Disagree. It's likely that Nokia, like many manufacturers, used the minimum specs possible to get a certain experience level. It could be that WP7 required lower specs to get the same smoothness that Android could achieve. That wouldn't be hard to believe, as Android wasn't even focusing on feeling "smooth" until long after the Galaxy S2 had come out. Nokia isn't somehow incapable of sourcing competitive parts aside from Samsung's AMOLED.

I dislike the "Windows Phone or become a commodity Android OEM" argument because it holds no substance. First of all, if Nokia is successful at executing WP, then other manufacturers will license WP and Microsoft sure as hell won't let an OEM customize WP, so how does your argument hold weight? Nokia would only be able to compete in build quality, which it can do regardless of OS, so why not jump in with the popular, entrenched option?

As for differentiating as an Android OEM, if they had gone that route, that common argument always seems to ignore the fact that every single manufacturer has had no issue making their own skin. In fact, one popular OEM's schtick is that they provide a near-stock experience. Shit, if Nokia had done that coupled with their reputation for good build quality (something that aforementioned popular OEM lacks), then they would be doing better than most of the guys on the market now. At the very least, they'd be doing better than how they actually did.

I LOVED Nokia at the time, so I followed news of their phones closely. No one will ever be able to convince me that it was a good idea to pick a dead end OS (it was obvious even at that time) over a popular juggernaut, publicly destroying their current OSes before even implementing their dead OS properly, destroying the N9 which had pretty much only great reviews, and then undoing all of that in the span of a few years. I hated it when it happened and I hate it now.
No, most have underestimated the effect. A factory that used to have hundreds of workers and a few engineers and technicians, now has just a few engineers and technicians. That's effectively a decoupling of production from labor, however you want to look at it.

Automation of production has been explosive in the last few years. Companies that automate factories have a critical shortage of practical Engineers (no don't get excited; its one automation Engineer for every million people out of work). Automation Engineering requires a working knowledge of mechanical, electrical, chemical and information systems. My Niece flies all around the world installing and controlling automation, and her company cannot find qualified candidates to fill the demand.
Unintuitively, tail is the utility you want:

I can make a case for Bulgaria. The corporate tax is 10% and the insurance tax is about ~ 50 to 80 EUR/month (can't recall exactly). If you pay dividends it's an additional 5%.

Banking service is rather poor, although they tend to reply via email in 24h. Finding an accountant that does speaks/writes English properly and reply on a timely manner can be a challenge but it's not impossible, especially in Sofia. On the other hand, in other cities you could get an accountant for 1/10th of the cost.

The major benefit is that the legislation is stable which is a big plus. Requirements for opening bank accounts are pretty loose compare to most other European states, although account expenses are considerably higher to neighbour states - but still we're talking ~ 120 USD/year. Starting a business is easy and rather straight forward. Most official documents (like company statute) come in PDF with official (reckoned by the BG state) digital signature on them. As long as you pay your taxes, mail your invoices to your accountant, etc. You're good to go even if you live in Alaska.

That is an odd thing to say. Almost everyone at HMD are former Nokia employees.
I spent the majority of 2012 in hospitals with two family members fighting cancers. I had a lot of conversations with doctors/nurses and often enough MMJ was discussed. "Off the record", of course. The general consensus was CBDs have many apparent benefits, it was even posited they may inhibit malignant cell formations(further study required). The consensus also was that the THC race to get the most 'chronic' high from a strain is actually eroding the medicinal benefits of MMJ by sacrificing the THC:CBD balance for the greater psychoactive effects. This was a year or two before I saw the documentary on these guys who go the other direction for a non-psychoactive strain( more CBD,less THC).

HMD is made of ex-Nokia employees. If it's all the good ones, then there's a chance, however slim, that maybe the new phones will be good.
Unfortunately, it's the heart string-tugging anecdotes that make policies happen in the US, not data.
I understand why Wikileaks refuses to announce their sources, but I really wish they would in this case. I would love to see the shake-up if they were to show proof that the DNC leaks were provided by the late Seth Rich[1], for instance.

They are finding various correlations, such as Russian language settings, compile timestamps matching Russian work days, malware activity ceasing on Russian holidays...

As a software developer, I can say that this "feels" par for the course for software developed in large organizations. Software that does it's job but obvious things, such as not realizing the developers workstation's locale names are being added to the binary, is forgotten.

Note also that the accusations against Russia hacking the DNC aren't coming out of the blue. The same evidence was there already in July when the emails were published by WikiLeaks. It wasn't until after the election that pundits started to believe something other than Russia was behind the hack.
Heroin is not really a fair comparison. If you take away the pot, the kid won't get seriously ill from withdrawal symptoms. If you give too much pot, the kid won't forget to breathe and die. If it works for them, let them do what they think is best for their kid. The argument is basically there's an option that works for them, and causes little health complications. That it's "looked down on" means nothing. I'm sure talk therapy for mental illness was looked down on for quite a long time, and yet now it's a first line treatment with broad acceptance in popular culture.

