Probably not sharply enough or clearly enough to impact behavior.

The thought patterns around this sort of thing can be pretty insidious, too. Some might be thinking stuff along the lines of "I'd be doing better if all these black people weren't tying up my reservations calendar".
Without wires, the headphones will need a power source. That means a battery. That means you now have to worry about keeping two devices charged all the time, instead of one. And the battery in some headphones is going to be necessarily small, because who wants a big heavy battery hanging off their head or ears? Why do I want to worry about my headphone battery dying while I'm using them? I don't have to worry about that stuff with regular earbuds.

If you want to haul around extra boxes full of electronics and batteries (decoder and amp of your choice), feel free. The rest of us are happy with cheap earbuds, and don't want all this extra complication.
Probably, but I have to get over the lock-in cost which is not cheap.
Have you tried MuseScore and what were your thoughts on it?

I think people are too keen to dismiss the Pi's hardware without realising that that's not where the Pi foundation puts most of its efforts and staff: it's the educational materials that are the focus and the hardware is a means to deliver them.

In other words, if you can make use of an FPGA or an SGI you're not the primary target market. Even if more Pi have gone to hobbyists than children, the children are still the primary target market. It's an attempt to make educational technology that kids actually like.

Not if there's sufficient demand that they are happy with the occupancy level.
>So the options are the world is rational and understandable, or there is no truth, everything is a lie and we're living in a Lovecraftian horror where we are physically incapable of understanding reality.

Random chaos is way too staticky for Lovecraft. The snow on old TVs when they've got no signal is random noise. Lovecraftianness requires distinct things with tentacles and little bubble-eyes everywhere. Totally different aesthetics ;-).
It's amazing how blind businesses seem to be to this. I remember a recruiter talking to my class of engineers, making this same complaints about millenials, and how selfish they are in regards to their relationship to their employers. Seriously, what did you expect when you jumped on this band wagon? You change the rules, but the game is supposed to be the same? Nope.

Funnily enough, I think this trend might actually help bump the real value of wages, at least for some people. Those who are willing to be mobile will do pretty well.
Take that one 'request' - possibly initiated by a jr-mid level developer - and stack it up against the 500 other todo items in the pipeline. You can make those arguments about "statistically increases the risk of people picking weaker passwords " - unless this increases a bottom line or comes out of someone else's budget, this sort of 'bug' is going to be really low down on the totem pole for all the reasons I mentioned, and a few others.

You can says "the process is broken" but it's also that same process that got people where they are, puts food on their table, pays for the lifestyle, and precious few people are willing to ever rock the boat at any company for anything.
A significant problem is that they check to see if you are relatively healthy before they take your blood.
You should allow changing the e-mail address. Of course, changing it requires the same validation, but I'm not really sure why there'd be an argument against it (though I do note many sites/applications don't have a mechanism for this).

At the same time, as a user, you need to consider your own e-mail setup. You should not use your ISP-provided e-mail address whatsoever, there is absolutely no reason to tie your contact to an account you may not keep.

Likewise, you should not be using your school or work-provided addresses for something that you expect to use beyond going to school or having that job.

If you're changing your e-mail address frequently for personal reasons (eg, someone harassing you?), then you should actually consider creating an account you use only for authentication, and a separate one that is your public-facing persona.

Having separate addresses for your contact and sign-ups is actually not a bad idea anyway. It actually makes it a bit harder for someone to break into your account somewhere (because they don't necessarily know what address you used), and you get the freedom to change/abandon your public e-mail address if necessary.
I mean, in this case there are two reasons. They're both bad reasons, but still.

1. "Our email provider won't send to them". That excuses OP's part in the thing, although now we need to ask why the email provider is being stupid.

2. "We don't do validation links, they cause too many lost users". I have serious problems with this, but from a pure-business standpoint they decided that rejecting valid emails loses fewer users than using account confirmation.

Number two is vaguely horrifying to me, but in terms of "new users gained" it probably works out.
The worst is when you are so tired you can't sleep. I get that way if I stay awake ~36 hours or more. I try not to do that anymore though.
If you mean making it more attractive for companies to produce here, sure, 100% agree. If you mean penalizing companies for leaving or pass a penalty on to consumers, 100% disagree. Let's make it easier to produce in this country, not harder to produce outside.
I find myself reminded of a theater comedy where a guy is dating multiple flight attendants. The comedy comes from none of the ladies knowing about each other, and his carefully laid out schedule being disrupted by canceled flights.

