That's because you need to be specific with your language. Your original comment on here mentions how you thought full auto guns were banned, so I tried to clarify that.

When I first heard the shooting the first thought I had was which device did he use to fire so rapidly and what the repercussions might be. This type of thinking always happens because a hobby (or if you feel strongly, a right) you care about will instantly be attacked with false information. Gun enthusiasts try to pick it apart and come up with what it could have been, and the repercussions might be. There were plenty of people who thought he modified the guns to be full auto, I was one. Sliding stocks usually work like crap, and good luck practicing because most gun ranges ban them because you can't aim with them.

My point is just because people who enjoy guns dissect a tragedy to the 100th degree the second it happens, doesn't mean they don't care about anyone but themselves, they just know people who don't know the difference between an AR15 and an M4 or that suppressors are still loud enough to get hearing damage when used will attack your hobby.

When a plane goes down you want to know why and I'm sure pilots do the same exact thing. No you can cry apples and oranges, but before you do please try to put yourself into the mind of the "other" side.
My girlfriend had the exact same experience with her Nexus 5x.

Fwiw there's a small open-source patch for affected devices that disables big cores (disables dual core I think) and fixes the bootloop but cripples the phone's performance.

Now, it looks like those issues are caused by the Snapdragon 808/810. The Pixel 2 uses the 835. I don't think it's been around long enough to know of any long-term issues, but I'm hoping it sucks less.
Yeah, I definitely have "charging fatigue."

I have... I don't even know. 20? 50? devices that need to be charged on a regular basis. I really don't want to charge anything besides my phone and my laptop. I don't want the ritual of taking 2 or 5 or 10 different things out of my bag at the end of the day, plugging them in, and then unplugging them and rewrapping the cables and putting them back into my bag. That is not "convenience" in my book.

There's also a small level of cognitive overhead involved with remembering which devices were charged when. We're not talking rocket science here but most of us are IMHO already in a constant state of distraction thanks to information overload, and I don't want more variables to think about.
I use Facebook's translation of comments a fair bit and it enables me to usually get at least the gist of what's being said - and sometimes a clear view of it. If that level of accuracy could be applied to in-person audio it could be a lot more useful than not having it.
I've always wondered why companies don't just take all the close-captioned TV streams and use that as training data for their voice models. Seems like it would create a much more natural sounding voice model (at least as far as humans are accustomed to).
You're approaching productivity from the wrong angle. It's not about producing more, and especially not producing more while tired... it's about doing less unnecessary work. This requires thought, and is easier with a full night's sleep.

This is part of the problem; it should never take 2 or more hours to go anywhere in a place as small as Singapore.
EU wants to create Airbus for batteries
> she took it into an Apple store

What the parent is saying is that's precisely the difference. Your wife brought her phone to the manufacturer.

The Nexus phones were not manufactured by Google. If I don't buy it from the Google store, my buying didn't establish a commercial relationship with them. The Pixel phones, though, are manufactured by Google.

Disclaimer: Even though I'm a Google employee I have no idea how these things work. I'm just clarifying what the parent said, which sounds likely to me.
And to that sentiment, blockchains are neither new nor interesting. Most developers have been using them daily for close to 7-10 years.

It is unfortunate that this tech is so hyped.
That doesn't seem to fit with what OP wants, being able to deploy to Windows, macOS and Linux. According to Xamarin's website[1] Xamarin.Forms is:

"Xamarin.Forms is a cross-platform UI toolkit that allows developers to easily create native user interface layouts that can be shared across Android, iOS, and Windows Phone."

As someone interested in helping with disaster scenarios, the ability to handle rudimentary Spanish is quite interesting.
Sure. Translating written text and translating live conversations are two very different things though.
> Stories like this are the reason I will never switch from Apple products.

Strong words. If Apple's support started getting worse, you'd switch.

What you're saying is that you like to stick with a company that has so far had an outstanding support track record.

Which is pretty self-evident.
Google just dropped support for the Nexus 5X and 6P, for unknown reasons. I hate it. Now I have no options left. (I need a device that will get android developer previews)
that's not what https://www.inc.com/sonya-mann/salil-mehta-free-speech.html says about it.

