That would be the CC company's job, not? IIRC, at least in US law, if you dispute a charge they can't make you pay for it and they can't also add interest to it. And in practice, no signature dispute is almost always decided for the consumer. That's why merchants are so drastic with compromised accounts - otherwise people would just buy stuff, use it and then claim fraud, and merchants would lose tons of money. They have to create disincentive to cheat.

But the link does not always go the the same place. I personally am always clicking on external links when I meant to go to the discussion page. I would have the main link always go to the discussion page, if there is an associated external link, have it listed under the main link. Lets see if I can get this to show what I mean (grabbed from the front page)

The main target is consistent, there is a clear external link if it exists. Probably could drop the Link: part.
It is now, because of this suit. The throttling itself is not the issue- as other people are pointing out, it's arguably preferable to overage charges or bandwidth caps- it's the fact that T-Mobile wasn't making this clear to customers.
A quick reminder that 4G != LTE. The 4G specification requires a minimum speed [1] so LTE was launched to avoid exactly this minimum. It seems that the companies did it right by launching LTE instead of 4G as they could have lost their 4G status, while now they could drop as low as 3G speeds and still be called LTE (which is ironic on itself).

This wasn't commented at all in the article, using 4G and LTE interchangeably which I find troubling.

No, I didn't miss it.

Those of us who aren't obsessing over this reality TV-show, joke of an election don't think like that.

You're taking a phrase which has existed for, oh, I don't know, probably as long as locker rooms have existed, and re-branding it as "locker room talk now equals bragging about sexual assault" henceforth until the end of time.

Do you realize how dangerous that is?

In the same vein as this article (tangentially): the term "mancave" has been branded forever as offensive to feminists. We're apparently heading down the same road with "locker room talk". Unreal.

Again, I just can't.
Then call it what it is -- condescension.

Do we label Asians that cheat on tests in college as "chinks"? No! That's awful and bald-faced racism, we just call them cheaters with low moral standards.
Our tagline has always been a bit of a struggle -- we originally said OkCupid for jobs, and then tried (briefly) doing Tinder for Jobs, but none of it felt really "close" to what we were going for.

The idea behind using the Pandora analogy was: when you start a new station on Pandora, you input something you want to listen to, and it starts playing music, at which point you can "like" or "dislike" the song to get Pandora to "learn" what type of music you like.

In that same way, you can "like" or "dislike" a lot of things about a job posting, and then we can give job recommendations will try to find jobs that fit you based on that.

But even outside that, we also allow you to filter through a bunch of other things, so the Pandora analogy breaks down somewhat fast about that time. If people have thoughts as to how we can describe this differently, we're all for it :)
I'll freely admit that I probably misread your intent, as I half suspected.

If all your goals in this situation had your kid's well being in mind, then I misunderstood you and I apologize for that.

From your wording (specially the "engineer the situation" bit) it sounded to me like you behaved differently in those situations because other adults were around. The assumption I made was that you did so to teach them a lesson, so to speak.

If your method towards overseeing your child is the same whether there were other adults around or not, then I obviously misunderstood you and I apologize for that.

I originally understood "engineer the situation" as "provoke a misunderstanding - where none would have taken place otherwise - with the goal of making other adults uncomfortable and so they may understand their mistaken view".

It seems obvious now that this was the wrong reading, but would mind explaining further what you meant by "engineering the situation"?

[EDIT] I have one other question:

> Our son, per instructions, refused to give his last name.

May I ask why? If my son got lost, or needed to ask for help from other adults, or was caught in an emergency situation at school, I would want them to be armed with as much information as possible in order to enable an adult to contact me as soon as possible.
It's not a question of impatience at lag. This is a real-time application. Would you expect a race car driver or fighter pilot to use a system that doesn't respond in in time?

