Referring to their products as a proper noun is an old Jobs-ism that he intentionally did. I'm pretty sure it goes all the way back to the original Macintosh, that he wanted to be referred to as just "Macintosh" in all the marketing material, and his on-stage announcement.
> If you are morally responsible for the child's death, you are morally responsible for basically every evil in the world right now

No, you are morally responsible for every evil happening right in front of you that you could immediately change with little risk to yourself.

For instance if you can't swim and the child is in the middle of the pond, I'd argue you aren't responsible because the risk is too great to yourself.

In fact due to the danger of drowning people pulling you under, I'd argue unless the child is in water shallow enough for you to stand in it's not your moral responsibility to save them.

Though in the situation, I'd probably feel compelled to save them anyway.
just a lil economic anxiety eh

What is the value of ethical and moral intuitions that can't be applied to real-world situations?
I think a lot of people are put off by the fact that the FBI took the time to make this instead of doing more important duties. The app seems to have good intentions, but its execution needs work, so there's not much benefit.
I think thier point was even if you registered your kids fingerprints with the police they are not going to go around to every kid in all the dinners checking fingerprints to compare to.
You have pretty good support except for the GPU at this point (admittedly I'm waiting for this until I install it on my machine). They've had to write all the drivers from scratch, so it was bound to take a while. But on the plus side the hardware interfaces seem to be stable across generations. M2 parity with M1 was implemented in 48 hours! So I'm pretty confident it will mostly be case of linux support continuously improving rather than resetting with each new generation.
How odd that they call it "tw-t", is "twat" considered rude in Canada? It's pretty mild in the UK.
Because "mobile first."
As far as I am aware, simply being connected to the same internet does not automatically provide unfettered access to all participants' data.
Same situation here. My 2015 is still going, and I've put that little guy through the ringer. Awesome laptop. I caved and bought an M1 Air last year and it's just amazing. I seem to have luckily missed the problem years of the Macs in between.
You can't ask for everything, but the print quality is not that great.
Assuming you use the laptop for 5 years that’s $40 a year.
Under the hood we're using goldmark. Would something like this extension be sufficient? https://github.com/litao91/goldmark-mathjax
Precisely. It isn't fun or weird because YOU aren't fun or weird. If you were fun or weird you'd already know where all the fun and weird stuff is.
I can share ten stories where the offenders are Muslims and the victims are Hindus. Wire won't be covering those stories. This newspaper is as prejudiced against Hindus as it gets.
i love IRC, without bncs

you close it, and you are not there :) its amazing
you connect and the history is empty, like every day is fresh

slack/discord/whatsapp/etc are just invasive, everybody somehow expects immediate answer to their request.
> I'd be curious if there are any other occurrences in history of something so big ending up regulated by the government?

Repeatedly:

Railroad companies.

Oil and gas companies.

Electricity companies.

Phone companies.

Movie companies.

You'll see a recurring theme here, most of those became what we now call utilities. Once something is so big it acts like a public good, it either gets regulated as one, or outright becomes a public good, i.e. a state affiliated/owned enterprise.

Shareholders are a limited set of the population and their interests can go against the interests of the general population, so we basically make everyone a stakeholder.
I find it sad that nowadays it seems that divorce is pushed for, rather than trying to reconcile/rebuild a healthy relationship.

A LOT of problems are caused by a lack of at least one parent/parental role.
couldn't agree more - the things the FBI choses to spend time and money on are mind boggling; most egregious that comes to mind was all the wasted time and resources tracking down and recovering Tom Brady's jersey in Mexico - I don't care how much it was worth, Tom Brady or the Patriots each have hundreds of millions of dollars available to them if they wanted to track it down with their own money.
This was a very big thing in the late 80s apparently. Our local Kiwanis Club had provided IDs for parents in the community who wanted them. They just had a photo of the child with some other physical descriptions like eye color and birthmarks. Still, kind of a local, analog version of this, but without the dystopian bent.

I agree, this feels more creepy than useful/helpful service.

