...which is somewhat undermined by the fact you can download any search engine you want... from the Play Store.
No, it's not. Defaults matter. Google are using dominance in the phone OS market to drive people to their other products.
The fact you *can* get around it doesn't not make it monopoly abuse. All sorts of perfectly reasonable things are not reasonable any more if you have a position of market dominance.
That doesn't go balls to the wall with social justice
They go balls to the wall with breaking every law they can find and some they can't.
What is amazing is that when we get an "uber breaks another law" story, there's a small number of cpaitalistas who defend uber on the grounds that anything done for money is legit and otheweise a general feeling of "yeah well it's Uber what do you expect".
Unless, it appears it's anything gender related, in which case people seem to fall over themselves to defend them. I tink there's a big case of double standards.
You do. You can discriminate against who you like as a private citizen.
If however you want to make an immortal entity which shields you from all liability then as an agent of that entity you can't.
What I want ot know is why you expect to be granted more power than a private citizen but not have to hold yourself up to higher standards while you're using it.
This is not insightful, it's stupid and at odds with reality.
Oh also: you're defending Uber here.
You know the company that breaks laws with an almost cackling glee. Given the masive history of "uber=breaking laws" what makes you think this one is sacrosanct to them.
You don't. You're just yet another in a long parade of people who simply refuse to accept that any discrimination agianst women might occur anywhere at all and will jump through the most incredible mental gymnastics to justify your "viewpoint".
I had a long point by point reply typed out but I deleted it because there's little point in engaging you in an actual debate:
and she was attempting to turn every discussion with her by a man into sexism on his part.
No that's you just flat out making shit up, again!
I'm done and I'm not going to engage with you further on this. No, that doesn't mean you've won, it means I've got better things to do than point out every single time you knowingly invent stuff.
Bullcrap. Cops use the "I smell marijuana" excuse to violate citizen rights on a daily basis.
It's double bullcrap because even if they did smell weed, then that's what the charge should be. Being guilty of one minor crime doesn't give the legal system to trawl through your entire life looking for evidence of absolutely anything they like.
So talking about something else entirely is something else entirely. Well done. I shall endeavour to remember that the only way to satisfy you in an argument is to guess which direction you want to veer off into.
Saying she was a bit rude is like saying Harvey Weinstein was a bit pushy when dealing with women.
Exactly YOUR experience. We're talking about the experience of female devs and you cannot accept they have a different expereince from you. Yes industry is full of dismissive wankers. The sort who will dismss someone else's expereince because you feel put upon. Kind of exactly what you're doing.
You don't have any personal esperience of being a female dev and neither AFAICT have you heard any particularly candid opinions from one that you trust t obe accurate.
A bit rude? Wow - talk about condemning with incredibly faint condemning.
So it WAS condeming. You have finally admitted that you simply invented a claim about AmiMojo.
Now on the more serious side, at least I can have a civil conversation with Animojo. You on the other hand, are pretty incapable of that sort of thing.
The T400:s are great machines, but neither my T430 with a SATA SSD or the newer ones my colleges at work have, touch my 2015 MPB in speed.
A laptop 3 years older, and substantially cheaper is slower? Well... yes. A good bit of the reason is the T430 probably has SATA, not NVMe, for the disc.
I've got a 2017 MBP for work and I'm not overly impressed, compared to other high end laptops of the same general vintage. The touch pad's OK I guess, but I'm not really a mouse heavy user (though the mac interface makes being so less easy than I'd like), and the keyboard is awful.
The difference is that a man who complained about it on the internet wouldn't get any support and would no doubt be shat on by the same people that defend female devs so much.
Nah that's just you inventing stuff to fit your preconceived notions.
OEM SSDs are notoriously overpriced (ie, the markup is HUGE) and they are notoriously the bottom of the line. That said, this seems to be about standard for an NVMe SSD running PCIe x4 over DMI.
True: and it more or less perfectly matches the measured benchmarks for the Samsung EVO 970.
Even if the "comparison" machines were using comparable hardware, the limitation is within the OS -- Windows cannot do I/O (of any type) with any efficiency whatsoever.
Yeah I was wondering that. Some of the benchmarked laptops were running at SATA-II speeds: my old linux laptop wiht SATA-II does 270MB/s happily.
Other engineers constantly over explain shit to each other, we're rehashing it in our minds so we don't forget, we're educating each other, we're puffing up our egos.
No. We rehash stuff, we don't explain the utter basics to someone we consider a peer. I've never had utter basics of my field explained to me, especially by some young'un at a conference (I ain't a young any more).
And yet every one of my female friends in tech areas and collegues with whom I've had conversations about the topic[*] have mentoned it happens repeatedly.
I'm not talking (say) going all motor mouth and over explaining two-phase lookup while chattng about C++20, I'm talking about explaining what a pointer is. To an industry veteran with 10 years experience. That kind of level of patronising.
[*] You have to be in a strong position of trust to have such conversations, mostly, because far too many guys react badly when they're told life isn't all roses and candy for women in tech.
Nearly but not quite good enough. The talking must be accompanied by a link in the video that's supposed to point to the screenshot but actually 503s. 404 isn't acceptable.
My work laptop also has SSDs, and it doesn't install Windows 10 into a VM that fast - and it's a Lenovo W530; not exactly a slouch.
You're on the wrong side of the PCIe attached storage divide. The W530 has a weedy 6Gb/s SATA-III interface (my W510 has weedier SATA-II). The good Samsung drives can manage about 5x SATA-III speed on writes and more on reads.
Actually looking that up, I notived that the benchmark for the supposed "fastest SSD in a laptop" almost exactly matches the Samsung 970 EVO drive benchmarks.
I could believe the 2.2GB/s sequential write speed, that doesn't sound outrageous. I just benchmarked a top end Carbon X1 (a number of months old now, can't remember how much) which is substantially lighter than the MBPs.
It might have an older gen SSD (not sure), but it happily gets 1.3GB/s sequential write speed. A factor of two improvement on disk for a larger, heaver laptop with a substantially smaller SSD doesn't sound outrageous.
$2500+ for something with a display only slightly larger than a tablet? No thanks.
You know as laptops for a given performance get smaller and lighter the price tends to go up rather steeply. And you don't get very light laptops with large screens.
Though it's still a mac so it still has a shitty keyboard.
Yes it seems like something of a rather tall claim, especially as there are luggable workstations out there with nvme storage. Plus what are those shiteboxes getting a paltry 270MB/s. My ancient laptop from 2010ish happily does that, which is close to the theoretical maximum of its SATA II interface.

