I don't know why. Lack of space on some phones maybe, or they could be configured to autoupdate via wifi only but never see wifi. Whatever the reason, if you use google play services, you'll see a few devices with old versions that don't update even though there is a newer version for that OS version.
Doesn't your body produce even less if you supplement, leading to problems if you quit?
+1 for not needing Play Services. I've been running a free Android, and so far every app installed has worked fine, except push notifications, but I see that as a feature—less interruptions.

Can you recommend a good free gmail client? The default email app doesn't work well with gmail -- double sends every time.
Your wish has been granted. In in the interest of headlines-must-be-boring, HN has also removed most information. The original headline, for example, instantly tells me that the EFF was involved, and which side ultimately prevailed in this case.

At any point number of bitcoins can change.. It might be another fork, but that number is not set in stone afik
Your comment about the petulant FAQ item was on point: it's possible to develop an alternative fork without taking such a childish attitude toward discourse with the original project.

On the other hand, I think your implicit trust in internal Play Services policies may be a little over-egged. Google definitely has some great security teams (Chrome/Chromium's security team have made some good contribs to the web, Project Zero is also cool, if a little externally-focused) but this is by no means universal. Android's been a bit of a sore spot in this regard generally (particularly in comparison to Apple).
It is sometimes tough to work for startups even if you are getting paid. A large part of freelance work with startups is determining scope, because they won't do that for you!

(no one will do it for you, but startups tend to be much less "understanding" ... which is understanding I suppose)
You are misunderstanding the term scarcity in the economic sense. The ability to acquire some limited quantity of the thing isn't sufficient. If you cannot easily acquire an arbitrary quantity that you desire than a good has some element of scarcity.
Yes. UAC was not really designed as a security boundary in the first place.

Multiple crewman have died from multiple preventable errors in multiple incidents. I haven't heard about any firing squads for COs? Normally we Americans are so enthusiastic about severe penalties?

Every software engineer I’ve worked with has had a strong sense of personal values and ethics, but the organizations we work for can take actions that are at odds with these.

Do they though? I've noticed a trend where the strength of some developers' beliefs are proportional to how unethical the products they're paid to build are.

This makes me suspect that for many people, the ethical stance they take is a coping mechanism for excusing their own actions with the Yuppie Nuremberg Defense.
I'm a developer at https://docraptor.com. We're an official Prince partner with a SaaS pricing model, but we've got a separate JavaScript engine for that very reason.
My point regarding the Business Insider article is that lots of pilots and other 'experts' were willing to give quotes to journalists back then, even though they knew nothing really about what had happened. Captain Sullenberger was hired by CBS as an aviation safety expert in 2011. He's expressing an opinion about the sidesticks that many other professional pilots disagree with (see e.g. the endless forum discussions on pprune). You can find pilots who support all kinds of wacky theories of various accidents. Sullenberger has a high profile (deservedly), and can get on TV.

The fundamental issues with Sullenberger's claim that the accident would be much less likely in an aircraft with conventional controls are (i) that there have been multiple crashes in such aircraft caused by unrecovered recoverable stalls (e.g. Colgan 3407, Turkish 1951) and (ii) that there is pretty good evidence from the transcript that the PNF was aware of the PFs inputs in any case. This forum post has a good summary:

Interesting choice for author of choice. I used to enjoy reading Tim Ferris' blog, read the four hour work week when it first came out, but over time I couldn't help feeling like he just wants to sell me something and it's given me a bitter outlook towards him. Granted he produces a lot of content at no cost, but his marketing tactics are very in your face.
I did notice that in DDG, "!finance TICKER" now goes to other sites, where recently it used to go to yahoo finance. I wonder if the change was due to this, and if DDG had any warning?

I'd wonder how much of that is new money poured into the ICOs. Selling something in the crypto-world usually means trading it for BTC. So I'd imagine all crypto money finds it's way into bitcoin eventually.

No doubt you'll find lots of attempts on github, but no business will touch it unless it's an offical compiler with Microsoft's backing, who continue to release updates and provide support for it.
Any asset that goes up 500% in a year gets a lot of press as people fear "missing out" on a "sure thing". It's a positive feedback loop.

I don't see the intrinsic value of BTC although I think Blockchain is a great invention.
You should look at it in a logarithmic scale (like all things that has been growing exponentially):

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-price.html#log

Here you can see how long it takes to double or get 10x bigger. And you see that at times bitcoin did grew faster (the curve was steeper at some moments). You also see that the corrections were bigger... so volatility does seem to decrease (until now).

So it is not new that is grows fast. Why it does grow fast? I prefer to let this question open. There are many different possible answers. Maybe the actual system has no solid fundamentals? (if every runs to the bank, the is not enough there for everybody o_o). Or the younger libertarian generation prefer it to gold? Or it could bank the unbanked of this world (once lightning implementations in bitcoin and other improvements are past alpha/beta stadium)? Or because venezuela might not be the last state with hyperinflation and cryptocurrencies might be the alternative (once scaling through lightning/... is improved)? Or a new way for machines to exchange with each other?

