YOu have to setup the ACH/Direct Debit with each utility here, you can't just set it up at the bank. And the utilities have crappy websites/processes for doing so- if they allow you to do it at all. They have a monopoly, so why bother with improving customer service?

I'd take that bet. Slack is more like Facebook meets LinkedIn.
1,3 I rarely care about, and if 2 is a concern at such low shutter speeds, then break out the tripod, and exposure delay. I'll set mine for a second or two after mirror up, and voila. Plus, you're going to need new lenses, or extensions to adapt your existing FX lenses to it. The sensor distance won't be correct otherwise.

Of course, it will be fun to play with any new tech.
What we don't know is whether Adobe or someone else revoked it, since anyone with private key can revoke.
Yeah it does, I have Linux on a T460 and T470. It's just with Nvidia graphics, there's the whole Optimus/Bumblebee mess to deal with (unless that's improved recently?)

Intel graphics are way more Linux-friendly OOTB.
Substantially all of BC's power already comes from hydroelectric dams.

I have serious reservations about the process (or lack thereof) used to approve the site C dam. There are also serious questions about whether BC needs the additional generating capacity.

All that said, however, I think I am largely in agreement with you. What seems to be missed in the discussion is that substantially all of Alberta's electricity comes from coal power plants. It is rapidly changing to natural gas which is somewhat better I suppose, but still far from ideal from a global warming point of view. Alberta should be transitioning to hydro power generated in BC which would definitely supply the necessary demand to support site C. However, so far there is no such commitment . . . it doesn't seem to even get serious discussion.
Actually they weren't even demonstrating. It was a gathering of people from inside and outside Amritsar, who came there for a festival. The order against gatherings of more than 4 people weren't distributed well, and so most of those people weren't aware of the order. Dyer then went and ordered the massacre.
I'll give you the point about the way it was worded w.r.t. when the breach was announced. On that though, I did want to point out that if you look at the list of co-sponsors, the last person to sponsor it was Rep Williams of Texas, ON 9/7/17, the day Equifax announced the breach, which is probably just really bad timing that day on his / his staff's part, but also looks LOOKS really terrible, regardless of the actual reason behind it.
That's a paddlin'.
Yes, both kinds of concentration camps are very extreme experiences.

I'm talking more general war and civil war scenarios (e.g. having your city bombed, being in a war, having family members die in such scenarios, etc -- which have been common in many places in the developing world (and Europe).

But the constant terror of a concentration camp for months or years on end is another thing.
Yes, that's my biggest complaint about the show in its four-season history. The whole thing was so inaccurate it made me furious.
That is an option for most of my utilities, but I haven't set it up. I moved a year ago so it would have been difficult to estimate usage at that point. I guess I could set it up now.
Much of SV is wary of MBAs. But I don't think that view extrapolates to founders since they are a different breed than employees.
Dear Future Wife/Marriage Manifesto
Can someone knowledgeable provide more details about the "tri-specific" nature of the attack and what effects this might have on the selective resistance of the remaining strains? (e.g. is it something that would take three simultaneous mutations to overcome, thus being much less likely than any resistance that only takes one, due to HIV's incredibly high mutation rate, though those that do achieve all three would still be resistant?)

I think there's also a certain amount of marketing. You don't want everything to be "sexy"; you want some things to be boring, unnoticed, and just work. Saying you're making shipping sexy is just saying "we're going to ignore the core logistics of reliably getting your stuff where it's going as quickly as possible", which is going to scare away customers.
This is a marvelous summation of exactly what is polarizing about Uber's business model, in specific, and the recently popular disregard for regulation and oversight of the Valley, in general.

If someone feels safer driving slowly they are completely in their right to do so even if it is a detriment to others. They should if at all possible let others pass them and definitely not prevent such passings but it is not always possible for them to do so, and they may not know the road as well as you do to know in advance about some stop they could take to release the pressure.

I'm not usually one of the slow drivers and I do get annoyed at the slow drivers when I can't pass them but I will still keep my distance and avoid trolling them with horns, lights or otherwise. The road is for everyone and some will be slower than me and some will be faster.

Buying a company that owns an asset or holds a license is a reasonable way to obtain said asset or license. Nothing wrong with that.
If it were just the bytecode then it would not have failed. JVM bytecode and WASM have plenty of similarities. What cost Java is the stdlib surface area and security model. Also that it is a separate runtime was annoying, like Adobe with Flash, there was one primary vendor.

