I was put through the Huawei/Google ping pong. I don't know what the alternative is.

I bought a lot of Samsung notes, but they are outright negligent with monthly security updates. Samsung also famously introduced the Galaxy Note 2 a little over 8 months after I spent $900 on the Note 1 (which became a paperweight quickly due to faulty sim trays).

Almost all android manufacturers are negligent in creating good phones, and if they do, ruining them by not offering the required monthly updates that Google and Apple offer directly.

Android was a poor experience pre-gingerbread. Now, the changed UI's doesn't look much better than native android - product differentiation aside.

Google was onto something very good with LG and the Nexus 5 partnership. I'm encouraged to see LG building their phone again, and hope the HTC acquisition will improve the phone quality moving forward.

If google is serious, I hope they leave the XL with LG while they build the Pixel 3 with their new HTC subsidiary to get some experience under their belt before expanding.

I'm using an LG G6 for the past few months. The phone has been excellent. The phone updates are a few months behind and I'm reminded why I'll be probably heading back to a monthly security Android phone - at moment I believe it's the Pixels or a Blackberry.
This. To add more stuff you change the setting. (When changing from "original" to the "high" quality setting, they convert your stuff to the lower quality.)

He said "No citizen of the US needs to be protected".

US Citizens are allowed to hear opinions of others when engaging in political discussion. That's why it's called a discussion. If you "protect" them, because the opinion they are hearing might be from a boilerroom overseas or more likely, a DNC or RNC funded organization here in the US, you are almost certainly going to swing the pendulum too far and end up doing far more destruction to the democratic process than those you started off "protecting" us from.

Look at Facebook's use of snopes.com as their "fact checkers". We now know that snopes.com is extremely politically biased.

People who say they are protecting you from something are usually victimizing you instead. Please don't protect me.

Yep. Then again, this seems like a problem with a lot of tech companies and startups now. They seem to think every problem can be solved with technology alone, even when in a lot of cases social solutions may work better.
From my memory Reddit was mainly pro Bernie Sanders.

Trump essentially won because Democratic party pushed Hilary, this caused many people vote 3rd party and many actually voted Trump (I even remember someone saying that he was voting for Trump, because things need to get bad before they can get good).
Well. This is where we'll disagree then.

No entity has any right whatsoever to retain any data about me, for any purpose.

Your rights end where mine begin. My right to privacy trumps everyone else's profit motive.

Edit: Scratch that. Our disagreement is more fundamental. I believe humans have a fundamental right to privacy. You don't.
I think the inclusion of blockchain is misleading. I had to wrap my brains around the straw-man first to understand what the article is trying to show-case. It should simply say FaunaDB supports distributed transaction.

Separately, distributed transaction is not the primary motivation for using blockchain. For ledger/financial use cases its the verification and auditing confidence it provides.
A slightly goofy thing about the Google Store is you can't add the warranty after the initial warranty within the warranty period.

With Apple, it's no big deal to extend the warranty during the first year of the warranty.

They are. But when the alternative is surgery to enlarge your nasal passages (which, like any form of surgery, may or may not work), well, forcing oneself to get used to it is the lesser of two evils.
At many bay area startups I've worked for we would do whiteboarding sessions but I would stress that the candidate "treat me like google". I would actively encourage them to ask questions of the type they'd look up, to be comfortable being collaborative. This to me showed much more about a candidate's ability to work on a team, learn quickly, and apply what they've learned than any whiteboard session entirely from memory could prove. This becomes even more important the further out of school a candidate is; some of us took algorithm classes decades ago.
Well you need to subtract what is currently burned off in refineries in those calculations it is quite significant (roughly same amount of energy for refining oil and electric cars per mile driven but only 1/5 or so in electricity and rest in burning oil products).

Gasoline cars use lots of electricity...
It's too late for you, but I think that it's useful for other folks to see your example and realise why multiple repos are a bad idea.

In the general case, each organisation should have a single repo containing all of its code. There are times to violate this rule, but unless you're in extraordinary circumstances, more than a dozen repos in an organisation is an extremely bad mistake.
I switched to containers almost two weeks ago and they are great, the kind of thing that makes you think how did I browse without this before?

I've separate containers for: work, home, facebook, shopping. It's particularly useful for google accounts, as I have gmail for work, home, etc.

