OK, so if by the time the signal exits my property it has dropped below mandated limits, there is no harm done right?

If I aim my antenna such that I contain the illegal power region within my property, will there be an unintended consequence?

To be clear, I'm referring to a house not an apartment so I don't have any concerns about upstairs or downstairs neighbours.
I think in 2016 there were a handful of occasions when I thought "shit what's the time" and didn't have my phone out or wasn't sat in front of the computer etc. It's not about "an expensive watch is a good watch" but "do I actually want to wear a sodding watch?"

> crack cocaine is more psychologically addicting than powder cocaine, and is thus more likely to result in chronic and heavy use

What the heck is this nonsense ? crack is more addictive because it takes a shorter route to the brain. the shorter the route the more addictive it is. And that's on the premises that a substance can be addictive and not a matter of lifestyle and lack of a fulfilling life. (See rat park and Bruce Alexander).
There are people like me thought, that are watch enthusiasts, and watch collectors.

Also I appreciate mechanical automatic over quartz movement, and I also love hacking the winding etc.

Also don't forget obviously if you have a mobile phone that can connect to the internet you'll always have the time right no matter what.

Watches nowadays are some kind of a prestige thing really, its like women handbags.

I mean, I don't know what he expected...

Part of me wonders if WikiLeaks is the modern-day Blighty wound: want to leave, can't leave for X months, make something up, get discharged for discrediting public image.
> Ruby doesn't have a per project equivalent to Virtualenv that I'm aware of.

The nearest equivalent is to place a file called '.ruby-version' in the top level directory, containing the version number of the Ruby you want to use. Version numbers come from https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/tree/master/share/ruby-b.... rbenv, chruby and rvm all support .ruby-version.

One difference from virtualenv is that the Ruby version managers share single installations of each version of Ruby. My understanding from occasional use of Virtualenv is that it copies the python installation into a new per-project subdirectory, which seems a bit wasteful to me.

> You can set the path config variable of Bundler to not place the project Gems in a central location which I think is cleaner and try to remember to always do now.

Yes, this is what I do. It gives me a shared 'clean' Ruby installation of the right version, plus a project-specific copy of all the gems the project depends on. To me this provides the best trade off between project isolation and not duplicating the whole world. You can set bundler up so this is done automatically by creating '~/.bundle/config' containing

BUNDLE_PATH: "vendor/bundle"
BUNDLE_BIN: ".bundle/bin"

(The BUNDLE_PATH one is the important one; see 'bundle config --help' for other options.)

I understand that some technology is kept secret for competitive reasons, but it seems to me that what is shown here (composition of batteries) could also be found out by simply opening one, of course assuming a somewhat expert is doing it. Or is there something preventing this?

On the other hand, revealing causes of failure seems much more specific and valueable, so there's that.
I don't disagree with US not having freedom, but I don't think the nordic countries should be up there either.

For example, you can't publish news in Sweden/Finland/Germany that can be interpreted as anti-feminist or has an anti-refugees sentiment.

This soft pressure is hard to quantify because as a journalist you would lose your job and be accused of various things if you attempted to publish something like that.

> Physical tells are almost entirely Hollywood nonsense

That's true for most any level of serious player, but I see it often in casual games in peoples kitchens with casual players who don't play often or are just starting. Even I can't control myself sometimes when the adrenaline starts pumping. I'd rather say lack of self control is just one of the most amateur things you can do in poker, and what's nonsense is the idea that it's a meaningful aspect of any kind of serious poker game.

You're right. But it's worth considering that most people don't know or care what an IMEI is, and even less so would they understand the consequences of sharing it with an app.

Most users will probably indeed grant the permission when asked, but the choice is there, rather than requiring ALL manifest permissions to install and run the app, so it's a lesser of two evils, imo.
I think FCC laws technically apply within your property as well. Hypothetically, what happens if your non-compliant device blocks a visitor on your property from calling 911?
It's like an executive team discussing whether to adopt a mobile-first strategy and then someone blurts 'but Galaxy 7 phones caught fire!'.

