Maybe I'll try it next time. Not sure yet what Antergos will do for me, except the installer, but for this install, and so far, I'm happy with it. It's still mostly arch anyway.

It's not that it is too hard or takes very long time, but I still have to pull up my notes and do it.
TouchID was removed because it took up space on the front of the phone and Apple wanted the screen to be bigger. There's no deeper reason than that.

> Will Apple continue progress and built in PinchID - a tiny needle that sting you to test if you are you based on your blood/DNA?

I struggle to believe you when you say that's a serious question...

> Im also concerned about the data Apple will collect.

The FaceID data will be stored in the secure enclave locally on your phone, just like TouchID data was. Apple will not collect it.
> without having to re-position my upper body

why would you unlock your phone if you're not going to look at it? I don't understand this argument.

Go is more "mainstream" (I'd say it's totally mainstream by now) while Clojure is still "niche" - and being a Lisp, I doubt it will ever be non-niche.
The FaceDatabase as you imply is stored on the phone in a secure enclave. None of this stuff is sent to Apple.
I'm running a SaaS built on the back of the Web Audio + WebRTC apis. While it isn't perfect at all, it is still pretty impressive what progress has been made in the last few years allowing you to do all kinds of audio synthesis and processing right in the browser. It seems to me that it is a pretty general purpose api in intent. The approach seems to be to do the easy low hanging fruit first and then get to the more complicated things. This doesn't satisfy any single use case quickly but progress is steady. No doubt it would be nice if it was totally capable out of the gate but I'm simply happy that even the existing capabilities are there. Be patient, it will improve vastly over time.

EDIT: I should also add that the teams behind the apis are quite responsive. You can make an impact in the direction of development simply by making your needs/desires known.

Rooftop solar only helps in scenarios like that if you also have an attached storage system. You're not going to power your fridge/oven/dryer directly from the panels.

I would also like to see rooftop solar become widespread in the near future. But I think for most people to get on board, they'll need to be able to break even on the investment within something like 3 years.

It's not remotely 'identical' in practice.

Kik can do whatever they want with their currency, there's no oversight, no transparency, no nothing.

----> The whole point of doing an ICO instead of an IPO is because they can paper over and gloss over issues, avoid regulation and transparency, and take advantage of wide-eyed and under-informed speculators.

It's just a way to leverage over individuals keen to make it big on speculative mania.

If Kik were in a position to do an IPO - they would. But they can't. Because they are slowly dying, and have almost no revenues. That doesn't sound like a good position to be in. So how could they possibly raise money otherwise without a lot of smoke and mirrors?

Why not simply 'raise a bunch of USD' and then 'pay developers' some of that USD - instead of fabricated coins?

Because the terms of an ICO to them vis-a-vis 'investors' are incredibly better.

Yes - an argument could be made that 'regulations are onerous and limiting and create undue friction' - and that's on some level a good point.

But this won't end well in the long run.

These ICO's are speculative mania. They'll be a 'good investment' for some, but there's nary any actual value being created.

ICO's are 99% a 'net zero gain' scheme whereby a lot of money changes hands - and it will go from 'dumb uniformed people to smart, informed, empowered and slightly greedy' people.

The only long-run winner for these things are the Hedge Funds getting in early, backing the ICOs, and then dumping their positions over time.

ICO's are not a financial innovation.

You can't create value out of thin air.

That might be a good use of solar actually. Smelt the aluminum right at the site, which might have poor grid connectivity. Generate your own power ultra cheap & use it directly for smelting. Save on raw material transport costs. It would be interesting to see a cost / benefit analysis here.
I believe that by default, gcc is somewhat conservative with its target architecture, ignoring a few of the newest features in favour of better cross-system compatibility. With that flag, and possibly -mtune=native, you get the full power of your CPU back.
I hate the "it just works" marketing bs. Sounds exactly like Apple. It didn't work when I tried to update after being away for 3 months. It wouldn't even boot because they changed to systemd in the meantime. So it only works if you sink in significant time.

Yes, SQL Server was that customer.

This provides a justification for customs to carry out searches, but very few countries undertake customs checks on departing passengers.

What about searches at security, be it by the TSA or otherwise? They're obviously very different (you can always opt-out and travel by another means), but I suppose one can both argue that they're a) reasonable and b) justified by contractual means (i.e., a requirement to pass through security before boarding).

> I definitely believe there needs to be a third party to police operations. Some sort of service tasked with keeping police behaviour in check, present to support the rights of the citizenry. Law enforcement officers shouldn't be allowed out alone.

This is in place already in many jurisdictions. The review board is almost always populated with former police rather than community members, ostensibly because they have better insight as to the challenges officers face on a daily basis. This is one of the reasons the cop in LA went mental a few years ago - because he was out of favor politically, his review board experience went sideways, while many of his peers had a decidedly different outcome for more egregious offenses. (I can't get into specifics because I don't actually remember them in detail).

