get the 2015 mba, you would have been happier

stay 1 minor release behind major releases of apple hardware, you will be happiest

well said

why?

this is not as bad as it sounds, people can discover many other sources (also lower cost) of protein. perhaps this leads to decreased meat consumption, not at all a bad thing.

i'm interested. nrp can i reach out to you via email? what is your email?

This was a disappointing article on a few levels.

1) it doesn’t make a clear logical case for why manufacturing isn’t done by Apple (or many other companies) in the US, right now

2) it doesn’t give reasoning about why sotuation is unlikely to change, or if it does change, how it will not look anything like industrial-era factory labor manufacturing

3) it doesn’t explain that these realities have nothing to do with Apple, except that Apple finds these economic realities faster than other companies

4) it ends completey abruptly without drawing any real conclusion or thesis or adding any insight (based on solid reasoning)

The fact that Jean Louis Gassed can’t use a screwdriver has nothing to do with anything... Manufacturing of complex computer systems is complex, therefore requires many different competencies, said competencies must communicate to resolve challenges, and that in and of itself is hard. This hardness requires (literally) an ecosystem of skilled workers to address. Could Apple (or any other company) build such an ecosystem? Yes, if they did it from scratch early on, when the cost to build it was low because the ecosystem was relatively simple. But now, its not a simple ecosystem, and it would be painfully expensive to replicate.

It should be noted that there is probably a strong difference in the complexity (therefore difficulty) of manufacturing high tech products versus other consumer products like cars/trucks, general electronics. That difference is the velocity/pace of new features going to market, required to drive sales. Tech products literally compete on feature sets. Sales of cars and toasters and espresso makers can depend on many factors and so they are not constantly racing to update the product every 6-12 months. I could be wrong here, but I believe the conclusion that tech manufacturing is like all other kinds of manufacturing is baseless. And in fact, the fact that so much has moved to China is the strongest evidence that it can’t simply exist anywhere.

Can you comment on your post-MDMA weeks? Why/how were they an eye opener? Any more detail would be interesting to learn about.

One way is to pick off an easy bug or feature... even something as simple as update documentation or update a comment or a config file. In my earlier years, drinking coffee was warm up enough. Something that has been fun recently is to type in “hacking music” or “programmig music” into youtube.

Very cool!

I love this paper.

i just had a similar problem... saw the same thing while trying to commit. and was unable to commit.

I think your coursework-only MS needs to be further broken down into those programs that require a BS in CS and those that don’t. There are at least 3 types of MS in that sense. Without this distinction, your article is short-sighted, not realizing that there are actually many rigorous academic MS programs in CS that would not be doable by someone lacking deep knowledge already.

Erosion of the value of the MS is not isolated to CS.

Forget some universities eroding the MS, entire countries are eroding it. If im not mistaken, Italy is a massive supplier of MS degrees.

You should consider 2 “presses” for the pedal:

1) quick press-release: changes mode

2) long press-hold-release: changes mode on press and then changes mode back on release

This allows the user to not have to hold the pedal down if they dont want.

User can specify a time threshold used to determine the difference between a quick press and a long press

CFS is most likely "Candidasis". An overgrowth of candida bacteria/yeast in the gut.

This is very well known, and easily and cost effectively treatable.

Consistent overconsumption of processed sugars leads to candida overgrowth. The body addresses this naturally through inflamation. Prolonged inflamation yields depression symptoms, and a host of other things.

Google: candida

You can recover from this mostly in one night for $5 and fully in about 2 weeks for $30.

Ultimately these Stanford guys will try to design and patent an anti-inflammitory and it will cost you alot and not solve the problem. Address the source of inflammation.

Im surprised no one in this thread knows this and debate has wandered into little to no value.

If you are suffering from this, please please research candidasis or candida cleanse.

The title is probably wrong, off by one.

You probably mean 2^31 -1.

He is saying he is not qualified to talk risk/benefit of eating meat BUT REGARDLESS food/diet is the worst reason(in his opinion) to go vegan.

And I agree.

I found no contradiction in his statement.

There are better reasons to go vegan, and as repeatedly stated in thread, reason is important to sustaining the (any) path.

I think people may be more familiar with the word "compassion" than "Ahimsa" but I am not sure, and definitions of compassion range broadly.

I do believe there is a strong link between reducing suffering, compassion, and veganism.

It is VERY hard for me to listen to people try to promote messages of peace, love, freedom, compassion... if they are not vegan.

I did it within minutes.

Watch the film on YouTube: "Earthlings"

Try to watch it in a full sitting. You probably wont be able to, but try. Then walk to a mirror and look yourself in the face, and ask if you and this world are really real, that is, do your own version of a reality check.

Then you will see your proverbial red pill and blue pill.

Dont do it because you think you might lose a few pounds and impress some stranger at a beach. Do it because you want to deeply re-examine life and this world. Make it a life path for yourself.

Its either a difficult and impossible path OR its a trivially easy path, it all depends on your intentions.

Watch the film.

I have been vegan for several years.

It took me almost 2 years to watch the film in its entirety.
