At least in my experience, this is done to keep the view uncluttered. The data is still there, and turning on Satellite view+3D shows the mountains and hills.
I think "load" here is subjective as well eg a spectrum from time to first paint and a page being visible and/or interactive, up until completely loading all async and deferred content, some of which might only happen after the user crosses the fold.

I think there's a lot of interest in optimizing that initial time but less so for the full load.
Framework for now, Core was too young when this started. But we’ve been careful to make sure it’s a switch-flip and not a major effort to move to Core
Very much agree, with only one caveat: unpaved roads.

Google Maps estimates are wildly off when parts of the drive are along unpaved roads in Australia. It assumes a ludicrously low speed of 30-40 km/h for such roads, when most cars are able to go 80+ km/h, depending on the road. I've beaten Google arrival estimates by more than 2 hours on some drives.

When planning drives involving unpaved sections, we usually ask Google for the estimates for the paved sections (which are generally accurate), then estimate the unpaved sections based on the distance and a guess at a reasonable speed for the road.

I've also noticed that Google is much better at estimating speeds along unpaved roads that have mobile signal coverage. It seems like it uses user-generated driving data for them to some extent, but not at all for the ones without coverage. This leads me to think that they accept real-time user data, but will not "queue" the gathered data on the app for uploading later, when mobile signal is available.

This seems like a strange decision, given that unpaved roads and lack of mobile coverage correlate by nature. I suppose it's probably a security-minded decision, to prevent malicious agents from easily uploading bad data. Or maybe a quirk of the way Waze data plays into this.
It is interesting to see all the people up in arms here. Everyone here is assuming that no one knew that Coinbase was going to add Bitcoin Cash. That simply isn't true.

For the last two months, they have said they plan to add it. In fact, Bitcoin Cash was about 280 dollars and it was common knowledge Coinbase was going to support it. You, the employees, and everyone else could have loaded up if you wanted to.

Lastly, there is no real incentive for employees to load up on BCH to make a quick buck. In the first seconds of trading a massive sell wall of 12,000 orders emerged and that would drive the price down dramatically.
In operations management there’s two terms that come to my mind that you are describing. These terms are directed towards consumers’ behavior in whether they will buy a product. The first term is ‘Order Qualifier’ this is the minimum possible feature set (of goods services) that a consumer needs in order to purchase your product. The second is ‘Order Winner’ which differentiates a product from another product once the products have qualified, i.e. met the minimum requirements. You could apply the general principle to recruiting.

To me the way your teacher described Calculus as something that differiantiates two job candidates that are equally qualified it seems more like an Order Winner, but you then went on to say you should narrow your whole group of candidates by that. You shouldn’t cut down your whole pool of candidates by an Order Winner, but by an Order Qualifier. As an example if you’re hiring web developers they may pass an Order Qualifier if they have necessary web development skills. The Order Winner might be that they have good people skills. That may be backwards depending on what you need gaurenteed more. If you feel they can be trained you can certainly do it the other way around. It all depends on what you feel qualifies them and what differentiates them in the final choice.
The headline might as well say "ALL households exposed". The number of households in the US is 126M.
It sounds like you’re describing the pentalobe screw, but security screws have existed for decades. Torx created variants with rejection pins in the 1970s. One-way screws have probably been around much longer than that.

I was using Google Maps in Amsterdam a few months ago and tried to go to a restaurant. Google Maps led me into a tunnel and in the middle was it was happy to announce I reached my destination. It happened to be that this restaurant was located on an island above the tunnel and I actually drove right under it. I have no experience with Apple Maps though.
It's probably worth asking the owner whether it's true, and if so, let them know that's why you don't want to shop there any more.

Just trusting an allegation alone and walking away silently seems both less fair and less effective.

Also, sometimes you find out more to the story. Maybe the owner is very old, and it happened a long time ago, and he's since changed his attitude dramatically. Maybe you forgive him or maybe not, but then you at least put it in perspective.

In any case, certainly don't repeat the unsubstantiated allegation to others.
It's probably both. Apple Maps is lighter on the battery, but I'd assume it uses the GPS too since it uses the battery harder than would be expected with just keeping the screen on.
That’s just flat out wrong. My GitHub profile has gotten strong interest from companies, including the famous big tech companies (I work at one currently), due to having a ton of open source contributions to major projects & smart analysis/questions through participation in open source communities. I also have gotten asked a fair number of questions directly related to my profile during interviews as well, often demonstrating that the interviewers took a non-cursory look at it.