SSRIs made me angry. Like really angry. I remember when I was so angry I wanted to kill anyone making noise. I don't know why it did that for me but when I got off of them I wasn't even nearly as angry or irritable since. So it's why I still refuse get anti-depressants again unless the doctor agrees to steer clear of SSRIs.
not really, once you have kids in picture its a whole different math. also the whole buying vs renting thing. to drive the seriousness of this home, Elizabeth warren did a study back when she was a prof & found that for every 10 point deviation from median in school performance house prices went up by 20 points.
Because the US did not care that much of newly freed countries (imho they were just happy to have millions of talented,hard working immigrants).

Older generation of pro USSR countries still does not have much sympathy towards USA (because of several reasons). And the young are too few to make a difference. Even when it comes to their parents they just cannot convince them.

What USA should have done better was to help these countries to uplift from poverty.

Bias is acceptable if you're earning a profit? The "that we all know is bullshit" bit is highly debatable, and doesn't really reflect the reality of news consumption for most Americans [1].

How does releasing information on one party and not the other invalidate their position as activists? No information on Republicans means WikiLeaks no longer cares about fighting corruption and increasing transparency? And that they're somehow profit driven because of that too?

Should they have looked for information on all of the detainees at guantanamo when they released the guantanamo files, just to avoid the possibility of perceived bias?

> There's also lots of people that don't know how to problem solve with Google. The concept just doesn't exist for them.

I currently teach at a university, and to be fair, learning via Google and Stack Overflow is not such a straightforward proposition. This is directly related to the screeds that are occasionally written about how complex JavaScript, etc. has become.

Yesterday, I was Googling around for answers on Bash minutiae -- how to read arguments with flags, the difference between single- and double-bracketed conditional statements, how to assign a heredoc to a variable -- but finding those answers was easy because I knew exactly what to look for, and more importantly, how to filter out irrelevant answers, because even with good Google queries, I had to read more than a few erroneous StackOverflow pages to get what I wanted.

Beginners in programming do not have similar advantages. Assuming they even know what they should be searching for, which in my experience they don't, they lack the ability to formulate what they need as a Google-friendly query. And they're pretty much completely lost when it comes to judging the content of competing "solutions". The hardest part are the unknown unknowns, e.g. beginners don't know to be aware of software dependencies, platform-specific behavior, etc. etc.

Google is invaluable to folks who are reasonably competent in their fields. But I wouldn't say that it's obviously adept for problem solving, especially for beginners.
If you "git push" after rebasing published commits, you get an error, unless you use "--force" or you pull and merge manually before hand.

So I'm still not sure the distinction you are making between which one is "immutable" and which one isn't.
"Operating on the planet's surface would also be a first for Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, which is a partner in the mission — and which plans to partake in future joint Europe–Russia missions, including a 2020 rover landing on Mars. The Soviet Union came close to success in 1971 with the Mars 3 probe, which failed just 20 seconds after landing on the surface."

First I was excited to become aware of a new human artifact landing on Mars today - but now I'm even more fascinated by how things could've turned out if the Russians had managed to boogie around in an rc car on Mars three decades ahead of NASA...
This kind of stuff still happens all the time today. A few years ago I worked for a small government contractor which did a lot of phase 1 and 2 projects for the DoD. Most of the contracts we got were for developing experimental technologies to make soldiers more effective, which involved a lot of guessing what the soldiers actually wanted. After making a shiny demo (usually held together with duct tape, ugly perl scripts, and prayers) which the government PM would fall in love with, we would do field testing which would inevitably end with the soldiers reporting that it was a cool piece of technology, but almost completely useless to them. Anyway, it was lots of fun to work on those projects :)
> The difference is that a plane crash is largely out of your hands. Sending your child out to play unsupervised is a conscious decision.

There is no difference there. Sending your child out to play unsupervised and getting on a plane each have X risk of Y outcome so your decision is based on those variables.

