Oh, certainly! That's what "disciplinary probation" means - it makes a clear statement that what they've been doing doesn't fly in the society they aspire to join, and gives them an opportunity to demonstrate that they've grasped this and are willing to behave themselves accordingly - or, conversely, that even having had the limits of their desired pale made clear, they scruple not to transgress further.
Comparing the economics of a pure bit-based product (media) with a pure atom-based product (camera) is not the most convincing way to make an argument in my opinion.

You can get most of what WSJ writes somewhere else for free. You'll probably say that's not true because the value you get from WSJ is not news but their commentary, but even in this case that particular "value" is very subjective and for most people it's not valuable enough.

Open banking movement gains momentum internationally
Here's some anecdotal evidence of how many businesses in India are using Whatsapp as a business chat app.

1)As a notification system. Went to a tailor to get some shirts stitched. He took my Whatsapp number so he could notify when I could come in for a fitting then then for a pickup.

2)As a sales app with photos. Went to buy some clothes but they didn't have the item in the color I wanted. I was looking for a specific color. The sales guy said they had the color but not in stock. Took down my Whatsapp number and messaged me photos of the item in the color I wanted when they had it in stock. I saw the color and it was the right shade I wanted, asked him to keep my size aside so I can come buy it.

3)As an information sharing app. I wanted to buy toothpaste for my 2 year old and went to the local pharmacy. They had a toothpaste for babies but it didn't say if the toothpaste contained flouride. I said I couldn't buy it without knowing that. The pharmacist took down my Whatsapp number and told me he'll find out and let me know if that brand contained Flouride. I left to pick up groceries and in 10 minutes I had a message from the pharmacist with screenshot of the relevant information he had dug up from the company's website.

Business chat can be really helpful.
nah I think its something for normal photos, not immersive content.

I've been using Documents by Readdle, which was basically Files for the iphone. But I have a feeling they just got sherlocked.
The two big areas Apple missed the plot before were A) failing to do minimal upkeep on their product lines B) redesigning the Mac Pro without consideration for meeting the needs of its target user base and the heat envelope required. These were colossal and humbling failures for Apple's PC business.

The fact that they aren't building commodity-style boxes for hobbyists is very very minor in comparison. The market for these things is shrinking, and it's dominated by price-sensitive people that are not very valuable customers to begin with. If this is what you want, then there's no point in wishful thinking: start looking at Windows / Linux yesterday.
It's a different product for a different audience. And it has a screen.
I don't see why reporting the news is different from other jobs that people have a passion for and provide value to society. Should scientists not be paid because there are people who are curious about that natural world who would do it for free?
Vimwiki tables
Indeed, I observed this because our local grocer asks for your email address when checking out so it can send receipts there. After providing mine it never asked again.

It would be really cool if it generated new numbers each time and had an amount coded to that number. So when I wave my Apple Pay device over the reader it would display the amount on the device, I would approve, and then a number would be handed back that's only good for that amount.
My sources here aren't media channels, but every single BLM member or supporter I've engaged in debate with (n>100) until this comment (probably because this is the first venue I've raised this where lead poisoning is the primary topic of conversation). To date, not a single supporter or member I've engaged with has acknowledged lead poisoning as a potential culprit when I try to raise it (probably because acknowledging lead poisoning as a cause requires one to also acknowledge the higher incidence of violent crime committed by black men, which is inconvenient to the racist police narrative they are pushing).

In these debates, I usually point to this table of FBI statistics, which shows a significantly higher level of crime committed by both men (all races) and black men in particular on a per capita basis as an explanation for the disproportionate number of men and in particular black men shot by cops.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

Cops are more aggressive with black people but don't actually kill them at a greater rate relative to the number of violent crimes committed. Here is Roland G. Fryer's research showing this:
https://www.nber.org/papers/w22399

I'm not discounting that black lives matter. I'm supportive of it. My point is that if we really care about fixing the problems that result in increased mortality in that demographic, we should instead be focusing on likely root causes such as lead poisoning. Lead should be getting so much more attention in the BLM debate, but it does not. Why?

The travel distance to actuation is what really matters, and it's around 2mm with most mechanical switches. Also the required force to actuate scissor switches is on the higher side compared to other technologies.
> Except OpenCL was more like Metal - designed by Apple, pushed by Apple, used by nobody.

Because Apple could not stand Khronos politics.

Also Apple isn't to blame Khronos could not make something as usable as CUDA.

> Currently all signs point towards Vulkan edging out DX12 in the Windows gaming market.

Vulkan and OpenGL don't work in UWP, which is the future of Windows application model, nor on XBox.
The whole idea around proof-of-work based chains isn't immutability, it's that the longest chain always wins. If the majority of CPU power 'votes' for a particular chain that chain sits as the de-facto chain. For most chains this means >50% wins, as requiring anything higher for consensus increases the potential for network deadlock.

