Nobody. I think a better statement would of been maybe this "feature" isn't for you. Head to settings and turn it off.
> It's a huge UX shift which is enough to intrigue and excite a lot of people

This is why I'm debating it. Still not sure though, and may just stick with my 7+.
> will it always try to unlock when just viewing notifications or text?

I believe you have to swipe also, so it won't automatically unlock just because you look at it. That would be annoying because it would move notifications off the screen just when you're starting to look at them.
Besides flavio81's comment about SQL injection, Django has a very similar system for avoiding XSS too, where strings are automatically quoted when displaying, and only SafeString objects can create HTML tags.
I agree with this as a principal. There was even some good commentary a while ago when an article about all the money flowing into Vanguard https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14145308. A market with no active players defeats the efficient market idea. There should be some sort inflection point where the index fund critical mass is, but I don't think we've had this sort of situation in a modern economy before.
In addition to fairness, I also don't want to get on some anti-fraud black list, because it might look to them like I used their services and then avoided fully paying for them. And they have all my identity information (passport number, etc). It's a convenient hotel in which I may need to stay again in future, and I don't want to look like a fraudster in their CRM system.
Yeah their idiotic comments in online forums should hopefully make them undesirable to the opposite sex...
This, unfortunately, means no more security updates. So if someone finds a new exploit you are vulnerable. Plus the software update will keep nagging with its damn badge on the settings icon (that alone would drive me crazy enough to just do it).
This. Swiftkey solved this problem for me. The only remaining problem is that iOS is so annoyingly buggy wrt third-party keyboards.

I wish people would stop contributing to the Facebook mythos that elevates a social media platform into some kind of software based deity. It's just a website, it's not a threat to "free will" any more than a cigarette or coke addiction is a threat to "free will". People recite grand expositions regarding how "I stopped using facebook and it changed my life forever! I've never looked back!"... wonderful, but I want to suggest that it's just not that big of a deal either way, it's a website where people post selfies, memes, and uninformed political opinions, it really isn't that life-altering. If you truly despise Facebook, stop feeding its delusions of grandeur.
You are contradicting yourself, and plain wrong.
Economists are always right within their own narrowly-defined models! Yes, if you pre-define a set of securities that you will forever be limited to exclusively trading, and divide two groups into passive (never makes another trade again) and active (makes trades), the two groups will perform equally (excluding fees).

Now, in the real world, there are several significant reasons why that model model offers nothing but a fun little thought experiment.
I find idiomatic CS easier to read than idiomatic JS. Matter of taste.
He's been critical of the camera bump and the notch. The main thing he's fighting against is this review is that the 8 is _not_ an upgrade over the 7. I think it is, but YMMV.
It looks that way:

What a fresh, new take on the situation.

Honestly, I think the right company with the right marketing could make Facebook completely irrelevant. All you'd need is a basic address book/profile functionality + basic messaging + event planning. Perhaps a use as a universal login, as many do like that.

They would lose a ton of users if the network effect would catch on, which is obviously the big hurdle.

It would also be a curious case of brands being left with few Facebook users, and likely no way into the disrupting service if it was funded by basic ads. That requires the disrupting company to not be greedy, but I think they could make a viable business out of it.

Please, someone make this for the greater good.
This happened before facebook as well; it just wasn't so... public.
Wow, that's crazy. My chip and PIN in Canada has a magstripe. Sometimes it'll fail and I'll have to swipe.

What do you do when the chip and PIN fails?

I'm in the US and the credit card I have through my credit union requires a PIN on chip transactions.
Is reddit even in the black yet? At the end of it the day, we have to make money for our software. All of that infrastructure and developers aren't free or cheap. Let's be honest with ourselves, people are never going to pay for software again like they used to in the 90s and 00s. Kind of in a way, I miss that. I wish you could pop in a CD of "reddit" with your subscription and that would be it.
You pay that whether or not your card info gets stolen
The reason the WiFi and Bluetooth controls now work the way they do is to leave Apple's accessories (Watch, Pencil, etc.) connected and working while disconnecting you from other networks and devices.
@dougmccune makes a great point that "with the right conditions a quality journal can be run incredibly cheaply." Discrete Analysis is prime example of this (and there are others), the editors have been able to run the journal on a small grant using Scholastica for peer review and publishing via the arXiv model. Full disclosure - I am a co-founder of Scholastica.
I think the key here is that in order to make journal production cheaper it has to be _despecialized_. Journals have come to reply on corporate publishers because printing and early online publishing were too cumbersome for them to manage on their own. In turn publishers have built up levels of specialization for their role. But today, with existing technology and services, journals can assume a pared down publishing model that addresses their needs in a much more affordable way and allows them to retain control of content and its distribution.

