If you're ordering something for ultra-fast same-day delivery, surely you know precisely where you want it delivered to at the time of ordering?
Same here. I kept notebook full of solutions I have found. My favourite trick was to use sets of 2 pieces placed next to each other that could be flipped without need to rearange other pieces. This way I could get 2 slightly different solutions in one shot.

They're certainly not countering my post, since there isn't any of mine to reply to.

Here's what I see: jordigh says he wishes people would learn about the hundred flowers campaign so they won't make such bad allusions by accident. coldtea counters this saying that it's not actually bad. seiji agrees with coldtea and attempts to offer further support by saying that people don't learn about this stuff anyway.

Not so?
I wonder how the fingerprints will be stored. Secure from access by the operating system? Or will they be uploaded to Google like wifi passwords?
MHL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link

Not widely supported, but it's basically power-over-HDMI among other things.
It has been out for quite a while, pretty sure it also was for Yosemite. There is also a public beta for iOS9.
How is the Chromecast for direct local streaming? Does everything have to go through Google's servers?
the old one i have has a flexible extender cable as well
I agree that it's not a great idea, but I assume it has something to do with the abnormally high current that it can provide.
Really, it's "entitlement" to expect that newly purchased clothes don't come with a foul smell?

And again, cigarette smoke does not necessarily wash out as easily as you seem to think it does.

Would you be as understanding of the driver if he got ice cream all over the clothes instead? After all, wash it and it'll come out.

The author forgets to mention that using genetic information for hiring decisions is illegal. It has been since 2008 when Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
And another version release updating apps I don't use, ushering in new interfaces nobody wants, while leaving core infrastructure (e.g. containerization, a better launchd interface for an amazing init system, an ancient filesystem, allowing things like rendering contexts across process bounderies, etc) leave me scratching my head. I feel like they're trying to convince me to abandon my tools because they have been messing with them for next to no reason since snow leopard. (exception: I love the app store and sandboxing.)
Fast, Cheap and Out of Control (1989) [pdf]
My wife and I have identical refurb Air 2012s, I bought mine with Mavericks, hers came with Yosemite. There's maybe a 6 month difference between them.

My battery life way better than hers. I'd suspect hardware, but the battery capacities check out ok. Hers just sucks the juice way faster than mine.
I just installed a couple old CCs at the office, and the old rigid form factor can sometimes be tricky to plug into some TVs, due to the mounting brackets sitting right on top of the video connectors. Bad design from the TV makers? Yes, but the flexible dongle would never have this issue.
Transparency at Work: How Open Should You Be?
Very little goes through google's servers, actually. "Casting" something from your phone/tablet to the chromecast is just sending it a url (and a timestamp if you were already watching on your phone). Then it streams locally.

So, for example, you can stream from Plex and not touch Google servers at all.
I believe the flexible part also includes a longer antenna for the dual band receiver and as others have stated the poor fit with some tvs.

That's a pretty major gripe in my book. The beauty of the USB charger is that they continue to be useful when the standard changes to the next connector type. My USB chargers dutifully charge my regular (battery), mini (camera), and micro (phone) devices without protest.
As far as I know, Chromecast supports handoff very well. I've used my Chromecast for things like Netflix, but my primary use-case is Videostream for direct streaming of local files.

That's a fair point, but what else would you do? I guess have another USB-C connector on the charger base and the cable is basically an extension?
PEGs can sometimes be pretty unintuitive. For example, consider the grammar

("a" / "aa") "a"

in a traditional BNF setting, this grammar could match the string aa or the string aaa. However, this PEG will only accept the string aa, and cannot match the string aaa.

(This is because of how backtracking works in PEGs—or, more precisely, how it doesn't work. With the input string aaa, we'll first try to match ("a" / "aa") against the input in a left-biased way, which succeeds because "a" matches. Then we'll try to match the second expression—"a"—which also matches. Now we are done with the grammar but still have the last a in the input, so the grammar fails. There were untried alternatives, but they only appeared in earlier parts of the grammar which had already 'succeeded', so we never go back and try them.)