. Too bad normal background checks don't cover international crimes.
It's Uber, dude: she PASSED the background check and you failed.
I wish we had freedom of association
You do. You can discriminate against who you like as a private citizen.

Which is pretty much what a phone contains now.
Also stop trying to just blat out "sjw" because it is currently the meme swearword in this thread.
Wow you sound like a real SJW for saying that. What about my free speech?
Taking the body of that woman's work,

Not remotely the same order of magnitude.

I've had many civil conversations with AmiMojo.
I am an asshole, I know and admit it.
Does that extend to simply making shit up to "prove" a point?
You can not find not fault in anything any female would ever do.
Oh, looks like a yes!
I'm surprised that you even went so far as "a bit rude."
So you even admit he foud fault but said he didn't anyway. You're weird.
Oh, cut him some slack. White knighting may be his only chance to get some poontang.
Couldn't you social justive warriors please learn what things like "white knighting" mean before using them?

That happens all the time to male devs as well.
Way less IME.

Completely untrue.
completely true.
Men get the majority of feedback
Well done going off on an unrelated tangent that sounds superficially similar. That's no indication you have an axe to grind, I'm sure.
because giving "completely gender-neutral" feedback to a woman is dangerous.
If you're finding that giving feedback to women is dangerous, the fault is with you and your feedback. I've never had a problem.
Nearly but not quite good enough. The talking must be accompanied by a link in the video that's supposed to point to the screenshot but actually 503s. 404 isn't acceptable.

No, I demand a SCRENSHOTTED pastebin. Nothing less will satisfy me.