Many of the professional women in the big east-coast cities fit that description to a tee.
Not necessarily. Certain customers are problematic and can case damage, which is especially possible when you let them occupy your property (the host is the one who ends up paying for repairs, good luck getting it out of the customer).

Usually, in a hotel this problem is fixed by requiring credit card with a high security deposit it check in, such as needing a few hundred dollars for incidentals plus room and tax. This means anyone without a credit card, and anyone without $500+ of available credit isn't allowed to stay. In effect, this doesn't guarantee the hotel payment for any damages, but it keeps out the type of guest that typically cause problems.
Where is the place, in such a reasonable analysis, for the kind of conspiracy theory and histrionics that make up such a delightful part of the tech community's response to every Apple product release?
To answer this honestly, I don't know. It would depend on the quality of the data he leaked, and which hostile foreign enemy he sided with against him.

On one hand, I have daughters, and don't want misogynistic defenders of rape-culture having any power over them.

On the other hand, I care about fairness and justice.

On my third hand (yay radiation!), Clinton is an evil sociopath who is bound to be largely ineffective as your president thanks to a republican legislature. Trump, however, is an incompetent demagogue who I think will cause a massive amount of un-needed suffering in this world.

So my honest answer is, I don't know. It probably depends on if I'd taken my meds that day and how emotional I was feeling.
I grew up in a ski resort, but I don't want to get a remote dev job, and move back, just to find a bunch of people like me are already crowding the place up.

I'll do my part to make their life better by staying in Raleigh. We have: trees, 100% humidity for over 4 months of the year, this big area people keep claiming is a park, creeks that flow when it rains.
I don't know if this is really a tractable problem.

At the end of the day, either airbnb lets hosts decide who stays or doesn't. If they don't let hosts decide, they'll likely lose a ton of hosts, since having someone stay in your home is a very personal thing and a huge risk. If they do, then they're going to have significant discrimination problems as long as people are discriminatory, i.e., basically forever.
You can control what songs can be decoded with what adapter.
You can control the bit rate and quality.

You can effectively make songs that only play on certain headphones or songs that play better quality when you have your beats plugged in.

This isn't the first time this has been brought up this was the first thing everyone had in mind when the rumors about Apple ditching the headphone jack first appeared.
IANAD.

My understanding is that you are avoiding calories. More specifically, you are avoiding the bodily processes (especially insulin response, etc.) that accompany digestion.

So water, coffee and tea fit into that. Coffee or tea with milk, however, does not.

I am not sure about the vitamin supplements. Even if they are zero calorie, they have to be digested, etc., in a way that goes beyond coffee and tea ...

I would just wait until lunch/dinner, but I only IF for 16-20 hours at a time.
It feels like there needs to be two different systems. One for "job training", and one for "general learning". I think things like certification are the right direction.

I'd love to go to school for general learning all the time, but that's not directly applicable to my job, and with the costs so high, it's just not practical.
This is not my experience at all. I put the watch down when I went to bed with a rather comstamt remaining charge of about 60% and to me it seems other users had similar experiences. Even Apple itself came to the conclusion that there's enough capacity left considering the changes in WatchOS 3.

Is there anything special about the hiking part of your experience? I had the watch on 2 hour bike rides and other workouts of similar duration without trouble - I can't see how 4 hours might a be a problem there.

FB's Graph API is not a stable API, there are frequent changes as to what information is accessible and what isn't.
Looks like there are similar issue with user facing features like graph search.
As the article mentions, it's probably super easy for iOS to refuse to route audio to the adapter if it so chooses, for example when playing certain "fairplay" encrypted content. How convenient.
I'm not who you asked, but maybe I can help with my viewpoint.

TV/Radio/Offline marketing can only be attributed via these statistical models (eg in the zip codes where the ads ran, did a bump in traffic or store visits happen). Although old fashioned, I think coupons per channel are a great way to get confirmation of the link between ad and purchase, it's less precise than digital tracking, but at least makes some concrete connections.

Multi-device tracking without a login can only be done by using a huge network of 3rd party data. E.g. if xyz company has cookies on everyone and they see a login on one site, then they equate that cookie as the same user across devices, effectively sharing the information with their clients. I think this is very shady and I do not use any data like this because I think it violates people expectation of privacy across interactions.
One thing that I think really separates the discussion about Nintendo is the awareness/cluelessness about the fact that Nintendo have, in fact, have their hand in so much of Silicon Valley, already.

