The TV providers will never allow this, not that I can tell. A restaurant or bar with more than one or two TVs is on the radar of their TV Provider as a commercial account. If it becomes clear that the advertising they put in is being removed in favor of in-house ads, they're going to jack the price of the cable package WAY up.
The object may be yours. Copyright in the contents unless specifically assigned elsewhere (in many service agreements a grant but not an assignment is made to the service operator), remains with the author.

Fair-use affirmative defence (under US law), fair dealing (UK),or equivalents elsewhere, may apply. Infringement claims, if any, would rest on thin grounds. Under the specific circumstances here, privacy claims likewise.

There is no copyright protection in the fact of communication. Nor in the details of who did so.

Generally I'd argue for a legitimate public interest in sharing the communication in cases such as this.
That's very cool!

Please do try and get that upstreamed.

edit: I just realized you're the author in the first place!
They could/should just use an alias where both email address point to the same inbox and would solve that issue in 2 minutes.
You'd get much less reprimand if this information was somehow leaked to someone else who then was stupid enough to do it, although to avoid any legal "abetting" you'd have to have some actual documented cya saying "don't mess with this broken feature".
Man I've been using Brew on Catalina for awhile, didn't realize this wasnt supposed to work!
As I've been playing with Raspi's and Beaglebones and stuff lately, it's been driving me nuts that EVERYTHING I do needs to be apt-gotten off the internet, the base image doesn't even include basics like screen/tmux.

If those repos are inaccessable for any reason, I have a bunch of hardware that's very hard to do anything useful with.

I know there are such things as apt-caches and squid caches and stuff, but I could really use thing that goes through every apt-get I've ever done and the top 50,000 packages on github and stuffs 'em all onto an SD card and shows me how to use them from my commandline.

OP mentions this as a future direction for the project, but I think it's one of the most important.
That may have been illegal too, honestly.
Going of first hand experience of my friends, this pretty much the only game worth playing on 3D headsets. This will be a blow to the competition if they make it and oculus only game.
IOKit is actually a considerable chunk of the kernel, particularly if you count the various "families", some of which remain open source. I'd say it's Apple's main contribution to the kernel at the architectural level. It's implemented unlike anything in BSD or Linux, as it uses C++ on the kernel side. (The user space side, IOKitUser, is written in C.) These days even Apple uses it for non-device-related kernel services - you can see what the iokit registry looks like on your system using the "ioreg" command or the IORegistryExplorer or IOJones GUI tools.
Alternatively, the police target gangs because they’re concerned with committing crimes that impose harmful externalities on the rest of society.
g.u.i. is a buzzword I know not of what it means and it seems fairly useless and bereft of any actual technical definition. I know what a c.l.i. is and what it is not, and I also know that the two are not exclusives, and where the border of what is and isn't a g.u.i. lies is very vague.

I'm fairly certain that the console I summoned in Counter Strike when I was younger qualified as both a command line interface and a graphical user interface.

When discussions use such ill-defined terms, I smell the stench of social tribalism more than anything.
You make a very good point, I never thought about this.

Btw, I was 16 when I learned that "un" (like in the number 1), "en", and "an" have different pronunciations and that I pronounced them incorrectly my entire life! I still have to force myself from time to time to make a clear distinction.
I disagree with you. Personally I think science is very much about the process. The best science occurs when we disprove a hypothesis using experiments. An excellent example would be Michaelson and Morley experiment which disproved the existence of ether. The day science becomes about proving truth, it is no longer science, it becomes religion.

My favourite thing about F#/.NET Core (I guess .NET 5 now) on Linux is how easy it is to install multiple versions side by side using my distro package manager. This spoiled me so much now I'm disappointed when I have to use conda/rustup/etc.
> Is it one of those things where not being exposed to French at all makes one unable to produce both a hard k-sound as in "ck" and a softer k-sound that is somewhere between g and k, but definitely closer to "cog" than to "cock"?

No, its the fact that the vowel sound in “coq” does not usually occur in English, and is about equidistant from the ones in coke and cock, which are the more common in English; different English dictionaries give each of the three primary status. I can’t find any source with any variation in the final consonant sound, giving it consistently as voiceless (IPA “k”, like “cock”) not voiced (IPA “g”, like “cog”), both in English and French.
You could also alter behavior at runtime based on detected features…
There doesn't seem to be any safeguards for editing the content that gets saved to the file. Much like injecting extra commands into the clipboard when a user copies a terminal command, what's stopping someone from injecting a obsfucated piece of code to line 10000 of a python file? Maybe fugu could enforce a diff result on the of the original vs new file as an additional security step but that's just another alert out of the 10 added ones you have to deal with in your development process.