GP was simply suggesting that the risk of one's child being abducted (by social services or others) is probably similar to the risk of being on a plane that crashes (e.g. so low that most people do not even think about it).
> Deal with Amazon's new, terrible delivery service

God, this has bitten me more times than it should have before I stopped buying from Amazon. Several times they marked an item as delivered even though it wasn't (I was home all day and nobody came to the door for any reason, no trucks on the street), presumably because they have a package quota and they aggressively overstuff their drivers. Once they delivered it, but left it right at the head of my driveway. What a huge pain.
In the book 'free range kids' they talk about how your are 20,000 times more likely to have your kid die in a car accident than to be kidnapped by a stranger, yet how many of us put kids in the car seat every day, but teach them all about 'stranger danger' and keep a overbearing eye on them? The objective risk doesn't matter, its that parents feel a lack of control over kidnapping, which gets covered in the news, compared to driving..
It'd remarkable to me how many people who support 'diversity' and 'inclusion' will shun those who have ideas/beliefs they disagree with. Good job to Mark for not being one of those people.
Yep, T-Mobile's actual practices are consumer-friendly; this is just a debate on the marketing language of "flat rate" vs. "unlimited".
That's not quite right. The Pi has a completely separate GPU unit. The VC4 is different, and is a pretty normal processor, although it's got a pile of DSP addons.

The instruction set's here:

https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv/wiki/VideoCor...

...but to summarise:

- 32 registers which can hold either integers or 32-bit floats;

- ARM-like 32-bit 3op instructions, with a limited set of 16-bit 2op instructions;

- integrated 32-bit floating point instructions, using the same registers as everything else;

- some 48 bit instruction forms (allowing a full 32-bit payload! No ghastly ARM constant pools or PowerPC-style split payloads!);

- two cores, with integrated interrupt handler;

- integrated DSP with 80-bit vector instructions working on a 64x64x8bit vector working area, which TBH looks like it was stolen from another processor completely and which I frankly don't understand;

- ARM-style conditional execution (for some instructions);

- ARM-style multiregister loads and saves (and pushes and pops);

- DSP-style saturated arithmetic and fixed-point support;

- no ALU-setting-condition-flags instructions, or add-with-carry or subtract-with-carry operations, which makes 64-bit arithmetic really painful (if you need cmp to set the condition flags, what's the carry flag even for?)

It's actually a really nice thing to write assembly for. It's orthogonal enough to be understandable, while quirky enough to allow some really satisfying optimisations. e.g. there's the addcmpb instruction, which while add a value to a register, compare with another register, and branch based on a condition code, all in a single 32-bit operation --- it's basically a loop in a box.

It's also the only time I've ever seen 6-bit floating point constants...
I'll take whatever harm you're implying over the world of the 60ies where half of the population were relegated to 2nd class citizen, I couldn't have found a life partner I would want to spend time with because none of them were allowed to get an adequate education and scientific and technological progress were willingly cut on half because only men were given the chance to participate.

(or the 1920ies, because what people were apparently warning we would lose in the 60ies had already been lost during WWII)
Amazon is inching more and more towards a giant fraud operation every day. I'm glad this is getting more attention, however I fear it will continue unabated until someone is seriously injured or killed due to a dangerous knockoff causing a fire or other life-threatening hazard.

It's also rather unbelievable to me that big companies like Apple haven't come down on them like a ton of bricks for such large-scale facilitation of trademark violation. It's good that they are finally going after one of the individual vendors, but that's whack-a-mole at the end of the day. How big does the problem have to get before there is pushback against Amazon itself?
I did a coding bootcamp. It helped in a combination of all the ways you mentioned. Most importantly, I think I needed a way to commit myself to spending 8+ hours every day on learning coding for awhile. I don't have the personality/willpower to do that on my own, although once I made the commitment I never felt like skipping a day of class. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

It was App Academy by the way, a bootcamp that was appealing to me because of its tuition-conditional-on-employment payment scheme. Which meant that I was only risking my own time and effort in learning, not an additional 10k like the poor students of the guy in the article.
+1 for the Nanny State reference. In typical UK surveillance state fashion they pander to base fears and unforgivably overlook how bad censorship is in places like China. Where it not for censorship I think the thrill of surfing the Open Web would be dampened, just like when drugs instantly become more exciting when they are outlawed and regulated.

