When your life depends on it, you never want to count on another branch of the service. Or you wind up asking for help from a douche like US Army General McChrystal. Who won't give it to you. Here's one person's comments on how the general fucked over some Marines and Navy:

they left our men to perish without fire
support because of your rules of engagement

I don’t retreat one iota from what I said there.
McChrystal, with his ROE, is a murderer

The request for help went all the way to General McChrystal, but he wouldn't give it to them. Asked again, he refused again.

That's absurd though - if 1% pay income tax, the issue isn't black money, but the fact that the unorganized sector is far larger than the organized sector. And this again a known aspect of the Indian economy.

India has historically been an agrarian society, then a bureaucratically driven planned economy and only post 1990, has it been free market.

That means there's not been enough time for the economy to ensure a good distribution and generation of wealth. Is it unsurprising that wealth distribution is skewed ?
So two things worth thinking about:

That's what I've always thought, haven't tried it with my parents. Idea is, set up a vm, snap shot it, have their save folder somewhere outside of the VM, and then if they manage to mess up the VM, just restore the snapshot.

Honestly, it is when I am trying to teach my parents how to use computers do I realize how annoying computers are. I mean, some of the simplest things we take for granted are pretty dumb if you have to explain it to someone.

No dispute that it's clever and entertaining. These are undesirable qualities in a reliable source of information.

Can you imagine reading a scientific journal in which the data narrative was deliberately engineered to keep you guessing until the conclusion? You would be right to raise eyebrows at a publication that is investing in your attention rather than its own accuracy.

There's no dire consequence here, it's just slightly dystopian that US presidential elections are unapologetically leveraged as a vehicle for mass entertainment by the press itself.
I'm not convinced that such "old days" ever existed. I'm open to the idea, but the more I learn of history, the more it seems like the deals were the exception, not the rule. The system was designed from the beginning to make things difficult.

I think Apple just kills its best product, the non-Retina thirteen-inch MacBook Pro which is affordable and powerful for entry level Mac users.
I'm still using my 2011 MBP. Lots of people have been holding off for a while to upgrade.
Keep in mind that Apple just signaled that they are unlikely to ever again update the Mac Mini, the iMac, the Mac Pro, and the Macbook Air.

It would be more accurate to compare this to overall Mac sales, since all of those other types of users are being funneled toward buying the new Macbook Pro.

I upvoted this comment of yours because it seemed kind of unfair to me for it to be downvoted, and I don't like people being told what they can or can't do, but the gist of what you're trying to argue is complete nonsense. GCM dependence is a complete non-issue in context, and to say that because Telegram doesn't have that dependency it is safer from US intelligence is so over the top ridiculous. Signal-the-app has it's problems, and a fair share of questionable decisions, but GCM and Play Store are not among those.

That Moxie acts with contempt toward people on GitHub issues is true. It is also true that most of those people (in exchanges I have read) are complete ignorants who wouldn't know security if it hit them on the head, yet insist and yell with noble indignation that they're correct. The kind of people who were thought that more FOSS = more security is an axiom and go from there. Since he gets tons of that, I kinda understand why he might act like that. I understand, but do not condone, it's extremely off putting. In the end, one of Signal-the-app's biggest problems is that it's mostly criticized by unreasonable people.
The MacBook (not sure of the differential vs. the Pro) has held the crown of "most popular laptop model" for years and years now, a fact Apple used to advertise somewhat heavily.

I've always thought that a big determining factor there is that Apple's laptop competitors generally have a dizzying array of different models all selling at once, so even when a line is doing well, it doesn't hold a candle to the MacBook just through dilution alone. Unless things have changed drastically since last I looked several years ago Asus, Lenovo, and Dell each sell more than 10 times as many different simultaneous quasi-competitive models than Apple, even if you restrict things to the high end.

Are the other laptops shown particularly strong sellers from those manufacturers? When I think of a current Dell MacBook competitor, I think of the XPS series. I wouldn't pick out any particular Asus machine, but I'd be surprised if their crown jewel was a Chromebook.

I'm actually most surprised by the relatively high sales of the Surface Book, which is definitely Microsoft's proper entry here, though I can't really tell how much of the difference is down to the Surface Book just costing much more than the other non-Apple entrants in the chart.

I think the intended target doesn't matter, because the collateral damage is much larger.

I am genuinely unsure as to how this will play out - I see the good intentions and the executional hazards.

Facts about the economy - it's largely unorganized. Meaning builders and jeweler are not as large as the people doing labor and other mom/pop transactions.

Being unorganized they don't have bank accounts (also ,exams that wealth is stored in assets like gold).

M1 money, is 27 trillion. If 60% of that is in 500/1000s that's 16 trillion. Which has become useless over night, and will disproportionately affect those unorganized people who aren't on the Internet or HN.

The other effect is that yes, people are going to be unable to do black real estate transactions. But this has happened before and it didn't end those particular transactions.

I'm guessing this will be a windfall gain for PSU banks and the exchequer.

Their function is to entertain, information is an afterthought. It is not a managerial decision, all TV is directed by ratings, "entertainment" is what people want, so "entertainment" is what they give to them.
Yeah...

I suppose the "logic" is that stuff involving 9 could connect up with stuff involving 0 or 9. Since all other 1-digit answers seem more distantly related, and the answer has to be 1-digit because 2-digit hasn't been covered, 0 and 9 are the most attractive answers and therefore correct. ???

Remember, that was a class with smart kids in a school in a good area. Imagine what it might be like in not-so-good areas or in the classes that aren't for smart kids.

