So far there isn't any hard evidence (e.g HD videos) that the replacement phones really have the issue. All claims are based on hearsay and "reports".

But if true then Samsung really needs changes to its management and product line. It makes too many phones - right now there they have A, C, J, E lines besides the Galaxy line, confusing and aggravating customers and likely employees as well.

It can also mean that manufacturers are hitting a safety wall with lithium batteries, which is bad news for future phone battery capacities.

I interpret "only CSS" as using semantic HTML and clever CSS.

Abusing tags would be "using HTML and CSS" or cheating.
For me I'm paying the premium for a number of reasons, mainly Apple's stance on privacy and security. You'll be hard pressed to find the same security and privacy commitment from any manufacturer of Android or other competing devices.
When the $200 phone bursts into flames, are you able to sue the Chinese manufacturer for damages? When your $200 phone breaks, do you have to simply buy a new one rather than get it replaced? When there are security holes in your $200 phone, will the cheap skin over Android get patched?

I buy Apple phones for one reason, and that's the fact that my business lives and dies through communication. With my $800 phone, I can walk into any Apple store in the world and get support, a repair, or replacement. When I had a Nexus phone, all I got was runaround and BS from whoever support was contracted out to.
To be fair, they didn't literally incorporate Joda, the new library is "heavily inspired" by it. It has way fewer classes, organized into a very sensibly named hierarchy.

I don't think that's the problem with these plans.

Imagine that email didn't exist, and you were designing it from scratch. There are many easy solutions to the spam problem if you start with a clean slate. The problem is that nobody would ever adopt email today if it was new.

More recent decentralized solutions haven't failed because of spam, but through lack of adoption.
> Perhaps a library covers only 95% of the requirements

95% isn't "only". That's pretty darn high. I'd wish that in-house code covered 95% of requirements more often.

If we're talking about open-source (I can't see why not), you can just fork the library in question and adjust it to fulfill the missing 5%.

> Being available in a package manager, being downloaded by thousand of people, or having a fancy web page, are no indications of a good product.

1. Being used by thousands of people isn't by itself a guarantee that it's good, but it surely makes it more likely.

2. Obviously noone sane would pick third party libraries based on how fancy some web page is. That's a strawman argument.

What If Everything They Told You Is a Lie?
Yeah, I guess you've got a good point there. Also, the infrastructures to cycle are not as good here as in The Netherlands.

I just think, based on people's comments, that there's some silly stigma associated to the helmets like "they're ugly" or "you look silly with it". I've only started cycling again a few years ago, after a childhood of cycling every day without any safety gear; it was hard at first to make myself comfortable with the idea of wearing a helmet. Some time later it just feels natural and I actually get worried when I see people without helmet.

It seems to be something similar to the seat belt. It took time for people to get used to it and nowadays I still see that problem in some countries (usually with old people in small towns).

Edit: Typos. Lack of coffee. Lack of sleep.

Honest question, why there is a need for a ARM based processor on that SIM card? AFAIK, the role of the SIM is to securely store all kind of IDs and PINs and contacts.

I am quite sure that my first SIM card, 20 years ago, didn't have such setup and worked, quite the same.

I take a more selfish approach on this debate. I nearly always write my own code to do something, even when a library already exists... just so I can understand the problem well. Then, when I finally decide to use a specific library, I understand why they're doing something in a specific way more clearly.

Maybe not the most advisable route for commercial work, but one that keeps me satisfied.
Thank you so much for developing such a great IRC client. Question:

This Steve Jobs' famous Speech will blow your mind
When you make a long list like that, the human intuitive norm is to start by assigning a roughly equal responsibility for each of them. However, it is rare to encounter a situation where some effect is obtained by 10 distinct factors all providing an equal contribution. (Think about it from an entropic point of view; that is one very specific configuration of contributions, vs. all the others in which they are not balanced.)

So the relevant question is "Of all the differences, which are the relevant ones?" If the "Dutch reach" is, say, 75% of the contribution, it's worth bringing over. [1] If it's 3%, it not worth worrying about at a governmental scale, as the costs of getting everyone to do it are not zero, and the benefits need to outweigh the costs. (You are free to adopt it; the costs for a person are negligible and the possible benefit of "not dooring a biker" are substantial both to you and the biker in question. But what you should do is a different question than what the government should do.)

In this sort of situation, listing out all the possible reasons and then leaving people to intuitively apply equal responsibilities is a great way to ensure that nothing happens. (I mean, you can actually use that as a technique next time you're in a meeting proposing that something be done that you don't want done; just exhaustively enumerate all the things that would be necessary, watch the idea wither as people intuitively assign incorrectly-large values to every little task if you do it right. You didn't hear this from me though. (I haven't done it, but have been on the receiving end.)) Bringing over one practice at a time in order of effectiveness is something that can happen. Implicitly insisting that we adopt 10 cultural practices all at once, some of which are major changes, just causes fatigue and people to just give up and walk away, and nothing changes.

