You can argue that an illegal thing should be legal without inciting people to do it while it's illegal. Under your reasoning, any act of inciting violence could be dismissed as "discussion".

There's probably not a clear line in every instance. Whether you think "praise and support" crosses the line, it would be pretty hard to claim it made things better, and pretty easy to see how those words, from the most powerful person in the country, might make a person more likely to continue doing whatever it is they're doing.
My iphone indexes photos and labels all the ones with dogs in it. I don't care how this system works and likely the answer is some black box NN. Why should this system be shut down when it causes no harm and works pretty well?
> I can't imagine websites doing anything but dropping screen reader users into a separate experience; rather than doing the work to design for accessibility in all their experiences

I agree with this. I will say that developers who are 100% unwilling to entertain changes to their "main" UI to accommodate accessibility are in the clear minority. But even the most well-meaning devs and designers will ask questions like, "could we just do this for screen reader users ...?". It's a slippery slope from there, with technical debt, legacy implementation and ghetto user flows all the way down.
You could have taken a very similar video in parts of Melbourne during our (successful) lockdown with people sitting at the beach or walking around the parks, it made no difference to the elimination effort. The only major changes I see are far fewer people wearing masks and being nighttime (if UV has any benefit). Outdoor transmission is very low risk.
All posts on FB are non-public.
Does seem so. It's the message when the subreddit's moderators set it to invite-only.

A block looks like https://www.reddit.com/r/the_donald

Afaik https://www.reddit.com/r/conservative with 600k members is the most visited GOP-leaning subreddit.
I agree that it was disappointing, but I give him an A for effort. Even though the idea didn’t really work out, I thought the video had some interesting information, like the part about building a custom mount, having to change a setting to enable photos without a lens, and the lighting.
Message of de-escalation? Did you watch the video? One moment he says to go home, the next he says the election was stolen in an unprecedented action against him.

At best it's a mixed message. If you're telling people that the election is actively being stolen, what are your expectations for their response exactly? That they say "aw shucks" and go home?
> the dollar store has agreed on a level of quality

The problem is that "agree on a level" and "lowest cost" are fundamentally opposite goals which require constant outside monitoring.
So we o my simple mind Gross Margin is the Expected Annual Revenue from a customer, minus "everything but the price paid for acquisition (ie google ads)" - leaving the per customer acquisition cost as the point the article is making.

I mean, if you have high gross margins then you have low per customer acquisition costs - which has been the whole point of most articles on Saas Slow ramp of death for the last decade.
Additionally, file systems allocate in blocks, so the actual amount of storage is based on number of blocks and isn’t just offsets of bytes.
Except for the dial (some Mercedes had it) and voice, I've tested the rest and found them highly convenient, actually.
Thanks for the info. Makes complete sense to require a PIN with resident keys, I'm glad. Now I'll need to write the article myself, with this information included :)
This is certainly an great read, and working on it must have very interesting. That being said, in my experience things like these are invariably technical band-aids over social problems. Whenever I see things like this, often paired with statements like “there’s so many screens and feature flags”, usually the problem is not there but actually in many other processes: for example, the design team adds assets in a way that is not enforced by the usual tooling that checks binary size, or the build process adds duplicate files into the bundle that nobody notices. Sometimes the underlying issue is hard to fix, like if it’s code size explosion due to a custom templating engine, but they really should get addressed at some point. Changes like these don’t actually solve the underlying issues, which can be a benefit for a while, but eventually they become so complex that it is hard to maintain them and they start impacting productivity in harder to measure ways by doing things like increasing build times and reducing the quality of debugging information.
The latest S-Class pretty much just has a giant touch screen in the center, I'm not so sure if I buy the just a fad argument [0]. If you don't know much about cars, S-Class is the standard other car manufacturers aspire to when it comes to tech, FSD notwithstanding.

I don't want your down votes believe me I don't like them either, but the truth is touchscreens are cheaper than having a million buttons that break all the time, you can push a software update to fix bugs or heck even upgrade the entire UI if you wanted to. If you're a car manufacture why would you ever look back?

That’s because the 6 is the old/current 6 with the old nav/infotainment whereas the CX-5 is new. Once the new generation mazda6 comes out I assume it’ll get updated to the new dash/infotainment.
Fiverr is excellent for very tight well defined projects.