It is a common case that officers are disciplined and that discipline is rescinded by the review board rather than strengthened. You can almost sympathize - when police are instructed to lie and behave unethically on a regular basis, it's bs to fire them when they make the news for it. The guys on the street are stuck between a rock and a hard place - having to satisfy their superiors, but the requirements for doing so would get them fired by any civilian review board. For instance, the pattern of ticketing soccer mom's at the beginning of every school year under a quota system would cause all kinds of issues under civilian review. But it happens all over the place and even though it's illegal, the practice nor it's practitioners will ever face consequences for it.
This has been done before.

History repeating itself.

The easy ability for corporate entities to dupe smaller investors is the oldest scheme in the book.

The 1929 crash was dependent on it.

The 2000 crash was dependent on it - it was largely due to the fact that 'online investing' caused a flood of small-time money into the markets pushing up prices. When the 'smart money' decided to end it, they pulled out ahead of the dumb money and left others holding the bag.

The housing crisis had elements of this as well.

There is definitely an argument to be made that 'regulations hold people back' - surely - but without them there is a 100% guarantee that things will go sour.

And when I refer to 1929 - that's not even going back that far.

The entire history of economics is about this - the 'quandary' of why supposedly rational markets crash and burn so often. It's seems a rather apparent explanation would be the asymmetry of information (and greed) between some actors, and others.

Although not an exact replacement to Ms Access the types of products marketed by big tech to "technical BA's" appeal to that requirement.

Building apps with clicks not code is the utopia these people are seeking, so the vendors will do everything they can to appeal to that.

There are literally heaps in this category, but one that really started it all is Salesforce and their force.com product, they are selling the dream like no-one else.

More frequently coming up now is MS PowerApps and MS Flow coupled with either SharePoint lists or Microsoft's Common Data Service because they are included for free in the Enterprise Office 365 SKUs.

Dynamics 365 offers a lot in this space but is more pricey (the $10 team license is good value though). Zoho Creator is another example too.

Reading this immediately makes me read the rest of your comment as much more negative and critical than I would otherwise. That's not necessary. If you want to ask a question about stop signs in the U.S., just ask it. (On the other hand, this is something you could google in about 5 seconds, so maybe your point really is just to criticize?

FaceID + shortpin = unlock

I'd say you pin can pin it down mostly to those reasons:

* Do you have active snapshots (vssadmin list shadows)? Halves random writes to disk in the worst case.

* Do you have USN journaling enabled (fsutil usn queryjournal c:)? Adds extra IO to meta-data operations.

* NTFS/FAT is optimized for fast directory listing speed so modifying files also modifies directory entries. Nothing one can do about that (except being aware of that and designing programs with this in mind).

* Windows doesn't keep as much dirty fs data in fs-cache. I know of no way to change that. One can probably, if one uses a Windows Server OS.

* Is a on-access Virus scanner active? If yes, one cannot compare performance to Linux. It's a massive bottleneck.

* when looking at the gist, print the page in your browser

* save to PDF

"Can you provide me with some concrete examples of famous, high profile tech stocks like facebook and snapchat giving a "share of their current/future assets/profits of the business""

Yes.

Facebook. Google. Microsoft. Amazon.

--> A company does not need to pay dividends in order to 'return value to investors' <---

This is a common misunderstanding of valuation.

--> Whether a company pays dividends or not is technically irrelevant <--

The only real relevance in 'share buybacks' is the ability of the corporation to generated yield from that cash, more than the investor could otherwise. I.E. A large, doddling company who is sitting on tons of cash, but generating very little yield, would be urged to pay dividends. Companies like Amazon, which can generate more yield from re-investing - should do that.

Key point: stock ownership implies ownership of the assets - so whether it's in Amazon's bank account or in yours - it doesn't matter - if you own stock, you 'own' that money.

The only question is - do you want Amazon to 'keep investing' (because they are good/bad at it) or do you want the money transferred to your account (because maybe you can do better).

The increase in value of the stock is economically/technically the same thing as a 'dividend payment'.

Now, that is mixing up a whole lot of different problems, isn't it?

First of all, "proving that this human being exists" in no way implies "proving that this human being is a kid in rural africa". Let alone "proving that this human being is a kid in rural africa who lacks resources". Now, those absolutely might be legitimate concerns in some scenarios--but how would that be a baseline requirement for a system for social interactions? Last I checked I don't need to bring a credit report to get into a local pub and chat with people either.

Secondly, if you assume a situation where those questions actually were relevant: How is trusting one centralized, not democratically controlled institution to take care of the problem even a solution? If you rely on them, you implicitly also give them the power to effectively declare real people non-existent. If facebook says "this is not a real human being", is that actually reliable information, or could it just be a case of them optimizing their business with the (possibly unintended) side effect of cutting this rural african kid off from resources by incorrectly labeling them "not a human"?

I don't think most solar installations are designed to operate without a grid connection though, and even not all powerwall installations can run off grid.

Though I'm not sure that they beat a generator (diesel or connected to your gas line) if you really anticipate regular grid outages and probably won't for a while.
