Otto had a heap of apples.

So their solution to management and process problems is to "manage harder." Yeah, this is going to go well.

Yes! First, if you haven't spent much time on gravel, you will be more confident and sure-footed on the MTB. Second, you will have a much more comfortable ride. As others have said, it will be a bit more effort, but the improved confidence will probably do more for your overall speed than a skinny tire.

I would however lock out the rear suspension, and probably the front too. The high volume tires at the right pressure will likely provide all the suspension you need for gravel and your pedaling will be more efficient.

As far as being mercilessly mocked, that reminds me of an old adage. We spend our youth worrying about what other people think. In middle age we decide we don't care what other people think. As we get older, we finally realize no one was thinking about us.

It's Apple. Haters are going to hate no matter what they do.

Looking at the board photo, something bad happened during disassembly of the 14 Pro Max. At least 9 components were heated and moved off their pads on the main CPU board in the lower left corner. Some of the chips on the other side are also shifted. Will take some work to get that running again...

Well said. Perhaps it was also because you and your friends had the humility to realize that it was you who didn't understand something a few days earlier. Helping others to learn and working with a group where learning is allowed and nurtured is incredibly important.

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. ... There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

These absolutist arguments are not helpful. If one lives in a dense urban area, a car is just a nuisance most of the time. Avoiding car ownership and using a rental for an occasional trip likely makes more sense. If one can afford keeping it parked and insured most of the time, having a car available on short notice is convenient but not essential. On the other hand, I live in a sparsely populated region and I couldn't even go to the grocery without a car.

Any arguments relating to transportation are kind of pointless if not put within the right framework.

Sorry, that's a cop out. It says "About X results" and it shows this on a page of results. The inference is clearly that I could see about X number of results if I'm patient enough.

Thank you.

I assume this is sarcasm. If not, there is much to learn about making consumers happy.

I don't agree, but even if someone thinks they don't care they actually do since the custom silicon is no small part of why the multi-device stuff works so well. Not to mention the noise cancellation, transparency mode, etc. Sure, you buy because of the characteristics, but the characteristics are due to the custom silicon.

Fahrenheit is nice because the normal range of temps for most climates that humans generally prefer to inhabit is about 0 to 100. Over 100 starts to be dangerous to humans without some form of cooling, evaporative or otherwise. 0 F (-18 C) is about as cold a temp as most (not all) people would want to live in. Ironically, viewed from that perspective, Fahrenheit gives typical temps a nice powers of ten framework, which is normally one of the great advantages of metric systems. Celsius fails in this regard, going from -18 C to 28 C for the same range. Less precision and no intuitive decimal framework.

On the other hand, I completely agree that the rest of the non-metric measurements are just a mess. However, the binary nature of cups, pints, quarts, half gallons, and gallons are kind of quaint I suppose.

> If that were the case, I think youd see a lot more people designing cores.

Why? Designing fast and efficient cores is difficult and expensive. Almost certainly more expensive than licensing a pre-designed core. You've got to have a clear business need and the money (and expertise) to do it.

> There is nothing physically limiting it from working.

Clouds, rain, atmospheric density variations, interfering signals and noise sources, phone positioning, the attenuation and reflections from nearby materials...

Also, don't forget that the SpaceX announcement was for a max of about 4 Mbps for an entire cell which they said was a very large geographic area. It will also be asynchronous short message (text) for quite a while. Next time I am backpacking in Canyonlands it will be great to have, but it will have very little impact on the vast majority of phone usage for quite some time. Its a small but important step.

So, I guess there is no possibility that their hundreds of millions of customers recognize that they are paying more for more? I guess all of us are just idiots. Markets don't work that way. Over time unsatisfied customers change the market dynamic. That hasn't happened. Perhaps you should reevaluate your criteria for determining "more" and "less" in terms of product value to the consumer.

It is for fun. If any thing needs to be clarified, you and your opponent make a decision and then play the game. Maybe you do multiple games using different variants and see what works best. I don't think the author is proposing a new game standard. They are just trying to describe a variant that they found enjoyable.

