Your justification on why Saudi Arabia can have nuclear power (with safeguards) also apply to Iran
Must be nice to live in such ignorance, of the thousands of enrichment machines Iran has expressly for building nuclear weapons, an effort which by the way they have been engaged in before and after the nuclear deal, while allowing no inspection of most facilities.
Or is it going to be iOS applications running on Mac OS ?
The Marzipan effort is entirely about allowing you to use IOS frameworks for Mac apps.
with all the small-screen, touch interface, single task, single window restrictions of iOS design in the Mac OS app
What the hell man.
The iPad screens are already fairly large.
Yes the UI is touch but also keyboard, or perhaps you forgot that?
iOS apps are far from "single task", and on the iPad support things like side by side apps with a floating window playing video from a third... in reality internally iOS has never been single-task, but a fully multi-tasking system.
So Marzipan apps on a Mac would be no more "single task" than any other desktop app.
I have an iPad pro and I've tried working on it. I'm using a Mac and not an iPad because the iPad is no use for serious, creative work.
I have both as well and prefer photo editing on an iPad, because its way better to have a direct use tablet with a stylus for that task.
Some people prefer writing on iPads because the writing UI really does take over the whole screen.
For other things I prefer the desktop but there is nothing I would not love to be able to do on an iPad as well, and have that choice...
Something you do not seem to have considered, is that as Marzipan is built out, people will clamor for some desktop abilities in those apps, which may flow back and improve the iPad. Wouldn't that be useful? Do not fear change...
It assumes (A) it didn't take any energy to spin a physical disc (vinyl or plastic), and (B) that lots of songs you play a lot are not cached, and therefore take almost no energy to play.
I was disappointed in Trump also when I read a headline saying he was giving them nuclear weapons.
But when I read the actual details, as per usual the fact is Trump is doing nothing wrong and giving someone access to clean nuclear power is quite a lot different from giving them nuclear weapons. Especially Saudi Arabia which is one of the more responsible nations in the region (yes even AFTER assassinating a kind-of journalist, they are one of the better ones!).
I think Trump has pretty piss poor performance in the middle east policy.
Based on what? He's the first president in ages that has other arab countries stating to side with Israel, and in addition helping defend the region from Iran. Trump has not started any wars there and avoided much expansion into Syria, unlike Obama who destroyed Libya with Hillary Clinton's help - a peaceful nation that I was planning to visit before they fucked it up beyond hope of salvation.
Learn to read yourself. This is about (A) nuclear power, as the summary notes, and (B) my own personal observation that everyone complaining now was very, very quiet when we were giving money to Iron to help support a much more direct nuclear power -> nuclear weapons route.
It's fine if you want to complain now about Saudi Arabia getting nuclear weapons - as long as you were complaining then.
Personally I am on the fence about SA getting nuclear weapons, but I still support helping them obtain nuclear power plants with oversight. At least they would ACTUALLY let us monitor, unlike Iran.
The quickest way to end global warming is to spread the use of nuclear power.
If you are against nuclear power, you are for global warming. That is simply all there is to it.
So we have the strange dilemma, that Trump is greatly supporting the efforts to fight global warming, and all liberals are now opposed... the same liberals who wanted to give Iran access to nuclear weapons and the funds to develop them.
What wall fell through? So far plans are still full steam ahead to build the border wall with Mexico.
It's far from a vanity project, it's a project as others stated that is inevitable, may as well start now.
Laugh all you want but in fifty years the use of the Space Force will be obvious. Even if nothing else, to think of it like a cost guard which does a lot more than guard coasts.
This idea is of course really similar to Google's 10% do what you want idea - except it's specific to a day. One day a week, you can work on whatever you want.
Maybe that means you just catch up on professional reading or courses. Maybe it means you work on a side project. Maybe it even means you do regular work that you just really want to move along more.
I feel like having this option or break, would have nearly as much of a benefit for happiness and productivity as just a day off , and additionally give the company a huge unexpected and unquantifiable return. It would also build company loyalty a little more than just a mere day off.
