Parallels put out an update that killed preexisting functionality relied on by many users without notice trying to get them to subscribe to the PRO edition.

They claim users should have known...

"We apologize for any inconvenience. On some Mac computers, several features of Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition were available for use by Standard Edition users. The issue was fixed in the latest update (12.1.0) and as a result, you may have lost this functionality. The difference in the amount of memory and vCPU quantity that can be assigned to a virtual machine in different Parallels Desktop for Mac editions is documented in the Parallels Desktop User's Guide (http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v12/docs/en_US/Paralle... Desktop User's Guide.pdf): page 100 and 127 respectively.​"

Page 100 and 127? Really? This limitation has not been put on any previous version Parallels and was not enforced on the current version until the most recent update. It was not on any front page comparisons of their products I have ever seen. Suddenly with the update it just doesn't work anymore. Parallel's doesn't seem to care one bit for its longtime faithful users. Sad!

I wouldn't actually call Mbox a standard. Thunderbird supports it, but I'd argue it sucks as a way to escape Gmail, because no competitor to Gmail supports it as an import method. In fact, even Gmail itself can't import from Mbox. It may be a standard in that it's defined somewhere officially, but it's not really a standard in the definition that it's commonly used.

As someone who has nearly completed their GExit, I'd say I found Takeout to be borderline useless as an export strategy.

The irony is that this is published in Nature, which undoubtedly is a huge contributor to questionable research practices by publishing spectacular findings and ignoring negative results and replications.
Well, one might notice "everybody" has to be a rhetoric exaggeration, since there's absolutely no way even remotely close to "everybody" would have any codebase at all whatsoever, not to talk about 20 year old legacy. Right?

Second, I was responding to a comment talking about "existing, critical, real time applications". Of which a huge number of cases do have existing, very old legacy codebases.

Third, I fail to see what you tried to bring to the conversation. If your only problem was with my rhetoric, see above.
The few times I have gone biking in NYC with CitiBike I decided to forgo a helmet with the mindset that my exposure was limited to only a few hours. When I finally bought a bike I bought a helmet.

I think a vending machine selling these paper helmets next to bike share kiosks would probably be the best bet but I still wonder if I would have bought one due to the unattractive design.

If they could create an ultra cheap paper helmet that looked a little cooler I think that would be easier for the general public to adopt?
Well, I think this just got news because Trump was/is news during all the campaign.

From the article you can find that many of his fake-news went viral in the past, and probably will keep going in the future. Probably in a more deep research you'll find that many other "mediable" people (or their staff) picked fake news once in a while. Now, it's just interesting to talk about Trump, no matter if you were in favor, against or even is tired of hearing about him.
Yup.

This is one of those things that 99% of customers will not notice. Some small percentage may prefer the closely-packed box over the bag but not be able to articular why.

And some very small percentage will see it, recognize the difficulty in continuously doing something like this over the "throw it in a bag and ship the bag" approach, and think it's amazing. Those are the fans that will repost your stuff, talk about you to others, etc.

This type of stuff is what creates the "1" in the 90-9-1 split.
No. But my embedded projects weren't particularly impressive. I can at least see the need now.
I haven't personally used it, but it seemed as if Seattle had some sort of helmet rental associated with bike share when I was there recently.

Interestingly Thai Airways served some kind of chicken curry burrito for the recent flight I took from Bangkok to Northern Thailand, which was only an hour flight. I was surprised--it wasn't a full meal but way more than the stereotypical peanuts.

Also I'd like to note that all these meals were included (or free in a way) which probably makes them taste much better.

And on that, a friend of mine recently flew on American Airlines from London to New York and had to buy a meal, which I thought was strange

Hi, Manuel from ondevice.io here.
I've been working on this side project for a couple of months now and finally want to bring it to a larger audience :)

The main idea is to have an easy way to SSH into your devices from anywhere, without the headaches of NAT traversal. Since it simply tunnels SSH, traffic is encrypted and SSH authenticated. On top of that, there's an additional 'service-side' authentication layer (so only you can access your devices).
And you can do port forwarding, rsync and all the other fun stuff SSH provides.

The traffic is tunneled using websockets over HTTPS. The server side is protocol agnostic though and there are plans to add other stuff (VNC, HTTP, ...).
The client is written in Python and hosted on github [1]

I'll stick around here for a while and try to answer your questions.

It could be read either way - it doesn't talk too much about differences between metrics, and groups them as near-equivalent. Anyway the exact intention of the author/article is not so important. My point is to say that one way that you could (and I'm sure some will) interpret it, is not good.

Certainly we need to look at our social reward/incentive systems from an adversarial point of view, in science, economics, politics and elsewhere. Game theory is useful for that, and it can help us develop systems that are less-easily susceptible to the flaws that the article mentions.
I've not owned a stick in like 10 years. Everyone around me drives SUVs or hybrids or big sedans - I assume those aren't even available with manual transmission.

One thing I do miss about the stick is that at stop signs I always did come to a full stop in order to shift into first gear.
This is the kind of thing that Democrats should have been talking about during the election. Republicans are for the most part anti-consumer but they do a good job of framing it as good for business. But everyone has a story of Comcast ripping them off, Democrats should talk more about how good for business really means bad for you.
I genuinely don't think Apple wants to target developers, and I don't think they ever have. WWDC Is a great example - they could easily fit every interested developer in the expanse that is all of Moscone, if not going to larger venues altogether, but instead they limit. Part of this is because of the interest from consumers in Apple and the absence of a consumer show like MacWorld, but if Apple really cared about developers, they wouldn't make us enter a lottery to attend a conference for us. Apple is a publicly traded company, and their first responsibility is to shareholders, not developers - or any other field where the term "Pro" could apply, like artists, or musicians, or videographers, or photographers.
Thank you for the links, I'll have a look over the weekend.
> It wasn't me who said hoax.