The data that backs this story up has been replicated and published for a long time. This is one family's experience, a transformative one for every member of the family. It's written not to provide scientific evidence but to communicate to those people who may still oppose marijuana liberalization and who don't even care about the data, which is clear cut and unmistakeable at this point.

Calling this propaganda is the height of ridiculousness.
I think the massive costs of a mistake rule nuclear power our. There is no rational calculation to be made. We risk decimating the entire environment around the plant for hundreds of years with consequences that will stay with us hundreds of years. No price can be put on that kind of damage and we have zero right to ruin the earth in this way.

We need to find safer technology. God knows what the final consequences of Fukushima will be. I think nuclear power proponents have no case. I am not russian and have nothing to do with Russia but as a fellow human being those images of ordinary russians trying to deal with the crisis bring me to tears and I don't want any human being to be in that position or suffer in this grotesque way because of someone's overconfidence or mistake.
With regard to your first part of your first contention, that Russia hacked the DNC, read the Crowdstrike report[1]. That will contain the most technical indicators publicly revealed.

The second part, that Russia hacked John Podesta, is summarized mostly in these analyses.[2][3] Basically some actor used a single bitly account to create nearly 10,000 bitly links to sites that were obvious phishing domains for Google logins. Many of these links targeted people who only Russia would be interested in, for example, investigators of the MH17 shootdown, journalists and academics with a Russia focus, and organizations in the former Soviet states and Europe. Some of these domains were also linked to other campaigns known to be linked to APT28 or 29 (i.e., Russia).

Your second contention, that Russia provided exfiltrated data to Wikileaks, seems to rely mostly on classified intelligence. All the public evidence is circumstantial. Up to you to believe it or not.

They're describing the space in between the notes... so 4 equally spaced notes would have 3 gaps of 1:1:1 . It is indeed a bit confusing, as it says nothing about the duration of the last note, which to my ears would be an intrinsic part of the pattern.
You are the author? This is spectacular reading. Wonderful work, thank you. I have a question above about the transistor rendering in the second pic but I just now read your stackexchange link and have another question regarding this passage in the SE link:

"The first half of the chip's circuitry computes the four 1-bit sums of A with f(A,B). (Specifically it is creating the Generate and Propagate signals that are used for carry lookahead. This lets the 74181 work in parallel, rather than using a ripple carry.)."

Can you elaborate on "it is creating the Generate and Propagate signals.", I thought that the electrical pulse that drove combinatorial circuit was simply just the clock input on the chip. And that this was propagated to the whole chip instantaneously similar to a broadcast. Do I have this completely wrong?
Nokia made smart phones with browsers before iphone. It wasn't great, but they were on the smartphone thing from the start. Also I don't know how you can say iphone is more free than symbian. You could put what you wanted into your phone.
> its continually losing ground to science in every area and its methods are questionable at best

Philosophy is a very broad school and many areas do not lose out to science. While science helps answer such things as the free will debate, it cannot answer the question of morality or the debate over how to govern society correctly.

Often science can bring us closer to understanding the world but not provide an answer on how to act. The classic example is abortion. Science can tell us when the heartbeat starts, or brainwaves begin firing, or when we feel pain; but it cannot begin to answer whether it is ok to take a life before/after any of those biological points - that is where philosophy comes in.

I'd go as far as arguing that it is one of the most practical disciplines. It gave me answers on how to act rather than relying on pure feeling. Too many of us support the same political parties as our parents or having the same moral code as our peers, without questioning whether that is actually the ideal way to act. These philosophical arguments go to the heart of society, morality, politics and law.
I remember I wrote a paper in college about how Odysseus' crew being turned into pigs by Circe was a thinly veiled reference to cannibalism. It was probably the least bullshit English paper I've ever written[1], but my professor was so offended by it that she wouldn't even accept it and made me write another one.

My first car was a Chevy Corsica and I had a very similar problem, finally donated the car and got a different one. I wonder if my air filter was bad as well...
If this is true, I really have to wonder why there is no evidence of this. Gov't already had their chance to release evidence in their 25 page JAR report, but after reading it, I found 0 evidence of Russia being responsible for the DNC hack.
Yes, a key reason to read it would be so you don't have to think of it yourself.
I'd advice caution on giving any developing brain cannabis.

That's fair. While it's possible that changes as the child becomes a man will nullify the medicine, maybe this is a permanent fix. But it's clear that the parents are forced to overmedicate for fear that the child will act out when "coming down."

What rubs me the wrong way about this article is that it's written in such a way that any parent whose kid has a problem with tantrums might think, "hm, what if I just drugged up Johnny?"
That lack of technical details is pretty much all I need to hear. The whole thing smells of politics. The media have certainly been trying to conflate all of it in an attempt to make people think Trumps victory is invalid - and even worse, a plot by Putin.