There must be something that Fiverr is doing to incentivize the freelancers to deliver quickly. They are very fast.

I have yet to work on a complex project. What I would do would be to take tiny starting points of the complex project and test it with a few of them.
I'm also sure the coronavirus wants us to anthropomorphize it in this way.
> Chrome won't remember your activity. That doesn't mean Google won't if they know who you are for some other reason.

This has always kinda bugged me. I don't know what the hell I was doing yesterday at 13:42, but chances are Google does. Likewise, my phone company (and by extension, the government) knows where I was at any given moment in the last 15 years.
You realize that this is a site full of entrepreneurs, who are here to talk about the business aspects of these links, right? If not, I'd recommend re-reading my comment in that light.

As a product company, having somebody actually on your website and interested in finding out about your thing is extremely valuable. It doesn't matter that it's technically possible to find a link to the homepage. The fact that it's not trivial, as in linked from the logo, is what we're discussing here.

If you have a blog about your product, every post needs to contain a way to ensnare random visitors who stumbled in from wherever. The ideal way to do this is a prominent sidebar or header with the product name, a 5-word description of what it does and why you need one, and a big shiny button labeled with your call to action.

That's the "product blogging 101" bit that I mentioned above. That's why these guys need to fix their blog. They're bleeding interested visitors, and that's a big deal.
> I think he found a way to get into a college that he'd otherwise be unable to attend.

So, theft is technically "hacking" if you are unable to make a given amount of money?
That's because the parser isn't optimized for compressed CSS.

This is a decently thought-out article, but it's important to remember that programming language design is as much an art as any other form of programming if not moreso.
That's a very one sided view. It assumes the employee always means well and is super motivated to adapt and change. Or even capable of changing. When all that stops being true, it's usually quite obvious. The mistake is allowing such a situation to continue to exist and not intervening. Every dysfunctional team you've ever been on, that's what happened.

As a manager/supervisor/mentor, I've coached more than a few people to success to know that I'm actually objectively good at this. Quite a few people I've worked with have gone on to be extremely successful in what they do. And I like to think I helped them on that path a little. But there are exceptions to this where indeed I failed to get people off their ass and improve themselves. A handful of those situations escalated to the point where letting them go was the next logical step. Some people are just fundamentally hard to coach or even open to being coached.
I think you might misunderstand how courts work. It’s very much humans making decisions, not computers.

> meant that you could not, like, copy files off a server in the EU to a computer in the US, but you could sit in the US and access a computer via Remote Desktop in the EU to do the same work.

All of this still makes a huge difference when the cops show up with a search warrant.
I could understand Stack Overflow blocking access to register/signup for Tor users to avoid abuse, as sometimes spammers use Tor, so that kind of makes sense.

But not allowing Tor users to not even read the website? What's the justification for that? You couldn't even perform DDOS over Tor as the network speed is too slow, so Tor activity can't even be a blimp in terms of usage activity for logged out users, so what's the deal here?
brouhaha go bad. Why are you writing an add function when 1 + 1 will do?

I mean I know there's better examples out there, but in practice I've not missed a lack of generics in Go yet. Mind you, I'm not writing libraries for e.g. json parsing.

Actually there is one place in my application where I use interface{}, it's a bit of code that converts values to XML strings, but it needs different logic for different types. I don't think generics will solve that: https://go.dev/play/p/TtwyNZ7oOPx
Yeah, I guess the argument that there are posts about the school on Facebook, but I doubt the ad reviewers go that deep other than the content of the ads standalone. Probably doing a very narrowly defined task.

Kinda reminds me of those posts people copy and paste as a status update claiming to amend the terms of service. Well, that's not how things work, but secondly, I'm pretty sure Facebook never actually reads that post unless it's reported as spam or abuse. So I think just because someone posts something on FB, doesn't mean the company had knowledge. Then even if someone does flag a post, probably a set of guidelines to follow based on the content and community standards instead of doing an analysis of the finances.
Buying waterfront property in the great lakes region of the U.S. seems like a good bet.
I remember Jennicam. It wasn’t porn, but people watched it in the hope that some day porn might break out.

