The leaks tend to be a consequence of their supply chain not being able to keep tight lips more than anything else. One approach to combat that would be to announce a product well in advance of production, but then you have announcements followed by six or more months of production ramp-up. Which is obviously awful.

Until Apple is able to bring much more in-house, which they can't realistically do in most cases involving manufacturing, the leaks are inevitable.

If you want to maintain the magic for yourself, though, that's simpler: don't look at Macrumors or what have you :)
In regards to your last paragraph, I'd like to mention that we made use of electricity while still having erroneous ideas about the electron. We even made use of it before the electron was theorized.

I'd also like to mention that I am a scientist, albeit retired. I'm wrong more times, by 09:00, than most people are all day. I have no reason to believe we are at some sort of apex of knowledge.

The other day, they released findings that showed they can mathematically predict quantum chaos. I'm still pondering the implications. There is so much we don't know, and that's a great thing.
Nobody here is saying that Apple was the first to add cellular capability to their watches. They're just glad to see it as a new feature.
Yep, but laptops are treated with way more caution and attention. Phones are constantly whipped in and out, left on tables or benches, used around kitchens, toilets, swimming pools...
I think you're onto something. If you check the "other" responses for NC on popvssoda.com, you'll see "drink" and "soft drink" are way more popular in the NC. Maybe even popular enough to warrant a separate category. I think "soda" is more of a fallback choice for NC folks, because the term "soda fountain" is more common than the term "pop". Calling a non-coke beverage a "Coke" just seems silly though.

I'm from CLT, but when I think of what I would expect to see on a menu if I'm looking for a coke, it's "soft drinks". Likewise, if someone comes over to my place, I might ask, "Can I get you a drink? I've got Sweet Tea and Cokes in the fridge." Though more commonly I would say "something to drink". I've heard that in other parts of the country though, "drink" only implies alchoholic beverages, which was very different from my experience.

Now that I think about, maybe the reason we prefer "soft drink" is because sodas are usually grouped with sweet tea. And sweet tea really is the ultimate sweet, cold, drink of choice in NC. Though Coke or Sprite will do if a restaurant doesn't have any brewed and ready.
This has never worked in the history of humanity, except maybe in some remote tribes.

The closest was communism and French Revolution, which failed, among others, the idea of equality.
Belief is not binary.
I had the same concern and decided to do it anyway. Here's what happened:

- At work, a few coworkers saw me jumping and now it's something we do every afternoon as a way to break the day up and get some fresh air.

- In parking lots, people walking by me will usually compliment me and sometimes that turns into a nice conversation.

So after a few good experiences with it, all of my social anxiety about it melted away.

Offtopic: I would also urge you if you want to solder not to buy a cheap soldering iron from radioshack, etc. If you don't have the money for a weller or hakko soldering station then at the very least buy a chinese temperature controlled hakko 936 clone. The difference between a crap iron and a decent temperature controlled iron is gigantic.
With the same logic if people use it when road conditions are safer then they are simply using it as intended.

The design can help prevent people from using it when it's not appropriate or have mechanism to keep them alert and focused.

That is all NTSB seems to be saying here... they aren't calling into question the idea of highway driving assist systems, which are (already) showing potential to significantly make highway driving safer - the time when people are driving at the highest speeds.

No system will be perfect from preemptive testing either, it really does take real world mass adoption to detect some uncommon flaws unfortunately... Tesla is going to bear the brunt of this fact. You simply can't simulate every human (irrational) behaviour nor can you simulate every environment it will be used in.
> This is a cultural holdover from the late 19th and earlier 20th century when novel results were much more plentiful.

I'm not sure about that. As a former working scientist, I would say that the primary driver of this is the promotion and funding structure of science. I do agree thta a lot of low-lying fruit has been picked.
Another helpful plant that maybe is more easily obtainable is Kratom. I don't personally know about using it for opiate/opioid addiction, but many anecdotal accounts on r/Kratom
I'm not so convinced Linux is a "tire fire". Just about everything has vulnerabilities and needs to be occasionally patched, doesn't mean we need to get into some sort of holy war every time there's a new exploit for one device or the other.

