You'll have to take that up with the media. I can only go by what they were calling it and what we called it during the fun phase of learning why it broke, who was involved, and how far over budget it just might go.

If you make the phone without the built-in elbow pads, then both the people who prefer it to be thin and attractive and the people who prefer it to be enormous and grippy and bouncy can both be satisfied. Moreover, the latter group can choose from dozens of colors and styles.

There exist phones with fat rubberized shells. They sell terribly and have mostly been driven out of the market.
double foo;
compute(foo);

That's not even a crash, just silent garbage.

I don't know how you expect to do better with an uninitialised variable (except ints that default to 0).

foo dereferences to an int, but what could you hope to happen if you never gave it some memory to point to?
I think -- but am not certain, not being the GP -- that's their point: they don't see it happening, but think that a reasonable person would expect it.
Tbh, while this article talks about design, it is really just about color.

Making keys green instead of black don't change the way they operate.

There are some practical reasons for using certain colors, red grabs attention, orange is highly visible, white reflects light and black absorbs and radiates it. However most of it is just a matter of style.
Why would noscript block a gif...? I'm going to have to take a closer look at how this website places the gifs there.

This is because people need variety in fashion items, you can have non-mainstream clothing but still dress normally on other days, tech hardware meanwhile is bought because of functionality first, so (most)people don't have multiple smartphones to match different occasions and settings.

Software, OTOH, is also very conservative, this is because familiar design patterns ease users' learning curves(and conversion optimization in the case of commercial websites). However, there are some movements about creating non-mainstream websites such http://brutalistwebsites.com/ which I find interesting.
This is ascribing to Trump a level of subtlety and diplomatic intelligence that has not been in evidence in any way to date. In order to believe he is capable of 4D chess, we have to first believe he can play 2D chess.

Controlling the Chrome T-Rex Game with Your Eyes
Are you implying that massive industrial interests DON'T have the capability to buy special political influence?
I’m not sure what your point is. If you want to attach an external keypad to your phone, those certainly exist. A touchscreen is a trade-off between shitty button feel vs. profoundly expanded UI flexibility, making it a much more general purpose input device. Touchscreens are not built into phones because they are cheaper than buttons.

If you want a phone that does nothing but make phone calls using numerical codes, nice physical buttons are surely better. If you want a “phone” that does 1000 other things, the physical buttons are untenable.

I think desktop computers should come with much better physical keyboards (ideally properly hand-shaped instead of stupid rectangular slabs) with nice buttons and many analog inputs (trackballs, sliders, jog wheels, ...), but for a pocket device forget it.

TBH, on Twitter (like on Facebook) you ultimately see posts from people you choose to follow. If you follow idiots, don't be surprised to see idiotic things. If you follow hateful people, don't be surprised to see hateful things.
The reason they're a third apart is because middle C goes on an imaginary line half way between the other two.

The grand staff is really a single giant clef with the middle line missed out for clarity, and some extra space added around it to allow for leger lines.

Your system would need extra legers above/below the clefs, so it wouldn't be an obvious improvement.

Coloured note heads are better at conveying pitch than note shapes - which are already used in percussion notation. But coloured note heads cost a lot more to print, and scores are expensive enough as it is.

Having notation that is consistent across all instruments, not just piano, is a good thing.

I doubt anyone would duplicate current notation if it was designed from scratch today. But like a lot of things - including CSS and HTML - it's a mass of accreted compromises with a massive existing user base.

No one is going to re-notate centuries of music with a new system, no matter how much more logical it is. It's not going to happen for the purely practical reason that most music will still be in the old system, and musicians would still have to learn that system to play it.

1) US government should cancel all contracts with Equifax,

2) US government should demand a list of all effected SSNs

3) US government should use pre-breach tax data to issue replacement SSNs to all affected and send Equifax the bill for doing this.

3) US governments should ask the courts to consider any use of a breached SSN on any credit issued after breach date to not be enough evidence alone for any credit recovery processing (basically nullifing any credit after the breach for an affected SSN without the Banks being more careful with regards to identity checks).

Apple has started moving slightly in this direction, by creating a plastic cushion layer around the edges of the screen. It probably doesn't help a whole lot, but probably still better than nothing. On the other hand, they decided to make the back out of glass again, so I guess that cancels out that plastic cushion feature.

I said from, not by. UE is just one example.
"Mass freight is just so cheap that location doesn't matter."

It's not so much the cost, but the time. Distance from your suppliers and customers can matter a great deal.

If you have to keep higher inventory because of longer lead times, or have to suspend the line (or store unfinished cars) while you wait for a part revision from a supplier, it puts you at a big disadvantage when you're waiting weeks for shipping rather than days.

Economies of scale is also an issue. In the absence of significant tariffs, it's hard to sustain an automotive industry that's only supplying a domestic market of ~24 million people. Countries like Canada and Sweden do sustain significant domestic automotive manufacturing, but they export a large portion of the cars to bigger markets.

But you're correct, of course, about the exchange rate being the primary cause. The resources boom drove the AUD higher, and also increased the cost of labour.
Nefertiti is as beautiful today as she was 3300 years ago. It's not possible to say the same about a tech design?

