That quote really hurts. My iPhone 6S has had spontaneous shutdowns since the first winter it was out (and is supposedly not in the replacement program). No previous Apple phones did. This winter it's the same. To me it suggests a more widespread defect that they do not wish to admit.

I still don't know what you're saying. The IRS doesn't care which one is the true Bitcoin...it's going to treat coins held on each blockchain as separate assets...
The Government also "tracks" large amounts of cash, which are about as anonymous, through audits - both random and based on red flags. Basically, they send round someone with the ability to lock you up if they can prove you've intentionally hidden assets from them, and they're very, very good at seeking out inconsistencies in your books.

That's no longer true. ClojureScript can now be self-hosted.

[Edit to correct: the following is no longer entirely valid: see downthread.]

That said, if you want to benefit from the Google Closure optimizations, you currently do need to use the JVM toolchain. IIRC, there's been work on the Google Closure side to run without a JVM, and if that's the case, there may be opportunities in the future to take advantage of this in the ClojureScript toolchain.

You do realize that my argument directly mirrors a real-life occurance... right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ratner

My point in making the example isn't to establish a framework for evaluating the Eich situation, but to indicate that it can be evaluated in the first place by showing an example in which a clear judgement can be made. This is contrary to your original emphatic position that "you just shouldn't police beliefs, period"

Defending Eich requires you not believe with enough conviction that his actions harmed the organization sufficiently to warrant removal. That's fine. You can fiddle with the conviction and harm knobs according to your beliefs. It does not, however, preclude anyone else from doing the same and coming to a different conclusion, which your policing argument would do, oddly enough.

If you want to go a different route and instead justify non-firing on completely separate grounds - that censuring political positions is, if consistent and widespread, noxious to society, or perhaps that the ambiguity in applying these standards is too high and might cause a chilling effect, etc - that raises different issues, but not those I was discussing.

Can you specify which "shady drugs" are these? Because I'm not seeing it. In this particular case, the addon was written by Mozilla employees, and was completely harmless. I don't think Mozilla did well - and I've said so in the original thread - but calling it shady compared to Google ads? That's laughable. DoubleClick is one of the largest malware distribution platforms in history.
There's something to be said about how the code is written. I've seen easy to read C++ and hard to read go (I found go's built in http server source code to be a tough read) and vice versa. In Mesos we strive to write very readable code and so I would hope that despite being modern C++, it is approachable for an uninitiated reader.

TFA is explicit that it is reporting on a legislative change (expected but not yet signed into law) that'd be effective January 1, 2018. It strongly implies a more-favorable treatment is being lost, and that more-favorable treatment was still available for ty2016, and is still available 'now', and through December 31, 2017.
The action/belief dichotomy is illusory. You're never going to police something inside someone's head, so the reaction will be in respect of an action and what it signals.

The Netflix show Lady Dynamite does a sort of gag with colorization to define moods of scenes. Different timelines of her story have their colors overdone on purpose, to comedic effect. It's pretty clever.
That's a fair point, too. And non-governmentally, there's nothing preventing Joe Neonazi from creating an LGBTQ-friendly-seeming instance to collect people to harass.

One mitigating factor, though, is that there seems to be a wider disconnect between Mastodon IDs and real life IDs than there is between real life and Twitter. I have plenty of Mastodon friends who could be sitting at the next desk as I type this for all I know. Also, having multiple Mastodon accounts is seen as a perfectly normal and acceptable thing to do, so @joe@joefamily.name might post vastly different stuff than on their @jane@transfriendly.social.

Premeditated tax-negligence is fraud according to the IRS, but the thinking remains.

That's pure speculation with a million seemingly unfounded assumptions behind it.

My reasoning is pretty simple: since this crash happened on the very first run, and PTC would have prevented it, it looks probable that the danger of PTC-preventible crashes was substantially higher on the new line. I don't know about the reasons or causes or potential mitigations, I'm just looking at the outcome.

It is possible that it's just a horrible coincidence. But that's not the way to bet.

You're right that it's all hindsight. We can't go back in time and push back the opening of the new line or push forward the installation of PTC. What we can do is convert this hindsight into foresight for the next time.

> "When an element's autofill field name is "off", the user agent should not remember the control's data, and should not offer past values to the user."

Seems pretty clear to me. The only exception I see is:

> "A user agent may allow the user to override an element's autofill field name, e.g. to change it from "off" to "on" to allow values to be remembered and prefilled despite the page author's objections, or to always "off", never remembering values."

But that's user-initiated action, not something the browser should do for every field just because it feels like it.
I'll stick with the Rockchips, thanks. Snapdragon requires binary blobs for ARM trustzone, which makes it as bad as Intel ME or AMD PSP. It also has integrated LTE with baseband backdoor.

This only signals to me is that Qualcomm decided to move to a kernel GPU driver with userland binary blob tied to a specific LTS kernel like Rockchips have with Mali.

That's a false analogy because it presumes that marriage between gays is even possible. Those with the strongest arguments against gay marriage hold that:

- marriage is a natural institution that the state recognizes (the state, technically, does not marry people)

- marriage is ultimately rooted in the intrinsic capacity (though not necessarily the successful exercise e.g. impotence does not render marriage invalid) for sexual reproduction and the complementarity of the sexes

Therefore, they hold that there simply is no such thing as gay marriage, and you cannot deny what does not exist.

Not just fluid intelligence, but overall energy, enthusiasm, etc.