And the ergonomics - e.g. being able to sort tabs by container, or hide work tabs in the evening - is great.
I think AWS Polly (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/polly-text-to-speech-in-47-...) can do this. I'm not sure of the quality compared to Google's or Apple's TTS though.

So is "Containers" being removed from Firefox? Or it will only live in Nightly ever? So confusing.

edit: From some experimenting, it looks like "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" extension extends the "Container Tabs" feature in Firefox. (This is an assumption based on the fact that the Options/Preferences now tell me I can't disable "Container Tabs" since "Ff MA Containers" is using it.
I do disagree with this type of comment, but I'd like to note this was a very popular response to e.g. the TrueCrypt & VeraCrypt audits. Shouldn't a piece of software having been audited (or otherwise examined) and having problems fixed increase confidence not decrease it? At the same time, you can't necessarily argue that a piece of software is more secure due to having more security bugs found and fixed. I guess the only response you can have is something nebulous based on the number of eyes on a project, how many bugs are found, their severity, their complexity, and the maintainers' response.
Gambling games that require skill are in the objective minority (Blackjack, Poker, and sports betting); Roulette, Craps, War, Keno, Slots, Bingo, etc., are all purely luck-based.

NB: Even in skill-based games, the odds still always (and I mean always) favor the house. Taleb is right. If you play any game for an infinite amount of time at a casino, you will go bust.
> With that kind of thinking, why are you even posting here? Why do you allow yourself any leisure time when people in the world are starving?

Indeed. I tell people all the time that poor/starving people should stop having children so that poverty or having to starve "dies out". I post here so that this message gets a much larger audience.
I'm super excited to get a real linux phone. The Ubuntu phone is the only smart-phone I've had that I didn't hate. I really hope this takes off.
No, the attack doesn't require Intel to sign the attacker's code. It works by abusing SGX's tamper detection, which hangs the machine if a forbidden memory region has been written to. If you can trigger such forbidden writes repeatedly (which is what Rowhammer does), you can DDoS a cloud provider.

It's too secret to discuss in public but not secret enough to discuss "privately" with a complete stranger? It feels like either you've got your priorities wrong, or it's some kind of a scam, spam, or phishing attempt.

This looks fantastic. Love my Airpods, but the 'tap for Siri' feature so rarely works for me, let alone language translation. Language translation is clearly an area Google is really pioneering too.

Shame about the cable though. The one (surprising) benefit of no cable is that the cable doesn't tug on the earphones, making them less likely to come out.
Well, yeah, but without that google_translate part, they wouldn't get nowhere.

Bing Translate, even though it's been used by default on both Facebook and Twitter, will probably never give you good enough results to have a conversation with a stranger. Google Translate probably will.

I mean, if there's anyone that combine those couple of parts, it's Google and no one else.

> But does every networked device have ethernet these days? My laptop doesn't, nor does my phone.

Every stationary or semi-stationary networked device should probably have Ethernet. A desktop or laptop should; a phone shouldn't (because it's mobile). It'd be nice if IoT thermostats and the like were wired, but that would require homes to have Ethernet-over-power or Ethernet runs in the walls or something.

WiFi is inferior to Ethernet, except when mobility is necessary. So for mobile devices like phones, it's not needed. For tablets, probably not (but imagine if your charging cable could also carry fast, reliable networking to your tablet, so you could have a better experience while reading or watching TV, but still be able to get up & go).

Why the hell would you do that. That defeats the point of git.
The issue has nothing to do with bitrate. The first issue is that the signal cuts out randomly due to interference. The second is that you have to convert the signal to analog and DAC quality matters.

To increase battery life, you have to go with more simplistic conversion which reduces quality. To reduce the cost of 2 DACs (one per ear) you have to use worse hardware. The net result is that the onboard DAC is basically guaranteed to be better and the amount of interference over wired headphones will be minimal.
From the website:

Both sites use the same domain provider and the same SSL cert provider. I'd say with medium confidence they are probably 2 products of the same company.
That is absolutely brilliant. I hope the current fears over the demise of 'real journalism' are overblown, and that we never lose the news outlets who will back type of work no matter what it costs.

> How do we tell people to not believe upvotes?

We shouldn't. It's inherent in sites with votes/ratings that the system is designed to indicate a comment's worthiness in its context. Upvotes in /r/science generally indicate scientific accuracy, in /r/funny generally indicate good humor. The site is responsible for collecting them accurately and fairly.
Some nice improvements but could have really used a syntax for anonymous functions that makes.

