Totally legit reason in some countries. In Czech republic this became such a topic that half a year ago the government implemented a new system. Now every single payment cash or cashless has to be sent in real time to central gov server. This also means that every merchant has to have digital terminal so almost all of them accept credit cards.

Many restaurants (especially those with good service + good price) had to increase their prices a lot since then.
A perfect example would be the immigration debate. I believe if you are in this country ilegally you should be deported. Apparantly, according to many many liberals, that makes me a "racist."

Of course race has nothing to do with it, I couldn't care less what color you are , if you're here illegally you need to be deported. And it's not just me, but I constantly see others who have the same beliefs getting accused of being racist.

And that's just one example. I've seen people be accused of being sexist just because they didn't like Hilary Clinton. It was actually really common for liberals to accuse opponents of Clinton of being sexist regardless of the total absence of any evidence of actual sexism.
Sounds a bit like Fairphone (well, not the ugly part)

It's really amazing how quickly the topic shifts after the repeal of Net Neutrality. Places were pushing this topic constantly in attempt to shift debate on why insuring ISPs don't do any silly things with user traffic. It very quickly became 'Google and Facebook are monopolies and are controlling all of your content / censoring everything'.

This isn't to say that I don't agree that Google and Facebook are exceedingly large companies with far-reaching tendrils controlling a lot of what we see and do. But rather it's blatantly obvious that it's setting up a new target to avoid backlash against giving ISPs effectively more power, especially over said companies. I mean it would be less obvious if he literally didn't come out and say that thing, plus various far-right websites repeating the topic but that's the world we live in right now. I have a feeling the topic won't stick at all beyond being a convenient whataboutism.
There is absolutely no evidence that Tesla is doing what you say. In fact, if they were, this curve https://images.hgmsites.net/med/tesla-model-s-mileage-vs-rem... would stay at 100% for a while instead of immediately dropping.
On a legal level, you are correct. On a practical level, people are able to share text and image files without consequences while companies like facebook and google provide tools to detect and proactively police copyright infringement in audio and video files.
Yup! Making my way through Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea right now. It's a little more "pop math" than Fermat's Enigma or The Code Book.

I also have The Man Who Loved Only Numbers and Elliptic Tales on my to-read list once I wrap up Zero.
i mean if you want to redefine network neutrality you are welcome to do so. I'm not sure what the definition you are using is or where it comes from.

i think your definition muddies the waters. if firefox shipped with a built-in default-on child filter would that be a net neutrality violation in your eyes? if it just slowed down adult content would it violate net neutrality? where even is the line here and is the line meaningful?
It is just _so_ easy to make the whole thing public vs what it takes for more granular privileges (though I do agree that it's pretty straight forward if you understand how to set bucket policies, etc.). It's really just a couple of clicks in the console - it's a classic usability vs. security problem.
All fees go to the person who mines the next block, so in order to guarantee you get the fees, you need a mining machine that wins every time (in which case you'd be in control of way more than just the fees). Basically, you can't.

How to build an apk from command line without ide
Right, all those things are different ways of saying wealth.

The implication made uphtread is that the rich were best in terms of (lower) intrafamilial conflict. One might assume that wealth produced that effect, one might also assume that the rich were more dependent on social status and property for support, while the poor were more dependent on having close relations who could give aid and lacked assets to fight over, thus leading to less intrafamilial conflict than among the rich.
Among the many disadvantages of taking coalition building away from the legislative level (where it is in most democracies) is that it no longer takes more votes to win than to lose. With single-winner districts, a party getting more votes and fewer seats than another party and a majority government can rule with a minority of the votes.
> Both are in fixed quantity so none is more rare than other.

Yes, gold is fixed by the limited amount of it in the world, solar system, and universe. We haven’t even mined most of the gold on earth. If you’re worried about supply shocks, gold is infinitely more vulnerable.

I was going to respond to more of your points but many of them are obviously the exact opposite of true. Are you being sarcastic?
Hmm, you’re right.

I think my confusion was that Mac AppleCare used to be advertised as an additional 2 years (you could buy it as your standard warranty expired) but it’s now advertised as 3 years from device purchase too. Wonder when that changed…
It's not even all of music but just a subset of music that has compulsory licensing. If you want to use a band's song in a commercial for your product you can't if they won't let you.

You also see this flare up in politics from time to time generally when a GOP candidate plays a song from a liberal leaning band at events and the band demands that this stop.
I'm not sure that proves the iPhone gets slower with each update.

Whenever I announce an update my users suddenly become hyper-sensitive and start reporting bugs that have been present for weeks/months. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar effect here.
You are correct. derefr and tolien are incorrect.

iPhone comes with 1 year warranty. AppleCare+ extends that an additional year for a total of 2 years from purchase date.

