I am surprised that they still only include a 5W charger. Especially when they advertise fast charging with the 29W charger. Would have been good time to include 15W USB-C charger and USB-C to Lightning cable.
I don't know how they wouldn't. Hell, genetically they are probably similar enough that a DNA test can't tell the difference.
With the family tablet yes, my phone hell no!

There are 10B birds born per year in the US. In Nature pretty much everything is a food for the next level in the food chain, and there is no family&friends funerals. The more weak/ill/old - the higher probability to become predator's dinner. We don't have dead old birds littering the streets of cities. Somebody takes care about it.

And as you see from your own link cats mostly eat smalls mammals. Around humans it is mice and rats mostly. Rats do enjoy bird eggs and there is no protection here, until of course somebody takes care about the rats, like for example cats do.

As result cats do positive service to the birds population. The population which somehow manages to survive the urban and agricultural development - the main dangers for the wildlife causing population decimation and extinctions.

And island extinctions, really? So the cats brought by humans should have just committed suicide by starving themselves? Of course things can easily go wrong in any small system when the system gets severe kick from outside. And humans do just that to various eco-systems. How many species on various islands got extinct once humans reached those islands?
There was a Planet Money episode [1] where a bank setup a no-interest loan to a Muslim family because Islamic law prohibits charging interest.

In the end it was basically just a workaround that was effectively the same as charging interest and that same Muslim family ended up taking a conventional loan when they moved instead of an "Islamic-compliant" mortgage because it was a lot easier.

There's a very interesting "Cuba Document"[1] that hints at something else happening in the background of 2013;

On April 4th, the head of the Russian FSB in Cuba traveled to Ecuador and met with Ecuadoran intelligence agents to "address issues of bilateral cooperation". Notes from this meeting and the credentials of the Russian team ended up in a file marked "Assange" at the Ecuadoran embassy in London.

On April 5th, Snowden sent his only email about his concerns to the NSA. Through the rest of the month, he starts downloading all of the documents.

In Mid-May, he flees to Hong Kong with the documents he's exfiltrated. In June, he flies to Moscow using an Ecuadorean travel document, where he plans to connect on a flight to Cuba.

After US pressure, Cuba and Ecuador both agreed not to grant him asylum, but it's suspicious that a note detailing Cuban FSB agents meeting with Ecuadorean reps ends up in Julian Assange's file on the day before Snowden starts his exfil op.

Though I think one of the takeaways of this study and others is that frequent small breaks/exercise sessions are better than few big ones.
> I still consider C# best language I ever learned.

Thus you clearly have not learned F#, nor any other (superior) Standard ML descendant (e.g. OCaml or Rust).

(Why is F# inferior, you ask? CLR interoperation requires using types and datastructures defined in C# code, which overall mean that you will use an unidiomatic style. Hence, F# is basically "a usually-less-annoying C#", unlike other SML-likes. Except Scala, whose best description is "F# on the JVM".)
It's likely Rawls' case will make it to the Supreme Court. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
I have to believe it's where they are heading, I just really thought we would be there by now!
Hmm, I guess I could just not carry a phone. Or just have it factory reset every morning automatically and not put any personal data on it. I hardly store anything on my phone anyway and use it pretty rarely so it wouldn't make much difference. What a world we live in.
> This blog post feels like the documentation at MDN, tedious and unclear.

This feels like an undeserved swipe to me. How many developers prepend their searches with "mdn" when they need info on browser APIs?
Bu you would have 1:1000000 chances to get into someone elses phone. With 7 billion people in the world it's not so crazy.
Hey question. Currently, if an officer has you under arrest they go through your phone. With a strong password, they tend to give up. With FaceID wont they just put it to your face and unlock it?
It is the newsroom's site.
> Plenty of content will use a black bar, especially 16:9 video.

Huh? I'm not sure I follow. By default video playback does not unless you manually resize it. Apple's updated language means you can't explicitly do this to cover those gaps with a black bar, either.

It's not exactly the best user experience if I have to manually resize videos smaller to fit the screen properly.

> Even if those little regions were always black you'd still have more pixels than Apple's previous phones.

That would be great but Apple does not approve of that as per their updated language in their ToS for developers. You can't just fill it in with black bars (otherwise I would agree with you though I would argue Apple should have ways to automatically handle that).
The one thing that everyone besides a quite limited group of people is asking for many years - battery - gives no change.