That said, Android's lack of updates for older devices is its biggest weakness. Google is looking to fix this next version as they separate the HAL out. Something to look at is definitely if there would be a standard kernel with loaded modules or if it would still be left to manufacturers.

I think it's interesting that this is a map of almost exclusively caucasian accents (as the note on the left explains, information on the distinct African American Vernacular English dialect is not included, partly because the geographical variations of AAVE are largely independent of 'white' dialects).

Googling around, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent map out there for AAVE.
What do you need to decode it for? It's an identifier that you store, no need to decode it. Or do you mean, you want to optimize storage by compressing those identifiers into as little bits as possible? Then just store random bytes and use any encoding you like for outside representation, just like you would do with optimizing UUID storage (except with UUID you're losing a few bits to account for the version indicator, which should not have existed at all if not for the mess with combining a method of creating a pseudorandom byte generator with encoding format, which what various UUID versions are.)
Finding collisions in MD4
Also to be noted is that BTC to fiat adds a significant counterparty risk that isn't really an issue in fiat to fiat transfers (when was the last time a bank ran away with your wire transfer?), and also one of Satoshi's cited reasons for creating Bitcoin in the first place. BTC to fiat adds a redundancy that only makes sense to add to the equation if you're doing something illegal. Otherwise, why not accept a fiat wire transfer in the first place?

You disable the notifications that you don't want to see on the watch.

So for me personally I only have phone calls, SMS/iMessages, and one or two other communication apps enabled to send notifications to my watch, plus score updates from baseball since I follow the sport.

Once you get it configured in a way that fits what you care about it works really well.
Things like FB Snap, Instagram are heavily and successfully invested in convincing people that what others thing of them is the most significant aspect of their lives.
Corporations don't care what the nominal tax rate is, they just care how big their tax bill will be if they incorporate in different jurisdictions. They care about the average and the effective. They care about the average for long term investments and the marginal-effective rate expansions of projects in countries they already operate in. And while the U.S. statutory rate is highest in the developed world by a good margin, the effective and average rates are close to top quartile.
Maybe they don't want to spend $400 for specialty headphones that pretty much only work with the iPhone.
I think it is also a historical coincidence. Cyrillic is an original Slavic thing and its early variant Glagolitic srcipt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script) was actually created for West Slavic "customers". It was later replaced there by Latin script simply because early Slavic states there lost their independence to Germanic states. Since early literacy was a rare thing reserved for small clergy and state official circles, and since Slavic population has limited access to those, it was a natural thing that it died down in favor of Latin alphabet.
As a native speaker, I typically drop 'the' in favor of "Take 95 North" or "Take I95 North". Adding 'the' just sounds awkward to me, but it might just be a syllable/flow thing. If I was in an area with single-digit highways, I'd likely say "take I5" although I can see myself saying "take the 5"; just because "take 5" sounds Wrong and potentially misleading. -shrugs-

This is how I hear it said around South Florida though. It's also possible my mind just edits out 'the' when people talk about it
Yes, and david927 is making the counterpoint that the quote is not silly now, nor was it silly then (because it was not made then).
I have the same question -- I turned off the Bluetooth radio on my phone the day I got it, and I've never turned it back on. But does that mean the radio is actually powered down, or is the phone blocking Bluetooth at a higher level? Similarly, or possibly the same question, is an rfkill soft block adequate for a laptop with bluetooth?
They aren't - the distinction is voiced/unvoiced.
What's that have to do with the iPhone 8, which is the topic of the thread you are posting in?
No, since there's no web browser available.
No different from now. Plenty of people have eyes down watching videos or reading while walking towards the barriers on both sides. Annoys the bejeezus out of me every single day.
My primary complaint is that it can't handle large files at all. Why can't I use it to look at my logs without it completely freezing?
I'd love a world where the brains are a wrist watch form factor, and phones/tablets/laptops are just better screens and keyboards (ie dumb interfaces) which connect to said watch.

I am using an iphone 5s, 64 gb version - it's been my daily phone for since it was released. I've had no issues, other than finally replacing the battery this last year for $30.