From the site you linked above:
"Every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $29 for screen damage, or $99 for any other damage, plus applicable tax. In addition, you’ll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone."
Unless the device is physically out of space for storing things, there is no excuse for putting up a modal loading indicator because of a server-only problem.

As a general rule, every single edit should be able to return control to the user immediately. If the network can’t be reached, save locally and attempt an update in the background (showing a small, unobtrusive annotation that an update is pending, as opposed to a screen-erasing obnoxious progress popover). And definitely don’t erase everything the user did if the network ends up being unreachable.

My biggest problem with S3 is the old multi-layered security model with bucket policies and ACLs. They need to update it to just use IAM like everything else.

Most? Absolute nonsense. The Nexus 7 have a small issue that was resolved when Google added TRIM support for Android. That was years ago.

I have a long history with almost every Android device. The device doesn't get slower, the battery life just gets terrible.
Bear in mind though, Microsoft has, with Edge, created a wrapped for both iOS and Android which implements their browser features (and data sync) on top of the OS's browser components. Even though in Android's case, that's not a requirement.

In that respect, Microsoft may want "Firefox" and "Chrome" in the Windows Store, but believe that all browsers should use the rendering engine of the OS, similar to Apple's position with iOS.

Similarly, we could say that science is 'whatever studies Nature publishes', but that doesn't tell us much and threatens to leave the mistaken impression that Nature is merely capricious and arbitrary.

While I agree with your conclusion, we shouldn't forget that philosophy and other marketplaces you mention have standards based mostly on what proved to be true in the past, what can withstand argument and criticism in the idea marketplace, and on a commitment to excellence and achievement.
BTC is far more likely to hit zero than to outstrip gold.
@tolien: Yeah I remember when AppleCare for Mac did that too. Not sure at what point it changed to "within 60 days of purchase."
Darknet sites accept litecoin and monero now. At least some do. The BTC transaction fees are hitting a large percentage of their customers (people making sub $200 dollar transactions). That plus monero is better for their purposes anyway.
Another idea: Apple could pop up a dialog at a certain point saying your battery is sub-optimal (but not doomed) and you should replace it for the best experience.

I’m sure that would go over GREAT.

What I'm saying is that there shouldn't be an expectation that everyone has an opinion on every controversial topic, and your lack of an opinion on it shouldn't make you a bad person in the eyes of one side or the other (or both). Not having an opinion on a topic does not mean I ignore its existence.

What's a complete mystery to me is why isn't China keeping The USA in check? The US is the biggest CO2 emitters in the world and is slowing killing the world for everyone. China needs to arm those nuclear weapons to keep the US from polluting the world into oblivion.

Chip of the Day: TRW MPY-16AJ – Making Multiplication Manageable
you've essentially described the first steps of an STV election ....

In an STV election people make a list, at step 4 above the highest vote on your list that's still viable accrues to someone, if they get more votes that required the portion of your vote that's needed to elect the person stays with them and the rest of your vote moves down your list ... whenever the process gets stuck the person with the least number of votes is removed from contention and their voters get to try the next person on their list
Meh. They made bubble money. The end.

New accounts have limits imposed (your account name is green, signal of account age [12 days old]).
The Forbes article also points out that the DB is now secured. I have 2 take-aways:

1. This isn't an announcement that our details have been leaked, so much as a reminder that our details are now and will perpetually be leaked, in one form or another by an externalized party.

2. Databases mapping all American households exist.
> I’ve always been curious about how so seemingly little work has gone into speech generation, compared to graphics and physics and other technologies.

The issue is coming first from the lack of assets. Voice samples that you can use for speech synthesis are not available easily, apart from your voice and a few friends' maybe. Then there's always been the issue that speech synthesis was not very good (we had working speech synthesis back in 1985 on the Amiga Workbench, but it was pretty much what you'd expect in terms of quality), and "not good enough" can break the experience.

On top of that, speech synthesis is not an easy problem, it's definitely in the realm of machine learning, and video games development does not touch so much on machine learning so far. I think there's a ton of applications for machine learning in games (such as making less stupid AI, or more human-like AI), and speech synthesis is definitely one of them.
Their FAQ seems to disagree with you:

Is Dynamicland open source?

Dynamicland shares many core values with the open source movement and in some ways goes beyond them.

A primary design principle at Dynamicland is that all running code must be visible, physically printed on paper. Thus whenever a program is running, its source code is right there for anybody to see and modify. Likewise the operating system itself is implemented as pages of code, and members of the community constantly modify and improve it.

That said, the pages of code physically in Dynamicland are not in a git repository. The community organizes code spatially — laying it out on tables and walls, storing it in folders, binders, and bookshelves.

