it says "By connecting two M1 Max die with our UltraFusion packaging architecture [...]" which also sounds like it's a MCM and not a SoC.
Germany isn't going to take it back. It already had the chance, I believe, during the 1990s in exchange for a large sum of money but refused. Germany's eastern boundaries are formally set by treaty. Germany does not want jokes about the "return of German revanchism" and "East Prussia". More seriously, Germany would not want to absorb so many Russian speakers.

A small, Russian-speaking nation under EU's influence (and presumably future EU member) would be a good thing for the EU, to show off to the world (and specifically to Russia, as a positive example).
Since when has "I'm pregnant" been a socially-acceptable cue to start ranting about your views on abortion in either direction?
To be fair, piracy was always illegal - it didn't stop it.
In my experience, the payment system is pretty reasonable. And I get the funds faster directly from eBay than going eBay -> PayPal -> bank.

PayPal would ultimately require your checking account information too, assuming that you want the funds to end up there. I'm not sure why eBay having that information poses any more of a problem than PayPal having it does.

And this payment delay is likely due to having to wait for credit card payments to process and settle. I don't think eBay is doing anything nefarious, here.

Lastly -- if you are concerned about banking info being disclosed, or eBay maybe messing something up and taking money, you could set up a separate checking account that you only use to hook up to online places like Coinbase, PayPal, Venmo, eBay, etc. that you use as a proxy to transfer into your "real" checking account.
Doesn't have to though. A Threadripper 3990X uses barrels of electricity, generates plenty of heat, comes with no GPU, has worse single-threaded performance, and still costs $4000 by itself without any of the parts needed to make it actually work.
If the cost of a safe, stable, and efficient binary is just somewhat longer compile times, then I'd consider the cost worth it.
Hi!

As a EU citizen who spent weeks sending GDPR requests back and worth with several data brokers I know just what a pain it is to get some data deleted. Even if it was only "trivial" stuff like things I have shopped for online (I always requested the data they had before requesting that they delete it) it was a laborious process.

I have two questions for you guys:

1) As a EU citizen do I benefit from signing up to your site or are the data brokers you are targeting focused on US citizens?

2) Why the monthly recurring fee? I would gladly make a higher one off payment every now and then for the removal of my data. Or is it monthly because you are keeping track if any of my data shows up at some point and then immediately remove it?
I really hope it won't. Let's cherish the high quality comments of HN. Once this comment section becomes a karma-fed race to the bottom driven by who can make the most memeable jokes, it will never recover. Case in point: Reddit.

Even if/when they do introduce usb-c on iPhones, it will start with the high end models not the SE. The regular iPad doesn't have usb-c either.
So I don't have to use a dongle for a second screen. They break, come loose, and sometimes don't work with Apple equipment.
Review: Software Design for Flexibility
I was one of the people who could never get the damn thing to work right. And re-training it a few times a year just to get it back up to a ~50% success rate, because of humidity changes, was no fun. Eventually I just started using a code again, since I'd end up there more often than not anyway. But it seems like it was probably awesome for people who didn't have trouble with it.
A terabyte of dead-slow and flaky SSD costs a hundred bucks, sure. But it doesn't matter much because, in the kinds of professional workflows this machine is targeting, local storage is more like swap space than anything. It needs to be fast more than it needs to be big.
This is pretty true. While people who buy racks consider vertical improvements they tend to think laterally and how easy is it to expand (aka how cheap is the +1 server)
I know a lot of folks in my field side by the stance that everything is political, even code.

Twitter isn't code. Why would you expect someone to limit what they publish to code topics just because you want to limit what you read to just code things? Their Twitter account is their domain. There's no reason why someone shouldn't tweet about code and other stuff if they want to.

I honestly have no idea why people think they should have any say over what someone tweets, and even suggest that people are wrong to tweet the way they do. That level of entitlement is baffling.

Please don't follow me on Twitter. You'll hate my account.
However this decision does mean Apple can't produce monitors with more than about 200 PPI without the text being too small (at 200%). i.e. they can't go beyond 5K at 27".