Admittedly, I'm upgrading this cycle, but I'm super impressed by how long this phone has lasted. I bought a Nexus 4 (9 months older phone), and it's been complete shit for the past 1.5 years.
"My v̶o̶i̶c̶e̶ face is my passport. Verify me."

'Sneakers' had it right. Consider it more of a "passport."
Yeah I dont like a missing headphone jack on phones, but if you're using a watch suddenly BT headphones for streaming music makes sense.
From the white paper:

> Despite this, the Linux Kernel is
lagging behind in implementing some modern mitigations in its default configuration. Both stack
canaries - which protect against stack overflows, and KASLR (kernel address space layout
randomization) are lacking in most devices running Linux today

It seems that they opted not to try to bypass stack canaries, probably because of the number of Android devices running old versions of Linux.

It seems inaccurate for them to categorize this as a problem with kernel itself, however. The kernel itself isn't "lagging behind" if mobile/embedded devices won't update to never versions containing newer mitigation techniques.
I think what makes (or made) Apple what it is, is that it did wild-bets correctly. So that's what people are complaining about - the fact that they can't, or won't make wild bets that win.

Is that extremely hard? Yes of course, but doing that effectively is why Apple got the reputation it has.
The notch doesn't bother me that much. If anything, it adds character in a world where phone designs are getting more generic and less distinguishable.

The lack of a headphone jack (and no valid replacement, such as USB-C) gets me way more annoyed!
It runs watchOS.
If I drop it, It doesn't cost $1000 it costs $100 (at least before this screen type). It won't be stolen as long as it's either in my hand or my front pocket all day (unless I'm mugged). But I have insurance for that. Basically I don't consider it a risk of a sudden loss of $1000.

Just parking my car is a risk of a sudden $1000 loss, even with insurance.
I don't see your point. This is true, but it's true for everything. Passwords, biometrics. Even a physical key.

If your point is no lock is safe from someone saying "I will kill you if you don't unlock this" then yeah, that's true.
Also assumes that we would heavily tax the consumption of basic goods, like groceries.

More likely, we would heavily tax goods that poor people cannot afford. Things like dining out, travel, fashion, electronics, cars, and housing in excess of basic sq footage.
Did you see the article recently about recognizing stop signs? However the machine supposedly recognized stop signs, it had nothing to do with them being red, hexagonal, or saying "STOP". It was possible to deface a sign such that it was clearly still red, hexagonal, etc. but the machine didn't recognize it. So IMO the machine had no 'mental model' of what a stop sign is.
Self signing, or if your feeling fancy issue from your own CA and import the root cert on your clients.

If they're internal services the namespace and the trust heirarchy can be private just fine.
My $20 flip phone survived falling 7 feet onto concrete without suffering a scratch without any type of case.

I never understood why vendors keep mentioning "thin" and "sleek" in the marketing, when most people end up getting a case which in turn makes it thicker than a 10 year old flip phone.
Great job! Unubo is an awesome interface for a potentially useful product!

A few notes:
- Github permissions seem excessive. You require:
- Personal user date: full access
- Repos: public and private
- Delete repos
- Read and write Gists
- Access to all available organization
- Dropbox requires access to all my files rather than just an App folder (or a limited scope)
- All of the above for Trello

I haven't tested the other apps, but I hope you can understand why I'm not willing to provide full read/write access to my code, Dropbox files and project management to a service that tracks their monthly bills. (Perhaps these are required to receive accounting info?)

Sadly these concerns have prevented me from tracking any apps as this level of access seems disproportional for the purpose of the tool.
these events (and many other things like unboxing the product) are a big part of the experience that apple wants. not everyone like it, not everyone cares about that side of things (and that's ok!), but for those who like these experiences, a leak is just like someone spoiling what happens in a movie.
Unfortunately, the most environmentally friendly phone is still a horrible polluter because it is purposefully built to justify an upgrade each year, as required to survive in our beautiful free market.

And thanks to the way the extension system works in Atom you can keep your editor that way. These packages are entirely optional.

The only changes made to Atom at all to facilitate this were better built-in watching of files in Atom (benefits all packages and should improve things like the tree view when it switches over) and an async shutdown mechanism for packages.

