Are you really saying The Guardian is higher-brow than The Economist? As a regular reader of both I would never have guessed it. (I'm not British, if it matters.)
This is blatantly political content with no redeeming qualities. It's even worse than that. Author's primary concern is how the creeper-in-chief makes him look abroad.

He owns a passport and travels internationally, a real citizen of the world. Preening and identity politics all the way down.

Here's a thought, don't invest your ego into some guy's political career and don't vote because of how it makes you feel and what it signals to your friends. You will make better decisions and stomach consequences easier.
A hypothetical second Snowden wouldn't really know what files the first Snowden is leaking though.
I take it you don't use xcode then...?

But seriously, what are you demonstrating here by providing an anecdote? I've got some of my own: I use osx and windows 7/8 extensively every day, and (except xcode!) neither of them crashes with even the slightest degree of regularity: they're both great operating systems.

But of course, neither are evidence of any form to support the claim "x is better than y". Which is good, because it's a stupid debate anyway.
Seconding Max/MSP, you can write C code in it thanks to "gen".
Considering the original comment said "Anything which supports/encourages the Palestinians making their own lives better and producing stuff which doesn't explode...", I'm glad they made a reply to it.

Confession time. I have an Emotional Support Dog that flies with me for free. The certificate cost $250 per year (or rather, the airlines require a prescription letter dated within 1 year of your flight). I obtained it without lying. I answered every questions honestly, though I am capable of flying without my dog. Yes, I have anxiety, like any person. Yes, my dog makes me feel better, like (I assume) anyone with a dog. Boom, certificate.

Technically this means I can bring my dog literally anywhere, but I only use it for flying. When on the train, the dog resides in a backpack that meets the "carrier" qualification. I don't take her in restaurants or movie theaters like a huge douche.

Why do I think it's OK? Well, it's a long list. First, the airlines will not allow dogs over 17 pounds as carry-on, even in a carrier. They won't let you buy an additional seat for the dog, even in a carrier. 18lbs = under the plane. 2 hours early, dog fucking terrified, so you probably have to Benadryl the pup, and they've been known to freeze to death under there. Nope Nope Nope.

This all makes no sense. If I buy a second seat, the size of the dog should not matter. Tiny dog in carrier is just as loud as big dog in carrier.

Toddlers fly for free and scream like fucking maniacs. 5 year olds buy a seat and scream and play iPad games on full volume.

My dog sits underneath the seat in front of me and doesn't move. I've had a 2 hour flight where people in my row did not know a dog was on the plane until we got off.

My dog's extremely well trained. She doesn't have breakfast on flight days, and I feed her a few ice cubes so she isn't crazy thirsty the whole trip. No chance of a mid-aisle poop, any more so than the old lady two rows up might. She doesn't bark, etc.

I do get that it's hard to have rules such as "your dog can fly with you if they aren't a huge fucking pain".

Two years ago tons of dogs were flying for free. Now you have to pay an extra $50 to have your doctor answer calls from the airline to confirm, and it's back down to where I rarely see another dog in the airport.

Some of you have treated me of an idiot. Some have insulted me in other ways. Some have said I am being dramatic and all.

Now you are are saying something has gone badly in my life, yet you know close to nothing of me outside this opinion that I have. Wow.

These "intangibles" can still have a value assigned. Each integration bug eliminated by an improved build process can have a cost assigned to it by using the average time and money cost of previously fixed integration bugs. Example: "Each integration bug costs 1hr of senior dev time at $100/hr fully loaded and 8hrs of junior dev time at $50/hr. The new build process produces X fewer integration bugs per month, for a savings of X*$500 per month."

"Transforming" the sales numbers should also be measurable. Example: "Before, salespeople were closing x% of deals and missing scheduled followup on y% of contacts. Now (x+5)% of deals close and only (y/2)% of contacts are mistakenly dropped."

I can't believe what I'm reading from jrockway, a Google employee whose past comments seem very level-headed, in these threads. I _REALLY HOPE_ your account has been hijacked because if a person like you really holds these opinions then I must be a very, very horrible judge of character. Makes me wonder about all the people around me that I think are on the same wave-length when it comes to the whole terrorism & FUD thing. I feel betrayed somehow. If this is really you then it shows just how far & deep the terrorism-FUD has reached. Or maybe it's just me who had no idea until now, just how fearful the american public has become. Reading these comments from you is almost like imagining Stephen Colbert saying this stuff. I'd just assume his twitter account was hacked or it was April fool's.