With that, are there any trust algorithms that aren't susceptible to 51% attacks? Ideally power (stake or hash in this case) is distributed amongst actors as much as possible. Cryptocurrency doesn't take us from centralized -> decentralized currency: it moves us from almost wholly centralized currency to more decentralized currency. The move is welcome but idealistically seeing the options as completely centralized or completely decentralized seems a bit misguided to me.
It has to do with the way transactions and the blockchain ledger works, reread the transaction part of the article and it might make more sense. Basically, transaction outputs can either be spent or unspent, you can't half spend an output (or perhaps more accurately, you can't spend a previous output twice).
Oh, the other thing is that what you are looking for will change over the course of your career. Early on, you need to work with people who can effectively mentor you. Your direct boss and the technical leaders on your team will matter, but the rest of the company can be kind of terrible and it will probably be fine. Once you start moving into technical leadership or architect roles, the additional work you probably need to do to have an impact in dysfunctional, sexist organization will be a much bigger drag on your productivity and moral. On the up side, by that point you will have the skills and resume to pick and choose better organizations.

I believe that noticing when that transition happens and swapping companies is key to persisting in the industry.
Does this mean that iOS devices might be able to use something like a Yubikey? Reading the Yubikey Neo spec sheet, it looks like the answer very well may be yes!

Sounds like something that can be solved using special metadata for paywall sites, along with a process to approve those who claim to be paywall sites.
A place that allows discrimination is not a positive environment for everyone who is not part of the discriminated group.

People who are not part of the discriminated group do see what's going on. However they are often powerless themselves to do anything other than leave. A toxic environment affects almost everyone exposed to it.
I was simply comparing what hardware experience I have had. I also have a 2005 acer laptop and a 2011 asus netbook that are still running fine today.

There is something to be said about warranties that you learn in engineering school. The time period they cover is always calculated such that the majority of faults across the majority of customers will not occur inside of the window they cover.
You can double the density by just building townhouses and small apartment buildings in many of these places. A small developer can buy up a couple of adjacent lots, add double the capacity and still make a tidy profit. No imminent domain is needed here.
My wife's in law rather than tech, but she's commented many times about how much she appreciates the formality and process in law firms. E.g. when there's no pressure to socialize with coworkers, nobody has occasion to know that you're a mom with a kid. And your supervising partner may not even be in the same office as you, in which case you're a basically genderless entity represented by an email address and your work product.
I'm not a fan of BLM, but I am pretty sure you're mischaracterizing their efforts.

From what I've read they seem focused on targeting institutional racism - and police reform is just one component of that. Their approach is far broader and I am pretty sure they've made linkages with the "environmental justice" movement which is very much focused on problems like the effects of lead contamination.
It's 1.2M for an app that doesn't meaningfully increase security. Let's suppose this thing gets somewhat popular. Now malware will detect the presence of this app, wait until a legitimate request gets initiated, and piggy back off that. You approve the request, the malware logs into your servers/repos, does whatever evil thing it needs to do, let the original app do its thing, and you're none the wiser.
Focusing time on climate change has the benefit of being right. This is good for the collective.

Focusing on blockchains has the benefit of being potentially profitable. This is good for the individual trying to get ahead of their competition in the rat race of life.

Guess which incentivizes human behavior more?
I am not saying Apple is a bad brand; their computers are of high quality, are great for personal use, and are more than capable of productive work.

However, statistically Apple computers certainly are not, in aggregate, established as work computers.

Windows maintains continuing dominance at 90% market share of the desktop market, and optimistic projections from Apple-favorable sites estimate about 8% market share, with Linux at about 1-2%. [1]

You can think Apple tech is good but recognize in the workplace Apple has presently lost and is playing catch-up.

>The reason we have anti-discrimination laws is because without them, minorities would have no other options.

But those laws exist precisely because people fought to get them in place and be recognized as civil rights. How can you write several paragraphs that sound exactly like rationalizations used for segregation in the 50s [1] and then turn around and talk about anti-discrimination laws?

Well, just like anti-discrimination laws were set in place, so should laws that shouldn't allow businesses to discriminate based on someone exercising their free speech.

Client Hints
For the most part, the examples you cite aren't "militia"-class weapons. They fall under the purview of multinational agreements like ITAR, not the Second Amendment. The argument is ridiculous because if you possess things like nukes, you're either a sovereign state or a non-state actor at the international level. You're not playing the role of a US citizen subject to Constitutional laws and protections. Absolutely no enlightenment can be had on the subject of gun control by bringing up thermonuclear weapons and saying, "So there!"

You're in good company, though, because the ACLU does the same thing in attempting to wriggle out of supporting Second Amendment rights.
You do realize that that issue was closed in 2015, right?

Precisely - it's a massive challenge they're undertaking. I think they'll omit cameras on such a device for this reason.

Smart glasses have never been "cool", but keep in mind that prior to the iPhone smartphones were generally uncommon for average users - unless you were a geek (I used to use a Palm Treo/PDAs in HS).

I think what they're aiming for will be something like the AirPods but intended to be worn all the time like Apple Watch. If AirPods were slightly smaller and had all-day battery life or wireless charging they could stay in your ears all day as a "wearable", like how many wear hearing aids today. AR Glasses would have to be lightweight and as un-intrusive as possible - they'd have to appeal not only to people who wear eyewear regularly but also to users who are not accustomed to doing so.

