Well, after googling "ICE car" i can see my mistake :)

Being german, i immediately associated ICE with the train of Deutsche Bahn[1] which probably do around that mileage...

I'm not sure I see the connection. The United States lucked into natural resources more plentiful than lots of other places in the world, that's true, but is it meaningful that a country be able to "feed itself"? Obviously it's a valuable thing to have, strategically, but I don't see how "they had lots of imports" is necessarily an indictment of an entire economic system. Nobody makes fun of Ireland for importing $5 billion+ in foodstuffs every year, it's just one of the things they're short of.

I'm surprised that trading stamp examples weren't mentioned.

Well, if you have made your account impossible for you, or anyone aside from certain employees of those companies, to access, the account is deleted. I mean, the social network MySpace, which still exists today (and is currently ranked #1,343 in the US by Alexa [0]), can have tons of data about you from 2006 to 2008, just as Yahoo Search can have tons of data about you from 1995 to 1998, but if you have completely stopped using both of those websites altogether, what's the value there?

Better yet, a girl you dated for the past 3 years but then broke up with could have tons of knowledge about you, and photos, and videos, but unless you're a politician, celebrity, or high-level business executive, where's the risk there? I'm not saying it's risk-free for everyone, but for the majority of people, it effectively is. Even just consider how Snapchat became so popular among teenagers over the last few years; new generations use new technologies, including, in this case, computer programs, which are now called apps, and even Windows 10 retrofitted that word from smartphones to desktop computers.

I don't remember receiving anything like this, even after taking months away from the platform.

Are you sure your internet profile elsewhere is not subjecting you to doxxing attempts? I know friends who are in publishing or blogging etc. with fairly well known profiles on the internet, and they seem to be targeted far more regularly with attempted unauthorised logins to their email and social media accounts.
Wow, $7,000 to recover a hard drive is a lot. Does it involve a lot of time-intensive labor?

Economically, I'm worried that since this service is free, people will submit drives that have nowhere close to thousands of dollars of value, because it's free so why not? Then if they're overloaded with requests, the company cannot prioritize which drives to save first. Maybe it would be better to offer a heavy discount rather than provide it for free?
I don't really like idolizing developers that much, especially calling them heros - because it puts a big mental divide between you and them, making you think you could never reach their level.

I do however never miss a post from Tom Dale and Yehuda Katz (when they are not ranting about politics), and Patrick McKenzie (when he's not ranting about cryptocurrencies).
Living in Shanghai, closing on 2000km on mobike only. Try going to the flower market on wanhangdu lu and you'll get an idea of the abuse of both bikes and pavement. I love the service and I think it's a fantastic alternative to pubic transports/taxi/DiDi but you can't deny the absolute lack of care of a lot of users.

I regularly see:
* Bikes locked with a separate lock
* Bikes parked inside compounds you can't access
* Bikes parked inside a building on any given floor (it's normal here for people to park their bike or electric scooter just outside their door even in high rise)
* Bikes parked on the street in the middle of traffic

Even with those behaviors, those companies have completely reshaped the way people move in Chinese cities.
They are fixing it, but NDK team seems to be a very small team, from the commits and gitHub issues.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/...

You can already use clang 5.0 on the NDK, so even early C++17 support is possible. I don't know about TLS support.

The NDK is only there for high performance graphics (vulkan), realtime áudio, SIMD and bringing native libraries from other platforms.

So apparently their motivation is that devs should touch the NDK as little as possible.
For a start, it's not USD (why on earth would an Australian organization talk about costs in USD?). And of course we know it includes requirements completely unrelated to ALPR, it connects to a bunch of existing databases and systems to do live tagging of stolen vehicles, vehicles owned by people with an active warrant or suspended license, etc.
Dutch license plates have similar properties. Not by changing the proportions of the letters, but by cutting out parts of letters. For example, the R is missing a piece so you can't make it from a P and some black tape: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Netherlands_licens...
I think this is the reason China and Russia have been hoarding gold and backing cryptocurrencies. They are waging an economic war against US hegemony by attacking their currency.

It is strategically timed too considering the US just spent the last 10 years printing money and expanding the balance sheet by 350%.
Great repetition of the monetarist fallacies.

Stop the poor buying things so the rich will suffer. They won't. They'll just sack the poor.

