That's why I recommended you google it yourself. I mean, just find the video of the black woman in a wheelchair burning a cross on her own lawn before calling the police. There's a video. That's just one example. Research yourself on sites you trust. To just dismiss what I'm saying this way, claim I'm looking at alt-right infowar pages when I didn't direct you anywhere specific... meh.
Actually it is 1 day maximum, which is the legal requirement for transfers within the EWR. If it takes longer at your bank, go sue them. But I can't share your experience. I've lately transferred money between three different banks, on a Sunday, and it all happened in near-real-time (DKB, comdirect and my local Sparkasse where involved).
I love deleting code. It's probably when deleting code I feel most productive. And of cause: deleted code is debugged code.
Yes there is this option but it does nothing, since the default permissions privacy guard allows when "on by default" seem to be the permissions the app requires, I.e. you have to manually set them either way.
It does not, it is still about 5 times slower than Sublime (just random measurement of how long it takes to start editor & initialize workspace on my machine). But speed is good enough that VS Code became my main editor.
I'm myself using a non-profit email redirection service as my main e-mail address. They do not provide an email box, just the redirect, so they can keep the service lean with a very modest one-time fee for new members.

This allows me to change the actual e-mail provider when needed. I already moved (successfully) away from Gmail, and I'm currently considering moving again as the spam protection of my current paid-for email service isn't that great.

I think the redirection service is ingenious. Sadly it isn't available worldwide, so I won't advertise it here, but I'm sure there are others like that.

[9fans] Job interview questions
I've been w/ you guys since there was a 'bounce' function (miss that, btw). Used to use 2FA w/ a Yubikey, but stopped for some reason that made sense at the time, though I don't recall what happened, was so long ago.

What keeps me from enabling 2FA again, is that there's always some kind of "I lost my 2FA device" function which essentially allows it to be bypassed. So whoever's determined enough could find answers to secret questions or whatever to gain unauthorized access. If it were possible to disable this attack vector I'd get another Yubikey & try again- if...

...The other thing that prevents me from going this route, which is: The fact that it's impossible to implement an additional Yubikey functioning as a "clone" of the one used to secure the account. I can't say I've never lost my (physical) keys. But when I do I just grab my backup copies, make new backup copies, & all is well. No can do with a Yubikey.

> There are advantages to GC, even Rust has runtime GC.

If you want GC there are any number of good languages to pick with it (e.g. OCaml).

> Also when something goes wrong with types in JavaScript the worst case scenario is "2"+2 turns into "22" witch is easy to avoid, compared to a silent overwrite/overflow.

It's memory-safe but it's not safe. What if an error like that happens in your permission-checking code? I agree that silent overwrites and silent overflows should not happen and that language that have those things are bad, but that doesn't make silent type errors any better.
> Many software vulnerabilities are rooted in subtleties of correctly processing integers, in particular, if these integers determine the size of memory buffers or locations in memory.

So, proper care of buffer overflow doesn't end when test everywhere if you're really within bounds, but when conversions from different sizes of data types, given that 64 and 32-bits number types can use more or less bytes in memory.

And in one of the examples:

> For example, assigning a pointer to an int variable under ILP32 is never truncating (4 -> 4), but on the 64-bit platforms it is (8 -> 4).

In Germany you are even required to drive fast on the Autobahn while taking your drivers' test I heard. I can't find the hard numbers to back it up but probably up to 160 or 180Km/H.

This is very different from the sedated "keep your lane", slow speeds and wide roads everywhere traffic in the US.

I guess I am one of those Luddites then, I love manuals and inherited that from my mother of all people. Fortunately they haven't been displaced very much with motorcycles and they may be the last bastion of manual transmissions.

regardless of claims, I am very convinced that you can achieve the best mileage with a manual transmission and one reason for that is because you can predict your needs based on what you see and no automatic will do that.

of course with EVs this is all out the window but I am always curious as to why so many EVs focus on raw power instead of gearing a lower powered motor ?
Anyone know of a comparison of similar tools. I've tinkered with this one:

I have been taking a Thunderbird local dump of all my Google mail for years as a backup (Thunderbird's mbox format is readable everywhere) so I can clear my Google account regularly, yet have a backup.

No idea what I'll do when Thunderbird eventually goes away - what is the replacement with identical functionality on macOS? I only want to grab mail and append to my existing mbox files.

With automatics you would need to brake down the hill to stop the car "running away" as it wouldn't engine brake automatically to compensate for gravity's effect.

Most automatic transmissions (or at least the ones I've driven, which arguably is not more recent than late 90s) have low ranges where there is engine braking. That's the exact use case for them. Automatic doesn't (or didn't) mean that you must never shift manually.

Automatic transmissions in large vehicles like trucks and buses usually don't have freewheels either, so there is always engine braking.
I don't respect the self-imposed "x-platform native UI experience" constraint anymore. Even windows slowly rebuilt its user interface and experience over the years.

