Its a natural reaction to all those PC Blockwardens, patrolling every inch of society, telling one how to walk, how to speak and what behaviours are okay. Yelling at people who try new things, throwing hissy fits when they are ignored- because what they care about most is not protecting some class of citizens from the normal insult that is life, but that everybody better listen to them.

If you have the choice between one far away Stalin who might even improve your life against another loud entrenched special interest group (taxi drivers) , and a thousand little Stalins just around the corner - who want to Tugendterror everyone for - basically fun - i know what i would want.

> Firefox on android still feels significantly more sluggish than chrome.

Interesting because for me it's the exact opposite: Firefox is fast but when I need to open Chrome (webview or full) it's a slow and painful process (tested on two phones, one 3 year old). Maybe it's because Firefox has everything cached and Chrome needs to load from network... Not to mention full screen, aggressive ads :)
It’s not just React-specific. I was correct: the proposal does exactly nothing to make sure class methods are bound to class instances.

Curious what your answer would have been, though. Most of the answers seem to be "find a toy version of it".
There's a lot of add-ons that are unmaintained and those won't get ported. For those, you'll want to look for alternatives.
Maybe it's salary and an accounting entry meant to indicate they treat their underlings like fecal matter?

On a more serious note, the only toilets I know with legs are for injured/disabled people who have issues with mobility, or they are temporary affairs meant to be taken camping. None of those seems likely to cost tens of thousands of dollars, even if they may be considered medical devices.

Here is one such example: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/712PPTaGQDL...

I can't actually see that having a price tag over a few hundred dollars. I could see it costing up to a few hundred dollars, if it's medical equipment, but only if it is somehow certified for certai weight ranges, durability standards, and made of special materials meant to difficult for bacteria to live on and easy to clean.

They do charge a lot for medical equipment, but not $35,000 for a toilet.
Interesting, but that doesn't answer my question. It's not in any way about voter registration.

I'm asking why can't you be told where to vote - the original thing the article is about - based on your postcode only. But I think I have my answer in another thread.

The fact that it's possible to get it in the US doesn't make it favorable compared to Sweden. The US per capita pays more for healthcare than Sweden, and ACA plan costs are typically higher than many employer group plans.
One option is to use one of the emulators[1] for 80s home computers. For example, while too late to the scene, Spectrum 128K had easy to manipulate audio and graphics via BASIC. Side A of the Horizons tape < http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009230 > that came with the original Spectrum was a great intro to hardware.

There is also ZX Spectrum Next < https://www.specnext.com/shop/ > which brings all the immediate mode goodness in a modern package.

Much of that effort has also gone into Firefox for Android.

Which I might say, it has been the only Android browser supporting extensions and quite a nice browser overall ;-)

Does Microsoft make a browser for Android? Does Apple?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

> If, for example, the State Of California, in the US, were to organize, without constitutional mandate, an "official" referendum calling for succession, Federal Marshall would be all over that in a blink of an eye.

California has, in fact, held initiatives (“referendum” has a particular meaning in California law which is slightly different than it's general usage) on things which violate the federal Constitution. The federal government has done nothing about the votes, though it has a role in challenging and overturning substantive actions taken by the State based on such initiatives after they've passed.

There's no real reason to think a secession initiative would be any different.
Independent of social mores, I kind of see the strategic logic. If Benchmark defeats him in court, this power is null and the action undone. (The cost: he makes it slightly harder to do his next thing. Maybe.) If Benchmark fails, this is a solid backdoor power move. Between the binaries, this could influence Benchmark's willingness to settle (or sell). He’s doubling down.
He’s a young man with a future to think about. Using all the powers you have can offend some people, some of whom are in a position to help or hinder your future efforts for decades to come.

If this works, it’ll be Jobsian brilliance. If, as more likely, not—then expect his life to get harder.

Every industry seems determined to learn from scratch on their own how to make safety critical systems. None look at an industry that figured this out 50+ years ago - the airframe industry, which has an incredibly good track record of making safe systems out of unreliable parts.

I wrote a couple articles on the general idea:

The Supreme Court of the United States does not consider the Declaration of Independence to have the force of law. It’s merely inspirational. Quoting it is not a valid legal argument.
The CPC launched in 1984, just before the home computer crash. It was a relatively expensive and unproven machine, competing in a market that was glutted with unsold stock at knock-down prices. With the required monitor, the CPC 464 cost £300. That Christmas, you could have had a Spectrum 48k Plus for £140 or an Acorn Electron for £100, with a free tape recorder and a bundle of games. Your mates probably had Specrums, so you could copy all their games for the price of a blank cassette. The CPC wasn't that much cheaper than the BBC Model B, which was the respectable middle-class home computer at the time.

