AFAICT, the British Empire gets much more criticism for its various evils than other historical empires do. Very few people in the West, for example, even know about the ethnic cleansing of the Greeks under the Ottoman Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_genocide), and that was less than a century ago. Probably the worst European colonialists were the Belgians, of all people, under King Leopold II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_S...). And I've virtually never heard anyone talk about all the wars and conquests in India before the British came. The Mughal Empire was not conquered with sunshine and rainbows, etc.
If it is true they do stuff to please sponsors it's equally suspicious they never reviewed the iPhone 7 Plus camera when Google used their numbers while presenting the Pixel phone.
I studied microbiology at university (over 20 years ago admittedly), but that was pretty much what they taught us. People often don't take the full course because they feel better, then the infection reestablishes itself.

They also taught us that vaccines are a good thing, yet plenty of people seem to be questioning that as well these days. Reading the replies here feels very like some of the smart sounding yet ignorant comments that some antivaccers make.

Way to lose support from your own people.

I do see the point of the intention, but as far as I understand it, it never really worked for preventing that anyway.
WebAssembly itself is just (more or less) an instruction set, not a complete runtime platform. It doesn't define APIs for rendering, audio, input, filesystem access, networking, etc...

Electron provides all that, but at the very high cost of shipping a complete browser runtime with your app.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with skipping the current year's iPhone. I don't know why people have this mentality. For any brand, really. Most new phones nowadays are incremental upgrades, not "evolutions" so to speak.

I'm on my iPhone 6 (not even the 6s) right now and I'll be upgrading after three years of having it, but only because the screen is shattered, battery life is bad, and sometimes it's a bit slow.
I'm guessing this is less about trying to avoid setting too high a bar, and more about taking the term sheet that offered a lower upfront valuation but with much cleaner terms and less overall deal hair.

Either way, this is super impressive from Ryan and the rest of the Flexport team. Kudos.

Probably not, but I was speaking much more informally. :) To be honest, I don't care whether it makes sense linguistically or not. It takes more than one hand to count the number of times I've looked up the meaning of holistic, because I encounter it in a context I care about so infrequently that I can never remember the meaning (at least I can never remember it accurately enough to not be unsure whether I have it correct. From context you can get the gist, but nuance may be lost). Wholistic works entirely better for me.

I'm not trying to be snarky (in case it sounds like it):

But I thought that was the obvious part? Brains are made of neurons and (I thought) neurons produce biproducts that have to be "cleaned up" or they slow down/stop working. Isn't that also why (or one possible reason they think why) people with Alzheimer lose their brains? That it was somehow related to the brain's neuron "clean up" helpers that stop working or die off.

Then again, the less obvious thing is that the spinal cord has neurons. So I wonder if this comes into play there...
I'm not sure what you're arguing. MSSQL is available on RDS and to quote the parent comment:

> ...SQL Server on Linux for your production instances, but you're well off the beaten path...first advice you'll hear seems likely to be "try it on Windows and see if it reproduces there"...

You dont think this is hyperbole? Have you actually used SQL Server or Microsoft support before? They do not treat enterprise customers this way and both Linux and MSSQL have plenty of tooling available. There's nothing challenging here.

> What I don't see is a reason to care

You're not the target market then. MSSQL has some compelling features and a big ecosystem, adding cross-platform support and a much easier installation process only helps customers with more options for deployment.

I'm no corporate apologist, but I have trouble seeing how Nestle should pay the people who aren't supplying their water for the water they use.

Oh yea, I'm certainly not questioning whether it made sense for Amazon to buy up some planes, because they definitely ship enough volume (even just domestically) to experiment with that.

Though I would argue ships have advantage in both mass and volume, but are significantly lacking in latency.

Dunno, I have the Google Pixel XL, it's the first camera that has made me not take my serious camera (a Fuji X series mirrorless) on trips. The quality of photos it produces is amazing, and the default camera app has some seriously good processing. You can do more with a serious camera, but I'm not sure it'll do much better with quick snaps.

You're right though, the constant marketing of phone cameras is kind of funny. I have no doubt the iPhone makes incremental improvements every year, as do other phone cameras.
> Everything in mathematics is a function.

