I wonder what the stereo width and image is like. Would you have to have your face right next to the phone to notice the stereo? With such a small device, being slightly out of alignment with the device will mean the difference between good stereo image and muddy mono-ish audio.
I had a chuckle at Joey calling @ "a bagel". I guess that's a New York thing.

Over here we call them "elephant-trunk-A" (interestingly elephant symbols are quite common here in e.g. royal/government coats of arms and the "Order of the Elephant" being the highest chivalric order).
Most support AAC though, which is in the Bluetooth standard somewhere. At least when connected to the iPhone that sounds as good as apt-X, even on really good headphones.

I've run into this issue a few times with headphones that do:
- apt-X only
- apt-X + AAC
- AAC only
- neither

and as long as it supports AAC it sounds good with Apple devices. Sadly, manufacturers don't really put it on the label so it's hard to know.
Prize for the most un-classy comment of the month. Really, women are so desperate for sex that they have to have sex indiscriminately?

I think you may want to re-think this part of your worldview, nymphomaniacs exist but they do not make up the vast majority of the women, at least, not in my experience.
Is preference not a valid reason? :)

Other reason: the syntax is more explicit, and already familiar to anybody who has used Maps [1]

I find your syntax a little confusing. It's not immediately obvious how I would set multiple cookies with different options, for instance.

"Because size is relative quantity"

I don't think this is a sufficient explanation, only empirical observation. It could very well be other way around. I mean it's not even generally true that related words come together in sentence (things like "Who did you give the large red ball to?" spring to mind).
If Nintendo is a big shareholder in The Pokémon Company, then they aren't completely independent now, are they?
I'd say you want to be consistent within the same context. Otherwise it's their own fault if they can't ask you for something more specific.

E.g. if they want a display name, they should ask for a display name. Most of the time people need only a few different roles, and you can always pre-populate default values based on doing a simple name split and letting people suggest more approriate alternatives.

Upside is that asking for specifically what they need addresses other concerns, such as e.g. parents signing up to something on behalf of their children, or someone needing to put another name of a shipping label.
1) is really something that the maintainers of pip should deal with but unfortunately they don't see it as their problem.
Possibly because a border is part of a column so if you insert a new column adjacent to a border you have to remove the old one and redraw it which is pretty annoying because its tucked behind a few clicks and menus.

A line however floats relative to the columns so you don't have to remove/redraw it. At worst you might have to move it.
This makes me think you should maybe just have a few fields for names for different use cases and maybe provide an example next to it to see it in context.

Except, it's not a "user token", it's an address. It's as much a user token as a postal address or a telephone number is a "user token": not at all. It's a way to contact a person, not a way to identify a person. Just because you can enforce that only one person with a given postal address can create an account with your service, doesn't make it an inherent "user token".

I second that opinion. There's a lack of depth of knowledge on the IT/Coding side, and people think it's just another little cog that they need to get their deals done.

So you get things like

- Complex derivatives calculated on Excel. You wonder why people make millions on this? It's because you never really know what the heck you're calculating.

- Missed deadlines that should be cron jobs. I remember a guy coming into the office, down a good few hundred grand because he'd forgotten to exercise options that had a dividend on them. I mean that's just stupid, if you had a proper system it would tell you, and the calendar would be synced with Bloomberg.

- Ridiculous budgets. A friend at a major bank is on a $27M project that is essentially a calculator that adds two numbers together. Other people are attempting to break into HFT with zero competent coders, no network other than what can be leased cheaply, and no systems engineers.

- Balls of spaghetti of unimaginable proportions. One c++ guy at a big bank told me he takes 7 hours to compile. He's writing execution code, which you'd think would be relatively snappy.
In the world the number of people whose names do not consist of ASCII characters only wastly outnumber those whose do.
You've said "most people" twice here and I think it's wrong both times.

No, most people who buy Mac laptops and iMacs do _not_ buy an external DVD or Blu Ray drive. Apple is not shifting Macs:Drives in a 2:1 ratio or anything even approaching that.

> I think most people were already moving on to Blu-Ray

In 2008 Blu Ray vs HD-DVD was only just coming to an end. It's extraordinary to claim that "most people" [who had a DVD drive] were transitioning over to Blu Ray. If anything, I'd argue that a huge chunk of people who had DVD players flat-out have not transitioned to BR at all. Either way "most people" is an insane number.

