yes, my point is. i don't know if using apple products and getting into that ecosystem is much better than google's ecosystem
If there ever was a reason for drone strikes...
I recently tried CarPlay in a rental (for a long road trip). I gave up. Way too frustrating to use. Very distracting.

For instance, one stretch thru Dallas, my phone and CarPlay, which were connected, were giving me different turn-by-turn instructions.

Cliche: person with two watches doesn't know what time it is.

So I disabled CarPlay and just used aux-in for the audio from my phone.
Sure on average but whilst that is often bounded about, most people are not average. Bit like having 10 people with shoe sizes of 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 so you go, the average size is 8.5 and proceed to make 10 pairs of 8.5 size shoes.

Gets down to knowing yourself and how much that differentiates from the average and adjusting accordingly. Alas many look at average and work with that, so somebody small who needs may think the average alcohol limit is X, so I can drink X and still be legal to drive and yet as they are smaller, find their blood volume less and the alcohol to blood level is higher than that average and tada, drunk drives without realising as they thought they had stayed under the average limit.

Averages used as a literal are dangerous, they need to be treated as a guideline by people when applying them to themselves, can't stipulate that enough.

[EDIT a grammar I spotted]
What are your thoughts on implementing paid showers in more places? We have the free mobile showers in SF for the homeless, but they are few and far between. Seems like having access to paid showers would be welcomed and is just not something the city and/or business has tried to prioritize.
I would extend that argument even further. Not only is it morally justified to capture the value, its also the only means by which the private ownership can be justified at all. It is, after all, our rule of law and common institutions that will enforce the title to begin with.

From a position of Rawls veil of ignorance, I don’t see how you could justify land title being granted on first come first served basis. Leased to the highest bidder (with a public dividend) seems much more agreeable.
> Any definition of "editorializing" I've ever heard involved injection of opinion - none of the above did that

Taking that PIA headline as an example, even if the chosen title is factual ("bought a company known for distributing malware"), the submitter is still making a judgement about what part of the story is most important. That is editorializing.
"Legislation should solve this problem."

Legislation does absolutely nothing when the people aren't involved. When people are not involved, it almost always gets usurped to remove rights and privilege from the common person.

Thus you and your roommate should be talking about these things. To remain silent is to remain complicit.
This would have to be a reverse proxy on the AdTech's infrastructure itself to make sure no rewriting is being done after-the-fact, as you can't trust your AdTech customer (the person that owns example.com) to not run a reverse proxy in front of that.

Moving to cloudflare gives cloudflare veto power over any attempt to access your site.
"Do you actually believe this is happening?"

It's been happening since the inception of marketing and advertising.
There's an overblown meme floating around that cloudflare is a man-in-the-middle attack on your SSL connection. But even if you don't use cloudflare, your SSL connection typically terminates at your cloud provider's load balancers anyway. Would people then say the load balancer is a MITM attack? At some point you just have to trust the cloud infrastructure you paid for.
I think most people underestimated how stupid hard core Trump supporters are. 90 percent couldn't tell you the square root of 4 or name a single city in India.
You mean how quickly the right wing media made up some completely made up narrative with altered and misleading photos trying to rebrand known white supremacists and QAnoon followers as antifa and BLM protesters? And how quick these people who constantly complain about "MSM fake news" were to spread it all over the internet without any fact checking on their end?

It wasn't even a mistake, it was clearly intentional. The photo of Q Shaman was intentionally cropped to remove the QAnon sign, and the phillyantifa website was clearly listing white supremacists. The people spreading that knew all this, yet they still decided to spread it.
Side note, there is a definite trend of blaming this on McDonnel Douglas. Growing up in St. Louis and now living in Seattle I notice it all the time.

I do think the way you said it may be more true (with no evidence) that a management culture which had switched more to acquisition choked out good engineering culture. You are essentially correlating it with the acquisition in timeline.

Note I'm in no way attacking you, just adding what I've seen online and heard in bars.
RE: Would one extract .js scripts as modules to reuse custom components? Yes, you can certainly do that. the define function supports both template element nodes or strings, so you can work directly in a HTML document (the web will be getting HTML imports before too long) or do it all in JS and publish to NPM.
it’s not really helpful to provide UK banks as an alternative to a US bank
Shouldn't the first question be "would you find the case for the insurrection against the British persuasive"?

I certainly see no reason to give these folks the compliment of comparing their movement to that one...

And then the second question would become "how competent were the people involved, and how effective was their action?" Where the answer to both seems to be "not very" for these idiots.

Why are people insisting on making ridiculous comparisons between things that have the same rough outline but wildly different material circumstances.

