Good question. My use case is pretty boring comparatively. Mostly it's typical shell session stuff - SSH, vim, etc. I would classify that as my 'actual work'. And macOS is fine for that of course, except mostly I end up working/testing code on Linux because that's where it will ship.

I'm sure I would feel differently if I was using my Mac for Xcode development or video editing or something totally different and specialized - but I'm not. So for me its kind of just a really beautiful shell interface and web browser.
Not trying to be confrontational, but I have to say... I don't buy that story at all.

Automatic transmissions back then didn't even have lock-up torque converters. You could always stop the car unless the throttle got stuck. The transmission can't suddently send the car screaming forward if the person isn't on the throttle.

On another note, the main automatic transmissions of those days were probably the TH350 and TH400, which actually stands for "turbo hydramatic". That's probably where the name came from.
There's an important difference between the members of the party and its members of parliament.

Seems like this would produce some naturally bad incentives.
My guess is you would see both sides work the system in concert in a way that protects the 'core' members of both. If there are incentives to 'bust' members of the other team, they could always just hire patsies specifically to be groomed and sacrificed as an exchange with the other side.

The alternative is two sides fighting a war of escalation which would likely encourage scary corrupt behavior. "Those guys busted Johnny for some minor offense, so lets go get some dirt on one of their guys, or plant it. Can't let them think they can just mess with us"

This is going by the current us vs them mentality of the police forces.

That isn't the point. This exploits the host, which holds plaintext data in memory.
Think of it as a recruiters database. Works pretty well that way. Need a new job? Just message everyone.

Alternatively, another employee tipped off the WSJ (Instead of, or in addition to a regulator,) and the WSJ started contacting current, and former employees, to see if their story had any legs.
Pretty really isn't the problem and hasn't been for a very long time. You can make Linux IMHO prettier than a Mac or Windows pretty easily.

The problem is having to tinker. Tinkering is fine if you've got the time and enjoy it, but if you just need your computer to always "just work" this is a problem. Both Linux and Windows strike out for me here. I use a Mac because I almost never have to mess with it... I mean sometimes a year can go by between times when I have to actually mess with my machine. Nothing else does that.
It's not that simple, since everybody has had lockup torque converters (based on a computer-controlled clutch) for a long time now. As long as the TC is locked up, you have full engine braking. As you slow, it eventually drops out of lockup, you see the rpm drop to idle or close to it, and you feel the engine braking diminish (though you do still have a small amount, as the the transmission does have pumping and drag losses).
Google is not a private company...
I didn't make any judgement on whether it is a good or bad thing. The fact remains: don't delude yourself into thinking that adding a TLD free-for-all opens up the space. It doesn't. It closes it.

The current "problem" stems from the fact that .coms are full. Once the TLD space is full, the same problem will remain. Everyone who wants one cannot have a memorable name in a flat namespace. There are too many people and there is too little room.
I think Keybase is making a mistake in choosing Zcash over Monero - especially so soon after Zcash's launch. But that's okay - they'll come around soon enough. Zcash has been fantastic advertising for Monero.
Sounds useful. How large is your "large user base"? What is the cost?
Anonymity of the system as a hole is the value. Just like with Telegram and the concept of a secret chat, you should not only use anonymity if you particularly need it. Anonymity and Security should be the default and you should optionally to be able to not have it.

Maybe even if I don't need the anonymity now, maybe in 10 years I will, and then I don't want to start using them because that change provides information.
Is there strong backing for this from communities?

I also was going to make a similar post. Theology was the mother of all learning and Churches were the center point of science. This is why the Church produced so many philosophers and scientist.

THIS IS WRONG and a Myth that Galileo was persecuted by the church.

> After all, the Church rather infamously persecuted Galileo in the 17th century for suggesting that the Earth is not, in fact, at the center of the cosmos, and that, by extension, Church doctrine relating to God’s orderly plans for the world were inherently flawed.

Decent quick read on Galileo myth that the church was fighting science.

