It doesn't. I've been an Android user since the Nexus One. Android ran amazing on that phone, on pretty much every Nexus phone, and on my Pixel. It ran like crap on the LG G2x, a phone so flawed they lost a class action lawsuit about it. It ran mediocre on my Galaxy S2 and S4, but much better once I used Cyanogenmod. It ran beautifully on my Moto X Gen 1.

Android, just like iOS or any other OS, requires non-crap hardware (not amazing, just well designed) and an OEM that doesn't bloat it up with tons of crap. Newer versions of iOS run like crap on older iPhones, because the OS is designed for newer hardware. Android runs beautifully on well designed hardware, even inexpensive hardware like the Moto G. It runs great without bloated skins and shovelware that "adds value".
I actually have a friend who taught in the UK for two years. While I'd have to ask him for the specifics, he told me there was a lot of gaming the system so people would get their bonuses.
On the other side of the fence here. I've been on vanilla Google phones since the Android Nexus. I have a Nexus 6P now, which was the flagship of that generation.

Between Google knowing my porn fetishes and the increasing number of issues & bizarre bugs (severe battery degradation, performance issues during normal usage, random freezes, photos occasionally not saving properly and getting corrupted) plus no security updates after 2 years, I've just about had it.
geometric data is a username, not a password
I've been annoyed at this for a while too, but I've noticed that if you put your search terms in quotes, that almost always fixes it. I have yet to see any existing search results disappear without the website they link to also disappearing. If only Google indexed the web archive...
I agree with you, these companies are stealthily interposing themselves between each of us and the rest of society. purchasing, interpersonal relationships, families, sex and dating, eating.

we have chosen to be faust for no reason. gretchen is a $20 coupon for a marriot suite restrictions apply.

but I'm afraid that if you deny people that choice, however stupid a choice it might be, its just as dehumanizing as being manipulated by Facebook.
Saving implies you can actually do/buy something with what you've saved.
I'm very much fear-based, especially re political matters - I fear the rising levels of carbon dioxide; and even more, the death of the oceans from everything we pour into it (including what hurricanes drag into it.) There's plenty to fear.

It's fearing something that causes far fewer deaths than asthma so much you'll throw away the rights that underpin democracy, that's what's crazy; not fear. We won't even ban artificial fragrances, re asthma, much less toss away all privacy.
I am not sure how much you really see what the OP is asking...

The OP is asking, what will happen when a generation of human are indulged in useless idols.

Then you continue to describe an industry out of useless idols and their fans...

Hack, I am not surprised by this type of apparently startlingly myopic vision of human society. It seems everything is just for profit. No matter how stupid the thing is, if there is a chance for profit, then go for it.

In the end, who can answer the simple question:
Who create the value to drive the profit?
I don't know where these numbers come from. I just looked it up and my subscription to all IDEs JetBrains had to offer is $149/year. Given how much time I spend in RubyMine and IntelliJ this is a great price. Even if I wouldn't every once in a while use AppCode and DataGrip as well.

My only issue is lack of good Rust support.
Free speech under siege [video]
Well, what's "Take 5"? I mean, five is being used as an ordinal not a cardinal. Normally, to give an ordinal sense to a normal number you need to follow some noun. So "Chapter 3", "Level 8", "Freeway 5". And then we're not specifying what kind of thing it is, so "Take 5".

Btw. It's nice if you omit the word "linguistically". It's good to remember that just because you speak a language, that's not the same as being an expert on language science. Any more than because you inhabit a body, you're an expert on physics.
Yeah, the impression that I get is that TS has won as well. Initially it really offered a lot more than Flow, e.g. things like Definitely Typed, and I think that's become a feedback loop (i.e. more people are interested in TS because it already has a bigger community and more to offer, and thus it has as bigger community and more to offer...)
"Orbits of planets were calculated long before General Relativity"

Interesting you would say that. They were calculated and the orbit of Mercury was not predicted correctly according to Newtonian Physics. Using Einstein's general relativity, the calculations matched observations.
Has anyone wrote "ML in ML" yet?
> With regard the "how to escalate?" issue: The company still struggles with corner cases like this. When you're building systems that cater for billion+ users, you have to look at systematic ways to deal with incoming requests such that the set of requests that need human intervention is as small as possible (assuming you don't want a company with millions of employees).

