I went Samsung s2, s3, 3 different nexus phones, back with s7 edge now.

I don't find there is much bloatware now. And they had good multi-window support, long before nougat update to s7.
Economist ownership:
"The publication belongs to the Economist Group. It is 50% owned by the English branch of the Rothschild family and by the Agnelli family through its holding company Exor. The remaining 50% is held by private investors including the editors and staff"

Its role is to transfer US tax money to the military industrial complex, and its suceeding magnificently!
That also pretty much seems to be the main reason behind US wars these days.
The gun is also for close air support, if I understand the article.

I got a briefing on Adobe Sensei from some guys at the company. Basically it connects together various parts of their advertising and marketing products, in semi-automatic and automatic ways, to better track users, and to better track ad and marketing performance. Yes, it's ironic that their own marketing for this is so terrible.

I think we've seen a few posts like that on HN and now I wonder, what that means exactly. What else falls under the "feels right" umbrella for you?
Or we could read http://cr.yp.to/tcpip/twofd.html .
"We" in a context like this refers to the speaker and the reader/viewer together, to me.

Fair enough, though I would say its hard to qualify as a bigger enemy of the internet than a nation that judges all traffic of all users is allowed to be captured and sold at its source.

I think in areas where there's a lot of math, the absence of generic collections might prove to be a frustration relative to C++ or Java (both allowed languages at Google).
>Historically, many publications printed articles without bylines or under pseudonyms — a subject worthy of a forthcoming explainer of its own — to give individual writers the freedom to assume different voices and to enable early newspapers to give the impression that their editorial teams were larger than they really were.

Was that the only reason? Wasn't there something about preventing writers from building their credibility and fame then negotiating higher compensation? Is there something about it today?

Lest anyone say this is oversimplified, from Ars:

"Republicans argue that the Federal Trade Commission should regulate ISPs' privacy practices instead of the FCC. But the resolution passed today eliminates the FCC's privacy rules without any immediate action to return jurisdiction to the FTC, which is prohibited from regulating common carriers such as ISPs and phone companies."

Sure its doublespeak to repeal the FCC side of things and promise FTC protection when you know the FTC has no jurisdiction. It's also ridiculous to say that eliminating an overreach by the FCC (debatable) would be a moral wrong when stood on its own.

It's got finite amounts of oil. The cannon balls might not be able to crack the citadel, the core armor, but they could sure destroy just about every other element of the ship. I'm not sure it'd work that well with the funnels caved in from repeated bombardment, the engines would just choke. Anything weakly armored is going to get pounded to hell.

It would take a lot of ships, but it could be defeated.
They occasionally republish historical articles when they think they become relevant to current events. For example I think around the table me of the Brexit vote they published an article from the years Britain voted to join the EU.

In this case the article is more an 'About Us' piece than news or commentary. I've seen it come up several time so I think it my actually be a permanent part of the site.

Several years back I did a semester of the MBA program at Tsinghua University as part of a (now discontinued) Australian government scholarship program.

One of my main takeaways from that experience was finding out that disciplines such as marketing and sales had far more rigor than I previously realised. Coming from a technical background it was easy to be dismissive of these fields.

From that perspective, I think your point 2 is likely to be where you get the most value.

I'd also add a point 5. the alumni network and all the networking advantages that provides. At a top-tier program, your classmates will likely go on to be movers and shakers in their industries, though it might take quite some time to manifest.
They cite institutional sources on facts all the time. The rest is analysis, for which they are the source.
On the other hand, I know of people who have problems with putting their keyless entry dongle down in the car and having trouble finding it when they try exiting. I've never had that problem with keys.
As Brian notes, VPNs can leak DNS lookups and IPv6 traffic. There can also be leaks if the uplink gets interrupted. So one should use either the VPN's DNS server, or a reliable third-party DNS server. One should also have firewall rules that allow only connections to the VPN server on the physical network adapter. All other traffic, including DNS lookups, should be restricted to the VPN tunnel.
This is a great tip. I'm going to start using this.

Because once you have shown it is possible once, it means it can be done again. Why destroy a piece of history when you can destroy number 2 trying to fly it a third time?

They most likely spent the time bringing it up to the latest rev because of the performance improvements and increased reliability of the newer version. They didn't really care about how much time it took to get the second one to fly, as long as they could get it done. This was a really big milestone for their future plans, so it didn't really have a monetary or time limit.