This is an interesting debate, but I think it misses the most important point: cost.

The Navy can buy thousands of Xbox controllers for the cost of even a single bespoke controller. The US has on the order of 100 submarines. Replacement controllers for the lifetime of each submarine -- even multiplied by 10 -- is a hilariously small cost compared to the alternatives.

So buy 1,000+ Xbox controllers and keep them in a warehouse. Problem solved.
The thing is, macOS is objectively worse than Linux in certain respects, e.g. the UI's placement of window close next to other window controls (oddly, the old Macintosh OS did this correctly) or shipping the less-featureful BSD userland rather than the GNU userland, or shipping an old & outdated bash.

But I enjoy making my tools work better. I don't compile my kernel anymore, I don't build my own computers, but I do enjoy making my environment work better, faster, simpler and more powerfully.
Same here. In this case, the misapplication of "sexual violence" is even more shocking. The idea that taking a picture of a girl on the beach is in the same realm of offense as sexual assault is asinine. The same misapplication of terms lets monsters like the antifa protestors, Dylan Roof, and others claim they are responding to violence, and thus initiate force against media, police, and others.
It only takes one "This app requires iOS11 to run" and there you go.
Free riders. And there's good reason to believe that the future of investment will not have a group of corporate governors to free ride off of going forward.
Call it what you want, but the language of "negative externality" is too clinical in my opinion when it refers to killing people and putting the stability of the entire planet at risk, especially when perfectly adequate non-destructive PoW systems exist, namely, PoS.
Maybe. I only used CS for one project, after years of primarily programming Python. I could also believe that, if applied judiciously, the characters could be dropped without harming clarity.

However, the codebase I was working in had no clear style guidelines about when it was acceptable to drop braces/parens and so it left me wanting for Python's "there's one way to do it" aesthetic.
This guy is making all kinds of assumptions to get his results that can't possibly be true. On a first read it looks like he's assuming:

Stocks in the passive investment category stay that way forever- they are never sold at any price.

Money never enters or leaves the stock market

Companies never issue or buy back stock.

I mean with bat crazy assumptions like these, you can come up with any conclusions you want!

No, it's not just slower. It's also much more likely to fail. I don't know why anyone bothers except that the card networks forced the issue.
For those interested in indexation, FRMO's Murray Stahl has published some thought-provoking articles about indexation here:

http://www.frmocorp.com/indexation.html

In principle, the theory behind indexation is very much like the theory of perfect
competition. In perfect competition, the idea is that no participant is sufficiently powerful
or sufficiently large to influence the price of the product. The product is assumed to be
homogeneous, and shares are designed to be homogeneous. In the theory of market
efficiency, no one has an information advantage over anyone else, and there is always
enough liquidity. It seems reasonable to make those assumptions. Yet, it is worth making
some observations about them.
Learn how to implement Hindley-Milner type inference – Vivint's Game of Codes
I have been curious about this idea for a long time. Consider the situation the USA is in right now. What percentage of all transactions which occur in the US economy right now pass through a payment processor? I would imagine the majority, and growing. And payment processors don't just charge for their services. They charge a percentage of the size of the transaction. Their cost to provide the service of moving numbers from one place to another over a wire does not increase for larger numbers, yet they still insist that the parties in the transaction pay more to move larger numbers.

This makes payment processors a de-facto taxing body and gives them at least as much control over the monetary supply in a society as any central bank. If the Federal Reserve decided to take actions that private banks or payment processors disagreed with, it is entirely within their legal power to adjust the rates they charge and counteract the central bank. This is very dangerous. It's terribly unfortunate that modern government is so packed with nibshits and the clinically paranoid that they would never again back a currency which offers the same features as cash (untraceable, unfreezable, etc), but even without those, just escaping from the tyranny of payment processors might be worth it.
>Of course, I don't mean to say that philosophy and inquiry are purely synonymous. There's something vague about what the discipline of philosophy exactly is. But I don't think that's too terribly important.

I think it's pretty important, actually, because the more strictly we nail down the rules of what counts as Good Philosophy, the more it may actually diverge from really proper Inquiry into our original, pre-philosophical concerns. I'm probably unorthodox in thinking this, but I really do think the job of philosophy ought to be to answer or dissolve our pre-philosophical questions, in ways that address what we actually meant by those questions, rather than merely playing Philosophy as a disciplinary language-game.

I'm not a "crank" at all in any sense at all. E.g., I've listed some of my accomplishments, and they are real and significant. It's the VCs who are wack-o: Commonly they are not qualified for any significant role in a technical startup. And as at

http://www.kauffman.org/newsroom/2012/07/institutional-limit...

on average the VCs have not been making much money.

