I have been looking for a replacement for my iphone 6s for a while. I find LG V30 is appealing in terms of both aesthetic and specs.
How is it harmful or unlawful to sue someone for violation of a contract?

That’s why contract law exists.
> I think it's prudent to make it out business to get control over and fix things that are actively causing harm.

And I am confident I could do that more effectively as an ageless vampire overlord. The main weakness of a benevolent dictatorship has always been the succession.
>Where does the revenue come from again?

Ad revenue. Even if these companies don't collect money from the political astroturning, they receive increased traffic and engagement. Those are two of the biggest factors in online ad revenue.

>Anyway, I think a lot of people will be more influenced by a targeted video ad than a random post on reddit. But that's like, just my opinion.

I don't know. People have gotten pretty good at tuning out marketing when they know they are being marketed to. That is why word of mouth support can be so important. On social media it is getting very hard to identify marketing. I would bet seeing dozens of comments a day about how "Clinton is untrustworthy" would be more effective than hearing that same rhetoric in a video that starts with "I am Donald Trump and I approve this message."
Legal gun owners were unable to do anything against the Vegas gunman, legally held guns were useless in that situation. But I agree it is a cultural issue and guns are a tool. However I don't let my kids okay with the circular saw because they cannot get be trusted with it so same goes for guns. Take them all away and when you can show that you are mature enough to have one you can have them back. It won't be easy but it can be done, doesn't mean all guns disappear tomorrow but you can start by preventing new guns from entering the market and work from there.
Similar things are already happening in China, where malls and public transit stations are outfitted with cameras everywhere. Some cameras are even pointing at the escalators so its really hard to avoid being filmed. And in the background massive facial recognition engines run 24/7. With such power it's hard to imagine that it won't be abused.
Toronto's underground system is the largest one in the world. 1200 retail locations, 30km long, 4M sq feet of retail space. It's very nice, all marble or polished stone everywhere, brightly lit, good food courts. Many many food courts. Almost all of it privately maintained and owned by each of the 50+ connected downtown towers and buildings.

In the summer, no one goes above ground it's too hot and humid. In the Winter it's too cold. For a few glorious weeks in Spring and Fall however, all the downtown residents and office workers find it hospitable to occasionally pop outside of their towers to enjoy the outdoors.

Doesn't this assume maintaining existing usage patterns? There could be enough flexibility in workloads that with an economic incentive they will be run at peak production times with only the necessities being turned on at other times.
I'm with you, fellow small time home recording guy who needs to carry around adapters. My synth is 3.5mm out, my mixer is XLR / 1/4 inch Mono or Stereo, my piano puts out in mono or stereo 1/4, and on and on and on.

I still think that the hubris to say 'what's one more adaptor' is enormous.
I do have a head phone jack on everything (laptop, phone, desktop) - but I also have a SoundBlaster E3 usb soundcard/Bluetooth soundcard/mic:

https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-e3

Really happy with it. Never tried it with Apple hw, but guessing it would work. Great as a "wireless headphone enabler" while watching films late, at a screen a little further away than ~1m. Or even for gaming along with a wireless controller etc.

It's not the best day in the world (and Bluetooth doesn't have completely lossless audio in any profile afaik). But it's better than any portable equipment I'm aware of - including the early Sony mp3 players that were steel boxes/melee weapons with proper line out...

> Is all voice in a room with a person wearing Google Buds transmitted to the cloud??

No, of course not. Ignoring for a moment that Translate works perfectly fine offline already this would only ever be transmitting anything after you hit the button. It's not passively transmitting everything it hears to the cloud. Even if you ignore the privacy implications of that it'd drain the battery crazy fast.
Amazing that other first world countries can do this sort of thing without resorting to more killing and violence.
The textarea is to accept input, presumably. It's a trick often used in a normal browser HTML page, too. You get focus, keypresses, copy/paste, etc. via the native browser UI. It's a shame that HTML doesn't provide something similar, but as a hack it's not too bad.
VS Code doesn't seem to choke to moderately sized files. There is a large amount of non-Electron code used for its text editor.
Back in the day there was this thing called "don't believe everything you read on the internet".

I guess upvotes mess with that by implying the message is peer approved.

How do we tell people to not believe upvotes?
Just because they charge everyone the same thing doesn’t make it fair or reasonable.

What if they sold their chip for $10 and sold licenses to the necessary patents for $100/unit?