I agree that some things need to be clarified, but that's part of the fun. You are correct that this does point out the difficulty in converting home-brew to a formalized game. However, that doesn't make it nonsense. Just think of it as a good starting point.

>I'm not sure, but my gut feeling is that every roll above 3 and maybe even equal to 3 is an immediate checkmate or at the very least a crushing advantage. Like, rolling a 4 on the first move wins the game, rolling a 3 wins the queen, ... that much tempo is devastating.

That advantage is held in check, so to speak, by the check limited turns. Once a piece has put an opponent in check, it can't move again. Other pieces cannot put the opponent in check on the same move. That still creates the possibility of checkmate in one turn, but remember that the opponent will likely also get multiple moves to get out of the situation. Assuming that the in-check player can use all of their moves to get out of check, they might get 3 or 4 moves with which they can wipe out the advantage gained by the other player on the previous move.

Of course, if the in-check player only happens to get one move then it is probably over. Basically, this injects a significant level of chance into gameplay and it speeds up the game. Its really a different game. The more I think about it the more interesting it becomes.

To make it more even handed and less dependent upon chance, it could be done with only 2-3-4 move turns. Being allowed only a single move after an opponent had 4 moves is a disaster. Or maybe a limit on the delta between move counts for successive turns.

Teams is full of weird bugs and strange UI, but it is the only conferencing app I've used that seamlessly transitions between devices during a meeting.

Not my experience. I run zoom in a linux vm on my mac. It runs fine. I've never installed zoom on the host.

Well, in recent Mac systems '/' is read only so nothing will happen.

I run it in a linux vm isolated from my mac system. It has access to the camera, network, and audio, but only when it is running. No host file system access. I just can't trust that company.

Yes there are a million articles. That is why asking a question here on HN is useful. The HN community more often than not offers intelligent insight as well as curated recommended links for learning more about a topic. Yes, the signal-to-noise ratio isn't perfect on HN, but it is a lot better than random Google searches. If nothing else, it often leads to enough basic understanding so that someone can then perform more refined and therefore more productive Google searches. I appreciate the basic questions and the generous nature of many HN commenters who offer thoughtful responses.

I agree that on the surface, it sounds dreadful. The problem is that many doctors have found through experience that patient compliance with a daily pill is much better than with dietary changes. If a doctor wants to actually help a patient, the treatment that a patient will actually do becomes the most effective by default.

Having said that, I do think that doctors need to be aware of and make sure the alternatives are discussed with the patient. The paternal MD attitude of just tell the patient what they think the patient needs to hear should not be tolerated. If I ever get that vibe from a doc I move on and find someone who will respect me as a patient.

It just needs a tiny bit of acceleration in the right direction as it is released. It would then just drift away. That is just clever mechanical design and similar things have been done in other craft.

Hmm. I don't really get that. If document provenance matters, don't you want to keep it read only?

It would be interesting to break the behavior issues down into a few prevalent subcategories to get some understanding of what is happening.

No permanent damage is your threshold for what is acceptable? There is plenty of discomfort long before we get to permanent damage. Are you really arguing that companies should base their product designs on whether or not the problems they create for their users are permanent or not? No company with any hope of success would ever use such a criteria.

Better job? How many people have died due to nuclear energy accidents? If you consider deaths per megawatt, or most any other standard, the nuclear agencies are doing a fantastic job. How low does the risk have to be?

The relative risk of nuclear to coal is unbelievably low yet there is still this irrational ability to weigh risk/reward benefits correctly.

No, a small finned heat sink with no air movement would be worse. They are spreading out the heat to move it out via a large surface area of the metal case. I'm guessing the paste wouldn't help much since the heat flow density is fairly low. Think of it this way, the thermal resistance per sq mm is relatively high, but the total parallel thermal resistance is still very low because of the large area.

Don't forget, this machine is focused on the consumer mass market, not the high performance market. It will never break a sweat for the vast majority of typical use cases. Even when throttling a little bit, it still vastly outperforms the Intel MB Air it replaces.

Get a 14" MB Pro if you really want incredible thermal performance.

No, latin is the only language we'll ever need! It is much closer to the fundamental truth, unlike these modern languages that make unnecessary abstractions of what is really going on at the low level.