I'm studying the sorting thing. Opus/catalogue number: not so easy because the data comes from sources that treat this information as strings. But I can think of a text parser, for example. Year of composition: doable.
Well, there's some hyperbole there, although I guess your profile does advertise "Rants and over-reactions."

It's interesting that you're Slovenian, though. Here's a question for you. According to your definition of "diversity" does the fact that Cleveland has the largest Slovenian population outside of Slovenia make it more diverse? Does the fact that Cleveland's ethnicities tend to form their own neighborhoods indicate less diversity, somehow? I always thought it was cool that Beachwood had the highest concentration of Jews anywhere outside Israel, but maybe instead of viewing that as an indicator of Cleveland's diversity, people think my God, they're putting their Jews in the ghetto.

As is common to newcomers, I was struck with bouts of diarrhea on a regular basis for the first few weeks. When I started eating "tuna" (which is the prickly pear fruit mentioned in the linked article) every morning as part of my breakfast routine, the intestinal issues went away. I don't know for sure that the two things are connected, but definitely has made living here a lot easier.
It's cool that they have two SIM slots and an SD slot. I wish more phones had that. But the removable battery doesn't seem to be particularly large.
Apparently anyone who wants this data can simply purchase it from Experian. The leak doesn't change anything except the price.
The key difference is that those physical assets do not die with you.

They exist in that safe until someone with a plasma cutter or a Hilti coring rig takes it from you.
I've failed to grasp it enough to explain it to a 5 yr old, but I think i love the idea. I've always cringed at giving a 10 yr old a laptop which simply becomes a conduit to a flash-based gaming in the browser. Activity based programming should be the foundation for years before they touch a PC imho. Its collaborative and fun - so it seems.
I think it was because IOTA experienced an influx of spam transactions which were not dealt with properly.

I'm sure that IOTA still has issues but I think that the core DAG/tangle concept is sound. Unlike with most other tokens, these problems should be relatively easy to fix... My bet is that it's much easier to scale a DAG than a Blockchain. But I'm sure that some blockchain-based tokens will also scale eventually.

You're right, I wrote the wrong thing, they are substantially different things and shouldn't be confused.

It changes absolutely nothing about what I intended to say, sexual harassment is serious, it still goes through the court system, due process still applies, preventing it is good for the public.
While I understand what you’re saying I’d respectfully disagree in places. You point out that most of these ideas predate religion and I think most people hold the more backward ideas due to habit and overall culture rather than explicit religion. Also I believe that one of the most potent forces for greater acceptance for LGBT people has been that more and more people are coming out and that people realize, “oh hey that’s my daughter or my cousin”.

I think it’s helpful also to recognize that while it is indisputably right that LGBT people have full equal rights and standing, that idea is relatively new to the broader discourse. It’s going to take a little time for it to fully sink in everywhere, the wrong perspective has a large historical head start. I firmly believe it will happen, just over 50 years ago we had explicit Jim Crow in the south. While there’s still a ways to go, it’s amazing how much progress we’ve made in such short time.

But for that to happen I think we have to be a bit patient and willing to talk to people whose views we might find cringeworthy. You can’t persuade someone you’re not communicating with.
https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm

>It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature... Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
No deal at all is always better than a terrible one. We walked away today.
Humans are social mammals. If you want the benefits of herd membership, then that requires some degree of conformity and surrender of autonomy. That is the price we all must pay. If you want to be independent and go another way then do so and don't cry about the consequences of your choice.

Don't show up to a high end night club wearing swimming trunks and crocs and expect the bouncer to let you in. Don't go to a klan rally preaching racial tolerance and expect to be invited back. Don't hang out in a diverse, multi-ethnic environment preaching white supremacy and expect people to pat you on the head.
This discussion is about allegations which range from rape down to "acting creepy." Some of these are crimes.

Even if we aren't initially talking about a crime, I would find it unjust if a billionaire quietly paid off 100 victims of sexual harassment, and then committed an assault. "Who could have predicted this?!?!"
Yes, I really think that the Winklevoss twins deserve a prequel and sequel of The Social Network movie and also directed by David Fincher. There are two rare events. I assume the Winklevoss twins were exposed to less risky ventures in their life but they chose the risky ones.

On a broader note, it is important that in the age of (mis)information, that genuine advancements/improvements on tech are advertised properly.

This is difficult because taxpayers often take a dim view on their money being spent on marketing government programs. Unfortunately with large companies advertising directly against programs that often run contrary to what is in the public interest, it is arguably in the public interest to market public sector programs.

This issue being what is the difference between this and tax payer funded propaganda...? It's a tough area of discussion by any stretch, but its become clear that advertising/informing the public is kinda needed to offset the campaigning against public programs from large industry.