Maybe part of the lesson here is that it's simply impossible to scale to a billion+ users.
~$300 US/week. $400 for my doctor, but my doctor comes to my house. That also enables me to attend a couple of group sessions that I never go to.

I literally stomped around the planet with forged prescription stickers (they go on the box) on a couple dozen boxes of fentanyl patches, long-since expired insulin (I'm not diabetic), and insulin needles.

The closest inspection that I got, customs noticed that I had no test strips and told me where to get them. I got away with this for years.

That really speaks to the difference between having money and not having money. Nice suit, flew in on first class, costly luggage, paperwork in order, frequent traveler with appropriate length stays, and just about half the legal limit in cash. Imagine the stereotypical junkie trying to do that.

Good luck when you get off. I know this is moving into off topic, but, seriously watch out for the depression. Have someone else note any behavioral differences, maybe? Be mindful of your own physiological cues, perhaps? I don't actually have depression issues, or any diagnosable mental health problems besides addiction, I just like being high. I wasn't treating anything but boredom.

I seriously wish you the best of luck. Email is uninvolved@outlook.com if you need to yell at the wind.
But unfortunately, most of the ~27 million businesses in North America don't care at all about Bitcoin.
Thank you. I hate that "science" takes credit for a ton of things that are actually discovered / perfected by engineers.
When I checked a few years ago, Youtube was still not actually profitable. There's a reason it's owned by the company that spins off so much free cash it doesn't know what to do with it all, I guess.
Can any with more knowledge of fonts offer some insight on how this actually works? I'm guessing they're doing something clever with ligatures?

The "how it works" section doesn't really explain anything, it's more of a "how to use it".
There are things like Yunohost and, I think, sandstorm.io
> WindTalker presents a novel approach to collect the target's CSI data by deploying a public WiFi hotspot.

If you don't join public WiFi hotspots, this isn't a danger.

Yes pins are not foolproof. They are however still better than facial scans or thumb scans.
Sure they do. Philadelphia calls it a "wage tax", but it's an income tax. https://beta.phila.gov/news/department-of-revenue/city-annou...
For example look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15231085

Where is the reason that ever of my comments in that comment chain was originally voted to -4?

I jist don't get it. It's not attacking anyone, providing additional information about the parent comment, and factually correct (as another user even provides a cdc source later on)
These numbers from hackerrank say that 14% of American devs are women, but 23% of Indian devs. Which puts Google right in between those two numbers like we expect.

One hour before birth is it human?

If so how far back do you go before it's not human, is a fertilized embryo human?

If not, whats the difference post birth?

We know many animals are more intelligent than babies. My point is, it's a pointless comparison. Babies don't represent anything human.

And as per the monkey (in this case) can't create. It's the situation they are put in that can create the art. They are just the tool.
It probably didn't help that it took a long time for flow to be usable on windows.
I use db-migrate but I have corresponding ...-{up,down}.sql files for each migration and write the migrations in SQL.
You can hardly blame them for this situation though. They obviously have to do work to keep the IDE up to date.
All of the above, although I think millennials and Gen Z are demonstrably worse when it comes to vanity.

My mother's a 2nd grade teacher and does the usual "what do you want to be when you grow up?" bit each year. The last couple years she's had a very significant number of her students say "YouTube or Instagram star" instead of the usual firefighter/police officer/doctor/soldier/etc. (Also not the most disturbing trend to come from her recent batch(es) of kids.)

I'm really glad our country is at place where being funny on a social media website is enough to make a good living, but I can't help but feel there's something missing—something keeping them grounded.

I get that boomers and Gen Xers are vain—I love to rag on them, and, really,
we all are vain to some extent—but millennials and Gen Z seem to be taking it to a different level.
Two-phase name lookup support comes to MSVC – Visual C++ Team Blog
The plan is to remove that next year and sell it as iPhone X1. You want to this milk this for profit every year.
I used large cardinal axioms as [the canonical] example of any axiom stronger than standard mathematical foundations.

