For those who are unfamiliar with the city of Paris' strategy on transport, what they are trying to achieve is to create the maximum amount of traffic jam so that people stop using cars out of frustration. Other means include multiplying bus lanes, bicycle lanes, etc. The outcome is an over-congested and polluted Paris.
Whilst I have friends I don't own them. I endeavour to obtain more friends, and I judge people as to whether they would be the kind of friend that I want - short or long term.

To describe somebody as 'having' women is often accurate and useful - I do not see why this should be penalised.

Now what does confuse and upset me is the way in which we rarely describe women as being able to have lots of men - the slut problem.

Enjoying regular sex and really exploring it, like any other hobby, seems incredibly reasonable. Hoping to enjoy lots of sex sounds like something anybody should want, and I don't see why this is limited as a descriptor for men only.

In short, pretty much everybody likes a good fucking - why are we afraid to say it?

Yes, but I wouldn't class that as building in a backdoor to a specific "major piece of software and hardware" or software and hardware range, I would class it as industrial sabotage on a more subtle and general scale. Equally pernicious but not the claim that is being made.
Trump is being forced to U-turn on his beliefs because he wants to win, given four years in office he's not required to U-turn on anything, he's already in office.

Don't Build That
So - what would you prefer, a slower but secure OS on an older phone, or no updates at all?

Also the "cherrypick" comment is a bit of a dodge - Google already does security patches for older releases (3 years vs. 2).

It would arguably be just as easy to secure one codebase and pare features down for performance.
That was true with Marshmallow.

With Nougat, no background tasks will be run at all while the screen is off – except for Google services, or if they keep the CPU on 100% of the time with a wake lock.

JobScheduler also doesn’t allow continuous tasks, but only short tasks – so you can’t actually keep a low-cost socket open.
This applies to the startup scene.

I have seen it first hand, someone managed to convince a few investors who were old and not very quick thinking that they should invest in his company.

The product idea was just awkward and made up. It was as if someone is given a 5 minute task to quickly think of a startup idea.

But he was a good smooth talker, so millions of dollars later down the drain, with a private office in the Valley, he can now claim he was a serial entrepreneur, CEO, mentor. He'd go to all meetups and give talks. Would publish a blog post here and there so he was also an "author".

Every time he was asked to present his product or asked when it was going to be shipped, he'd claim he saw this trendy technology at a meetup (last was some container thing) and claimed he needed to rewrite his stack using that to go "faster". That lasted for close to 5 years.

People claim it was a failure. I claim it was a major success for him. He's probably off to the next adventure. Not bad overall. Ride the hype and you'll make it!

CSP is not supported by IE, unfortuantely. But you an do 2 things around HTTPS:
* set up a report-only policy saying taht all assets must be loaded over HTTPS. You can receive a report when this is not the case.
* use upgrade-insecure-requests to upgrade HTTP requests to HTTPS automatically. Obviously, this can break stuff if the 3rd party server does not supprot HTTPS or has invalid SS certificates (CDN, for example).

Most browsers load images over HTTP from a HTTPS site but they will not for active content (Javascript, IFRAMES, etc.) unless the user explicitly acknowledge the mixed-content issue.

3D-R2N2: 3D Recurrent Reconstruction Neural Network
The design of the UK spectrum auction of 2000 should be mentioned here. As well as being pretty interesting from a game-theoretic standpoint, at $34bn raised, it was the largest auction since AD 195, at least by the reckoning of the designers:

http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/users/klemperer/biggestpaper.pdf

A colleague who worked on the auction design for the ELSE Centre at UCL ran some test auctions on student subjects with the premise that buyers were bidding for the rights to operate a diamond mine, with a guaranteed (and astronomically large) return. In experiments, bidders were explicitly warned to save some of their budget over for picks and shovels so they could actually extract the diamonds, should they win.

When it came time to bid, the students did not heed this advice... and nor did the telcos.
Yes, but that doesn't matter: array indexing is not a "pure" function because it can panic. That's why you can't optimise it away, even if the result isn't used.
Thanks, that’s part of what I was referring to.

A wake lock is possible, but it’s far more battery intensive than just using the pre-Nougat solutions.

Pre-Nougat, I could keep a socket open, and only have a timeout message sent every 28 minutes to keep it open – at very low battery cost.

Now I either have to keep a wakelock – keeping the CPU always on, instead of just a few milliseconds per hour – or I can’t use it at all.

That’s a severe issue for me.

