(IANAL, most familiar with UK rules)

Generally a author has copyright over their works without having to explicitly says so. Saying "Copyright (c) YYYY AUTHOR NAME" is just a way of asserting it to remove potential confusion or ambiguity.

With no licensing, there is no right to use a copyright work (except fair use). BSD licensing a work is granting permission is a set of circumstances, not revoking permission. Thus if a license is not correctly applied the work cannot be used, rather than the inverse.

As for "The content in this repo is BSD licensed" - the usual licensing wording is again a convention designed to be as clear as possible, but the wording applied there probably counts as it pretty clearly intends to give permission. The "probably" is why people ought to stick to known and understood conventions.

The hardware is not more locked down than ever.

"Case" in point, I had the MBP17 just before change to unibody, and now the unibody. To replace the HD in the older model involved a half dozen more steps including removing the keyboard and various components. In the current model, just open the bottom and swap the drive.

I had the white Mac Mini (last model with DVD) and needed a metal spatula to get into it to upgrade RAM. With the current model, I needed... my fingertips.

And of course the Mac Pro (tower) is as open as ever.

"why would I want the US to control the internet as opposed to the UN?"

UN control of the Internet means that the governments of China, Russia, and numerous other governments that are far worse than the US government would be in a position to influence Internet policy. Some governments want to add a structure of fees to the Internet, so that visiting websites would involve paying every country through which your packets travel. Some want censorship to be built-in, so that their political dissidents cannot simply use VPNs, proxy servers, or Tor to evade national firewalls.

To put it another way, the US government's approach to censorship of the Internet is mostly a combination of rare and costly raids on server rooms, hijacking domain names, and arresting people who download illegal pornography. China's approach is to have tens of thousands of government workers laboring 24 hours per day to identify websites that go too far in contradicting the Communist party's official policies, maintaining an enormous national firewall, and attacking Tor network connections to prevent people from evading the firewall -- and they also raid server rooms and arrest people who possess the wrong information. Do you really want to let China have any sort of power over the Internet?

Python has PyTables which complements Pandas nicely and seems to offer the same sort of features as data.table (note, I've not actually used data.table)
That's a nonanswer; the majority of users does not know what the hell that is, and the people that do are going to think twice about disabling system-wide security to run some app.
I have covered and perfectly hedged costless collars (via options - +/- 10-20% depending on IV) on all my equity positions to protect myself against catastrophic risks (aka black swans) at little to no cost to myself.

Here are some examples of risks I have considered (many more but cbf): economic failure (GFC)/terrorist attacks on TSLA (9/11)/unexpected death of main principals (Elon Musk et al.)/catastrophic accounting fraud (Enron/MCI Worldcom)/financial failure (Solyndra)/bankruptcy (A123)/production fraud (Fisker/BYD).

I've run many possible outcomes both in my mind and in computer simulations of TSLA's future finances (programming rocks). I've completed DCF, Monte Carlo and worst-case scenarios (by far the most important) on TSLA's future finances - which although shaky under certain conditions - do not particularly worry me, since I'm hedged, moderately risk taking and a value investor who doesn't really give a shit what the market thinks. I've got a range of prices based on market outcomes and future EV demand telling me whether to buy or sell.

I don't use leverage, margin, or derivatives that aren't fully covered and hedged by my own cold hard cash no matter what the environmental situation - let's me sleep like a baby. I hate uncapped risk - hate, hate, hate it!

I'm impervious to volatility, time decay and catastrophic risk.

My worst case VAR is 20% on the TSLA position - aka loss of 20%. I have no problems with that - I'm actually used to mark-to-market drawdowns of 50-60% - so 20% is peanuts (my current CAGR for the last 4 years has been 35% - mostly because I'm the guy that buys in a crisis with a margin of safety significantly below fair value).

My nightmare scenario is actually TSLA gapping up 20%+ without me being there to lock in another costless spread.

I'm not impervious to nuclear war - but you can't hedge that shit.

