There is NO graceful handling of loss of network connection at all. Many times I've been out throwing Pokeballs at a Pidgy, then my phone catches the nearby Starbucks wifi and switches over. In the brief period of no connectivity during the switch, the game loses connection, and just... dies. All actions stop. The animations keep playing on loop, but it's impossible to throw another pokeball, impossible to leave the minigame, etc.

This doesn't just happen when in "catch a pokemon" minigame mode. This happens at all screens. The game was programming to expect full, 100% network connectivity, and if it loses that for even a brief moment, the whole thing comes crashing down, requiring a full kill and reset.
EU does enforce food safety and labeling laws quite well. That might be because every EU country has its own FDA equivalent that provisions much smaller market. Sure, incidents happen, but fake food is nowhere such widespread in EU than USA.
WorkFlowy – A notebook for lists
That is incorrect. This will keep partial transfers in destination (and when invoked again, will continue tranferring from that point onwards), but will not restart an aborted transfer (e.g. for a broken connection).

In other words, this feature is a prerequisite for auto-resume, not auto-resume itself (which can be scripted in ~10 lines, as shown in a sibling thread).
They could also come from greenhouses, where they are typically grown on something that resembles cotton balls and nutrients, no ground involved. When I see tomatoes grown like that, I always think of them as tomatoes on life support. Also there are different tomatoes species, I could certainly see one using faster and more water-holding tomatoes.
> to it I'd add that this is also the difference between the $20/hour programmer and the $200/hour programmer

You could have a hundred "$200/hour programmers" on the team for this app, but if management says they need to ship three weeks early to catch the buzz, or something like that, it doesn't matter. We can't say the developers were bad. I mean it's possible, given how poorly the game handles network disconnections, among other bugs. But unfortunately we don't live in a utopia where the guys writing the code get to decide when they want to release. Or if features get added in the last minute. Etc.

> In a thread about the Hyperloop you attempt to ridicule Putin

In a thread about Russia’s plan to build a Hyperloop, I reminded about very recent Russia’s plan to build a teleporter.

> that the type of teleportation in question is about a quantum effect

Officials never said anything about quantum teleportation, only lenta.ru reporters did. Officials were referring to sci-fi movies, not to quanta.

> You just believe you are on the right side of history and politics

Strictly speaking what I [not] believe is off topic here, but I’ll comment anyway.

I believe it’s not good behavior to annex foreign territories by force, support international terrorists, poison political opponents with radioactive substances, or e.g. shoot down civilian planes off the sky.

I can’t imagine any mentally healthy person, regardless on his/her political or historical views, can say that were good or at least acceptable things to do. It’s about moral and ethics, not politics.
The world's population in the 1900 was 1,5B people. By 1970, it was twice that. By the year 2000, it was twice that again! And by 2050 it will be 9B.

Where does the money for all those people would come from if not from borrowing (money from the future)?
AK and similar firearms are not the Maxim gun of this age - they are its swords and spears. The Maxim guns of today are aircraft carries, fighter jets and cruise missiles.

As far as counterinsurgencies go, it doesn't matter. US (and other countries) are not waging wars in places like Syria and Iraq for the sake of their survival. They could withdraw entirely tomorrow, and not much would change for them. Those insurgencies are not an existential threat.
Glass unsmashing is an emergent behaviour. Even if you were an operator of a simulation of that glass being smashed, you could never change the rules so that the glass would come back together like it was.

Time is not some parameter you can adjust. Time is just a word we have to express amount of quantum interactions that happen to an object.

That's why I don't imagine reversing time. It makes no sense. You can't reverse effects of interactions even if you reversed the laws of nature. And you can't record reality and play it backwards too.

> The truth is, those "lazy developers" are right.

I don't understand why this discussion is about the developers. Do you think Tim, who writes network code for the iOS version, gets to say when they launch?

No. Some top dog at Niantic says "We're launching early to catch the summer buzz while kids are out of school." And Tim says "But we don't handle network disconnects gracefully yet." And top-dog man says "Can you still catch Pokemon and battle at gyms?" And Tim admits, "Yes, you can." And top-dog says: "We launch tomorrow, then."
I did this also. Switched from a best of breed Android phone, to a Blackberry.