It's like some people can only see things in abstractions and not realize that individual situations are unique and need to be judged in their specific contexts.
Hollywood has already validated its product, and found product-market fit. It's now just stamping out products it's pretty sure people will buy. Anyone claiming Hollywood doesn't make things people want to buy would, given the choice, swap bank accounts with any of a very large number of Hollywood executives. The coffers of which are by definition filled with customers' dollars. You may not like most of what's on offer, but then, like is so often mentioned around here, you are not the target customer.
Dodgy? It's the best part of London :)
Unity is cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Wii, iOS) though, and is really built on Mono and not Microsoft's implementation. So I don't think that counts, since Ars is arguing that .NET is competing with Obj-C and Cocoa as the native language/API of choice for desktop apps.
One of BlackBerry's features is BBM, a private IM network for BlackBerry owners. People love it because it's counted as part of your (fixed price) BlackBerry mail, so there's no extra charge like SMS or a conventional data connection. Apple and Google don't have anything comparable. Sure there's Google Talk but anyone can use that, there's no exclusivity.
Self driving cars just have to be safer than Humans -- probably not that difficult.

The annoying part will be entering our destination in to Google Maps Car Interface, and having the car tell us:

"Because we searched for Chairs the other day, we'll be making a quick stop at our Sponsor: Furniture Warehouse to see their fantastic selection, with free delivery... After all your appointment isn't for another 45 mins and traffic is clear... (you may override this action at a cost of ${LostAdRevenue}"
There is a type on the website : buiilt
If not for charity there's also the possibility of doing something cheap for portfolio fodder. Then again, cheap seems to bring out the wrong type of person you want to work for.

You could also subcontract for someone you know that does web development. They get less work to do, you get experience, you probably still get paid.
They want to help people make better use of multiple availability zones. People may have reserved a bunch of instances, but would be better off distributing those more effectively across zones.
I think it's more of a learning experience.

In the grand scheme of things, it's still day one for computing services like AWS.
I have been told that the primary reason is that killing animals is morally wrong, not that it is in any way comparable to murder. I have never met an vegetarian so extreme to tell me that animals (we eat) are people.
That's not entirely true. The engagement metrics on our app, Starfleet Commander, are off the chart. There's definitely a space for mid to hardcore gamers on Facebook.

They're harder to reach. We peaked at only a few hundred k MAU before Facebook platform changes wrecked our traffic, but I think we could have grown much larger, maybe still can if we adapt well.

Facebook has 500 million users now, so it's a pretty solid representation of the broader population. Every hardcore gamer alive has a Facebook account. As do most stay at home moms.
I work at my own consulting company. 5 colleagues were tired of "working for the man", we rented an office and started calling other colleagues. Now (3 years later) we're down to 3, have full-time work and are fairly happy.
Everyone knows that IPv4 is running out; we've known for years. That's non-news. (You can tell because CNN is covering it.) The story is how people are fixing the problem.

Also, your "buy gold" quip gets an insta-flag for scaremongering.
I agree completely with this! In addition look at beer bottles. Glass bottles are very robust. Most have the potential to last several reuses. Yet recycling them means smashing them, and remaking a bottle. That's never made sense to me.
"Boston city proper had a 2008 estimated population of 620,535" 22,000,000,000$ / 620,535 = 35,450$ per person, for something they helps in some areas but made congestion worse in others.

Other options included reducing the number of cars large toll to get into the city which would for high quality and public bus system.

2% of 22billion is 440 million / year that pays for one hell of a public bus system. Heck, spend 22billion on an above ground mono rail network and you could build one hell of a system (~500 - 1500km). Most Boston traffic is just moving people from point A to B so public transportation is a real option. 13% of all commuting takes place by foot as it is, so even elevated bike paths could have significantly improved things.
> "my guess is most people are mostly looking at the core functionality of the device."

Once a device has an exclusive killer app, people start to treat that app as part of the device's core functionality.

Apple views apps as an accessory. Would it trouble them to see consumers begin to treat a third party app as a core system component? The author seems to think so. (He has no evidence, though.)
FTA:

Apple's copyright infringement claim starts with the observation that jailbroken iPhones depend on modified versions of Apple's bootloader and operating system software. True enough -- we said as much in our technical white paper describing the jailbreak process. But the courts have long recognized that copying software while reverse engineering is a fair use when done for purposes of fostering interoperability with independently created software, a body of law that Apple conveniently fails to mention.