No, everything in mathematics is precisely what it is defined to be by whoever is doing the defining. If you want to introduce extraneous extra concepts into a theory, then that's fine; for example, Russell and Whitehead seemed to enjoy contorting set-based constructions into areas where they're completely unnecessary.

However, care should be taken to remain compatible with the original definitions. In this case, there is a clear distinction between "a foo" and "a function which takes some input and returns a foo which depends on which particular value was provided as input". To introduce functions as a 'universal substrate' such that everything is a function, then complain that every "foo" is a function, then introduce the concept of 'constant function' serves no purpose other than to obfuscate perfectly clear definitions under a mountain of irrelevant one-upmanship.

> So now it seems that you've just spent all this time and effort to point out that diagonalization is not a constant function.

That's what most of the time and effort have been spent on, yes. That's not at all what I was trying to "point out" though. I was simply assuming that this was common knowledge (for those familar with Cantor's proof, at least), and so I defined some terms like "self-contained" precisely so I that I could ignore algorithms like diagonalization.

> That's true, but I don't think it's a particularly interesting observation.

I agree it's not interesting. But I wouldn't even call it an "observation". Again, it's simply a trivial consequence of the definitions I gave, and I gave those definitions precisely so that I can ignore diagonalization, for this reason.

My actual observations are along the lines of "the steps of Cantor's proof can be rearranged in these ways, which give rise to these alternative results". Diagonalization doesn't matter for any of that, but you seem to keep trying to:

- Insert diagonalization into those rearrangements, despite it being a type error to do so (because diagonalization is a function, not a number; modulo whatever 'constant function' axioms would make you feel better)

- Complain that those rearrangements are "wrong" (they're not; they're my definitions, so they're "right" by definition!).

- Restate over and over various ways that my definitions do not correspond to Cantor's proof. Which is the entire point.

- "Prove wrong" those definitions, by showing that they're incompatible with various aspects of Cantor's proof (e.g. the order of steps) and diagonalization (e.g. its type). Which is completely backwards, since those definitions were chose precisely so that Cantor's proof and diagonalization will not work for them.
Fundamentally, I think this is an issue with DNS itself. It assumes trust, it assumes central control, and it assumes nobody is trying to screw with you on a higher level. In the long run it'll probably need to be replaced with something that works more like public keys.
I'm kind of surprised that there weren't any console-based readers listed.
The referendum hasn't been ruled illegal. The constitutional court grants an automatic stay on any law at the Spanish central government request. Automatic. They haven't made a judgement.

And by the way, this is a political problem that the Spanish government refuses to tackle politically, making it a criminal issue. Is it criminal to want to not belong to a country that thinks that promoting a referendum is a crime?

Also, El Pais is certainly not partisan, no...

US economy flights are definitely worse than EU economy flights. At most US domestic flights you don't have free food or drinks, you don't have an in-flight entertainment system in front of you. People are much worse on US planes than on EU planes (i.e. don't know have to behave).

Of course, that's just my anecdotal experience and I guess it varies based on subjective preferences.

I am comparing Delta etc. to Lufthansa etc., and Spirit etc. to EasyJet etc.

I just go to the supermarket and buy a Bitcoin card, for 20eu, and use it immediately to buy things on the Internet.

Its just there, right next to the iTunes credit, the Amazon credit, the Google Playstore credit, etc. Little cards that I get .. approximately .. 20 minutes of physical time with, before I discard them and just get the order placed.

Its hard to deal with that, usability-wise, but I guess you have to be in an "expanding market", like midde-Europe/close-to-Russia to appreciate how weird it is to just buy Btc at 7/11,Billa, and use it to ship stuff from China.

Edit: i.e. I don't really wanna do it with Euro/$ no more, because Btc. in China is a value proposition...
Often there is a part you don't see here where the lower valuation has a lower amount of money you can take. Would you rather sell 10% of the company for 80M on an 800M post-money valuation or 12.5% of the company for $125M at a 1B post-money valuation if you only need 80M to hit your growth objectives with a buffer and 2.5% of the company can likely be sold for a lot more than 45M once you need that extra money. It's also not smart to publicize you're taking less money as it makes you look more under pressure in the future and if it ends up being wrong to not take the extra cash you don't want everyone knowing you could have had $45M more in the bank. It gets even worse if the post-money valuation involves 15% vs 10% which can be viable as well.