One big event for me. Again, not interesting. If I described it, it might not even seem like a big deal to the reader. Things got better though.
I totally understand. I know it's irrational to care what others think, but I still do. That said, people are positive about it to me.

Think about it: if you were at Costco and saw some random person jumping rope by a car, what would you think of that person? Would it be anything bad?
Curious about the claim on affiliate marketing being profitable. I see one of the ideas - Amazon affiliate not working out. What other types of affiliates are there?
Except in LA, you are often times referring to roads that aren't part of the Interstate system. So, to drive where I use to live close to Beverly Hills to the small town of 'Montrose' (might just be a neighborhood actually) I would take the (I)10 to the (I)5 to the (State Route) 2, or if I had a stop in say, Glendale I'd take the (I)10 to the (I)5 to the (State Route) 134, make my stop get back on the (State Route) 134 to the (State Route) 2. You also had roads like the State Route 110 which turns into Interstate 110 at some point, etc.

To the driver these are just freeways. Now LA did have many more major freeways which were state routes and not Interstates (with the occasional US Highway, such as the 101) than most places do. Where I grew up in the mid-west, we really only had Interstates and regular roads and did say I80 and never, "the 80"
These approaches assume you have access to the trained neural network weights, i.e. that it's a "white box".
Why should anyone care? I don't see anything technically novel or interesting in this.

Edit: I'm not disparaging this, I'm asking a question...
There were many not a few touchscreen phones before the iPhone, no multi-touch ones, and many crappy resistive screen phones that needed a sharp pointy thing to be kind of responsive.

Smartphones were just a niche before 2007 made them mainstream. The iPhone did to smartphones what the iPod did to digital music players, turning niche into norm.

In NYC and San Francisco, sure. Technology rolls out to the flyover states a little slower, though. Apple helps accelerate it a bit more.

I'm willing to bet if I asked about Qi charging in the McDonalds in Brodhead Wisconsin, they would not have it. A year from now, though, is a far better chance.
They are going to expose some of this functionality as part of their AR libraries. We know this from their Snapchat demo, as well as the gaming demo (though that used the rear camera, not front one).

So... yes, developers will be able to get their hands on some of this tech, but how much can we do with it?

If room mapping was truly possible, I would imagine they would have done more in their demo with this, e.g. see the Hololens game where robots come flying out of walls, and hide behind your couch. That demo was more substantial than seeing a flat tabletop with a projected 3d game, or a projected 3d robots standing on a flat basketball court.

Various people adopted it for various different reasons, and after going through vastly differing decision processes. Consider the contrast between Debian and Arch, for just one example.

Genuine question: will identical twins be able to unlock each others' phones?

Or do they actually have enough differences that the phone can pick up on, even if people can't tell them apart?
It's a game. Isn't betraying people just part of the game? Problem is by the time someone is successful in Eve Online it's more than just a game to them.

I thought the fingerprint scanner on the back would be a good feature until I realized 90% of my phone usage involves me pulling it out of my pocket.

- On my iPhone, I just pinch it with my thumb on the home button while I pull it out.

- On my Pixel, I have to take it out and then unlock it.

Also, when the phone is resting on a table, I can just unlock my iPhone by touching the home button. With the Pixel, I have to turn it over first. When all I wanted to do was read a message I just received, possibly with dirty hands.

So putting the unlock on the back of the phone doesn't seem very well thought out at all.
>Honestly, work with Atom open for a day or two on the same project, that's not uncommon right? Prepare yourself for some serious type lag.

I dunno, I have the same Atom instance open on Linux for weeks with 20+ files open, I haven't experienced any noticeable lag. Maybe I'm just not as sensitive to the sort of lag you're experiencing.
So, on one side we have a probably limited number of users who have a DNS setup which is uncommon, and who tolerate periods where they receive incorrect DNS responses. On the others, we have the users who have >1 DNS servers on their local network, who experience significant periods of timeout when the first is offline, even though they have working DNS service available.

For me, the second set of users ought to be getting priority, because it's a vastly common setup and users experience time outs as software failing. Ensuring that the system copes normally in the face of DNS resolver failure is a very useful and important feature.
Where are you finding role play in Eve? There is none I've found after hundreds of hours of play.