So, Steve Jobs can say what he wants. The courts are the final arbiter. Jailbreaking, like "rooting" an Android phone, perfectly legal. Warranty voiding, maybe, but legal.
Everyone has their own approach to problem solving:

"Like his thesis adviser Dr. Kolmogorov, Dr. Arnold had an unusual approach when he got stuck on a problem. Writing in the Russian online newspaper Gazeta.ru, his former students Askold Khovanskii and Yuli Ilyashenko recalled that Dr. Arnold would ski for 25 miles or more, wearing nothing more than swim trunks."
An interesting point, well stated. I've always just considered the direct competition between Excel and 1-2-3, but platform control via app control certainly could have factored in too.
That's nice! Hope to see you there! :)
Oh, I was searching over at amazon.com. It does return Tokyo positions but the results seem different. Thank you.

Please let me know how to contact you.
"...couldn't really put his finger on what it was that he really wanted but couldn't just do."

As an amusing literal interpretation of your metaphor, IIRC Leonardo actually painted the shadows around the Mona Lisa's mouth using his finger, which enabled his style of sfumato shading. So I suppose he was putting his finger on it...
Another similar website was just launched: VHX (http://vhx.tv). It's currently in a closed beta, but they're slowly sending out invites. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it seems really nice, allowing you to choose things to watch later in addition to cataloging every video you watch on the internet (it spans tons of sites, way more than just Vimeo and YouTube).

Fun fact: Former Vimeo developer Casey Pugh is one of the people behind the site.
Coole Idee, will try to cut my conference short to be there!
Methinks "good taste" refers not to the set of things you decide are good or bad, but to the perception and analysis you use to make such decisions.

It's best if you're able to explain yourself. The consummate person-with-good-taste-in-music should be able to listen to Led Zeppelin and say, "Ah, this is good, they do XYZ really well, those are the things that make this song good"; and it should be right, which means that if you took Led Zeppelin and had them do X not as well, and played the result to members of the general public, they would react much less enthusiastically than they would to the original song.

Being able to say "this is good" or "this is bad" is a start, but the really useful thing is to be able to go deeper and say "this is good overall; XYZ are good aspects of it; ABC could have been done better". 'Cause then you can tweak ABC and make it even better, or go to a comparable project and fix its XYZ.

It's sometimes possible to use your taste to be successful even if you're not able to explain yourself with words. If you're carefully listening to your project (or using whatever sense is appropriate; imagine a man closing his eyes and calmly giving his entire attention to the sensation), and you just feel that a certain thing isn't the way you like it and needs to be changed in a certain way, and you make the change, and repeat the process until you're satisfied... If you have very good taste, then these things that you felt needed fixing were precisely the things that the consummate person-with-good-taste would perceive and describe, and your product should now be really good (at least, much better than before).

If you have that kind of taste, and if you have control over your project (or if the people working with you simply trust your decisions), then you can get success without ever developing the ability to articulate just why a particular thing is good or bad. On the other hand, it is probably possible to have excellent taste in most regards but to just be flat-out wrong about a couple of important things. To guard against this possibility, it is useful to be able to explain yourself and to compare your words with others's.

You can probably start to learn to articulate your tastes by experiencing several things that are similar, but you definitely like some of them more than the others, and thinking about what makes them different and what might explain your preference. You'll have to be careful--not to attribute like or dislike to the wrong things--but you will probably make progress sooner or later.

The other side effect of this is that some modern applications are significantly hindered by the speed of light. If you start to look at doing globally distributed storage, speed of light alone between two locations can be in the hundreds of milliseconds. I had not seen the 33% slowdown in fiber, which could make that worse.

I believe for voice the human ear can't detect 20ms differences, but when you talk about video I have not seen numbers. Many HD video applications require latency under 100ms for the interaction to feel natural, and we currently lack a better solution for this. Example: HD video between Shanghai and Buenos Aires would be over 150ms in delay with just the speed of light and the fiber delay.
Everything feels beta. It crashes on about 10% of our builds with an inscrutable java error deep in the bowels of bazel. The solution, according to the bazel authors, is to rebuild, which works so our ci pipeline has an auto retry mechanism because bazel is so buggy. I’m not joking.

On top of a that, everyone on my team had to learn skylark, their rules for docker, their rules for node, their... I’m exhausted just thinking about it...

Why bother unless you’ve got google size? It’s good software written by smart people, but I know I made a mistake in choosing it for our build solution.
I guess that you've never lived somewhere that's way below freezing in the winter. Or at least, worked up a sweat outside, there.
You also got the year wrong by a decade and a half, which would seem to render nonsensical the part of your post where you talk about "since 2001."
I think SO is starting the get the same problem that Wikipedia has been wrestling with - editor/moderator cliques. It may be a classic bureaucracy issue - on one hand they raise the quality bar by providing a higher level of consistency. On the other hand, they may drift from what might be considered reasonable from the point of view of more and more people outside the circle...
Okay but I'm somewhat surprised how much this conversation meant to you, that you've chosen to resurrect it a month later in a completely unrelated thread.

