The key of G (G,C,D) is really easy to play on guitar and so is the key of C (C,F,G). A lot of beginning guitarists struggle with an F if you play it as a barre chord on the first fret of the low E string. My favorite option for playing an F is to play an FMaj7 using just the D (3), G (2), B (1) and e (open) strings which is an open chord. If you ask me to play an F chord that's what I'm going to play. I've also heard it referred to as the "rock 'n roll" F.

But, why not?
You’re right, Seattle is much more livable for families. My perspective is from SF, and it adopts similar policies as Seattle (which is why I unfairly lumped the two together) but SF has implemented them with much worse effect. I think it’s partly because SF is more compressed and usually lacks clear boundaries between neighborhoods that are good for families and those that aren’t, with a couple exceptions (e.g. Noe Valley).
> sounds remarkably unlikely and irrational. If China touched the US mainland it would mean immediate full-scale war, the opposite should be assumed.

Agree landing marines is aggressive. But missiles strikes should be assumed.

China would be the aggressor. And the things being attacked would be directly militarily relevant. If China retaliated by hitting Guam, I would call that fair play. (Hawai’i, for historical reasons, would be a stupid thing to hit.)
Yeah, they'd likely be best used as "cruise ships in the sky" where they can take advantage of large swaths of empty space (you could have ballrooms in a zeppelin pretty easily as they wouldn't weigh much) and the speed wouldn't be a huge issue.

And you'd likely have to make them out of something other than metal, and it would vent hydrogen most of time.
I'm no fan of the Taliban, but I'm not a big fan of the US trying to control other countries either. But I am a fan of regular Afghani people being able to communicate.

He's the thing with these services: if they're controlled by a single government with the intend of using them as leverage over others, that means that at some point they're going to be denied to the people. I would strongly prefer redundancy in such systems to increase their reliability.

Take GPS, for example. The US controls it, and at least initially, their goal was to be able to reduce the accuracy of GPS for other parties. Europe has its own competing Galileo satellites to increase reliability for ordinary citizens. I'm strongly in favour of that. I don't see military applications as a higher purpose than civilian use.
Your database technology is interesting but has the problem that there is a legitimate use case for a company having access to at least some of the data on its servers. It is impossible to optimize a service without transparency into what it is providing and which of those results are useful. Companies spend a good deal of time and effort, arguably even over-optimizing for this, but many applications which don't do it at all are crap. Any product based on this technology lacks the data to do any form of recommendations and most services these days consider recommendations an essential component.

The power imbalance of school bullying usually solves itself with age (like in a year or two).

it's good if that's the worst people usually suffer.

Never said it's good in absolute.
I have no reason to assume Tesla encouraged more people to become car owners. That would be quite the expensive status symbol for a non-car owner to take up. And those who own a gasoline-powered car buying a Tesla as a second vehicle would still reduce usage of the first vehicle.

So assuming that most of those two million sales weren't in lieue of the sale, or at least use, of gasoline powered cars, doesn't seem reasonable to me.

But let's be extremely conservative in our praise of Tesla, and say that the company took one million gasoline powered cars off the road and replaced them with electric cars. That is quite the accomplishment if you accept the premise that electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered ones for reducing the impact on climate.

I'm sure it varies wildly by place. You've got places where the rules are taken very seriously and places where the police chief is the mayor and has access to all the national law enforcement DBs with basically no oversight.

Given that policing is rife with various legal and ethical abuses in service of consolidating power and exerting control, it's hard for me to believe that there aren't places where police have deep access to government data on citizens.
> We often have 10 conflicts between PR admission and approval.

I don't think a devops solution can remove those conflicts. At least not all of them.

If you have devs in the same hot-spots of the code, you're going to get conflicts. Maybe refactoring can address some of this core issue.
My understanding is that courts and regulators give board members a lot of deference on their decisions, as long as they are well considered and not obviously ridiculous.

It's perfectly fine for a board to say that the legal and reputational risks far outweigh the benefits of lacing burgers with cocaine.

Most decisions, such as lobbying, involve complicated calculous and don't have a simple way to verify the ROI. The board can defend most positions (from no lobbying to lots of lobbying) by arguing that they believe it's the right decision based on their experience, judgement, and analysis of the situation; probably with some written analysis defending whatever their decision was at the time.
Those are making a comeback.

In January, DARPA successfully launched a Dynetics’ X-61A Gremlin UAV from the bay of a Lockheed Martin C-130A cargo aircraft. The program is aiming to demonstrate the efficacy of low-cost combat-capable drones that can be both deployed and recovered from cargo planes. DARPA envisions using cargo planes like the C-130 to deploy these drones while still outside of enemy air defenses; allowing the drones to go on and engage targets before returning to the airspace around the “mother ship” to be recaptured and carried home for service or repairs.

Does it matter if environmental concern was the true reason? I’m fairly certain it does make a significant difference. And, FWIW, Apple has always been interested in making money. The environmental concern is rather new, and coincides with this decision. It may not have been the only reason, but may well have been the change that flipped the decision.
Who cares if it’s not profitable? Who’s trying to onshore chips because it’s cheaper?

I was looking at SFF cases, so I keep an eye open for lesser-known ones. I was willing to add another to the list of contenders, but I just don't get why that site asks for a password, and shows only one image of something that they're trying to sell.

I get that it's limited-run stuff, but why would they hide information about their product? Visiting their website is pretty much worthless if they only sell in batches, and don't allow access between batches.
It's actually Apple's reaction to a unionization effort.. I forget which one but I think it was in 2014.

At that time, Genius Bar employees were a relatively skilled workforce, and couldn't be immediately replaced because they needed months of training to be function, and years of experience to be really successful. That meant they had actual negotiation power with the store, and with corporate.