Is there any safeguards in the FileSystem Writable api to protect from this?
Sure. I said with a modern stack, like what most webs*s program in.
They're building apartments right next to their warehouses? I can't imagine anything more depressing than being fully surrounded by a megacorp that dominates every aspect of your life.

For future's sake I hope they make these places a bargain and empower their employees, however that seems like a pipe dream.
I'd say use a static site generator (e.g Hugo) with a CMS (like https://forestry.io/).

This gives you the best of both worlds -- never have to worry about your blog going down due to traffic spikes, can host it for nothing (or next to nothing). With a CMS, it'll make it easy to collaborate with non-technical writers down the road.

It's not as easy or familiar as wordpress but much more robust traffic wise
Careful with this one. In the US, while most states "one party notification states" and operate as you describe:

> Eleven (11) states require the consent of everybody involved in a conversation or phone call before the conversation can be recorded. Those states are: California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.[0]

Recording without all parties' permission in these states is at least a misdemeanor.

Some years ago my daughter set up a fake account with my name and friended a bunch of people from my old high school. When I found out I changed the password and have ignored it since.

I now have a real account just for my gaming group and my old account occasionally pops up in my suggested friends list.
Very good point and definitely something I can personally relate to.
What are they even going to do with all that funding? It really doesn't seem like the product is very complicated or expensive. (no offense or anything)
But you have to acknowledge the fact that more people are now exposed to the Wikileaks data precisely because of Wikileaks's "dramatic" release announcements.
I dig it. So how about widgets to embed "drop here to store this in create X" within other apps?
What constituted a Killer app 3-4 years ago, when the iPhone hit the market, probably isn't one any more. At the time, decent web browsing on a mobile truly was a killer app because none of the alternatives (RIM, Palm, etc) had decent web browsers. So it was essentially exclusive - if you wanted a great web browser on a phone, the iPhone was your choice. Now it's basically a commodity feature, since all of the major mobile platforms have a workable web browser.

"Exclusive" is maybe too strong a word, since it implies that no other platform will ever have that Killer Feature / App, e.g. Halo. But if only one platform has it when you need to buy, it's for all intents and purposes an exclusive.
How would this work, exactly? Usually stream parsing requires handler functions, which would imply passing functions at the commandline. I can't think of how you would do this with pipes.
Only supports Windows unfortunately. Actually I've been moving more and more to not using Office and going straight into Google Docs, but there are times when Office is still better. Hope they create a Mac one soon
I trust Dropbox immensely. I clicked all of those buttons without really reading the specifics.

1. I trust that they're not doing anything scummy or underhanded. My life's on Dropbox, and they're not going to do anything to reduce that level of trust.

2. If I ended up accidentally Tweeting that I love Dropbox, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

This said, the messaging was very clear, and everything behaved as expected. Great work as usual, guys.
Please note that these people are driven by anger for being substituted for cheaper, hipper, faster and newer competitors. They play the taxi game by their own rules and for taxi drivers who have been into winning the game with so little hesitation for so long and literally get disrupted over night by these rule breakers, the result is agression against the disrupting force.

The disrupting force makes them loose their bread and nobody does anything against it. An entire market is being ripped open and this is what makes Uber so interesting. It is something which will completely change an entire industry which basically made money for a long time without any competitors of another level. I cannot wait until Uber starts the fight against public transportation.
I also have been exploring what it may mean to automagically categorize news content.. I took an approach on http://www.rivyr.com of following RSS feeds.. then reverse searching the titles against my product database to attempt to autoclassify news by product. Wish I could see your backend as that's where the secret sauce is but definitely understand not doing that ;)
What about bitcoins? I thought you could convert those back to dollars.
Well, fault of the company is in the beholder I suppose, but they named it "Dollar" and explicitly marketed it (as in paid for advertisements that say this) as an alternative currency pandering to the Ron Paul crowd. It's not like they're being accused by an idiot who mistakes Chuck-E-Cheese tokens for real currency.
You come off like a completely arrogant know it all, regardless of the validity of your claims, the responses you're getting are largely from your own comment's original tone, not the subject, in my opinion of course.

A pretty decent part of the CoffeeScript MO is to start implementing things proposed for future versions of JavaScript ... but that we won't be able to use cross-browser for years and years. For example:

* Destructuring Assignment.

* Splats (Variadic Arguments).

* Lexical "this".

* Array and Object comprehensions.

* Classes (As sugar for prototype wrangling).

* String interpolation.