The thing that companies don’t generally care for are non-impressive GitHub profiles. I don’t care about seeing code that doesn’t stick out as not from a craftsman, or just docs contributions when I review resumes/GitHub profiles. I want to see code demonstrating standard industry practices, and smart architecture decisions. I want to see an understanding of testing.

It’s up to the candidate to make good use of GitHub to impress. Most fail at it, but that does not mean that no one looks at GitHub profiles - on the contrary, they usually are quite revealing.
Chatbots: The Ideal Gateways to Upsurge the Attention of the Users
This raises the question: Why delay instead of block?

Assumption is that user wants page to load faster but does not object to tracking.

Basic gethostbyname()->HOSTS file blocking:

exec curl https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection/blocked \
|sed -n '/<\/br>/!{/\./s/^/255.255.255.255 /;};/\./p' >> /etc/hosts;

User may want to add these too:
https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection/unblocked

Beyond HOSTS file, authoritative DNS gives more flexibility, e.g. logging all requests, using wildcards, etc. For example, tinydns:

#!/bin/sh
curl https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection/blocked \
|sed -n '/<\/br>/!{/\./s/.*/.&\
=&:255.255.255.255:1/;};/\./p' >> _root.zone/root/data;
if cd _root.zone/root/data;then exec tinydns-data;fi

Or dnscache:

#!/bin/sh
curl https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection/blocked \
|sed -n '/<\/br>/!{
/\./s/.*/echo 255.255.255.255 > _dnscache\/root\/servers\/& /;};
/\./p' > block.sh;
if sh -c ./block.sh;then exec rm block.sh;fi

Note I am not recommending this particular block list. Compared to the one I use, it seems incomplete. I prefer to create own list from DNS logs from own network traffic. Use of wildcards can shorten a long list like this substantially.

It creates a healthier society in long run if people cannot spend money they don't have. Some goes for the uber decision, I think it's healthier for the job market and society in general when this kind of exploitation of employees is not possible.

User experience of debit cards is just fine, I don't carry any cash, and typing a pin code is just as fast as singing your signature. And currently in the Netherlands debit cards also support contactless payment, where you can pay small amounts of money without proving a pin code. I don't use this though, as I don't feel the need to.
> sarcasm doesn't work well with text.

I think it's more that effective sarcasm in text requires the audience to know the viewpoint of the author. So, sarcasm among friends over email can work. Sarcasm in the concluding paragraph of an article can work.

Sarcasm between strangers in comment sections, less so.
Thank you. I will definitely look into this. At the very least, it still makes an effective and fairly high nitrogen organic fertilizer, while drawing down atmospheric CO2. It's so effective at harvesting CO2, ancient azolla sequestered sufficient CO2 (from 3500 ppm down to 650 ppm) to create a global ice age: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event

Edit: researchers are still studying the issue, but it seems some plants may be capable of concentrating BMAA, which is highly water soluble. Wheat seems to capture it in proteins of the shoots. I haven't found any further specifics other than cycads, which have a cyanobacteria symbiosis and concentrate it in their seed coatings.
> I don't think STV presents any function that would really prevent gerrymandering.

STV with multimember districts (not the degenerate single-member district form also known as IRV) limits the degree of distortion that you can get through how district lines are drawn (whether intentional gerrymandering or otherwise.)

Some people are different and will differentiate candidates by sometimes seemingly unrelated things. I remember hearing a story in my Engineering Communications class that someone was selected for a job over an equally qualified candidate for putting down that they liked to play chess as a hobby. Apparently the person hiring liked chess and thought it stimulated the mind, and I believe they also thought it gave a more human feeling to the candidate.
I was watching the sell wall, and it built up to 12,000 slowly over the period of at least 45 minutes, probably because the ticker price said $8499 on Coinbase.

Where this all starts to smell a little funny is how badly and strangely this was rolled out, how they allowed some trades, and how the price crept up 50-100% before the announcement. Someone said they accidentally released some bitcoin cash UI feature that tipped people off a few days ago. More incompetence.

False accusation is a particular problem for sex crimes because the legality of the act depends on consent.