So many JVM bugs and a huge stdlib. WASM has no real lib, and when it does, it's security model is already restrictive... there's no disk, network, threads (yet), etc.
>> they can certainly tell that it still looks better

The thing is that this is highly subjective and widely varies from person to person. Sometimes it's related to the content (subject) of the photo, sometimes it's the colors, sometimes it's the sharpness, etc.

And sometimes the reason why the photo is "better" has more to do with the photographer's camera settings or technical choices than how good the camera is on paper.

I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable of cameras, but I will consistently say that a high DOF iPhone portrait is better than a portrait with razor thin DOF with silky bokeh shot on a Sony A9, when the A9 is clearly the superior camera. That's because my definition of "looks better" is highly subjective and unique to my own tastes and biases.
After some research I'm going with Lego. Will start with basic kit then I can try to automate later.
How is the article so off on "revenue" ("expects revenue of $500 million this year")? According to Forbes they do 7,000 shipments per month averaging $2k in value of which Flexport takes 15%. That's $2.1m/month ($25m annual run rate). Possibly they meant some sort of Gross Shipping Costs.
Might also be worth mentioning the [CSS Round Display Level 1 spec][1]. Unusually-shaped displays aren't a problem unique to the iPhone X.

No. Surveillance is far more pervasive in China. Equating the US law and Chinese law is not only incorrect, it is dangerous. The US largely surveils citizens of other countries for terror threats and espionage. China largely surveils its own citizens to suppress dissent. Conflating the two leads people to just shrig their shoulders if/when the US crosses the line.
There is also a sort-of vaccine for HIV called PrEP or something like that. I'm not sure how you get it but I've seen mention of people using it prophylactically (which is what its designed for). And really without HIV, there isn't too much to be afraid of. HPV has a vaccine for many of the dangerous strains, and the other strains infect the vast majority of the populace anyway so even calling them a 'disease' is arguable. Same with herpes. It's for life, but almost everyone has it. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc, are easily treatable except for the antibiotic resistant forms which are (thankfully) very isolated in their spread.

Aiming for 'less sexual activity' is a very bad goal. Abstinence is harmful. The tremendous health benefits of sexual activity are myriad. The amount of research backing up the idea that modern society is dangerously sexless is huge. One of my favorites was a study of ALL men, across all ages, socioeconomic groups, everything, of an entire town I believe somewhere in northern Scotland (maybe Ireland?)... those who had the most frequent orgasms had a 50% lower chance of having died of any cause over the 15 year period of their study. They also had very significantly reduced incidence of heart disease, cancer, and other health problems. But, of course, such things get reported as 'health benefits of sex' and not 'health dangers of abstinence' because they assume people are abstinent by default which is ludicrous. We'll know if public sentiment is changing when the headlines change.
No, enlight me. What does it mean to you?

(disclosure: I'm an engineer at Swift Navigation)

Indeed, carrier phase and multi-frequency+constellation measurements are drifting into consumer hardware, but I can say that it's probably going to be a Good Long While before we full realize its benefits. The use of cell phones (and cheap cell phone antennas) is an active area of research, particularly for organizations aiming to make high-accuracy GNSS positioning widely accessible outside of specialty markets (i.e., agriculture and surveying). It's an interesting area to be in for sure:

Thanks for commenting this. I'm sure there is some relation, sure. But, the correlations in this article and many other articles on hyperallergic are utterly materialist, unimaginative and limited. This is not to say they are wrong but I think they are a cumulative distraction from the understandings art history beholds.

The article gets so lost in drawing material correlations that a newcomer to art history would be drawn to overlook the human correlations.
That's his/her point; they were trying to point out why Flash and WebAssembly aren't analogous.. Flash was a cohesive toolchain; not a build target.

Probably, but only the first use case needs more performance.
Because you get a runway to find a new job, you get a paycheck while you're on that runway, AND you get a severance at the end of the rainbow to tide you over if you haven't found that new job (or a killer bump to the savings/nice vacation/whatever) if you HAVE found a new job by the end. In addition to your PTO payout, or whatever.

Else if you flip your desk and walk out, you get your PTO and now you have no job.
That's very much the question indeed. All that's really needed for a native experience on both Android and iOS is a native ARM binary, optionally bundled with webkit, but then that's what native runtime environments for Android and iOS have already built-in.
Its a joke; the scroll bar doesn't really do that

To me that means something is horribly wrong with our understanding of HIV.
Comparing their subscores it's obvious that without the new zoom and bokeh categories the Pixel would have stayed on top.

