That's the one with the anti-tivo clause. Presumably, they'd have to support jail breaking, etc if they distributed gplv3 software. (They could get around this by supporting side loading, of course...)
My perception is also that malware ends up in the Google Play Store with much higher frequency than the App Store. Just do a news search for "Google Play Store malware" and "App Store malware" and compare.

Also, one can sideload apps, if you have a Mac, onto iOS. Obviously, that's not anywhere as integrated but maybe that's a good thing. Heck, maybe Apple even added that so people in China could sideload VPNs. Maybe iOS VPNs are good enough (no root, no TOR?)?
Miami Frustrated with FPL After Hurricane Irma
A merge should be just that: merging code without adding extra changes. If you need to make changes, they should be in a separate commit.

But if you had to resolve conflicts in a merge, you might also have had to make changes, and now you've got to work out whether the breakage was because of the combination of features that hadn't been tested together before or because someone changed something while resolving conflicts. Speaking from experience, that's really difficult.

If you rebase instead, the commit that breaks the build contains the code change that breaks the build, and if it's because of a rebase error you've got the opportunity _as you're rebasing_ to detect that.

Notable:

FPL's lobbying wing has fought hard against letting Floridians power their own homes with solar panels. Thanks to power-company rules, it's impossible across Florida to simply buy a solar panel and power your individual home with it. You are instead legally mandated to connect your panels to your local electric grid.

More egregious, FPL mandates that if the power goes out, your solar-power system must power down along with the rest of the grid, robbing potentially needy people of power during major outages.
I'm not certain but I think push notifications can also be used "invisibly" to trigger data sync so this could mean limited functionality beyond just receiving "pop-ups".

One of the (arguably the) original hypertext visions (AFAIK Ted Nelson, its creator, coined the term "hypertext" in the early 60s).

The main difference to web hypertext as we know it is that it doesn't just link documents together by what we know as "links", but it's bidirectional and with more content inclusion. E.g. if someone takes content from another document and puts it in their article, the text is connected to the source document (instead of them maybe putting a link to the source). And from the source document you can find all documents that used parts of it.

Project Xanadu is Nelson's repeated attempts to make this work, while the world choose the WWW model and is happy enough with that (much to the disdain of Xanadu supporters, who believe the WWW to be a vastly inferior and broken approach). Once HTML took off, there wasn't really a chance to catch up, especially not with the limited resources they have. Lot's of bitterness about that, which also means they haven't really tried to make their ideas work with the web and rather aiming for an uncompromising, pure implementation of their ideas.
This seems a very roundabout way to do things - climate modelling is CPU-intensive enough already, why not use the wind energy to power those computations instead of this extra step in the middle?

Specially the issue is that I cannot replace your binary with one I create myself from your source.

1. I can’t use your app ID

2. I can’t sign it with your cert

3. I can’t tie it to your website for deep links (because of #1)

It used to be the case that I couldn’t even get the binary to the device without paying $99/year, but that’s not necessary any more.

The dev program fee was definitely anti-GPL. I don’t know if the other things I mentioned are.

if you want to talk about vegetable affordability, lets start with lettuce, carrots, and broccoli.
It would be really helpful to know what concrete actions to take to my City Council, if I want this to happen. Is there model legislation I can point at? What about my city's current processes is helpful or harmful to adding 5G? How can I find ISP's interested in making this happen in my town?
Linux wasn't designed to be an immutably-configured operating system. When systems like Puppet try to apply configuration to a target server, they're operating on top of a layer which is inherently stateful, which has a propensity to cause all sorts of problems. What if somebody manually entered this server and screwed with the configuration, outside of Puppet? What if poorly packaged applications don't cleanly uninstall or upgrade properly? Systems like Puppet tend to just throw an error at the sysadmin and walk away.

NixOS treats immutable configuration as a first-class citizen at the OS level. Dependenices are not installed into /usr or /etc, rather specific versions of packages (identified by their hashes) are installed into /nix/store and then symlinked back to /usr or /etc. Different applications that require different versions of the same dependency, when packaged according to standard, harmoniously co-exist on the same server because the Nix packaging system symlinks the dependencies between each other in /nix/store.

