IDK if ASUS has been doing it longer than others. However I find that this is common practice now days for most companies. I exchanged some sony headphones the other week and the ones I got back literally had dirt smeared in them, like some construction worker or mechanic had them and returned them.

I had some issues with a corsair power supply a couple years ago I had to do 5 returns before they finally sent me one in a box that was not already opened.

Apple does this as matter of practice. You go in they will give you an "new" phone that is in some weird box that is not the retail box. Those are returned phones.
This question is very OT considering the what TFA is about, but…

What does the term ad-hoc polymorphism mean in your comment? Are you saying Rust does not have ad-hoc polymorphism because the syntax acts like the function in parametrically polymorphic and only once monomorphisation occurs are the different functions per argument type are generated is it N different functions. Does this line of thinking also say Haskell does not have ad-hoc polymorphism?

And in case any reader wonders, I am genuinely interested in your response to these questions (i.e. this isn’t bait nor rhetorical).
If Jones can't run his mouth without financial repercussions then politicians shouldn't be able to run theirs either and their PACs shouldn't be able to run those stupid lying ads.

It's not whataboutism. It's complaining about inequality under the law.

The lesson being learned here isn't "don't lie". It's "don't lie unless you're one of the more equal animals"
Good point for the extra displays but in this case they are using only 32gb which makes it a bit overkill unless they do video editing work
There are plenty of people out there who are somewhere between mentally ill, people who thinks things are funny or those who will literally do anything for fame or fortune.

I mean those people who shared the fake "magnetic covid chip" videos without even a thought for feeding paranoid people who then die because they don't get vaccinated.

Or people who create those ridiculous "You won't believe what Barack Obama did next" as pure click bait ads just for the money, without thinking that people then believe this stuff etc.

In which case it isn't relevant. I typed those words for a reason, any result not containing all three is not relevant by definition.

I think spouting blatant lies is and should be something you can "get away with," at least legally. Jones was (IMO) actually attacking these people. He continuously unleashing a mob of shitposting arseholes and actual lunatics on them.

The only reason engineers in the US adopted "clean rooms" was to circumvent copyright law, not because they simply weren't willing to copy IP from their competitors. US companies still invested heavily in R&D. Maybe Chinese companies will do the same?

> Where I work, it seems this trend is hitting commercial labs too, researchers are slowly being forced to "produce".

Even better, this is often the same productivity metric: papers. Though papers can be good, I'd much prefer to _build_ stuff, and measuring productivity by paper count & journal "impact" undercuts the research itself and its productisation.

Gitlab ships various ci runner executables for all platforms. I use their Windows ci runner and it works well, but I wonder how they test it without running windows.
> Which other results from programming language theory and mathematics will we be able to leverage to make software build quickly, work reliably, and further tame Unix?

I think Apenwarr's redo (https://redo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), based on an idea from D.J. Bernstein, is a very interesting development, because it also has the "purely functional" principle at its core - and this allows for much faster parallel builds.
because windows can't run browsers anymore? I would say they don't give a f*ck on the operating system you use, as long it includes a browser.

It's just their workforce, where they don't want to see anyone working with windows.
>Setting up scanning for recent articles is probably harder than it seems. Can’t think of any other forum that does it.

The vast majority of dupes posted here are the same domain, site and title. Catching that would be as easy as a call to the Algolia API. I'm using the Hacker News enhancement suite add-on for Firefox and it does that to generate a list of prior threads. That leaves edge cases, but human curation should be enough for that.

Then again, HN checks for canonical URLs, it could check for canonical title, author and excerpt text in metadata as well. But just a bare title match would catch almost everything, especially during high velocity periods. Then again again, I think I mentioned this in the past and dang said they tried to find more robust solutions in software but false negatives and edge cases made it infeasible.

HN could prompt submitters to reply to an existing thread instead of posting a duplicate, if an open thread exists, while allowing the option to post. That should remove the possibility of the software rejecting a legit post due to a bad match. Having the process be entirely automated would probably be a bad idea.
Woah, that tweet led me to:

"GitLab plans to automatically delete projects if they've been inactive for a year and are owned by users of its free tier."