Democracy or autocracy are largely irrelevant for economic growth. A sustained economic growth is driven by perfecting the balance of risk-taking at the individual as well as societal level.

Too much risk-taking and you end up with rampant crime, civil war, high delinquency on loans (if any loans are given out at all): think Niger and RDC

Not enough risk-taking and you end up with general stasis and stagnation of anything and everything, stuff doesn't move at all in any direction. Think Japan.

Regardless of what people say, it seems the US is the closest to getting that balance right. So if the US wants to be the country of FAANGs it also needs to embrace being the country of Chicago/Baltimore type social landscape. You don't get one without the other.

Matter of fact the US of the 80s and 90s got that balance way better than today's US.

Genuinely curious: can I hook up the Air with a single ultra-wide monitor that's exactly as large as two regular monitors side by side, or is the screen resolution limited, too? I'm thinking of something like [1], though it will probably make more sense to get a MacBook Pro instead at that kind of price.

I know it goes against majority of what people think on the subject, but sometimes doing nothing is the absolute best thing to do. Doing something badly at best can keep things as is; not to mention the worst case scenarios.
It's not just inflation, the Euro has been getting crushed as decades of negligence by the ECB show up. That's not stopping any time soon and the ECB looks like it will be in the position to either destroy the Euro or destroy the bond market.
There is a reason why negligence is not considered a defence in law.
I hope this is supposed to be some kind of joke
While this rationale sounds true, but it doesn't actually align with my observations.

Most of the web's noise content isn't low-effort comments, but low-effort commercial websites: Sometimes "tutorials" for extremely easy tasks padded with a bunch of superfluous instructions, sometimes freebooting other content, other times apparently AI-generated texts that seem legitimate at first glance but don't really make sense.
Butterfly keyboard era. I have one as a work machine that sits around until I need VPN access. The keyboard is miserable, and the fans spin up when I open Slack. In contrast, my 14" M1 Pro is the best laptop I've ever used. Fans are inaudible, incredible performance, incredible keyboard/trackpad, battery is not a worry.
Docker _is_ normal these days.
Johnson's Dictionary called 'from whence' "A vi[c]ious mode of speech", so this is a very old argument!
I refuse to buy a touchbar mac although some have been issued to me by employers. I remember when they came out they raised the price of the MBP for this "feature" that just kinda sucked.

Ended up leaving my MBP closed 95% of the time and using a separate keyboard.
I'm currently reading a book called The High Cost of Free Parking. It's a 23-hour audiobook and I'm only 2 hours in, but already I'm completely convinced that minimum parking requirements are the root cause of out terrible car-dependent cities.
other than promoting the laptop, is there a point to the announcement?
I don't doubt that this article is biased, but that doesn't change the fact that such laws are entirely unreasonable.
Similar story, only I got Ikea Tradfri E14 and E27 bulbs, non-colored, that go from very warm (orange-ish even) to very white, and dimmable brightness. I guess getting into colored reduces the number of non-colored leds and thus max brightness and "accuracy".

The good: Entirely local. No cloud needed (and none exists). Hub does not phone home, except to query for updates, which is done without any extra metadata (this has been scrutinized[0] by multiple people). Updates have very synthetic but sensible changelogs. Hub provides an API over CoAP that has been reverse engineered[1], and is actually quite sensibly designed. Bulb-remote pairing and operation does not require hub at all, which is only used by the app for advanced features and discrete control. This means one can choose not to have a hub at all, or that should LAN be down for any reason - or for guests that don't have the app/lan access - there is a graceful degradation path from the app to the remotes.

The bad: Lowest dimmer setting could be lower, at night I feel it's still quite bright. Not blessed by HomeKit for Adaptive lighting. I wish mains-powered remotes that replace physical switches existed, possibly with an additional small emergency physical switch, instead of CR2032 thingies (I blocked the physical switches so that the bulbs are never powered off, which would kill automation when guests or old habits cut power via the switch. If I want to cut power I do it via the circuit breaker panel. Also the constant power draw when off is small enough to be largely offseted by automation).

