Ever since iOS has gotten all the love MacOS just doesn't seem to be as nice as it was before. If I am going to get a MacBook Pro. I want a portable workstation, with a portable Workstation OS not a half Desktop OS and Half mobile OS.
I haven't found a good OS for real work station work. Linux comes the closest. However it is still very Desktopy because it is trying to appease the grandma. Where it needs to appease people who wants to get real work done.
Well mostly it would mean just slightly redesigning the hinge. So it would flip back like a Yoga, or Swivel and turn around. or perhaps something more innovative. The fact their laptops don't have touch screens seems rather ridiculous being that they were the first company to introduce multi-touch technology to the consumer.
Well also the more you have the more you can lose.
This really isn't new. Back in the great depression much of this discussion of this as well.
"I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'" - composed in 1934 by George Gershwin "Folks with plenty of plenty.They've got a lock on the door. Afraid somebody's going to rob 'em.While there out (a) making more - what for"
However the law shouldn't had been such a blanket ban, but more targeted towards people who abuse the service. Stipulations such as a minimum living time, in the building by the owners say 200 days a year. Rules to insure that safety and equality measures are taken place as AirBnB does have a problem with people excluding minorities. In essence to make sure people who are using the service are not playing by a different set of rules.
While myself like a lot of people had moved away from Yahoo, it wasn't from disgust like I had with other site, but more to the fact that other sites just did the job better for me. The Yahoo Name isn't unredeemable however it will take a while to get the users back. And they have to be more than on-par with their competitors they will need to be superior.
They were Apple Rumors that OS X always had an Intel CPU port ready for deployment. Also rumors of iTunes for windows. And when hearing the rumors people dismissed it as why would Apple want to do that it would kill their market. Having iMessage for android could be a smart move. 1. It encourages a larger wifi network so there is more texting and less expensive coverage. 2. It gets Android users hooked on Apple products 3. Gets ready for a backup plan in case a catastrophic problem with iOS
Apple is a huge company it has the money to spend on projects that may not get released just to hedge its bets. The market changes rapidly vendors who offer critical components can get finicky. Apple is big enough and smart enough not to take abuse from vendors. They keep backup plans in their pocket in case of a problem.
Compared to Trump where fact checkers show him to be lying most of the time. Get over your self Hillary isn't perfect but Trum is just insane and pure pathological.
From what I have learned. This is also a problem of a different degree depending on where you would work. East Coast Tech is far more tolerant and welcoming than West Coast Tech.
Because often culture pushes them away from doing what their hearts wants them to do.
In high school how many boys will admit that they would want to be a Nurse? vs how many may had found a rewarding career as a nurse?
Society tell us that a Nurse is a Womans jobs so when choosing a career men may not even consider it. The same with Computer Science. It is said to be a man's job, so woman who may love such a career wouldn't even consider it an option.
Lack of diversity is a problem. When you get a bunch of people of the same background and walks of life, we create a culture where unique ideas just do not happen and they are discouraged. Causing the minorities of that field to feel even more isolated.
If the minorities are empowered just as much as the majority, you can find new ideas that haven't been though of before, just because someone with a different point of view was allowed to speak.
Technical solutions can be quickly changed and adapted to new methods. Legislative is a long process with many compromises in it.
Legislative would mean to push ISP's to be more proactive towards abuses from their customers. However what is considered an abuse vs innovative usage. Is downloading that Linux ISO via a turret to be be blocked because it is the same technology that is popular for piracy? The bad guys who will not stop doing illegal activities won't stop because it is more illegal.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean there isn't any repercussions from your speech.
There is a common misconception that just because you have free speech you can say what you want and your life should be unaffected from it. Sorry Speech is too powerful to be unaffected from such actions. Freedom of Speech is primarily to insure the at Government will not imprison you just because of your beliefs and if you feel such systems are wrong you should be able to speak up against them, without having the government try to silence you.
This doesn't mean your job is safe or your career in general.
Actually Nurses know what is going on much more than what doctors do. And often they are the smartest people in the room. Doctors worked hard for their title but not necessarily because of extreme intelligence. Just as long as you have average intelligence and the time and money to invest in med school you too can become a doctor. Most people who become Nurses (Many different levels) PA, NP etc... Do so because they rather be helping people, and not stuck in school.
There is never any love on Slashdot only temporary allies.
Unless a company sells a fully Open Source phone which is modular and allows personal hacking. However built in is everything including a 25pin Parallel port. As well at 1tb of RAM and 1eb of Storage. Battery Life 6 months without a charge. and All in a paper light and thin framework that can't be ugly.