You don't realize the full power of this setup until you make a mistake, make your system unbootable, and calmly tell GRUB to just use the last valid configuration - a few minutes later and you're back at a desktop. Conventional configuration management tool like Puppet tend to be worthless in those kinds of failure modes, and most sysadmins would be implementing backup restoration procedures.
Reminds me a little of traffic. Yesterday I was cruising down the highway in the leftmost lane, going about 80 with a line of other cars. The other two lanes were actually more clear, but cars were going much slower.

I notice this one car, weaving in and out of traffic in these two lanes, trying desperately to get ahead, constantly cutting people off. They did this for 40 miles, weaving in and out, sometimes getting ahead of me by quite a bit, sometimes falling behind.

If they had just stayed in the left lane and cruised, they would have arrived at their destination at exactly the same time.

My point is, it seems to be human nature to be bad at estimating long term averages, whether it be stock picks or just driving down the road. Checkout lanes are another example that comes to mind.
People are very sensitive about other people seeing images of thier homes. I'm in the military and once had to deal with a complaint about our aircraft "buzzing" a house. As the address was in nearby farmland I called the person to confirm the exact location. Maybe the house was on an approach to our airport or maybe our pilots were using it as a landmark for an exercise.

"I'm with one of our pilots now. We're looking at what we think is your house based on the address you gave us. Is it the one with the gravel driveway and L-shaped pool?"

"What? Are you taking pictures of my house?"

"No ma'am. I've got a satellite view of your address on my screen."

"You have spy satellites over my house!!@!$#!#"

"Google maps!, just google maps!"

I get particular joy out of seeing that type of multiple waste-bin installation in municipalities that use mixed-waste processing [1]. Knowing that all bins are being combined at pick-up and then re-sorted at the material recovery facility makes me chuckle.

Something I have wondered, are tastes kinda cyclical? New cool things eventually fall out of favour and then have a resurgence decades or more later on (think skinny jeans from the 70s reappearing in last few years, semi-ironic appreciation of Journey and other 80s music and so on).

And if so does this will this style come back into fashion? When all the laptops or PC hardware are sleek black or brushed aluminium will a nicely executed beige finish look bold, different and interesting enough to take over again?

As an example, Sony have a retro-style PS4 which is similar (but grey and not beige) - compared to the normal black one it looks really nice to me

This is exactly, exactly what I've been looking for. As a software engineer whose professional career has focused entirely around the web, embedded systems is a strange, enticing landscape with what seems to be an "old guard," that eschews the frenetic pace of web technologies and frameworks, and relies on old, proven, get-shit-done tooling and technology. Which is amazing. But it also means that no one is writing blog posts on medium about this stuff, and beginner tutorials are sparse. For spoiled Elixir devs like me, this is perfect.

All currencies have that trait. USD has a value that is famously propped up because of its ubiquitous utility. Everyone wants/needs dollars (to trade w/ US, to pay US taxes, to use as a reserve currency, etc). This demand increases the cost of dollars relative to everything else.

The only reason it is harder to notice with crypto is because the size of the market you can use crypto in is so ridiculously small (relative to a national currency) that investment value and speculative effects dominate.

Spot on. Shitcoins, as they call them.

At this very early stage of adoption, most people who are smart enough to figure out how to trade crypto should be smart enough to do some research before buying 1000 vaporware coins.

As the doors open to the wider population, though, it's inevitable that hucksters will try to separate regular folk from their hard earned cash.

The notion is reprehensible (and goes against the spirit of cryptocurrencies) so some regulation around accountability would not be unwelcome.

Only when you're using the REPL. They call it "interactive mode". [ls], for example, will generate an error if you put that in a tcl script run non-interactively.