It isn't a user demand, it doesn't put any pressure on support, frankly I have no idea what these people who spread all this custom drawn vs native control polemic were thinking.

Also, if you are making money, who cares if you drew some of your controls on a canvas instead of trying to goad some restricted native elements into acting and drawing like you want them to?
This is not just about backups; this is the reason why I keep my mail on my own domain. ( It could by my own domain on gmail; it's not, but that a slightly different story )
This way I can move it to another company, alter DNS, do whatever I want with it to fix an issue.

When you're relying on a company you cannot circumvent in a situation like this (xyz@gmail.com as primary address), you might end up not being able to use your primary account, which might effect your business.

EDIT: I'm not going to address the problems with the DNS system itself, which is similarly flawed - you are only leasing a domain, not owning it, and the company maintaining it has the power over it. In theory, this could have been addressed with .onion IDs, but those are impossible to remember and with namecoin's .bit, bit this is not supported by enough real life DNS systems, so there is no alternative to that (yet).
We don't have snooze yet, but it's getting really close. We have a plan for it which I started on nearly a year ago (Christmas day 2015!) and then it got mothballed behind other things - but we have a grand plan for how it would work, so it's a matter of some more internal plumbing.

I just took a look at the Instant 2FA app.

What exactly about this thing warrants the use of a behemoth of a framework like Ember?

The entire app looks like an optimization of a poor experience in another web service. I'll conserve my cynicism for their actual app, which could have been implemented without even the need of a framework.

What is exactly complicated about a few different screens? I fail to see the need for even a web app here.

Also, I'm not sure I understand any of their arguments. Does it really take days to setup a test harness in anything?

Also, the bit about progressive enhancement -- are we really talking about this still? When using a single page application framework? For an app that does two factor auth. I'd also be concerned about the security surface area for an app like this that pulls in a dependency like Ember, on a third party site during the login/auth experience. It's bad enough that we have third parties pulling in react to display some simple forms and buttons.
> Nobody said that all stories are fake.

You're sure about that? The OP was referring to a "vile post of total incendiary bullshit." I don't know what led to this rather vague statement, but to me one possible reading seems to be that all or at least the vast majority of the reports are false (and are spread knowing that they're false.)

Isn't it obvious? They've been censored. Matt Lauer can't even ask legitimate questions about Clinton's private email server without being publicly censured for being a "bad" journalist.

it doesn't matter is they are established before or after. all it matters is that users have the choice and choosing these (and other) products over the Google provided ones.
Google has bundled a form of messenger app since forever with its services. People just keep choosing other better ones.
Google has tried 2-3 time to break into the social scene but even though Google Buzz was bundled with gmail it was not used. although everyone with the gmail account had a G+ account it is not even close to FB or Twitter.
The simple fact of bundling is not a problem when there are choices. Amazon even takes Android, takes out EVERY SINGLE REFERENCE to google services and uses it for it's own products. So android can not be considered in any form monopolistic because it offers choices does not block them.

from that your comment:

>Homosexual partnerships, which are incapable of producing children, thus are of no benefit to the state, and can only be an unproductive diversion of funds which otherwise would be allocated to the benefit of heterosexual marriages which can and often do produce children.

i think you're completely wrong here. Homosexual couples do adopt children and given the number of children in the foster care one can see how a homosexual couple adopting an existing child may be of even bigger benefit to the state/society/planet than a heterosexual couple producing a brand new child.

Like with most of the "liberal/progressive" agenda - ecology/climate, marijuana legalization, education, healthcare, social safety net, death penalty abolishment, equal gay and others rights, etc... - i wish to think that this is we, humans, becoming morally better, yet it is also very easy to notice that when the wide society accepts those ideas it is almost always correlates ("correlation is no causation"?) with the fact that at the time of accepting of the given idea that acceptance is economically more beneficial than the not-acceptance. Well, better carrot than the stick...

It doesn't, the fact that more reputable news organisations have contacted the local police and they've confirmed that several of the most prominent reports are fake does.[1] Ultimately the problem isn't that any one particular story turned out to be false, it's that social media spreads the most incendiary, terrifying stories regardless of truth and there's an atmosphere of hostility towards anyone questioning them. (Though this did lead to the confirmed fakes being the most successful, viral hate crime claims I saw post-election.)

[1] http://reason.com/blog/2016/11/11/election-night-hijab-attac... is a reasonable summary.
They abuse an old international mail agreement. When mail is sent between 2 countries, it might go through several countries and it becomes difficult to calculate costs and manage forwarders.

Since it was assumed that anyone who receives a letter would write back (mind you this was thought up way before online shopping in the 1860s) it would average out, so basically every nation in the world agreed to forward foreign mail for free, assuming it would average out. This only works for things that are send as mail and not as packages.