Additionally, both LR and PEG parsers take linear time to parse a given input, but PEG/packrat parsing has much larger constant factors. On small examples, this might not be a big deal (what's 0.2 seconds compared to 0.02 seconds when loading a file?) but when doing large amounts of parsing it can definitely be a minus on the PEG/Packrat side.
> voters will probably need to primary him out

Voters are not going to dump Senator Whitehouse over this proposed amendment, and don’t “probably need” to do anything.

First, in general Senator Whitehouse is great, I’d say among my top 10 favorite Senators (I’m from California, so not a constituent, just a fan). Second, this EFF blog post has decontextualized and exaggerated the effects of this change to the point of absurdity. Third, a small proportion of the general public is worried at all about the CFAA.
Interesting, there is also a Chromecast Audio:

https://store.google.com/product/chromecast_audio

I've been looking for something similar, only on the iOS side of things.

I've been thinking about just getting the little Sabrent Puck (http://amzn.to/1NZYp6w) or an Airport Express and attach it to a studio monitor. Alternatively just getting a USB powered speaker and run both items from a powered USB Hub.

Alternatively, there is also the "professional" way out using a Sonos Play or Bose Soundtouch.

Two speakers would be for bathrooms (think: NPR in the shower, podcasts in the bathtub), one would be for the kitchen / living room area.

Any one have any good/bad experiences with airplay compatible setups?

I'm by no way an audiophile and most of my content is "spoken word" anyway.
Though hard to say if this is true, it seemed their argument during the presentation was that the bigger sensor/pixels in both devices make up for the lack of OIS, and they specifically compared performance against the Nexus 6.
A lot of people are saying that the oneplus one has unreliably hardware and buggy software. Reliability is much more important to me than saving a few bucks. I was planning on getting the Note 5 when the 64gb variant is available in Canada, but now I'm considering the 6P.
I'm not sure what Eric Cantor has to do with this issue. Clearly some candidates do lose primary challenges. Is it your argument that "Your Rights Online" advocacy has as much of a grassroots as hard-right-wing conservatism? How well-attended was the largest Y.R.O. demonstration? How would that compare to conservative demonstrations?

Obviously, my subtext is that the belief that there's a potent grassroots waiting to be activated over Y.R.O. issues is an online echo-chamber fallacy.
The 1.55 micrometer pixel sensors are interesting. If they actually do what they're supposed to, then exposure times should be decreased which would theoretically reduce the usefulness of OIS. I guess we'll see once the reviews start coming in.
Handoff should work with just local bluetooth.

And "Siri suggestions" appears on the spotlight search screen to the left / when dragging downwards, so it is not at all obvious what the difference between "siri" and "spotlight" is. Yes, even when I want to do a local spotlight search.
Awesome! Thanks for the link
You can still donate money to a campaign aimed at defeating the incumbent in an upcoming primary, even if you live in a different state (or country). Sadly, the fuel of political campaigns is still money, and it's hard to compete with a candidate with more name recognition and incumbent status without spending a LOT of money.
I think writing a long post about your experiences of C++ vs Java would be great (I'd pay you in [choose your drinks and count] for it ;)).
I still have that phone and I can't imagine upgrading. Anything 5" and up doesn't fit well in my hand, and I'm a relatively big guy. The specs are more than enough for my needs, phone, work, messaging, music.
Gattaca[1] is a fun sci-fi movie depicting a world where gene selection is predominant and workforce selection is based on genetics. It's pretty entertaining, and not a half bad look at the problems of that society.

Nope. Although, you can get 4 hours of use from a 10 minute charge over USB-C, so perhaps plopping it down on a pad for 8 hours isn't as convenient an alternative as it used to be.

Maybe I was incredibly lucky, but whenever someone rails against how awful the "standard" math education is, and recommends a "better way", I note that the "better way" was how I was taught.

I suspect what happens is that students forget some of the good basic ideas (or is that "basic good ideas" ;-) ) they were taught, and teachers fail to re-emphasize them to keep students on track, and so all they remember is the formal/abstract techniques they spent a login time struggling with. Painful experiences stick in our memort more than smooth easy experiences.
The US prices are reasonable, but the UK prices are just horrendous. £500 for the 6P brings it out of the range of "I'm due an upgrade anyway" into luxury territory.

