Instead you have 4 identical ports that all do the same things poorly.

Does that also mean that lost money would need to be returned? Would the casino be obligated to notify past players of this and return their losses?

Don't underestimate the difficulty of those hurdles. Driverless cars are a technology that will be directly responsible for human deaths. We as a society don't have a legal or ethical framework to deal with that sort of thing yet. Driverless cars could very well be the first deployment of autonomous robots within the general public, that is significant.

Self driving or driverless? I don't see any significant savings for self-driving cars, you still need to pay the person and you have the significant added expense of fleet maintenance. Not to mention liability concerns, unless they plan in passing that off onto the 'drivers'.

Driverless cars on the other had and still decades away, whether the tech is ready or not. Society is not yet at a place that will allow the use of full driverless vehicles on public roads. It doesnt matter how much statistically better a driverless car is than a human, every single accident will be magnified. Driverless cars could be our first foray into truly autonomous robotics within the general public, it is not something that will occur lightly.

A true engineer would want his work to contribute to public safety and wellbeing, not disregard them in the name of vanity.

I have said this in other threads: Herein lies the rub of USB-C: It isn't a universal logical interface, it is a multi-use physical connector. By overloading the port's logical functions you introduce incompatible physical configurations.

There are many potential reasons that an item could be put back in the improper spot on a shelf that does not induce a loss for the store nor is malicious by the shopper. Things very often get put back into the same shelf but a different position.

But what about this: What is to stop someone from pulling items out of other people carts?

And private police, private military, private customs & border security... You cannot live in a modern nation and not rely on services that are paid for by taxes.

Without the draw of getting the big audience of r/all I would not be surprised if communities like the_donald will start to stagnate if they had to move to voat.

I'm curious, so what do you do if the fine is never paid?

ETA: IS a non-bankruptable fne proportional if the fraud actually bankrupted many others? What if the consequence of the fraud on said victims then led them to further crimes which led them to a ruined life of pverty and squalor? Is a non-bankruptable fine still proportionate? What if it led to suicide, or armed robbery, or even murder...

And herein lies the rub of USB-C: It isn't a universal logical interface, it is a multi-use physical connector. By overloading the port's logical functions you introduce incompatible physical configurations.

Consumer convenience cannot be made at the expense of security measures and abuse mitigation, see: IoT.

The ethical argument for the adoption of artificial beef is always brought out during these stories. But they forget to mention that the lab grown meat only contains lean meat cells and in order to make it taste good they need to add animal fat. As in, fat from farmed and slaughtered animals.

That's not the point.

Here is what you can say about USB-A: * Ubiquitous; it is literally everywhere on this planet * Extremely cheap, reliable and easy to use * Not actually a competitor to USB-C/TB3 * Does not prevent the inclusion of USB-C/TB3 * Does not present packaging or legacy support issues

USB-C/TB3 is a great technology and I wouldn't want to buy a system without at least one port, but it is NOT a replacement for USB-A yet. USB-A will continue to be the most prevalent peripheral connector for long after these new MBP's are retired.

I will add: USB-C/TB3 is not exactly easy to use at this point. The convenience of using that same port for both protocols (TB3 and USB3.1) is introducing confusion. Not every USB-C port/peripheral is also a TB3 port/peripheral, this includes adapters and dongles. Additionally, the power options of USB-C/TB3 add another wrinkle: what hubs/docks/devices can provide enough power to charge specific devices? Not to mention that the current crop of USB-C/TB3 accessories don't always 'just work'[1]. Hopefully this will get better, but again it is not going to displace USB-A for a long, long time.

USB type-C/Thunderbolt 3 is a fantastic technology, but I guarantee you that USB type-A devices will still be around by the time these new USBC-only MBP's are replaced. Embracing the future at the expense of the present is not innovative or courageous, it is intentionally designed to sell more accessories.

I would be surprised if most of the vocal ones didn't still go out and buy one...