Yet my old netbook cannot run at native resolution, or have the built in Wi-Fi work. I also needed to click on I am a bad person to choose non-GPL drivers to get my wi-fi to work on my latop.
Well it has been over 20 year and Linux still never caught up. In short Linux for the Desktop will never catch up to Windows, until the Desktop becomes financially dead. With XP staying past its welcome and Vista being such a bomb... What happened? Apple took over not Linux.
I use Linux for my main PC. And it is great... However to get people to switch it means a big investment on my part at being the Linux support guy. Because Linux for the Desktop assumes either the End User is very experienced or is a complete noob. There is a gap in the UI for people who needs to do complex things without having to go to the command line to do it. And type a list of a dozen commands to get there.
There are many simple reasons why this could be the case. 1. 32gig chips may be older chips. We had 32gig capacity iPhones for a while chances starting at the 3GS they may be still using the same chips from 7 years ago. Why use those old chips? Probably because they are cheaper then brand new 32gig chips. And people buying the 32gig model get so because they are cheaper.
2. Fragmentation iOS and your apps take up a lot of space. Small storage increases the chance of running into fragmented storage needs so duping that 4 gig will need to broken up a bunch of times to fit. While the bigger devices have free spaces in huge chunks.
3. Less then ideal driver. Being that most people will not be using their 32gig phone to store a lot of data. The driver/os may not be optimized for write speed or if using an older chip there may be extra error checking or error checking added to the 32gig chip driver.
Conspiracy everywhere logic is quite tiring. The closest to a conspiracy I have seen is mostly laziness in the organization who will stop and say that it is good enough to be released.
Chances are the smaller storage means they are using older storage. If you want to make the low end model more affordable going with an older slower component is a way to actually lower the cost.
The point was that they had some sort of exit plan ligned up. They just didn't quit in a huff. Because Apple did something they felt so strongly against that they needed to quit. But more to the fact, they had plans to move along. Apple decision just gave them an excuse to move forward.
However the real question how much in DNA would determine if a new-hire will or will not work out?
Problem 1: What makes a good leader? A good leader for company A can be a horrible leader for company B. It would even be different across many departments. IT Departments usually have well educated self motivated employees where the leader will need to make sure they are working in concert with each other, and their priorities are inlign with the institution. The Billing department may have lesser educated group who is just doing the paperwork and doing mostly the same thing all the time. A leader in that group will need to motivate that group and make sure they are actually doing their work.
Problem 2: No Risk No Reward. Classifying people as a good leader will remove the diversity of leadership types. By having a mediocre (safe) leaders you will weed out the possibly bad, or the possibly genius leader. Who's different style really causes a positive change.
Problem 3: Leadership homogeneity: Often highly motivated and aggressive people can put your company in political battles for power all the time.
Problem 4: Nurture side of the equation: Genetics only goes so far. You could be genetically prone to be shy, but you have learned to be outgoing. You may still be an introvert, but you can act like an extrovert when needed.
99.99% means about 1 hour (52 minutes and 33.6 seconds) a year. For your work place that may be good but Apple is needed by thousands of places and that down time may not be acceptable.
Don't forget to mention. Who work in an area where they can easily find a job elsewhere. I bet these guys had jobs ligned up before the "bravely" quit Apple. Rarely a whole department will quit at the same time. If the job really sucks you will see a migration where people quit over the course of months. Because normally before you quit you need an other job. Having Apple not join open compute sounds more liike the first intent to look elsewhere. Then the reason to quit. I expect they all just got picked up by some companies they found out they were all quitting at the same time so they used that as the reason for their exit interview.

What ever was the reasoning... Serif fonts are now considered the "Formal" font. so we now should be properly reproducing them.
The grand parent did prefix it with the statement with the word "essentially". Which removed the absolute nature of the statement.
Still for the segment of middle class to wealthy people there is a +\- two sigma from the mean chance that they will have an iPhone.

It is mostly due to Mathematical calculation vs. Visual observation.
The Planets part of the Solar System have been found using visual observation. A Dark planet so far away would be nearly impossible to find.
The Planets we found outside our solar system are from Stars that are having particular traits that that fit a mathematical model.
So just as how we found the mysterious 9th real planet basing the observation of the sun. Vs looking into the darkness to see if we find something.
If/When we do visually find it. I hope it isn't an upsidedown earth.
