I don't know about other communities, but Formula 1 fans go and watch races because of sounds. The new rules in 2014 which introduced the v6 hybrid doesn't have a very loud sound and you can see the media reaction to it. Old cars used to have a v8 engine. Revs limiting is also one of the reason of low sound in 2014.

If you want an comparision between the old sound and new sound, see the below mentioned youtube video

Well the brute forcing of it would be mighty suspicious: the number on the back has a 1,000 or 10,000 combinations. So that will be noticed, even if you got the first 12 numbers right on the first try. Also, theoretically, of the remaining 12 numbers, 6 should change with each new card, which is another 1,000,000 possibilities (and bigger banks may change more numbers than that)!
I think that's due to the app making a local backup on the device.

"WhatsApp automatically makes backups every day at 4 AM and stores them in the WhatsApp folder of your Android phone."

There is no scientific reasoning here just some experiments. So many factors could be in play here like: air pollution, global warming, cellular networks etc.
much better:

The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system that comes in a sports watch. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection, or simply as a watch.

Since the author admittedly made up the term "complete expression" whose definition mirrors what I would expect for just "expression". He also used the word "subexpression" to describe parts of something that would otherwise be called a "statement".

Though I think his vocabulary is a little confusing, after re-reading I think I get what he's actually complaining about. It is really awkward for a <%= %> tag to not actually be a self-contained, parse-able expression. On the other hand, you'd really rather have things like form_for return the text to print, not just print it (thus allowing the use of the <%= %> instead of <% %>). It's just one of those annoying situations where attempting to be pure and elegant results in an ugly kludge in the real world.
I like it very much, it's fun to use, but do sth with the performance. At the moment "149 connected players" and it's hanging. It's 3rd game in a row for me when it's hanging once a few moves, now it's dead completely. Game over :(
Late September was bad for the datastore. We were seeing latency on simple queries vary from 50ms up to 5s. These were simple properly-value queries as well. This was fixed in early October I think, and a recent bit of maintenance brought latencies down even further. The datastore is now extremely fast and rarely errors out.

We (http://gri.pe) are still happy on AppEngine, even though September was rough.
> Websites need servers to harness and share data. The languages that were developed to do this (PHP, Python, Rails, etc.)

Common misconception perhaps, but the _language_ is called Ruby, not Rails...
Apple wouldn't make it available to regular users.

It lets you market Apple's product for free. Of course they are going to allow that.
He answered a question, and asked a question. Nothing you even said here makes the least bit of sense given the context.

Most surprising thing I've ever seen him write. Gave me a bit of a laugh.
Point taken, but please read for the kernel of truth that remains after all the nits have been picked off.
Having used XAML recently for purposes not even related to WPF, I can definitively see what this might bring.

XAML is at its core a format to describe an object graph declaratively. The objects can be any .NET object.

The current XAML editor already understands a lot about the objects you describe - i.e. it loads the assembly and introspects the types to give you intellisense while editing. The current one is not without its quirks and bugs, however.

I'd be thrilled to have a new, robust editor that intrinsically understands classes, properties, value converters etc to offer more assistance when writing raw XAML.
I've managed to accommodate the need for multiple pages open at once by having multiple windows with multiple tabs.

This works much better for me than paper books due to freeing up desk space and not requiring multiple purchases of a paper text.

I use OS X though, so I have a convenient graphical window switching tool which shows me all the windows of a particular app, rather than a list of window names. Perhaps the experience is different for Windows and Linux users?

On the iPad, I make extensive use of notes, bookmarks and different coloured highlights. In some cases I'll use e.g.: yellow for definitions, blue for examples, pink for caveats. In other cases I'll use yellow for topic A, pink for topic B, etc. Thus the always-visible index of notes gives me twice as much information!

You can't easily get the same utility out of a paper book.
I'm always confused when people ask me this question. All browsers have the ability to view the source code of a web page (View > Developer > View Source in Chrome). The source code is here: http://madebyevan.com/nn-gait/script.js. Is that what you meant?
I didn't downvote you but supplements are far from risk free. Also in the US you could be ingesting almost anything when you buy a supplement, thats how unregulated the industry is. you need to talk to your doc before starting any supplements. Especially if you are on medication.
It would be nice to have a more subtle version that just replaced the bottom row of the normal most visited sites.
Comparable to a $70 processor, at least.
Back then, it was in everyones interesst. Trump caused controversy, that drove traffic. Same applied for mainstream media and TV, everyone covered im because he drove engangement. The world would be much different, if everybody would just not have covered him and his rallies already in 2016. Everybody did, so.
What makes you so sure said workstations had any significant value or access worth locking it down like it held the launch codes or something? According to one of the replies in the tweets you linked, pretty much everything would have been open information anyway.

