To be fair this isn't the best UI for git. We were waiting for the mirror to Github to be set up, so we decided to just include the link to the Apache git repo UI to be safe the link was live when the press announcements went out.

Only in an indirect sense. AFAIK all UK banks will reimburse any fraudulent transactions; they've decided that the increased use is worth more than the costs of fraudulent transactions.

Obviously the public feels there is a benefit using contactless cards over cash, or we wouldn't be using them.

Not that I know of. Like others have said you can pull a backup (but the machine backing up had to have been trusted prior or you're SOL) and then restore the phone.

Nothing's bulletproof but the iPhone is the most trustworthy IMHO.
You can use swipe in some places in the UK, but then you have to wait for the receipt to print, the cashier to find a pen, you have to sign it and the cashier has to verify it, click on the terminal that they did, and get a final receipt printed. It's even more hassle than typing in a pin.
Part of the point of BI is that you can do what you want with it.

Yes, the poor would be disadvantaged by this. The solution isn't to take away everyone's ability to take loans on BI; this would leave people unable to take loans on their BI once they've got a stable income. The answer is to educate, to explain that taking that lump sum leaves you unable to use BI later when you need it. At most, pass a regulation stating that loaners are liable if they don't make it clear that the loan is paid off with BI over the course of X years.
"In the areas I spot checked it was more in the range of $2.5-$3k/mo."
Exactly my point. The rent has to be above the mortgage payment by a good deal to make buying pencil out. If, as in your example, the equivalent rent is 25% less than the mortgage payment would be, buying doesn't come out ahead at all, nevermind by "large and unambiguous margins."

Your analysis link makes the same handwavey errors you did in your initial breakdown -- maintenance costs far too low, ignoring other costs involved with homeownership, etc. Interestingly enough, the link has a postscript where he redoes the analysis after people point out those errors with just a couple of those factored in (not all of them) and concludes that the renter would just about make his money back -- and that's with a rent payment about the same as the mortgage payment, not 25% less.

I see your point. Defying a order from a democratic government is a big deal.

But Apple isn't saying they wont do it. They just want to make it really clear that they're not happy about it and they want the government to change their mind.

The government still has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force.

I'm not sure what the "health" of a language is; the power/influence of a language, however, is a direct factor of the power/influence of its main speakers, and doesn't have anything to do with spelling. English is the world language because of the US economy; when French was the language of reference, orthographe hadn't happened yet.

Regarding terrorism: current French "terrorists" are misfits; and I use quotes not because their acts aren't despicable or horrible, but because their main purpose isn't to terrorise (in order to obtain something by way of fear). It's to exact vengeance (as you'll learn if you watch their videos, they say as much). They are not in pursuit of any kind of political gain; they want to inflict pain and nothing else.

Orthographe, in my (controversial) view, is not a cause and probably not even a factor, but really a symptom of how French society works; and the way it works is, it upsets everyone except the very elite.
As long as anything like this exists, and can be used to flash a new system image while data remains intact, then Apple claiming they have a system secure against government is extremely negligent.

An OS signing key is never a replacement for a bona-fide user-initiated upgrade intent.

In designs with trusted hardware to prevent evil maid attacks, the boot trust chain should use a hash rather than a signature. This hash is updated only when the trusted chip is already unlocked.

To avoid creating useless bricks, said trusted hardware should allow the option to wipe everything simultaneously. But nothing more granular.
The picture says "18 teaspoons".
It's not just PR. It's actually really hurting their company. Weaker security means less data can be stored on the iPhone which means less need for it, which means fewer sales.

High altitude trekking in mountains is even better than long distance running, at least in terms of breathing and sweating.)

The crucial difference is in variety of breathing patterns on a trail - it changes with a terrain, in contrast to steady breath while running on a flat surface.

I do both - moderate distance running (10-15km) and up to 6000m trekking as a guide.