Looking back, anyone could have predicted that live streaming technology would eventually be used for porn, but what really surprised me was that the actual killer app of live streaming turned out to be watching people play video games.
Unfortunately, Smalltalk is basically dead to mainstream programmers (and the image concept never played well with others anyway), so their choice is between safety (Java) and better method dispatch (ObjC).
After 9/11?

ah, these arguments are giving me fond memories of wanting to pull my hair out back in 2003.
And don't forget that the US' allies were all saying "Just wait a few months until the weapons inspections agenda is complete, then we'll all go in as planned and sanctioned by the UN". No, the US had to accelerate the timetable, replacing "worthless weapons inspections" with Powell's equally worthless poster project showing "structures".
Following this line of reasoning to its extreme (if impractical) conclusion - a world in which missile launch codes cannot be secret would very quickly become a world without missiles. You don't knowingly make or keep a weapon that you cannot control, you destroy it before it can be used against you.
I find the main benefit of project-specific site-package directories is simply that it's easy to see what my project depends on and what it doesn't. If everything's mixed together in the global dir then it's not always obvious. This becomes important when you want to deploy your project somewhere other than your personal PC.

It's also very useful for managing different versions of packages - e.g. I can upgrade to the latest Django for one project without risking breaking all of the others.

Having said that, I install the stuff that I consider to be "core" globally - for me that's primarily numpy, but also a handful of others.
I didn't downvote you, and I also didn't say they didn't innovate. Rather, modern German innovation rarely takes the form of transformation, more of incremental innovation.

I can't think of any modern industries revolutionized by German companies. Automotive saw a steady stream of good innovation no doubt, but hardly very transformative.
Depends on if you classify nearly any possible change ever as 'dire'.
Meh, this is a straw-man. Conventionally rejecting overridden -> and () operators is a very long reach from ending up back at C. Disallowing operator overriding in general (as opposed to specific operators), namespaces, and classes would be much closer, and it still wouldn't be all that close to C (reinterpret_cast, templates...) There is a goodly sized amount of gray area between the two. Or did you mean your "things like that" to be much broader than my interpretation?
RIM is Canadian.
> The SCO lawsuits were brought over (wholly invented) claims that Linux contained copyrighted code "stolen" from source code that SCO claimed to own.

Even if that claim was true, SCO would[1] still have lost, because SCO itself (under the name Caldera) had distributed the Linux source under the GPL, thus giving anyone the right to use it under that license.

1: or at least, should, in any sensible jurisdiction. IANAL.
I think I might just have got the concept of a conservative newspaper. The idea is to never shock your readers with anything out of the ordinary.

This is anecdotal evidence from a small (2) sample. But not all doctors die without treatment at home. Some (many?) are aware of the drugs they need to hasten their demise in a way that minimises their suffering. One doctor I discussed this with said that assisted suicide, in a very limited and measured way, isn't uncommon, if you know what to look for.

As someone with a degenerative incurable condition, I'd like the option of being able to make informed decisions about the end of my life, beyond just refusing treatment. Because spending years dying of starvation (as MS campaigner Debbie Purdy recently did, because she was unable to cope with her symptoms, and there was no other legal recourse to help her die), doesn't fill me with excitement.

We have an insane attitude to death in our culture at the moment. We seem to want to find any way to avoid the fact that being alive has a 100% mortality rate. I think our collective attitude needs to change. And the more articles like this the better.
>We trust them anyway

Much of that trust is based on the fact it is a felony, not what could just be an internal slap on the wrist.
Ya they are little costlier, but it is the case with almost all laptops. We have to pay a little extra.

It would be entirely possible for SpiderOak to be compelled to store this key for the government. Once you hand over your private keys to anyone, you've lost control.

For things like files Alfred does have verbs.

examples:

find report.pdf - opens directory in finder

Take a look around in the preferences, while it doesn't have all the features of Quicksiver, you'll be surprised.

It usually doesn't make sense to invest 10K hours in something that you rarely do. And if you want to do something as a professional , it usually make sense to choose a field in which your innate talents could be useful , just because jobs are competitive , and people with better innate talents could improve much faster.

So in real life, capable professionals usually have some innate talents. But it doesn't have to be specifically ux design talent. maybe a talent in fast learning , and grasping complex stuff could be used. maybe a deep natural empathy you have with users.
Some bloggers in the United States persist in blaming these outcomes on the ethnic diversity of the United States (ignoring the ethnic diversity of Singapore and other countries that outperform the United States).

Which bloggers?