All this talk from random internets about how "terrible" their infosec is strikes me as a bunch of armchair quarterbacking by people who think they know a lot more than they do... so basically your typical tech worker I guess.
For me, the non-tailoring is a massive benefit because it doesn't try and guess at what I mean. When I search for "Python" I get snakes and language documentation. Having to be more specific about what I want isn't a great burden when it means I can actually find what I actually want, not what the search engine is guessing I want.
There should be an option “Not Switching”. My vote.
But there is no downside (besides the time cost of the one-dollar-bill operation). If you don't win, you just put the money back to the bank.

What is interesting is that you could theoretically deposit (part of) the money into your account and then withdraw somewhere else, so change the odds slightly.
> Can you point us to any evidence of actual election fraud?

I certainly can. There is an audio recording of a sitting president asking, then begging, then threatening a Secretary of State to create illegitimate votes to overturn a state election so it goes in his favor. That act was the very definition of election fraud. Perhaps not the kind the person you replied to was inferring, but it's real and we have all witnessed it.
Telegram is a great IM experience. The client is good, feature set is good, the stickers are amusing (if you're into that kind of thing), the feature set is complete and everything is polished. Telegram is, I think, going to be one of the easier sells if you're trying to convince non-technical users to switch from WhatsApp or FB Messenger.

The privacy, security, and governance story is not great though. If you care about such things, I think Signal wins hands down. And the UX is fine, just not quite as good as Telegram in my view.

(A third option not in your poll that might be worth evaluating is Wickr. I haven't used it personally, but I've seen it come up in these sorts of discussions.)
Can/Will is a difference. Especially when Facebook will definitely be using all the information it can get to sell profiles of me to others.

Another point is to compartmentalize information shared.

Id rather share my whole profile in parts to 100 different companies who all arent allowed to share it with each other, than all of it to one company.
True, but I think it points to an inherent weakness in the business model. The reason it's so hard to build these businesses without relying on Google (and playing cat and mouse with their ranking algorithms) is because customers fundamentally don't care whether they get their content from you or someone else.
Yeah my terminology is probably off, but I think the ideas are fairly sound.
My post was very negative. Apart from the above, minor, details, its a great service that I hope I can use as much as I do Instapaper.

(Be even better if it could work with embedded Youtube/Vimeo on other domains, like devour.com).
I'm saying that houses and plots of land with houses on them are not trivially subdivided like apartment complexes are. It is rare to see a house directly across the street from a house that is 4x larger and on 4x as much land. But if you did, the price difference between those houses would be much less than 4x, because so much of the value of a home comes from the neighborhood.

Its the same exact reason why houses cost more in Boston than in Wyoming, but on a different scale. The value of a home is heavily influenced by its location.

I think its reasonable to expect this to be more true of houses than apartments. Someone who is buying a house and putting down roots is going to care more about "the neighborhood" than someone who plans to move on in a year or two.
Personally, I find that people who directly depend on ad revenue contribute very little to my life. In the software industry, content creators who are paid to participate in the field tend to produce much better content than those who are paid to produce content.
>exaggerated

...

>official-condoned

Severity and scope mainly. Bad stuff happens as byproduct of program on this scale. My position is numbers and atrocities are exaggerated. GIS study reveals there's 1/3 of the camp as those used to extrapolate the 1M+ figures. Changing testimonies from the same usual suspects is text book atrocity propaganda. The claim it's officially-condoned contradicts leaked memos themselves instructing (relatively) humane treatment which corresponds with earliest testimonies which were tame but also did not move needle. Hence need for exaggeration. TLDR is XJ is an none-event in geopolitical terms if it's comparable to US prison or CAN indigenous reserves where bad things happen as side-effect of scale and power dynamics. They're par for the course hence need to exaggerate into something they're not.

> what their goals actually are.