The way Google made us used to transform an email box as a storage and backup place is terrifying. Sending 2Mo attachments become a norm[1] and lots of people consider having their life stored there.

It just seem not sustainable. If you would do this with paper in the past, your place would just be full of junk. Our cloud life is an horrific stack of garbage. We just don't need most of the things we store, keeping everything as proof of evidences for a potential event that will surely never happen, as if we were all super important targets of an improbable crime scene.

I hate this ideology. Thinking about getting out of it is perfectly sane.

[1] Yes I know storage is cheap, but then forget about ecology and climate change control, I have no proof of this but can't believe that all the Google servers of the world don't have an impact, even if it seems quite clean
> I never understood how to use automatic transmission in snowy/icy conditions. ... it takes some practice

The second part of your statement I quoted above is how. Recovering is identical except for the declutching (instead, if it is a power generated skid the reaction should be to reduce power). But the true part of the recovery (be it with a manual or automatic tranny) is performing the correct wheel turn in the correct direction and amount to recover. And getting that down requires enough practice so that the reaction becomes muscle memory habitual. Once that is done, recovery in an automatic is just as trivial.

You'd be amazed how many people, who never had any training and have never practiced skid recovery, have the initial reaction of turning the wheel the wrong direction (hint: almost everyone who has not ever practiced the maneuver will do this) - which of course simply makes the skid worse.

The customer pays my employer for a solution and my employer pays me to create it but I get your point. I just didn't agree with the argument of the article in general - most of devs can't use a piece of shell script to solve a problem they would otherwise code. Simply because we work within the boundaries of a single product such as a large desktop application.

I don't solve my employers business problems, I solve the customers business problems an the only way to do it is to code it in the application.

Robot Launch 2016: Robohub Readers’ Pick Round Three
Yeah, it was too late...for me. Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

By "punishing people", I meant the whole "karma" thing. So, using downvotes to score comments is considered a form of thread moderation. Ok, that's one thing. However, also assigning a score to people based, in part, on whether others frequently agree with them really encourages group-think. There is at least some perceivable utility in downvoting comments, but what's the value of scoring whether people frequently agree with someone?

BTW, I'm not going meta here, as I think it's very relevant to this thread.

>there are others who think this isn't the best use of down votes.

Yeah, I am also one who believes that, even with comments, downvotes for disagreement have a similar--though perhaps lesser--effect of discouraging diversity of ideas. I guess the heart of it is that disagreement is considered a legitimate reason for downvoting, whether it's comments or karma that is impacted.

Upvotes plus the current flags for incivility/inappropriateness should be enough for moderation, and would remove the disincentive for the expression of diverse ideas.
At what battery percentage? Let alone, why? I want range, range, and more range. I could not give a damn about how fast I get to the next stop light or supercharger.

Here in Belgium the majority are the ones with a manual transmissions. The resell value of a car with an automatic shifter is also a lot less than the version with the manual shifter.

But the car market is also changing. We are (regarding cars) a diesel country but as the government want to promote (as they are less polluting) petrol and electric cars, the taxes are becoming a lot higher for those who want to drive with diesel.

If I'm not mistaken (not a car enthousiast) diesel cars with automatic shifters are rare. So when diesel is out, it may also change in this department.
My point was, how is anyone surprised by this?

Everyone always complains when politicians break their campaign promises once elected.

I don't see this as a new problem tbh. It's a function of human nature. We like to think that we are smarter and better than our primitive ancestors but the fact is that we are exactly as dumb or as smart as they were. Only thing that separates us is our knowledge. But we are just as prone to bias, intellectual weakness, selfish dishonesty and irrationality than our dumb ancestors. Most people are followers, we want to be in a group, we want to belong, we want to be led and above else we want to feel good about ourselves. People believe what they want to believe because that is safe, comfortable and easy. The psychology is the same as religion, minus the supernatural. This election showed as much. We are perfectly willing to disregard facts and reason if it suits our narrow benefits or correlates with what we think we know already. It takes great strength of character to put principles and reason above personal comfort and safety and frankly most people lack it. Add to this modern identity politics and you have a recipe for disaster.

Our lives are easy. We think that we are advanced but this can all turn to shit in no time because our base natures are still very much intact. Consider the Nazis and the power of group think and in group bias. Completely normal people can be made quite easily to do savage things. Even in this post WW2 world, the Stanford prison experiment showed as much. We really are fragile beings and we have to be vigilant, now more than ever, because we are under the mistaken belief that we today are somehow better, more evolved or new. When it comes down to it then we are nothing but animals, driven by our instincts and all the science, culture and philosophy flies out the window. I think the Jedi and the Sith are a great metaphor for this. We need self control and vigilance to not fall to the dark side, which is often tempting and the path of least resistance and no matter hour high you have risen, you can always fall.