Incidentally, I think "ethnic diversity" is a red herring. Any bloggers who talk about "ethnic diversity" are merely trying to couch their conversation in PC language to avoid ad-hominem accusations of racism.

The issue is not "ethnic diversity". The issue is that certain ethnicities underperform. Specifically, African Americans and Hispanics (30% of the US, 0% of Singapore) underperform. Nonhispanic whites (about 65% of the US and close to 0% of Singapore) achieve mid-level performance. Asians (about 4% of the US and close to 100% of Singapore) overperform.

These effects are HUGE in comparison to inter-country effects. Asian Americans score about 10 pts below Singapore. The EU15 scores about 50 pts below Asian Americans, and a couple of points above All Americans.

http://super-economy.blogspot.com/2010/12/amazing-truth-abou...

It is simply incorrect to pretend that ethnic gaps in education do not exist, or to pretend that they do not explain a large portion of the gap between the US and the rest of the [edit: first] world.

Also, it would be helpful if you were a little more specific in your citations. Citing a gigantic PISA reports is much less useful than citing a specific table or figure. I'd love to learn more, but I don't have time to read the whole thing, and I have no idea which parts you are referring to.

[edit: wanted to clarify that I don't think the gaps between the US and poor locations, e.g., rural inland China or India, are primarily due to ethnicity. But gaps between wealthy first world countries do seem well explained by such factors.]
Was it the

"I know everyone is getting ready to march over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard"

part...?

Or was it the tweets? "Go home with love & in peace."(now deleted) https://www.thetrumparchive.com/

Maybe this one?
"am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!"

Or this video telling everyone to they they lost, and to pick up their toys and head home peacefully.

Am I in a media bubble? Where's the smoking gun of him inciting violence and trying to prevent a peaceful transition of power?

As far as I can tell, the only real source calling for violence has been the users on thedonald.win, which has caused the mods to step in and say that they will follow the Presidents call for peace and thus not allow the platform to contain calls for violence (https://thedonald.win/p/11RhAqC6sa/mods-are-compromised/)
We definitely should learn it: and treat those with adversarial intent (China) as the enemy they are.
-Oh, I've seen Bouvet off in the distance once, and if the Norwegians would just have kept mum about their annexation, the British would be none the wiser to this day.

Bouvet looked, to put it mildly, barren, mostly covered in ice as it is, and the few bits not covered in ice looks pretty much like the less hospitable parts of the Moon.

I'd pass.

(Oh, also we possess the slightly larger but no less barren Peter I Island, which for a while after it was discovered in the 1820s was the southernmost known landmass.)

We really ought to reiterate our claim to North America, though, what with Leiv Eirikson, L'anse Aux Meadows an'all.
The main issues are the ergonomics of authoring and maintaining consistency around a site. A minimal static site generator would keep internal links and boilerplate consistent. Connecting that with markdown, Org mode, or reStructured Text would help with the ergonomics. But then you lose the goal of having no necesary tools.

Anyhow, if there's one general purpose tool that predates the web and will probably be around when it's replaced by some other content publishing standard, it's Emacs. You could do a lot with a minimal SSG in Emacs and Org Mode, and it would be forward compatible with whatever is in the future, as well as backward compatible to whatever you like.
>Telegram is to the russian government what whatsapp is to the US government.

Do you have a source for that. Telegram is built by the VKontakt guys who Putin famously fucked over.
I think it helped a lot. I still think it's a lot better than Twitter, but it's difficult to compare, because the default-public behavior of Twitter content makes it far more toxic; to find the same stuff on FB you either have to be in a private group, or read public comments on a public article. It doesn't come to you in the same way it does on Twitter.

Most of the horribly content on Facebook is fake accounts, which you can usually identify because their entire profile is around a theme. Facebook tried to make fake accounts impossible for awhile, but apparently they've given up.

Twitter doesn't try.
Tracking pixels are pretty standard for the web analytics industry, and are a tool to aggregate information, not sell. Google, Facebook, Optimizely, Marketo, etc. all use them.

Yesterday Facebook accepted my application ScienceHack into the applications directory. So far, it’s been a huge success, I am getting great exposure to my target audience and every time someone adds my application, many more come through the friends feed feature. If you have a start up don’t hesitate to integrate it into Facebook.

What are your thoughts?
