Perhaps there was something specific about that specific instance that made it fraud, but reselling a phone isn't fraud by default.

Not interested in needing to beg a horrible algorithm or become internet famous just to get ahold of a human that might turn my digital life back on.
Two points; there are a ton of really odd inconsistencies with this shooting and it's not necessarily wrong to consider all possibilities, especially in light of the fact that the government has proven itself to be untrustworthy. Second, I don't expect or desire Google to editorialize search results. For as many times as it would improve things, it would also cause lots of damaging knock-on effects.
I'm interested in using similar generative adversarial networks to reduce artifacting in video streams. For example, highly compressed streams tend to show blocking artifacts on dark scenes, gradients, and static that could be smoothed in the decoder.

I haven't actually done much about it yet, but I'm interested.

If you stick to that (misleading) definition, then even if the part about not broadcasting the stuff it captures is accurate, the phrase before the "so" does not imply the phrase that comes after, meaning the sentence still is not factual.

Bullshit article. Not a single example of supposed "fake news" that these guys were supposed to have used to influence the election.
Those don't sound very convincing. Firstly, any time these things get enough press to become well known cases, it's natural that the "appeal to PR" vector gets them sorted out.

Secondly, the per case details don't look good for Google - in the first case, buying and reselling phones for a profit sounds perfectly above the board. Even something a "don't be evil" company might do... In the third case, the statement reads exactly like legalese that would be grudgingly put out by someone who's had a tussle with lawyers.

I can't fathom why the place where the device was purchased would matter if it's a Google phone. Apple manages to support iPhones whether you purchase them from an Apple store or in a back alley for bitcoins.

certainly the relative paucity of some subject matter to train on is a factor.

The other factor is that complex use of natural languages depend on and require ambiguity and layered meaning and hosts of other factors that are really hard to handle.
I think this is more a problem of you not being the target audience.

I'd use it lots... and lots. I'm an immigrant, and though I do alright with the local language (Norwegian, and I'm a native English speaker), conversations are sometimes difficult. Neil Gaiman in Norwegian is a difficult read for me, but I*m past kids books. Some folks would talk to me more, since lots of people understand some english but aren't so comfortable speaking it. Google translate isn't perfect, but it continues to get better.

I actually dissected the authors example above - and they actually don't really help prove his/her point.

The first example - was basically fraud, that probably got picked up in hijacking/bot-net detection (based on public statements).

The second - I can't comment, as there are no public statements.

The third - the author made a public statement, and seems to harbour no ill-will to Google after it was explained to him what actually happened. I can't comment on that conversation, but I will say that in general, Google does a lot to protect its users from all kinds of security issues and attacks.
> You can develop open and secure X86 microarchitecture if you want.

Apparently there are patent landmines you have to traverse first.
If the legality is what concerns you, fair enough, though I do think you're overreacting without further evidence. People are perfectly capable of holding beliefs and hire and work with people who share others. However, that is not how you presented it or are discussing further.
I should have clarified more; you'd use this for switches where you need to always handle all cases.
Then if a you add a new value to the enum but forget to update the switch, you get a compile-time error instead of a buggy program.
A singularity originally referred to a single point where (the mathematical description of) a field has infinite strength.

That's not really true. The term singularity was almost certainly first used in mathematics. Most physicist don't believe that there are singularities in nature, it's just our incomplete or simplified physical theories that have them in their equations. And in mathematics there are quite a few kinds of singularities, of isolated points that have drastically different behavior than their neighborhood, and diverging to infinity is just one example.
Do you mean that people aren't concerned, or shouldn't be concerned?
Or maybe you just underestimate the demands of a terminal emulator? More specifically, the demands of many users of a terminal emulator. People want to try to see the matrix, they want 60fps scrolls full of arcane details too quick to actually be useful, but clear enough to kind of skim to give the impression that it may be useful.