Unbelievable logic.

Money needs to be cheap to make capital investment work. The problem is banks lending for purposes other than capital development of the real economy.

If you want to fix things making lending proscribed and loans outside the proscription list ultra vires. Then the loans of the rich get called in, not the poor.
I'd be interested to hear your response to the point I made in my above comment in this thread. The fact that younger people increasingly view Facebook as uncool is a big problem facing the company; yes, Facebook Inc. still has Instagram, but Zuckerberg himself saw the rise of Snapchat, and tried to buy them out. The stock may be crap right now, but in terms of where people are sharing their minds and their lives (i.e. personal data), Snapchat is very relevant these days. In that way, it definitely does resemble Twitter; it's a very important part of the daily lives of tens of millions of people. I was about to say "daily online lives," but everyone is online for at least half the waking hours of their day now. (And for the record, virtually every B2C Internet stock stays below its IPO price in its first several months.)

I've got bluetooth headphones. I get tired of keeping them charged, so they never are. But I've got like 10 pairs of wired headphones around, and the convenience always wins. Headphone wires have never bothered me.

Sounds like a couple of great reasons to stop buying music to listen to on the phone, stop buying game apps, etc. And to stick with my current phone as long as possible.
No mention in this discussion thread yet about the keto diet and ketones being a better fuel source for the brain than glucose. After damage from a couple decades of sugar fueled coding, ketosis killed my brain fog and gave me back the mental endurance of a much younger man.

"Update of 02-09-2017"

That's a pretty bad title. First, update pertaining to what? Second, what date format is that?

I think a revised title mentioning "BTC-e" and "September 2, 2017" would be an improvement.

The murder thing gets brought up a lot, and it seems nonsensical to me for two reasons: First off, Russian communism gets blamed for millions of deaths, while American capitalism has never killed anyone. How many thousands of Americans die every year from lack of medical care? How many workers had their lives shortened (or ended) by unsafe working conditions? How many of those workers were children? How many millions will die of famine caused by runaway climate change that capitalists had no incentive to address? I'm not demanding answers, I just wanted to point out that if we're keeping score, we should consider both sides.

The other part that I can never square up in my head, particularly as it relates to the Holodomor and gulags and whatnot, is that those things don't seem particularly related to communism itself -- the starvation of the Ukrainians is a travesty, but one that was enabled by an authoritarian government, not a communist one. Unimaginably terrible things happened in the USSR, but was that because of communism, or because of the communist rulers?

Only moments ago, a new Windows 10 update killed my VirtualBox, forcing me to also upgrade VirtualBox to the newest available version. Fortunately the VB folks seem to care a lot about backwards compatibility - I'd be royally pissed if I had to also rebuild the guest system from scratch on a Sunday morning...

The point being, I see why constant updates are a necessity for anything Internet-connected - but it doesn't make me hate auto-updates any less.

For me, as a user and developer, this holds too, but what can one do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd imagine that phones are usually the easiest to recover, assuming the storage is not encrypted and the flash chip is not physically damaged. Just pop off the flash memory, pop into a socket, and go to town. No dealing with controllers or servo track or anything.
It's the other way around I think, telemetry isn't (wasn't?) on by default and I enabled it on purpose. And I'm a power user, that's why I don't use chrome (1k tabs here).

I had an issue where my phone would go from full battery to nearly dead after a day of idling unused in my desk drawer. The Android Battery app would just list "Android System, Android OS, etc" without pointing out any culprit app. I eventually figured out that Google Chrome was to blame and disabling Chrome (unable to uninstall it) fixed the problem. What was Chrome doing all day while my phone was sitting idle? I don't know, I never used Chrome as a brower, it's still a mystery to me.

Hangout was another problem app. Hangouts liked to crash, and after crashing it would leave something still going that would drain the battery unless I manually killed the Hangouts process.

These anecdotes are just to say I've found my battery problems are typically some app doing something bad without my knowledge. I'd like more strict control over background processes as well.

I'm not saying we should change human nature, it's impossible at the one human life scale. Just correcting this is not exactly an economics. But yes, of course business model should just keep this in mind. Even sharing economy can adapt to this requirement and still be profitable.

pacala,

It seems you don't understand what a sequence is. Formally, a sequence is a function whose domain is the natural numbers (or integers). A decimal expansion is simply a sequence whose codomain is the set of digits {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. I gave you just such a sequence.