It's more like an executive team discussing whether or not to equip the entire company with Galaxy Note 7 phones, and the CEO not mentioning the fires.
In reality C++ tooling is vastly better on any Unix, and it's 100% free in both senses of the word.

Depends on what you mean with tooling I guess. CLang on windows is fine these days, so is msys. So, with possibly some quirks, that unix tooling runs on windows as well so it cannot be vastly worse tooling if it's the same.

Still, talking IDEs and visual debugging which you might or might not consider a part of tooling, unfortunately VS still runs circles around the free competition. So much that I'm betting teams are willing to give up some standard compliance in favour of using it.
I never knew of `cd -` before -- very useful!
It doesn't have to be a 100% solution at first. The CO2 problem is cumulative. Every ton of coal left unburned is helpful. The earlier those nukes, windmills or solar panels go up, the more coal they displace.

I'm surprised the author allowed Brian to run his BS as long as he did. Although B is clearly in the wrong here I'd suggest the author should take a look at his/her willingness to play along as far as it went. Maybe some self-esteem problems?

Good read overall though. Makes me feel better about my own efforts to learn and improve. Maybe I should seek out a mentor as my approach to learning is 180° from Brian's.

The balls on that guy though! Did he really think he could pull it off? It's clear sometimes I have an empathy deficit. Wow.
Far less reluctant. Product placement, is so obvious anyway, but the alternative is some fictional name/logo. It doesn't detract from my experience, so I'm okay with it (for now).
Enjoy your nice experience of the Canadian border people, just don't get on their list of any kind 'cause if you do you will now have a similar experience of search in your email history and threatened if you refuse to decrypt what's encrypted. Though I do agree the Canadian border is professionals and the risk of brutality, abuse and incarceration is close to none.
Nokia's banana phone and Matrix comes to mind. I assume it was a product placement or they just picked what at the time was a good looking phone, though it seems odd now.
To be fair, that doesn't necessarily mean that the US is statistically racist, whatever that means. Societal racism in the past, immigration, etc can lead to a situation where a particular race will still be behind generations later in terms of wealth. It takes money to make money.

I think you're right that there's still societal racism in America but just looking at wealth doesn't account for immigration or past racism.
As Hollywood discovered in the 30's and 40's, controlling both production and distribution simultaneously can be very profitable. However, they also discovered that anti-trust lawsuits suck[1]. Refuse to show your competitors' movies in your theaters and millions of voting consumers begin to grumble.

Netflix's execs have some serious cajones to go where Hollywood went almost a century ago. They're going to need to be very careful in order to avoid government interference. Showing even a hint of favoritism towards their own content could land them in heaps of trouble. Maybe online distribution will be viewed differently than cinemas were, or maybe it won't.

Seconded with the "well thought out PR" part. The piece was worded well, all fault points away from Samsung.
Hmm, I know iOS allowed that as well for a long while (basically free-for-all access to the pasteboard). Was that fixed in later iOS versions?
>To put it succinctly: most of the Internet exists due to advertising - which is - most of the time, misinformation and/or lies.

Add to that social platforms like Facebook -- which make it easy to have few or none interactions outside your echo chamber of friends (and "unfollow" everybody that you disagree with).

Those platforms' news feeds also want to keep you happy, so they show you the stuff you like to see (more stuff you agree with rather than less). They also want to keep you entertained, so more addictive and ever increasing stimulating titles and news, rather than more accurate ones.

There's also the faulty idea that "revolution" or "awareness" will start with such misinformed people connecting through Twitter or similar (like the "Arab Spring" which ended just as a springboard for fundamentalists on one side, and western infatuated, unrepresentative of local sentiments, upper-middle/upper class people on the other -- the latter usually celebrated as bloggers "telling it from the ground" abroad).

