Google Maps actually has the shape of the buildings in my neighborhood incorrect because earlier it was blocked by huge trees, shrouding the shape of the building.
It has advantages. You can send/receive unlimited amounts of money without some third party deciding to block or reverse the transaction. It is a single currency for the world. It can't be hyperinflated.
I recognize this. I live in a part of the Netherlands where there is only ONE highway going through the area. Yet Google Maps and TomTom both want to send me through the nature reserve instead of via the highway running parallel to the nature reserve. The reason is that the route through the nature reserve is a few kilometers shorter and the speed limits are set wrong. Both Google Maps and TomTom think you can drive at highway speeds on those roads.

Signs have been setup to block cars from entering those roads during morning and evening rush hour. But still you see many people taking that road, blindly following the map instructions.

Or, if OpenStreetMap is lacking in your local area, help out! OpenStreetMap thrives when local mappers are involved.

Compare this section of a Dutch city:

Google: https://www.google.nl/maps/@53.1983621,5.767509,16z?hl=nl

OpenStreetMap: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/53.1986/5.7679

Apple: (I guess Apple maps can't be linked to on the web?)

It also helps a lot if your government can be persuaded to open up their geographical data. All the building outlines are right there on the map in the Netherlands, up to date to within weeks, because the Dutch OpenStreetMap volunteers work with government data that is permissively licensed and cleared for use with OpenStreetMap. In fact, mistakes in that data set are also picked up by the local OpenStreetMap mappers, and reported back to the government cadastral map. Everyone benefits.
French Digital Council beheaded after firing of black woman activist
The statement assumes that one considers the poetic qualities as significant as marketability - not useful. You seem to have misunderstood the creators' intentions as they have no interest in providing you a "practical demonstration" or anything practical at all.

Art has little direct use - Michelangelo's David has very little practical value, yet it's significance is immense.

The creators of this project do not care for the practical value of any of this. They wish to experiment in the hope that some poetic qualities of their work will be deemed significant enough to carry on into new works (some of which may actually be useful).
I checked both London and a small city in Italy and there is simply no comparison looking at the building details.
So would bitcoin be a step back here?
The check to that is more parties, where the most conservative/liberal has actual competition on being the most extreme.

Your change to gerrymandering doesn't make pushing for the extremes a worse strategy. Even in a perfectly split district, roughly 25% vote Democrat, 25% Republican, and 50% don't vote. That 50% is a better target than any voters on the fence.
Europe’s #1 financial marketplace Raisin gets an 8-digit investment from Paypal
At the time, did you (not) expect bitcoin to succeed in becoming a payment method, displacing paypal and credit cards, or did you (not) expect bitcoin to become "digital gold", of little use except for being something that most of the time more people want to buy than sell? If it was the former, there is very little to beat yourself up about.
But those "33% Asian" consist largely of 1st or 2nd generation Americans. People who largely still hold strong cultural ties from the dozens of countries they came from (along with their languages).

you can't implement it _this_ way, but you can still implement a binary search tree (Btreemap is a b-tree, which is a generalization of a binary tree).

Normally in Rust for a tree like structure with parent pointers you'd either use unsafe code or use Rc/Weak, depending on what you need.

As far as binary search trees are concerned IIRC you can implement them without parent pointers, you'd move your relocation method to something called on the parent node.
I would say Facebook and Google does the exact opposite of insulating people from alt-right media, it hobbles their competition quite a bit leaving alt-right media spread unhindered.

Serious publications spend a lot of money on research, distribution, and marketing that alt right publications like Breitbart and their smaller, European counterparts don't need to bother with because their material distributes itself. All they need is a headline that makes you angry at minorities and social media does all the legwork for them, people are not even going to open the article before they click "share" or interact with a reaction that promotes it in the personalization algorithms.

So, when Facebook and Google are basically the only digital players who have increasing ad revenues we have a serious problem.
> Apple encourages people to take their phones into Apple stores/authorized dealers to get the battery replaced.

Not in my experience. Bring your iphone to an apple shop and ask for the battery to be replaced. Apple will most likely refuse unless the battery is shown as severely damaged in the settings.
If it costs $20 to move a million dollars, then why not use a $30 wire transfer? The way I see it is that Bitcoin's advantage should be to move any amount of value across the internet for a low flat fee; anything less then the hassle of using the Bitcoin network outweighs the benefit.

When you write a Micropub implementation the primary spec involves an unholy JSON format.

About 80% of the code I wrote was just dedicated to finding out whether or not I'm updating an article, creating a new one, deleting the article entirely and which attributes need updating.

The JSON format has an immense amount of issues relating to irregularity, some fields have html and text sub-attributes but this doesn't seem documented properly anywhere, not even the MF2 page, everything is an array even where it makes 0 sense to do so and as an implementer I'm somehow expected to then process and store this mess as a coherent article.

Part of the spec validation involves storing a publication which contains almost no text and some user defined elements for some reason. And I'm expected to understand and properly update these custom elements if requested.

I don't disagree that Maps lacks a lot of smarts. Sometimes I ponder back to years ago, thinking my TomTom then worked better already than Maps now.

I've written a bit of a rant on a sibling comment but the TL;DR is that the IndieWeb movement has spawned some protocols which feel more like "what we happened to use is standard" instead of developing a sane standard.