Pixel v iPhone 8+

90 - 89 : Exposure and Contrast

80 - 78 : Color

98 - 74 : Autofocus

70 - 64 : Texture

65 - 68 : Noise

50 - 73 : Artifacts

81 - 84 : Flash

24 - 51 : Zoom

30 - 55 : Bokeh

91 - 89 : Video

I guess picking the "best" comes down to how important those features are to each customer. Though Google isn't standing still, the Pixel 2 is announced in two weeks.
No, you still need a LARGE sensor to capture all that light. You're just not fitting that in a cell phone.
In many ways, the JVM bytecode is a superset of WASM. That's why I wrote https://github.com/cretz/asmble.
That's the thing though, they wouldn't be killing off anything except the $500 sensor shell. A DSLR is literally a lens platform. Let apple sell the razor, they can continue selling razorblades.

Sell a "case" that holds and attaches lenses for a hundred bucks or so, bundle it with an app, and allow people to continue using the same lenses, which they make more money on anyway. Commercially, this would be a huge win for whichever of the camera giants decides to do this first.

Additionally, under this model, the cost of the phone + case ($800 + $100) is higher than the cost of the DSLR sensor by itself (which runs about $600 new), so it doesn't necessarily make it obsolete, but it gives iPhone owners a lower barrier to entry for DSLR lenses, which I would imagine would drive lens sales quite a bit. I really don't see a downside here, if it's possible on a technical basis

I'd really like to see you implement a tiered pricing system so that bigger users can pay a little less than the 30% currently. There is bound to be some competition springing up quickly and this would be the best way to keep people on board. Otherwise great service :)
I thought it was piracy? Damn, clearly I have to pivot to hating Rotten Tomatoes.
That's horrible, and nonsensical for the time period. With the amount of advocacy, and information available. Why would ANYONE consider not using a condom in uncommitted relationships?
Doesn't seem likely. Do you have data on this?
IIRC because the first function could deallocate it.
Children are the property of their fathers. Preserving the value of that property through preserving the virginal status of females is the responsibility of both sons and daughters. For a son to have sex with the daughter of another man, both the daughter and that boy have committed a property crime against the girls father. If she gets pregnant, he will never be able to get as big of a dowry when he sells her into marriage.

At least, that's where the idea of tying sexuality to economic considerations like 'responsibility' and phrases like 'saving yourself' come from.
I think it would be much better if it was black on the edge like a letter boxed video.

Huh, must be keyboard size/shape differences but palm-pressing "fn" on my keyboard (where "ctrl" would be on a normal keyboard) while hitting "shift" with my pinkie is impossible without mashing other keys around them, and is really uncomfortable. End up pressing "shift" with the side of my first knuckle, that finger's so contorted. I use pinkie + ring when I hit two modifiers on that side, though that does mean I take a finger off "WASD", for gaming purposes.

It'd be easier to train myself to hit shift+caps (as a ctrl) with just my pinkie than to do the palm + pinkie method, I think. Again, probably a hardware difference.
The instantaneous hands on control is enticing, I've played with analog audio and the immediacy of alterations and infinite resolution is palpable in comparison to their digital equivalents. He should live stream some 'art' pieces to music, I'd watch :)

You're kidding, of course.

Thing is, the ratings are irrelevant. Someone is paying to see these movies, else executives wouldn't approving them to be made. It's all about money, and brainless, rehashed, sequel nonsense makes tons of it. You want someone to blame? Blame the public. It's not Rotten Tomatoes or the Movie Industry. The latter is giving everyone exactly what they want.

I don't understand how what you described is ADHD and not average human behavior. If people were not easily distracted by Twitter and Facebook, they wouldn't have a functioning business. There are entire business models that rely on the truism that a huge fraction of the population will procrastinate on a trivial task that will clearly and unambiguously benefit them. Mail in rebates for instance. When does this become ADHD?
Even if there were a perfect HIV cure, and antibiotics were 100% effective, there is a risk of infertility from chlamydia, etc.

So no, unprotected sexual freedom isn't a practical goal for medical science. Better to use condoms instead.
Importantly, while the bacterial STIs were curable, Herpes was definitely not.
To be fair, downvotes are common when you call for legislation from an apparent basis of ignorance, as you did. They shouldn't be taken personally, but simply as an indication that your advice isn't considered especially relevant or helpful. Most of us have been there at one time or another ("There oughtta be a law...")
That's definitely something which you can tell employees if you're making an app like that, but it's tolerable to use on customers too, in a pinch.

They probably won't believe you, but it's better sounding than nothing when features and tangible results are sparse.

And hey! When all else fails, it's at least guaranteed to not be false advertising.
Oh, I will take the other side of this bet.
