Pretty rule, but it has not happened in Catalonia.

And what the rule says is that it will spread, not that is enough to declare independence of a territory when 60% of the population is against it.

When the percentage is 60% or more, we can start talking about inevitability

IIRC the idea is that (1) it allows third-party cookies of the websites you actually use (like Facebook so FB integration works), and (2) it allows cookies on new websites for the first day or so, and then it starts blocking them.

Right. Thought you meant "the file/assembly is the module, no way around it" was the concept.
So your argument is that because the Russians stole lots of cold land, full of natural resources, that explains their shortcomings relative to the US?

Could there be other things at play, like absolute autocracy dominating the Russian state even today? The Germans had plenty of space and resources had they not lost it trying to dominate their neighbors.

Hit character limit, continued..

Any help gathering even just a few great reads on any (directly related; or thinking-shaping) would be greatly appreciated. I know there's some famous reading lists out there already that would cover many of these (feel free to pull from them, if vetted personally), like Alan Kay's (http://www.squeakland.org/resources/books/readingList.jsp) but I'd like recent (within a decade) books as well as historical, and for the recommendations to be target/purpose free (I think that Alan Kay one was for business students..).
I'm not talking about the article, I'm talking about your overreaction.
Speaking as a "Enterprise" with over 800 Windows PCs deployed to students and teachers. The primary draw of a Chrome device to us has been the cost. The pixelbook does not have that advantage. It will be a very hard sell if the pixel devices end up costing just as much as an equivalent Lenovo ThinkPad. If they can't compete on price anymore they need to make the features at least as good or better. They just are not there yet.
I reckon this is where its going. It will allow for a local cloud. Need M*SQL, Elastic, Redis, etc? Run it in a container. The PC is powerful enough to do it.
check out Stanford Scholar[1], they create talks on hot research papers(not only ML/AI) and then try to explain the papers the intuition and technicalities of the paper, most of the talks are translated to other languages as well

Apple left ad blocking to third party developers. You can find plenty of ad blocking apps on the App Store. I imagined they did this for political reasons because they don’t want to the arbitrator of deciding whether something is an ad or not.
He is not the only one to make that point though. de Mesquita is less controversial and makes the same point in The Dictator's Handbook.
I’d like a bit more detail. Instructions to repro ideally. Too much is left out of the video (show me the items it will access and the access permissions for those items) and I’m inclined to think it’s staged or Mr. Wardle didn’t understand something fundamental (e.g. if you built/debugged the app on the same system where you made the video, you may have already authorized the app to fetch items from the keychain.)
I agree, the good thing about Apple and Microsoft is I know what they want to sell me.

Apple want me to buy relatively expensive devices on a regular basis and ideally a cloud subscription.

Microsoft want me to buy subscriptions to their cloud services and ideally devices running their OS.

In both cases the value for them is fairly clear and they have limited incentives to do anything that might jepordise those revenue flows.

Companies like Google who (IIRC) get over 90% of their revenue from advertising, need to make money by selling information about me to 3rd parties for advert targeting, which I'm not so keen on.

Personally I prefer to pay someone for a product/service directly.
I think his point is that they shouldn't be using one liners at all, despite line A winning over BCD. He wants them to instead use proper text and descriptions.

>>They buy it because Dell and Lenovo replace/repair a device in 24 hours.

This.

I worked in the Dell Call Center in Bangalore, India around 2005. Customer support was treated as the most important function in the entire company. I remember they would make us agents skip meals if the call volumes got high. Managers would walk to the cafeteria can carry us meals/sandwiches to our desks. Breaks were highly partitioned throughout the day. It was 2 fifteen minute breaks, which you could take anytime. And then a 30-45 minute meal break. Every single thing in the building looked like revolved around one single thing- 'customer satisfaction'.

The metrics for performance were designed around these quality parameters. resolve rate(solutions/calls), mean time to resolve(span of solution calls/no of calls)... things like that. There used to even y-jack(eavesdrop) on our calls randomly for evaluation. There were also strict penalties for goofing up, upto things like getting fired if you make them more than 3 times.

I could go on..

The point being these people are good at customer service because they take that business very seriously. As techies we may laugh at that, but that is whole different league of business with cut throat performance requirements.
All that is true but I think the OP's point was that it is easy to make yoghurt, not that it is easy to make some specific type. And it is easy if you can get hold of a pot of live yoghurt, then all you need to add is warm milk and patience and you will have something just as good as a lot of the ordinary supermarket stuff. Of course, yes, it is a bit of a novelty because it isn't cheaper by a wide enough margin to make the effort worthwhile.