Obviously speculation on some of these (and other) reasons is still dominating... but it may mean that people seem to belive these secenarios might happen
Water isn't bitcoin though.. you can meaningfully divide a bitcoin down to .0001 and give it to someone. You can't really trade drops of water.
The success of bitcoin (amongst other cryptocurrencies) has led to great investor interest in blockchain techologies. Investments in these technologies are generally made by way of an ICO, usually denominated in bitcoin and/or ether. This increases demand for bitcoin & ether which raises the price and generates even more investor interest in blockchains/cryptocurrencies, leading to further ICO's and so on.

There are of course speculators, and an increase in the number of businesses accepting bitcoin for regular transactions, but I suspect the ICO boom is likely the driver behind the recent spike.

It's as though people don't see the common pattern with alcohol prohibition. The thing about opioids is that they can become a lot more potent than ethanol, just look at carfentanil and know that it's probably possible to make something even more potent. I would much rather everyone have access to heroin, than have everyone encouraged to produce smuggle ever more miniaturized and potent drugs, through ever more corrupting and sadistic criminal enterprises.

We foresee a quantified future where every individual has a clear understanding of their strengths and passions, and can instantly match them with opportunities needed in the marketplace.
That sounds like a good situation (and apparently your weather is tolerable). Unfortunately, this just wouldn't work in Texas, for example, because even 10 minutes of walking when it's 100+ leaves you very uncomfortable and not very presentable when you arrive in the office.

Who chooses to use Azure? Mostly MS shops. I see no compelling features for a FOSS shop.
In an earlier reply you wrote "Neither of the pilots in the cockpit ever figured it out" where "it" appears to be that they were fighting over control of the airplane.

I realize that this is somewhat unfair, in that your earlier statements are not part of the official report, but what indication would you expect to see that they were fighting unknowingly? There will not necessarily be evidence for it on the voice recorder, and especially in the "unknowingly" phase. The evidence would be in the pilots simultaneously making conflicting control inputs while the airplane was in the dual-control state, and IIRC, the data recorder did show that. Also, according to Langewiesche [1], 'Bonin, using his own priority button, and without saying a word, took control back. This left Robert with a sense that his side-stick had failed. He said, “Fuck, what’s going on?"' - i.e. the nature of the controls introduced additional doubt over what was happening, rather than that it was all a consequence of Bonin's actions (OK, so maybe there is evidence on the CVR.)

A similar situation (sustained, pilot-commanded stall) occurred in the AirAsia flight 8501 crash into the Java Sea.

While I agree that the nature of the side-stick control was far from being the primary cause of either accident, I am not convinced that it has been ruled out as something of a contributory factor.

There is also an entirely different user interface issue here: the stall warnings stopped when Bonin raised the angle of attack beyond a certain point (as the system no longer treated the data as 'plausible') and resumed when he lowered it.

Critique of continuity and "canon" aside, I'm curious about how this show can be seen as a "sjw-ish circle jerk" compared to the progressive, post-scarcity utopia of TNG.

Assuming that epithet refers to something obnoxiously progressive and preachy, I've not seen anything that so bluntly states its values the way TOS or TNG often had such obvious "morals of the story" about racism or intolerance.

This show has struck me as a lot more action and plot focused. I see how that is quite different from some of the older iterations and might annoy fans of the classic style with its focus on more flashy, modern, and explosion-filled TV action. But preachy campfire sing-along it ain't.
I should also mention that we've been working on supporting a BFT option. It should be out in the next release or two.

That's fine, I'm not talking about the price. I just mean its not really scarce when you can divide it up so much and trade it. The scarcity is fake. It's like saying there is only 10 trillion dollars in a bank so the trillions are scarce if I'm only going to trade 1 trillion at a time.
Of course I’m not promoting orthodox Marxism here, but it was generally his view that capitalism’s purpose was to catalyze the development of the means of production in preparation for socialism. If that’s the case, we can argue about when they are sufficiently developed to warrant a socialist revolution, but I could argue that conditions are not yet right for it and we first have to reach the point where resources are much more available than they are today. At some point in the future, when we have a healthy asteroid mining industry, fully automated industry, and human genetic engineering, social classes and traditional families will likely no longer be as relevant, so let’s try to reach for that before we implement full communism.
I'd be more concerned about buying "soft story" (what non-civil engineers call "top heavy") real estate. But modern high density housing is engineered to withstand earthquakes. For example one of the tallest residential buildings in SF, 1 Rincon Hill, was engineered either all kinds of weight balancing measures and reinforcements. So long story short, I'd never buy "soft story" real estate, but the newer or retrofitted stuff should be fine.
Does this electricity charge a battery pack, which then is used to drive the electric motors which turn the screws? This would imply that the heat generation and turbine spin-up time merely need to respond before the batteries are discharged, potentially allowing response times of minutes or hours. It would give Tesla-like instant throttle response, where the operator would move the lever and the sub would jump forward.

Or does it directly power the engines? This would mean that your entire control loop would include the latency of the steam generation process. Move the lever, wait for the water to get hot, wait for the turbines to spin up, and then the screws would start to turn faster. Like the throttle response in an ancient diesel truck.