As someone who has been on MBP's for the last 7 years I recently jumped ship for 15" Dell XPS with Windows 10 and I am happy I did. However, that is because to me Win10 is now way more appealing than OSX. I hadn't updated OSX since Mavericks because there were exactly 0 new features that interested me. I don't have an iPhone/iPad/iEtc and I don't use the built-in OSX apps and it honestly seems like those two thing are all that Apple has cared about with OSX in recent years.

It wasn't easy to find a laptop with hardware that is acceptable coming from an MBP, it was a short list. But OS wise, Windows 10.1607 is, for me, way better than OSX at this point. IMO OSX feels dated, and toy-like compared to what Win10 has become. I was a heavy terminal user in OSX, like many dev's it was the *nix part of OSX that got me. But now with both the updated command prompt and WSL I don't miss the terminal, period. Also, Win10 virtual desktops already work better than OSX!

Disclosure: Canadian here.

Trump won because the Democrats railroaded their best candidate in favor of someone who is profoundly unlikeable and untrustworthy. Regardless of if she is truly a criminal, or not, the Democratic party choose a candidate who is under investigation by the FBI instead of a candidate that had real honest to god connection with the working people of the country. The voters have literally said that even Trump is better than what the Democrats have tried to ram down their throats this election. This election was lost, not won.

Trackpad, mouse, etc, is not a good comparable. Unlike a trackpad or mouse, the touch bar is a video display. Being a display implies visual interaction, and the lack of physical feedback will make 'touch typing' the touch bar difficult.

It seems like the transition away from professional users has been happening for quite some time on both the hardware and software fronts. Most new OSX features seem heavily tilted towards the home user, not the power user, and especially not developers. The question does become, who are these 'pro' machines really intended for now? The cynic in me says that Apple intends MBP's to be used to mainly create apps and content for iOS devices...

Think different... as long as it is well within the defined manufactures guidelines.

Just goes to show that selling App's in a walled ecosystem is NOT the exact same as building a software business. You lose so much control over your product, you essentially become commission-only contract software developers. Publishers have been pushing for this kind of control for a long time.

I have been on Macbook Pro's since 10.5 and I completely agree with GP. OSX peaked at Snow Leopard, there is no question in my mind. It seems like nearly every new feature in each OSX release now is something to do with iOS. OSX's software quality has been trending downwards for a while now, I don't think I am alone in that opinion. MBP hardware used to make the software issues less irritating, but even that is starting to feel hopelessly dated.

OSX has lost a lot of its appeal IMO, I am replacing my MBP this month with an windows machine.

USB3 'plug & stay' drives seem like a better option for expanding laptop storage than SD cards these days.

This seems to have taken place in July 2014, which is many months before the emails went missing (Mar. 2015). Even taking into account that he was apparently instructed to delete the email in Dec. 2014 (and forgot to), it still leaves a large amount of time between these two incidents.

To me there is no sport that better exemplifies this idea than curling. To the naive observer it just looks like sliding stones down a sheet of ice. But when you understand the game, and level that professionals are able to play at, the strategy and depth of thought involved is simply astounding. It is like chess on ice.

Having the /account/:accountid/transfer is not a terrible idea, but I would avoid it because the transfer resource is able to stand on it's own with making it tied to a single account resource.

The key point though is that 'transfer' is the resource to perform all three of the original deposit/withdrawal/transfer actions.

For the deposit/withdrawal/transfer set, depending on the specifics of how they are actually moving the amounts around, would likely be best served as their own resource. Since a deposit/withdrawal is just a transfer anyways, just having "/transfer" would be likely be good. The connotation here is that the client is creating a transfer on the server. The body for this request could take the relevant account numbers (you need two accounts), and the sign on the amount would denote if the amount is being deposited or withdrawn.

Why? What makes digital superior in this case? The headphone is universal and ubiquitous because it is a dumb (as in terminal) device. It works on $10000 stereos and $10 children's toys without needing to think about compatibility, protocols, or interface specifications because of that.

I have heard this before as well, but having rented cars in Maui many times I can't say that I have ever been told not to drive on certain roads.