Because the T2 chip blocks access to the internal SSD when the security level is set to off,
I thought you could disable secure boot on the Mac, which should let you install any OS you like on the internal SSD...
I fully admit I've not tried that though so it could be there's some other aspect to that I did not know about. But this article sure makes it look like that setting has the effect of letting you boot into Linux on a T2 Mac.
I can't believe they canceled a comic with such marketing potential.
If I were in charge of DC I would not only have NOT canceled this comic, I would have made a special edition cover with sun-man in gold foil, Jesus in silver foil, and in big letters proclaimed it to be the "Blasphemous Solarity Edition". Probably only 500k run at first just to be a bit safe, charging $20 a pop. You'd sell 100k copies just to the people who wanted to burn a copy on YouTube alone!
In fact that brings to mind ANOTHER brilliant idea, an even more limited edition that contained strontium nitrate particles embedded in the cover that would cause the whole thing to burn with a brilliant red flame! Those would go for $50 and would look AMAZING being burnt in disgust on YouTube, and you could save on production costs by not even printing the insides.
Especially "to the left" which always implies 'forward' to me...
I agree with you, but I can see the thinking where they think you are pushing thing backwards.
It almost seems like they need a setting that most games have, "invert look" where anyone who set it would be able to swipe towards the right to go back.
Since from that adaptor you can use DisplayPort, you can use any 5k monitor that has DisplayPort. Some may require both DisplayPort cables to be connected (see first link I posted as it talks a little about that).
I try to travel with an iPad too when I can, but I'm a consultant who has to work on site sometimes - for that I prefer a larger portable screen, which is what I really liked the 17" for (though I have to admit I also did my fair share of international travel lugging the 17" around and you are right that it weighs a LOT!).
That 's a good point, maybe they would pretty much keep the existing form factor and just increase screen as much as possible - that makes more sense than building out the case size much.
And just what Mac will be able to run such a thing without having shedloads of problems?
If you use DisplayPort from any modern TB3 Mac, you can drive any 4k display at 60FPS.
I never had any issues even using my older 2013 MacBook Pro (with discreet GPU) on an LG 4k monitor using DisplayPort adaptors. Certainly no flickering.
Not that I'm saying Apple couldn't stand to improve GPU drivers, mind you. Just saying there are ways to use 4K displays more reliably.
I have long awaited the return of the 17" Macbook Pro ever since Apple stopped selling them - mine is still used to this day every day for work in my house.
The 15" I have been using primarily is fine as it has the same resolution, but I really missed the physically larger screen of the 17".
With Apple's reduction in bezel sizes the new 16" should have about the same screen size as the old 17" in a slightly smaller form factor.
The only downside to having a larger laptop is a surprising number of bags or laptop compartments are optimized for the 15" laptops, and may not even fit a larger laptop - maybe the 16" can squeeze into a few bags the 17" could not.

More like literally nothing you will not misunderstand.
You mean Pesky Pirates Probably Pruned Precipitously?
He's giving nuclear technology to a nation that hates Israel
I guess you are kind of behind the times, Saudi Arabia has had a bit of a leadership turnover and now at the prompting of the U.S. supports Israel.

Macs do support 5k/60Hz, you are right that you use thunderbolt but only insofar as you need to get a thunderbolt3 to dual DisplayPort adaptor.
Since from that adaptor you can use DisplayPort, you can use any 5k monitor that has DisplayPort. Some may require both DisplayPort cables to be connected (see first link I posted as it talks a little about that).

I hate to break it to you but that's not how screen sizes are measured.
True, I forgot that was really referring to screen size and not the laptop dimensions itself
Still should have a decently larger physical display in a substantially smaller physical package than the older 17".
It will be the glued-shut, no-port, soldered-everything version of the old 17" MacBook Pro
That seems very unlikely given what they did with the iMac Pro, and even the MacBook Pro updates - more ports and some flexibility in expansion.
I am even fine with all USB-C ports, as long as there's four or so. In a larger form factor they will probably include more ports.
And just what Mac will be able to run such a thing without having shedloads of problems?