VSCode isn't the first terminal emulator to use a videogame canvas renderer approach (by decades), and won't be the last. (Not just because the work was PRed to a shared library that other applications use too, but also because there will always be people trying to see the matrix in terminal emulators as long as there are terminals to emulate.)

Both your examples use very simple logic. The Apache Groovy codebase example is of some peripheral functionality, i.e. a builder. All the methods in your Grails codebase example are, at most, 1 line long. I can't be bothered re-investigating what proportion of the core Groovy codebase really uses static compilation -- it certainly wasn't much only 2 years ago. As for Grails, virtually no-one has upgraded from v.2 to Grails 3 since it was released 2.5 yrs ago, or started many new projects with it.

What's interesting to me about this marketing page is how little ChromeOS is mentioned. I'm probably reading too much into it, but could it mean the long-predicted pivot towards Android being the OS? Or is it an attempt to remove focus from the operating system (because it's the web, after all)?
Check out these terrible support periods: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en#pixel_...

An iPhone gets OS updates for years and years, Google's flagship Pixel phone has two years of updates. Never would I spend that money on a phone that has so terrible support.
And don't forget that Apple doesn't get a cent of any non-IAP monetization of the app of which advertising is primary.

Off topic here, but I find it interesting that Apple cracks down on various other workarounds like in app "tipping", but doesn't touch ads.

Would be interesting to see what the effective % apple tax is, if all ad revenue was factored in to the gross.

As an aside, even if I get good customer service, these days I'm frankly tired of not having physical stores. Being able to walk into an Apple Store is a really tempting offer, compared to shipping a phone for repair and communicating through emails.
To speak about that third case the very real concern I would have there is that it appears he got access to his account back by being able to attract enough attention from Google management, as he was well connected and had a relatively high profile twitter account (> 100k followers)

That kind of solution is unlikely to be of use to customers who don't have the ability to bypass the common process...
re: #1 I just tried it - they are giving you an encrypted git remote. So you create a new repo with them, then you can clone it somewhere (or add it as a remote) and push to it.
I'm in the same boat as you. You might Google for DEC2, and maybe there's even a test for it. I'm convinced I have it, and even did a 23andMe thinking they might test for it, but alas, they don't.

Despite knowing that I just don't need a lot in the way of sleep, it seems that every time I make that claim, it's met with incredulity, but having worked a job for 6 years in a different time zone, and with a loose schedule, whenever I just went to bed when I got tired, and woke up when I woke up, I found that the median sleep length was in the 5-5.5 hour range.

Um, you realise you uploaded a bunch of (presumedly) copyrighted material to a public video sharing site?

That would normally raise a bunch of red flags.

If you're stuck, there are dedicated support channels to actually talk to people - or feel free to reach out to me (my non-work email is in my profile.)
Same. 5 to 6 hours and I feel fine, unless I'm ill or already sleep deprived. I can function on 3-4 hours per night for extended periods of time before I start to notice serious deterioration in mental faculties. I believe it's genetic. Some studies have tentatively tied naturally short sleep cycles to a gene variant (http://www.sleepeducation.org/sleep-disorders-by-category/in...). Also, my father sleeps for about the same amount of time as well.

Yup. And the amount of work it takes to be competent in just one (such as AWS) will make it nearly impossible / not worth it for most people to run cross-cloud.
Has Apple sought a royalty on Android? My belief has been that Apple refused to license any of their patents. They've sued Samsung not to extract royalties, but to stop them infringing Apple's patents, full-stop.
A lot of people learn vi out of necessity. Eventually, they have to SSH into a server and have to make minor changes to files where it's quicker to do it right there rather than use FTP or VCS. If that's the case, all you really need to know are the basics that the OP mentioned. After that, it's up to the person's personality to decide if there is value in learning further and more complicated commands.
Yes it appears so

I played mostly through 1983 with Mario Bros.....then Nintendo came out and gave Mario Bros as good of a home experience, but without the arcade.