I think I'll stick with my Nexus 5.
Does it finally support MHL?

The specs seem to imply it:

Requirements
TV with an HDMI port
Wi-Fi network
Wi-Fi enabled supported device

But it still comes with a power supply...

I've been looking for a usable (high enough performance), MHL-enabled Miracast dongle for a long time... The Microsoft Wireless Display Adapater comes close but doesn't support MHL and is too expensive.

Hopefully this new Chromecast is it..
It may be, but you only have to buy one high-speed (U3?) microSD card once (every 4-6 years), while if you need 128GB storage in your phone but it only comes as internal, then with every phone you buy you'll have to pay that extra premium.
Honestly I think the increased use of adblockers is pushing us towards a situation where we will get our content from a "walled garden" like Apple News, Google Play Newsstand, or, in the near future, some sort of Facebook integrated news reader.
MyDetails – The Interactive Business Card
4 Scientifically Proven Methods to Increase Your Productivity
Think about the same project being attempted now. Unemployment is now officially pretty low, but I believe the numbers omit people who are "underemployed", (e.g. part time when they would prefer full, no longer looking for work). Pay would likely be very low, and unions have been pretty much busted, so no more collective bargaining. Maybe fewer would die. Environmental review would probably take place, but a large enough corporation seems to be able to bully its way through anything. The main difference I see is that corporations have become more expert at modifying the system to suit their own interests.

And of course, this country is no longer capable of doing large projects (or even basic maintenance) because congress is completely broken. How's that highway trust fund coming along?
Well, I read Richardson's paper. Here are a couple of tasty quotes:

“Baron-Cohen suggests that the higher prevalence in crime, sexual abuse, the use of prostitutes and murder are disproportionately committed by men and show that men lack empathy in comparison to females [8].”

“This narrative is also replayed in the production of video nasties, sexual abuse images of children in virtual reality settings [11] and the sexual and racial violence seen in some video games such as Grand Theft Auto where gamers are rewarded for killing prostitutes [12].”

I don't think Richardson is jealous of prostitutes, I think she is convinced by evidence that the sex crimes discussed in this paper are predominantly committed by men. I'm convinced too, but I don't accept that it follows that men in general lack empathy. It could be the case that rapists and murderers, while predominantly male, are not representative of the modal male.

I think the problem with the hypothesis that sex crimes are caused by a lack of empathy in men is that the average empathy of a gender is not sufficient to explain the behavior of all it's members.

So for an example of a similar argument applied to women:
Most infanticide is committed by women. Therefore, women are less empathetic on average then men.

Should we ban dolls that objectify babies, or should we look for some other explanation?
Spotify SDK – Entity Oriented SDK Written in ES6
It's a great feature in general. I've had the google charging orb since the nexus 4 and not having to worry about unplugging/plugging in the phone is so nice. This is probably going to stop me from getting either of these new phones.
> I reran the benchmarks. I had removed 50% of calls to a function that took 10% of our time, and the code overall was now 20% (twenty percent!) faster.

This reminds me on another comment I read on HN, that I consider something of a "performance paradox": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9895531
I would imagine they implemented it exactly like Google in that they're stored only on the OS and it needs your code to decrypt them. Anything else just doesn't sit right.
Huh, I've actually been wanting something like this for my Macbook for travel (since the USB-C cable is charge-only anyways, it doesn't do me a lot of good for it to have two ends -- I'm not going to be plugging it into untrusted USB ports to charge anyways). Compactness is much more important to me. Will have to see what people say about the durability though.

EDIT: Of course, the wattage is too low, so no dice anyways.
You can cast tabs from Chrome on Linux. What support are you asking about? Any developer can choose to implement the Chromecast API.
Wow, I have never interviewed at a company that asked for formal rules of big-O. And of course most professionals at those same companies (you've heard of them) tend to use "O()" to mean "approximately" or "on the order of", as in "O(1000)"
I listen to music on my (underground, subway) commute to work, so I really need that storage.
If by that you mean "there's amazing backwards compatibility" then yes.