Give people 1-week battery life. Otherwise just stay a gizmo.
Anecdotally, as a user, I actually noticed this two weeks ago when certain ads started to feel like they were following me around in other subreddits. It creeped me out enough and was annoying enough (ex: I don't want to hear about tech jobs when I'm browsing my sports subreddits; it reminds me of work) that I finally unwhitelisted reddit. Prior to this, I had reddit as one of the very few whitelisted sites on my adblockers because I felt like the advertising was in good faith. That it was actually pretty relevant sometimes. It's sad to read that I wasn't just being paranoid.
As long as it's Electron-based, that's basically impossible.
It's entirely possible to be a libertarian who doesn't believe in civil courts. Arguably, it's possible to not believe in having a police force or justice department, either. Any amount of government is sufficient for libertarianism to exist. What the government is allowed to do and under what circumstances and in what ways depends wholly upon which libertarian you ask.
From the footnote, fast charging works with the USB-C chargers. That means it is possible it supports USB-PD like the iPad Pro. It does mean that fast charging requires the Apple 29W charger. But should also work with any USB-C charger.
For anyone who may be struggling with chronic pain and/or opioid addiction, I implore you to research kratom. As far as anyone can tell, it is safe, minimally addictive, and in my experience it is good for head pain, stomach pain, anxiety, minor depression, not to mention potentiation of all kinds of other drugs.

Of course, use at your own risk. It may interact dangerously with many compounds, because it inhibits the cytochrome p450 enzyme. That said, after a six month up to three times a day habit, I've quit cold turkey twice without too much trouble.

I recommend I highly if you're out of other options.

One last warning, do not buy in person, you will be ripped off. You can get 250g for less than $30 online, and a dose for pain is 1-2 grams. Higher doses are mildly psychoactive, but OD is anecdotally impossible because you quickly become nauseaus and throw the powder up if you take in excess of 8-10+grams.
Go for Rubyits
This gizmo is the best selling watch in the world, so maybe everyone isn't asking for more battery life?
What exactly is "your phone"? Is it that physical mass of circuits and lithium ions in your hand? Or is it the bits making up the user-land data you've accumulated on it over time?

"Do you think that's air you're breathing?" ;-)

What I dislike most is handing someone "my phone" for them to use for a minute and they are actually using my phone. If they authenticated and were immediately interacting with their phone I have no problem sharing the hardware for a minute when the wife/kids want to do something briefly on it.
I know people with very dry hands who have this problem. Maybe due to cracked skin?

Wet hands also cause problems, but wet beyond sweaty.
try F#
Why would I, as a site owner, want to cede control of the comments that are associated with my site? If, for example, a comment was just a string of racial slurs, there's no way in hell I would want that associated with my site, and I would want that deleted as soon as possible, regardless if you would want to see it.
I love Mozilla's efforts and I think this is an important area to improve.

But, as petty and selfish as it sounds, I wish it were built in my development language of choice. Then I could modify and use it myself, or contribute, without that irrational dirty feeling.

I know, node is very popular, and no disrespect to you if you use it. It's a personal failing. I just can't put my personal time into it any more. When I see a great project I get excited, and search out the source to see what it's written in. Then I often feel disappointed. Maybe I need to gain some flexibility.
Would you say that Google never implemented maps correctly?

If not then what the GP said doesn't apply.

Of course we could talk about the fact that Google was demanding all sorts of user data from Apple and wanted the ability to display ads on top of the maps… But people never talk about that. And Apple replace the head of the division that messed it up.

Just Apple is mean.
Yes, they have failed so far. It's not all screen. It's got a small bezel and the sensor notch at the top. They will need to develop different materials to support a strong bezel-free phone and sensors that sit inside/behind the screen. They are not there yet.
Heh, I run my own mail server.

I don't think Slashdot offered the kind of users that early Reddit founders wanted to seed their userbase with. But, I can't prove that, so I'll have to take your word for it that Reddit would have been open to the idea except for the quality of the imagined software.

I've been purposely gentle because I'm a long-time Reddit user -- I remember when comments were turned on for the first time -- and although I still think the main folks behind Reddit are pretty cool and built something really big that has had incalculable impact, I also have a lot of old axes to grind and I don't want your honest question to turn into an opportunity for me to do that.

But.

Your response here has essentially been, "everything's fine, you can just moderate the content, we provide the tools to do that. Maybe this is just a marketing problem."

It's not just a marketing problem.

Moderators have publicly castigated Reddit admins on multiple occasions over the tooling they have available (example from quick search: https://np.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/3byxtg/regardi...). Articles titled "Reddit is tearing itself apart" have been published on sites with widespread readership (http://gizmodo.com/reddit-is-tearing-itself-apart-1789406294). There was that GameOfTrolls subreddit that openly harassed other subreddits and Reddit administration plainly ignored it for quite a while until they finally stepped over some fine line in the site rules.