Checked on their Freenode channel. They are looking at not total replacement but will replace certain features.
I had the same impression and check some older pages :

https://www.apple.com/itunes/ and https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/

The main changes are :

- JS triggered animation (webagencies do love this ).
- San Francisco instead of Myriad as a font
Though I appreciate the effort they're putting into GPGTools, issues preventing one from using it on Sierra went on for more than half a year after Sierra went public.

I deem that unusable.
Somewhat off topic, but I'm becoming to realise that reading product pages like this is sort of like reading only the advertising pages of a magazine, but in this case I have the choice of what advertising I want to view; it's not enough to simply get information about the new system (I don't even have a Mac) but I need to be sold it as well. And the advertising is very impressive - strong colours, beautiful photography, crisp and clear screenshots and the "flat" icons. I can understand why there are so many people taken in by this advertising.
I have the pro guitar and played with RB3 before Rocksmith - Rocksmith is an order of magnitude better for someone who is still learning (and I think that's 90% of the target market).

The only advantage of RB3 is the ability to play together with plastic instrument aficionados, but the unforgiving implementation of the real guitar experience just made it not fun for me.
Do you have any data to back that up? If it's so easy to report Uber drivers, where's Uber's statement showing the data it has collected regarding its supposed lower offense rates? Why hasn't the London government taken into account this data? Or is the best evidence available random anecdotes?
It's interesting that different people took up the cause of highlighting Lenovo's faults. Unless it's the same person using alts, it looks like people are quite mad at Lenovo.
Indeed, especially #1. There's a thing with the web : it's easy. If we start making more native apps, especially desktop apps, we then have to consider users' environment (we do not control the execution environment, like with a server), we have to implement error reporting, manage the propagation of updates, etc. Centralizing data is easier too : no need to manage data synchronization, it's just about putting everything in the same database.

It seems like we'll have to wait for users to complain more about privacy issues before the effort is worth it, from a business point of view.

The alternative, of course, being to find a way to make native apps as easy. Nothing prevent us to make updates automatically apply (many apps do that, actually). Applications can run in some sort of VM/container so environment is controlled. And regarding distributed databases, we already have a good idea of what it could look like with blockchains, even if it would obviously be way better to build something with databases in mind from the start. For example, servers could be used for people to register to a service and be added to groups. Then, clients contact servers to get a list of peers, and then they sync their group database by executing transactions (somehow like migrations).
I can confirm that – I also don't yet get the update
Godwin's law is not a law of nature, and Godwin himself stated that it is being abused to stifle debate;

From Wikipedia;

Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate. Similar criticisms of the "law" (or "at least the distorted version which purports to prohibit all comparisons to German crimes") have been made by the American lawyer, journalist, and author Glenn Greenwald.

In December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: "If you're thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump. Or any other politician."

On August 13, 2017, Godwin made similar remarks on social networking websites Facebook and Twitter with respect to the two previous days' Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, endorsing and encouraging efforts to compare its alt-right organizers to Nazis.

React Native Air Progress Bar
React Native Air Progress Bar
https://github.com/kis/react-native-air-progress-bar

We often need to customize our mobile application according to our brand style needs. The easiest solution is to grab some UI kit, make some fast customizations, add custom styling etc. But some components is hard for customizing. I mean progress-bars, you know. So this is react-native progress-bar component, which could be useful when you need to customize default progress-bar with different icons of current progress.

This feature could be really killer in you mobile application brand style. You could use icons from react-native-vector-icons repo or even your own. Currently you have plane icon by default. Also cool thing is that you have animation from initial progress to the current progress value. So progress bar could be determinate or indeterminate. Useful when you need the progress indicator for some step by step activities.

Project uses React Native Animated API. Each time you update props, you will see the animation of progress-bar. The project is in search for contributors.

It is PaaS, but with a little less actual getting-dirty-tooling and a little more life-can-be-so-simple marketing.

Are you a manager or an engineer who tries to gain public attention? Then use Serverless. The marketing is so good, you'll win in every meeting.

Are you the engineer who actually fixes the problems? Stay as far away from marketing-heavy solutions as you can. What you actually want in this case are tools that let you look inside, open up all the complexity to you, and therefore help you debug and learn the current context. In that case other PaaS solutions are preferable.

It looks like Google may target devs and leverage containers (i.e. Docker) to run to their cloud services or even other OSes locally.

