The problem is they break the API all the time, and this leaves Google Play strewn with broken apps. This may break 1% of apps, the next release breaks another 1%, after 10 releases, 10% of the apps not updated are broken.

Here's an example, I go to Google Play and search for "ringtone maker" ( https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ringtone%20maker ). The #3 result for me (which can vary by location) is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anbu.ringt... . So I download the app, click the microphone, say something, hit stop and - "java.io.IOException: Unknown file format".

This is their 3rd result for ringtone maker, has over 5 million downloads and yet their record feature is broken. It used to work but Google changed the API. You can look at the app source code ( https://github.com/malizadehq/ringdroid ) to see where this app broke if you want. This is just one example which comes to mind, I can think of many.

They claim they don't break the API going forward but they do all the time.
There is in fact one error in the above macro: well, I think only one: in the map, (lambda (var val) '(var val)) should be (lambda (var val) (list var val))
Yes of course, I'm not disagreeing with that - just adding that VR is a difficult case right now and something that i don't think can be solved with software or hardware in the short term.
That's a pretty crappy excuse, I've had laptops that last for 7 years just fine running Linux.
My job would never cotton to putting stuff on Github, so GitLab existing and being of such high quality has been fantastic. Really been impressed with it.
More directly - if you want your precious content/resources to make you money, make sure you send the bits over an authenticated & paid account.

Not behind an overlay, or with a adblock redirector or when the user-agent has 'googlebot' in it.

If you send the bits over, then I may consume them with no additional payment, whether via ads or mailing-list or account signups.
I hadn't thought about it until you said, but that is exactly the issue - I've run into problems on OS X that have been silent/invisible but which I've been fortunate enough to have root-caused by digging through logs. Sadly that's not an option on iOS :(

It's hard to believe that no rumors were circulated among the players or coaches of different teams, or at least, they were never strong enough for a single person to investigate seriously. Especially with the amount of money they must have been paying for nothing.

Although I guess if the fans are happy, the money is well spent...?
Thanks!

To your question: the former, not least because it gives me a chance to catch my breath and let my heart rate drop a bit for a gentler transition from riding to not riding. But that's a personal preference and a side note to the main point, which is that if I'm on the sidewalk, I'm walking, not riding. Perhaps you prefer otherwise, but at the very least I'd ask that you slow to roughly walking pace and, if you must overtake a pedestrian, use a bell or your voice to announce your approach. It's not that I am unwilling to share a sidewalk with a cyclist, though I prefer you not make it necessary; it's that I'd much prefer you don't scare the hell out of me in so doing.
I wish it wasn't true. On all the occasions, I was told that there was "an issue with the underlying hardware".
I have often wondered the same thing. It seems like batteries in phones sometimes actually get smaller for no reason that makes sense to me.

It might just be that the manufacturers think everyone wants a thinner device, though.

Effectively. My project still gets pushed to GitHub and lives there, but I've disabled every feature I could (you can't disable PRs, but it's easy enough to redirect PRs over to GitLab).

Code Climate can still happily read from the GitHub project and I can add the badge to the README if desired, which is visible on both GitLab and GitHub.

And since origin pushes to both, they are rarely if ever out of sync.

And by using GitLab I get GitLab CI instead of Travis (which is quite nice), GitLab's amazing Issue tracker and board, which blows GitHub away, more fine grained control over merging (no more forced --no-ff merges if you don't want), Issue and MR templates, an activity stream, far more control over your project's settings... really I can't say enough good things about my experience with GitLab over the last ~6 months.
That's the funny thing when specific issue started the discovery worked exactly _one_ way - the MBA would see the iPhone but not the iPhone would refuse to see the MBA. Puzzling at best!
FWIW Google Cloud Support != Google support in general. My interactions with Cloud Support on the other side of the fence has led me to believe they are very committed and working very hard. Yes, you have to pay for it. But once you do, regardless of the tier of support, I've seen them work tirelessly and escalate tickets to engineering quickly (order hours, not days) if they couldn't figure it out.

I'm looking at the postmortem now and without wishing to jump the gun and talk about things I can't, it looks like this is being taken very seriously and a number of improvements and bug fixes are going to result. In this instance, I think it's doing the Cloud Support people a disservice to call them "disingenuous".

Status bar abuse. Back when web browsers (and most other applications) had a status bar across the bottom of the window, there was a JavaScript API that could manipulate the text displayed there. A common trick was to "scroll" a message in the status bar by constantly updating it with all the letters shifted to the left by one.
My favorite version of this insight is that people spend 90+ percent of their time thinking about themselves, leaving a scant 10 percent to think about everyone else. And /your/ share of that 10 percent is vanishingly small, in almost all cases.
There is very little humidity here. I would say 88 degrees feel more like 72 degrees in a place that is not a desert environment.

Also, when you live in Phoenix, your body changes and you truly do acclimate to the heat. Anything under 65 feels like below freezing after a few years of living anywhere that is warm year round.

The sections on Rive Gauche that they have turned into pedestrian areas are really quite pleasant - and traffic hasn't suffered so much.

