I am Turkish by origin, but have been living in USA for 7 years.

I could vouch for the fact that it would make them feel threatened. They are definitely not aware of civil liberties and constitutional rights. Heck, they don't even know or understand what freedom of speech is.
I'm pretty sure the "deadline" to withdraw funds is just a scare tactic so that they can just end the platform as quickly as possible. I'd be extremely surprised if they can just keep the funds after June 12, even in the US; it's surely illegal in a place like the UK or Europe. Especially since they're part of a bigger company now, there's no way they can just keep the money (implying that if they somehow did, a person would just sue Airbnb).

Also, they really should take down some parts of their website. I just went to their site after a long time, and noticed I was still logged in, and it stated that Tilt isn't available in my country yet and if I am one of the first 100 people to sign up for a launch notification, I can get a Tilt t-shirt. It also says the following below it:

> We're expanding quickly and currently have offices in the U.S., Canada, UK, and other locations. Interested in joining our international team? Sign up above and we'll reach out when we launch in your region!

It feels like the EOL announcement of Tilt was really done quickly and sloppily. They should have taken down things that reference Tilt being an alive product, rather than just something that is existing because they won't want to be completely terrible and kill the product immediately.
They're on the same train ride into work for the 600th time. There's only so much of that same part of the world you can pay attention to.
Mmm, I think one of them is less of a wannabe than the other. At least so far.
This is the reason it will be very difficult for anything like the Sprig concept. Food delivery is insanely competitive and it's a race to the bottom to see who can stay in business on the smallest margin. That's usually the place that operates out of a low-rent storefront and employs family members at below-minimum wage, not a glitzy well-funded commissary with acres of stainless steel and new equipment.
There is no fourth estate. Wake up.
In NL some Turkish minister turned up to canvas for Erdogan's push for more power and was told to get lost. She persisted with bodyguards in tow and showed up by car (after her plane had been denied landing rights).

Next thing you know there was an arrest squad between her car and the Turkish embassy with instructions to shoot if necessary. They managed to de-escalate the situation and sent madam home mission not accomplished. Never seen anything like that here.
Anecdote: I'm getting ~9 days to a charge with my Nexus 5. Battery life improved after I moved from CM to LineageOS. Max was about 7 days on CM. I know batteries don't last forever, but the hardware is still perfectly good. Google doesn't care about Nexus 5 owners anymore. It's sad really. They should at least open source the drivers if they don't want to support it anymore. Even if I purchase a new phone, this one could still make someone happy for many more years. It doesn't belong on a rubbish heap.
So you use a GC and have occasional CPU usage spikes. You correctly identify the cause. You then use "unsafe" code to go behind the GC's back and build some stuff which probably has crash bugs or worse, and by your analysis solves a problem which was not significant.

Impressive work, I've always been curious about cryptocurrencies and Ethereum has struck me as particularly interesting.

That being said, the hyper-volatility has made me a bit afraid of investing any decent amount of money in it.
There is a tiny one in the iPhone 7. But, that's for flexibility on current tasks not future proofing.

In terms of AI there is little reason to run it on the phone unless it's heavily used or needs or be low latency. Consider if they add a 100$ of computing power to a phone that sits unused 99% of the time they can just build a server using those same 100$ worth of parts that can then serve 100 phones saving 90+$ per phone including upkeep etc.

PS: This is the same logic why Amazon Echo is so cheap, it simply does not need much hardware.
All of these can be true without changing my point. The security services have grown vastly more capable through experience and advancement in tech which results in modern terror groups failing vastly more often than not.

The IRA were vastly more capable than the Islamic terrorists we face in the UK today, but they never had to face a security service as well equipped to deal with them.

>2. Many commercial VPNs (e.g., PIA) end up having some portion of their endpoint IPs end up on blacklists and break a lot of sites.

Yup. I cannot use these in good faith. I've gotten burned really badly by using shared VPNs and payment-type sites. I roll my own on a no-log VPS paid in Bitcoin through a mixer, registered to a false name/address.
I don't think diplomatic immunity protects the rest of them either. It's not a free license to commit any crimes they want.

Funny, as a pedestrian, I daily observe that any sidewalk a bicyclist is capable of riding on will be entered by a bike, with resulting risk of injury or death to pedestrians. I have indeed daydreamed about ways to introduce barriers to prevent bicyclists from riding on sidewalks, but without success. Any ideas?
I report bugs sometimes. I develop and test software for a living, and so my paying clients come first. This includes both software they are using and relevant tools that I am using in order to help the clients.

After or alongside those come the support and development teams of free (speech) software that I use. After that, certain developers of non-free software. As an exercise for the student, guess where Microsoft comes in that list.

Can you provide a citation for that or a link to more reading? I'm not asking because I don't believe you, but because I would like to learn more. :-)
They also told me on reddit, that it is probably not such a good idea to buy a cheap battery for a device, that has a battery that is not meant to be removed, because the resulting cheap quality may make your phone go up in flames.