"Mehta was lucky. The public outcry and press attention prompted Google to manually review his case."

"It could have turned out differently. Without his impressive credentials and far-reaching network, Mehta never would have found out why his Google account was shut down. He wouldn't have been able to access his correspondence or restore his blog, which he says has been read by the likes of Elon Musk and Warren Buffett."
Others have answered but interestingly, TDD was 'built-in' to the Pharo tutorial I did a while back.

Basically you write a test first, say it calls an undefined method `x.somemethod()`. You push a button to run the test, as soon as the method call fails, the environment shows you a popup which lets you define the method right then and there, while you have all the details of the suspended execution. You can write the method and the 'resume' the execution from where it excepted.
"I'm using fraud as an ordinary layman would use it"

Fair enough, my point was more that I was so surprised you were willing to stick your neck out by officially speaking for Google here, especially regarding legal matters.

No, I'm not a lawyer, but I do have nearly 20 years in law enforcement and LE-related work, enough to have a bit of an informed take on things like this.

I do feel that Google was wrong to permanently and irrevocably delete their entire Google account rather than simply banning their account from using Fi. It's Google's prerogative, but it told me everything I needed to know about them as a company. Suddenly I was acutely aware that if I were to violate, say, YouTube's TOS by uploading something that I thought was fair use when it wasn't, I could permanently lose my entire online life. That's quite simply unacceptable.

“Are You Not Entertained?”

You're off to Youtube to watch people being shot, why not take some time off to watch some interesting fiction along the way?

I like false flag stories, it's always interesting to see how they spin it this time.

It's clearly labeled False Flag and it has millions of views. They are giving people exactly what they want.
It was partially by design, and partially limitations of technology. It was not quite as bad as 50k though, the EPA estimated the EOL for a vehicle at 100k miles in the 1960s.

Option A:

1) Find a piece of land nobody wants or has claimed yet
2) Design a flag
3) Erect a flagpole

Option B:

1) Muster an army
2) Claim a piece of land
3) Defend it
My natural day lasts considerably more than 24 hours, but only when TV/video is active. Without them, I'm ready for bed by 10 PM. If I still had any working grey cells, I'd run some week-long A/B experiments to verify and assess the impact of each. But I don't think I could live with all that silence, so...

Who said anything about a "problem"? It's a fight between corporations, I don't see anything about this that is bad for society at large. Apple already turns a huge profit on each phone, it's not likely that they would pass on a potential saving to the consumer. And Qualcomm is hardly a patent troll, they use their licence fees to fund R&D. There are plenty of problems with our IP laws but is this really one of them?
They don’t have to be super expensive – even 160€ headphones from sennheiser are awesome, and you can get replacement parts and repairs for decades.
The EU needs to create an Airbus for semiconductors.
Wow, I hear a huge improvement in the Japanese model: the difference between a robot in person and a young woman on the phone.
>Farming work is (or used to be, before modern farming techniques) seasonal, and can be quite very light for the better part of the year. Professions like doctor, store owner, merchant etc didn't require anyone to sit 8+ hours straight in some cubicle. Shops (in 19th century Paris or Chicago or London etc) weren't optimized to serve tons of customers as fast as possible like a modern chain. Small towns and villages -- where most of the population (the rural) in any country lived before 19th century -- were far more leisurely too.

You can kind of see this transition happening if you visit currently-industrializing countries like India or China.

As much as I dislike Trump, that's not unique to his administration.
Well, given the question asked, we need to be clear that the legality of downloading copyrighted content varies by country. Also, the DMCA[0] has been around for 21 years, so it's not exactly a recent change. The last time the industry went after a torrenter, it was Hunger Games (2010), IIRC; I always attributed to the Streisand affect[1].

>But the developer mode notification on bootup kills the laptop :(

Yeah, you can turn this off via boot flags, and even replace the bitmaps for the warning so its a little less garish. Requires removing the write protect screw, though. See: https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript
The investigation is still ongoing. It is not clear what the motives were and who was responsible for the attack until the investigation is complete.