Neuter human rights + atrocity propaganda as a valid geopolitical weapon, because it engineers dangerous frictions. Fallout from wars has more significant negative outcomes than cultural genocide. The double standards of fabricating greater evils inhibits raising rights i.e. XJ formalized as cultural genocide opens up meaningful tools for Indigenous ppls in Canada. Labelling it as something else absolves such duty. I endorse increasing international pressure on crimes against humanity / cultural genocide to scope where it punishes west and east for benefit and detriment of both. I also acknowledge that there's cynical geopolitical reasons why this is not happening. Finally, a proper reflection on cultural genocide would at least formalize the limits to state powers especially on topics like forced integration, there are so many messed up internal divisions / post-colonial borders keeping countries from prospering - forced integration has been a important tool for stability since time immemorial, we can try to constrain it to what's globally acceptable, or leave it as the current free-for-all.

> Popularity has nothing to do with quality

And that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

The statement "Most of us use it because we have to" is pretty clearly refuted by the fact that no one had to use JS on the server-side, yet plenty still pick Node over other alternatives (even ones they know well).
Generally speaking, for smaller size you should use #lang racket/base and then only import the extras you need.
Installing Amber
1. The npm package

Unfortunately it's a kind of show stopper for those who don't know npm or nodejs and don't really want to deal with it.
Hello. great article!
I remember making one back in Uni. We implemented an LL parser it was fun. IT really starts to get tricky when you implement Pipes/Redirections and the parenthesis () operators. have fun hacking
I'm sure a lot of Chinese are not fans even if they are forced to join by practical considerations. Like most communist systems they are unable to have democratic elections because people would vote them out.

They do. School sucked hard but seeing your friends and goofing off in certain classes was the real reason to enjoy it. Sometime, a good teacher would show up and teach you about the world in how their subject fits in it.
Oh, they for sure monetize their Neo-Marxist activism decently well. I doubt Stalin was eating stale white bread three times a day either.
Reading through that again: School had also a lot of nice things besides the time with friends. I really wanted to learn, every book we read I went through in 1-2 days, I read books about biology,... so in hindsight I wished we would have gotten better stimulation for the brain, less Latin and quality control for the teachers.
I'm adding this my my list of great quotes!
I don't really think it's fair to argue arrays as an example of generics since they've been around since the dawn imperative programming languages and have been a staple in the kinds of languages that people example as having a lack of generics.

I'd also question whether maps are a good example either since a map[string]interface{} would be incompatible with a map[int]interface{} (which leads to many of the code duplication examples that developers demonstrate when discussing the need for generics in Go)

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but this would likely be the mindset that Pike et al have with regards to "generic" built in types.

I do agree with you that there is "some level" of generics on Go though: interfaces{}. Sadly that feature was "uglified" by the constant need for casting (and that's putting it politely).
I also think that a research effort with the ability to process 100% of Tweets can most likely afford to pay

Processing 100% of all tweets is not actually very hard or expensive: 2000 messages/sec is small potatoes if you want to do it in realtime, and even easier if you are just doing batch analysis queries. You could do it (with reasonable performance) for much, much less than $360,000/year (let alone 2x or 3x that for the 100% feed).
> I don’t understand how such a licence can be legal.

It wasn't in the EU, which is why they had to change it.
The danger is that there's a big "we know better than you" component to it, which is used to justify hiding the truth. For example it might be true that the population in general would be better off if we save the masks for nurses. Then, the government should say "don't wear a mask, we need them for nurses". They should not say "don't wear a mask, they don't work". Also it might even be true that wearing masks reduces distancing, on average. Then, the government should say "wear a mask but pay attention that you don't stop distancing", and not "don't wear a mask, they don't work". The paternalistic PR-minded reasoning goes like

1) What do we want people to do?

2) How do we get them to do it?

The answer to 2 should always be simply explaining the reasoning for 1, even if it would be a little less effective than making up some lie. In the long run this builds trust in the government, instead of reducing it leading to a total breakdown of compliance because they lie all the time.

The most dangerous and insidious thing about this dynamic, IMHO, is that a certain type of smart or self-identified elite person will go along with it, because they, too, believe that you can't just tell the truth to the general public (of which they don't consider themselves a part of course).
I think it should read "row" not "column":)

Most are not renders, just heavy photoshop.
I agree with the first part -- which is why I don't like low-level languages like C.

I can't count the number of times I've encountered old C code that uses pointers and bytes and arrays, and I discover a bug, and on further inspection I can't even figure out what they were trying to do. It's all just pointers and bytes and arrays. The language is too low-level to encode intent, except at the lowest level, so you're putting all your trust in comments.
> The A&A bill doesn't affect them

You can basically sum that up as "we weren't able to protect your privacy in the first place, so you don't have to worry about this bill compromising it".

