I bet you've heard the saying "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" . That's what Apple is. You can be a "fan" of the one-eyed man without believing everything he makes or says is awesome.

Only because Apple's track record so far is a lot better than Asus' or other OEMs in terms of not adding novelty or gadget-y features to their pro products.

As with most Asia-led "novelty" features on electronic devices, this looks like a "because we can" feature rather than a "because it's useful" feature.

I agree. I immediately associate this with "show-off computing", which would probably look good on brain-dead TV shows about l33t haXors or "Anonymous" documentaries..but what's the point of slowing down your termin

Thank you. I think I'll try to get the most out of Clickhouse, also because of the extremely ease of maintaining it and keeping it running.

What would be a good self-hostable solution to replace ES aggregations? I'm also quite fond of Clickhouse which is a lot faster yet, but the sheer number of products which have popped up in the last decade always makes me wonder if the

I'd say (fulltext) search is one of the least interesting features of ES, and the aggregations are its USP. E.g. moving averages on (biggish) datasets can be calculated on very cheap hardware.

Yes, this is how I use it, too. But we're not like the majority of users who use it like Radio - just picking a popular playlist or "radio" from the Spotify start page, and letting it play for hours on end. That's why th

Besides the algorithmic recommendations, there's a big and increasing amount of Payola on Spotify (as well as the streaming services from Apple, Amazon, etc.) Payola in the digital world is not blatantly done like in radio where you in

What worse stuff could have been said at the time, though? His "followers" thought of him as a noble leader free of any moral ambiguity. The direct opposite is a cold-blooded murderer who murders out of greed. If the CIA tried to

He didn't get that, I guess.

I would think so, and it gets harder for them due to globalisation and countries working together economically (well apart from Russia maybe) - because back in 1949, China, Korea and Japan were basically impenetrable black boxes for most pe

Extremely interesting to see how the CIA works, in 1949 they didn't have to be as believable as now - it's obviously a smear job in how it tries to paint him as a murderer and lowly thief only out to get money. It's no wonder

I only ever hear complaints from far-right people who want their speech to be free-er than other people’s or entities.

Unless somebody disassembles it and reverse engineers all embedded code, we can't be sure this is not a Trojan horse from Russia. Wouldn't put it past them. Definitely not something I'd import into my country.

So this is a device for the Mr Robot crowd as I suspected.

How though when any interesting wireless target uses encryption?

Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that more than 1% of buyers will use this for anything else than changing channels on TVs displayed at Walmart, and feel like Mr Robot for a few minutes.

Katakana lettering, pixel art, retro-design...is this thing aimed at the "We're anonymous" - "Mr Robot" - "Jack Rhysider" l33t HAx0r type of "hacker"? Or is there actually anything clever about i

How can anyone plan their future if their work situation is so insecure, i.e. have a family, get a mortgage, etc.?

OK, apology accepted. To address your url, I am not sure how the disastrous execution of the Berlin airport construction is a counterpoint to my claim that there is very little legal work going on here (and surely other EU countries) withou

Maybe I should have said "as a person being used to German standards of doing business", would that have made you less defensive?

The shirtless men were optional. But curating a selection of photos out of a bigger amount of photos is creative work, I'd say.

Maybe this is already the best we can hope for? Soon it will be a choice between overlayed captions on Tiktok-Videos, or zero eyeballs.

Not at scale, but the question is, do you really need to scale?

It's the age-old battle between investors and entrepreneurs wanting to make crazy money and creative people just trying to make enough to live somewhat comfortably. It's also happened in the brick and mortar world, when American i

Whatever society or country will realise first that they have to raise their youth so they will be able to withstand the lure of social media, regardless what company makes it, will become the leading society in the world in 50-100 years.

Rings true. They wrap their ideas into "joke-y" memes to test the waters.