People who truly hate math are teaching. My sister-in-law is an example. She got a "degree" in "early childhood education". It's a joke. The hardest math she had to pass was algebra, as is taught in 7th grade. Boy did she complain about that class. She thought it was really hard to pass algebra. I'm horrified she got more than halfway through high school without it, yet there she was, taking it in college.

Teachers have serious credential inflation. Many have Master's degrees... but are those degrees worth anything?

> It is after all how the rest of us learned.

Thank you for this very important reminder. Everyone has to learn this at some point, and will necessarily start from a position of relative ignorance; the fact that someone hasn't learned it yet doesn't mean that he or she is stupid, and it's wrong to treat it as such. (Not to say that anyone here, particularly the poster, has said or even thinks this; but it's easy to fall into that mindset, at least for me.)
It looks like they offer a service where consumers let Slice scan their inboxes and keep track of purchases and shipping/tracking info and so forth, and Slice aggregates and monetizes that data.

Each e-mailed receipt contains a treasure trove of data.

Yeah no doubt reading people's emails is a treasure trove of data.

Depends on who is hoarding. If its your local shop, government has no right to interfere unless what they get from the government is more than what they pay in taxes.

You misunderstand my previous comment. I am saying government is like a mob that extort money in return for not f__king your shit up (and that is puttign it lightly). And Indian Governments (from 1950-today) are the biggest the world has ever seen, actively exploiting billion people.

I dont think government has inherent right/duty to tax its people or to assume the duty of developing infrastructure etc. In my opinion government has only two task 1. Defend its people. 2. Maximizing profit for its natural resources. Everything else should be left at competing private companies.

Indeed. The quiz doesn't start with "What does the ANSI C standard guarantee about..." It says "So you think you know C." C is a cross-platform assembly language. I use it when I need to code to the metal. I know exactly how it will behave in most of those scenarios.

English language is foreign for me and physics is my hobby, so you can safely assume that I'm noob in physics and use plain English and simple explanations. I need much more time to read in English that in my native language, especially in areas I'm not familiar with. I cannot just look at page and understand it, like in my native language.

Yep, it was not LIGO. LIGO uses Michelson inteferometer, while I'm looking for Sagnac interferometer results. As far as I remember, I started with that article: https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0401005v3.pdf , then started searching of articles about rotation sensing mentioned in the article. It looks like that it: http://porto.polito.it/2460498/1/G_GranSasso_18.pdf (or a newer paper).

I looked at FIG. 10: The rotation rate of the Earth measured with the G ring laser as a function of time. Averaging over 2 hours was applied to a corrected dataset, where all known geophysical signals have been removed

But their measurements were done with up to 1E-11 accuracy, which is just not enough, because (IMHO) signal will be 10-100x weaker than gravitational wave, so, IMHO, 1E-21 accuracy is required. So my comment, which started that discussion, is just wrong. :-(

About war: war is still here. We are switched to professional army (hence no new conscription) and situation is stable enough (1-7 killed, 3-15 injured every day). Crimea is still captured. Next week will be hard because I will have meeting with my killers. But, after 2 month of preparation, I forgot about one small but important detail, so I am basically unprepared now. Unfortunately, I cannot stop my play because I want to free Crimea next year, and lot of people are already involved, and contact with Russians is important in this case, so I will try to improvise, like before, when I was unprepared. I will delete that text tomorrow.

> is of the opinion that you should check your compiler's behavior rather than read standards

Do both.

Disassemble your compiler's output to see what horrors the optimizer inflicted on your code to "break" it. Read the standard to understand why it thought it was an okay optimization to do in your case, to avoid running afoul of the same mistake again. Ask what other optimizations are enabled by this undefined behavior, the better to spot them when the code your coworker's former boss's roomate, who interned for a month or two, invokes undefined behavior.

Repeat.

(To be fair, I haven't read the standards cover to cover - perhaps I should, I'm still occasionally learning about new and exciting forms of UB...)
Book Review: Albion’s Seed
I suspect the good sales come from a lot of people (like myself) who have simply been holding out for a long time for a new Apple laptop. The macbook is the only laptop Apple has which has been updated this year. Until the new macbooks came out most of apple's line has been using quite old hardware (the old pro and airs hadn't been updated in nearly 2 years). Unsurprisingly the sales of the pro and air lines have been pretty flat for awhile.

Lots of people have been complaining online that the new macbook pro isn't a 'pro' machine because it sacrifices performance for portability. The new macbook pro is really the spiritual successor to the macbook air laptops with upgraded hardware. Another way of thinking about it is that instead of making a faster pro, apple made the pro smaller and gave it great battery life.

There's a very vocal segment of the macbook pro market who's really mad about this. And fair enough - Apple is genuinely no longer catering to the market segment who want a powerhouse you can lug between meetings. But the sales numbers clearly show those users are a minority. For all the noise, almost nobody needs 32 gigs of ram[1]. (Really, most people don't need more than 8.)

I think the majority of users just want a decently performing laptop (check) which looks good (check), is small and light (check) and has great battery life and a decent screen (check and check). ... And doesn't come pre-installed with all the awful manufacturer software you get on modern windows laptops.

I had a look at one in the shop yesterday - the new 13" macbook pro is barely bigger than my old 11" air. Except for the price the new machine is exactly what I want in a replacement laptop. And this is the first laptop apple has released in years for which I can say that - the new macbook is too gutless, the air has a crappy screen and the old pro line was too heavy. Except for the price, I think apple has released a fantastic product.