The Speccy was the right computer for the times. It arrived very early on in the home computer boom and was very keenly priced, so it maintained good network effects throughout its lifespan. The machine was cheap, the peripherals were cheap and there were loads of games. Sir Clive didn't fragment the platform by introducing incompatible new models, he just kept cutting the price. The Speccy remained popular into the tail end of the 1980s, almost entirely because of the huge back catalogue of games. We loved it in part because it was a bit crap and because Sir Clive was such a hopeless businessman - the British have a terrible soft spot for underdogs.

The CPC didn't sell well as a home computer, but it was quite attractive as a small-business machine - the monochrome display was cheap and reasonably crisp, the 3" floppy drive was far cheaper than 3.5" drives and it would run CP/M. Lord Sugar responded very shrewdly with the PCW series, which was tailored for business and sold far better than the CPC. Marketing the PCW as a word processor rather than a computer and bundling it with a printer was a minor stroke of genius, with the brilliant slogan "more than a word processor for less than most typewriters".

Amstrad had the last laugh by buying out the rights to the Spectrum, but the sheer quantity of Speccies that Amstrad sold is a testament to the platform.

Actually, only slightly less than 50% wants independence. They are very vocal though. Also, since education in Catalonia is entirely in Catalonian (also they have their own history books), and use of Spanish in public is heavily discouraged, children will grow up in a mostly Catalonian environment, which makes it likely that that percentage will grow over time.
Since Ruth Porat came in as CFO Google has reduced other projects spending to $3.5B p.a on $80B of revenue - less than 5%

Mozilla has revenue of $420M p.a - I don't know what they spent on Firefox OS but it would have been a big bet (hundreds of millions?). At the same time their Firefox marketshare was reduced.
> Segmentation faults are a bad example of a fault you don't want in a safety-critical system.

A safety critical system, absolutely must be able to handle seg faults without compromising safety. Any system that requires that a seg fault will not occur is not a safe system.

Want to use NEO smart contracts? Pay $11,500 or invest $1M
NOTE: It seems this hit a nerve because this post was removed from NEO subreddit really fast...

I started doing the math after familiarizing myself with how NEO works and seeing the smart contract fees blog post (https://neo.org/en-us/blog/details/68) published less than few weeks back.

Let's say I want to make a simple smart contract for a conference ticket sale. The blog post says GAS fee for creating a contract is 500. GAS = $23 now.

GAS = $23 means that 1 smart contract would cost me $11,500 to create.

Technically every NEO generates GAS and every NEO is "a vote." If it costs $11,500 to create a smart contract, you probably shouldn't invest in GAS but instead buy NEO and generate GAS, right?

According to neotogas.com, you need 35,000 NEOs to generate 500 GAS in ONE MONTH. With $30 per NEO, this means that I would have to own $1,045,660.00 worth of NEOs to get 1 smart contract per a month.

To use NEO for smart contracts, you either pay $11,500, or you invest over $1 million.

Obviously, this won't work which means that GAS fee structure won't hold. I saw someone guessing that in the future NEOs would set the GAS prices.

Here's the kicker.

If NEOs set the fees, it will follow supply/demand against everything else in the market. With ETH etc., realistically smart contract fee can't be more than few cents.

Why would anybody buy GAS if NEO changes the valuation on the fly?

The thing is that NEO is incredibly undervalued because NEO GAS setup splits the market between two tokens.

My conclusion based on all this is that GAS is not meant to be traded at all and the trading started simply because GAS could be moved technically. The problem is that the underlying scheme of NEO doesn't allow it to have a stable, tradable value. A lot people who hold a lot of NEO probably know this already but won't speak out loud because it's essentially free money for them.
Control. Control over an entity that theoretically is valued at lots of money.
Great pointers, thanks.

Do they also have any write-up on how did they find Rust during these changes? Was the back count lower than usual? Did the see an increase on productivity?
Printing is not cheap. I haven't seen business costs associated with printing since probably 15 years ago, so this is out of date. We used to lease most of our equipment from the same company that did our supplies and repairs, they'd also upgrade us on a regular basis.

When I last saw the numbers, our lease was right about the $12,000 a month mark. At the time, that was something I noticed because it was more than I made per month - and I owned the company.

I suspect the prices haven't gone down much. Granted, we printed a lot - but I suspect Xerox is going to be around for quite a while longer.
Pure rule of the majority is a perversion of democracy (this holds both on the Spanish and the Catalonian level). Taking minorities into account and giving them appropriate rights is just as integral a part of democracy.
Replying to my own Q to explain why I'm going on about this.

It seems to me the OP set out to answer the question "Where do I vote?".

And they did this by releasing a whole bunch of personal information on every citizen online. That, no matter how good the encryption or how slight the P.I. is, strikes me as a bad idea.

Who's to say that in 6 months a flaw isn't revealed in the encryption method that leaves it all open? Or in a year there isn't a breakthrought in brute forcing and suddenly it's easy to open? And while you could argue the P.I. is slight (DOB, ZIP and ID only) maybe it's actually very powerful to bad people when combined with other data sets?

