Considering how easy it would be to filter this out, why has Google allowed it to continue spreading within their own email network? Obviously they have no control over what goes on outside of Gmail/G Suite, but inside their own network, they should be able to setup a basic filter to stop anything TO: hhhhhhh@mailinator or whatever it is. I received this email (but did not click the link) in my Gmail account from another Gmail user, so it never left the Google network. From the reports here it looks like it is still spreading even though Google disabled the app.

With all of Google's machine learning expertise, how is it that this got past all of their SPAM detectors? It took me 2 seconds to hover over the link and see it was a crazy link that ended up at a domain called google.pro. Really? One of the world's largest and most advanced email systems couldn't figure that out?

This gets brought up every time, even after many times it's been clarified (even by lawyers) that it gives you more rights overall (as the downsides to it are true either way).

Remember - without that patent grant you have no rights to any of Facebook's patents anyhow. With it, you do.

So the worst case is that you'd be in the same situation if you didn't have the grant.
I'm totally open to punishing the execs and investors, but shutting down the company hurts the employees, drivers, and users more, so not a great outcome. A financial judgement/penalty against Uber large enough to force it into a bankruptcy and sale, force execs out, force a loss on investors, but keep it operating seems better then a shutdown.
To be fair, the speed plays an important factor during an accident, as accidents at higher speeds tend to have dramatically more severe consequences. The bicycles rarely reach normal motorcycle operation speed, and while motorcyclists tend to use better helmet, not that many of them actually follow ATGATT religiously (mostly those that have been in accidents themselves).

Generally though I'll agree with you that motorcycles are safer in cities than bicycles, but for a different reason -- motorcycles, unlike bicycles, generally ride along with car traffic on roads, and so car operators are more likely to see them, as they only appear where car drivers expect other cars. Many bicyclists have an unfortunate habit of riding on a sidewalk, which is very, very dangerous. Having brighter head and tail lights on a motorcycle, and blinking indicators definitely helps too.

Justice Thomas is essentially arguing that the 14th Amendment (the "no depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" one) is the wrong reason to give the person a refund of their fees after an overturned conviction.

Reading the dissent, it basically says: when the person was convicted, they paid their fine, and at that point the fine money is now property of the state. The overturning of the original conviction doesn't, however, mean that the fine money also reverts ownership - he claims it is still in ownership by the state so the person cannot claim it is their property being deprived without due process under the 14th amendment.

He proposes that the "correct" way to get the money back is by invoking this other thing called "The Exoneration Act," NOT the 14th. The problem is the Exoneration Act isn't a law that says the state HAS to return funds, it's more of a specific appeal process for people to apply to get funds back. In other words, he recognizes there is no state law in Colorado that requires refunding these fees (nor does he offer a viable Federal one), but he claims there is a process available, at least.

In that sense, his dissent isn't really about him believing these people are NOT owed a refund in the moral sense of what is just, he's simply arguing that the court should not establish that refunds of costs/fines in cases where convictions are overturned is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. It's kind of a pedantic dissent. And I still don't agree with him :)
Exactly. The quality and craftmanship of the product is what should be priority (especially concerning people's very lives), the end to end should come naturally for any respectable company.

At a subscriber level, monthly billing to 'SpaceX Broadband, Redmond' might be cause for inquisitive State Police to visit.

At a state level, the legality of jamming / interfering with satellites over national territory has never been definitively established. So SpaceX might find it easier to just turn-off over hostile nations than have them upset the network.
I agree, to an extent. Those sites should not be allowed to be indexed by search engines if they want it that way. If an article is indexed by a search engine and they clearly benefit from that traffic, the page should be open to the public, even if they have ad blockers.

Like most people in these threads, I want to support websites but I'm not going to give up my 1) privacy 2) bandwidth 3) battery life and 4) security just so these sites can shove annoying ads in my face.

For example, The Atlantic, which I subscribe to, continues to give me nags about my adblocker usage. I specifically block them because they are the annoying ads that animate and flash and make it impossible for me to actually focus on the text/content that I'm paying them for. It's obnoxious.