Ever since then Apple has been pushing to make the Genius position lower skilled and easier to replace. Genius discretion and knowledge has been replaced with flow charts on iPads, and a reduction in the amount of genius-bar serviceable parts in the devices.

Acquired did a podcast deep dive in TSMC history which supports your argument — they’ve arrive at those yields from just a massive set of iterations. I had a lot more respect to the art + science aspect of chip manufacturing the more I learn about fabs, having originally thought it was a basic recipe easily replicated.

It absolutely replaces an ops team for me. Well, to be fair I end up doing a small amount of ops by monitoring things but for the most part, everything I used to have to manage for scaling and deployment is handled automatically by some config files in a .aws folder in my repos now.
It wasn't razor edge in 2009, when TSMC was running a 40% utilization rate. Forecasting is hard, and when you have in recent experience a massive glut it makes companies conservative about demand forecasts and investments.

It is hard to say one couldn't see this coming. Of the few features left in Server, the only one I remained interested in was Profile Manager, and that hasn't worked right for a bit now. I'm fine with an Apple that wants to do hardware and operating systems more than software, but I wish they'd make Profile Manager-like features more available for regular people, not just Education or Business users. It would be infinitely useful to have such features for iPhones of family members who aren't so good with tech and could use a heavier hand in making sure the device is up to date and findable when lost. But I digress. I'm glad it's just ending, even if it's barely a surprise.
My unfounded theory: As with most miscommunication and conflict, the 'conflict' between 'dad' joke tellers and youthful audience is because the two parties are using the same thing (jokes) for different purposes. To describe people very, very generally:

'Youth' are displaying their social capacity - their humor, their communication ability, their ability to navigate social situations, their ability to play, etc. They are trying to show how clever they can be in order to attract others, and maybe due to living in competitive social situations (school). The level of funny and socially cleverness is the whole point. The audience is trying to find fault, to a degree.

'Dads' and older adults of all types are trying to bond and model loving behavior, especially with the youth with whom the older adults are rarely competing. The audience is presumed to be trying to bond too - they are trying to find the love and enjoyment. A dumb joke adds to the humor, because now the teller becomes a target of laughter, and models vulnerability and trust.

When the 'dad' tells a dumb joke, the two parties understand it completely differently. One thinks or says, 'Oh my god, that's so embarrassing!'. The other thinks, 'Yes, you get it! :D'
> hot air

Air at 175C has about 40% the lifting power as the same volume of helium (or hydrogen). That is very hot, and requires a lot of energy to sustain. Lower temperatures will reduce the lifting power.

That's why thermal airships (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_airship) are very uncommon, the lift inefficiency means the structural weight doesn't scale, and the cross-section makes them very hard drive and control.

Let me take a moment and point out, unless your using hardware from < 2005 or so, or one of the rare devices running a custom firmware you literally are using UEFI when you think your booting in BIOS mode.

Others have pointed out that the CSM is no longer being shipped. The CSM is the "Compatibility Support Module" and its a UEFI shim driver that adds the legacy bios INTx operations to a UEFI implementation.

So, most people booting in BIOS mode on hardware built in the past 15 years or so are actually running UEFI with an extra shim.

On the other hand, if China assumes control of Taiwan and TSMC with it, that need not have any impact on the rest of the world. Rather, it would provide a strong financial incentive not to push back as hard on China as we have on Russia.

In other words, part of the desire to onshore chip fabrication (and other manufacturing) is in part so we can sanction China harder if need be. Dependence on TSMC weakens our resolve to defend Taiwan for political reasons, it doesn't strengthen it.
Not if the song contains any modulations, secondary dominants, borrowed chords, etc. It's not uncommon.

this is an important point. There are other providers who offer programatic creation of bank accounts, payments, etc. But all existing solutions wrap a bank, who then wrap middleware providers and core systems. When you work with Column, you're working with only Column. This has implications for cost (fewer people taking a slice of the pie), performance/usability/experience (modern, tightly integrated systems), and development velocity (fewer players in the game of Telephone). Column collapses the layers of the financial services stack and exposes this functionality via API.
Strongly depends on the hardware. Also, simply buy preinstalled Linux like I did.

It did fill a gap for a while unmet by a lot of services that we take for granted now. A Mac Mini with macOS Server to host email, calendar sharing, file sharing, and Time Machine backups went a long way towards meeting a small office's IT needs. It's mostly supplanted by things like Google Workspace, Office 365, Dropbox, and proper MDM solutions these days, but wasn't a bad choice up through maybe 2014 depending on the situation.

Thank you for that! This seems to be exactly targeting the problem i described!
The lithography machines and factories are prohibitively expensive, it can take years of production to break even, if you over build you may just end up in the red. Additionally the fabs have a limited lifespan when they are cutting edge and able to produce premium chips.

If they were doing ok-but-not-great after 1 month, I would agree. But their numbers were through the floor, they basically didn't get anybody to join. And it's important that for any media product, the first month is your biggest period of growth, after your biggest launch and marketing push, and before any kind of attrition has set in. If you can't grow your media streaming service in your first month, you're never growing.
macOS server was a GUI app that you install from the App Store on regular macOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-server/id883878097?mt=12

10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the last version where they sold a separate more expensive server edition of the OS.

As for server hardware, I have to imagine the 3rd party 1U Mac Mini rack enclosures are already more popular than Apple's official rack mount Pro. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/rackmacmini.html

Use case for datacenter Macs is basically just as build servers for Mac and iOS projects, anything else there's not much justification for the hardware cost.
Second this one. Absolutely amazing listen, especially if you grew up thinking hunters just go around shooting anything that moves, which admittedly, I did.

Zeppelins still fly out of Friedrichshafen, their original home!