I know risk, tech, finance and economics inside and out.

Concentration is for people like me who know what they are doing. For everyone else - there's Mastercard.. I mean index funds :D

This whitelisting apparently survives even Sparkle updating.

Sparkle probably never sets the com.apple.quarantine attribute and if the application does not have LSFileQuarantineEnabled set in its Info.plist, its downloaded files are not put in quarantaine. Applications that do not have that extended attribute are never checked.

"They're both designed around completely in-memory arrays, which are passed around by-value with a copy-on-write scheme." True, but that doesn't invalidate my point. The datasets I'm typically working with are quite large 300GB-1TB (I have 2TB ram on my main server). I've tried both R and MATLAB and R has been a disaster. Even to plot say 10 million points on a graph is a pain.
Gelman and Hill is a wonderful and under-rated book. My guess is that its clumsy title (Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models) hides the fact that it's an introductory textbook that takes the reader from knowing nothing to eventually constructing complex Bayesian models. Plus, it's a pretty good tutorial on R and BUGS.

"Windows doesn't have the idea of multiple people being logged into the windowing environment at the same time, each getting desktops and being able to run programs."

That's not quite correct. Windows does have this capability; it's called Remote Desktop Services. The enabled features differ between desktop and server editions (as there is different licenses and purposes for each edition). But even the desktop edition allows multiple users running different applications at the same time in different windows and separate desktops, although only one user will be active on the keyboard and screen at a time. On the server editions, the distinct desktops are visible remotely.

Couldn't disagree more. I'm very happy with Apple's current software/hardware products. Won't bother to go into detail since the author doesn't go into detail much with his gripes either. Not worth the keystrokes. (semi related I'm downright giddy about the new iTunes. I think it's a great sign of where Apple's desktop software is heading)
Not trying hard enough should never be an excuse.

They failed, and to be fair, most have failed. The fact of the matter is that is hard to dominate your market, everybody will downplay your success. And nobody will ever give credit to your product, or to your strategy, or to your business. It's always luck, customers with more money than brains, deception.

The iPod, the iPhone, the iPad. They were all flukes in history that are going to be corrected when the market corrects itself. Excuse me?

The truth is, Apple, and Audi and BMW, must be doing something right. It's just not something for you.

I've been leaning this way, I've also heard of people actually taking less time off with the policy. Although I'm not sure how much of an issue that will be as we are usually pushing people to unplug a bit. Also the partners do a good job of leading by example and taking time off. The fact that you don't have to track the vacation as much given everything that has to be tracked in the business is enticing though.

"When parents want to edit HD videos of their kids taken with their camcorder they will not run to their iPad to do it..."

On the contrary, the video editors on iPhone and iPad are hugely popular, and if we expand to include photos, the iOS photo editing dominance is staggering. Hordes of users began editing and publishing photos who never had.

With iPad 1 I still traveled with my MBP17. With iPad 2 I started to wish I could leave it at home.

With iPad 3, the Logitech Ultraslim keyboard, and the extra screen resolution (with multitasking gestures enabled to slide right/left between running apps), I now leave the MBP at home and use iSSH to manage servers and network, Google Apps for business tasks, Diet Coda and Koder for code editing and review, iPhoto and iMovie for media editing (I shoot Nikon D3 and it even keeps NEF+JPG as managed pairs), and iCab for web apps needing file uploads and downloads. If I run into a task I need a desktop for, say, to build an iOS app or test a web app in Windows 8, I VNC in.

All told, the frustration of doing everyday tasks with the iPad 3 and Logitech Ultraslim Keyboard cover has gotten low enough I leave the laptop at home even on extended trips, so it's certainly viable as the main machine for people whose job isn't as computing oriented or content creation oriented as mine.

I am so tired of this bullshit. The iMac was never upgradeable, and it isn't designed to be. You needed two giant suction cups to get into it, and less than 0.5% of iMac owners ever did this. To buy an all in one for it's upgradability is simply retarded. You could upgrade the RAM or the hard drive, and on the new 27", you can upgrade the RAM with the push of a button.