I think Mario Bros was the last of the arcade style games I was really into. Though I remember a skateboard game called 720 Air that was pretty good....oh, and pinball.
I agree, I love that they don't even mention what the GPU is, It is now assumed that you don't really ever need any dedicated graphics.

All this despite integrated graphics still sucking with all of its dedicated memory and such. Just look at a desktop GPU and then a processor and tell me you can cram all of that into one chip.

> I think omitting a case label for an enum value feels like a much lesser crime.

This is not about the coding police coming to get you but preventing you from shooting yourself into your feet when you extend the enumeration. Quite often you want to cover all cases and write code that signals an error if the default branch is called. CL even has a special version of the CASE macro (CL's "switch") called ECASE[1] with the only difference being that ECASE signals an error on unhandled cases.

Because it will cost you 10 million dollars+ to produce your first chip. Every chip after that costs you 7 cents.
AMD's new lineup makes some sense at least, but who knows, next year's laptops might be Powered by AMD® 5th Gen Processors.

I think the extremely vague branding must be at least partly from Intel's cues. Intel advertises their own NUCs in the same way, and perhaps wants customers to think in terms of generations and ignore the specs. After all, if consumers mistakenly assume a 7th gen i5 is a meaningful improvement over a 6th gen i5 and make a purchasing decision based on that, Intel aren't going to complain…
How is that definition misleading?

>the phrase before the "so" does not imply the phrase that comes after, meaning the sentence still is not factual.

This seems highly pedantic, unnecessarily so in fact. Sure if you take "so" to mean "implies" then your statement is reasonable, but "so" doesn't solely mean "implies".

The point seems to be that you're in control of the photos, and they aren't being sent off to a secret google dark site to mine for data about your toddler. Do you disagree with that, or just have further grammatical quibbles?
I came here precisely to see how this compares to git-remote-gcrypt (which I use to protect my password-safe filenames).

Anyone from keybase prepared to comment?
The article explicitly says Apple waited until they could get chips from another source, Intel. Their general counsel explicitly said they would have sued sooner, but were at Qualcomm's mercy and feared retaliation. Maybe that's revisionist history and seems unlikely to be so clearcut, but that's their story.
>for those of you who own a mobile device without a headphone jack, do you find it to be an encuberment?

Yes. Every single day. I bought an iPhone 7 when my 6 got stolen from me. Huge mistake. Have tried several bluetooth headsets, have never been satisfied with their quality (spotty connectivity just from ears to the pocket). I haven't tried the AirPods yet, but I'm not willing to drop $159 on yet another bluetooth product (and they look ridiculous).

The lightning dongle just introduces a new mechanical point of failure, and it's never there when you need it.

I won't be purchasing a product without a headphone jack again.
a google-fish
Yeah. I had similar issues with samsung and nexus devices.

Despite the removal of the headphone jack, I switched to an iPhone 7+. Had an issue with touch id, and they just replaced the entire screen for free while I hung out at the mall.

Between the privacy moves Apple has made, along with their awesome support, I can't see myself switching back.
Using a percentage to compare R&D budgets is incredibly stupid.

If I own a company with 100K revenue and spend 5K on R&D that doesn't make me more innovative, relevant or noteworthy than Apple.

It's all about the amount and quality of R&D that is important.
Keeping video machines running is child's play - it's just discrete electronics. The worst part is connectors and power supplies, what with the capacitors that dry out over 20 years.

It's keeping pinball machines running that is a true challenge. I only have five of my nine games playable right now, and two of those have small problems that don't effect game play but the games themselves aren't 100%. Something about a steel ball hurling around and coils firing seems to cause all kinds of breakage on 20-30 year old games only designed to last 5 years.
To be honest, it still obviously sounds machine generated. I guess it's a slight improvement, but the examples shown do not include any challenging words or phrases. We've been able to generate adequate sounding speech for simple phrases for quite some time. I bet this was really fun to work on however.
I installed Linux Mint Debian for my mother, works just as you described. Once in a while I login as root and run "apt-get update && apt dist-upgrade" on the machine. That's about it. Even when her laptop broke and she needed to switch to a backup machine, I just plugged out the hard drive and put it in the new laptop. After installing wifi drivers, linux continued to run. And I'm at peace since she doesn't know the root password or even what root means :).
I don’t doubt the camera is good.