Which is a shame, you can use 8K monitors with Windows at e.g. 300% just fine.
Ramstein is in Germany, not Poland.
I find this thought of mine hard to explain to people because obviously no one including me wants WW3 and likely annihilation of our species. However, please note that in a hypothetical future where NATO doesn't even protect NATO soil (e.g. Poland) there will be no reason for Russia not to invade Baltic States, Poland, Romania etc. This effectively makes NATO non-existent and gives all the leverage and power to Russia. I understand this is a very sensitive issue, but from this perspective I believe NATO should immediately retaliate if Russia even dares to attack Poland.
As more developers move to ARM architecture by buying Macbooks (I did it last year the first time in my life), ARM cloud will grow very fast, and Apple needs growth, so they can't afford not to do it in a few years (probably with M2 architecture they are already thinking of it). Regarding the exact timeline: I don't know :)
it sucks w/ trackpad too tho! it's just totally breaks any physicality to scrolling

it's insane to me that they keep using this
I don't know. I definitely think some people would just mass broadcast to everyone.

Using the example above, there's nothing stopping that person from bringing their whole self to board game night. They're choosing to avoid certain topics with a certain group of people, so I would expect some of that behavior to cary over to social media.

If I think about something like the "close friends" feature on instagram, I have some friends who just share way too much with everyone, but I've got others who use that feature pretty heavily.
They could have made it 90hz then
This.

I don’t care if a laptop is a tad thicker, or the aesthetics would allow the device to sit in a museum - Ive helped make them desireable objects, the iPhone provided the scale and momentum and Apple silicon in macs at last allows for focus on actual usability. This set of kit will pave the way for a revolution in how we think about computing.

Indeed, Bravo!
In US that means routing number and account number. Having these two enables anybody to push or pull any amount of money (or at least try to pull, based on availability). Its crazy, companies promise that they will not pull more than asked, but sometimes coding error causes big problems, the one I remember etsy pulling thousands instead of 10s, because of a decimal point error, so pulling like 1486 instead of 14.86.
Ahhh, reminiscent of the G4 Desktop Supercomputer ..

You say this as a joke, but after seeing this phone my wife decided to buy an android phone. She wants a 3.5mm jack.

She has been holding out for apple to change their mind and give her an update path from her 6s.
>""banning a media outlet that repeatedly spreads lies"

If I had the power, I would absolutely do this! But I suspect your list of media outlets that spread lies repeatedly is quite different from my own. Would you still support my power to censor as such?

Apparently Mark Twain never said it.

If the quote stated "If you are ignorant on a topic it's better not to discuss it" that would be advise. (Though less quippy).

But I read the quote as essentially saying:

"You are so incredibly stupid you should never, ever attempt to speak to another human being ever again, on any conceivable subject".

But maybe some people don't take it that way.
I have a different problem with Twitter: the mechanics of using it keep getting worse. Once upon a time you could read Twitter without logging in. This meant that one could communicate via Twitter to anyone without much friction. Now Twitter is barely functional logged out, and even making an account just to read Twitter is a hassle: you need to give an email address and then get persistent nagged. Twitter wants verification and phone number, it sends spam (I mean helpful links to content), and it generally tries to drive engagement in a way that drives away users.

In short, people who want to have readers want a platform that makes reading easy. Twitter is no longer that platform.
This is a very interesting comment, but this statement is concerning: "Corporations are supposed to be automata that optimize an objective function."

Of course, from the perspective of neoclassical economics, it is true, and of course, there are obligations to shareholders. But generally, I think it is great that corporations are not automata that optimize an objective function. Corporations are social organizations, and I think it roughly holds that the harder the problem is that a corporation is solving for some business purpose, the more space it needs to give for social aspects. It's not that all of management thinks about profit optimization from morning to evening.
This looks very useful. Is it available in the US only or in other countries as well?
& $.10 per KwH, many residences are often higher but professional operations are closer to $.03 per KwH or sometimes even zero or negative

also note that mining calculator they used assumes 2 Ether per block paid to miners

In Ethereum it can be much much higher because people pay to use that blockchain. Mining can be insanely profitable and I’m not aware of any calculator that shows it. Everyone is operating on bad data. A cursory look right now shows latest blocks having 2.52 Ether in them, which is 26% greater yield.

Block 14348267 a few minutes ago had 4.83 Ether, 140% greater yield

There have been prolonged periods of time, weeks and months, where block rewards were 6-9 Ether.