A publication like WaPo would certainly be a target for that kind of abuse. I would have to assume that whoever is involved in making decisions about comments on their site must be at least a little bit aware of the potential for abuse here. They were one of the first (or the first?) to have their own profile page. They grok Reddit, and they decided not to have Reddit embedded into their site. That's just not a marketing problem.

Reddit administration made a decision early on to take a hands-off approach to community management. One of the consequences of that is that a significant part of Reddit's community is the sort of culture that sites like the Washington Post don't want to have to spend their time dealing with, and the moderation tools Reddit provides are just not good enough to make up for it.
Which do you pick as your default for new encounters?
I have an iPad. If I get this watch why do I need an iPhone too?
> Apple has always been on the forefront of technology, with things like Retina displays, long before other vendors. I think they should've been there with 4K too.

They used to be. That is generally untrue for the last 5 or so years with only minor exceptions (mostly limited to the iPhone).
>The bigger number is at the bigger end, that's the whole point of the symbols.

It probably has to do with how it was taught. I was never taught "the bigger number is at the bigger end", it was simply "> means greater than and < means less than" and we were supposed to memorize that. The alligator mneumonic is just a way of recovering the original meaning.
That's probably more than paid use taxes on out-of-state purchases.
The main point they were trying to make is that nobody cares, disciplined elitists are irrelevant, and everyone can realize their creative vision now. Thats what matters right?

Thats why the elitists originally got into the craft right?
Who decide that the OSI definition is the actual definition ?
Unlike your kilogram example, there are actually plenty of people that use/prefer the simpler definition, sure there will some struggle but that is expected.

That's why they should not use such simple and common words to define complex software licensing.
Alfred Nobel was an arms manufacturer, that's literally putting profits about society's well being.
But they're still associated with that site, and that musician.
First time auth on new hardware would certainly ask for at least a PIN but more likely your iCloud password. For the encryption keys to transfer I think you would also have to allow the request from some other device which currently held them.

The Secure Element would need to be upgraded to support "multi-tenancy".

That's all assuming the feature works by building on the existing infrastructure.

Ideally between your face and your iCloud password you could bring your "profile" to new hardware without having to touch an existing device. After the first time, just your face is enough.
Nice... perhaps you could make this an option for the advertiser, i.e. run your ad in Specific or Related subreddits. Best of both worlds and more control for customer.
> Instead, why not a dummy profile that's complete with user activity, social media presence, and showing active harmless use? Why not multiple profiles?

And where do you suppose this data will come from? Maintaining something of a plausible and active social media presence is not without it's efforts, nor is creating a profile that would stand up to some scrutiny.

If people aren't really looking it won't matter much, but if they are and getting something that seems fake it might end getting you in much more trouble.
To clarify my comment, I wasn't intending to slight the science behind LIGO, nor the scientists working on the project. Rather, I was trying to mean that the main challenge to detecting gravitational waves was "merely" building a detector sensitive enough to detect signals as faint as gravitational waves were predicted to be.

The original post here is talking about reproducible results and p-values and publishing. Is LIGO a particularly good example of that part of science being done well? I don't know either way.
I'm surprised this got so many upvotes before it was flagged. The site is off the rails crazy and doesn't cite sources for its primary claim.
I use cruise control on my 2012 Honda all the time.

Am I putting myself in danger?
Does Hugo support partials? An equivalent of frontmatter? Slim Lang?
On the contrary, it's probably part of their operating plans. Electricity and other creature comforts of modern society give people the free time needed to plan a revolt.

It's in their interests to keep the people alive yet stagnant.
Fuck, that is absolutely nauseating.

What's worse is that trustworthy deniable encryption - which would solve this - is practically non-existent now that TrueCrypt is gone.
I think so, but it depends on "big". You probably can get to $20-50 million without much in the way of sales. They did have reasonable marketing.

It's when they started targeting the mass market, getting funding, removing features their early adopters loved (eg. wiki syntax in Confluence) that they needed a sales force. But that was necessary for their plan to scale. They're still not huge ($600 million is excellent but not Red Hat).
One of the reasons was that on newer phones (the 6S and the 7) Touch ID was so fast that it was hard to even see the lock screen. If you use the home button to wake up the phone then you would be authenticated and the screen would go away before you had a chance to see anything.

Their solution was to split it into two different steps.

You have the same issue with Face ID. If the "lock screen" went away as soon as you look at your phone you could never actually look at the notifications there.

Clearly they had to do something. Does this work well? I guess we'll find out when the reviews come out.
About the only camera that I know of that will currently saturate the bitdepth of a 14-bit ADC/RAW with DR at base ISO is a Sony A7S II, so right now, yeah, shooting in JPEG is the real issue.

This will change in the next few years.

Given over a month to examine the breach in private, you'd think they would have checked and remediated this massive security flaw. It makes me wonder, did anyone working on the Argentina site know about the US breach? Did anyone try raising a flag saying, "Hey guys... maybe we should change this admin/admin login?"