Another common cause can be the difference between interactive and command modes for Tcl. When you start up a Tcl interpreter, get a prompt, and type in commands to Tcl, this is called interactive mode. In this mode, Tcl does a few extra things for you. For instance, if you type ls, and you have no proc called ls defined, Tcl will try to exec a command called ls. This sometimes misleads a new Tcl user into thinking that Tcl has ls defined." [1]

All the more reason you wouldn't let a third party CA sign certificates for your bank. Seriously, this is and has always been the weakest point of PKI. We have known instances of bad google.com certificates in the wild, as well as certificates being backdated to meet hash requirements.

An internal CA is simply not the problem here, particularly since you can audit your admins' actions.

They took 126 million geotagged images from the web, bined them into 26,000 squares, and trained a neural net to predict which square on the earth an image was taken in. That's very poor resolution, but if you see that 20 images taken around the same time are tagged as the square that contains San Francisco, you can be pretty sure they all happened during a trip to San Francisco.

Not all states require an SSN in order to issue an ID.

I was under the impression that every single state requires an SSN to issue a driver's license or id card in order to track and enforce child support order across state lines.

Which states don't require an SSN to issue an ID?

Legal immigrants have passports, and ID cards/driver's licenses from their home country. I'm not sure what will require two forms of REAL ID compliant identification.
Mid life lows are real. I think theres a few factors at play.

First, middle aged people are at the height of their responsibilities in life. Often at the age with children in the home, and parents entering old age. Everybody else needs taken care of.

Financial burden is definately highest, right at the time your salary is likely leveling off. Salaries stop increasing in your 40s.

Also, for the first time in life you start to see your own physical deterioration. Eyesight, facial lines, certain medical issues, which helps to remind one of their own mortality. For men, Testosterone decreases, gut size increases, for many. This is not good for ones mental attitude.

Xanadu was Ted Nelson's proposed version of a hypertext publishing medium that predates the World Wide Web. (I believe he coined the term "hypermedia", but I could be wrong)

It is interesting alternative to "what could have been", and inspired the imagination of technologists in the 70s (I believe).

It featured some unique elements:
- subdivision of "documents" so that sections (sentences, paragraphs) can be folded in from other sources. Somewhat similar to remote CDNs for images, but did chunks of text (e.g. when quoting another article)
- UI: being able to see multiple documents at the same time and how they connect to each other. (Not the same as annotation, but if you can imagine seeing annotations on the side of the screen... something like that)
- greater similarity to the Memex in how information can be interlinked and displayed.
- in built royalty mechanism. (Micro payments)
- files are stored centrally in a docuverse, which is somewhat similar to a block chain in that there is an agreed interpretation of what a document "is" instead of having multiple copies of the same document.

Ultimately, the World aside Web came along and filled the need for a document publishing medium, rendering Xanadu a historical artifact, many of whose ideas have been realized by other projects in other forms.

I'm split. 5G is great but is also being used in a political game re the definition of broadband. ISPs in my area (western canada) are using the existence of faster wireless to claim they are offering broadband to rural addresses via wireless rather than build out proper infrastructure. The stagnation of cable/DSL broadband speeds and basic availability is having serious economic impact. Areas without cable/DSL service are becoming retirement homes devoid of young people as anyone wanting to actually use the internet must shovel money into expensive mobile accounts. 5G's improvements might just continue this pattern.
I feel like there's some cognitive dissonance surrounding hedge funds in popular culture -- on the one hand you have people saying that any outsized short-term gains seen by hedge funds are the result of some selection/survivorship bias, and on the other hand you have people saying that any outsized returns are the result of illegal privileged information (see the TV show 'Billions').

I realize that there are enough hedge funds out there that both things can be happening. It's too bad that there's so little visibility into the industry, it would be fascinating to see some kind of hedge fund taxonomy.

I fear that you are your own worst enemy here. This issue with harassment is not simply that there is something sexually charged about it, but that it is coercive and unwelcome. If we don't cultivate a culture -- corporate or otherwise -- that recognizes the distinction, then people will be very sensitive about sexuality in general.