(I can’t use GCM, due to architectural reasons, and would have to ask tenthousands of people to change their IRC bouncer setup completely).
Considering it's Intel hardware (nuc), I'm not sure what the point is, since Intel tends to have some of the best Linux support. In any case, shouldn't linux receive a signal that it's recovered from sleep and that should allow it to re-initialize problem hardware/drivers?

I keep running it, my point was that it's not exactly rosey with Linux all of the time either.
I would _highly_ recommend never to do this. Date/time is complex in so many subtle ways, least of which is staying up to date on changes. Because its so fundamental every language is likely to have a mature, maintained, and roughly canonical library to use.

Yeah, I'd like to know when one of these new text editors will support plain text spreadsheets like Emacs and Org-mode do.

There is also the other side, do they lose any money from spam calls? If they don't or it's negligible, they aren't going to be open to spending money to block them.

Unless I'm misreading the confusingly-worded press announcement, this is 50% of traffic to IPv6-enabled hosts. Big difference.
Yeah, how dare all those little people complain when they're inadvertently crushed by the glorious Google behemoth. Don't they realize how insignificant they are? Their entire lives are simply rounding errors at Internet Scale.

Sometimes the end result is less important than how you get there, and how you treat the ones who don't fit into your plans. It happens all the time with big companies, but Google even more than most. They KNOW that the potential for problems exists, but so long as it only affects 5%, who cares? Fuck you, got mine.

I think that the attitude conveyed by Google's lack of support is what inspires a lot of people to post rants online, rather than the frequency of incidents.

The public hospitals in Australia are often really good and prestigious institutions used for teaching as well. So, while you don't get a private room and luxurious amenities you do see top doctors. I can't comment as to why they stick around the public hospitals. I don't know that they make less money doing that.

Procedures under the public system are scheduled by urgency, so for example you might have a 9 month wait for a torn ACL surgery. That's why most will carry private insurance. Private cover starts around $70 a month so it's much more affordable than US insurance and importantly much simpler to navigate.
This is a complete tangent question but I hope it's OK to ask: I've always wanted to read some Soviet analog of James Bond: the heroic derring-do of a spy who keeps the world safe from capitalism, and that is written without TOO much bombastic propaganda (the implicit stuff that leaks through would be in the interesting stuff).

I assume it exists -- do you read that stuff too? And if so would you recommend any authors? I can't read Russian, but if it's been translated into English, French or German it's fine. I've enjoyed some Soviet SF because it has different assumptions from the stuff I usually see.

Sorry if this question is too weird or too off topic.

I've been running the beta - which is a terrible idea on a day-to-day Nexus Player. It does not prompt you for updates - it just updates. This is fine if you're on a stable channel. This is not great when it's your primary entertainment resource on a beta channel.

However, it's pretty nice? I know it has some added features but it doesn't really feel much different in 7 than it did in 6. I haven't had a chance to use PiP or anything like that.
Here's a story of my mom's journey as a day trader: My mom got laid off in 2008. The job market was brutal and she had a hard time looking for a new job. She had to find ways to make money to support my sister and I through school so she turned to the only other place where she could earn some money - the stock market.

She started with around 100k, read up about stock options, and decided that shorting calls and puts would work well. The time value decay seems to work in the investor's favor. Every time she made enough money, she would take them out and buy houses (all cash) and start from 100k again. Now, 8 years later, she has acquired a few properties in West LA and Oakland and makes more rental income per month than my salary as a senior software engineer. She still trades today.
it sounds more like s/he is a disgruntled car-owning Parisian. clearly the old paradigm wont go gently into the night. his isn't even a difficult position to empathize with, considering the inconveniences caused by measures like this. ultimately, these inconveniences will be addressed by the market (supply/demand) or by other government directives. until 'not owning a car' is MORE convenient than owning one, we will continue to see this kind of commenter.

Your description of drifting apart from friends resonates with me. I've felt the same thing, where it's increasingly forced to care about people I no longer can connect with.

I'm married and my wife has gone through a similar transformation. We're also fairly introverted, in the sense that social situations leave us feeling tired afterwards. The funny thing is that time together is like being alone: it isn't exhausting.
Same problem, except that my loudspeaker is also busted. Headphones only right now.

The damage is possibly my fault as I opened the phone to change the battery (which died in two years), but the lack of an user accessible battery and it's poor battery life are a problem.

11 signs that you work at a Startup – My life story
> Not really surprising given the device's age, but still disappointing given the presumably rather large number of Nexus 5 still in use.

My Nexus 5 was in use up until a couple of weeks ago. Then it entered a state where, when plugged in, it rebooted in an eternal loop and, when not plugged in, it shut off. Judging by the internet, this is a common problem for them.