• Paradox' grand strategy games (Hearts of Iron 4, Victoria 2, Europa Universalis 4, Crusader Kings 2, Stellaris) – they're Civ (/Master of Orion) on steroids

• Dwarf Fortress – not so much a learning curve as a learning cliff the depth of Valles Marineris

• Kerbal Space Program – also rather steep learning curve, and needs mods to achieve proper depth, but really deep with them in place

• If you haven't seen it already, OpenXcom is a proper remake/port of the original game and just makes it run properly on modern machines (no more DOSbox!), fixes the bugs (no more 80 items limit) and gives it a modding API.
Yeah, everyone condemns Martin Shkreli, but having watched the video Benjammer5 linked to, he seems like a regular bright dude / techbro (ugh..).

No it didn't die out. It has continued and even floated ideas like that the players that are socially awkward are immature and shouldn't be catered to. It didn't go over well with some people.
And you should; you have no way of knowing if any service is practising proper security or not beyond what you can see (e.g., exclusive use of HTTPS with valid certificates), so assume the worst. It is best to see a password as a shared secret; something you share with a specific service. That means no reuse of passwords if you care about the consequences of that password getting out.
The content doesn't belongs to Google and the permissions granted are the standard for any service that displays or modifies the content.

Friend of mine spent 6 months sailing from Europe to and around the Caribbean and back. He said they planned with 0.8 gallons per person per day. That has some safety margin in it, of course, so 0.5 gal per day per person is likely bang on actual consumption.
With banks there is other problem, because they often use partial passwords. They are password manager unfriendly and often limited to 16 characters.

Our email provider flat out refuses to send to those domains actually so we actually reject the input for the domains that the email provider blocks.

> I would not rule out someone actually using ceo@cocacola at some point

Of course, this is subject to change if the practice changes. The aim is to make sure that we balance the percentage of emails that are correct versus the number of potential rejections. If 0.00001% of users use a top level domain and 99.9999% of emails without a tld are invalid, then it makes sense to reject it. We're not trying to find the most perfect solution just the most convenient solution for users.

Even a single citation to a paper would have gone a long way.... sigh... From my perspective Universal Grammar is not even the biggest contribution to language acquisition that Chomsky made: it's the notion that the mechanism for language acquisition is the same in children as it is in adults. What's weird about this is that I have always been under the impression that Chomsky's opinion was that language acquisition was not a lock step uncovering of universal grammar, but that universal grammar was simply the best way to represent language. Indeed, the work that has been done showing that Krashen's natural order hypothesis is correct (that people acquire the grammar for a language in a certain particular order, independent of the order in which is is presented) give some credence to that notion. It doesn't necessarily follow that the brain actually holds a representation of universal grammar.

I came away from this article being confused as to whether I need to re-read Chomsky's work, or whether the author needs to do so.
RStudio is not a gui, it's an ide. If you change a parameter somewhere you still have to re-run the code and hunt for whatever it is you're calibrating. In Excel, you just change values and you see immediately what has changed. In Excel, you can trivially show subsets (with a dropdown that show you all values in a range), or checkboxes for booleans, do conditional formatting to highlight special values (< 0, within ranges etc). All of which is a pita with R and with anything that has a code/view report cycle, basically.
>I would seriously move off iOS if I was making music with it.

Audio latency used to be a HUGE advantage for IOS vs Android. It was their biggest USP in my opinion. Android has been improving but it's still not there yet. If the next ipad has this it will be the end for musicians using IOS.
I am not sure what you are trying to say. Yes, of course, it costs money. Just like serving websites costs money. And just as checking the syntax of an email address costs money (CPUs cost money and need power to run!). Now, how is that an argument for checking the syntax of an email address to avoid sending a single email and seeing whether it bounces?

Yes, it is a small part of text, but one that may persuade someone into doing PhD, or give a false impression (e.g. the typical one, in which I used to believe: "follow your dreams in academia or get money at a dull job").

(BTW: I guess you know http://www.pgbovine.net/PhD-memoir.htm. Also from an uber-successful PhD student, but the full story, rather than a set of advice.)