Are you really going to continue disputing a basic mathematical fact?
Pinning threads to cores with affinity is another technique that should be used with caution. Under normal circumstances the kernel will run the same thread on the same core as much as possible because CPU migration is expensive.

Setting CPU affinity will ensure that you always get the same core, but it might not increase performance and could adversely affect other parts of the system.

CPU affinity is a good fit for continuously running things like audio processing or game physics or similar. It's not good when threads are blocked or react to external events.

In most cases it's just unnecessary because the kernel is pretty good in keeping threads on cores anyway.

Models like the one described in TFA bother me.

It's easy enough to write down an equation, estimate some of its parameters, and tell a story about it. The hard part is making a convincing case that the model actually resembles reality: that link is the missing piece that rarely appears in modelling exercises like this one.

Until you can make a convincing connection between reality and your model, all you're doing is solving equations and telling stories.

In my experience, the Google Play Services play a big role in that.

They get updated independent of the OS, which is in some ways a good thing, but does play a role in things gradually getting slower. My first phone for example became essentially unusable thanks to those, as my internal storage got completely filled up.

And it's Google's main-highway for collecting user data. It obviously takes battery and processing power to tell Google everything about you.

No mention of linux' pid_namespaces documentation ?

This guy seems to have his cards flat out on the table, open to all, that he wants nuclear war and he will start it as soon as his weapon systems can deliver it.

Hard to see how to avoid such an outcome when that's all he wants and all he's planned and planning for.

And when it comes of course then the U.S. will be blamed and it will be on for all.

And NK has spent many many years preparing for conventional war with SK so all the artillery and weapon systems are going to be dug underground and hidden. U.S. style bombing won't have much of on outcome and we've seen from Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam that boots on the ground wars don't go anywhere good.

Or they're bored out of their minds and trying to make their work not be so much of a waste of time.

Most of the stuff I've seen done at typical development companies are intellectually interesting maybe to people who really started learning to code on the job, and generally don't have much experience. They're discovering new things every day, so it's fun! However, if someone has already few languages and various types of projects behind them, then the job becomes much less technically challenging and much more repetitive.
He doesn't want nuclear war, he wants to go legitimate like Mao and the Chinese did. He wants NK to be treated like a legitimate world power, even if it's at the butt of a gun.
I've heard of sentence diagrams[0] which are tree-like structures used for checking grammatical correctness.

I'm not sure why you think they don't? Most IDE's do typically build a language-specific search index and keep it up to date as you edit. (That's the main difference between an IDE and a text editor, though the line is blurrier these days.)

Having taken Teitelbaum's compiler class as an undergrad, I was happy to ditch the IDE he inflicted on us and go back to text editors. Structured code editing is a tricky UI problem and I didn't find a really good IDE until many years later.

There's no one way to edit code. Sometimes refactoring tools work well, but typing text can be quite efficient too. Getting locked into a tree editor at the expression level is no fun.
There are editors that do this. Notable, Jetbrains MPS comes to mind. It looks like a text editor but once you use it you quickly notice that you're actually editing the abstract syntax tree directly.

It's cool, but it has some major downsides too. For example, MPS stores the source as XML, not text (since it isn't text, it's a tree). This makes lots of basic tools we've taken for granted a lot harder, such as git merging etc. They've had to make a custom mergetool just to make basic collaborative coding feasible.

I bet there's other ways around that, all I'm saying is that text has major, major upsides because of the enormous ecosystem support.
Why would he or anyone in NK want a nuclear war? Do they think that anyone of them will come out alive if they try to attack South Korea or Japan?

> they're not bound by pragmatic concerns.

99% of the time, if you want to go pragmatic, you should buy a ready-made solution (and then possibly adapt it to your use case). It's efficient (especially if you need the problem solved to make money) - but it's no fun.
I'm not sure about Djibouti.

Kuwait paid about $16B after the first Gulf War and continues to pay for US troops based there. It's unclear how much that is, but Japan (for example) pays $2B a year to keep US troops in Japan.

That's independent of things like international trade being executed in US dollars, which is why the US can control World trade: at some point everything needs US dollars. That's why US sanctions are so effective and why people who are very rich and powerful still hate being sanctioned.
