I'm a Slashdot user and don't feel the need to apologise for the fact that I like and use Apple equipment.
I'm also old and I've used a manual typewriter, as had many typists who subsequently moved on to electric typewriters. The throw and effort required for manual typewrites is significant and takes some time to get used to, not to mention the timing needed to avoid tangling the letter hammers. The iteration to electric typewriters was probably something of a compromise, keep the tiered design, find a more comfortable throw, but not too short to really put off people who are used to manual typewriters.
Move to where we are now, losing the tiered nature probably pissed a lot of people off, but was necessary for laptop design. Key throw and feel is something that an ergonomics study could easily confirm optimal design, although this may be subject to change over time. As for the butterfly keyboard, I'm with Gruber on this - the design is poor, both from a reliability and usability perspective.
As for testing, Apple needs to seed new designs to Slashdotters and anyone else who hates their equipment (I include creatives who are incapable of looking after any of their tools). This would ensure that the kit is properly abused, misused, eaten over and generally treated like crap before being released to the general public.
For shame! It would mean the end of BST - BRITISH Summer Time, BRITISH! And GMT - GREENWICH Mean Time! Them EUs want to take away our BRITISH GREENWICH!
As someone who was never a great fan of BST, I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine another expansion of that abbreviation.

I'd hazard that if one individual is worth 312x any other individual in the company it's pointing out a fundamental problem with the structure of your business.
Not a convention joke per se, but worthy of inclusion: I remember seeing this first in the late 70s / early 80s when my dad brought a copy home that some wag had put up near a new IBM or possibly TI box, recently installed at his workplace. Good enough to inspire my SlashDot username.

Put a new Samsung 850 SSD in a 2010 iMac yesterday and came across this issue. Checking it just now, the option seems to be in the View menu, select Show All Devices. Show Only Volumes is the default and if selected a new drive (with no formatted volumes on it) will not show up.
I can only hope that this default view gets changed in an update, on account of it being idiotic as it stands.
Whist I agree with the current range of TV sizes (at affordable prices) and normal viewing distances 4K UHD resolution is not a selling point, this misses some of the major benefits of the new format. These being wider colour gamut and high dynamic range (not to be confused with he hideous tone mapped images photographers have been calling HDR images). Even on a 42", those who have been fortunate to have seen native 4K UHD content on wide-gamut, HDR displays have been suitably impressed. The ability to display a wider range of colours and to have a wider range of brightnesses whilst still maintaining highlight and shadow detail is useful to creatives and will improve the viewing experience.

I would have loved to have read the LA Times article. Sadly, what I view as a very reasonable regulation has prevented me - GDRP strikes again.