[1]: Albeit possibly with a different name. It probably would actually be good marketing in the end to leave the name sounding vaguely like a sexual thing as it would get people's attention and generate some good buzz, but I doubt our bureaucracy would go in for that approach.
You can't make land less valuable, because it's scarce, and some locations really are better than others. That said, you can make sure that the extra value of particular locations is captured by the community, rather than by speculators and rentiers generally. The standard method of doing so is the [Land Value Tax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax).
That last ten percent makes a difference when it's something you use frequently every day.

Nice link, thanks. That seems to be another education issue: Drivers think cyclists with helmets are more experienced, so they don't feel the need to leave as much room as they do with "less experienced" cyclists.

It is an interesting point and I didn't know about it.

Almost unrelated, but I've found this part of the article funny - shows how we have to be careful with grand headlines and look at the article itself:

> Henry Marsh, who works at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, London, said that many of his patients who have been involved in bike accidents have been wearing helmets that were ‘too flimsy’ to be beneficial.

Well, no shit Sherlock. The cases where the helmet helped don't end up in your hands. Guy's a neurosurgeon.
I know this would be a lot harder, but I think the best solution would be some city redesign where we separated bike and automobile routes, or at least minimized the places where they are together.

The Dutch reach _is_ clever, but it takes a lot of retraining of existing motorists, so it will take concerted awareness raising and probably a fairly long time-frame to take effect here.

Are you kidding? "hard evidence (e.g HD videos)"

At least 2 of these have happened while people have been sleeping (One guy in KY had to be hospitalized to to inhalation of the smoke) and even if it happened during the day most people have 1 camera/video camera with them and it's their phone. Most people don't carry around a second camera to be used only to film their supposedly safe replacement bursting into flames. It sounds like the only way you'd believe this to be true is if you saw video of a phone from production, to signing off by the president of Samsung that it was safe, to shipping, to full use of the phone until such a time that it burst into flames. People with phones that have caught fire have provided proof that the serial numbers of their phones were supposed to be replacements and thus safe.
New England is depressingly the opposite. I've seen actual world changing ideas (think curing major disease or advanced robotics) get less attention and funding than a photo sharing app would in SV.
AmigaOS paths are separated with "/" between directory elements, not "\", but with a volume name separate from the path name with a ":", similar to Windows.

But what makes matters more complicated, is that on AmigaOS "/" is equivalent to "." on Unix systems, and "//" equivalent to "..", and "."/".." are legal filenames. AmigaOS doesn't have an equivalent to "/" in Unix (everything is rooted in a volume, and there are many volumes), but ":" can be used to prefix a path to make it relative to the root of the current volume...

It breaks all kinds of assumptions people make..

>Let me ask you this, then: can the principle of falsifiability itself ever be falsified?

In the relevant sense, yes. We switch out conceptual definitions when they fail to encompass the relevant empirical instances. If falsifiability turned out to allow, for example, theology to be considered a science, then we would have to throw out falsifiability. As it is, it's only a coarse-grained principle for demarcation, hence the arguments about string theory.
Cool story, but today all startups have so much material available to teach them how to pitch. Many crappy ideas are professionally pitched all the time, so if you get 1000 rejections and aren't totally ignorant about pitching, your idea has to be terrible.

What I would actually appreciate was a source that would tell me the "real" taxes paid at every level. I don't know if one exists, but it would be a really interesting comparison.

I.e.: A source giving real percentage of taxes paid for each anual income. Why: because these here at the maximum taxes. These are pretty accurate for lower income people since they don't have many ways to avios paying taxes, but when you get to the very rich the number changes completely, they use a number of loopholes to avoid paying their taxes.

Won't affect my decisions come renewal time, I have no beef against the jack but I've come to despise wired headphones so much that the loss of the jack is inconsequential to me.

And even driving my old beater won't cause me any hassles because the FM radio transmitter I bought for the car uses USB for both power and audio. Lots of inexpensive car stereos offer USB and Bluetooth in.

The main takeaway is that nobody in Netherland wants helmets to be mandatory. The positive effects of a helmet are insufficiently proven, and the negative effects of making helmets mandatory seem not worth the risk. Some organizations do recommend helmets for children between 10 and 14, which seems to be the group that's most likely to benefit from them.
I started programming around the beginning of high school and then stopped at the end of high school and became a car salesman. 8 years later I went back to school and got a CS degree and am thriving.

Resistance is a simplification of characteristic curves, which themselves are simplifications. You can easily get a voltage drop across battery terminals, you just have to put the battery in series with another battery. This is dangerous. You could also hook up an active current sink. Again, dangerous. There is nothing preventing the internal battery resistance from causing the terminals to go negative except for the simple fact that most equipment we connect to batteries will stop working before that point is reached (unless you hook batteries in series—which is why batteries in series must be close to identical, so they run out at the same time).

I do not understand the notion of a fast language. I can buy the idea that a compiled (or JITted) language will run loops faster than an interpreted one. But writing a DGEMM in Julia or in Fortran is not what will make it fast, it's careful performance profiling and machine-specific optimizations that will do this. Apparently every language community has to learn this the hard way once it gets mature enough. See the following for an example from the C++ world: https://youtu.be/hfn0BVOegac?t=30m40s.