The quote also misses that Australia has silent and warrantless access to data and that Fastmail's servers are in the US, so subject to America's three-letter agencies as well.

> I'm just some boob on the internet that doesn't speak legalese but a quick Google suggests that Gmail [0] and Outlook [1] are subject to similar laws.

The competition isn't American megacorps, it's small European companies like ProtonMail (Switzerland, as far as I can see usually requires a court order and Swiss law requires notifying the subject) or Mailbox.org (Germany, only allows disclosure with a warrant or imminent danger to life). Even if your email is left unencrypted, these countries have much stronger data protection and privacy laws.
I thought it was a great article. Just because we need to do something about it doesn't mean we should let the facts be distorted. Showing a map that has most of South Vietnam under water in 2050 suggests something totally different than what this article points out to be the truth.

The answer is so often "people are bad and need to radically change." The reality is that people are good and we are only capable of incremental change. This article helps show why that is likely to turn out better than alarmists claim.
It's not just amount of snow but terrain. A fair bit of snow on a flat surface might be fine, but even a little bit on a slope can quickly become problematic if you don't have 4x4.
There are a ton of contractors in cities, in the Bay Area they probably make more than tech workers. There are also construction workers _everywhere_.

There are mosquito fleet trucks in SF whose whole purpose is to collect recycling and take it to the recycling center.

In western cities there are off-road enthusiasts who camp at places you can’t get to without a modified vehicle and winch (no crowded campsites).

Some people just like trucks and will buy them because why not?
Living on below sea-level creates huge flooding risk, with severe weather or terrorism multiplying the effects.

For sure! If your living situation allows it that’s definitely the cheapest option, at least for car budget.
I don't think it's immoral if you get to accomplish all of your tasks in both companies. For what I understand, companies want you to do the work they hired you for; they make money out of you, otherwise they wouldn't need you.

Maybe a better way to be at 2 companies at the same time is by being completely transparent about working on both places with one of the companies. You automate all your full-time boring work in the first one, and in the second maybe you do part-time, or some kind of work that can align with your own interests.

maybe an etrepeneurial partnership or a flexible deal to get a new product that really interests you without having to commit all of your life.
It’s a dishonest political cudgel:

Notice how companies like Google, FB, etc that advocate “diversity and inclusion” tend to have highly skewed politics, such as harassing and firing conservative employees.

The calls for “diversity” are the exact opposite — a call for cultural hegemony by far left views and racistly color-coordinating the population, so we have “balance” in the view of avowed racists.

The purpose is to bully anyone who opposes their racist ideology by labeling them as “against diversity” — a standard language game from fascists.

You are being gaslit.
So I agree with your sentiment, your details are a little off.
“it wouldn't be too difficult for them to grab absolutely anything they want. Even disk encryption doesn't save you. You're in a VM, they can watch the memory if they need to.”
It would be difficult because you’d have to have host access. VM disk encryption is now tied into an HSM or TPM these days, host access wouldn’t help. As for memory, that is now usually encrypted, so no dice there either. The security of a big name public VPS is astoundingly better than what you can do yourself.

“Using a VPS can make you more identifiable”
I think you have a problem of “threat model” here. You’re mixing up hiding against hackers, governments, etc and just lumping it under “privacy and security”
Using a VPS isn’t going to make you more identifiable to google, because you’re not using google now. Using a VPN isn’t going to make you more identifiable to your ISP, because all they can see is that you have a VPN up.
Why not use a VPS for VPN? Well you’re only right it would suck if your threat model includes governments or hostile actors, me hiding from my ISP or on a public Wi-Fi? Not a problem.

You conflate a few ideas and threat models.

Security = The ability to not have your stuff accessed or changed.
Privacy = The ability to not have your stuff seen.
Anonymity = The ability to not have your stuff linked back to you.
Threat model = Who are you protecting yourself from?
E.g. The steps I take to not get hacked by the NSA are going to be different then the steps I use to make comments on 4chan or whatever are different than the steps I take to use public Wi-Fi.

Ref: I work for Amazon AWS, my opinions are my own insane ramblings.
Is it statistical illiteracy or something else?

I think it's because journalism has become all about the journalist and their narrative and social signaling.

Even when data is used, it's not for the purpose of dispassionate analysis. Using data is just a way to identify yourself in the "expert" "science-based" camp.