Anyway, his performance in The Imitation Game is just personal taste, it's not a matter of right and wrong, we just happen to hold different opinions - nothing to gloat about!
And there is such a thing as sexual objectification. If they're such strong characters, then wouldn't they still be as interesting and appealing if physically portrayed as small-chested and straight-waisted and wearing loose t-shirts and jeans?

The truth is that their character depictions are made rich IF doing so serves the story. But their physical portrayal serves no purpose except titillation. (And don't get me wrong, titillation has it's time and place and we could argue forever about whether its overwhelming prevalence in superhero comics is that place.) To claim otherwise is disingenuous.
So it seems that the natural human immune response to covid 19 (e.g. making polyclonal Ab) actually selects for mutant variants of the virus by only neutralizing a sub-set of the viral particles hmmm.

So giving plasma from a covid surviver is not a cure but rather a death sentence?
It was nine years ago. Remember that there are people voting in the recent US election born after 9/11; the forever war in the middle east has been going on for a while.
There is no score, and because levels are random, number of moves is not important. I plan to add level numbers in version 2.
You can only short public companies, so why should you be able to short any company in fantasy investing?
I am learning to cook. I also work on bicycles for myself, friends and family (I used to be a bicycle mechanic.)
I guess I don't understand the outrage that not every home address is somehow in their database. I wasn't outraged when I called Comcast to get cable run to my new house I just built. They first had to send a tech out to survey my location and ensure I was even in a serviceable neighborhood which is perfectly understandable.
It would seem pretty unlikely for Josh Elman, an early employee at Twitter, to not have caught wind of the deal, but who knows.

I'm guessing they still saw (and see) potential for Meerkat, as one day of buzz for Periscope does not a successful product make. Plenty of ways to compete still, it just got a bit harder.
I'm also curious about the general case of people believing that we're in a bubble giving advice to startups. Do they advise that startups keep a really low burn rate and wait it out, or go for broke and raise as much as possible now? Do they advocate certain business models that do better in recessions?
I think the point of this is to focus on countermeasures that work, because if you divide your attention wrong, you can start approaching something like a sanitization-theatre, that looks like you are doing impactful things but in reality it is mostly for show.

I remember Zeynep Tufekci ranting about a school where they had strict procedure for doing a weekly deep cleaning, but no guidelines on ventilation.
Someone I like in the ASD domain is Max Derrat. He's a gaming streamer (which I have no interest in) but he has a lot of candid observations on his own struggles with autism. His experiences seemed to resonate strongly with a lot of people (myself included), and he's built a bit of a community around it.
Within striking range for any single trillionaire.

Reminds me of this article (which also mentions algal blooms): http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/09/how-to-t...

«Few experts think that relying on geo-engineering would be a good idea. But no one knows how soon reality will trump ideology, and so we may finally have hit on a useful form of alarmism. One of the virtues of Keith’s succinct, scary book is to convince the reader that unless we find a way to talk about climate change, planes full of sulfuric acid will soon be on the runway.»
You keep saying that, but I don't see Termux dying unless Google straight up disallows fork() for all apps, even old ones.
In my experience, it is possible but the process isn't exactly geared towards people who actually suffer from ADHD. Getting an appointment via telephone can already be a struggle if you obtained Socanx due to ADHD symptoms (and the plain ol' forgetting for weeks to make the call).
Noob question: How can I use this on Windows?
Probably this one.

See "Movies as Programs" here for an introduction.

This looks like a slick expansion of the idea here https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/
Will be sure to kick the tires with a side project or two.
That's the average

But you can actually get paid more than that in IT positions, no problem (after-tax salary)
Are your tables in MyISAM format? As tables are flushed with read lock during the backup. If they are InnoDB you can specify --single-transaction which will be less intrusive.
A small sprinkle of restaurants[1] have begun trying an alternative where tips are disallowed but include some type of additional charge on your bill and in return the staff get paid a higher wage. According to another article this has resulted in better service from the staff --and that would seem to be opposite of what you might get from continental servers (who customarily don't get tips), so it bears watching.

[1]http://www.cbsnews.com/news/more-restaurants-adopting-no-tip...

PS. The strata of restaurant trying this approach might skew results, so, not sure what results one might get in a broad spectrum of restaurants.
> What you said was a personal attack, and a quite rude one at that.

That's correct, and no doubt the reason for the downvotes.
