This is slightly off-topic, but why does this website hijack the middle-click button? It's pretty annoying.
Basic is designed around two guiding principles; instilling fundamental military skills, and social coercion to instill compliance. I don't mean the latter in a derogatory way at all. Think about it; who in their right mind wants to expose themselves to small arms fire, etc etc? Basic training has a lot of experience dealing with people "who don't want to be there." Now it's become a lot softer compared to during the Cold War; we have to treat everyone as a special snowflake, and a lot of the old methodologies have become proscribed. But if the military let out everyone who decided (during basic) that signing on the dotted line was a mistake, the system wouldn't work.
But also Austria spends a lot of efforts and. Oney to better distribute wealth. This has a positive impact overall because it reduces the extreme cases that can cost a lot of money and impact society.

I disagree. There are whatsapp groups of hundreds of members, some used for political action. If they indeed lose messages, people notice.

I'm not sure why you bring up plaintext (it is irrelevant, regardless of Twitter still being plaintext itself).

Engineering wise, the user-visible side of Twitter is more or less as complex as the user visible side of whatsapp. Both can be done on very modest hardware with modest operations if they are properly done. Whatsapp was lean (and probably still is). Twitter never was.

Yep, you’re right. I bought my GameCube new back in the day and it only came with the composite cable. The component cable is a separate purchase and Nintendo only sold it in Japan. In addition to that, the Digital A/V Output Port was also removed from newer GameCube models¹, lowering the probability of someone wanting the cable even further.

Please refer to source code to prove your argumentation.

I'm not digging through source code for you; transactional atomicity is a well-known and thoroughly researched problem.

Transactions in an ACID system are atomic by definition. They're designed in such a way that either an entire transaction occurs, or no part of a transaction occurs – in other words, it's not possible to partially apply a transaction, by design.

There are a bunch of different approaches to implementing this. I'd guess that MySQL does something like write the complete set of modifications in a transaction to disk as a separate buffer, and only once the entire transaction is complete updating some associated metadata to add the transaction to the database. A power failure at any point will result in an uncommitted transaction, which will have no effect on the database.

Here's the appropriate Wikipedia article for further reading -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(database_systems) - lets suffice to say that if you are rejecting the idea that atomicity exists then I don't know what else to tell you. It's a core concept in information systems.

Something feels off about this whole post, but can't put my finger on it.

For example, appears the company makes money selling their code to online newspapers, but when a major media company uses their code the response is to tell them to stop doing it.

I would be curious to see the take down notice that was sent literally said.
Equality is not necessarily defined for values of different types ("with different vtables", if you will). You can't just compare values of different type and expect a meaningful result.
> And the biggest point: it was the first Game Boy to include a rechargeable battery! This was huge, since people really didn’t buy rechargeable batteries nearly as much back then as they do now, so you’d pretty much be either wasting two alkaline batteries per day or two, or staying tethered to a wall by using the included AC adapter.

I definitely had a rechargeable battery pack for my Gameboy Color[1], and at the height of the Pokemon craze, it was an essential investment...

They sell a product. That product is the ability to produce beautiful stories for online publications. There is code in there, and because of the poor copy, it's obvious that the code was stolen.

But, what I don't understand is, why didn't they call it plagiarism, which is usually what you would call a copied story.

Panhandling is a tough way to make a buck.

Such reasoning would not allow reading the question-asker's mind, so no. You can rationally arrive at either interpretation of the question.

Smartphones are really terribly designed to be actually used as a telephone.

Techies can only assist the scientists in bringing their successful lab experiments into the real world. I expect scientists to solve problems in two fields - agriculture and water resources (especially drinking water) - before tackling fancier things like interplanetary exploration, brain computer interfaces etc. I understand not all scientists (or their domains) are equal but I expect science to solve basic problems first. Science created the problem by making people live longer, so science must solve the problem as well (half kidding). Once a solution is in beta mode, the techies can go crazy building software and gadgets for it, which is what they do well.
My thoughts. Why not just drop them an email, or call to ask them to remove it? It would be so much nicer, plus you could always send the DMCA afterwards and refer to your previous, "nice" enquiry.

This is compassion / responsiveness, not empathy.

Empathy = mental simulating of how an action will affect another.

Compassion = a desire to help another.

Responsiveness = the ability to recognize changes in someone's emotional state, and then develop and engage in a course of action based upon that change.

With the restrictions it currently imposes (sandboxing), I think we would see a significant withdrawal from the Mac platform. Many developers would stop making apps (especially those that are for power users, which when turn more devs away from macs). I doubt Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop) would be technically possible with sandboxing, so Adobe would withdraw from Mac. MS Office would probably be gone as well. Parallels and other virtualisation software would find it extreme difficult to run.

Valve would have to pull Steam because you can be as sure as hell they aren't going to give Apple a 30% cut of Steam sales. There goes Skype as well.

Without special deals with lots of developers, I doubt we would see many more apps on the App Store and instead we'll see the Mac be an unsuitable platform for many/most people. It would turn into a glorified Chromebook.
Personally I'd try to first contact Al-Jazeera (in a friendly and direct way, not DMCA) before a name and shame. This could after all be the fault of some technical intern at Al-Jazeera who didn't think twice about ripping code. And I suppose DMCA notices are easily ignored if they come via e-mail.
Amphetamine is not neuroprotective in a general sense, nor is that what the study shows. The study shows that gradually increasing the dose apparently allows rats to avoid some of the neurotoxicity effects of the amphetamine doses.

Amphetamine is well known to be toxic to rats in high doses, and the study you linked confirms as much. They just identified a dosing scheme which reduced the neurotoxicity through gradual dose increases, perhaps by giving the brains a chance to adapt.

It should not be interpreted to suggest that amphetamine is neuroprotective in general.

From the press release:

Amazon today announced “Amazon Wind Farm Texas,” a new
253-megawatt (MW) wind farm in Scurry County, Texas,
that will generate 1,000,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of
wind energy annually

Seems optimistic. Rule of thumb is that onshore wind generates 30% of its plate rating. That's 660GHw, not 1000, for a 253MW plant. Still a nice, impressive number, just seems over-cooked.
The most interesting aspect to me was that the story didn't make the New York Times. Today the story would be international news and would probably take up 48-72 hours of continuous coverage on CNN.

I doubt it's about price gouging -- Apple makes most of its money selling phones, tablets, and computers, not adapters and accessories. Sure, you could argue that they're trying to lock their customers in by getting them to invest in tons of adapters and accessories that would need to be replaced if they switch to another ecosystem, but I think iOS and the App Store ecosystem are much better at that. Besides, why would they keep changing port designs every few years if lock-in was the goal? There's no better time than a port redesign to switch to someone else's hardware if you need a new device and have to buy new accessories anyway.

USB C seems like the future for basically _all_ ports on all devices, so I do think it's a shame that Apple's going to stick with Lightning for iOS devices. It's hard to blame them for this -- Lightning is quite a bit thinner[1]. But I also don't share their obsession with device thinness.