I wonder if there has been any study regarding the head impact involved with running for long periods of time. I've heard for instance the water-skiing can cause minor brain damage because of the constant bumps in the water. I'm curious because I know that running involves a similar kind of minor - although constant - head impact as your body jumps out of each stride. I have no data to back this up so sorry if I'm just blabbering nonsense.
An intermediate step between "send in a resume and cover letter that no one reads" and "send in an unsolicited blow-their-minds project", which may well bounce off the same spam or attention filter which bounces a resume, is "convince one person in the company that they want you to apply there."

This is much, much less difficult than engineers think it is. People with hiring authority are on the same Internet you are. They use the same email / Twitter / etc. THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Engineers are in incredible demand.

They get a steady stream of resumes from people who are wildly unqualified for the job. That is one reason why they're not going to read your resume when you send it in unless their prior expectation is that you're interesting.

It is not harder to be interesting than "someone I've never heard of or met." "Hey Bob, I watched your presentation at $CONFERENCE last year on Youtube. Great stuff; loved what you did with $FOO, in particular $COMMENT_PROVING_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOU'RE_TALKING_ABOUT. I'm also a $FOO developer. Do you have a few minutes to chat on Thursday about what you guys are doing?"

You're not proposing marriage here. You're asking for 15 minutes to get to know them. You do not have to author a heartbreaking work of staggering genius to make this call happen.

Your goal for the chat: get Bob enthusiastic enough to either suggest "Hey you should apply here" or be receptive to you suggesting "Hey, I really like what you're doing, and would like to see if I could be a part of it. Can you get the ball rolling for me?"

n.b. If you want to knock someone's socks off with a demo of e.g. an application which uses their API, use the above to get one person enthusiastic about reviewing the demo, then implement. If you can't get one person enthusiastic about the prospect of looking at your work, there's sharply limited odds that actually doing the work meaningfully advances your interests.

I think it works a lot better when you're 20 because people hire you based on potential. But when you're 30 hiring managers want to see skills. I suppose it could still work if you're changing careers, but you would need to demonstrate an even higher level of hunger and dedication.
I'm curious: is it likely that Apple was under a gag order regarding the backdoor proposals/discussions?

I've always wondered why large tech companies/corporations abide by such orders instead of speaking out. Even if Apple was under a gag order, they've created a PR nightmare for the alphabet agencies; Apple could be pursued in court, but that pursuit would now likely be done in the face of negative public opinion.

I'm not sure where the click-bait is. The title of the article is consistent with the content, i.e., many beverages at Starbucks have a lot of sugar content. Whether that comes from adding sugar or adding ingredients which are naturally sweet is not the point of the article.

> It's probably important to note that it's not only "flavored" drinks, milk has quite a bit of sugar in it naturally,

True, but is milk the sole responsible for the high sugar content in a latte?

> the "special" milk which is used by some coffee places has about 9% fat and 2-3% carbohydrates which makes it worse than coke on it's own,

Well, if "special" means "processed", then this again proves the point of the article. No matter where or how the sugar is added, these drinks have quite a lot of it.

> skimmed usually have higher amounts of sugar to make it not taste like well the water it is

Confirms the point above.

> It's also probably worth noting that a Starbucks "Venti" size is more than double the the volume of a coke can to begin with so about 680ml (espresso shot which is used as the base is only about 30ml) of milk + couple of sugar spoons to make it sweet can easily get to 2-3 times the amount of sugar in coke

Perhaps not for the same volume. Many fast food chains sell sodas in cups that are 2-3 times the volume of a 33cl can.

> without even having to go overboard with crap like whipped cream and syrups.

Again, consistent with the article's point. The numbers are there, and they seem to be higher than the recommended daily amount of sugar intake.

>> That would be extremely ill-advised considering the US committed to defending Taiwan.

Maybe ten years ago, I would say it would never happen.

However, fighting several wars in the middle east, the Russian annexation of Crimea and the US not doing anything, let alone NATO not doing anything, leads me to hesitate to say anything would be done to stop it. Maybe this changes over the next decade, but if it were to happen soon, I have my doubts the US would have the moral constitution to do anything to stop it.
While on the topic is there some cheap alternatives to this that can function as a VGA/DVI/HDMI-display+USB-keyboard out today? Also would this support to use the keyboard over usb instead of Bluetooth?