Ad blockers would not be so prevalent today if companies had not completely given up control of their advertisements to third party ad companies, who don't have the best interests of the viewer or even the site owner in mind.

I'd love to collapse all of my recurring payments into a monthly report, that I can review and authorize. This is exactly the thing banks are suited to handle.

It would also be cool if a bank could abstract bill payments for me, where they present the debit, and show the time window to pay it, and let me select what business day to process it on.

Actually, all of these services exist in one form or another. If you have a business account. And most banks have bill payment processing. But I'm surprised that no bank is offering these services bundled together, directly to consumers. I'd happily pay for a checking account console.

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for posting! Our new VS Code-based UI makes Sourcegraph a better way for you to read a codebase on the web with the full power and intelligence of an editor, without the hassle of cloning or configuration. It provides jump-to-def, hovers, find references, advanced search, symbol search, cross-repo references, etc., for any repo and any commit on GitHub (in Go, Java, and some other languages...more coming soon).

If you find yourself reading code on GitHub a lot, or cloning repos to open and read in your editor, you'll find Sourcegraph useful. If not, then you probably won't find it useful yet, but you might like our Chrome extension, which adds these features inline on GitHub.com (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph-for-gi...).

We'd love feedback. Try hovering over some tokens at https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/checkup@maste..., for example. Click on the smiley in the bottom right to give feedback.

Huge thanks to the VS Code team for building an amazing and extensible open-source code editor that we can build on.
To answer your question: Yes, investment flows tend to be trend following, people put money in when the market has been doing well and pull it out when it's been doing poorly. There are macroeconomic reasons for this, since people tend to be cash poor in downturns and cash rich in booms, but there also seems to be psychological 'returns chasing' behavior which hurts the median investor's returns. Here's a source using mutual fund flows, which shouldn't be fundamentally different than ETF fund flows:

> Your emails aren't sent anywhere; they are processed on our server.

So, I need to move my email to be hosted on your servers? Because if not, the correct way to the describe what you're doing is: "email is sent to our servers" which is the opposite of: "Your emails aren't sent anywhere".

Do you manage your own servers? Is the answer really, "your email is sent to virtual servers we lease from Amazon" for example?

It's not that trusting (yet another) party with full access to every email is necessarily a deal breaker - but every additional service and ops team that gain access is another potential human error added, that could lead to compromise.

Even compromise of something as trivial as ones email address: I currently get almost all spam to the addresses I used to sign up for Adobe, LinkedIn and Dropbox before they each got hacked in turn.

The only sensible assumption about a new service is that it will be compromised at some point - it's important to be able to evaluate the risks involved. (So you not storing email in perpetuity is good to know. One does wonder how much data might be gleaned from getting a copy of a neural network trained on my personal correspondence for a decade though).
That remains to be seen. Until now, it was quite the opposite.
It was this price point that got me to buy it to try it out. If it were $1.99+ I probably wouldn't have. Psychological stuff...

I own ETH as well but let's be honest it's mostly about speculation at this point (see: the GNOSIS launch today). I'll be a lot more confident when I see a draft of a sustainable proof of stake system and a few major commercial partners.

Crypto market cap in these proof of work systems fascinates me. ETH now has a $7b market cap but it would take less than $100 million in hardware to control 51% of hashing power and effectively destroy the currency. (And to the extent you can lease cloud resources, probably much less.)

> manage their Inboxes from anywhere in their browsers

I don't need this feature, I have a pinned tab with Google Inbox and it's one click away like your extension, and usually I deal with mails only when I want to, so it's a focused task that would be fullscreen anyway. You say «Email notifications can sometimes ruin your focus and hamper your creativity», but I would say the best way to stay focused is to consult mails only when decided.

> 1. Which Emails are important and need a reply

Google Inbox is really smart and knows how to classify mails by category without any training (Travel, Shopping, Finance, Social Network, Notifications, Forums, Promotion), and for each category you can choose if A) you want to get notifications when you receive them, and B) If they should be shown grouped in the inbox. Nowadays, if I get a notification for a mail, it means that the mail is of interest. I don't receive anymore notifications for forums answers, promotions mails or notifications, neither on my computer nor my phone.

