My base 2019 macbook pro 15 on Mojave is actually faster than new macbook pros today on some tasks.

There’s no way Apple doesn’t know about that internally. So I don’t see any other explanation… other than a lack of care, or a bozo explosion.

Many people seemingly have trouble grasping that baselines can shift.

And then they get into mental contortions as to why getting 2x or 3x better in an absolute sense doesn’t budge the needle much.

This is such a bizarre decision that I’m curious who in the org chart made the call.

Isn’t it very ironic to post this under a pseudonym?

Which by definition contains some signalling that deviates from WYSIWYG.

The real curious thing is serious C/C++ folks seem like one of the least likely groups imaginable, to want to undergo humiliating and embarrassing blunders…

Yet they seemingly don’t mind that it practically guarantees them to make blunders over and over again.

I didn’t accuse you of downvoting. It’s literally not possible for HN users to downvote the comment they reply to.

Anyone with seemingly over 10k karma would know that.

Hmmm, so it sounds like the root cause isn’t really about “speed” at all… but something else?

For example, someone in a meeting saying things lacking credibility and everyone else just goes along with it anyways. Then it snowballs meeting after meeting.

Even after re-reading this comment, it still reads like gibberish. As if my example was half read, or not at all.

By definition, a billing department of a utility has to be able to “marginalize”… in order to function.

There’s literally no other way I can see for it to work.

Since my old reply was flagged, this now seems like coordinated trolling.

I really doubt you are genuinely incapable of understanding what “regulated electricity utilities” or “expected to provide service” means.

Huh that is an interesting metaphor. A next higher layer printing press?

This doesn’t make sense?

How does “freedom” relate to an electrical utility deciding whether to cut service?

Isn’t that… life?

Even literal regulated electricity utilities aren’t expected to provide service to every last marginal customer.

For example, a poor old grandma missing many electricity bill payments usually will see leniency if she is polite, the utility eventually won’t try to collect cash anymore and instead put a lien on the home while continuing to provide service.

But if the billing department receives multiple threats from her, then they may just cut the service.

There are a lot of fake people who claim they highly prioritize data security but in fact do not…

Huh? Wouldn’t their prestige be improved if some other group spent a lot of effort improving on it?

That would clearly demonstrate it had real substance beyond hot air or puffery.

Anyone on HN can also opine that user “BizarroLand” is such and such?

On who is in fact the jerk falsely accusing someone else, and so on.

If you genuinely can’t grasp the fact that other HN users can say things about you with equal or greater credibility… then I would feel sorry for you.

But it still seems more likely to be weirdly disjointed trolling.

I’m not going to stop you from burning your account and getting banned, that’s your choice.

Are you confused?

Everyone can literally read what you wrote… and it bizarrely focuses on a nonsensical point.

It’s not like the comment is hidden.

Plus trying to accuse someone else of what you are doing is easily seen through, so if your not using AI, then it just flat out seems like weird trolling.

What? Is this AI written?

The point of the reply clearly wasn’t about pointing out a weird username.

But about the possibility of random opining having zero or non zero value.

If random opining is worth any more than zero on HN… then can’t anyone else, also opine that they have more “soul” than ”mrbukkake”?

What planet are you living on?

Homeowners are generally legally liable for anything that occurs on their property, especially if it can affect neighbouring properties to any provable extent.

There are carveouts and exemptions, but that isn’t a magical deflector shield.

So it doesn’t take a huge imagination to see how it could have negative externalities.

I heard the clearance rate for arson in most jurisdictions in southern Italy is some incredibly low number.

Even brazen arson in densely populated urban cores has clearance rates well under 50%… and there’s no significant momentum to address that, so effectively the people of Italy have given up a long time ago.

I know that?

How is it relevant when clearly nobody thinks this is some kind of “controlled scientific experiment” in disguise?

Huh?

How does having their own place away from the “unwashed masses” relate to overturning the big platforms?

This would implicate close to 100% of American firms and most of the adult population?

If they are clearly misusing a system (SSN) never designed nor intended that way. And continue to do so even after being shown the facts.

So then why are so many, so eager and committed, to overturn the big platforms if “most people”… “have nothing interesting to say.”?

Maybe some decision makers do indeed have negative aspirations…

It would be very strange for Apple’s legal department to send out formal letters filled with claims on a lark.

You do realize that means the stuff you see is not that important right?

Or do you think literally every such piece of paper has identical importance and priority?

Because there’s no reason to automatically assume the USA stopped using the great seal on the most formal stuff?

That doesnt make sense as an example. Nearly everyone on HN would be aware of the great seal of the United States?

That all formal diplomatic letters are still sealed with to this very day, without exception.

Maybe it’s just a mental shock that HQ would demand that level of formality for more mundane things?