My typing here is long enough to provide evidence enough to make my points. Just short assertions with no evidence are not meaningful.

VCs are commonly treated as heroes, the smartest people in the room; maybe you are upset to discover they are not.

Do you not count e.g. jQuery as a framework? Angular and React are also pretty late entrants. Before that there was Backbone, Ember, etc.

> Honest question, how do Web Components help native developers in any way?

Being standardized, i.e. any old framework that can work with the DOM can with them, i.e. it reduces the number of truly necessary components to an "N" problem instead of an "NxM" component. Simple as that.

(Let's say we're looking for a "scrolling/sortable table" component. N is the number of different components along the 'features' axis. M would be the number of frameworks (Vue, React, etc.). It's a massive waste of resources that M > 1.)

EDIT: Yes, frameworks will still be around and that's fine.

Yeah, Gruber has been surprisingly tolerable this cycle. Don't get me wrong, he's always had substantive criticisms of Apple products, it's just that the substantive criticisms have always been sandwiched between gigantic layers of over-the-top absurd fanboyism.

This review reads like it's a basically positive review from an Apple fan. Which is, I guess, by Gruber's standards, the most negative review possible.
I've been using Timber.io for a few months now with my Elixir apps. Very easy to integrate with lots of platforms, nice free plan to get started, very responsive and helpful support from the developers themselves. Highly recommended.
So should the USA tax SAP on worldwide profits as it does Apple?
Sorry for late reply!

20% is standard SPAC comp.

Also yes, I apologize, you are right - they get 20% of the value of the SPAC, so if they buy 10% of a company, they are only getting 20% promote on that 10%.
Two thoughts:

1. We need food, we don't need soda. So food will always get a priority for resources, thus its heavy water usage more excusable. Farming uses a lot of water, its just a given, and we need farming to survive. Raising beef actually is much more wasteful than almonds, for example. Almost all farming requires large amounts of water.

2. Rural irrigation is a bit different than urban irrigation. They may draw on their own springs and wells or impact less people with water restrictions due to low density rural populations. Plants in or near urban areas can impact millions of people. Worse, urban areas need to be kept clean or hygeine goes out the window then come the superbugs, epidemics, etc. If we ration urban water too strongly in favor of soft drinks, then that means less showering, baths, street cleaning, etc which isn't good for society.

FB's tentacles are so deeply embedded in everything that I'm not sure a classic tech death from a disruptor is possible. Only a long and slow decline over a period of 5, maybe even 10 years.
What's remarkable is how muted it is. If Apple decided to publish date of birth, Social Security number, mother's maiden name & complete chat history for all iOS users Gruber would write a blog detailing how this would be a welcome radical move to total transparency which will encourage the U.S. financial system to switch to more secure authentication options &c. &c. &c.

The fact that his review is not 'this is the best, greatest, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in the entire history of mankind; Apple is mother, Apple is father; hail Jobs!' indicates how very unimpressing the newest iPhones are.

Right now, I like anything that helps normalize the white-hot hype of cryptocurrencies. There's some real utility in this technology, and we won't get to see it until companies are forced to make sustainable business cases and serve real customers.

However,

That sounds a bit like lip service...are they really just protecting investors and citizens, or is it because the assets are much harder to seize? Recently, there has been a large crackdown on foreign real estate purchases[0].

There's no such thing as collective intelligence, although the Soviet system is the specific system that professed collectivism to be the ideal.

There is only individual intelligence, which can act with other individuals. That is, there are only individual investors - actors - whether we're talking about retail or hedge funds or even AI bots. There's no seven million headed investor automagically sharing a brain and its accumulated wisdom. The point being, each investor that is acting on the market, is acting from different conclusions (even off of exactly the same data), with different intent, and with different capability of deduction and discipline and implementation and so on.

Most of the professional investors that manage money for others are not very good at generating returns. They tend to be horrible at taking advantage of the vast market inefficiencies that made Warren Buffett and dozens of other famous examples possible. To make matters much worse, said mediocre professional investors then make their money by skimming off the capital they manage. When that's your scenario, index investing will always make sense. The only time it doesn't, is if you possess numerous rare attributes that make it possible to take advantage of the inefficient market, or if you can find a rare someone to trust your money to that can do so.

The last monitoring attempt that I heard of used a browser plugin to scrape the user's posts. The point was to monitor political parties and their ad targeting before the upcoming elections in Germany.

Generally, Facebook needs to view contents of posts that is able to access third party websites a severe bug. It is an unwelcome data leak at least and a true attack vector at worst. So, tracking by linking to a third party tracking pixel should be impossible.