Which I hadn't heard. That's.... something.

> The FTC can't do anything about human nature, so they're left dealing with the part of the problem they do have some leverage over.

Even the part they supposedly have leverage over is debatable. The courts have already thrown out numerous claims against Facebook from Lisa Khan's previous lawsuits (albeit without prejudice). From this, it should be obvious that the FTC's powers of prognostication are limited. So much so that the arguments suggesting the FTC should be permitted to due process are mind-boggling to say the least.
GitHub for example does have desktop apps that allow using GitHub for less CLI-inclined folks. This allows integrating people that are not primarily developers into your GitHub-based workflows with less hassle, and fosters collaboration across those boundaries.

Git for windows is also notoriously different when it comes to edge cases, so in Gitlabs place I‘d be absolutely happy to have developers that use that OS as a daily driver.
> Europe had world class technology and much better growth. In Asia you could find pretty good technology

The irony in this view is that almost everything tech and otherwise is manufactured by developing countries. And in places like Shenzhen, they innovate at an unimaginably rapid pace.

But sure, Europe has “world class” tech and Asia has “pretty good” tech…
It's interesting because it shows how much influence the CCP has over the American company Apple.
Perhaps this will give the FED the courage to push a full percentage rise in the next meeting instead of 75 bps.

Either way, this gives the FED the cover to continue raising rates through next year.

Anyone who thinks the FED will lower rates next year is delusional.
You just have to hold down on the spacebar and the trackpad will show up.
I disagree, Apple is acting exactly as it claims are its ethics, here. The part that needs discussion is how it prioritizes adhering to laws versus less specifically defined ethical values.

In my view, China acts abusively in many ways. And the country is currently important to modern global manufacturing.

In my understanding changing where a physical product company manufactures everything is horrifically difficult.

Apple very discretely talks about the ethical standards that it adheres to:

I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect that judges sorta know that people who are being sued or prosecuted are not exactly going to be reliable witnesses if they testify, and that it'd probably be a bigger deal if this were one of Jones' associates who wasn't on the hook for the money. There's also plenty of time for the judge to dial up some perjury referrals.
Trade is really a matter for the government, and the US (sadly) adheres to the One China Policy. This just reflects the official policy, and having the companies pick this fight instead of the country is hypocritical.
No. If companies didn't sink resources into "innovations" like this you'd still travel around on faster horses.

Let them burn some budget on crazy ideas, some will stick.
> Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware.

Consider linux dominance on end-users devices through android and embedded systems like smart tv's. There are more instances of linux running and being used right now by end-users than windows. UNIX legacy and a long maturation process on HPC and servers probably has to do with how linux systems evolved to be so secure today compared to windows; also because of "bad-habits" windows historically brings.

It may sound cheesy and although I'd like to see linux more used on the desktop, I'm pretty happy with the current situation.
Isn't that a case of the wetware that procures the laptops being not quite on the samepage, especially for someone working in geared towards developers company.

Yeah, started my own robotics company, early engineer at another that sold for >$200M. You seem to have misinterpreted my statement of "hardware is already good enough" to mean "hardware is unimportant."
Both East Germany (when it existed) and West Germany were "Germany" and at least theoretically belived their government was the legitimate one for the whole territory, but products made in both were generally distinguished on their labels.
Doesn't this assume the system ever worked? Is this actually a sign of the decline of civilization, or just that we are able to aware of the status quo now?
Unlikely. Appeals are always a long shot, especially for civil cases.
In a VM.
I agree. If nothing else they won’t be able to replicate Windows typography, which is different from Linux and OS X. Base fonts are different; kerning and anti-aliasing are different. Web design is still 90% typography, and cutting the largest install base out of your test matrix seems silly to me.
In my experience the Nvidia driver support has been pretty painless (once you figure out the correct settings in configuration.nix of course), and the availability of packages is by far the best of any linux distro I've used.
"So we become a little like a stubborn child, asserting our independence by digging in and not moving."

Some people look outside at the pool and hear the play people call them racist terms. They get bullied into things they dont want. They try over and over, and they couldn't help the racist people be better.