A contrived example: there are certain large cardinal axioms that imply the consistency of ZFC. Thus ZFC cannot prove those axioms unless ZFC is inconsistent (Godel's incompleteness theorem). Consider the following problem: "If ZFC can prove 1=0 in n steps, output 1. Else, output 0." A naive solution would brute-force search all ZFC-proofs of length n. A faster solution would be: "Ignore n and immediately output 0." This is correct, because ZFC never proves 1=0. You could formally verify the correctness by using certain large cardinal axioms, but not using raw ZFC.
Finland has seen a clear decline in literacy after the emergence of smartphones in the last decade (every child past 7 has one).

Although, to be fair, the direct effect is explained by increased inequality:

Yet, I know how digital shit affects me. I'm not talking about the devices themselves, I'm talking about being flung up by some stupid pointless shit in social media or by the colorfull game which totally hijacks the reward mechanisms in my brain.

I totally fail to see how the effects which promote shallow, fast reward seeking cognition are not not detrimental... yeah yeah, it sounds like greeks whining about reading spoiling the mind but the difference is that our media is engineered to distact and hijack the mind for no valuable outcome whatsoever.

Sure, there are lots of positive effects but that does not mean one should not discuss the negative ones as well.
Kik could pave the way for more mainstream tech company ICOs
I'm sure the fact that flow is considered more tired to react while typescript is considered more agnostic helps as well (I've not explored flow so I don't know whether it is tied to react or not but I do think that's the impression).
>I hope for good. But, I honestly don't know.

I love how Google handles their customers. They just block/remove without any warning, don't respond when asked and reinstate if they have to without any apology or explanation.
FYI android oreo is getting high quality Bluetooth support.
How does that work? You put a piece of tape over the front-facing camera?
Yeah, my point isn't that I have calculated the X factors leading to the opium explosion but that the causes are multidimensional and economic insecurity combined with rapacious companies magnify all the other factors.
Did they botch the Mac Air upgrade similar to the Pro now? Or is it still usable?
Unless you believe Apple is lying, that information is never sent to them. The hardware is designed such that, with TouchID at least, it's never even seen by the CPU on the phone.

If you do believe Apple is lying and is secretly phoning home with your personal information, then I think you'd have bigger problems than fingerprints; I would be more concerned about surveillance on everything you do with the phone.
There's that but there's also just the simple trajectory, and momentum our laws, and law makers have. That is there are multiple actors in society that have self-interests, whether that be getting reelected next election cycle, or getting the shweet government contracts to run your business. The confluence of all those independent actors may act towards similar behaviors, and that produces a sort of illusion of "Deep-state ventriloquists". Think invisible hand. It's just that everyone is essentially forced to make the same kind of logical next step decisions due to environmental constraints, like economy, laws, etc.
The guide is split into separate sections for clang (cross-compiling), MSVC, clang-cl, and WSL. Compiled swift binaries can be native windows executables when using the non-WSL compilers.
I shared your skepticism of Snapchat (I use Instagram pretty often and browse Facebook multiple times a day - rarely post on it). I recently hopped on the Snapchat bandwagon and here are a couple of things I really liked:

> Less focus on metrics. There is no likes and you only see views if you really want to. This is bad for influencers but I have to give it that it is a good break from Instagram/Facebook where people are conscious of likes.

> Its fun. The filters and emoji are better on Snapchat. The maps feature is cool - I used it to browse snaps by Harvey/Irma victims. The Discover section has crappy publications but there is NYT, Mashable, WSJ, etc. I pay for WSJ but I still like to read news in the Snapchat format.

On the downside, the app is buggy and does crash pretty often for a 1.8k strength company.
There are a few kids who end up gaining success out of vanity.

But so so so many kids destroy their lives chasing popularity. Looks like more and more kids will learn it the hard way.
I literally defend literal Nazis. The Nazis hate me but they actually seem slightly less hyperbolic than those who dislike that I defend their basic human rights.

The White Nationalists tell me they'd kick me out of the country, which is funny because I'm mostly Native American. The others (I don't have a name for them) tell me that I don't even have a right to support their right to free expression. I'd rather be told that I'm hated then be told I have no right to speak.

Really, I think we can pretty much all agree that the Internet is largely a basic human right. With that, so shouldn't other protections apply. I think it's probably going to take regulation to get beyond this. I'm kind of hoping it's sensible regulation but it seems destined to happen eventually.
propagandistic control

That's not actually a thing.