That’s not fair or reasonable. It’s one kind of situation FRAND was designed to prevent.
Any ideas when Assistant for iOS will released outside US?
LMAO!

That is called the First Amendment. The fact that others in the world discuss US politics is not a problem.

The deplorable state of US politics is the problem.

No citizen of the US needs to be protected.

We will find when politicians better represent Americans, not big money, no protection is needed.

Same goes for media. When do you see a solid discussion of net neutrality presented in the mainstream media, or an economic story told from the labor point of view? Two super easy examples.

People go seeking elsewhere, and with all of that comes these worries over people actually discussing policy!

Shocker. It's as if having a real conversation is a threat somehow.

Perhaps it is. Perhaps it should be.

It's primary purpose is largely DRM, but I'm guessing it has to store a large portion of boot information on the chip as to prevent a Mac drive from booting in a standard x86 tower.
I think that’s what he’s saying?
What studies? This is the internet, use that fancy hypertext.

I'm not very familiar with this particular area, but I do know from books like The Better Angles Of Our Nature (and criticisms thereof) that this is a contentious statement. There are many myths about ancient humans, some that overly indulge in 'savagery' and others that are too idyllic.

The evidence for either interpretation is fairly fraught and I'm deeply skeptical of any affirmative claims one way or another.
but u cudnt have got it from google store. if it runs into boot loop wat wud u do?
Ditto, but that one is terribly wrong.
I think what completes the puzzle is that the Pixel 2 phone omits a headphone jack. Without a headphone jack wireless earbuds are required. Normally wireless earbuds would be superfluous, so they're introduced with a use case that highlights their advantages.

That's to say, I don't believe the Pixel Buds are necessary at all for real time translation. But I think they're presented with the real time translation to give people some positive and cool imagery to associate with the earbuds. It's advertising as far as I can tell.
"this product" = earbuds

The translation overlay on camera feed feature of Google Translate is great, and it does not suffer from most of the problems I outlined in my original post. It is for a very different kind of use case though (it's more about solving the problem of "what does this menu/street sign say?", rather than trying to offer full conversation live translation)
When it comes to used SoC, booting GNU/Linux on it isn't really groundbreaking. I'm much more interested in i.mx6/i.mx8m's power consumption and heat generation. Those chips are often targeted for and used in automobile industry, with bulkier power supply and good cooling, so putting them in a phone might pose some big challenges.

Nevertheless, as a guy who used to be active part of Openmoko, OpenPhoenux and Neo900 communities, I wish them luck!
For excessive Code Helper CPU usage, you should be able to surface what the file/arguments were used to launch a Code Helper instance (how you do this depends on the OS). That will tell exactly which component is acting up, eg. TypeScript, search, terminal, extension, etc.
Suicide research suggests that ideation is very limited in duration. If a suicidal person can't kill themselves in the next ten minutes, the urge often passes.

Reducing the number of guns could have a significant impact on suicide rate by lowering the ability of people to end their lives within that brief window.
We did explore using standard protocols in order to support third party headsets. The most natural solution would be to listen for AT+BVRA (voice recognition command), which most headsets generate after some button is held down for a couple seconds. It didn't fit with our desired UX, though. We wanted a hold-while-talking UX, rather than hold for a couple seconds, wait for a beep, then release and start talking.

We thought about listening for AVRCP key events to detect when a certain button was pressed and released -- probably play/pause, which seems to be the most prominent button on most headsets. It would have been hacky, though, and we ran into several problems. For one thing, a lot of headsets power off if the play/pause button is held down for several seconds.

We also had concerns about audio quality with third party headsets, especially those which didn't support modern versions of SCO (which introduced new codecs with 16khz support and other improvements), or with poor antennas leading to high packet loss (SCO is a lossy protocol, so we still get some speech and attempt to translate it, but accuracy suffers). We were concerned that all accuracy problems would make Google Translate look bad, even if the headset was to blame.
I'm aware, if it lasted forever then I'd gladly pay an additional $1000+.

But as you also know, after 2020 then they'll still offer unlimited high-quality photo/video storage, and I think those who don't abuse the offering by storing RAW files and such won't mind the minor quality difference, and those who do will likely want to upgrade their phone.
What you said is music to my ears... I share concern. I love you guys and thank you for amazing work you did so far.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Which problem do you mean?

Both are relatively minor on a scale from "meh" to "OMG shut everything down!". Every major project has security bugs now and then.

