> "We have to put in our best efforts and then give ourselves permission to let whatever happens to happen"

A friend once shared how surfing illustrates how having a process driven approach vs. a result driven approach is beneficial.

In surfing you start off knowing the basics of how to get on the water, standing up on the board, and riding the wave. You may know the basics, but until you actually go out in the water, you're not going to know about what will happen. The waves may not be the right size to your liking. You could be having an off day and keep falling. Or you may be having a great day on the water. All of this are factors to you actually enjoying surfing.

Instead of focusing on trying to catch a good wave or catching many waves, you can focus on the process that is surfing. This way you can make incremental improvements to how you surf. You'll then see each wave as a new opportunity to gather more experience/data for the next time you try. And you can replace "surfing" with entrepreneurship, science, and many other areas.

With this mindset, you'll be able to let whatever happens to happen. Life is too short to always be chasing after the end goal. From my experience, after you attain the goal, you'll always have another goal in mind. You will never be truly satisfied.
Apple doesn't advertise it, but the iPhone 6 is pretty water proof. In this video it was left in the water with the screen on for >20 minutes and all happened was the speaker stopped working.

Not 5.0, and it's the applications, not Android. Things like the Kindle app and most Google apps refuse to run from, or store data on, the SDcard. My Galaxy S5 is constantly full, so full that the OS can't upgrade, even after I clear 5GB of space. I have a an SDcard where 100GB of 1TB is used, but am always running out of space, even after all of the apps that allow being moved the SDcard are moved there. It's a real problem.
WiFi Hacker – WiFi Password Hacking Software 2016
well there are two areas to my incredible claim :)

first is that the battery easily lasts me 2 days sometimes into a 3rd day if I use it a little less than normal.

however I only ever charge it for 15-20 minutes and in that time the fast charge gets me back up to 80something %. It is amazing how fast it charges. I never worry about the battery life on this phone which is the first time I have ever said that since smartphone came along.

for me the fast charging is actually the more important thing for me as being able to get 50+% battery charge in around 15 minutes is just awesome.

My mother sold encyclopaedia door-to-door briefly when I was a kid, and I read our set voraciously, every volume cover-to-cover. I really don't understand this dick-swinging competition where one encyclopaedia is considered to be some sort of godhead, and the next is considered to be a cesspit.

I mean hell, Wikipedia has already won the 'source of truth' argument against Britannica, with independent studies showing that the former had a lower error rate than the latter. That doesn't mean that Britannica is useless, but it does point out that a lot of misconceptions about Wikipedia are unfounded.

Firstly, the drivers should get a license to drive people around for profit (Personenbeförderungsschein). Every chauffeur has that.

Secondly, under current regulations unless you are a taxi you need to return to a designated premise after every trip. Every chauffeur needs to do that as well.

There is already a meaningful distinction in the law. The second restriction might be a bit harsh, but often Uber isn't even abiding by the first which is a pretty basic requirement.

> If the ads were not intrusive and destructive, they wouldn't take the trouble to block them.

Maybe if it had been like that from the beginning, but now, I see no turning back.

Adblockers started as a thing for techies and while we may care about tracking, malware and whatnot, my grandma uses Adblock because she thinks it looks nicer and loads faster. Now that she has it, I don't think she or many other ordinary Internet users outside techies, would willingly go back to see ads on websites again, even if the websites promised that their ads are less intrusive than before. No ads at all is still better.
>Altho I would not call this a "loophole" as this is the route Uber should have taken from the get go in those places where they don't allow those without Taxi licenses to operate Taxi services.

If Uber had done what you think they should have, then they would have never taken off. The difference between an cab and an uber is not yellow paint and a taxi light, or even a harder driving test. It's the absurd regulations around taxis that turned them into a government-sponsored cartel.

I have a Nexus 6P and got my wife a Nexus 5X thinking it would be a smaller version of basically the same thing. The 6P has been nice, but the 5X has all sorts of issues with bad performance. For example, opening the camera will often freeze the phone for 10-20 seconds. Google still hasn't fixed this after 4 months [1].