Read Feynman's book "Surely your joking Dr. Feynman", he's got an entire chapter on safe cracking.

Yep, I remember in high school, in fact it was in Pasadena not far from Cal Tech, I don't remember who, but somehow I learned from somebody how to open the high-school lockers by 'feel', in a fairly short-time I could open any locker quicker than my own knowing the combo.

Locks are fairly amazing when you think about it the locksmiths and the criminals all know how to crack any lock, yet the people in the middle think they're secure.

Years later as a landlord I got to know my locksmith fairly well, one day by offhand he told me that the master-key ( So I could have one key to rule them all ) I was using could open 1/2 the units in the city.
There was an investigation and court case about the accident, as the article mentions. If the driver would have been guilty, probably he would have been punished.

I think some pretty unfortunate situation arose, maybe the children were also not careful enough, it doesn't really matter anymore. The driver had to make a decision in a split second. Probably he already instinctively did some action by the time he got to think about the situation, and the "decision" is a rationalization of a situation he was just as well victim of, where he also didn't have any control.
Well sure, have some people taken those viewpoints to bad conclusions? Of course, and rightly we shouldn't allow such actions to take place at all. But, extermination, expulsion and interment are a far cry from what most people advocate when talking about maintaining their racial/cultural identity in the face of rampant immigration from disparate cultures. If anything, most of the time, people simply advocate that immigration should be made slow/mild enough to allow for assimilation. Yet, that exact same viewpoint gets them labeled "white supremacists" and "racists" with no further discussion or nuance.
Australia? We're not doing too well.

> Upon the migration of the final nameserver – you guessed it – DNS died everywhere. The culprit turned out to be a difference in firewall configuration between the two OSes: the default generated ruleset on Trusty did not allow for port 53 on the public interface.

The reason Samsung bothers with software of their own is that they are a little scared of Google. What if Google started charging a lot for the non-free parts of Android?
Because networks are unreliable.

Because of latency. I have read several articles about drone pilots. The latency is a really big issue, the biggest of all.

Because of limited bandwidth.

Because of jamming.

Because pilots care better for the multimillion$ equipment if their life is also at stake. (This being the least important)

Because while human life is at stake military and political leaders think twice before starting a war and sending in the fighters/bombers.

I did wonder why Slate had a interesting article like this. They really lost the plot in the last few years.
There's also the side-channel leak that occurs when you connect to an authenticated service on your regular connection (e.g. Skype), and then again through your VPN. It identifies you as a user of the VPN and can provide patterns that hint at which VPN traffic is yours. Multiply this by the number of services (including ones you don't know you use, e.g. Windows background services).

WebRTC leaks your real IP as well, and cannot be disabled on Chromium based browsers. It's becoming an increasingly popular technology.

I'd like to see mainstream operating systems support isolation for connections.
Yep, CTR is clicks divided by impressions. Although thinking back I believe they were site skins with billboards, not just banners. Even still, for that ad format on that site I would have expected 1-2%. (And yeah, skins do tend to get more accidental clicks than a small banner ad, but in many cases can also provide better results regardless of accidental clicks.)

Depending on the ad format/placement and many other variables, it's possible to have a high-ROI advert with a 0.1% CTR, or a low-ROI advert with 5% CTR (or the exact opposite).
My point was that Python written by someone that don't know how to write readable code is just as unreadable as "sysadmin" Perl. Well written Perl is actually very readable.

There is a standard measuring instrument for the color of salmon-flesh. The SalmoFan!:
https://www.dsm.com/markets/anh/en_US/products/products-solu...

> DSM has studied consumer preferences regarding the flesh color of salmon. Our research shows that dark-colored salmon flesh consistently commands a premium. Typically bought by more affluent groups, it can command an additional USD 0.50 to USD 1.00 per pound when offered side-by-side with light-colored salmon flesh.

> Light-colored salmon attracts a different consumer demographic, being more frequently purchased by minority groups than dark-colored salmon.
Of course not. I only need them in my workshop/foundry/dev machine.
It is higher for you, perhaps, and for techies. The average person does not care at all about autonomous landing on an asteroid, despite the scientific and engineering feat it is.