I followed the advice I found in multiple places of trying to dislodge the Nexus 5's stuck power button by whacking it against a soft object. That worked -- it will now try to boot, fail to mount the hard drive, and just keep displaying the booting animation forever. It can boot into the bootloader and recovery mode, and I can flash a new recovery image in fastboot, or at least I can issue the command and see a report of success, but on reboot I just get the old recovery mode.

So... I guess I do have a compelling reason to upgrade, although the N5 was satisfactory in every other way. My Nexus 4 still works fine, but it's gotten much puffier than it should be, and apparently it's impossible to get a new battery for it.

:(

Good point, I had missed this previously.

It seems that there exist a number of categories of services and each has its own rules for determining where the customer is located. If the service do not fall within on of predefined the categories the below rule apply, meaning that billing address is not enough and secondary verification is needed. It seems that most Saas service fall under the below rule. [0]

Where the digital services are supplied other than in the circumstances listed above, the business making the supply must obtain and keep 2 pieces of non-contradictory information to support and evidence the member state where the customer is normally located.

> eqtypes in SML are a botch

Standard ML's `eqtypes` aren't a bad idea at all:

(0) They ensure that `op=` can only be used on things that actually have decidable equality.

(1) If SML were to be equipped with dependent types in the future, it would make sense to only allow `eqtypes` as type indices. First-order unification can be used on syntactic values of `eqtypes`, so the basic architecture of a Damas-Milner type checker can be retained, in spite of having dependent types.

OTOH, equality and comparisons in OCaml are completely broken.

Untrue.

First, mobile Doze doesn't kick in immediately when the screen is off.

Second, mobile Doze apparently doesn't stop all background tasks except "Google services" from running, since "wake locks" from apps for background tasks are still supported.
If I recall, it also displays a simple toast for apps that do not target the API, saying "App may not work with split screen"

This also lets the user know it's not the Apps fault. I feel it's a pretty good way to enhance the experience where possible and move apps forward even if they're old.

SF hasn't even completed the Van Ness or Geary BRT lines, which are about a decade late.

By the time SF gets around to building any new subway line (10-15 years), private autonomous cars and shuttles will have siphoned away most of SF MTA's revenue. It'll be a lost cause. They need to build and _open_ a couple of new commuter subway lines, e.g. along the Geary corridor, before autonomous driving comes. Otherwise they'll struggle just to keep the existing bus and at-grade light rail networks working.

The irony is that roughly half or more of the budget for the Van Ness and Geary BRT lines is allocated for repaving the streets. They're effectively bankrolling their own death.

Madrid and other cities figured out how to build subways on the cheap. Too many U.S. cities see subways as prestige projects, and blow insane amounts of money on cavernous stations and other aspects of design and construction. If they built tunnels and stations like they often did 100 years ago--which is to say, as utilitarian public infrastructure projects--it'd be much cheaper.
Need to know how fast is GNU/GLIBC memmem() on fast machines
Okay, I need someone interested in speed benchmarks to help me in comparing the latest GLIBC memmem() against my Railgun_Trolldom.
I optimized 'Trolldom' a lot, the only thing that chokes it is the speed of RAM fetching. I have only laptops with slowish 666MHz RAM, so no real picture of how 100TB of data are parsed.

Since I have no powerful toys to play with, as Skylake and AMD Zen, please run the benchmark for C community's sake, I will publish the results on:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/250566/Fastest-strstr-like-function-in-C

The benchmark is downloadable at my Internet drive and my site:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmWWFXGMzDmEgl3izdwhSnIq0Lv5

Just go to console prompt and run 'GNU_vs_Railgun.bat', it takes a lot of time but it gives memmem() behavior in real-life application.
No it's not. Study after study has shown that building more roads doesn't speed up cars it just increases the number of cards and reducing roads doesn't slow down cars it just decreases the total number.

I haven't figured out if I'm the picky b@st@srd or my "friends" and people I know are the issue.
Classic "don't fix it if it ain't broken". How have you manage to disable the System update annoyance ?

Shitty Lollipop made me sell the Nexus 5 last year with its bad battery life and memory leak (and they still didn't fix the mobile radio wakelock), but when downgrading to 4.4 it was next to impossible to block the notification. I remember methods used at time just caused the Google Play Services to hold the wakelock, since the update checker became a part of it.
So from a technical stand point, yes. But from a safety stand point maybe.
yeah thats true, otherwise you get a skewed perspective on what is attractive as that gets elevated into relevance due to limited supply