And the adults they went to for help laughed and joked about them. Saucy unfunny jokes that are going to stick with them for life, jokes that minimize their own stories.

So they're exhausted. So exhausted. Some of them didn't even want to be authors, they said no to typewriters at garage sales, but still it didn't stop.

But they won't give up. Life is wonderful and goes on for several more years.

And the crappy part is people like that, who had a history of voting for progressive causes, lose a little empathy and trust. Because they said stop.
Developing "essentially a website" is my full time job - if you genuinely don't think there are differences between platforms, you aren't paying attention.

The browser is wired into the OS in real ways, and they matter. Everything from "How does the os manage passwords" or "how are system notifications presented" or "How much screen real estate do I have have on a given window size (scrollbars...)" to subtle differences in how the network stack behaves, or how windows are rendered.

Hell, I can list about 20 differences just off the top of my head - and a damn good part of that is because I've been forced to pay attention to each of those platforms. Which clearly you have not...

I read your comment as "I only use a mac, and I don't understand".
'You don't think that high housing prices cause homelessness?'

It's a factor but not a fundamental as I previously said. SF has always had a large transient population - great climate, dumpster diving, permissive culture - which has now exploded due to the Fentanyl & meth disaster. There are lots of generational blue collar renter families really struggling to survive in the bay area and an acute shortage of housing primarily due to tech and over capacity of residents until recently.

What we now have is a mass exodus of tax paying residents and a huge influx of non contributing drug and smi casualties which is really tarting to hurt the tourism that pays the blue collar families rent via their jobs.
> It's just that sometimes, what seems to be the most relevant documents won't have all the exact words

As a user I would prefer to be the judge of what is relevant. If the results aren't what I'm looking for, then I'll modify the query until they are.

Having the search engine make these opaque decisions on what it thinks I meant to search makes it feel like playing a game of Peggle, where I have no idea if what I'm going for will be what I get.
This is why I find this policy ironic and silly. MacOS is the largest target of choice for bad actors as late because the ratio of high value/low chance of rejection users have migrated to Mac over the past few years because of the whole "Macs are safer" myth. To the point that an exploit for MacOS goes for a lot more money not because they are all that rare but because the value of the targets is greater.

MacOS CVE details as late: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-49/p...

Windows: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-26/p...

Note how the windows ones are more up to date and patched faster? That's because Mac only does major updates on a cycle and doesn't patch out of band ever if they can avoid it. So yeah I think this is all theater and people's own biases being silly. But if it works for them then that's fine.
So we… expect Apple to break the law in China in order to make some kind of moral stand?

And that moral stand is over the sovereignty of a country?

Even though the US government, with vastly more resources at its disposal and more ability to withstand the consequences of Chinese anger, does not make this stand?
Give a try to add a drag listener mix with a double click listener on the child element, you end up with a bug only with windows laptop trackpad.
Lying to investigators shouldn't be a crime, in my opinion. It too often creates a situation where you can just investigate someone endlessly, find no real evidence, and then convict them of lying based on some flimsy inconsistencies in their statements.

I suppose some specific kinds of lies could be crimes, but there should be a high bar for both the type of lie told as well as the certainty that it's really a lie.
For me personally, this is exactly what I want. On days where I have meetings. It's a tablet for note taking. On days where I'm studying, it's a PDF reader either in 12.5" mode or 17" mode depending on the symbols. On days where I'm coding I would probably pair this with a g915 tlk and a second 15" portable monitor. That's a very reasonable workstation in a bag and wouldn't be heavy at all. The flexibility to be different types of devices in just one laptop is excellent. Where do I buy it?
> Due to Microsoft Windows' dominance in desktop operating systems, Windows is the platform most targetted by spyware, viruses, and ransomware.

This is poor reasoning and a misunderstanding of how security works. Any org should be happy with any OS, as long as sufficient security controls for it exist. Anyone who oversees Windows estates, or works in desktop security, can tell you that they exist and are extensive, and are effective.

I suspect this is a policy that's been pushed out by a C-level who simply hates Windows but is being justified with >15 year old reasonings.