I am certain outlawing base primal urges, like the right to ingest what one desires into one's own body makes such primal urges even more favorable, often to the point of detriment to the State who then have to feverishly invent something inverse to people's actual needs like Alcohol, or bromides like Sugar to pacify their citizenry.
"He had a penchant for oversharing personal information and sometimes ripped hits from a colorful glass bong during video lectures with the students."

And arch takes a big slice too. Perhaps new supported functionalities for specific processors ?
I think that control of content is one of the major reasons for this. If users were more able to readily (and for zero cost to them) cache content when connected to local networks then we would see less content transferred over 'higher cost' networks.

Of course streaming services (I'm thinking more of Twitch than Netflix) for live content production are 'rather difficult to cache' in their prime viewing time.
I don't get it why would anyone read something like this. I mean it is not bad but simply hurts my brain.
Of course I don't. I grew up in and around religions. This isn't like me trying to tell some single African woman about child rearing or anything.

I have insider knowledge, as much as anyone else, and I resent your implication that I'm not allowed to have an opinion.
If that were so, "left" and "right" would reflect similar inclinations across polities and evolutionarily-short time periods.

They don't.

Or at least, I'd be highly amused to see someone attempt to square the Trump platform with Burkean thought, and that's a relatively smallish difference, both evolutionarily and intellectually speaking, compared to others.
Is this the way it works in US? Won't the shipping company / post office provide a box and print the label?
That's clearly not what I meant. Grammatical prescriptivism is considered incorrect by pretty much any linguist.
What I don't get is: why can't I as an app developer specify what kind of data transfer rate I need and have the phone choose which connection type it needs depending on the currently running software?

Like, if I'm doing push notifications or IRC, I'd tell the phone that I only need 2G speeds, and the phone only connects to something faster than 2G if I open the web browser.

Right now, my phone books into LTE as soon as it's in coverage mode - and it stays there, eating power like nothing else, instead of dropping into the relatively quiet and strong-signal 2G/3G/HSxPA cells and saving power.
Increase your costs so you make very little "profit" on paper. Shareholders wouldn't like it, but your fines would be close to 0.

Profit is a terrible metric, it measures the efficiency of your organization.

I am curious if there is a measurable benefit to the animal? If there is so much methane not being produced is it because the current diet is just so wrong for the animal that the methane is the adverse reaction to it? Does cattle that is allowed to graze as it likes with no added foods producing the same amounts?

Also, what is being produced if anything if the methane isn't? As before, is this beneficial or not to the animal.
on the point of recursive loops: The most amazing thing about IJ, to me, is how the book itself _does_ recurse; chronologically the first scene in the book takes place after the last, and when you reach then end you could reasonably start again from the beginning, with the knowledge you've picked up on your first reading informing your second and fundamentally changing the tone and mood of the book.

Your phone is actually far more battery-efficient when it's able to only use LTE (i.e., if your carrier supports Voice over LTE). It's having to have both radios on (one for voice and one for data) that is hard on the battery.
You're right. And I am one of the people criticizing ribbon, because I think menus and toolbars have different purposes that shouldn't be conflated (menu is for all possible UI actions with no possibility for user to customize, while toolbar is for most common UI actions and other interactive elements with possibility to customize). With ribbons, the possibility of customization is gone.

But to the point, I think the "more to it" is simply inertia of existing user base. Which is no small consideration apart from just usability.

Addendum: Actually, lack of customization in modern software is also very interesting topic for a discussion.
But one doesn't pick what to learn just between several languages, in fact I think they're a pretty poor investment after a certain count.
When learning Obj-C I didn't get much out of it. I like several Swift idioms, but it was hardly worth it to learn a language for that.

In contrast I finished an architecture course recently that I expect will bring me 10x value of knowing both of the above languages.