Anyway, there are still so many devices where you can remove the battery out there.

And not everyone has money as highest priority, so I'd rather take my time and buy a new battery for an old phone than throwing it away and creating unnecessary electronic waste, just to save a few bucks.

Plus when you buy a new device, you will need some time to transfer your data, and set it up again, possibly experience new bugs and what not. So that also costs some time.
Many of the well known insurance companies are pretty good, I would recommend just looking at your local big highest rated insurance companies.

https://www.consumeraffairs.com/insurance/business-insurance...
http://www.reviews.com/business-insurance/

Though I would recommend getting few local small business owners word of mouth recommendations that you use regularly above all else. Now for your finding good professional services, I literally go around and see who is doing pretty good (clean and modern physical location, good track record on review sites if they are online, and I also get local business owner opinions.)

Going to the services place of business has been very valuable along with checking out the surrounding businesses. I would also recommend watching how happy the people are going in and out of the business from the parking lot if it is a small single shop place. If it is in a bigger building I would recommend going to their lobby to see how the people and facilities are up to your quality standards.

You can also get a good gauge on some of quality by how your are treated on the phone and in person at the front desk. Normally many of these places have brochures you can get by visiting them to learn more about their specific services and in some cases if they are a big firm their clients if the clients agreed to be named.

It will normally come down to which preference you have (small or big business service). Then once you know your preference you can begin to narrow it down. I would recommend testing the waters with a few consultations up front which would be well worth it in the long run.

So, imagine sharing a video that shows the fruits of your labor in order to drum up some interest in your project. Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is playing in the background.

The video shows you booting the phone into Gnu/Linux. As the music builds, you touch the screen of the phone to make it start to do a task. As you enter data into the phone to complete this task, the music builds toward a climax. Finally, at the climax of the music the task on the phone is complete, and the phone reacts in the most dramatic way a phone possibly can.

What do you imagine the phone doing in such a video?

Who said it was my "big concern"? I just gave an example of how this bad culture thing goes both ways and made no comparison about injury/death potential. Have you not noticed these replies started with a comment made by me about car culture?

> Why have a full-blown car or motorcycle when you can have a tin can on wheels deliver stuff?

For one reason, to prevent people from stealing the goods. I used to deliver pizza. It was pretty much a given in certain areas that if I was not very careful about locking my car that I'd get pizzas stolen out of it while I was parked making a delivery.

A self-driving igloo cooler is just going to get kicked over and emptied.
Sonic installed my fiber service late last year. Last week AT&T was hanging fiber on my street. I chatted with the lineman and he was upfront (unsolicited, even!) that the only reason he was out there was because Sonic forced AT&T's hand. Previously AT&T was building out FTTN infrastructure in places like Mission Bay, but he said they've completely ditched that strategy and are switching to FTTH. However, Sonic appears to be methodically rolling out fiber street-by-street. The lineman said AT&T had him installing fiber in a more-or-less haphazard manner. I guess AT&T is literally freaking out, trying to catch up and perhaps head-off Sonic as best they can.

Anyhow, point being, while Sonic's methodical rollout might mean they are unlikely to reach you anytime soon if they've already passed you by, keep an eye on the AT&T trucks. They may decide to systematically install service to the areas Sonic misses, or inexplicably serve your street before another. AT&T is charging $90/month to Sonic's $40/month, with less guaranteed throughput, so it's particularly attractive for them to serve a block Sonic misses.

$90/month is still amazing, but I think AT&T's strategy is going to be much like Comcast's: $90/month for internet only, or $95/month for internet + network television. Either way you're going to be paying for the network television. But they want to induce you to be "officially" served so they have something to sell to the networks and advertisers.

MacOS integrating Siri is just another piece of the trend of private data hoovering. Along with routing people much harder into iCloud with Sierra.

The purpose of the justice system shouldn't be to exact retribution — it should be to rehabilitate. It's not about consequences, it's about putting people back on the right track.
It's a very fascinating subject. At UT Dallas we have a couple of world class scholars on the topic.

Some more reading material:

* http://international.ucla.edu/media/files/Rapoport-Four-Wave...

Could we consider the terrorism in Europe part of a new wave? Note: it's thought that "modern" terrorism started with anarchist movements in the 1880s; Lenin's brother was executed for his involvement in one of the earliest groups.

* http://www.utdallas.edu/~tms063000/website/TargetSubstitutio...

Terrorists have shifted their targets over the years from hardened military targets to "softer" ones. It's easier (unfortunately) to run over 100 civilians with a lorry than it is to attack a military outpost.

* http://www.ir.rochelleterman.com/sites/default/files/pape%20...

The "logic" behind suicide terrorism is unfortunately pretty sound. If you are in Palestine where human life is "cheap" due to environment and material resources are expensive, suicide bombing strikes groups like the West particularly hard where life is expensive and tech is "cheap", and the smartest most expensive missiles aren't nearly as smart as someone packed with explosives who is willing to die.