It had a lot more to do with competing scientific claims and more specifically the attack of Aristotle.

I've tried to force myself to use paddle shifters but I just hate it. It's not remotely enjoyable, and you just ask why you're pushing plastic buttons when the car could just shift itself. Even after forcing myself to do every shift with the paddles or a day or two, I get bored and go back to automatic mode.

.. and then you still don't get the enjoyment of driving a manual, and you STILL have that thing where 10% of the time the car is in the wrong gear.

I'd rather just be "forced" to drive a manual that is zero disadvantage to me (yes, even in traffic) and guarantees I am always in the gear I want to be.
> Because of security, browsers are a huge vector of attack.

That's not a valid reason. With per-app sandboxing. At worst a non-Apple native browser that escape the confines of the web page and be subject to app security.

That amounts to using "security" as an argument for not being allowed to do something with the reason as, "Because we're smart and you're not".
Science hasn't existed forever, and Foucault already smashed to bits of any sort of "evolution with direction" account of science in The Order of Things.

The most disturbing thing appears to be that many folks aren't aware of Foucault's work.
Political opposition and dissent.
... which reminds me of another favorite place in Rome, Campo di Fiori, wherein stands the statue of Giordano Bruno, who was indeed burned at the stake by the Roman Inquisition.

The statue faces the Vatican, which is apparently not an accident.
As throwaway says, lumping in Airbnb with Luddism is unjustified. The criticism there is they're facilitating the illegal conversion of quiet buildings and neighborhoods into loud tourist party zones stocked with transient randos that haven't been onboarded to the local rules ("hey, don't leave your stuff in the halls").

Acid test: would cities leave Airbnb alone if they were getting all these guests through conventional travel agents? Would they protest this as hard if it were used to get rooms in neighborhoods/buildings zoned for it? Do they equally object to apps that streamline the reporting of antagonistic neighbors, like those who abuse Airbnb?

That doesn't make their criticisms justified (though here I think they are), but it does mean it's not part of anti-technology backlash.
Newer cars (even manual ones) have hill assist which avoids your car rolling back on the hill.
VW and BMW are still pretty good about offering manual options in the US.
An unusual use of a manual transmission (in a motorcycle) is Brammo's Empulse R, which is fully electric, but has a 6 speed manual transmission just to give it a classic ICE motorcycle manual-shifting experience, and to give it a tiny bit more acceleration from a dead stop.

This review comparing it to Zero's single-speed electric motorcycle seems to suggest it's mostly not worth the added complexity:

EDIT: apparenly Brammo sold their motorycle business to Victory:

So far in this thread multiple people have brought up that the numbers reported by the car manufacturers themselves, for current model year cars, across a bunch of manufacturers, show that automatic transmission cars are more fuel efficient than manuals.

I see two explanations for this:

1) They're all lying

2) Technological progress has finally caught up to a system that is bounded by human skill and hand-foot-coordination.

(I'm betting on technology, are you betting on the human?)

This side of the business is actually pretty straightforward to learn and be guided by your PCB assembly house and design software. Ask the PCB fab for the stackup, punch 90 ohms into the calculator, and get a number in mils for the PCB software.

And the dirty secret is that for short runs, testbeds and hacking tools you can often cheat on the controlled impedance a bit to produce abominations like USB-over-FFC and three-ended ethernet cables.

Now, hot air rework, that's a serious manual skill that I respect.

(I suppose the difference versus learning software development work is that failures are expensive...)

But who thinks of LI as general purpose social media? I don't think anybody uses LI except in the strict context of finding new jobs, and making sure you can find new jobs in the future.

I don't get the criticism. It's like blaming the screwdriver for not being able to hammer in a nail.

It's a jobs site. And for that purpose it's pretty good. End of story.