I'm sure the Cray-1 will be as iconic and beautiful 1000 years from now as it was when it was introduced.

Also, since we're nitpicking, I don't see the word 'objective' anywhere in TFA.
It seems common for soldiers to have such extreme deferrence to rank that they can proudly do things that they otherwise belive are wrong just because their boss told them to. I used to work with an Afganistan veteran and he was the same - fighting was somehow good but the politicians making the decisions were making wrong decisions. Why not quit if you're part of something you think is wrong?
I really like this service; if CO2 emissions can actually be reduced simply by paying this extra amount, it is fantastic.

But is it really this simple? I arrived at ~120€ per year to offset all my CO2 emissions. (I live in a small apartment, don't use a car but fly quite a lot). If this extra cost is all it takes, we should increase taxes accordingly, at once. I would think that the price of producing all my goods and services with only sustainable energy (all the way to the raw materials of the plane I fly) is a significant multiple of this number. Has anyone done the calculation to arrive at a more specific number?

> Far too many emission certificates have been given out for free to industries.

My understanding was that that was only in the beginning, when the system was introduced. Businesses that previously polluted for free could continue to pollute for free for a transitional period. I may be wrong.

I think something is wrong with the code if null pointers are a big problem in a Java code base.

The example in the article shows a class with an exposed nullable member, and a function outside of the class referencing the possibly null member. I know it's an example but it's a bad practice to expose class variables like that. The only code that should have to check for a null member should be in the class, not scattered all over the code base. The example in the article shows a function referencing a member of a member (x.f). This just looks like very bad OO design and implementation to me.

Another approach is to never have null members. Use placeholder objects that have the expected interface but do something reasonable, like logging or reporting the error when referenced. That's better than crashing.

As an Uber user and programmer I'm wondering how the Uber mobile client is so complex that the code has so many problems like this that you need to write special tools just to detect them.

Nope, Olivetti was not related to Memphis. Also, Memphis was later. In the 80s.

Ha. Well, it's more that there are things I can justify charging for and things I cannot. Standing up a sub par solution for a larger investment of time doesn't make a ton of fiscal sense to myself or my clients.

I know this won't be a popular comment but it never surprises me that this attitude that police should be guilty until proven innocent arrises. It seems to be the default setting. Just like the way everyone hates the police until they need them.

Everything is at some point the fault of the police. It seems like everyone wants the police to do only what they want them to and to be punished if the police do something different.

Now I don't come from the US so can't comment on the problems with the police there and I don't know how the police there are funded but I know from my country that some of the "solutions" stated to hold the police to account would bankrupt the police here, but then I suppose that's the fault of the police as well.

I'm all for bodycams though because at the end of the day when a fabricated complaint comes in (my experience is most of them are) then these can be easily dismissed and hopefully those people actually held to account.
If you're trying to change officer behavior I suggest you start with training manuals and procedures. Then move on to actually train officers for a few years before putting them on the street.

But yeah, it's expensive, so it's more convenient for Americans to be tough on crime.

The fix here is likely political... body cams are a desperate attempt to make things a tiny bit better...

Primary takeaways:

1. Price is volatile, depending on weather and season

2. For 2°C goal, the price per metric ton should be $50 but it's only €5.5

3. Politics - elections, growth, and other factors play a significant role in setting cap and price.
It is beyond my comprehension how the New York Times could cite a study on this without mentioning the blatant abuse of body cameras, of which anecdotal evidence like yours shows up _all the time_.

Not really, there isn't a presumption of guilt because first you must establish spoliation. Once it has been established that the video record is incomplete, it must be the duty of the police to provide evidence of the technical failing that allowed it to happen to clear them of wrongdoing. After all, the evidence was in their care. Even if it was simply negligence and not malice.
It makes sense. Some comedian used to joke about the best land being taken up by golf courses and cemeteries. So, that has always stuck with me and I've long since planned on getting cremated.

"Voices hearer" here. I've been mostly off antipsychotics for 7 years now (over 30 yo). If antipsychotics did just cut "voices" down I would be happy to take them, but unfortunately most of them have sedation and motivational side effects that are harder to bear than the "voices" themselves, which also I don't like.
However, it comes handy to have them at hand during those occasional periods of insomnia, since my health priority is keeping a solid routine in study, sports and sleep pattern.

Well personally, I'd like to incentivize those who put work and value into the system over those whose individual contribution is negligible.

As well the marginal utility of another dollar to someone who is already wealthy is low and they are less likely to use that money, whereas someone who is poor or middle class not only benefits more from another dollar, but is much more likely to spend that money in a way that stimulates the economy.

In the absence of significant tariffs

Tariffs aren't the only form of government support, and are far from the best.

In Australia we had significant tariffs on cars until the Button plan reduced them over a long period of time. It lead to low quality cars being produced in Australia, which were uncompetitive internationally and couldn't be exported.

There are other forms of government support which are more effective, and could have been used in this case to keep the car industry going. Notably the car companies didn't ask for tariffs when campaigning for support.