False flags have happened in the past and it would he premature to say we should censor/change reporting until a balance of facts are in.
It integrates into your phone's speaker. You don't hand anyone a hearing device.
Google Translate is a great product, but not monetizing it directly doesn't mean they do it out of the goodness of their heart. It is in their best interest to have access to as much information as possible no matter the language, and in that context a powerful translator is a priority, there is no way around it, and that is a massive financial incentive. That it also provides a great experience to keep its users loyal to their ecosystem is also a great financial incentive.
It runs on the phone afaik, while speech recognition on the other hand is supported by stuff Google runs in the cloud.

Edit: I might be wrong, at the end of a paragraph they say it runs on Google’s TPU cloud infrastructure, though it isn't clear to me whether they just use that for training.

Edit 2: I just tried it on my phone. At least stuff like asking it to "Turn on WiFi" works without an internet connection, and yields a TTS response.

Singapore is one of the few major populations on earth that is shielded from most natural disasters. It's also not near a fault line, so earthquakes, tropical storms, tsunamis are unlikely to affect it.

Major flooding can occur due to rains, however. The city has dealt with it in the past and seems to have that under control.

The other major disaster that hits Singapore frequently throughout every year is the "haze" crisis [0], which is actually man-made. It was particularly bad when I was there in 2013. But I mention this only as an aside since we're talking about natural disasters; it wouldn't affect the plans mentioned in this article.

I've been in the industry 20+ years and I still have no idea what a product manager actually does. As far as I can tell everyone completely ignores them. Maybe their job is just to be a warm body filling a chair in pointless meetings, so programmers can do real work? Seems perfect for an MBA when the weather's too bad to play golf.
The article says China was by far the biggest purchaser of new PV.

I've been trying to track the termina project (along with the KVM and vm_launcher bits). From what I can glean: termina is a minimal flavor chromeOS designed to be run with the vm_launcher that will support OCI based containers. I have no idea how the UI will look around it or be exposed. The virtio wayland stuff requires support from the guest VM and termina has it. Tatl and tael are just the x64 and arm flavors of termina.

So as a developer you could easily spin up your own VM (I guess without a GUI) to mess around with, but use a single instance of termina to launch a bunch of container based linux apps for yourself so you don't run out of ram launching tons of vms.

This is a bit of speculation on my part mostly from picking through docs and commits messages. I'm not sure how it will all come together. I'd be completely sold on a NVMe pixelbook once I see some announcements or commitment to something like this for developers.
I believe the issue here is "publicly" releasing the ads. FB just had a trending story yesterday about turning the ads over to investigators.

Bad title perhaps? Title from article: "Facebook refuses government request to publicly release Russia-linked election ads"
to me, the rising stock price is also difficult to fathom. I suppose it is easy to underestimate just how many legacy systems there are. 40 year old, nation-state scale projects that are used by bureaucrats and built by badly aligned contractors who get their specs/requirements from non-technical committees. Switching costs are prohibitive and the more complex is a system is, the more hours can be billed.

A friend of mine works in IT in one of the largest banks in the world and he half-jokingly says that they only have two requirements for buying software: 1. it must be expensive 2. it shouldn't really work

This looks great! I paid for Crypto Pro because it has an  Watch complication, couldn't tell from the site if CoinHub supports that.
I really like this! First time I've actually tried it out now that it's an extension. Seeing an issue with the always open in this container feature though - clicking on a YouTube link set to always open in a 'Personal' container, it's opening multiple new container tabs. At first it was just a duplication with new tabs, but now it seems to be opening three tabs.

Edit: Above is when opening from a default tab. Maybe this is expected, but the clicked links show as visited in the default tab even when they're opened in a container tab. Perhaps this is to be expected, but it seems like a type of information leakage across containers? Actually, seems like links clicked in the default container show as visited in other containers. Odd as well is that I'm not seeing the duplicate tab issue when clicking YT links from a non-default container.