The ugly: my E14 bulbs have some coil whine when light is out. Issue is known and widely reported, not sure if it's been fixed in recent production batches. Luckily I use them in places where we're absent when they're off (e.g not bedroom).

The used-to-be-ugly: at first everything was perfectly working, then some updates broke stuff: hub loss of IP connectivity seemingly after DHCP lease expiration, some bulbs would desync/crash, requiring pairing them again, and other connectivity issues. IIRC this lasted a year and then a batch of updates were released addressing each issue in turn.

Usage/main goal: adaptive/circadian lighting throughout home. Working from home, this has been lifechanging.

Is this true? I think most of us would say proximity to a situation (and ability to handle it) changes our moral Imperetive. That’s what makes the Trolley problem so… imperfect? It’s hard to say what it extrapolates to every day life, since it’s a situation that would probably never happen.

If you say that proximity does not imply morality, where are you drawing the line? Would family friends and job duties encompass it? Certainly you can’t say that helping your child implies you are responsible for the whole world.
15”/13” MBPro with the Touch Bar and that horrendous keyboard.
This is prominent in the elderly or children tests. Older people have gifts of experience that can be invaluable to the rest of us, especially when broadly shared. Children have great potential but through most of human history have been relatively cheap, easy to replace, and more of a value sink than generator.
Speaking a foreign language in a country isn’t a human right. Language is one of the things that defines a country!
Inflation has been at a historical low until very recently, and this stat is comparing 2017-2021 vs other 5 year periods:

"There were more mass shootings in the past five years [2017-2021] than in any other half-decade going back to 1966"

So no, I don't think it correlates to recessions and/or inflation.
If you've been working as a developer, how do you not have any resume/job history?

You can and should be able to work as a developer without the job being hell. There are dozens of us that actually enjoy our work :)

Don't learn COBOL.
Back in 2015 Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article which posited that the issue with mass shootings is perhaps that they're more like the threshold theory of action in a riot[1]: within any large group, there's a smaller group are willing to do something - i.e. say a soccer riot where one group starts throwing stuff. Then there's a group of observers who see "a lot" of people doing this, and decide to join in. And then the people who see those people and think "everyone's doing it" and continue it.

Ergo mass shootings are on the rise because there are more mass shootings, and no circuit-breakers to interrupt "the riot".

> ... it seems like Buffett is betting that won't happen ...

At the end of 2021, Berkshire owned about $4.5 billion of Chevron shares. In that same year, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which has made huge investments in wind and solar, had $4 billion in earnings [0]. BHE is investing $18 billion (starting in 2006 and continuing through 2030) to modernize the electrical grid to improve transmission from the remote areas that are the best sources of wind and solar energy (as opposed to near coal plants). BNSF, Berkshire's railroad, which is a far more carbon-efficient way to move freight than roads and trucking, invested $41 billion in fixed assets between 2010 and 2020 [1].

It is possible for someone's approach to energy investing to be multi-faceted.

I found that problem kind of silly. I chose the free will option because it seemed to imply that determinism would just let the people get run over. I don't know if it would have been the same in end, but if the free will option was the only one that saved lives it strikes me as an unfair way to discount determinism as some sort of passive "I'll just let people die" mindset, when arguably the neuron interaction in my brain would make me choose the same result in identical circumstances.
Everybody knows Americans are just uniquely evil people. That's the explanation. Access to weapons obviously has no bearing on the issue.

Back up to 1994... We were supposed to be developing for x-windows. WTF... NCSA Mosaic browser... We're on it. Two months later you could query our Sybase database via an HTML form. Another 3 weeks, you could query our Oracle database with a different form. A year or so later you could download a package to do database interfaces. Soon you could buy one.

Soon after, we used to print the entire catalog of registered domain names, just to see what was taken.
And how does one do packet inspection:

* if packets are only sent via carrier, not wifi

* if packets are sent to aws instances, which is very common

* if it all stops when phone is rooted, which is common for many apps

On Turing Machines
Especially with the Mac, Apple has this odd tendency to keep moribund parts of their lineup around while simultaneously going for a take-no-prisoners approach to rebuilding other lines. The bottom of their laptop offering seems to be the part that suffers the most from this — the Air has always sort of see-sawed between being the premium thin-and-light offering or the entry-level offering (with the 12" MacBook carrying the thin-and-light torch for a while).