Perhaps they'll incorporate a retinal projector like Magic Leap or some other novel tech...
Agree mostly. However, is it actually an overgeneralization if it is statistically proportional with rate of violent crime:

There are places within 3 hours drive of SF, where you can pay $1000 to buy an acre of land (200 acre parcels minimum).

At some point, telecommuting technology will encourage an exodus of tech workers.

Some people, yes, want a city life.

Others don't want to lose 50% of their earnings on buying or renting housing.
Quora is one of the biggest offenders of growth tactics at the cost of user experience. They make it so easy to create an account without intending to that I probably have 15 of them.
It seems like that would be a lot of work to maintain. Like as soon as companies start updating stuff (funding rounds, new products etc) your information about them becomes useless.

Fousing on CO2 may give that kind of result, but if you focus on another indicator, like say, sea ice, there's also charts for days, e.g.:

https://sites.google.com/site/arcticseaicegraphs/

Truth is that CO2, unlike financial indicators, increase monotonously, and even big changes at the national scale only introduce very subtle and gradual changes to it. However, other indicators change much faster (and not as monotonically).

I was annoyed too ... in my case I subscribed.
Indeed, I wasn't too clear in my comment. It slows down to a crawl because rather than queueing OCR, it does it all at once. 100 documents means 100 tesseracts running in parallel.

Given the human bias for sources that confirm rather than challenge preconceived notions, I'd imagine that market segment is quite small. Even among people that say they want such a service!

And on top of that, there's a difference between news and data. "xx people were run over by a truck in an attack group Y has claimed responsibility for" is a (poor) headline, not an article. Once you expand out beyond a reading of simple facts, bias creeps in everywhere from choice of sources to choice of words to quantity of coverage.

Worse, simple facts are rarely interesting or actionable. People want analysis.
whatever it is, it is not healthy for the community on here.
> I don't think most BLM supporters would assert that "'racist' cops" are the "root cause" of America's mistreatment of black people

Anecdotal, but every single supporter I've engaged with to date until this comment, n>100.

My point is that lead does not get nearly the attention it deserves.

The Google search results for "lead poisoning site:blacklivesmatter.com" returns exactly one result, which is a statement on Flint, Michigan, that makes no mention of the relationship between violent crime and lead poisoning.
I think that 0003 meant that people circumventing the blocking by appending l.facebook.com/l.php?url= increased in number.
Yes, but you don't have to buy it. Just check any other official source for split/ergonomic keyboards.
They're in no way surprised; they're trying to marshal public outrage or lean on anti-trust efforts in order to force google to rank them higher.
Oh my God. Now we are back-in-time blaming the media for US foreign relations? You've got to be trolling me.

What did "the media" have to gain from the US going to war in Iraq? Any media campaign to convince the public would have been led by the government. All the actionable intel came from government, not the media. "The media" isn't some mass entity working together. They're one step above the general public in the knowledge chain, beneath government. Government can influence the media as much as it can influence the public.

I found it interesting that their nod to privacy wasn't "we'll do all the processing locally", but rather "we won't link this to your account when we send it up to the cloud".

Which is sort of weird, right? Are they doing voice recognition and language understanding in the cloud, then sending actions back to the speaker for local execution of things that require actions to be taken, eg setting reminders & liking songs?

I guess this is how they try and get themselves out of the corner they've painted themselves into with privacy.
All right, why is someone who cares passionately about something less susceptible to bias than someone who's just reporting for a living? I would be inclined to believe the opposite.
But the city council for years regularly approved zoning changes for more dense development. They did so right up until this March when measure S passed:

"how much you earn is based on how much value you provide"

I think a better way to put that is, how much you earn is based on how much it costs to replace you. It is very difficult to replace a doctor (you can't just grab any person off the street and put them into the surgery suite), but it is quite easy to replace a cashier or janitor.

Likewise it is a lot easier to replace a developer than a CEO. How many people are qualified to step into a CEO role? There are a lot more people qualified to step into a developer role, so developers make less than CEOs.
That's not a circle. It's just a loop to highlight something. Mine on paper often come out wonky like that too.
I would look also at the seriously distorted property and land taxation system in California as an additional contributor along with zoning.

A few decades of Prop 13 have done an amazing amount of damage to the housing markets all over the state, by disincentivizing the sale of property. This has contributed heavily to reducing the supply of housing and distorting the market, among other problems.

If California made some modifications to it's taxation policy - perhaps lowering income and sales taxes while leveling the playing field on land taxation - home owners could come out paying a similar total tax bill while adding needed fluidity to the market.
Same. Usually it takes one of the companies that open up new products seeing what kind of RAM is on the logic board to know what a device has.
Isn't that what the entire article is about? That WSJ no longer gives access to Google users (and bots)?
Yes. Googlebot only crawls from legit addresses (even when their developers are trying new things) so it's an easy scraper/scammer signal to key off of.
OpenGL is also dead on Windows for UWP applications. The only available option is via ANGLE or stay on Win32 until it gets kicked out.
The WSJ is owned by Dow Jones & Company, which is profitable.