Miners were raking it all in while the calculators said “2 Ether”

All this to say it could probably make $20-30 a month.

It's a fantastic chip but that wasn't the question. I love my M1 Max and I love my Threadripper workstation, each has their own strengths and that's alright.

Let us know when Apple starts a cloud business.
It's very un-Jonny Ive. So it might actually be functional.
Also of note is that half of the Mac Studio's case is dedicated to cooling. Up to this point, all M1 Max benchmarks are within laptops while all Threadripper benchmarks are in desktops. The M1 Max in the Mac Studio will probably perform better than expected.
Great news. I use an LG ultrawide but it took three LGs to find one that MacOS could reliably detect with a supported resolution. It was a ridiculously complicated and painful process.

I had a 2014 RMBP with the Thunderbolt monitor and Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. Everything “just worked”. I never had any issues. I just spent my time working instead of fighting with my workstation. It was glorious.

Glad to see Apple back to form here. I’m willing to pay the premium for a complete solution.
RT Latin America. It has been over 10 days since the invasion of Ukraine started, but RT is still not reporting this. They are still talking about Krimea, the separatist states, imperialism, etc.

Also, the bitcoin topic coverage is rather sensationalistic.

I can't feel respect for anybody who speaks in favor of Nicolas Maduro, or Vladimir Putin. RT is in that cathegory.
That doesn't really address OP's question. There is still a point where the goal of the sanctions is not worth the harm they cause to people.
Murders have been on the rise since 2014 or so
I haven't yet seen screens with USB-C support that have refresh rates higher than 60hz, unfortunately.
My point is that things are pretty bad in North Korea (they used to have famines not long ago).

Yet, that didn't make us ease sanctions significantly. Did it?

My point being: things can probably get very bad in Russia before we ease sanctions due to humanitarian concerns.

Yes, it's a tragedy. Hopefully, all of this ends before it gets that far.
How do they know what people are searching? I've never seen an api for that
How long did it take you to check the 'Optimize Storage' box?
So, for starters, they explicitly say that sanctions guide their actions, and they're also doing things in addition. As was already explained, it's the obvious play - why would you continue to pursue business in Russia right now? How are you going to get paid?

Second, "social outrage machine" is a pretty ridiculous characterization. You're painting this as if it's some Twitter mob upset about a minor grievance as opposed to the reality that a hostile country is committing war crimes.
What price is preventing WW3 worth?

I would say any price, as after WW3 civilization as we know it, if not all of humanity will perish.

It is WW3 that we are edging towards in this war over NATO membership.
I've been saying 4x M1 Max is not a thing and never will be a thing ever since the week I got my M1 Max and saw that the IRQ controller was only instantiated to support 2 dies, but everyone kept parroting that nonsense the Bloomberg reporter said about a 4-die version regardless...

Turns out I was right.

The Mac Pro chip will be a different thing/die.
Within LGBTQ communities there are mass disagreements. Should women-only spaces include trans people? Is the word "transsexual" a valid identity even when self chosen?

There are even Ls and Gs who think Bs are "faking it".

The trick is that it's not a boolean question. Someone can be gay and anti-trans and this is trivially true.
What they definitely won't care is Apple hardware at Apple prices, specially outside first world countries.
He probably means ACH access which can also be used for withdrawals instead of just deposits. Its not like writing and accepting a check or money order, which is generally only one-way. While there are some limits on this for "direct deposit" (can not withdraw more than was deposited, and there's a 5 day limit, so its functionally equivalent to bouncing a check but without the legal penalties), not all access to set to strictly "direct deposit". I don't know what eBay is doing but its possible to get authorization for both "direct deposits" and "withdrawals". ACH withdrawal is useful for things like Coinbase or PayPal where you want to pay electronically and trust is too low to risk credit card chargebacks.
If you buy a Mac for gaming, you're going to have a bad time. Look at the GFXBench 5.0 benchmark. The first graph on the page.
I think your comment and the parent's comment can be in agreement if you think about people in your social media as now sharing an office with you. You get to be stuck in a room with them for eight hours a day while they share their personal drama, monger gossip, and boast about their work accomplishments.
Ever wondered how that was even possible? Like how bad must the security be for bunch of unarmed random civilians to enter and have access to rather important location? Almost seems like manufactured. Or lot of people should be fired for incompetence...