But then you usually have to sign as well. Chip and PIN transactions don't need a signature, and in my experience the total time to swipe+sign is about the same same as insert+pin.

Contactless payments don't need a signature or a PIN, so they're significantly quicker.
>Anyone getting basic income should be completely free to spend it any way they want.

Such as to pay off a loan? Therein lies the problem: if you make it illegal to lend money explicitly based on BI, and the debtor pays with BI, who is liable? And if someone is liable, is the debtor truly free to spend BI as they wish? If nobody is liable, then what stops me from claiming that my BI is instead my paycheck, and then taking a loan based on it?
Unless, of course, physical cash no longer exists, and all you have is some sort of ephemeral digital cash in a financial institution that can be easily subject to a negative interest rate policy. A bank balance can lose nominal value with NIRP, but cash in-hand can't. Hence, the War on Cash.

If you think that places me on the other side of the argument (it doesn't), that's on you. It simply puts me in the middle.

I've re-read your comment several times, and I don't get how it's novel or how it applies here. Of course it could be true in this case, as it could be true in any decision any company makes. But I don't see how it's insightful or proves or suggests that Apple is doing the same.

You're not some kind of martyr for the anti-Apple cause here. I think we all know that Apple could be saying one thing and doing another. That doesn't mean that they are, and it doesn't mean that this open letter is proof that they are.

Not only that, all desktop OSes are regressing. Well, windows 10 is an improvement over the massive shitstorm of Windows 8 where Microsoft apparently tried to commit corporate suicide.

Ubuntu and desktop linux continue to be extremely frustrating. I tried Suse, Ubuntu, and Mint in the last box I built for Xmas, and Ubuntu was the only one that installed cleanly, a marked improvement from the previous couple releases.

OSX is hardware-locked and it has many many problems and frustrations, especially if you are used to key bindings from the PC / Linux realm.

Desktop/laptop is steadily dying. We are all basically waiting on a hybrid of Android to take over desktop.

I continue to be mystified as to why Google does not pursue a desktop Linux operating system that's good. (aka not ChromeOS). It's a gigantic market to take over that Microsoft was begging someone to take from them throughout the Windows 8 debacle. With an unnoticeable hit to their bottom line they could assemble a team that would clean up Crossoffice, merge with Android, make tons of money from Android app store, get search/voice search/services integration at the OS...

ChromeOS could/should be this, but either it's not properly funded to handle the Windows interoperability (put/fund WINE on steroids) more seamlessly or doesn't have very good people on it.

What really matters to users
I'm not sure I'm conveying my point here clearly. I feel almost upset that the Polish part of her surname is omitted pretty much everywhere but Poland, since that is something that to herself was of great value, for reasons brought up by other commenters. Not adding it feels like it almost insults what she believed in, and strips her legacy to bare scientific achievements.

I don't know how else to describe it, maybe if Alexander Graham Bell had another surname, say French or German, and people everywhere were using that instead, without ever mentioning Bell? Would that be an understandable example then?
It's completely possible to design an algorithm that will give a deterministic result in every case. It might not always be the result you want, but a judge might not give the result you want either. And at least with the algorithm the result is predictable (even if not predicted) and, if wrong, can be fixed and then apply consistently in the future without making decisions based on politics or race or personal relationships.

Or to put it another way, we could have an algorithm make the decision but then have a judge whose job it is to find when the algorithm is wrong and then fix it for future but not past/current cases.
The OP says that it works on x64 too.
This assumes the service has already been rendered. If I own a store and you want to buy a candy bar from me, I can end the transaction when you attempt to pay me with a $100 bill. Since I haven't actually given you ownership of the candybar, there is no debt in place, yet. A restaurant doesn't have the same freedom, since they generally accept payment after the service is completed and you already owe them the debt for the meal.