After all, Google is a SaaS and developing a SaaS requires back-end services. I run a SaaS and on the dev side, we've dockerized the database, cache, and other services. Google's plan may be to provide local versions of their cloud services for development on the PC.

The PC is powerful enough to run all of this. 512GB of storage and (hopefully) a powerful processor would explain this.
A tooltip on hover over the emoji that shows "THINKING FACE" would be a nice feature. Could even be browser native so websites don't have to change anything...
I wish Apple would bite the bullet and release actual "pro" laptops with Xeons, ECC, and high end GPUs - similar to what it's doing with the iMac Pro. ECC would largely eliminate the need to reboot, as well as providing much better data integrity.

Dell, HP and Lenovo all have such machines.
I tried sass on rather big project where several people contribute to it. It seems like Sass doesn't help keep the code clean. A scheme like css-architecture [1] or oocss is required to keep the css code manageable.

"I’ve heard a few reasons:" ... that you've considered, then cherry picked two of them, so you can confirm your views?

To properly reason why the approach is wrong, shouldn't you consider all significant reasons, including backwards compatibility as probably the biggest one?

"New language that learns from the mistakes of languages before it" would generally be better than "language and runtime that is keeping compatibility with a programming language that was heavily rushed just to fill a feature point for a web browser"

Can a Phoenix of Accountability Emerge from the Ashes of the Equifax Breach?
I assume you have no viable internet connection to follow provided links, so citing may be useful:

>Additionally, the CCTV has had only a 3-15% success rate in identifying suspects of crime, burglary, etc. Given the generous assumption of equating the cameras' ability to stop crime to stopping terrorism, there would still only be a 15% success rate at the most. Counter-terrorism methods must be 100% effective or people will be murdered. This seriously impacts the argument that CCTV surveillance (as it is being done currently) would be able to effectively stop terrorism.

Hope these non-made up numbers clear some details on topic, my negative friend.
FYI (not because it’s particularly relevant to the sort of hashing that is being talked about, but because it’s a useful piece of info that might interest people, and corrects what I think is a misunderstanding in the parent comment): perfect hash functions are a thing, and are useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function. So long as you’re dealing with a known, finite set of values, you can craft a useful perfect hash function. As an example of how this can be useful, there’s a set of crates in Rust that make it easy to generate efficient string lookup tables using the magic of perfect hash functions: https://github.com/sfackler/rust-phf#phf_macros. (A regular hash map for such a thing would be substantially less efficient.)

Crafting a perfect hash function with keys being the set of words from the OED is perfectly reasonable. It’ll take a short while to produce it, but it’ll work just fine. (rust-phf says that it “can generate a 100,000 entry map in roughly .4 seconds when compiling with optimizations”, and the OED word count is in the hundreds of thousands.)
So would I.. normally quick to dismiss. I'm not familiar with Mr Wardle, but he seems to have some serious followers. I was hoping someone here has some background information.
Not sure that's fair. I think his point was that instead of improving performance by switching to async and navigating callback soup and task unfairness, we should really be improving the performance of context switching, and he probably has a point.

Just a few weeks ago there was an interview with Ryan Dahl where he said:

"...I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would definitely use Go for that. And honestly, that’s basically the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server side system ever."[0]

And yet, microsoft started incorporating ads inside of windows 10. The business models helps, but if you can both sell a product and get ad revenue, why wouldn't you ?

In apple's case, they have a fairly small but dedicated marketshare that cares deeply about those issue. That's why I trust them to not sabotage their product. Microsoft has a monopoly, they don't need to care.
Those statistics don't include the amount of money spent fund-raising for more money, e.g. the big ones can spent almost a third of their fund raising on more fund raising:

"Download applications from a trusted source"
Oh, that's great. Except it's apparently none of that - Opera has discovered Yahoo catalog's Software section, cca 1998:
"The software itself is downloaded from and offered by independent, third-party providers. By providing a link to software, Opera does not imply approval or endorsement of that software. The software is not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, reliability, appropriateness, or completeness."

Mostly I'd guess they don't have the fabrication capability to do this. Nikon as far as I can tell doesn't make any of their own sensors. Canon doesn't make the sensors in their cheaper cameras (from what I can tell from googling, and my own teardowns).

Sony does, and a number of smartphones use Sony sensors.

Nuclear deterrence has been a controversial topic for 50 years. There have always been arguments for nuclear disarmament instead.

I took the point of this article to be that the ICBM portion of the US triad does not work on NK since a missile must overfly China or Russia.

I personally don't think there is much risk of war with NK. NK has everything to lose and nothing to gain by starting any sort of war.