It frustrated my wife enough that we sold it and got a used Galaxy S6 instead. It worked a lot better overall (despite running an older version of Android).

It's really disappointing. On paper, the Nexus 5X looks like a great phone. But in practice, basic features like taking pictures don't work reliably.

Hello world.

I have a different gripe with Wikipedia that has nothing to do with whether articles within it are factual or not: poor writing style.

Wikipedia editor guidelines encourage cooperation and consensus, but this regularly results in edit wars, where editors aggressively delete each other's edits. To resolve this, editors will usually resort to an unspoken system in which one editor will write one fragment of a sentence and cite sources for that fragment, the other editor writes the next fragment and cites it and so on. The result is a horrible mess that, although most likely entirely factual, is perfectly unreadable.

Worse yet, it is very difficult to simply copy such a paragraph from Wikipedia and paste it to your friend's chat box - the inline citation marks remain as full blown numbers and have to be removed by hand.
I don't remember Britannica being any better.

Britannica was purely a social signalling tool. The content was secondary. People bought it as evidence of middle class disposable income, not because they seriously expected to learn anything from it.

My family couldn't afford Britannica, so I had to walk to a local library to read it. I remember it being fascinating from an "I didn't know that was even a thing" angle, but close to useless for learning about specific topics - mostly because the learning needed an entire book, not a short article.

Wikipedia is great for factual gazeteer-type information about people and places, but it has the same problem with math and science - i.e. you literally can't teach the content in that format.

I've sometimes wondered about a WikiTextBook site which has definitive and progressive tutorials/lessons on topics that don't fit the 'pedia format, starting from pre-school all the way up to post-grad.

Online courses do this already, and some of them are very good at it. But it would be useful to have everything collected on a single site instead of scattered all over the web.
Spreadsheets are not on the same level of complexity as programming and never can be. (In this way, I suppose I disagree with Chris Granger's latest ambitions.) I use spreadsheets for the tasks they're best at, and if I need CSV or some other format, I can always export it.
Yes any activated Verizon SIM should work with either of the Nexus phones. (I used one from my M8 and it worked fine in a 6P. Also you'll need a nano SIM - you can cut your micro sim using any one of the SIM cutters from Amazon.)

A tort is a specific legal term. Tortious interference is a specific phrase used throughout the filing, and it has a very specific and well defined meaning in civil suits. This filing is a badly written, flawed and absurd lawsuit and it's bound for failure. I hope the defendant applies for and is awarded damages.
>The problem is their morals when it comes to how they treat their drivers.

I'll bite. What's immoral about how they treat their drivers? Their drivers choose their hours, choose which rides to take, and can work for as many uber-like services at the same time as they want.

> "An encrypted copy of your forums password"

Likely is just a non-technical wording for "Your salted and hashed passwords" (yes, I don't like it either... but keep in mind the audience)

I never used the linuxmint forums, but by looking on the google cache (since the forums are down)

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:IxvZKvC...

It's obvious that they're using phpbb. Just like wordpress, and other prominent software written in php it has probably several flaws (security or otherwise), so I'd still steer clear of it... but it's safe to assume that in 2016 a major open source project has learnt how to properly salt and hash their passwords...

In fact, they're using bcrypt:

https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/tree/3.1.x/phpBB/phpbb/passwo...

I don't know if this is the default hashing algorithm, and if they're properly salting them... it's even possible that linuxmint forums are misconfigured and/or that they're using an old version that defaults on md5.

But even if you use Argon2 or Scrypt, it won't do you any good if you picked

"Password1!"

or

"onetwothreefourfivesix"

as a password... it _will_ be cracked! (and thus the suggestion of changing passwords that might have been reused on other services is a perfectly good suggestion)
> Appeal to authority is totally valid when the authority is an expert in the subject matter.

John Muir lived in the 19th century. Yosemite Park has a bit more done to it and learned about it since then. Marconi straddled the 19th and 20th centuries, but claiming that his writings would inform you about wireless telephony as we currently know it is beyond foolish. They were experts in their time, but much has changed since then.