SEEKING WORK

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Remote OK

I have 4 years experience building iOS apps and 7 years experience overall. I can build iOS apps in Swift or ObjC, and I have backend experience working with python + django and coffeescript(node.js) + express. I have extensive experience working with SQL (mysql and postgres) and nosql databases (mongodb, couchdb, redis). I can also do configuration work on AWS or Google cloud.

The main iOS app I have worked on the past 4 years is Fleck (getfleck.com). It has been featured by Apple as “Best New App” and one of the “Best Apps of May 2015” in 137 countries.

Contact me at eternalprogrammer@gmail.com if interested.
I found I got better grades when i wrote lab reports in TeX.
Well it's not entirely a fair comparison since iMessage doesn't support in-app services and purchasing like Facebook Marketplace, as WhatsApp does. For which naturally it has to gather additonal data.

Also until iMessage is available on other platforms, what it slurps or doesn't slurp is academic for most users of WhatsApp.
> Maybe the DC Guard is under some direct Executive Branch control

Indeed it is. Since DC has no governor, the US president is the CINC of the DC National Guard.

Hence it is particularly damning that while the DCNG was activated two days in advance as the terrorist threat to DC became evident, the White House did not give the go-ahead for them to come to the aid of the Capitol Police.

Apparently this permission eventually came late in the day after events were already under control, reportedly conveyed by the Pentagon on orders of Pence rather than Trump.
> It is admirable that signal is not using any identifiable data

They don't need to. You identify yourself within the app with your login.

> It says Imessage can link to your device id

While iMessage is vulnerable to (certain) MiTM attacks, and storing your message archive in iCloud is (was ?) unencrypted, iMessage is surprisingly resilient to attacks (on the protocol itself).

Every iOS/Mac device generates it's own key and uploads the public certificate to Apple's keyserver, this is why they need your device id.

When you send messages with iMessage, your device then contacts Apple's keyservers, gets ALL public certificates for the recipient, and encrypts the message once for every key, and sends an encrypted message per device.

Attachments are handled a bit different. Insted of encrypting the attachment n times, a new key is generated, which is then used to encrypt the attachement, the encrypted attachment is uploaded to Apple, and the key is sent using normal iMessage messages (encrypted)

Your private keys NEVER leave your device, so iMessage is end to end encrypted as long as you don't enable iMessage in iCloud.

I said that iMessage was vulnerable to MiTM attacks, which it is. There's nothing stopping Apple from adding a "shadow" device to your list of devices with it's own set of keys, which would then receive a copy of every message sent to you, and that's probably how iMessage in iCloud works, but they have no way of retrieving your message history from before the shadow device was added.

There's a somewhat recent (2016) paper on it here : http://www.cs.tufts.edu/comp/116/archive/fall2016/xshi.pdf
If they created that analog dominance, it’s hard for me to see that as rent-seeking. Cash cowing perhaps.

Nice! Plain and simple. A quick way to test things out.
There's a point of difference though which is quite important especially for teaching: Thonny also works with MicroPython, i.e. it can do things like giving you a REPL which directly talks to the MicroPython interpreter running on a controller like ESP32 (so you say led.On() and the actual hardware LED goes on), upload code to it, has shims for common MicroPython modules which are implented in C (iirc), etc.
I checked this as a reference when I implemented this p5js sketch (note that the link takes you to a blog post with how it works and inspiration, the first link in the post is to the sketch proper) [1] but never went into the hard optimisations once I got it working.

Your article doesn't really support your position: "The government says families in the top-third income bracket will spend $279,450 to raise a child born in 2005 through age 17 -- or about $16,000 a year. "

Also from the article:

"Add in extras like private school, a nanny and a flat-screen TV set in a kid's bedroom, and that figure climbs to $1.6 million."

"In San Diego, Jacqueline Jones recently rang in her fifth year with a $1,000 mermaid-theme party. The fête, held at a community pool, included a piñata, pizza, cake, juice boxes, customized goodie bags for 20 and a former beauty queen who arrived dressed head to toe as Ariel, the Disney princess."

"...toddlers in $800 strollers to 10-year-olds with cellphones. But for many families, drawing the line between attentive parenting and extravagance is a tough call;..."

"School itself is just the beginning. It might mean paying $16,500 in annual property taxes in an area with top public schools like Millburn, N.J., ..." (Note: Millburn has a median house price of $1 million, and a median income of $150k/year.)