People cheered for the man landing on the moon, all over the world, even in the communist block, despite loosing the space race with that very event. Why? Because it was about people! Because the even the ordinary people could relate to the event.
> One other thing is make sure its smoked well, meaning if it isnt smoked long enough it can be too moist. I wouldnt want anyone to try it and sort of get a soggy smoked fish lol. Nothing "wrong" with it but I think its better eating.

Would you say that this applies to smoked eel as well? It's always quite moist when I buy it and while I love it, now I'm curious if it could be even better.
This name is spelt "Feynman".
Sorry I must be slow, what's the joke?
Well, where ever they get it seeing salmon you catch that isn't pale pink but grey is disturbing and not something which would occur naturally.

I fly fished wild salmon since I was in my early teens and they were always pink. We stole enough fish from the fishfarms to see a difference (either grey or insanely over coloured) ;)

I think maybe Pacific salmon are different to the kind we get in Scotland though? Ours only spawn once and they don't eat when they're back in freshwater (as a consequence the tail end of the fishing season is horrible; black skinny things that fall apart when you touch em)
In the article, the errors may propagate but there is no error handling or timeout.

I thought the consensus on such plugins was that they didn't work reliably. It's been a while since I looked into it, but back when I tested this plugin, my browser failed an online WebRTC leak test.
Ok, it's an immersion in R^3 of a tubular neighborhood of an embedding of the Klein bottle in R^4.

But be like Michelangelo and see the immersed Klein bottle inside the glass.
Great point on TBL. Maybe it's a matter of style rather than greatest insight. Many great thinkers and theorists have died before there work is fully realized, and some are just pragmatic geniuses like Edison who can see the path to making things happen.

Both styles can offer so much to humanity, but I'd bet most entrepreneurs would go with Edison as a cofounder before Nelson.

In my opinion, there are too many April Fools articles these days.
No single WW2 battleship could destroy every older ship, as the planer is huge, and that battleship is being a single one.

This also stands for a single class of ship, as BBs are expensive, and provide only limited power projection capabilities. As it turned out not superweapons, but decent stuff in insane amounts won the war.
The costs of some things have indeed plummeted. It still costs a lot of money to eg. close off city streets, hire cranes, ensure 200 cast and crew are in the right places at the right times with the right skills and equipment. Also marketing is typically a huge chunk of the cost involved.

Btw lots of frame-by-frame retouching happens on modern movies. Doing decent VFX is extremely laborious.
Instagram has a long history of copying Snapchat, so Snapchat copied Instagram's interface/features as a joke for April Fool's Day.
The problem is that one individual is not an average population. Average population in USA is incapable of eating right.

Samsung is also flirting with Microsoft, "The Microsoft Edition Android phone appears to be exactly the same as the regular version of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus from a hardware perspective, but it will apparently have some features that make it easier to install and use Microsoft apps that don't already come preinstalled on the device, such as Outlook and Cortana, when users first connect to Wi-Fi. The Galaxy S8 will ship with Office basics such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as OneDrive and Skype"

> Soon she'll retire, except that retirement as my mother the scientist envisions it means embarking on a new project: comparing recent changes in Earth's climate with historic ones. "It's a pretty important subject when you consider that even a small change in the solar output could conceivably turn Long Island into a skating rink-just like it was some 10,000 years ago."

OK, so this was published in 2002. At this point, a little reduction in solar output would be pretty nice.
Slightly off the topic: having worked with them on an article, I will say they are an extremely rigorous newspaper. They check every fact and sentence to an obsessive degree.

I guess the subscription fee pays for this degree of professionalism. I was impressed enough that I immediately bought a subscription.
The design of the system requires the player to put their hand in the robot arm's work envelope in order to make a move, so in order to follow your advice one would have to avoid playing the game, which seems a shame.
Sure, in some cases you want to wrap the error type - Rust handles this by essentially having you create a custom error type which is an enum (which can be done via macros like quick-error and error-chain), and implementing From<BarError> on it which'd create your custom error type from the BarError. This trait is used by both the try!() macro and the ? operator (which do much the same thing, the latter being the updated syntax):

let foo = bar()?;

If you need to do something custom in converting bar()'s error into your error type - which is rare - you can use .map_err() like this:

let foo = bar().map_err(|e| MyError::BarError(e, extraContext))?;
I agree - it's brilliant to find out about real progress that hasn't been picked up in the mainstream, possibly because it's hard to consume.
They've been "flirting" since Windows Phone 8 days.