Edit 2: Is there any way to opt-out of "always" opening a specific site in a given container? Say I configure youtube to always open in a personal container, but for some reason I now have to test something in a work container on youtube. Is that possible? Or do I need to go edit out the config and then replace it when I'm done?
I really wish Apple would focus more on getting Xcode up to par. It's in a truly horrid state, both performance and feature-wise. Developing an Objective-C app is worlds ahead of Swift right now.
I wonder if there will be references in the packaging to this. I mean, the original Chromecast referenced HG2G.

I hear you. The only Sega home console I dont own is the Genesis. I had an opportunity to own one with a box load of games for it and the Sega CD but I took it for granted that it would always be available. It was in a relatives basement.

It happens to me at least once a month. It's regular enough that you have to pay attention whenever you're crossing here, even if you have the right of way and you're in the middle of the road and there are bright flashing lights indicating your presence.

I think about 25% of drivers should have their licenses pulled, because it's my experience that they don't have the judgement to operate a motor vehicle safely.
I have a good number of bluetooth headphones so I never have to bother with wires if I don't want to, and yet I would still rather use wired headphones if I could.

I always tend to get weird Bluetooth problems. I'll turn on a pair of headphones and they will connect to both my laptop and my phone, with the signal from both being choppy. Or I'll turn on my headphones and connect them to my phone, but it will say something like "Connected (no sound)" and it won't play music through the headphones even though they're connected, until I either re-pair or keep pressing the button until it hopefully connects.

None of these are things I'd have to worry about with a headphone jack.
> If she works at 538 and knowing nothing else about here, I'd wager she is probably better at statistics than most academics, especially those in social sciences who are likely to study this problem.

I wouldn't assume that. It's clear that Nate Silver is excellent at what he does, but that doesn't mean everyobe who has ever been affiliated with 538 in any capacity is an expert at the use of statistics; the employment-based credentialing you propose is at least as invalid as the academic credentialism you criticize.

I did this for six months.

I live in NH, I got a well paying contract in MA, and they needed me to work 60 hrs/week to rescue a project.

The 60 hrs/week is key, because it made the ratio of billable hours to wasted hours plausible - 15 hours of commute to 40 of billable is terrible, but 15:60 made some sense.

Those six months (plus the side remote consulting gig I did on the weekend) almost killed me, but they also let me pay off about 1/3 of my mortgage in half a year.
I really wish Swift could find a way to be useful on platforms other than Apple. I'd be willing to commit more to it if I could write truly portable code in it. It's got a good start on Linux, but Windows and Android would be cool too. Though Kotlin won out over Swift for Android (very similar languages but I like Swift a bit better there).
The most I've run into route avoidance is with drivers who don't want to spend 2 hrs on a trip to the airport during rush hour.

Is the "bad neighborhood" problem a race problem, or a problem of not enough fares in that area (i.e. by taking a fare in, if the density is too low then you lose the time/cost of fares getting back out of that area...). and of course, if historically, if fewer fares go there, that problem is exacerbated.

I suppose one way to rebalance that issue without changing fares, is to preferentially schedule a driver for later fares until the earnings/trip/time etc are rebalanced. If Uber itself valued getting more uniform coverage, it seems like it could offer drivers to "undesirable" areas more, and shift some of the profits over from other areas into the low coverage areas too.

But all of this seems more complex and less transparent than increasing fares. The whole point of a market is to exchange information and come to some double ended voluntary deal that is good for both parties. If you fix bad neighborhoods by imposition onto drivers who don't know what they're getting into in terms of start/end points.

It's a hard set of tradeoffs.
If you're interested in helping with disaster scenarios in Spanish speaking countries, you would most likely be better served by a few months of duolingo (or other language learning course/app). It'd be cheaper, more useful for you in general (e.g. you would also be able to make sense of written text, which this product alone does not cover), and you wouldn't be reliant on a charged phone + charged earbuds + cellular connection, which might be a hard trio of requirements to fulfill in disaster scenarios.

(These considerations don't address the fact that there are most likely many other people who do speak Spanish and are willing to volunteer, and assistance organizations would probably prefer those to someone with Google's latest gadget)
Battery life is 3 hours, and this seems ridiculously low for something that's designed to be left running without supervision.