Why did they choose this wierd

No, it's really a separate issue. It's possible to influence an election even without lying. It's just undemocratic and illegal for someone outside the country to try to persuade people in the country to vote a certain way.

Reddit was very pro-Bernie. A huge portion of it was legitimate support, but bots (both pro-Trump and pro-Clinton) pushed the Bernie-Bro narrative, harassing Clinton supporters with sexist comments.

Russia isn't good enough to convince anyone of something they don't believe. A billion "Mickey Mouse for US President!" messages won't get a cartoon character elected. But they can take things we already believe in, and increase or catalyze those beliefs. For example, a minor preference for Bernie could be fanned into a belief that "you should vote for Trump since politicians suck!". Or, even if nobody is convinced, seeing that rhetoric can get Clinton supporters to turn on Bernie supporters.

Walking distance being two miles in the last couple places I lived... Which is probably fine for high school in areas with decent weather, and somewhat rural.

OTOH though, we have elementary schools in urban/suburban areas where 1/2 of the population of the school falls within the 2 mile radius (great saves money on busing!). Combined with high speed traffic, questionable neighborhoods, bad weather, a tendency towards overprotective parenting, and most parents of early elementary school children are going to be driving them rather than letting them walk to school.

The crazy thing is that most elementary schools are going to be getting out at ~3PM, which is far to early for most parents to leave their jobs, which means they end up paying a few hundred dollars a month per child in after school fees. A real problem for people near the poverty line, so those are the 5 year olds you see walking home alone at 3PM...

Banning guns works really well in many countries.

If all guns are banned, even obtaining a gun illegally becomes much harder. So dumb criminals can't get guns. Smart criminals know that using a gun will make them the target of nationwide attention, so they stay away from guns. (Anybody who tries using a gun against another person are quickly listed among the nation's top wanted, and their criminal careers are usually cut short pretty quickly.)

As a bonus, police officers will never shoot you even if you're jogging at 2 am in a back alley holding a baseball bat, because what justification would they have? They thought you might shoot them? Yeah as if that kind thing happens here.

I cannot imagine that many who were in favor of Bernie would switch to Trump. The positions of the two were so far apart, that you'd have to not actually believe in any of Bernie's positions in order to vote for Trump.

Given what social media companies have done to their businesses, are you surprised? A larger and larger amount of the population gets their news from social networking sites rather than media organisations nowadays. Stuff like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are the biggest 'competitors' the likes of CNN have nowadays.
There's a lot of great advice here which can be broken down into two categories: specialist vs generalist. A really important thing to figure out is what kind of developer you are. Which sounds better:
a. Constantly being challenged to learn new things, a rapid paced environment where lots of change and challenge are introduced
b. Organized environment where work is split up by expertise, groups have a narrow focus where they become experts in their domain and iterate to perfection

Obviously you should have a nice balance of both, but I've found many company cultures to lean more one way or another, and the advice on this post seems to divide similarly. If you like option A I'd recommend getting a good overview of a variety of languages, data stores, and tools/frameworks so you can at least have an idea of which one you'd learn more of for a given problem. If you like option B I'd do a deep dive into algorithms and CS fundamentals with one language (C, Java, etc) and target companies that work with that language. They're also more likely to have a well defined intern/junior dev role than the fast paced shops, but a slower pace of learning/advancement.

What about regulating advertising more strictly? I.e., if you couldn't do cpm (cost per impression) ads, all that increased traffic and engagement doesn't matter anymore, or at least matters much less. Or, limiting advertising entirely in a political forum - that would also render all that additional traffic moot. As a result, these sites would have no incentive to hosting any political content. I know it's implausible but maybe that's a direction to look at? Instead of limiting the content (free speech issues,) limit the motivations for facilitating such discourse.

I think there was a research talking about the emotional value of instant messaging(close to zero emotional value), a phone call(some emotional value), and face to face conversation(full value).

as for video chat - they also diminish the emotional experience(trust), because of lack of eye-contact. but once you offer full eye contact and body language, for ex. via telepresence, this improves dramatically, probably very close to real-life conversation.

So how do we create such a system fit for consumers ? and since text, etc is more convinient and addictive, can we design something that consumers will love to use ?