Transparent proxies break horribly when you need to deal with HTTPS, and I’m not talking about “oh, you need to install the CA” because that’s necessary for a configured proxy as well.

Chrome in particular breaks on any Google domain because they pin keys as a security measure, when using WPAD or manual system proxy settings it will happily connect.

And before someone says “don’t intercept SSL”, I’ve got Sophos XG deployed on my home network to do content filtering to keep my five year old from accidentally pulling up things she shouldn’t online - she’s not at an age where she gets unsupervised access to the computer, she can’t type (or spell sometimes) properly, etc. but it lets me pull open Leapfrog Academy for her and know if she somehow managed to go to elsewhere by accident the chance of her running into age-inappropriate content is minimal.

I enjoy using it. It's well integrated with iOS (and IMHO looks prettier than Google Maps as well).

That's the problem with not only this issue but many others like environmental pollution -- crimes are very hard to detect when the victims are numerous, and the damage is non-public. Needless to say there are many women who have been murdered for rejecting sexual advances.

Just in case anyone would ask 'why' or 'where's the money':

- even privacy conscious people give their location data to their map app

- google maps + google services (android) do everything they can to collect your location data even while not using the app

- how to monetize that data? Measuring online-to-offline conversions! Store visits. This is what retail is after.

Anyone can take $5M for an ad campaign, but if there is a single company that can prove that their ads deliver people to the stores, they get the money and they make case for getting more next time.

To paraphrase Zenyep Tufekci, we're not just building dystopia to make people click ads, we're also surveilling bilions of people to measure retail ad conversions.

Point of clarification: there was no prior announcement that Coinbase would support trading of BCH. In the blogpost to which you likely refer, it is made clear in the last two paragraphs that they would enable withdrawal of existing BCH balances but trading support would be determined at a later date [0]. This closely follows how they enabled the temporary withdrawal of Ethereum Classic after its fork in 2006 [1].

This is fantastic. It'd be nice if this was developed into a full-fledged wiki.
You're conflating an intent to practice sexless-ness with the actuality of it. You're right that we're not practicing it--everywhere we look we see inequity that's obvious tied to gender (or race, or disability...). But we think we are, or at least that we're trying. We've spent a century disassembling laws and customs that treat women differently, and yet the inequities remain. Why are you so hostile to the idea that we're not all that conscious of our lack of sexless-ness in application? That the inequities of sexism are at least partly systemic and not a conscious choice to be discriminatory?

You seem to be arguing that the current production of fertilizers is bad - but that doesn't implicate fertilizers in general(unless it is impossible to do otherwise for some reason).
Philosophy used to be the general designation assigned to anyone who thought alot. This was before science and the delineation of disciplines of thought.

Physicists used to be known as natural philosophers. As the conceptual tools and frameworks they used became so refined and distant from the sort of thinking people normally do that the intelligent layman couldn't contribute, it became clear the activity of the natural philosophers was not just philosophizing, it was doing physics. Thus the physicist was born.

Basically any time a field develops, in that a specific set of related questions is identified and pursued, the devotees to the field become identified with the field. Biologists, linguists, psychologists, physicists, chemists... They are all essentially philosophers, all thinking critically about problems that concern them, but we want to be precise with our language so we develop more specific words to describe them and their actions.
> I was thinking the same thing of "who cares."

Intersting, I have the opposite opinion precisely because I walk to most places. Building outlines give you a good idea of where you can walk–often taking the Manhattan path through a city is suboptimal, and you can cut through blocks based on what's in them. Building outlines let you know if there are alleyways that you can go through.
You are 100% wrong. Sexual harassment is EXCLUSIVELY a civil cause of action. It is NOT a crime, end of story. It's honestly baffling that you could have looked at any of those cases and not known you were looking at a civil case.

Erdogan rival vows to overturn executive presidency
Ooooh, good point.
Approval voting and score voting are problematic for reasons standard analyses overlook; there's no obvious mapping from actual preferences to ballot markings. Ranked preference ballots don't have this problem (well, unforced ranking that allows ties doesn't, forced rankings do, but to the degree that approval and score voting do.)

Both scores and approvals are ambiguous in meaning and different people with the exact same preferences would map ballot papers differently. (In situations other than standard public elections, this may not be the case: approval is great for voting on group activities where either “approve” is a binding commitment to participate if the choice is chosen, or “disapprove” is a binding opt-out if the option is chosen.)