AT&T was a government-created monopoly that not only directly prevented (not indirectly, via hand-wavy causal chains) the emergence of competitors to its monopoly, but even directly suppressed the emergence of competitive collateral markets that relied on telephony services.

Monopolies aren't bad in themselves. Both common sense and the law require that monopolies be broken up only when abused. And you need to be concrete about the market and the abuses. Every business enjoys some kind of monopoly in some dimensions because our economy is finite, not to mention time and geography. If you went around destroying monopolies you'd be breaking up companies left and right all day long.

Of all things to care about, supposed monopolies in social media are the last the thing people should care about. The rise of Breitbart is all the proof you need that there's nothing to "fix". You don't breakup companies because you want a particular outcome or merely dislike the status quo; it's foolhardy to think you can engineer a particular outcome, and foolhardy to even want to try.

The closest parallel to historic breakups would be Google, given it's dominance of online advertising. But while they throw their weight around, AFAIU there's hasn't been any substantial abuse (or even credible accusations of substantial abuse). Probably because while dominant, they don't actually hold a monopoly or participate in an oligopoly that has the capability to close-off access to the market to newcomers.

People seem to care about supposed social media monopolies because of the bike shed effect. Everybody uses Facebook and Twitter (except some of us), and so everybody has an opinion and believes they're capable of making an informed judgment call. That's the worse way to drive policy.
In Rails, for concurrent index creation, the add_index method supports the "algorithm" option.

Vs. rapper, or sports player? An IG / youtube star is being a lower-middle class celebrity, which is actually a first in many ways.
The value is the entertainment escape (dopamine rush) that meme or idol generates in your synapses. Typically a YouTube idol has to have done something interesting e.g. Music etc.. so it's a creative space. Cat chez burgers was a big meme factory at one point doing millions.

Buy an ad and your customer might remember it. Create a meme and you live forever.
True, but then I have a charger in car, in bag, at desk.

I can plug it in for 15 mins anywhere and have a good enough charge for rest of today.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

-- Some Greek Guy, like really long time ago.
The "algorithm" seems very much in bed with American military industry.
Funny how addicts are always pro legalization.
Entertainment isn't really an industry though. It produces nothing of real value and relies on being financed by those who do.

There is a reason Bollywood is a more profitable "industry" than Hollywood, and it's not because their product is better. It's because their society actually nets a profit from production that they can then spend on leisure.

If our best and brightest young children become internet celebrities because it made good sense, then there won't be anyone to keep the gears grinding.

Worse than that, on instagram you're still the product being sold even when you're then one being followed.
If I'm reading the article correctly, they didn't abolish the procedure, just Jeff Sessions's attempted expansion of it.

Why hasn't the whole thing just been banned outright? It contorts any notions of fairness and sensibility in our legal system that an item can have charges brought against it, and that there is no due process or other recourse for the owner.
Salespeople in the tech space in SF start on about $70k (first year) and can expect to get to $200 (all in) after 5-7 years. Top reps aren't going find it hard to get $250k+ by their early 30s.

I don't know a huge amount about engineering salaries, but my guess is they're actually pretty similar across the board (although engineers start a lot higher).

I've done sales recruiting for about a year. I've only ever talked to one guy who's made more than $1m in a year. He was on a base of $125 or $150k. Last year he made $750k, and the year before that $1m.

But if you're a rep who's truly making $1m+ a year, you probably aren't planning on jumping ship anytime soon.
Even if it did, would it get signed into law by Donald?
You might wish to look into the history of journalism. I've written about this before, but there really wasn't a golden age of journalism. This doesn't mean good journalism didn't exist, just that there have always been biased sources.

Head to your local library and hit the archives. From yellow journalism to papers owned by political parties, bias and dishonesty has always been a problem.
There is no real "inevitable" with climate change. More CO2 in the atmosphere will cause higher temperatures. There may be a "tipping point" where a little more CO2 will cause the system to shift dramatically to a higher temperature. But we sure don't know where that is. To give up trying to do anything about climate change (lower emissions, geoengineering, etc.) because it is inevitable we will have 2 degrees of temperature rise no matter what, is to loose track of the fact that 2 degrees would be much better 5 degrees which is much better than 10 degrees.