Basically, if there was any way to create a data set to answer the question "Where do I vote?" without including any Personal Information (like you can in the UK) that is so much better, because then you have an open data set you can pass around freely in as many ways as possible with no fancy crypto needed and no worries about personal information leaking. You could even print the damn thing and put it up in the town square, no fancy tech needed.

ps. Some people are talking about the question of "Am I registered to vote correctly?". That does require Personal Information in a DB, no way around that. But that's not what the original article was about. That very clearly says "Where to vote? ... how is the catalan government supposed to notify people their assigned polling stations?". Being clear about the question really does help sometimes. :-)
I'm sorry for asking this, but can anyone tl;dr the slideshow? The satellite was blindly receiving and rebroadcasting signals from a misbehaving cell tower?
Python, Rebol (sure, it's fairly stale, but that's not really relevant to the question), any of the maintained Logo derivatives...

What we lack, now, is a computer that boots up into one of those options and comes with a nice programming guide for it.
Really interesting article. I used ext js for a project and found the components worked better than anything I've ever used. The grid is super powerful and polished. Setting up a server backed customized drop down is super easy. Lookups are powerful. Trees and charts are powerful. Their dialog builder works super well. A lot of the components can be built, positioned, embedded with a purely declarative json syntax. If it stayed under the BSD license I have no doubt we would all be using it today. For building super data heavy internal enterprise apps it's amazing. Check out their component examples here -

Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend using it due to the licensing mess. So depressing.

I use Firefox primarily because of the Awesome Bar.

I just have to remember like two or three substrings from an URL or page title and bam! the page is there.

For comparison, Chrome's omnibox generally only searches for whole words, while the Google search suggestions take up much precious space, while it is known that most web browsing is directed to pages already visited. Firefox's decision to keep the URL bar and the search bar separate seems sensible.
but not simply drawings. Rather only uncolored outlined ones.
The Boeing 757 had 3 independent hydraulic systems, with 3 actuators per surface. Any two could overpower the 3rd. Any software in the loop was dual, written on different hardware using different algorithms, with a comparator that would physically disconnect both if they disagreed. The pilot could also physically disconnect them via circuit breakers.

There were also various mechanisms to prevent the surfaces from going too far (cannot move full travel at 500 mph, it would rip the airplane apart).

This is all very serious stuff, and was worked over by a lot of people imagining every perverse thing that could happen, and going through the list of things that had happened, to ensure it is safe.

The track record of the 757 in service shows how effective this is:

Law of creation in action
They could open source everything but secret keys for cloud, secure enclave, secure booting, etc. It’s not like it would help knock-off iDevices or putting something other an iOS on an iDevice. Jailbreaking is almost dead and there hasn’t been much movement on making more system features having third-party plugins (ie iOS 11 Control Center Custom Controls).

Ideally, I’d like to see an opensource software and hardware phone with zero opaque binary firmware blobs, something that is independently verified by tearing apart, decapping and X-ray/microscope RTL verification. Security through crypto and the right eyeballs able to scrutinize end products with maximum information.

You cannot cheat biology with feminism or education. Some things are impossible to change overnight, regardless of the social pressure or guilt.

Men are attracted to fit, young females. Maybe because women in the past tended to pick not the youngest but the most powerful (in this particular social circle?). Thus humans learned that both parties are ok with age difference.

It seems a bit gross, a 70yo with a 25yo girl. It happens less often now (a wild guess), so maybe social pressure helps a little bit.
But i believe that men still prefer fitness over education in women. Not 100% of the time, not in edge cases, but in general.
Even in the press, a guy is more often smart, funny, successful and a girl is beautiful, elegant, and so on. Not always, but more often than not.

I can echo what the others have already commented, which is that in the overwhelming majority of videos from channels that I have subscribed to, the annotations have been useful.

Getting rid of them entirely would get rid of an easy and much needed way for the uploader to add corrections and other additions after the fact.

I do see videos where the annotations are rather annoying, but I don't think it's so often that it has been a terrible problem overall, and I have a suspicion that on those videos the annotations have not been the only annoying aspect.

Edit: I just saw further down that annotations are actually deprecated, and now I really wonder how people can add corrections to videos? Does that mean I have to read the description of every video I watch?
I'm an entrepreneur and I'm strongly in favour of these policies for this exact reason. It often surprises people that there are entrepreneurs who're in favour or more, not less, social spending. But I think that in the long term, making to feasible for anybody, not just rich kids, to start companies is good for the economy.

I wish we (the Netherlands) had a system more similar to the Scandinavian countries. We have social security, but it has gaps and holes all over the place and once you get stuck in one of those gaps there's virtually no way out. Notably, having been an entrepreneur puts you in one of those gaps.

I'm a (sufficiently) rich kid though, so no biggie.