Looks like right now the Air and the "proper" (14"/16") MBPs are the ones being propelled forward, while the 13" MBP is the moribund one.
Seems like in 2016 Apple was developing thermal designs for Intel’s future promises which ended up being significantly delayed.

And the Apple Silicon Macbook Air has no fan at all.

This is what Apple wanted out of their laptops, and was clearly struggling to achieve it with Intel’s offerings in 2015-2020.

Detecting Deepfake Video Calls Through Monitor Illumination
On the other side of gridlock, democratic centralism as associated with Leninism, is meant to break factional gridlocks and unite the entire one rule party behind a democratic decision to emphasize swiftness. If Arabs were starving, I think they would want swiftness in getting food and it may be why the article states that they may be looking to the Chinese model as an alternative in the uncertain future.

The US is about checks and balances instead, but it seems like in this gridlock that the Supreme Court is the de facto lawmaking body with it being able to make the recent sweeping political decisions of the US. There's also the rise of "Trumpism" (for the lack of a better word) where people want a strong leader to bend the rules and get things done with the most radical supporters acting extrajudicially. There are also radical anarchists on the other side acting extrajudicially too. I'm not too certain about how stable this system can be with the recession /inflation on top that's clawing away economic and financial gains of ordinary people that may end up radicalizing them.
> It doesn't help that actual trolleys are called trams where I live

Does anyone really still call them that? A trolley is not a tram, it's a trolley, and harkens back from last century. In the US, some people call them trams, most of us call them trains. Portland does have a special version they like to call a streetcar, though. Functionally a light rail train, but runs in normal lanes of traffic.

Go through the timeline of founder of Razorpay, and you will know.
Airtable, Draw.io, Google Docs, and Photopea are all incredibly well-made web apps that are essentially complete products without any major flaws I can think of. Those were just the first four to come to mind, there are countless countless other wonderfully engineered full featured applications which run totally in your browser. It’s actually a bit of a marvel, when you think about it.

There are great web apps and there are great native apps. I think what the author is asking for here is just “better software” and well, wouldn’t we all love that :)
They are only useless when half the people don't use them and ignore all other measures while they're at it. Obviously there's no need to wear it at home; that's just stupid. But outside, in public space, it catches a lot of those particles that can carry the virus. If everybody wears one, that means less virus particles in the air, and less chance of infection.

And during the pandemic, a lot of countries did indeed not have their usual flu season.
Why does the FBI have to develop an app, though? Shouldn't they focus on what they're good at and able to do, like investigating crimes?
I disagree. There are practical limits to what we are responsible for. And there are current obligations and responsibilities we have for ourselves. Just because we know of something does not make us responsible for it. Proximity and risk also play a role.

I am obligated to my family and to myself. To provide for them as an example. But I would also be able to fly across the world and feed a starving child, in theory. But my obligation to my own family, and myself outweighs that. There would also be risks to the journey. Consequences with those actions as well.

Ask HN: Should I take a step back in Seniority? (Sen-Mid)
I am currently a Senior Dev at the Eastern Europe branch of a well known (esp here) company and I have around 7 practical years experience in programming (a few more in other IT services).

I won't go into much details (colleagues read HN), but my dev stack isn't the best paid, however I am in the process of becoming a Team Lead at the current company.

I recently got offered to interview for a senior position at another company where I will learn a much better stack and new technologies.

All was well on the interview (from my point), but it seems that they didn't deem me as Senior material yet and want me to join as a mid level (pay is still higher than current, but not that much and is a lot lower than what I wanted).

At what point do you think taking a step back in seniority is worth it? Does it actually even matter if the pay is better and I will learn a better stack? However I will likely make TL soon and get the same pay in the following months.

I feel a bit cheated by the whole process.