Yes. A Blackberry. One of newer ones that runs BB10. It supports just enough to enable me to read mail, and message my friends, but there are hardly any useful apps for it, and most of the Android apps that you try to install on it barely work either.

Added bonus - The built in Facebook app no longer works either.

End result, the Blackberry sits in my pocket 99% of the time. My phone is now a tool again, and not a distraction.

It's perfect for me - but your mileage may vary, of course.

Edit: like Fratlas, I also get about 2-3 days of usage out of one charge.

Don't think it'd be solved by local caching. All that logic should be remote anyway. The local client shouldn't decide if a Pokemon was caught or not, the server should.

What the client should be doing is gracefully reconnecting and picking up at the state it left off in... which it certainly is NOT doing right now.

Wolfram|Alpha does this pretty well, although they moved the step-by-step solver to the paid version quite a while ago and I've only tried the early free version. They also have an extensive knowledge base and other resources that make it very easy to understand even completely new concepts.

And Mathematica of course does everything Wolfram|Alpha can.

No reason to look there? How do you know that? You think you, with your behaviour, can't be described as "acting suspiciously"? With that logic you might as well say he had no reason to stop you. Or to stop anyone unless the police officer has a very concrete reason for doing so. In other words, by your logic, routine traffic stops something you don't have to comply with at all.
Given that IQ scores correlate pretty well with things like child nutrition, I'd wager that if you could actually go back and measure them for China back when they were "backward", you'd probably get similar results.

Not to mention that IQ is not an absolute metric - it's the median score of the entire population, and we're getting smarter as a whole, so 100 points today is "worth" more 100 years ago. Indeed, if you use the modern metrics, and apply them to the population of US - a well-developed industrialized country at the forefront of economic, scientific and technological advance - back in 1920, the average IQ would have been 80. So, if, as you claim, ~75 is such a low IQ that it would preclude these developments, then US should not exist as it is today.

> Greek Yoghurt has to be made in Greece and nowhere else.

This is a really stupid regulation though. It's just protectionism for Greece, like the regulation that you can't call it "champagne" unless the grapes were grown in Champagne, France. There is no reason to expect this; consider Cheddar cheese, Peking duck, French toast, and Hamburgers.

I have spent the last 6 mos working on a music-creation app: http://doyt.io

The idea for the app comes from growing up with garageband and missing the hours spent messing around and making silly songs with friends and family. Trying to bring that fun to mobile in a social way (think smashing garageband into snapchat).

The hardest thing has got to be soliciting feedback and hearing criticism. I have the tendency of turtle response- stay safe, stay inside. Actively working on getting out of my safe zone :)

>In 1998 alone, there are 5 digs at Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Three in 2000 at Bush, and several more over the course of the presidency (to be fair, Bush kinda was an easy target for this sort of stuff)--and they endorsed him. Vladimir Putin has also been a sore point for them (Vlad the Impaler all the way back in 2003? I'd forgotten Putin's been around that long...). The 2008 Super Tuesday issue had Mike Huckabee shaking hands with a pig in a field of mud.

I think this is more of a general British attitude than The Economist in particular. You see a lot of the same kind of stuff from the BBC. Arrogant, anglo-centric, looking down the nose at anyone foreign.
I logged a bug[1] for this today after noticing that https://brew.sh had broken SSL, The official response: "Do not to use HTTPS" by the maintainers.

When I pointed out that directing people to curl directly from the internet especially over insecure web pages (without even a warning) the maintainers did not see the issue despite it being a widely used package manager often requiring root access for package installation,

I closed my bug report and the maintainers locked the conversation from further comments / input with a snarky reply.

Can I take it? Sure! Do I care that people are installing homebrew across their machines everywhere via an insecure method - you bet I do!

I'm not here to let off steam, I'm here to give a reminder and a general security PSA: Please don't blindly copy and paste commands from the internet into your shells, especially when it's to install a package manager.

My questions to the maintainers:

"...

Regardless, as I said, this is a package manager, please consider security, especially when you're suggesting that it's a good idea that users curl straight to shell from the internet, if they don't use SSL anyone could MITM that link of yours and people could be infected with malware etc...

@MikeMcQuaid @UniqMartin - your thoughts on users curling straight from an unencrypted website to their shell?"