> Python is obviously a big part of data science these days

Off topic, but why is that? I mean, Python doesn't seem any more suitable to "data science" than Ruby or Lua or Clojure or any number of other similar languages. So why do I keep hearing that Python is super popular with scientists?
Hmm, interesting. Once I've written my current novella, that sounds like an interesting topic for the next one

I don't think the fact that citations occur inside sentences is necessarily because the articles are collaboratively edited. Scientific articles generally do the same thing, even if they are just written by one person, in order to make it clear which part of the sentence the citation refers to.
Huh? Nexus 5X is LG.
I've had the same experience with my 2013 Moto X. Phone used to be sufficiently responsive for my use. Updated to 5.1, and things hang momentarily and lag.

And, I'm not talking about browsing and other uses that continue to escalate power demands. The darned phone app/dialer is quite laggy. One difference that might account for some of it, is that the appear to have made it more graphical and to have further animated the graphical elements it displays.

Under 4, the dialer popped right up, populated its list displays expeditiously and smoothly, and did things the moment you touched the control.

Now, it can take a couple of seconds just to launch. Buttons are harder to hit because they are smaller, move around, and are not positioned at the screen edge as they were before. The also don't respond consistently; often there is a delay, and occasionally a touch doesn't register at all.

The recent calls list displays a couple of days with only some jerkiness, but the requires an explicit tap to go further back and quite noticeably delays when first doing so and continues to delay and stutter as one scrolls down.

Function first. Then form, or "design." The move from 4.x to 5.x seemed to get this backward, in this regard.
There would be nothing unfair about choosing to acknowledge and restrict your product to the actual market size for it - the paying audience of 5%. Currently, it seems the company acknowledges its current market demand is small and is using ad revenue from the non-paying 95% to supplement income.

A lot of online product falls under entertainment/content and most users will not pay for non-essential services; they'd simply find alternatives. Even those willing to pay something want to pay one fee at most and with so many content sources, competition to be the chosen paid source is exceedingly stiff.
Petain was not the only reason why French officers started sparing men. The early French officers were professional army men, who cultivated the tradition of charging the enemy directly, a suicidal exercise at the age of machine guns. But they not only forced their men to do so, they charged the enemy themselves too. As a result most of them died in the first year of the conflict. They were then replaced with drafted civilians who didn't share this chivalrous conception of war.

The other main reason is that as the men hardened with experience, not only were they reluctant to participate in a mass suicide, but French officers started to be increasingly killed by "friendly fire", which somewhat tempered their strategy.

What I want is:

- A robust and replaceable bumper that integrates with the design (i.e. isn't ugly). The phone should not be designed as if the user isn't going to slap an ugly case on it.

- A hole for a wrist strap so I don't worry I'm gonna drop my phone. All cameras have one, but now that phones are taking over, none have it.

- An unlocked bootloader that doesn't void your warranty. Or even better lets you set the signing key on first use (a sort of Trust On First Use that the user is the owner).

I think the hope of projects like these is partly to try to advance interest in Swift which draws in more users who then help contribute to making the language more cross-platform, and partly to be f1rst in the project's niche when the language finally crosses that barrier, so that it becomes the de facto standard. (Think Compojure for Clojure, in the same problem domain.)
Not everyone in the world recognizes Taylor Swift, though I agree it's a clever pun.

This is not a war I want to keep escalating.
Also worth weighing is that another reporter, R J Hillhouse, reported many of the same facts about the bin Laden raid shortly after it happened, to almost no attention[0]. However, she does not believe Hersh plagiarized her[1] (as Politico dubiously claimed, and she refuted), nor does she think that Hersh even had the same sources as her. She even noted that one of the more lurid details (dumping parts of Bin Laden's corpse out of the helicopter over the Hindu Kush mountains) was one she had come across but did not report because she couldn't verify it.

This amounts to two serious, if heterodox, journalists coming to the same story about the Bin Laden raid independently. I'm convinced, personally, but I was already deeply jaded by the many retractions in the official story issued early on regarding the vital intelligence being arrived at by use of torture and mass surveillance, and what they cynically implied about State Department attitudes towards shaping public discourse.