My mistake. You defended that claim by saying it doesn't carry its own burden of proof.

There can be different claims carrying their own burden of proof without taking away the other side's burden. I think it's reasonable to ask for evidence for incidences, while acknowledging that presenting evidence may often not be viable. At the same time I think it's reasonable to ask for evidence for the claim the reports are "a hoax." This is not the same as disproving God. You can actually go through the list of incidences and try to do research about every single one of them, although you won't necessarily come to a conclusive answer. (FWIW, you'd likely see that some of the reports actually come with credible evidence, pretty much already falsifying the blanket claim that they're a hoax.)

Indeed you don't, but there's a lot the state can do to encourage and facilitate children being reared in stable families which can prepare them for an adult life which is a net benefit to their society.

Your cynical argument has value as well. The trouble is that the only even temporarily stable state thus produced is a single-party state, and you can't really kick everyone off the dole once you've finished using it to get where you want to go. It's an ongoing cost whose magnitude is only ever likely to grow over time, and the probable economic result is frightening.

Agreed. Employees are investors. They invest their time and future technical direction. Making sure those investors get an acceptable return on their investment is just good business. Encouraging side projects, mentoring, and growth is a way to improve the returns on the investment employees make in their employers and their customers.

My most recent car purchase was a manual transmission Subaru Impreza. Technically, it is the bottom end car that Subaru sell in the USA.

I had to get on a wait list and put a deposit on it because of how few were available.

I suspect there is higher demand for manual transmission cars in the USA but the distribution costs of them make it just simpler to not drive one.

I've had discussions with psychologists and trans people.

This illustrates the disconnect we're seeing between the left and the public.

Trans people are a vanishingly small proportion of the population, compared to the people who have lost jobs when their manufacturing jobs moved overseas.

Worrying about their desires (a tiny percentage of the population) and de-prioritizing the desires of a far larger group of people is insulting to the people who have lost jobs and can't find new ones. Talk about skewed priorities.

Also, if you thought you were Napoleon or black (and happened not to be black), you'd be roundly laughed at and diagnosed with a mental illness, and sent to therapy, resources permitting. Similarly, you can argue that Trans people have a mental illness - they think they're something they're not. It's just that the therapy to disabuse them of the notion is more trouble than it's worth.

Before we can put it on the market EcoHelmet has to pass the tests necessary to be CPSC certified-- just like every other bike helmet.

Yes, it is a Google search. That is a stellar observation. Using a search engine would have been less characters than asking me. For example, you could click:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Venezuela#2000...

and read up this from Amnesty https://web.archive.org/web/20070922230635/http://web.amnest... :

> The security forces have reportedly used excessive force, and detained large
numbers of opposition supporters, during nationwide street protests against the
government of President Hugo Chavez. At least nine people have died and scores
of others have been injured, including a number of police officers. Amnesty
International is concerned that there may be further politically motivated
violence, and disproportionate police response.

or http://www.weeklystandard.com/horror-in-venezuela/article/34... (I haven't heard of Weekly Standard before though)

> At the hospital he was detained by the DISIP, Chavez's secret police, and taken to their headquarters for questioning.

> During his interrogation, fingernails in his left hand were torn out. After being further tortured and injected with drugs, the secret police took him into the bowels of the building and placed him in a cell.

Or this from the BBC (I have heard of these):

> Venezuela troops 'used torture'

> Troops are accused of beating and kicking detainees
Venezuelan ombudsman German Mundarain has said security forces tortured some protesters who were detained during recent anti-government demonstrations.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3571383.stm

Are you seriously claiming Chavez isn't a well known human rights abuser or are you debating what constitututes 'most' or 'an opponent' like whether that changes my point that Chavez used violence just as Mao and Pol Pot did and that most normal humans think that's a bad thing?
I guess this comment is what people said "normalizing hate speech" is all about. The "alt" right isn't a subculture sharing unpopular information against the status quo, this is a group of people spreading hate speech against other, vulnerable groups.

The show was about Trump, and only about Trump. Why would they bring up anyone else?

And stating that Trump made those statements is true, saying that others also make idiotic statements does not change that.
Just take a look at some of the replies in this thread and you can see that for a lot of people, it's an ego thing. "You can't drive properly on dirt roads with an automatic". "You can't drive in the snow with an automatic." "You can't adjust weight distribution with an automatic."

8 year (96 month) car loans are becoming a "thing" in America. Sure, a car that's cost more than your yearly salary looks "affordable" if you only look at the monthly payments and you can manipulate those payments by stretching out the loan forever. I believe 30 year mortgages being "standard" are also kinda a scam[1] for this reason.

Basically the idea everyone having many monthly payments is acceptable.

When I bought my car I did finance it but on my own payment schedule because apparently the dealer didn't offer 12 month financing.

[1] I'm using "scam" broadly I don't think it's a real scam in the literal sense of the word but I can't think of another word. Misleading?
I'm sorry, but I can't keep a straight face hearing the phrase "portable systemd."

I don't care what init system you run, but if you're writing userland software (GNOME, for one), than what init system I run is none of your damn business. For that matter, ideally you'd at least try to support the *BSDs.

As much as Systemd is the borg, I could at least live with that. I cannot live with the fact that systemd maintainers continue to say that having high-level userland software link to libsystemd is viable and acceptable. I cannot live with the fact that systemd continues to violate widely-accepted defaults for no reason (kill all processes on logout? really?). I cannot live with the fact that Lennart has widely stated that you should ignore POSIX and that all systems other than Linux don't matter.