It may be something about the field (growth, competition with industry). I think it was not a coincidence that out of many friends of mine who did their PhDs, only Wojciech Zaremba (now in OpenAI) had some non-trivial impact on the world.

I don't want to imply that even if everything works (topic, advisor, funding, the sense of meaning, the sense of progress, ...) it is any easy path. And I am really sure that even with your skills, work ethics (and luck) it was a challenge. Still, even if one field is rosy (DL or maybe CS in general), a typical PhD experience is hardly sth I would recommend blindly (vide links there: https://pinboard.in/search/u:pmigdal?query=academia+depressi...).

The DAC is better placed in the headphone than the phone, because otherwise you get bad sound quality when you use high-end ($100) headphones with a low-end ($100) smartphone. I was able to clearly make out the difference compared to plugging in the same headphones into an iPhone.

Put differently, when the DAC is in the phone, you need to worry about two things in order to get good sound quality — the quality of the headphones and the quality of the phone. With a DAC in the headphone, you worry about only one.
The author states:

"Every page with a Google ad was able to both set and read a Google cookie with your browser (you could turn this off, but no one did), so that Google could get a pretty good picture of which websites you visited."

This is how cookies work. What is unique in this in the context of Google? Google didn't invent cookies. What am I missing?
> which IMO is not the case, but anyway

The headphone jack was not dying out up until yesterday. As of today, it is. In the next five years a whole bunch of phone manufacturers are going to do the same thing.

You're going to absolutely shit yourself when Apple removes the lightning port from the iPhone 10.

> one has to admit that replacing it by a proprietary system like Lightning is a bad idea

Apple's view: we've replaced it with wireless. Use Bluetooth or Apple W1-enabled headphones. It is much better for many reasons. If you can't use them for some reason, use the Lightning headphones we shipped in the box If you can't use them, use the 3.5mm=>Lightning adapter we shipped in the box.

> the only official wireless alternative they offer is a $159 pair of headphones

The only official laptops they offer start at $700. Apple is a premium brand. As of today the complete range of choices Apple enables you to make on headphones, right out of the box:

1. Wired lightning headphones

2. Wired 3.5mm headphones via lightning dongle

3. Any pair of bluetooth headphones

4. Any pair of Apple W1-enabled wireless headphones

If you don't want to spend $159 on a pair of bluetooth headphones then you can go ahead and buy some cheaper ones!

There may have been a reason to create Lightning, but no reason to continue using it now that USB-C exists.

> Also what's up with Apple being so obsessed about pictures?
It's a very, very, very common and important use case for the phone. The iPhone has been for many years the "most popular camera in the world" according to pretty much any metric and any website (Flickr, Instagram, you name it).
They can't keep substantially improving how well it makes phone calls, only tiny incremental improvements happen in that field, but they do frequently have newsworthy changes to the camera, and they know it's a hugely important aspect for the iPhone audience, so they make sure to tell you about it - be it Harry Potter photos, a Backside Illuminated CMOS sensor, more megapixels, better aperture, one more sensor sticking out from a random side, etc.

Easy Ways to Lose Weight Fast:And Keep It Off
The problem is if enough people have been working on a sheet for long enough it becomes very difficult to replicate your work. this is particularly true for projects involving data processing and if they have poor version control practices.
Your address entry needs to be flexible enough to accommodate pretty much arbitrary text. There are no universally required fields for addresses. Zip/postal codes are almost universal, but not entirely. E.g. "name; town; country" is sufficient some places; "name; postcode + town; country" is very common, but it can also go to the opposite extreme of a ridiculous number of separate items, so it's best to just give a number of lines and width that is constrained by your address labels, and let people figure out how best to address things to themselves.

If you need to make you address pretty much free form anyway, it makes practically no difference to ask people to put their address including name. If you ask for a name, the problem is that the name they may want you to use in other contexts is not necessarily the same name that people they live with will recognise them by.

E.g. consider a trans person that want you to know them as one gender, but isn't out to their family.

The safest in general is to not ask for "just" a name, but ask "what should we call you in context X?" but in many cases you can forgo the name by not synthesising data items (such as an address) from multiple parts, but letting users provide the whole thing as one entity (you can still pre-populate based on most common patterns), which as a bonus saves you from other stupid mistakes.