For sure, a lot of the value proposition of Uber could be seamlessly be replaced by a different company. However one thing that Uber has that is totally proprietary to them is their global mindshare. For example, when I go to the US, I use the Uber app whenever I can, because it's the exact same experience as at home and I know what I'm going to get. For travellers, this continuity of experience is great.

I agree for compulsory user consent to mine however, this should be only compulsory for web owners having throttle greater than 0.5 for desktops and for all throttle rates for mobile devices. Anything less than 0.5 throttle on desktops should be allowed to run anonymously. My two cents!

I'd like to know how others do this as well. I left my iPad Air on a plan. Older iPad I have is too slow to be used leisurely. iPhone is okay but sometimes I like having a more involved break. In that case I'd prefer having an ipad at minimum. I like to walk around at a fast pace while taking my break too when possible so a chromebook wouldn't work so well.

Because I just have my phone as my break device. I've started to blur the lines again and take breaks at my desk too much and feel like I procrastinate more now. I just set up a productivity app that blocks sites and apps. Will see how it goes until I buy a newer iPad or think of something.

This is the argument for single provider right there. Patients are not customers and a doctors job is not to make the customer "happy" - the job is to make them well.

People do not vote because their vote does not matter, politicians do not care what the majority voters want, they care about selected few elite voters want

Want to get more people voting there are a few things that need to change

1. End First past the post... Anything is better, IRV, Alternative Vote, something else.

2. End 2 Party Gerrymandering, Parties should not have any control over distracting at all Should follow some other function like Zip Code, or Taxing Jurisdiction, or some other government function, not just for voting

3. Implement the Wyoming Rule for for congress

4. Pipe Dream... Put the federal government back into constitutional limits and reverse Wikard v Filburn or pass a law that renders it void

1-3 would do alot, #4 would do the most good

Election reform, (not election finance ) is needed but too many people focus on the money, the money is just a symptom of the problem, not the actual problem. Solve the underlying systemic issue with the voting process and the money becomes pointless and will dry up on its own

Definitely - CA is particularly bad about this; I've always thought of it as a killing jar for companies.

Though with ArcSight, there really is no reason it had to go this way. When HP bought them, they were the undisputed market leader in an extremely lucrative and growing segment that has continued to grow in the years since.

If CA is a like a trucking company that buys old but still serviceable trucks on the cheap, and then runs them into the ground without maintenance, HPE and ArcSight is like buying a Ferrari at top price, leaving it to molder in the woods somewhere for a decade, then selling it for scrap. Just a ridiculous waste by a company that has nothing going for it but momentum.
I'm in the deep south. I think California is a good name for this. It invokes an image of a different style of "camping".

Note : take the review with a pinch of salt. DXOmark do not review phones or cameras from companies that are not "collaborating" with them. They also have paid partnerships with a few manufacturers (see Oneplus 5 launch).

In this case, DXOMark magically added a metric (bokeh and zoom) just one week after the iPhone 8 review. Of course this is a good plus for Apple. Before iPhones were behind Google Pixel, behind HTC U11, Samsung S8+. They were not in the top 10. Now magically, they get to be on top. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a discussion or collaboration between doxmark and apple to review their metrics to have iPhone 8 and X under the best light possible

Poisoning a town's water supply to sell more bottled water is a rather cartoonish scheme.

Someone above mentioned that they do defense contract. From what I understand, once you get something like that with the government, your pretty much locked in and get vast amounts of revenue repeatedly year after year. The government, can't just switch to another provider, because often times the provider needs to go through some big expensive review process.
> If you're thinking of responding to this with a comment about how the British "improved" India by industrializing it, or all the "benefits" India got from being plundered for 450 years

I once overheard my white coworker say, that the British did India a huge favor, by bringing them English. It was in his belief that back then, the Indians were just killing each other for fun. So the British did them a huge favor by colonizing them.

And because of that, today, India is a major software player for outsourcing, all thanks to the British for colonizing them, and bringing them English.

I sat there thinking to myself, this is unbelievable. I didn't want to talk politics in a business setting, so I ignored it.

The British destroyed a civilization. Enslaved a generation. And enriched themselves in the process. But all that is swept under the rug, because they brought English to their colonies.