I remember in the 90's, SGI and Nintendo shared a multiple of projects, hosted at the expansion offices at Oracle. The goal? Port Netscape to the N64, and so on.

Nintendo are all over the place. Of course they have an iOS team already, duh. They worked with Creative Labs already, to develop competing frameworks to iOS, even before iOS 1.0 was released.

All these things got cancelled/re-structured, and Nintendo still have a strong, forward-deployed, developer mentality.

So, its not that they are not, actually, operating as a development group in our industry. Its just that they haven't "surfaced", yet, because their strategic deployment of co-development teams and integrated efforts doesn't, necessarily, mean that a product will bubble to the surface.
Do be careful with making your own infused oils. Truffle/Garlic variants (and I'm sure others) definitely carry botulism risk.
I agree that this seems odd, and all I've ever seen as proof that "truffle oil does not contain truffles" is the bald assertion, without any other evidence.

In the US, I can imagine (barely) that this might be permissible, but in Europe, with DOC and AOC laws, it seems almost impossible that something could be called "truffle oil" as opposed to "truffle-flavoured oil". "Truffle Extract" and "Flavoured with White Truffle" seem to be pretty unambiguously claiming that truffles were involved in the preparation.
it is not true for all companies. It doesn't take much thinking to realize that if you are a business owner, running a factory, and your competitors factory doesn't train then you would have an advantage by training. We do lots of training, because nobody has the skills for our exact setup.

I have paid for plenty of training that walked out the door into a new job 6 months later. Life goes on.

I look for high intelligence people, and then train them in house. High intelligence people can get trained in a fraction of the time, and not every high intelligence person went to college to become a programmer. I think the skills gap could be more about the draining of intelligent people from blue collar jobs. I went to high school in the 80's and there was a very strong push for "college/computers good, working with hands bad" message from the guidance counselors.

I have a person who just graduated from University with good grades in Psychology and English. She applied for 87 jobs from March to July with no luck; now she is one of the robot operators. She says she makes more money doing this than any job she could get with her degree. Perhaps some of the skills challenge is too many white collar path people, not wanting to go to manufacturing for any reason. (my good worker is heading to grad school in a few months though, sad for me).
Put an edit at the end of my post. My sense of humor hasn't woken up yet this morning and my tone of voice didn't come across in my post.
I think that the addictive quality is a key component of all games -- perhaps especially the great ones. In a good game the compulsion is balanced with the creative/rewarding aspects to create an positive experience.

But even then I often find that the addiction outlives the reward. If I play a great game for an hour, it's engaging and satisfying. Two hours in, I may be tired and frustrated, but the addictive quality keeps me going past the point where I ought to take a break.

For me, the experience often ends up a net negative. I play longer than I intend to, neglect other activities, and am left feeling restless and unsatisfied.
Reality check (no idea where you live... but your blithe statement reveals some serious lack of understanding of the situation of most people in the US):

The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September 2014 that U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939.

Making $50k a year is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than being on welfare.
I can't remember for certain if it got a banner feature but I think it did.I agree though that it had very little effect on the success of Pokemon GO as a large amount of people downloaded when it was still in soft launch phase and before it was properly featured by Apple.

Just checked and here in the UK Super Mario Run already has a banner feature and is top of the new games we love section despite not being available yet to play yet
Powershell on Linux yay??
After living in Montana for almost 10 years, this video is kind of funny. It's like an ad for all of the things that _other_ Montana towns like Bozeman and Missoula are famous for!

Granted Billings is obviously changing (for better or worse), but it's known for it's industrial plants, not it's bike trails. I will say the "rimrock" above town is lovely and unique (and it's home to one of the most challenging disc golf courses in the country!) but in terms of trails and other recreational development Bozeman and Missoula are years ahead in development.

Billings actually does have some diversity due to it's close proximity to the Crow Reservation (4.4% Native American), but that fact is just as absent as the 3 oil refineries in this cheery white-washing promo video.

As a side note: it's incredible how many breweries and distilleries are springing up across the country - even in Billings! I love beer, but it's kind of overwhelming.
I honestly can't think of two people I'd less like to listen to than Milo Yiannopoulos and Martin Shkreli.
This adapter requires the cooperation of the OS to function.
>An “invariant” is a function of the process state whose value remains constant (hence “invariant”) in spite of changes to the process state. Perhaps you meant “precondition” or “postcondition”?

No, I meant invariant. An invariant is something that is supposed to hold true, not just things that are guaranteed to hold true (e.g. a constant that can't ever change anyway). That's why the need for assertions to check that invariants hold.