There are many mail clients that will send passwords over non-TLS links (that was standard practice for decades...and you can still convince many mail clients to do it without much fanfare). This change prevents foot-shooting and that's good, but, the fact that they didn't prevent foot-shooting for a little while due to an oversight isn't some massive security failure.

The git-in-git issue is pretty subtle. I'm not surprised it slipped by unnoticed for a while.

Performing translation on the fly with technology is a HUGE win for humanity. I'm glad to see others besides Hear One taking this seriously for your average consumer.

It's unclear to me though; will these work with any phone?
Any reason why new tabs shouldn't create an entirely new, isolated container by default? And then allow the user to close tabs implicitly by performing a merge operation with some existing container (say, dragging with the mouse with a hotkey held down onto an existing tab group representing a single container)?

And alternatively, "merging" with the empty container, which would retroactively implement incognito mode on that tab, and incidentally coincides with the desktop metaphor for dragging things into the recycling bin... this metaphor can be extended by password protecting the recycling bin of "lost" incognito tabs.
If Joe Sixpack and Mohammed can communicate with each other they won't sit idly by while the fear-mongers use the other to justify terrorism/enforced liberty importation. At least in theory.
Really anything new and flashy that someone in power buys.

Boss: Hey dabockster, I just bought this flashy new drone from this vendor we never heard of before. I had my doubts but he gave me a bunch of light up fidget spinners for my kids. Can you hook this up to wifi?

Me: Sure thing.

Boss: Why is the internet down?

Me: Your drone wouldn't stop pinging out main DNS server.

Boss: But it's expensive and flashy and SPIN CITY!

Me: facepalm

Note that didn't actually happen. But it's an example.
Man, if they can make a straightforward phone with a reasonably sized screen for people with normal hands (like my beloved Motorola Atrix HD from 2012!), and do it with only upstream kernels and free drivers and infrastructure, I'm in.

I love the idea of running Arch Linux on my phone, it would vastly simplify the harsh divide between my workstation and my smartphone. There's also a distinct possibility of running OpenBSD on my phone in the future, which is where I'm increasingly going.

The thing could probably run Android applications anyway, if it really needs to. There are projects out there that let you do this on desktop Linux today.
The simple reality is that being in public, is public. I dont think you can put the genie back in the bottle at the point.
It's not related to crypto/tls or net/http. This has to do with sending mail via SMTP. It's totally worth fixing but probably had close to zero real world effect.

Go has an incredible security track record. Out of the box, net/http and crypto/TLS are safe to deploy in production. No reverse proxy shield required.
That depends largely on the size of the check attached.
The fact that it's hard to install a non-Google OS on it without having dev mode warn you on every boot.
(Incoming controversial anti-Vim comment. Down voting because you disagree is a poor show and a poor argument. Convince me otherwise with words, good sirs and madams.)

Vim, beyond the very basics for server side administrative tasks, isn't worth your time.

Vim isn't worth the investment in time for me, as an average programmer, and I doubt it's worth the time of most other (average) developers as well. It's a big investment in retraining muscle memory and rethinking about how your editor works for, frankly, little gain.

"It speeds you up" - no it doesn't. It gives you access to keyboard shortcuts for moving around your buffer that other editors give you. It has a cool way of looking at text and once understood, you can do cool shit. I never could find a need for any of that stuff, even after spending a week or so learning it and adjusting muscle memory. After moving to VSCode, I've never missed that stuff neither. That says a lot about my personal use case I'll admit, but my use case in very common as an everyday programmer.

Funny enough, most editors have plugins to enable Vim modes and keyboard weirdness anyway.

So I've tried moving to Vim from Sublime, and I'm thankful for the time I invested, but I quickly realised that Vim (and Sublime, actually) fall short compared to VSCode or a serious IDEs. And yes, I'm aware you can make Vim behave like an IDE - I did it. I get it. It's not worth the time.

With modern, graphical editors and IDEs like VSCode, Atom, Eclipse, the IntelliJ family like IDEs, and so on, you get up and running straight away. You can extend them very quickly using a built in plugin system - you don't even have to leave the software.

I use VSCode, and I've found that I haven't had to leave the editor or install anything outside of VSCode plugins to make it operate as a Java IDE, Go IDE (OK, I had to install Delve), or Python IDE. It has saved me a lot of time tinkering and allowed me to just get going. It even PROMPTED me when I opened a Python, Go, or JavaScript file for the first and offered to install plugins for making the file easier to work with... YES PLEASE! And yes I know Vim can do these things (using external, third party plugins.) I did it. I get it. It's not worth the time.