A lot of old people here seem to be clutching onto "experience" but it is heavily overrated in a society/industry based on learning new things.

Younger people have more potential ( intellectually and physically ), they can work more and they are able to learn new things far more quickly than old people. Add to that the fact that young people are already immersed in new technology and they fit more naturally in a younger tech work force.

It's like asking why magazines seek younger men and women? Because it works and it's the optimal solution.
Would those hosters scale up to serve arbitrary amounts of traffic? Would they automatically replace hosts that failed? Could they seamlessly integrate with systems that can store and query unlimited amounts of data? Did they have a system like API Gateway to put your CGI scripts behind? Did they have deployment systems that would set up all of the above and more with a single command, like Serverless? Also are you aware that Lambda is exceedingly cheap?
That’s not what I remembered, but upon reflection you’re probably right since lack of multiuser support is difficult to reconcile with a true protected memory model.

WebKit is a cross-platform web browser engine. On iOS and macOS, it powers Safari, Mail, iBooks, and many other applications.

Midori is also based on WebKit: http://midori-browser.org

AFAIK Safari does not provide more privacy protections than WebKit.
"Safari ships new features on a much slower cadence, but they’re usually solid and always perform incredibly well"

Well, clearly this person doesn't have much experience with web development... The webengine in iOS is the biggest pile of crap I've ever worked with since IE6.

"Oh? You want to click this? OK, let's wait for 300 ms just in case you want to double tap to scroll!"

"We finally fixed it, no more delay on clicks! Yo Apple, the delay is still there if it runs as standalone, good job..!"

"OK, you've added the page to the home screen, now, if you click another URL on the same domain you definitely want it opened in the browser, right? Good guess Apple, that's why I added it.."

"Wait, are you saying that if you switch to another app and back again to the standalone site you don't want us to reload the URL that's added to the home screen? You would prefer us to let you continue where you left off, what!?!?"

"Oh, so you think momentum scrolling is a good idea? Too bad, we don't support it on elements that overflow, but we do have it elsewhere, have fun! PS we do have an experimental flag to enable it, but then I sure hope you're not using animations with gpu acceleration, cause then we have som nice race condition bugs in store for you, so who knows if scroll will work or not.."

Seriously, iOS is the worst of them. Sure Firefox and Chrome often has experimental features with bugs, but both of them are much more "solid" when it comes to features you'll actually use in production.

Safari on iOS is the IE6 of today.
> Cargo and Rustup seem to be in competition to the existing package management systems. Why not integrate rust and the libraries into the existing packagement systems, like so many other software projects do? How is Cargo and rustup better than Apt?

> Also, Apt is perfectly usable without internet. One can download the entire Debian archive to a hard drive and use it without any external connections. How would I do that with Cargo and Rustup? This is just one point. There are so many scenarios Apt already has solutions for, that Cargo and Rustup probably didn't even consider yet.

You can't simply ignore 98% of the users of other operating systems just because it happens for you today to use a Debian based system. The fact that Rust has an OS independent package manager is a huge plus for Rust adoption.

As the link notes, Blizzard complied with Chinese law regarding posting odds and posted a page on their Chinese Hearthstone site (http://hs.blizzard.cn/articles/20/9546) stating that, on average, 1 legendary card could be expected for every 20 packs (of 5 cards).

It is possible that Blizzard uses different odds by region but that seems unlikely.

It's driven off whats called your dollar cost average.

This is wrong for cryptocurrency, at least for Bitcoin. Because bitcoin is an asset for tax purposes, each coin (meant here as any quantity of cryptocurrency, not a specific unit) is subject to an individual tax computation, so you must use the actual price paid for each coin as the basis for computing taxes. You must also compare each coin's basis against the actual selling price of that coin at the time sold.

Note that this is generally also how you calculate gains/losses related to foreign currencies.

Social obligations. Which is what always ends my fasts. I had scheduled to do some traveling and meet some friends. I ate vegetarian food for the first week after the fast. It was two days till I got my strength back, and several more days before I felt 100%. I've read there is a unique kind of diabetes that comes up when you do a long fast. When we say "diabetes" we tend to think of Type II, which comes from over-eating, but I've read that "diabetes" actually refers to any disregulation of the insulin response. And it makes sense that we wouldn't have much of an insulin response after 12 days without food. Because the purpose of insulin is to sweep excess nutrition out of our blood stream and into our cells, especially our fat cells, but if you've just gone 12 days without food, then there is no excess -- the cells are desperate for whatever nutrition they can get.
Also, the more wealthy you are, the better you'd be at delaying gratification, even if you are very young. If you never know hunger or want and you know that the "marshmellow" will always be there, then you can more easily delay gratification. But if you are poor and you know that the marshmellow might not be there tomorrow, you are less likely to delay gratification.

The jvm is still a really good runtime. Java is a way more consistent language than javascript. Other languages running on top of the jvm are way more beautiful and sensible than javascript. The jvm can be leveraged many ways when it comes to performance and use cases, and I consider it way more stable than different javascript runtime implementations running in different browsers coded by different organizations.

Out of curiosity, why do you think the JVM is such a thing of the past and so bloated and clunky? I'm curious about what reasons people have. From my own experience, I get that javascript is easy to start things in, but damn, it can get sucky once you have to maintain and refactor a bigger codebase. It just feels like javascript and node gets a lot of mindshare since it is what the web industry pushes down everyones throat sometimes :/