If we can't fight them in the courts then we fight them where we are comfortable. Now more than ever we need to start outpacing the law using technology. We've done this before and we can do it again. Bits move faster than bureaucracy :)
As a contractor outside of EU/USA I stuggle a lot to handle those regulations for PII(personal identify information). We have no rights to transfer even a single bit of PII out of EU/USA networks.

So I just don't understand, why it's such a news after all.
I'm pro self-driving cars.

But you have to admit, there's going to be riots in the streets when it's no longer economical to pay a human to drive a trunk/taxi.

Look at the protest people have over Uber, and they're not even destroying jobs, they're just moving them from one place to another. And already you can see that non-trivial parts of society can't handle that.

There's going to be protests, poverty and chaos, and eventually the market will redistribute the workforce but short of a major welfare program like 'basic income' I don't think we can have any illusion of this being a soft transition.
Then you'd better do something because pretty soon you won't have the option to leave for a more enlightened jurisdiction.

OK but saying you're going to kill the president is just exacerbating the problem. I'm fine with people saying this behavior is unacceptable from a CEO. If you want to say things like this, use an anonymous trolling account.
its all misuse of language. a spade should be called spade. Here is a situation, the people staying in their own country and fighting against outside forces. Who is real terrorist? Those outside forces that have no business being there in the first place are the ones doing real terrorizing. The war on terrorism is just a double speak. Its war for profits for political and monetary gains.

If as much as 10% of the energy and money spent for all this nonsense was actually used to fight poverty and improve infrastructure and research, we would've been technologically advanced to year 2100 already!

History is almost always more complicated than people's narratives.

Narratives are a model. Some are more accurate than others, but ultimately all of them are just models which simplify history (sometimes in verifiably false ways).
There is nothing preventing cars with manual clutches from doing that. People going down hills with manual transmission also keep the car in gear (they teach you that). And it doesn't matter as it is not much fuel compared to the fuel used when accelerating, where automatic transmissions are less efficient.

If that is the only reason for automatic transmission to be more efficient, then i doubt it is.
I ported Klaus' library to Haskell, and redid the whole SIMD implementation (see below for the extras this brings): https://github.com/NicolasT/reedsolomon/

In my library, the SSSE3 code also has AVX and AVX2 equivalents, providing higher throughput. There are also implementations with specific optimized instructions for ARM NEON, ARM64, PPC64/AltiVec and Power8. All of this in C (with intrinsics), not ASM, so making use of your C compiler's instruction scheduling, loop unrolling,... See https://github.com/NicolasT/reedsolomon/blob/master/cbits/re...
the only way I have had any success is to describe the problem in terms of "wrong place wrong time" + "misinterpreted evidence" scenarios. this is something I wrote up a while back to try to explain it to a family member:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine a crime takes place in a certain area. Using surveillance technology, police identify everyone who was in the area around the time of the crime. They do this through license plate recognition, face recognition, cell phone tracking, and credit card receipts. You happen to be on that list because you were shopping at a nearby store earlier.

You're now technically a suspect in a crime, although there's a thousand other suspects, and you have nothing to hide, so no big deal, right?

A witness saw the perpetrator running away from the crime. They only saw them from the back, but report that the suspect is a tall white male around 40 years of age.

So police narrow down that list to just people who fit this description. Uh oh, the list is now only about 50 people, and you're one of them.

The crime appears to be a potential race-motivated hate crime. Using web profiling, investigators search for those 50 people to look for any history of involvement with hate groups. The algorithm they use has over-zealously classified certain extreme right wing news sources as potential markers for hate crime.

You're not particularly worried, I mean, you're obviously not some crazy racist. There's no way they'd be interested in you.

But you forgot - six months ago, you started to get interested in the immigration debate, and posted on several anti-immigration forums.

With the additional profiling, the list narrows down to 8 suspects, including you. You happen to fit other markers for this kind of crime as well - you live alone, work a less prestigious job, neighbors say you don't go out much.

Now you're a suspect in a crime. You'll almost certainly not be convicted, because there's no direct evidence. But good luck explaining that to your employer, your family, your friends, and the criminal defense lawyer you now have to pay for.