And if so, what were they responded with?

There are just too many questions to ask, and I'd love for every single one of them to be answered with honesty, but my hope at this point is dwindling.

Everything in the news about Equifax just exclaims all the worst possible words one can use to describe a company.
I believe for this to be a 1031 you would need a qualified intermediary to handle the USD portion. Once you touch the funds, you've broken the exchange.
I don't see my credit card as "another bill"; in fact I use it to autopay as well as make daily purchases, so it becomes "the only bill" (or, one of the only).

Yeah, you can autopay on debit cards too, but I don't trust that as much.

Purchase protection is pretty common on good credit cards.
Isn't this now Mastodon? If it's not actually connected to the site in question?

"My advice in this case would be to create a moderator stream that the end users can subscribe to."

That sounds like a pretty complex thing to do, which doesn't solve the problem of, "The comments on my site are overrun with people posting racial slurs."

"In this case the site owners would be able to moderate comments through voluntary cooperation with its users, but it wouldn't be able to censor opinions that it didn't agree with, because the end users would always be in control of how its stream is filtered and would always be able to verify that on-topic posts aren't censored."

I don't believe that's actually a problem, though. You can always go make your own site if you want your voice heard.
Your assuming that your other measurement devices don't have any significant error rates.

And that the gobblygook of UT1, UT2, etc, is actually meaningful.
sounds like you experienced a 0th world problem
Same here, a tiny bit underwhelmed, not underwhelmed enough to get a Google Pixel successor for Daydream. If my cellular provider gives a decent upgrade and monthly payment plan, then I won't mind that it costs the same as an entry level macbook.

I'm glad the Iphone X is smaller than the Plus line, and has a more advanced dual camera system with the addition of a fast point cloud. That's good enough for me, I skipped the 7 because the smaller model didn't have the depth camera, and the bigger model was too big.

Face ID is marginally interesting, would like to use the API for more. I mean A FREAKING POINT CLOUD IN YOUR PHONE! Good bye Kinect! I can't wait to hover my hand over the screen for gestures, please open up the APIs.
That's not anonymity, that's pseudonymity.
The Nintendo Switch is a good example - it has a headphone jack but no bluetooth headphone support.
I agree but keep in mind that this same principal applies to TouchID, which is what FaceID is replacing. FaceID is so much better than TouchID in so many aspects. Less false positives, it works even if your fingers are wet, and it's a natural behavior to look at the screen.

Both TouchID and FaceID is trying to protect from complete stranger. I know that with FaceID (if it does exactly what the video suggests) it will be a harder challenge to unlock.
Imagine going long - very long - with a stash that big.

The pundits-in-the-know often semi-seriously state they expect 1 BTC to rise to $100,000 USD within 10 years - looking at the past 5 years that's not an unreasonable statement to make. This is based on BTC's deflationary nature, and its increasing prevelance in the world. Imagine if you owned one 28,000,000th of the Internet economy - that would still be a lot of money. What if you owned 10x or 100x of that? In BTC it's still an amount affordable by a large organisation or nation state, but in 10 years' time it would be like having your own Fort Knox.
Only in the sense that someone who makes a Wix site that says "Neil Young Sux" is associated with Neil Young.
My favorite now is how the national debt goes up every time FBI/NSA spends more money. Which of course causes more money to be printed.
why couldn't you do that with a computer or an ipad, or an older iphone? ofc you could. Just Apple being really greedy, as we are getting used to
Apple specifically called out skiing and boarding in the keynote when they mentioned the altimeter. Which I'm really excited for!

Plus the current generations work fine in alpine conditions, from personal experience.

> Are there site that do that?

Not news or commenting related, but a site like Newgrounds [0] (i.e. flash games and videos) has this feature. As you participate in the community more and contribute high-quality ratings, enforcement, etc. you gain more influence, making your votes carry more weight. Therefore an account that has been involved with the site for some time may carry more weight than a few new troll accounts.

It seems like a good model, but may still need occasional moderator intervention to prevent abuse here and there.

I'd say for most of us in the US it's a non-issue -- you either have it, or you don't, and that hasn't changed a ton in the past few decades. I don't go around thinking "man, if I was in Sweden, I'd ALSO have health care just like I do today".
Maybe because every worthy watch brand has hundreds of models of watches, instead of one?
Yes, actually :) That's a crucial distinction.
1. It's 6 digits now, and not 4.

2. I can also better hide myself entering the pin

3. As mentioned in other places, unlike a fingerprint or face; you can easily change pin codes.

In an ideal world, facial recognition or touch id would serve as identification in addition to the pin code.