[edit, in response to your edit: the USDA comes up with $11-13k for two-parent families with income of $57-98k/year. That's about $230k/child over 18 years, for a group of families all of whom are richer than average.]
Good point. I fully admit that I assumed that my password wasn't truncated. I should probably frontload as well.
Depends on location + company/role. Other comments point out location is important and I agree. But almost as important is what kind of company you are at--salary at a tech company where you are creating and building new products is different from salary at a cable company where you are maintaining products someone else built. As an engineer, your job is to find ways to improve the business, work your ass off to implement them, and then build the tools so that less skilled people can manage your creations. Keep creating value in this manner and you'll see your salary skyrocket. Though if you are at a company where they would rather have you sit on your ass doing nothing than being a go-getter (as I learned the hard way), get off your ass and look for a better job.
I don't consider 13 days notice to be graceful. Imagine someone going on holidays for two weeks and coming back to find out their beloved video is lost forever.

Google isn't obligated to give a fair amount of notice but it'd be a nice thing to do. Don't be evil.
> Because there are far too many awesome things I want to do that day, and as soon as I wake up they pop into my head.

Sounds like a description of what it's like to be a morning person, rather than how to become one. I do not wake up full of excitement and ideas for the day. I wake up pissed. But by the end of the day I'm full of inspiration and generally get a lot done in the evenings. I don't know if this is something you can change about yourself, at least not easily.
The only problem I ran into was that there was no download link/button. Despite what their directions said, I currently have no way to download my old video because there's no link!

The Y/Y inflation-adjusted increase in housing prices in Canada excluding Greater Vancouver is 2.5%. The Y/Y inflation-adjusted increase in housing prices in Greater Vancouver is 12%.

If inflation plus 2.5% is a bubble, it's a very very minor one. Inflation plus 12%, on the other hand, is definitely in bubble territory.

I've met one. He also didn't want gays in the military. This was because he wanted the entire concepts of marriage and the military not to exist in the first place though.

I do know quite a few folk who were against the civil partnership law in the UK, but that was because they wanted marriage equality, rather than a marriage-lite.
What actually happens despite how I think things work is reality. If I'm bad at judging the consequences of my actions then my view of reality is poor. Just because all knowledge is seen through lenses doesn't mean all lenses are equal. A person who can predict the consequences of actions accurately is seeing the world through clear lenses.

Thanks, I don't really need large framework for full blown app though.
The author posts clips like "Example 1. White, Pink, and Brown Noise - Uncompressed", but the audio files are hosted on SoundCloud. My experience on SoundCloud is that no matter what format you upload as, they always stream it down to you as a 128 kb/s MP3 or something like that. I think the author is better off self-hosting the WAV files?

> Listening tests, primarily designed by and for western-european men, and using the music they liked, were used to refine the encoder.

> As previously stated, the MP3 codec was refined using listening tests designed by european audio engineers and featuring the music they chose. In a sense, each of these songs acts as a resonant filter for every file encoded in the MP3 format.

Through a simple accusation of racial bias, the author seeks to undermine the technical work that went into the development of the MP3 codec.
That is not really how that works...

>Also what prevents one or a few companies from being very successful with their advertisement, becoming a oligopoly or even a monopoly and then inflating the price for more profit and to the disadvantage of the consumers?

I think this is just as muddy as the bits you pointed out. Incumbents don't need to advertise but new players do and they have a better chance to gain market share with targeted advertising due to more effective use of their often limited budgets.

As for how many people run Linux on bare metal on the Mac. That's hard to guess. Likely not a ton. But then... not a ton of anyone runs Linux as their primary desktop/ laptop so that's not surprising.
While the codecs have been central to RAD nearly from the start(Miles was the first product, closely followed by Smacker), the talent pool they have is exceptional across many other categories relevant to Epic - so there is an element of aquihire here, even considering the IP. It's probably a good time to exit since the alternative would mean coming up with a sufficiently awesome next-gen thing again, and even with experienced hands, that can be a moonshot.
It's a turning point. For the 1st time ever the tech giants asserted that their power in the internet is bigger then the government. It was kinda obvious the last few years, but remained implicit. Today the implicit became explicit. I'm sure it will have a profound impact on American democracy in the long run. Interesting times, indeed.
How do we know it happened many times, vs a single ancient origin with non-lethal random mutation experienced by different branches since then?

Nobody likes ads, but there are millions of businesses with ads being the only revenue source. No ads - no service. It's not because site owners want to show you ads, it's because they cannot sustain without not showing you these ads.

Is there a doctor in the town? A hospital? What happens if someone has a medical emergency - you said the only way to Anchorage in winter was by a train that often didn't come daily.

I just don't understand how these kinds of towns keep any residents. They seem downright dangerous to live in. In Russia, I can understand it, but these are US citizens who can get a flight down to a whole host of warm, easy towns and get any minimum wage job and still quite easily be better off than before.