Also slated is turning place de la bastille into pedestrian only square, and potentially opening the monument to public visit - amongst seven other pro-pedestrian plans:

There is some public criticism, after Place de la Republique was 'transformed' recently - the traffic was reduced, but the entire square is now a tree-less concrete block.

Is there any startup/hi-tech activity in Pullman besides Schweitzer?
I've been there. The way out I found was intentionally seeking out connections to existing social networks:

1) identify a place where you can get repeated, informal contact with people. Classes, meetups, volunteer groups are good to start.

2) cycle through those until you find one you like, then persist. Be friendly, make the first move, etc.

3) evaluate the acquaintances from step 2 based on THEIR friends as much as the individuals. Put time and effort into the people that connect you to other good people.

4) profit!

I just love the amazing "Terms of Service" that all of these ad companies have, letting you know that by virtue of loading an HTML page you've consented to have your personal information of ANY caliber spread all over their ad network, their "partners" networks, and to anyone else with a buck and a server, and immediately absolve themselves of any responsibility for what that might mean in terms of information falling into the wrong hands.

I can't think of another business that has this kind of insane amount of easy-to-start interaction that results in so much activity and yet can claim zero culpability for any consequences. It's as if you purchased an airline ticket and the ticket came with a 17 page document attached where they spell out that by flying on this aircraft you agree to have tickets pre-planned in your name for 24 other flights, the plane may or may not make a stop off in 6 airports en route to your destination, the pilot occasionally likes to do barrel rolls and loops but he's real good at it so don't worry, and by the way occasionally the engines fall off but you don't get to sue us if anything goes wrong.

Nonetheless, a direct poll is less biasable than say, the popularity of memes I see you within my filter bubble. I do think he has an interesting perspective regarding how social media is bringing politicians' ears closer to the people, but it can't replace elections and scientific polls. It can augment it however.

Not that I think he is really making that argument that memes should replace voting.

I would disagree. Phoenix weather is fabulous 8 months out of the year, from October until May. It is why we have world class luxury resorts and a huge tourism base.

I agree that we have wacky politicians, but so does California! Our mayor Greg Stanton is pretty cool. He wants to encourage more investment in high tech industry.
I've heard conservatives say similar things about the Bay Area, where they might be assaulted for supporting Trump and would probably be arrested for owning a gun.

Not only that, it is also higher than $144k in SF. And by quite a margin.

Buenos Aires is actually one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, of all Latin American capitals. I haven't been there in a few years, but the difference between official and black market exchange rate alone made a massive difference.

I don't know how the exchange rate is these days, but back then you could rent a luxury 3 bedroom condo in Buenos Aires poshest neighbourhood for $1k a month or less.

"80%" it's very unlikely, say it is true, you just do the opposite and you have free money. I suspect the correct overall percentage should be much closer to 50%. Finding a profitable strategy should be much more difficult than "do the opposite of day traders", right?

The problem with this is it's easy to start getting legitimate marketing emails that you signed up for filed as spam, because they look similar to the marketing emails that you've been reporting. For example, for a while SpamAssassin decided that every email from the PlayStation store (even receipt emails) was spam, primarily because they look similar to other emails I've marked.

it is at least partly because 100 % of day traders do less than 100 % of trades. And they play against people who are vastly more intelligent, better equipped, etc... on average. As a day trader, the odds are overwhelmingly against you.

> The tools to do this have been around for 30 years and yet we are still building houses that we'll have to fix in the future.

I'm looking to buy my first house and I've looked at houses dating from the 1890's to finished 18 months ago. While I expect the older ones to have bad energy efficiency (single wall stone cottages) I've been horrified by the standard of the 1990's+ housing.

Sure the ones built 2 years ago reach a 'B' on the UK's energy efficiency scale, but it appears to be by removing breathability while using traditional construction approaches still.

I dream of building my own eco-home. Straw bale preferably.

What does "do the opposite of day traders" entail?

If it's to not trade daily then yes, having a profitable strategy is trivial: just buy index funds.

If you think it's possible to reliably trade better than day traders, you're probably just as deluded as them.

That being said, this data set is unlikely the be representative. The best traders are using something like IB, not eToro.

I live in Prescott. The weather is fantastic, all four seasons. Weatherunderground zip 86301 for the next week :-) I've been here 22 years. The outdoors activities are world class: hiking, mt and road cycling. I live in-town and Federal wilderness is literally 5 miles away.

My wife and I are both post-graduate STEM evacuees from the BA (Mt. View, 2nd and Townsend in SF, Santa Clara). We miss a lot about the BA, but as mentioned in the article, once you have a kid, two 1 hr commutes, possibly in opposite directions, are a non-starter. The thing we miss most about the BA are the people associated things because... the retrograde politics and essentially fascist outlook of the politically powerful has become suffocating. It is quite common to be in a restaurant and have some ragged beat down old white fellow packing a large gun. I have a youngish couple who walk an infant in a stroller by my house in the evening and the otherwise normal looking man-boy carries a giant pistol. I had words with the typical sort in Trader Joes because he felt he needed to pack a gun while shopping for groceries. Prescott has essentially no crime, nor much in the way of minorities, for that matter. It's not about safety.

This never happened 10 years ago, and earlier. Something happened around 2008, and things have been going downhill ever since.