... to name the bigger ones. Many of these can be found in draft form on the ECMAScript Harmony wiki: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:strawman
I am afraid of buying an Android tablet (and, for that matter, I am leery of buying another Android phone) because I am beholden to the device manufacturers for OS updates. The track record of most hardware manufacturers for driver/software support is abysmal. A few years ago, I threw away a perfectly good scanner because the manufacturer-provided software did not work with Windows XP SP2, and the manufacturer explicitly stated that it did not intent to fix the problem. I have a Thinkpad T42 sitting on the floor of my office (make me an offer, I'll sell it cheap :) ) because the ATI video hardware does not have Windows 7 driver support. [Yes, I could probably use Linux, but that's another issue entirely]. My Droid phone (original Droid) is running a 3rd party firmware which is quite buggy but not as bad as the last official release from Verizon/Motorola.

Why do hardware manufacturers not see their products as solutions to problems and optimize their product definitions accordingly? There's the old quote along the lines of, "No one has ever needed a quarter-inch drill bit -- he needed quarter-inch holes." I would love to buy an Android tablet with the promise of Android OS updates for N years, even if N was only two or three. For that matter, I would love to buy a laptop where all the components were guaranteed to work well with the current version of Windows for some period of time. Furthermore, why are drivers so proprietary? Why not reduce risk by open sourcing drivers, even for Windows? One can purchase a Bluetooth dongle for less than a dollar, but, without driver support, it's entirely worthless. I had to figure out which ones had a particular Broadcomm chip and find a manufacturer which guaranteed that its dongle had that particular one inside.

This is no fun. I'm likely in the to 1% of the US population in my ability to work through such issues, but I still feel quite inept. One would think Apple would be a shining beacon of light to the world indicating that people are willing to pay a premium for "it just works" and "it will continue to work for longer than you care about it working."
The crime wave you refer to tracks pretty well with the demographic bulge from the baby boom; one of the strongest predictors of crime rates has consistently been the proportion of the population that is males in the 16-24 age range.

> The legal system is based strongly on precedent. It can't just undo major rulings of the past and replace the with something sane.

Sure it can; major court rulings have been overturned by later courts, and, even if courts won't do that, the law which they were interpreting when they made the rulings (including the Constitution) can be changed, rendering the old rulings moot.
I use opera for this since years, just F4, write it down, and it is synchronized everywhere...
The http://requirejs.org/docs/why.html page covers their design decisions. (That is the extent of my knowledge.)

• Loads scripts by appending to HEAD

• Asynchronous – calls functions when their dependencies are loaded.

• Support for a compilation to take your developer friendly cloud of javascript files and turn them into a single, closure compiled mass for faster page loads.
Was really hoping for a description or an about piece for that page. The link to the email list goes to a Google group, which is sure to confuse people as well.

Like the idea, just a strange way to execute.
It looks like HBase developers were working hard to design the most verbose API possible ;)
I really like hearing when my advice helps someone out. Negative confirmation ("We tried it... and it didn't work!") helps, too. Hearing via a blog post with a link to one of my businesses is, of course, double the fun.

You stated "Investigating facts and reporting them clearly is a solved problem." Is that a factual assertion? What's the evidence?
The MacBook M1 is a very good laptop despite everything.
It gave you the list of options (i think that's at most one of -H and friends, as many as you like of -E and friends, -f with an argument), and -n isn't one of them.

Several BSD commands are pickier than GNU commands about option order, sometimes for good reason, sometimes because it was easier to write that way.
Just an added perspective from Canada. Right now the covid variants are causing more and more of the new cases and, in BC, the average age of someone testing positive for the variant is 30. To make matters worse, the variants could be more deadly.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/coronavirus-variants-canada-c...

Our vaccination progress is frustratingly slow and only the most elderly population (80+) have had their first shot in significant numbers. Even if you are only thinking about yourself, you should not be dismissing the risk from these new variants.

If the pandemic continues and voluntary uptake is not high enough, you better believe that vaccines will become mandatory. Being responsible sometimes means doing what we don't want to do.
Some are better than others. Don't be hesitant - just find one that works well and use Linux.
The PC has always been an open platform. Documentation is readily available and the intention is for users to run whatever they want on the hardware. Completely different.
reviewing dozens of exam videos takes longer than grading them, it is simply not going to happen
Because a theory of everything, that encapsulates change within itself, would be a paradox?
NYC has two police "unions" which openly and loudly protest against police reform, defend officers who commit civil rights abuses, and are really more like PR and lobbying organizations than good-faith collective bargaining apparatus for organized labor.
But that is a bad convention, it prioritizes typing speed over readability, and it only works in certain cases (for flag-only parameters). I'd say good riddance to it.
I admit I've not gone through this yet but have been looking into how my wife's nexus one will upgrade to froyo, but I was under the impression that your phone just got the update over the air, I assume it tells you it's updated and restarts. Is this wrong? edit: no it looks like it's right:

I'd guess it's only going to get easier now that they're out of the early sprint stage and most of the "apps" part of the OS (e.g. maps, directions, browser as opposed to the JIT) will simply just get better.
The most interesting thing about all this is simply how personally Jobs and Gruber both seem to have taken the competition from Google. They genuinely seem to feel enormously betrayed by it. What this tells me is that both of them are now starting to acknowledge internally that Android really is an enormous threat to the iPhone and it is so in ways that they simply can't compete with. Google is putting out an operating system that is nearly as good as Apple's, runs on any hardware that anyone wants it to and is completely free. Apple can't hurt Google by undermining it profits because it doesn't make the hardware and it gives the software away. It really seems like an unfair fight. But what I think really hurts is Google invalidates Apple's core thesis, that control, power and lockdown are necessary for a consumer friendly operating system. Right as Apple is trying to justify not including Flash by saying it can't work properly on phones, Google is there adding it into Android and making them look like fools.

Incidentally Gruber seems to be conveniently overlooking a lot of history here. Hostilities really started when Apple banned Google Voice from the iPhone. Prior to that things were pretty friendly, but after that Google realized it couldn't afford to play friendly with Apple - so they enabled multitouch in Android and things went downhill from there. Although it's a completely pointless and silly game to play if you really follow it back I think there is a very good argument that Apple started this whole falling out.
The side effect is that people made to endure this more than a couple of minutes as a novelty will want to murder you. They'll then plead temporary insanity and likely get off with a light scolding and a medal.
I’ve heard a few other stories like that. I'd like to talk with one of the companies that has a lot of experience managing MongoDB and see if the horror stories are just a result of poorly managed servers, or if it is really a problem with MongoDB itself.

If it is with MongoDB, I’m hopeful that it is a result of MongoDBs immaturity, and over time it will become more stable.
Things get clearer when you look from a phone maker's point of view. Android's goal is to be there for phone makers to be put on their new phones. Just like Symbian and the like. You can make iPhone-killer phones with it. You can make crap with it. We all want iPhone-killer phones so we can show off, right? But that's not the point of the OS. That's the duty of the phone makers.

For a fair comparison, compare e.g. the Nexus One with the iPhone, not Android as a whole.
I listened to the first song. The arrangement really lets it down (guess it's a demo), and I think the verse backing is identical to part of the James Bond theme. But the singing is amazing (which was the point), and I couldn't help but dance to the chorus.

I included my negatives so I could conclude: it's easy to criticize, but hard to make people dance.
Will be there, the Google Group doesn't seem to be working.
Yeah, I'm intimately familiar with the environmental requirements of that era of CDC drives because in 1980 I started a student run computer center with the Logo Lab's surplus PDP-11/45, and managed to snag the above mentioned CDC drive and controller. We put it in a MIT Building 20 room with just comfort AC (which had a tendency to freeze up, humans produce water vapor that computers don't, so a system to detect that and give a unit a time out was built), and aside from occasionally blowing a power transistor for the big solenoid that moved the heads it ran like a champ. The best at hardware student I attracted showed me how he diagnosed this, by simply pushing the solenoid's outer coil in both directions and seeing which failed to resist. Since we had almost no money at the time, he was generally able pop the top off the transistor and reattach a failed lead (I guess vibration was the cause of those failures).

As for VC investing, if it didn't mention the formula of how many buyers a company's product might serve and the value to them, which of course produces a very high possible value for a lot of biomedical firms as you note ... bleah. If current VCs don't want to play this game, which I was told was part of it during e.g. the '80s, it's indeed an opportunity.

Although I'd say developing software is seldom truly low risk, most people just don't understand how difficult this can be (it's a people problem).
> The content of Whatsapp messages aren't accessible by Facebook.

You don't know that. Sure the messages are (claimed to be) e2e encrypted. But key exchange goes through Whatsapp (Facebook) servers. So they could give themselves access easily enough if they wanted to.
I believe the response from a Fox news viewer would be "It's not news." It's an opinion segment and all major media networks have them as far as I'm aware.
Sure, it's better than nothing, but I worry that there will be people who think that their use of Smile is enough and might deter some active giving.

I've funneled tens of thousands of dollars through Amazon in six years that resulted in only about $65 of donations, so less than $1/mo.

But I also give $100/mo (x2 with my employer match) to the same charity. So Smile donations will barely register compared with active, intentional giving.