From Wikipedia:

"In computer science, an invariant is a condition that can be relied upon to be true during execution of a program, or during some portion of it. It is a logical assertion that is held to always be true during a certain phase of execution. (...) Programmers often use assertions in their code to make invariants explicit."

Preconditions and postconditions are similar in concept, but are supposed/wanted to hold true before (pre) or after (post) a method runs.

>I absolutely don't need asserts. An assert merely describes what you want, but that's useless to me, unless you establish a relation between what you want and what your program actually does - with proof.

Well, asserts weren't created specifically for you. Feel free not to use them.

They are useful to me, and assuming from their widespread use, others, even if they don't formally prove the program does 100% that it needs to (which nobody expected them to anyway).

Until we all program in Coq or similar, they will be useful for all kinds of checks. A correct program is a spectrum, not a binary option.

>Of course. Assertions are expected to always be true.

No, they are also expected to be false -- that's why we add assertion statements to check whether our assertions hold. But we're splitting hairs twice or three times here.
"Another possibility is that what companies mean by an “opening” has changed — that in an age of online job listings, automated résumé screenings and increasing temporary and contract work, companies are posting more jobs than they ever expect to fill. There’s some evidence for this: Recruiting intensity — a measure of how hard companies are trying to fill open positions — remains below prerecession levels in both the manufacturing sector and the economy overall."

That is an interesting theory. Unfortunately, the abstract of the referenced paper doesn't seem like the paper mentions much evidence. Also, my limited experience makes me doubt manufacturing companies are throwing out job openings willy-nilly, trolling for applicants. (In non-blue-collar jobs, sure.)

On the other hand, the current environment would seem to make it easy to overestimate the number of openings.

I think this is a deliberate move by Google. For education they wanted to push chromebooks not tablets.

I think they did the right choice, in this context chromebooks are significantly better than tablets, phones or even "real" laptops.

Claiming someone is alt-right is starting to have the feel of McCarthy era claims of communism.

I don't know what they stand for. But I visit generally progressive-leaning places on the internet and know I'm supposed to hate them.

I still haven't even figured out who the "reactionaries" are or what they believe in. I think what happened is some people used the wrong word when talking about "contrarians" and through a game of telephone turned created a new political boogieman.

Is the conservative side of the (American) political spectrum really going through this much ideological turmoil and restructuring? I haven't heard about it in any of the mainstream news when I glace at it, nor from the conservatives I talk politics with at work. It looks like a way for the left to shill hate.
I guess that is because they don't get paid.
Don't study CS, Law is where the money is, don't start a business, it will probably fail, don't date that girl, her parents are bumpkins. Do as your told.
> You can perform the first pass of salted hashing on the client-side.

Not really. JavaScript crypto is fundamentally broken: an attacker, malicious server or disgruntled employee can replace server-side JavaScript and remove the client-side hashing at any time. This is, notably, why Firefox Accounts are completely and totally insecure (and hence why Sync is unsuitable for storing any private data at all).
Interesting 2 years ago I was up for a operation to implant a tube for dialysis after the 3 day fast before going into hospital my creatine levels improved to the point they canceled the operation.

Wonder if this will happen this time around :-)
That's one way to look at it. Another would be that they moved to Bluetooth while also providing a means of backwards compatibility with the lighting to 3.5 adapter as well as a pair of lighting headphones for those who prefer that.
It's my understanding that it doesn't need a phone anymore for workouts. It never did if you're ok without GPS, but now even GPS is built-in.
In which case the minimum wage is unnecessary. I had one of these button pushing jobs (well it was more complicated than that, but still not demanding), and was paid well above minimum wage.
It might, but how would they know? They're so sure they're protecting themselves that they will never care that they're making less money than they could. You'll not convince them of that, because they'll just argue about the potential money lost to undesirable tenants.
> So the options are the world is rational and understandable, or there is no truth, everything is a lie and we're living in a Lovecraftian horror where we are physically incapable of understanding reality

This sounds like a restatement of the warm/cold reality thing. Most religious people are not actually deficient in capacity to reason but basically can't accept the cold universe where we pop screaming out of our mothers, live pointlessly and die in pain knowing that whatever we accomplished is transitory and amounts to nothing.

As opposed to, we're playing some kind of game where we get points for kind acts, piety, being nice to old folk, making money, etc, then we get rewarded for all of this in the afterlife by our loving creator.