Still think you have nothing to hide?
It's not a question of backups. Even with no data loss, the cost of most people being shut out of their Google account is absurdly high. Missed texts. Missed calls. Missed emails. Can't log into third party sites.

If Google wants to have a monopoly on all of that stuff, they need to be subject to regulation that compartmentalizes their services and what they can and can't do arbitrarily.
Lol.. you should see hotjar
The freedom of using a variety of desktop environments, and the ability to customise them down to the source code, is what got me interested in Linux in the first place.

Back in 2003, I was experimenting with Rainmeter and a port of Blackbox for Windows, but became quickly frustrated about their limitations. I spent an embarassing amount of time trying out the different window managers, before settling on KDE 3.

There's a downside, however: fragmentation.
I would use the most low tech thing imaginable. Structurally your "Diary" folder might contain a series of timestamped folders, one for each entry. The time stamp you'd want to use is YYYYMMDDHHMMss, for easy sorting. Inside each of those folders I'd write the diary entry as a plain .txt file and you could include the digital artifacts ( .jpg ) in the folder as well, or create sub folders "images", "audio", etc. Using this as your "system of record", it is easy to create a recursive zip file of all the entries, and this zip file is easy to encrypt and sync around ( email, Dropbox, Google Drive, USB sticks ). If you ever need to compare or merge you can use a tool like Beyond Compare which makes it a snap to recursively examine/compare two folder structures.
Why would they oppose it? It was their idea in the first place. Putting the entire population under constant electronic surveillance may be the one thing they agree with Tories about.

So, torque is defined as Tau = P / omega where P is power, omega is angular velocity and Tau is torque. In an ICE, P varies a lot with rpm (i.e. angular velocity) giving a sort of inverse-bathtub curve whereas in an electric motor the power curve is pretty much flat. In an ICE at startup (so essentially zero plus epsilon rpm or angular velocity) the power is quite low, so torque is also low. In the electric motor the power output will be essentially whatever it is rated at, so the torque will be highest at this point, getting lower as rpm (angular velocity) increases.

For a much better explanation than I can provide, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_band#Electric_Motors

Some big words mixed in there, but if you try your hand at this I think you'd find that making impedance-controlled differential traces on a PCB isn't much of a trick at all. It's a difficult engineering challenge if you intend to mass produce, but it's not a challenge if you intend to make 10 boards and you aren't cost sensitive and you don't care if 9 boards don't work.

In 2011 I paid for and registered o1.io (I really wanted 01.io, but back then it was not available to register domains containing only numbers on .io).

The .io NIC web interface is really horrible and I ended up in an inconsistent state after making the "horrible" mistake of clicking the back button. Even though my Paypal account got charged, I received an email confirming I was the owner of the domain, and so on, I couldn't access my account.

Next step I took was contacting them. I got ignored and after 7 days later they made a transaction reversal on Paypal and I never heard a word back from them, even though I have tried to contact.

Some time later they made the o1.io domain a reserved one and so if I wanted it now I would have to pay thousands. What a shame.
Are they willing to oppose?

Looking at it from the continent, it seems to me that Corbyn is entirely happy with getting out of EU, and is only "opposed" because he's supposed to be "in opposition".

This is a huge step forward as I assume those trackers they're talking about include all ads by definition (anyone know of any ads that don't track?). If that is indeed the case, this seems to be the first browser from a major vendor to include ad blocking by default (AFAIK). That is huge news. We are looking at the future of browsers here with regards to such protection and likely a changing of the guard as Chrome falls out of favor due to Google's pro-ad (and therefore pro-malware/anti-privacy) stance ... albeit I'm sure someone will fork Chromium and add such features in at some point. This seems to be a good first step for Mozilla / Firefox in this direction and I truly hope that they continue this trend for all their other products. I'm pretty sure there is no need to explain why having this as the default (as opposed to plugins that have been available for well over a decade) is a huge deal.
