For a second I thought you meant the 2013 Macbook Pro and I was wondering what the hell you were talking about.

You can keep posting the guidelines all you want. I don't bother trying because I know that you will just pop up with the word "unsubstantive" for anything you don't happen to personally think is good.

Hopefully this lets Apple move back to making great devices that look great, instead of devices with seriously compromised performance in exchange for being very slightly more thin.

Why would anyone ever trust a goddamn thing you have to say about their data?

Unless they pay your salary and are asking you to give your expertise on hoarding and abusing user data, obviously.

Vancouver has used buses that can get overhead power for a long time.

If it wasn't an exaggeration then I would think they apologize for the inconvenience and pay the guy back. 0.01% would mean 1 in 10000 have an issue.

I'd be absolutely shocked if they don't have a mandatory arbitration clause.

> Governments don't give up control without bloodshed.

You say that like it's a bad thing?

none of those require google to be around.

Far as I'm concerned, if this happens it becomes the duty of every person to destroy these sensors and destroy the ability to deploy new ones.

Facebook gets to control money, Google gets to control cities.

Seems fair and totally reasonable.

Another article about how hard it is doesn't mention the hardest part of all.

Getting to a place where you will ever get a chance to work on this stuff.

I tried joining a team working on it. Figured I wouldn't get to do a lot, but it was a foot in the door sort of situation.

By the time I quit I had managed 7 months without doing a thing, and 3 more where I wasn't even trying anymore.

Meanwhile the guys who built the thing all got pulled to work on the next big thing. Maybe they were just amazing engineers.

Maybe getting hired out of college and putting right onto a massive distributed systems project is the only fucking way to ever get your foot in the door.

I'm not gonna let this article ruin my day. It's pointless. I can think about how colossally fucked my career is on monday.

Unsubstantive == dang don't like it.

Worst moderator I've ever seen. Seriously, you are just atrocious.

Being able to sleep properly is a health issue. I've had jackhammers outside my window at 6 am. It sucks.

Must suck for anyone who was trying to get to work while he was shutting down transportation for weeks.

> He's brought the hammer down on the WMATA union

Ahh, that hero crushing the working class.

By being close to DC and thus having easy access to government.

Do people really think Amazon really left it up to chance? Then that chance just somehow worked out to right next to DC and the biggest talent hub on the East Coast.

Sure, I'll buy that to go with my new bridge.

> that is causing those who've been disadvantaged the same privileges that white males have enjoyed alone for much of recent human history

No. Black people can't own slaves. They aren't going to get to profit off centuries of colonial oppression. They aren't going to get to be the only enfranchised people in the country.

They won't even get to enjoy the comfortable middle class lifestyle that persisted until the late 20th century.

You can still get away with that if you just dress it up a little.

Right sorry, I forget that you’re a humorless douchebag who considers anthing that crosses the line into sarcasm to be unacceptable.

Worst moderator I’ve ever seen. Honestly, just god awful.

> The government can easily solve that through taxation if it so chooses.

Except the billionaires pay millions to ensure that doesn't happen. The system is corrupt by design.

And yet those who risk the least walk away with the most.

Because they gambled well.

What risk? They are slightly less rich?

Vs putting up years of your life, working hard, dealing with the stress of an early stage company, and then walking away with what you would have made working at a big company anyway.

Right, and a small number of people grow ever more absurdly rich.

While others starve.

Society should not allow billionaires.

This is a bad thing. It's the rich getting even richer off the labour of workers. It's an increasing small circle.

They aren't some visionary geniuses who went and founded lyft. They are just guys with money who know the right people.

This looks great.

If only we hadn't foolishly allowed them to exempt us under teh fair labour standards act.

This is a Quebec bill.

Would be like talking about an Illinois bill as an "American bill".

I learned a lot and I got a better job.

Ahh, a nice anti-education rant for HN to do the usual anti-college back and forth. Bonus points for focusing on technical schools as good, because you can actually get a job.

Ban the humanities, right?

I liked school. It was valuable. I have a better job because of it. I didn't spend absurd amounts of money to go.

> I've found it interesting that the supposed "bad guys"

Friend, if you aren't willing to condemn the white supremacists as the bad guys I seriously question your decision making.

There is zero value in maintaining this veneer of both sides being in any way the same.

> The latter is still a deeply held belief

and I need to kill the <undesirable group> isn't sincerely held?

I think you have to believe pretty sincerely to be radicalized to the point of committing murder.

> Regardless of how we feel about it, everyone has the right to feel love or hate or superiority.

Why? I was perfectly happy living in a society where that was not the case. Where freedom of expression is guaranteed, rather than absolute freedom of speech. It's not flawless, but it's better than nazis murdering people all the damn time.

Quit apologizing and just make a machine that is built with reasonable engineering instead of thin above all else.