> macOS is preinstalled on Apple computers and Linux is available free of charge. To approve the use of Windows, GitLab would have to purchase Windows Professional licenses, as Windows Home Edition does not satisfy GitLab's security guidelines.

More tenuous reasoning - macOS is not 'free'. By their logic they should _only_ be allowing Linux. But I think that just tells us it isn't driven by logic.
> Next, invest in recency + relevancy over just page reputation.

Counterpoint: Google already gives priority to recency, and it heavily rewards "flip shop" sites that essentially plagiarize existing content. The original researchers/authors who did the leg work get buried in lazy rewrites.
> This article presupposes that Proxima Centauri is not, in fact, made of chorizo.

I don't think it does.

It can both be true that Proxima Centauri is made of Chorizo and that the French Scientist tweeted a picture of some Chorizo that was not Proxima Centauri.
3D Touch had 256 levels of pressure. But it it was replaced with Forced touch (hard press vs normal press), nothing would have been lost.

I wish they would bring it back via Force Touch on iPhones.
Google search has a feature to restrict your search to a specific period, such as 'only stuff that showed up in the last year'. I can foresee google semi-intelligently figuring out it's a news search and giving you recent stuff in that case. As long as explicitly selecting a search period completely disables any 'recency' filtering, that seems fine to me.

I also wish it was possible to be very specific with the recency selector. I want to be able to say: I want to search for stuff that showed up in this month 5 years ago, because I know it was news then.
As a long time Windows user, it would take me a considerable amount of time to get used to the operating system and all applications and utilities that I need to be productive. Not saying Windows is great, but it works for me. And I'm pretty sure they don't hire people to learn an operating system.
Asking for a discussion to be focused on one particular problem is fine in my opinion. But I think we can both agree that "Don't you find it exhausting being offended by everything all at once?" isn't exactly the best way to say that, to put it mildly, without even taking into consideration the condescending and infantilizing comment that came right after.
I had to look again and might have missed it, but I didn’t see where Gitlab expressed concerns about the cost of Windows Professional version. They had concerns with team members sourcing they’re own Windows laptops which would traditionally come with Home Edition and need to be upgraded adding to the IT overhead.

Where were the cost concerns on buying windows licenses?
In theory the law is applied without personal bias, but of course all legal officers are humans and in practice personal bias can be very relevant.

The man propagated a repugnant and objectively false slander, that parents of murdered children were engaged in a performative coverup, which lead to countless death threats and other indignities against the parents.

I everyone should get fair treatment under the law, but I think it’s almost impossible to imagine the nature of what he did will not influence the outcome of his trial and appeals. Also, civil cases have lower standards of proof and far fewer opportunities for a judgment to be appealed than criminal.
I believe 4 million is a very small amount for the hurt he caused.
Mobile device management is the topic. You can manage windows devices remotely, just as you can manage MacOS devices. No need for them to check in. It „just“ takes some effort, and if you have multiple operating systems to support, the effort is multiplied. But a company of their market cap and size probably should have the funds for a team dedicated to this.
Probably that if you weren't mining on f2pool for the last few years you were severely disadvantaged, and that if every other pool doesn't start executing this "attack", they are not playing the ETH game correctly.
Hi, I know youve gotten bombarded here - but the single greatest low-effort high-reward change y'all could make would be allowing data labels to be outside the data (immediately above or below). Currently you can only do base, mid, or top. In finance (my field) pretty much all charts have a second ghost bar with the same numeric value put above any bar chart, for the sole purpose of removing the filled color and putting the data label in the base (i.e. immediately above the real bar).

You would be a hero to thousands and thousands of junior bankers if you made this change lol.
> The number of "lifer" employees with no aspirations is vanishingly small compared to 20+ years ago.

I'm curious: Do you have data you could share around this assertion?

Intuitively, I'd be inclined to bet the opposite. The population of the world has grown significantly; even if the number of "interesting" ambition-satisfying jobs grew at the same rate, there would still be tons more people in an absolute sense who end up stuck in a dead-end job.

(Admittedly, I conflated aspiration with achievement just then, but I'm not sure if there is an empirical difference? If an ambitious person is stuck in a dead-end job for years, then, by definition, they must not be ambitious enough.)