> 2. Which sent Emails require follow ups and what is the best time for a follow up.

Google Inbox let you use your inbox as a TODO list, where you can mark mails (or groups, as above) as done, which has the same effect has archiving it. Aside the "mark as done" feature, there is also a "snooze until" feature that let you in one click snooze the mail (hide it from inbox) until Tomorrow, This weekend, Next week, a given date, or even a place (looks awesome, I never saw it actually). You can also "pin" mails so they stay on top of your inbox.

> 3. Which contacts are important to you and which ones are drifting away and need to be reconnected with

I don't need this feature from my inbox, but maybe some people do.

So for me Google Inbox mostly solves the same problems, except it is free and you get all bonus points from using Google: Automatically detecting flights and travels mails, showing these info directly in the inbox, easy visualization of mail attachments, Android application of Google Inbox, etc. I don't know if you already tried Google Inbox, but if not you should, it is important to know your main concurrent.

My goal is not to be rude, I'm trying to help you by showing that Google Inbox solves already most of your problems, and people using it will notice that, whatever ways you turn your arguments. Maybe you should direct your arguments more on the «same features as Google, but without Google» side? Some people have concern about Google having all their data, it may be working, but this is just some thoughts that may be helping you. I wish you good luck for your project, I hope you will make it succeed :-)

Elm Roadmap FAQ
>Walled Garden = How do you like the different browsers in Aoole's app store?

That's as arbitrary a definition as any.

Walled garden = A hyper-controlled environment where you have zero control over access to content and services.

If steam is "just a store" why do I need steam installed _AT ALL_ after I purchase the game? Why can't I just run the binary? After all, I paid for it. Next, Valve can ban my entire steam account at any point in time for any reason, without any recourse, and kick me outside the 'garden' and locking me out of every single game that I purchased. They have complete control over who gets to play in their garden and how they play. Now, I happen to like _SOME_ of the things Valve does, but I don't kid myself into thinking its something it isn't.

>Windows 10 S you have one store and can only buy it from one place.

Steam is an application, not an OS. Now I wonder if Valve will allow Microsoft to have a store on Steam OS. That would be an apples-to-apples comparison.

Facebook Q1 earnings
I think doing same thing but consuming 10 times more resources is kinda new. Though it is not the new I personally like.
I agree with your first comment, but for the second: I think that means that high earnings multiples and elevated risk would normally result in returns lower than, rather than in line with, the average. So he expected what he thought would be the consequence of overvalued markets, but got averages instead.

Outside the context of this bet, there's quite a lot out there on whether unusually high multiples (I think the really popular one for discussions is Shiller's CAPE) do or do not predict returns, or whether they predict anything at all. The opinions usually range from "the market says this is the right price for this risk, so it must be right" to "we're going to crash", but it's not all that clear who's right. (I think Shiller's right about overvaluation—I'm not sure what Buffett thinks.) But it's a pretty old topic, so that one is definitely not something he made up just as an excuse.
I think stepping up 3 would be to specifically tie your API to something with GPS like your phone, and the authorization could be based on that. (I travel a lot).

Or better yet, an app on the phone to just "enable transactions for a minute" since many addresses of POS systems are likely far from the actual POS.

They do much more than just alter control flow - they add to the stack, and are used to debug issue or bonk out of your program entirely. In duck-typed like Ruby/Python, you don't necessarily know whether a piece of code is going to fail, so you assume it does. That's why you have try/catch blocks all over the place.

In statically-typed languages like Java, you should be able to infer, mostly, what your program is doing at runtime, and if it's doing something you're expected, you raise an exception/error so that you stop processing whatever you're processing.

No goats need to be sacrificed in order for CLIF to do the right thing.
What I've found, is that every virtual credit card provider has to try to process recurring payments, even if that virtual credit card is depleted, kind of defeating a big use of virtual credit cards. I am sure that this is something they were obligated to do by other financial institutions. So virtual credit cards just end up being solely for online transactions that are not recurring.

The only company I have found that actually does what I'm describing is entropay.com, and they are based in Malta and I don't trust them for big transactions, as they have been known to steal people's money.
Color me skeptical! 5 years, maybe... 10 years, definitely!