The dual pixel thing sounds a little iffy to me in that I wonder if it can really duplicate the portrait mode of the iPhone.

DXO’s numbers mean as much as a five star system. They’re not quantitative but want to be treated like they are.
If you're a technologist looking for ways to save the world, enabling communication between people of different countries is about as important a task as you can find. The web was a good first step, but language is still a barrier. Being unable to communicate with someone dehumanizes them. Automatic translation isn't going to automatically bring about world peace (and it isn't going to automatically enable us to transcend cultural barriers), but it's an enormously important next step.

I criticize Google and Microsoft a lot, and I will continue to do so when necessary, but I applaud their efforts toward this goal, especially since there's so little financial incentive to do so. Even if this product is as limited in practice as I suspect, it's heartening to see such crucial technology mature.
I think the problem is where accounts control a large part of someone's digital life.

so for example here, it appears that someone breached Youtube ToS and lost their whole Google account.

Now imagine you've got all your e-mail/photos/contacts etc in that account and you've just permanently lost them due to that ToS breach.

Of course as technical people we can say "ahh you should have had off-cloud backups", but realistically most non-technical people won't do that and likely won't realise the consequences of their actions.
I really liked having a "vim mug" as cheat sheet. If you drink hot liquids at your desk you'll have a mug anyway. This way it doubles as a vim reference while you're learning and you're probably less likely to lose it.

It's, IME, very common for immigrants (especially those that immigrated in middle age) to be intelligible to native speakers when speaking the local language, but have more trouble understanding native speakers. So one-way translation may be useful.

(OTOH, it may also mess with code-switching.)
Does it matter? They pass through Google's servers; results of analyzing them are stored on Google's servers; the full audio is probably stored on the NSA's servers; if Google says they don't store the full text, does that meaningfully alter the level of privacy you can expect?
I'm not the parent poster, but I'd say it's the fact that it's so obviously designed for passive surveillance. Sure you can leave a camcorder or GoPro running, but this thing doesn't even have a screen. Not to mention it has "intelligence". Who knows when it's actually recording?
I've heard this story a number of times, but it doesn't match at all with my experience. Did she buy it from google?

I bought mine direct from google and the service was fantastic when I had an issue with my phone. I called them up, explained my problem, and 5 mins later they were sending me a replacement in the mail with a pre-stamped shipping package to send the old one back. I'm not sure what else I could ask for.
commute - work someplace closer. or get remote work.

chores - have less stuff to maintain.

eating - not sure what can be done here.

exercise - look into tabata or hiit. you can workout 2x20min a week.

you can also find way to be more efficient with your activities to cut off time on each one, even if you keep it.

sure none of these suggestions is without cost. but these suggestions can be enacted to the end goal of more time (for sleep or whatever)
>> If you were not to set an alarm clock, would you sleep past it? If the answer is yes, then there is clearly more sleep that is needed.

Totally wrong. I just finished 4 months of military training. Sleep deprivation was part of the training. We were constantly sleep deprived. It impacted our performance, that was the point. That said, I'm one of those people who always seems to get up 2 minutes before the alarm. Even in my sleep-deprived state, less than four hours a night for weeks, I still woke up before my alarm.

We built a consumer product like this back in 2013 - Autographer. The hard bits were i) battery life, ii) taking good pictures when moving, iii) having a socially acceptable & nicely designed product that points in the right direction, iv) connectivity, v) wide FOV camera module vi) How to subselect & create the best picture/video experiences (intelligence & creativity) vii) Who/when/what it was really for.

In 2017 v) is solved, i)/ii)/iv) are easier, google should be able to do vi) as well as anyone, let's see about vii). Anyway good luck to them and I'll be buying one.