So lets please cut the straw man arguments. You want to be cool for hating on Apple, and decided that ignominious post would do it. The problem, you just look like a fool. Apple has never made an easily upgradeable all in one, And yet, if you want to customize a Mac, you still have that option with the MacPro.

Lets call out the real reason; you want to feel cool. You felt Apple made you cool when they had a tiny market share, but now has too many users for you to feel exclusive.

> We decided being more transparent about some things is great—not that we were not transparent at all before, but we’ve stepped it up in places where we think we can make a bigger difference, where we want people to copy us

I'm willing to bet that the reason they're doing this is exactly the opposite. Integrating their last-stage manufacturing would be a great way of squashing those pesky product leaks from contractors.

Wonder if this is the first step towards a move across all products. It'd make sense to start with a relatively low-volume, high-margin product like the Mac.
If I give someone an iPad, I can be 99% certain they won't make it unusable or full of viruses in a month. Have you seen the average person's Windows desktop?

I'm not sure that's a magic bullet. Amongst my family and friends at least, I have seen the following problems instead:

The iPad is now broken because they gave it to their kids to play "poke santa until he falls over" or whatever it is, they dropped it and it had all their stuff on it and they can't get it back because they have no idea what all their sign ins were and whether or not stuff was on facebook or the device or not. Can't get it off either because it's stuck together and the flash is soldered on the board.

The Windows PC is still full of crap, but at least we can get most of it back every time by yanking the drive, plopping it in a spare machine, virus scanning it, cleaning it up and sticking it back in their PC. Worst case, they lose a few infected jpgs or their WoW account details.

We get a lot more "fuck you iPad!" than we do with a PC to be honest.
Well, sue, but more generally, have better legal control over supply relationships.
If this helps, I for one do tend to give a lot of thought to what people are writing or replying to me - maybe way too much sometimes to the point where it can affect my mood, a lot. I don't really draw that line between "online conversation" and "real conversation", which a lot of youngens seem to do nowadays. I didn't grow up with the noise-pollution internet 2.0 for and from the masses, maybe that is why. For me it is as real a conversation as any with a person I don't personally know; if someone in real would reply to me like that, I would feel just as bad or offended or I would just as much re-research my point if I was wrong.

Otherwise what's the whole point of "social media" if all you are doing is stroking your own ego and not learning any thing?

I don't think it's useless. The fan boy phenomenon (of any type) is one of the more difficult and frustrating things in tech to deal with. Somebody who likes some company a lot, and buys their gadgets and thinks the stuff the company makes is swell, but is able to afford the fact that their company does do things wrongly sometimes is not a fan boy -- they're a fan and I don't think anybody has a problem with fans.

People who act as consistent apologists, who's identity is made up of their allegiance to this company and who react with shock and indignation that anybody could even propose that the company they've devoted a significant part of their psyche and lives to, could in any way be flawed...are fan boys. And they bring discourse to a halt by increasing the noise in a conversation to the point entire forums become useless, and actual fans get caught up in the crossfire...it's really frustrating and annoying.

And if you read all that and thought I was talking about Apple then you've missed the point. This exists as a kind of mixed-identification phenomenon exists across a broad spectrum of milieus. Car brands, politics, religion, etc. And it's to the benefit of these brands that they identify and recruit the people who are susceptible to fan boyism and use them as a deep pool of loyal customers and a passive defense to their organization's operations. Why try and spend time fighting off stories of negative aspects of your company when you have a million fan boys who'll do it for you?

And it's the constant noise they introduce, either in the form of an echo chamber of reinforcing good feeling but content free interactions or in the form of constant nonsensical diatribes and willfully ignorant defenses of their brand identity, that's why it's important for any on-line community to try and either turn fan boys into rational thinkers -- to separate the person's identity from the brand -- or drive them from the community.

HN is a place that needs signal, not noise. And fan boys bring only the loudest sort of static possible.