Unless people get a chance to discuss, read about and understand the issues in their society as they affect people from all walks of life, and especially the larger majority, the "social" aspect and "instant" communication don't help them, if it doesn't actively distract them.

The Amazing Ways Big Data and Predictive Analytics Can Reduce Traffic Casualties
I think my hope is that HBO sticks with the TV "style" - weekly episodes that drop at specific times - while Netflix keeps going with their "new bag of tricks" (binge!).

Diversity is really good, and both of these methods bring something special to the table.

Specifically - You're spot on with Netflix's limited audience appeal per show, and making the work. What HBO really brings to the table is a show that EVERYONE talks about - and by releasing it on a TV-style schedule, we all have time to talk about it. GoT was as much about all the hubub (re: watching twitter when readers knew Red Wedding was coming, and viewers didn't...) as the show itself.

As much as I love Netflix shows, you don't "bond at the watercooler" over them nearly as much, since you have to worry about where someone is in the plot progression, and by the time we've both seen it, the moment has passed. I tell people to go watch Netflix shows, but I talk with people about HBO.

How do you do these tasks with GCC 6?

- graphical debugging of parallel tasks and threads

- displaying data structures graphically with code navigation

- WYSIWYG UIs with tooling like Blend

- GPU debugging

- Code navigation across object files, shared libraries and source code

- Incremental compilation and linking with intermediate representations stored in a database.

- Out of the box representation for all STL data structures and user defined types

Tooling is much more than just a plain old compiler.

True. Last year the number of non-US subscribers overtook the number of US subscribers of Netflix. They are now starting to invest in non-English content as well. Should be interesting, as long as they keep offering their own content globally.

Netflix still suffers from a fragmented back catalogue though, where non-Netflix Original content can only be viewed in certain geographic regions.
Ouch, that sounds like something that should have a permission. Permission for background or programmatic access, none needed to receive pastes initiated by user seems reasonable IMHO.
The thing is that those "20 other channels no one wants" typically cost them nothing or a minimal amount.

It is true that, if you start slicing out ESPN, A&E, etc. it would theoretically be possible to subscribe to an overall lower cable bill but the cable cos would almost certainly raise per-channel (or mini-bundle) pricing to compensate.

If you want a kindergarten OS where a corporation prevents you from running apps according to their daily whim and maximization of profits - get an iPhone. Apple will protect you by making sure you run only kids friendly apps which only work with their dongles and hardwares.

This a million. Hence why I only watch BBC IPlayer, Netflix and somewhat Amazon Prime. No ads.

Also why I don't bother streaming from UK's other commercial channels e.g. ITV and Channel 4 as they are riddled with ads. And you have to log into them which is annoying, not helped by rubbish players especially on Linux. May also be that their programming is mostly irrelevant, e.g. reality show and singing contests etc.

I do endure some ads when streaming sports channels. (Sky sports, BT Sports, Eurosport). But at least then they are limited to before and after the events.

Your mileage might vary.
Although many people will doubtless come to Westworld later and watch it in a binge-y way, it was really a blast from the past to watch it week to week and read online discussions, etc. about it.

Everybody spreads misinformation. Most notoriously the established media. Just take a look at the newest rape case in sweden, where the perbs live streamed the whole ordeal on facebook. All media headlines are "Swedish men rapes woman live on facebook", if you saw a screendump from the video there is no doubt that the men are not "swedish men", and eventhough the video and screendumps are very easy to find, not a single media outlet (besides the "alternative" ones) have actually posted screenshots from the event.

I think it's very difficult when you're in charge of a business with a line of business that's profitable /right now/ to knowingly cannibalise that line of business with a new model that will /make you less money/ - even if the change is vital to keep you in business in 10-20 years time.

After all, if you're making $10 per customer per month, it's bound to be an uphill battle to convince people you should change to a business model that makes you $5 per customer per month.