That's what people used to say about Apple doing CPUs in-house.
> NATO shooting down Russian planes is war between nuclear powers. This isn't Libya. This isn't the West being afraid, it's the West acting like adults.

That is the West being afraid, specifically of Russian escalation. They're so afraid, they've pretty much explicitly told Russia it can do whatever it wants.

Could the mods please consider grouping up all these announcement threads? We really don't need separate ones for every individual thing. Looking at the guidelines as well, these are more promotional and marketing in nature than something that "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
They used to be quick and smooth on the desktop, too. But it looks like Apple has been taken over by designers in the name only.
There are some issues where it seems impossible to hold a non-offensive belief. You can't support abortion or oppose abortion or claim abortion is unimportant without genuinely hurting a lot of people's feelings. (I wouldn't deny that you can avoid being offensive by simply avoiding all controversial issues, and in some contexts that's a perfectly reasonable approach.)
You think the vast majority of Americans agree on abortion? I'm pretty sure that, no, they do not. The division is real, not just a political strategy.
8GB RAM is fine as long as you don't try running multiple VMs or lots of docker containers. macOS is surprisingly good at dealing with limited RAM thanks to memory compression.

The small SSD is the bigger issue. If you use it as your main machine you will fill it up quickly and people then start doing stupid things like putting their Photos library on a USB stick or on an SD card, and that's just asking for trouble.
>Because Quebec is powered by hydro and doesn't need oil and doesn't want the pipeline going east because they sell power.

Quebec uses tons of oil every day, whenever they fill up their cars. Most of it comes from Saudi Arabia, brought into the Irving Refinery in New Brunswick. Irving would use Canadian oil if they could get it.
It's a little bigger, but thinner, right? I also went 1st gen SE for 5 years, and am hoping my 13 mini lasts 5 as well (with a battery replacement at some point), but I drop this phone way more than my SE. I think the edges are slipperier.

Are you upset that you think Apple is going to stop making something that you forgot they made, except there is absolutely 0 evidence that they will stop making it?
We know for a fact that they are going to release a new Apple Silicon based Mac Pro.
We knew Mac Pro would be the last thing they move over to Apple Silicon.
Apple even gave a timeline when they first launched M1, and so far it seems to be on track.

Apple has been extremely pragmatic lately, backtracking on objectively bad decisions around everything from keyboards and ports to form factors.
I'm just confused. I feel like I'm having a conversation with a cnn text generator. Neither half makes much sense, and the latter half isn't contextually relevant.

Point to the "some in this forum were predicting Ruble going to 0 within a day". I don't buy it for a second. Or, I'm sure someone could have said it, but that too would be ridiculous. And, what is your point? Like, you said that the USD received a "death blow", which is bonkers. It makes zero sense in the global scale of things. And you can verify all of it. The index has had no short term negative effect, and the longer trend is still rising. That was the discussion. Some kind of ridiculous talking point about the dollar being unstable. I was keen to hear your thoughts regardless.

What I instead get is impressively, a complete board of geopolitics bullshit-bingo in a couple of sentences:

"civilizational context", "du jour posits a “Thucydides‘s Trap”", "ready and applicable historic paradigms", "global order", "‘Three Kingdoms’ period of Chinese history", "complex and subtle calculus for the Chinese leadership"

What on earth are you talking about? From your post history, it seemed like you were very interested in Russian economy, and Putin for that matter. Which is why I mentioned the Ruble. As for the other ramblings, if it wasn't auto generated, I don't know how that is relevant to anything. But, you do you.
It’s really that hard if you care about not getting hacked with 1days all the time.
Not to mention, you can't even express this thought on twitter. Way too many characters.

I think the character limit creates a blunt form of communication that leads to this toxic environment. It is practically designed to create misunderstandings and dismissive short responses to those misunderstandings.
Texas just unveiled a law that proposes putting parents who support their children's gender transition in jail for child abuse.

That means one side thinks the other side is a child abuser, and the other side thinks that bigots are going to throw them in prison for being a supportive parent.

This is not something you can be "polite" about.
Then the rates you have seen are incorrect, old, or the result of special circumstances.
Yes, my point is that the actual actions are to avoid the scenario I laid out.