Some Java:

public class Main {
public int addTwoNumbers(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}

Calling it from ABCL:

(defun void-function (param)
(let* ((class (jclass "Main"))
(intclass (jclass "int"))
(method (jmethod class "addTwoNumbers" intclass intclass))
(result (jcall method param 2 4)))
(format t "in void-function, result of calling addTwoNumbers(2, 4): ~a~%" result)))

Calling it from Clojure:

(defn f []
(prn "calling addTwoNumbers from f" (.addTwoNumbers (Main.) 2 4)))

Note that the Clojure version creates the object, and the ABCL version doesn't do that for you; you still need to instantiate a Main yourself.

At a minimum, it's a bad comparison metric. It's like with any software rewrite: the first 80% is the easy part. It's when you get down to the fine details of handling specific edge cases that things get really complicated. (Seeing this in a rewrite I've been working on myself.)

Semi-similarly, there's three reasons why React (and other libs) have that many issues: they've been around for a while, they're very popular, and the wide variety of usages has led to a number of edge cases being found. Svelte, being new, hasn't run into any of those things yet. Things like style of development can also affect things - some communities might file more issues than others.
I think you are creating a strawman. One does not have to approve of the CIA to think that they are correct. Indeed, if one believes the CIA and NSA are adept at collecting intelligence on the American people, it follows that they might also be good at collecting it on Russia. There does not have to be an "alliance" to agree on established facts.

Indeed, I would argue that your point that if one disproves of CIA tactics that everything the CIA says or asserts is now somehow in question is probably more "tribalistic" than viewing data and agreeing on facts. That smacks of conspiracy theory.

Whether or not this makes any of this true is another story, but tribalism is a bad response.
You know heroin is a bit more addicting than marijuana and argument is that you can feed 9-yo with it and in case his other issues are solved he can stop with eating cookies. It is more like you have choice. Where with heroin you are robbed of that choice. Taking heroine is artificial choice by changed chemistry of your body not your free will or your comfort.
Redux Side Effects in 12 to 16 Lines
The optimal block size is probably the the amount of data which can be transferred with one DMA operation.

For NVMe disks on Linux, you can find out this size with the nvme-cli [0] tool. Use "nvme id-ctrl" to find the Maximum Data Transfer Size (MDTS) in disk (LBA) blocks and "nvme id-ns" to find the LBA Data Size (LBADS). The value is then 2^MDTS * 2^LBADS byte.

For example, the Intel SSD 450 can transfer 32 blocks of 4096 byte per NVMe command, so you'd want a block size of 128 kiB.

> The point of the 2nd amendment was so the people would be more powerful than the government

Sorry to drag this off-tangent, but that statement is not even close to the reality of why the 2nd amendment was proposed or ratified and you should really stop saying it. It makes a nice post-hoc fairy tale for NRA types, but you desperately need to read some history of the colonial period...
Basically any language that has easy string interpolation and takes SQL via a string has this as a potential issue.

The implementations across languages are remarkably similar, I suppose due to the lineage of the original C apis from the various DB vendors.

I don't see any easy way to fix it. If it's possible, and easy to do, it will keep happening.

I know it is fashionable to label articles propaganda, but the term gets thrown around lightly.

propaganda: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

In what way is the article biased or misleading? It is clearly labeled 'Opinion'.

Not every article in a newspaper needs to meet the standards for an article in a peer-reviewed journal. There is a place for human-interest stories too.

1:1:1 is an isochronous (equal) rhythm. Most of the rhythms in the paper are played repeatedly, so the last note has the same duration.
At least a couple years ago, it was said one should not rip out USB sticks without ejecting them before, because their controller might do invisible maintenance work and that might lead to data corruption...
Yet none of that data is presented in the article. That it exists doesn't improve the journalism here.

> Do you also find things like art, literature and film pointless because they don't help you solve problems?

The point of philosophy is to discover answers to questions. Such as how does the mind work? Is there a mind? What is the right action in a given situation? How do we know we know something? etc. This is not even remotely related to the goals and reasons for art, literature, and film, which exist for aesthetic enjoyment. My point is that for answering most of the questions philosophy tries to answer the best method is the scientific method and its framework of approach.
‘Hope is a​n embrace of the unknown​’: Rebecca Solnit on living in dark times

I am so sick if this perpetual dark pattern being used by online services. The following has saved me tons of time: I have setup separate debit cards for my online subscriptions. When I want to cancel one, I go through their cancel process once, and then I cancel the debit card used for that subscription, get a new one from my credit union (same day service with a credit union) and update my other online subscriptions if that debit card was used with them. My credit union (First Entertainment, southern California) will issue me as many debit cards as I want, so I have bad-acting online services all on the same card, for easy canceling.