Maintainers response:

"MikeMcQuaid @sammcj Life tip: messages provided with a patronising tone will generally not be taken on board."

"This conversation has been locked and limited to collaborators."

I fear the EU will use the (huge) Dutch pension funds to bail out Italy. Just last week the Dutch parliament hurriedly accepted EU regulations that allow the Dutch pension funds to move to other EU countries, which would put them out of scope of Dutch (strict) regulation and could possibly be used in the future by the EU to bail out countries like Italy. One way to achieve this would be by requiring a certain percentage of funds be invested in bad bonds.

More surprising was that Germany decided not to accept these EU regulations for pension funds, which makes some wonder why the Dutch did accept.

Most surprising of all was that all parties in the government promised during last elections that Dutch pension funds would stay under Dutch control. And almost all opposition parties shared the same view. I.e. almost all broke their election promises, which makes no sense at all, unless EU priorities are regarded as more important than Dutch priorities.
Thanks. Its in Beta release and I've started advertising using Facebook and Google Adwords. So users can test and send feedback.

My aim is to first provide a complete web based music notation app. And ultimately a library of licks and phrases which users can utilize to aid in their compositions. Basically I've loads of ideas with this product. Build practice routines, i.e practice scales, maintain a practice schedule, etc. So yeah, lots of stuff I can build into this.
Will take a look at this.
Thanks a lot for the ideas! My idea is to use JavaScript in front-end and back-end, but I'm also considering Laravel with Vue.js. I did a small project with Laravel some months ago and I really liked it!
I don't see it as stupid at all! To me, Greek Yoghurt has to come from greece, that's what I expect as a customer. Any non-Greek Greek yoghurt is simply labeled as "Greek-style Yoghurt" and that's easy enough, when I go to the shop I know exactly what I'm getting.
To be sure, I did it a few months again. Will update and add the version as well. That will allow everyone to choose the right version.
No shady tactics will surprise me when it comes to Uber.

I still receive spammy emails they continue to send. And Sendgrid is fully in bed with them.

Forwarded spam to Sendgrid and they said they will follow up with Uber (so apparently they are Uber's customer support at this point - great!)
The spamming practice never changed or stopped despite Sendgrid telling me they will send my email to them (!!) to unsubscribe me from their list, when I didn't even subscribe in the first place.

As I received more Uber spam I kept updating Sendgrid ticked (zendesk). Eventually some 2 weeks later they closed it as "resolved" and never replied to my emails again. I still get Uber Spam from Sendgrid. Stay away from that piece of shit as long as you can!! (both Uber and Sendgrid)

PS. As of Uber, I copied all my emails and forwarded them to FCC. In short telephone conversation I was told I'm not the only one and as they have reached over 1,000 complaints in short period of time, they will be investigating both into Uber practices and also Sendgrid as an accomplice to their alleged crime.

Once you've talked to all your customers you should have a lot more info you can use to market to new customers.

> To me, Greek Yoghurt has to come from greece, that's what I expect as a customer.

Why do you expect that? It can't be based on the name, since virtually all foods with an origin name were not actually made there. I'm pretty sure you don't expect Cheddar cheese to have come from Cheddar? Would you accept ordinary yoghurt that was imported from Greece being sold as "Greek Yoghurt"?

If I imported Camembert cheese from Cheddar, it would still be Camembert. If I imported Cheddar cheese from Hong Kong, it would be Cheddar. French toast sold at a Denny's in New Mexico was made in New Mexico, not France. Peking duck is duck prepared in a style characteristic of Peking, not any duck prepared in whatever style but sold in Peking. And Greek yoghurt is yoghurt prepared in a style characteristic of a Greek company that decided to sell thickened, sweetened yoghurt.
The whole scheme was already alluded to in Lamport's original paper. (Look for whenever he mentions `physical'.)

My solution is to embrace procrastination. Just makesure your procrastination tasks are worth doing. If its the TV or reddit thats bad. If it's housework thats a step up. If it's a side project you would otherwise procrastinate starting thats actually perfect. Ive been my most productive when I was procrastinating trying to avoid writing my PhD thesis. I ended up with more research I had to write about which was the main danger!