Given that the original diesel submarines used giant battery arrays to power the electric motors while the engines were off, and that the former gives much better control response, I'd assume that there are still large batteries in the loop. This paper [2] supports that assertion:

> The nominal cell voltage is 2.0 V. [1] The PDX-57 cell designed for Ohio-class submarines weights 2,100 pounds with a capacity of more than 10,000 Amp-hours and stored energy of 2.6 MWh. [1] The ASB-49 cell designed for the Los Angeles-class submarine weights 1,300 pounds with a capacity of 7,200 Amp-hours and stored energy of 1.8 MWh. [1] The LLL-69 type cell weights 1,500 pounds with a capacity of 8,100 Amp- hours and stored energy of 2.0 MHh. [1]

A couple megawatthours is plenty to run the screws while the steam loop and nuclear reactor respond.

Therefore, toomanybeersies comment:

> On a nuclear powered ship, yes, since you still essentially have a steam engine, the engine telegraph (throttle) isn't actually linked directly to the engine.

is technically correct but actually irrelevant. The nuclear reactor telegraph does control the steam turbine and eventually the battery charge, rather than the engine. But somewhere there's an electric motor controller which responds instantly.

> Studies have shown that teams who work together face-to-face, as opposed to via email, are more productive when doing complex tasks. Being physically close helps us bond, show emotions, problem solve, and spontaneously come up with ideas.

I tend to work two days a week from home and commute a bit under two hours one way the other days. I agree with the above quote from the article. Usually, the complexity of my team's tasks are at a level where some face to face early in the week and some remote screen share + video call later in the week are sufficient. We are currently working through a complex bug and I have came into the office on the days I'd normally be remote. It helped. The connectivity of interpersonal relationships is easier to build in person, and so I subscribe to the notion that a minimal amount of time in the office is a good thing if you need a team that works great together. I feel that time varies on how well the team is bonded. With my last team, a day or two a week face to face would be good. With my brand new team where we are still forming and norming, more days all together makes sense.
?? Azure is used mainly by Microsoft customers who prefer Windows VMs, so the low number of Linux VMs is not surprising. It's actually surprisingly high.
I can't use Signal or my local railway app without Google Cloud Messaging.

- Don't use them
- Install Google crapware package
- Install microG, which supplies the APIs so other apps can function normally
Also there is the example of infantry tank. There is the driver who has speed and direction. Then there is the commander who gives orders but apparently has backup system to drive if the driver is incapacitated.

A ship just can't have as much obstacles as tank negotiating battlefield.
Correct - modern art is an art movement during a specific time period.

Contemporary art is simply "made by living artists, now" - and will inevitably be re-name with some -ism to help classify the common themes and styles.
Because it provides a highly uncorrelated alternative to both (1) precious metals like gold and (2) sound currencies like the US Dollar and the Euro. Bitcoin will coexist with them for as long as the Internet exists and encryption works.

In Zimbabwe, where most citizens don't have sufficient or easy access to a sound currency, the price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed past US$10,000: http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/31/africa/zimbabwe-bitcoin-surge/...

Here's a link to something I wrote in 2011 about Bitcoin's potential for long-term price appreciation -- in it I mention not only Zimbabwe's longtime issues with money, but also those of other countries, including Argentina in the early 2000's, Belarus in the years leading to 2002, Bolivia in the mid-1980’s, Brazil in the early 1990’s, Indonesia in 1997, Mexico in December 1994, Poland circa 1991, Russia in August 1998; South Korea in 1997, Thailand in 1997, and Yugoslavia in the early 1990’s. This is far from a complete list of countries that have had major currency problems. Currency crises are pretty common as you go back in history.

For aquatic life of mediterranean this will mean an end since salinity of the see would keep growing.

More realistic approach is restoring lakes of Sahara [1] by combination of desalination plants, solar towers, and huge solar battery installation to cool down the region and get more rain.

It is going to require rather large investment, but it would pay off, by providing place for projected 4 billion Africans to live, and providing a way to slow down the rise of the sea level.

I agree with the first part of your statement.

The second part - it's not a zero-sum game. Why can't both be "real" artists?
I currently commute 45 minutes, but I do work on the side from home. I find the only time I can truly be productive at home is between 4 AM and 9 AM. When everybody (wife / kid) is up, it's hard to avoid distractions at home.

If I worked remotely, I would do that 5 hour stint, make breakfast and play with the kids, then do a gym / coffee shop routine for 3 or so more hours to finish up work for the day.
Finally! Until now after each LineageOS update I had to connect phone to adb, and patch with tingle or needle to re-enable signature spoofing. Great solution, shame the LineageOS devs won't just add this as an flashable zip or configurable option.
That is completely unrelated. This is about propriety Google play services. Not about android or aosp. You can anyway run aosp on any number of devices.
Because needy extroverts want to socialize instead of working. Also, it's easier to leech off the people who are actually productive when you're in an office.

And managers are afraid they'll appear superfluous when they can't walk around disturbing people all day.