The worst thing about all of this is that modern terrorism became possible because media enabled terror to reach farther than before: today's social media environment is like a best-case scenario for terrorists because their actions reach so damn far so quickly. Most attacks today are livestreamed. ISIS virtually has a media empire. Zuckerberg and Ev Williams probably weren't thinking about the issue much when they were building their their networks.

What's even more striking is the fact that the refugee crisis is gonna keep this going for another generation or more. The US destabilized the Middle East by invading Iraq, which created a new wave of terrorism and refugees in Europe, and new reprisals by the West, which continues the cycle. This was one of bin Laden and al Qaeda's explicit goals.

IOPS can also be "I/O operations per second" and in that context "1 IOP" is a meaningful quantity.

I am a strong supporter of universal liberal-arts education with a focus on critical thinking.

The reasoning is simple: merely being able to "read and write" is not enough to be a functioning citizen of a democracy. Effective citizenship requires the ability to read for comprehension and critique, to write effectively and persuasively, to reason about complex issues for which there may well be insufficient evidence to establish obvious and objective correct answers, to recognize ideas and philosophies and patterns from history.

Merely being able to, say, read a utility bill or restaurant menu, or write a short email, do not suffice. And many people will, left to their own devices, learn to do little more than those, if they even learn as much as that (whether due to inclination or lack of opportunity).
He may be referring to their "seller protection policy" which claims that anything sold without a shipping tracking number (AKA anything virtual) will always be refunded in the cases of a chargeback (even one through paypal's site, not through the credit card company).

This means that if a buyer charges back on a virtual sale, the buyer always wins. Even large companies such as Valve are affected by this[0]

What about performing operations on that encrypted data though? Is it still "indexable"

Not disagreeing with you. Encryption is something I have to learn/get into I think I was looking at AES256, I mean I use the standard bcrypt with openssl for password/login.
Modern CPUs are not designed for a program that is so small it fits into uop cache and runs AVX nonstop.

This is a slippery slope towards CPUs which are only warranted to run certain approved apps. Overclocking aside, I'd consider a CPU broken if it can't run any sequence of instructions 24/7 without damage at the stock speed and voltage.

Besides, Prime95 isn't what I'd consider a pathological case anyway --- FFTs are common in scientific computing and signal processing, and having a CPU continuously perform them is not at all an unusual workload.

What a weird article. My MBP gets 600 Mbps in my living room where my AirPort Extreme is, and around 300 Mbps in the bedroom above it. Both are like four years old. Newer APs are getting to the point where the GigE uplink port is the bottleneck, and consumer 10g hardware is non-existent. What exactly "sucks" about it?

"So we embraced the fundamental truth that sitting at a desk or standing in one position is not what human bodies were made for."

That's pretty cool, but I'd love to see more serious research to support this claim. There was a tendency for people to work standing up[0]. I, for example, when I need to do things fast I prefer to do the work standing up, but I end up getting very anxious, so I can not work that way for too long.

Sure, I mean one way to combat this is through data warfare and sabotage. If enough people behave erratically and poison the well of data it will make it harder for these companies to infer as much as they do now.

For example, click, view, watch, like at random ads and if enough people do this inference will be harder.
Man I do not follow much... part of it. I use Apache myself. I followed Digital Ocean's guide on how to setup Let's Encrypt and I was concerned about the mention of "backports" I didn't really get that. I've setup SSL certificates before regarding the Virtual hosts/ got some help with proper cipher suites and what not (have an A+ rating on qualyss) but yeah... after getting over the .pem vs. .cert it was no problem... though sometimes the process would say "no domain found" or "more than one virtual host" when there was only one. At any rate it worked for me so I'm glad I finally took the plunge.
Quants and the quirks: Theory is changing traders’ behaviour. And vice versa
it still costs $15/hr to deliver up to four $10 items that costs $3 to make

It seems like Sprig should have had a major advantage over delivery restaurants though - they didn't have to travel back and forth to the restaurant. With a fixed menu of a few non-heated items, they (presumably) loaded the truck with enough to satisfy the demands of the day and then their only problem is Traveling Salesman.

I don't understand why this isn't a killer model. Delivery restaurants make a living, right?

I'm inclined to believe that the parent comment is right, that the expectations were just too great. Even if the food delivery business was much more profitable than the average restaurant, they still had to support a very expensive VC-built technology team.

Also, I just wasn't that excited about the food. I ordered from Sprig a few times; it was just sandwiches and salads. You can get those within about 50 yards from any office downtown. I'm guessing that delivery restaurants make a living because their food is compelling enough that people are willing to wait an hour. Maybe remarkable food doesn't keep all day on a truck?
> Are you sure that people will download firefox over chrome when servo lands? How long before it will finally ship?

Yeah I have the same question: How is guessing the pattern hacking? And how is that a crime? In any other game of chance it's called "having a system."