I'm also aware that Vim uses kilobytes, perhaps megabytes, of RAM to operate and VSCode uses hundreds. And that's a problem how? I have 16GB of RAM on a system running a single VM for Docker and a browser. I'm the first person you'll find who will complain about how bloated and heavy applications are in this day and age, believing that us programmers are getting lazy due to an ever increase in resources, but a few hundred MBs of RAM for massive time savings and a great UI is worth it.

It's simply not worth the time invested. The basics allow you to do quick server side stuff and you'll be thankful for the knowledge, but beyond that use something designed for the job, even if it does eat RAM for breakfast.
> and while you'd think you could speed this up by making it open a new tab in your current window and and return control the parent process when you close that tab ("code -r -w", I believe), that's not possible.

Exactly this is actually coming in v1.17.
Xcode 9 has been a lot less stable for me compared to previous versions. It will lock-up multiple times per day during simple text editing tasks, with SourceKitService going bananas until I force quit it.
I've heard it elsewhere in books. Forgetting where exactly.
>You can safely calculate, from your sample, that about 1% of the gamblers will go bust. And if you keep playing and playing, you will be expected have about the same ratio, 1% of gamblers over that time window.

This whole argument is based on the false assumption that all gamblers have the same chance of winning and losing. In reality (and depending on the game), skill results in a massive disparity in outcome among gamblers. This is similarly true for the author's stock market analogy. As the weaker players are flushed out, you should expect the rate of "bust outs" to slow.
"We aren’t in your country yet"
Oh well then.
It's not about accuracy. It's about whose interests are being served. At least if the R/D's lie to you it's still some kind of American.
Yeah, I love the direction LG has taken here. Rather than removing the port, they have added a higher quality DAC to make the inbuilt 3.5mm port even better!

So, I use it all the 3.5mm jack even more now. Is the idea behind an adaptor so that the user can use an even higher quality DAC?

This is especially true for warnings about && and || precedence. When you use those two operators in one expression without parentheses, IIRC both gcc and clang complain, but I once wanted to compile some software that thought it was a good idea to -Werror all the code and don't use parens around &&. Fun times fixing all the zillion makefiles that mentioned Werror. (Yay autoconf?)
If you're looking for the best quality, aren't you better off using a USB DAC than using even the wired headphone jack with the phone's DAC that was chosen more for its size and power usage than quality?
That's my beef with the feature. Since the earbuds already require a phone with Assistant, why wouldn't I use the conversation mode in the Translate app instead, which is superior in every way?
Yes, but that is for dictionary only. If you need more processing power, for example for the image recognition, you need the cloud.

At least last time i tried, from greece to english.
You can understand it, but it's usually not a good translation.

If you need real translations done and use a translation company there is usually a way to provide context to their human translators.

I watched the earbud demo though, it seems very impressive.

A tiny, passive camera where the indicator faces upwards (not facing where the camera is pointed at) with the ability to record 3hrs seems like it would be used as a spy camera. At least with GoPro the camera has a display that tells you it's running.
That depends on how you define "Blockchain".

My definition of "blockchain" is a distributed ledger in a entirely trustless p2p network. To which PoW is the most widely deployed mechanism in use to secure against the double spend problem. Pow being a mechanism that remains un-superseded inspite of significant efforts to do so. All this making PoW hardly orthogonal.

Of course this definition of a "blockchain" can be loosened. One of two tweaks and suddenly we need to label prosaic everyday items such as a git repos as "blockchains".

At which point it becomes difficult to even have conversation about "blockchains" since our industry has yet to bring to bear a sufficient amount of focus to even define the term with any sort of useful precision.
If you look at the actual semantics of classes and objects in C++ and Java, they're arguably closer to Simula than they are to Smalltalk. In C++, this is even more evident by the fact that even some of the syntax is reused, such as "virtual" (although in Simula it originally meant what we today call "abstract").

The difference between the two is that Smalltalk methods semantics are message passing. In Simula, method calls are just that, function calls generalized to have a receiver. And Java follows that pattern.

If Java was a direct descendant of Smalltalk, it would look a lot different. For one thing, it would have a lot less syntax baked into the language, and a lot more closures, from the get go.