Yes, because power over HDMI is rare.

My concern is - can it still work with power provided by a regular USB socket on the TV? The specs claim it needs a 1 amp power supply, and most sockets can't do that much.

Maybe the specs overstate it.
Only partially. OIS is still useful for video stabilization. Bigger pixels won't help there.
That's what it means to be a traitor, isn't it?

If someone lives an otherwise law-abiding life, and commits ONE crime, would you not call him a criminal as long as his total contribution was net positive?
Focusing only, or mostly, on formal structure always[0] seemed to me to be just a failure of teacher at introspection. For instance when using your native language, if you stop and look at your own thought process, you'll quickly realize that you don't consciously invoke any grammar rules. In fact, the brain doesn't have enough computing power to explicitly build sentences by applying grammar rules, not if you want to have a conversation. It should be obvious, on introspection, that formal structure can be only a scaffolding for building your cache.

[0] - For things you learn to use all the time, or to leverage your cognitive process. The obvious exceptions are things you want to do with mindless precision, where the risk of guessing wrong is unacceptable. Compare public speaking to memorizing a poem, or guesstimating to doing explicit pen and paper arithmetics.

Yes, about a company losing business, but also about surveillance of foreign business entities (Brazil in this case)

Also France (below), and yes, the information was shared:

From http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/29/new-wikileaks-documents-rev...

"According to an economic espionage order, the NSA intercepted all French corporate contracts and negotiations valued at more than $200 million in many different industries, such as telecommunications, electrical generation, gas, oil, nuclear and renewable energy, and environmental and healthcare technologies.

A second economic espionage order called “France: Economic Developments” shows that information was then shared with other U.S. agencies and secretaries, including the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Commerce, the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of Treasury. Eventually, this data could have been used to help sign export deals."
They do boot over the network for hardware testing. That doesn't help them if the problem is in your software install.

Chromecast is neither Miracast compatible nor does it receive power from HDMI.
This is probably right.

They mention: "15W of power so you can charge your USB Type-C enabled phones and tablets quickly. Also works with large USB Type-C devices, like laptops.¹".

And the footnote: "¹Wattage is optimized for smaller devices, like phones and tablets. Larger devices, like laptops, will take longer to charge. Delivers maximum charge speed to Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Charge time depends on USB Type-C device. Larger devices, such as the Chromebook Pixel, will typically need more charge time with this adapter (Pixel estimated charge time is 5.6 hours at 15W with system off)."
What Linux support do you want exactly? Controlling a Chromecast from Chrome on Linux works fine.
Interesting idea! Wait, here’s another: maybe you could take your regular grammar that accepts some large number of things that a context-free grammar it’s emulating would accept, and implement it using a stack or something. That would save space and remove the arbitrary restriction.
$379, not $399. There's an optional $69 2-year protection plan, which would cost $99 from SquareTrade. It also comes with a $50 Play Store credit. If you would've spent the money on the warranty and Play Store anyway, that makes it a $300 phone.
ROA: this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. I'm not surprised such a thing exists, but as a native speaker who has done a whole lot of writing I find it amusing I've made it for so long without ever encountering the attempts to formalize it.

I don't run an ad-blocker and I don't run into too many problems. I avoid sites that annoy me with ads, it's pretty simple. I actually have the reverse outlook that you have. I feel like most people over-exagerrate the ad problem to more easily justify running an ad-blocker.
Maybe it's not worth it to you but I'd love to see a comparison between the phones you listed but also toss the iPhone 6S+ in there. I don't have any brand loyalty and bounce back and forth between iOS and Android so it's always helpful for me when someone includes the iPhone in comparison.
Odd. I'm guessing you both use them fairly similarly?

I'm not saying Yosemite is perfect; I'm sure there were problems with it at the start. To me, the original person I responded to seemed to kind of just make a blanket statement and I wanted to make sure it was known that there are counter-examples (based on anecdotal evidence anyway).