My favorite nitpick is that it's rather difficult to tell if a Micropub POST request is an create, read, update or delete operation. They could have used POST, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods but apparently that's too complicated.

Battery technology is already improving by roughly 8% a year.

There is no need for a nobel prize level breakthrough.

These modern technologies like photovoltaic and eletric vechiles are already viable today. They are within the same order of magnitude as the technology they are replacing and the gap is decreasing with every year.

There is a lot of useless crap out there that doesn't at all work like gravity batteries. EVs and PV are not part of that category.

I hadn't watched one before, but I just watched the facism one to try picking it apart. I was expecting something considerably more in line with conspiracy theorist youtuber's I have watched.

Its rather disturbing how the roughly correct facts (I'm not sure about complete correctness as I haven't read much about fascism) are quickly assembled into an argument that conservatism is "better" than liberalism.
Exciting project! Looks like it could lead to some real advances in human-computer interaction. Large working area(desk, walls or the whole floor) and automatically tracking and digitizing written notes and diagrams sounds very cool. Maybe this and voice recognition will be the future of HCI if someone manages to iron out the kinks and make it seamless.

But programming by putting A4 sheets side by side? I only see that being useful as an education tool.

...and that shows why high quality brakes don't usually change driving behavior. Go ahead and test the quality of the brakes in your car. Nobody brakes remotely like that outside of a racetrack. It feels (at least to me) like something is happening that shouldn't be happening, so you don't get the crazy idea to rely on it in your driving. The braking power of modern cars is in the range of 600 hp when braking from 100 km/h to zero.

That said, my driving instructor said "if you use your brakes on the autobahn in normal driving, you are doing it wrong". That is because you can see far and air resistance slows you down quickly enough.

It's pretty great to see students diving into serverless architecture head-on. We've been partnering and participating in a number of student hackathons with StdLib [1] and the amount students can achieve in less than 36 hours with our FaaS platform has knocked our socks off, kudos to AWS for kickstarting this transition. It's been wild to see the evolution of the "serverless" landscape just in the past 12 months, messaging has moved from cost-reduction (no over-provisioning) to time-saving and ease-of-use across the board. Seems that developers are finally starting to value the time it takes to learn and implement something and optimize for shipping value ASAP.

What's exciting to me is that this is just the beginning. These students are representative of the next generation of developers. So much innovation left to go; I believe we'll eventually look upon the "cloud" as merely an extension of our own computers, auto-scaling and responding to any workload seamlessly much like how nowadays we rarely give second thought to memory management, garbage collection, etc. when writing in JavaScript or Python.

Why does this correlate so well with iOS version increments?

My iPhone 6 was faultless prior to the upgrade to iOS 11, and immediately after it battery life was greatly reduced and it now shuts down automatically when the battery hits 10%.

Apparently I am now supposed to accept that the battery has degraded not gradually but all at once and on the same day as I upgraded iOS, and this is now being managed for my benefit by the OS. Hmmm...

Absolutely not. I used osm all last year while travelling. The fact you can download offline an entire country worth of data beats the hell out of Google Maps' offline mode. Also the searching by category is brilliant.
I've been wondering about this for a long time. Many articles on the net gloss over the fact that conservation of energy also holds for "closed" aquaponics systems, and that in the end, we eat biologically processed fish food that needs to be bought in the first place. Fish food is probably produced with less stringent rules than food for humans, e.g. regarding heavy metal content \m/ and other contaminations.

I think Windows 10 S has more to lose than Chrome in this new browser battle. Even on regular Windows 10 people go against every trick Microsoft throws at them to use Chrome rather than Edge (which is kind of a low feature Internet Explorer). If Windows 10 S wants to define itself as the only version of Windows where you will be forced no matter what to use Edge, they will stay in the low single digit market share.

This is not a mobile version of an OS where the browser doesn’t really matter because there aren’t many things you can do with only fingers anyway. This is a full blown desktop OS to be used by laptops.

[edit] actually how would the Chrome installer work in the first place? I thought the very definition of Windows 10 S was that it only allows apps from the store. How would that download app install anything?

This varies in strange ways. I dont know how facebook does this and if i could get more but i have seen facebook datasets from three people including mine.

Usualy it is all photos and vids yove uploaded, comments etc.

Mine was most complete. Including some sort of keywords tags i am interested in. Not things i followed but what fb thinks i like.

Other datasets did not include this but one included all the times someone connected to the account including IP and location.

> an online judge necessarily imposes more rigid constraints because of the automated verification

The platform is evolving to not be as rigid anymore as well. For example, we have a product (in a closed beta) which assess candidates on complete projects (eg: build a nodejs app that defines this api and behavior), and testing and scoring is based on unit test cases.

This way, you are testing for more real-world usecases, and also allowing the flexibility beyond straight IO.
Can't really blame Microsoft for this. Neither Google, nor Apple will ever allow publishers to publish just links to their own download pages in the Play/App Stores.
the title is misleading, it is not even a full installer, it is an app that just redirect you to a download link.

google refuses to provide a full Chrome app for the Microsoft Store because it requires browsers to use the built-in HTML and JavaScript engines provided by Windows 10. google agreed to let its ios version of Chrome to use Apple's webkit, but apparently it is not happy to do something similar for Microsoft.

now who is the problem here? Microsoft or Google? ;)

> iPhones do have replaceable batteries, only not DIY. It's like $80 w/o warranty or AppleCare.

The easiness of replacing the battery has gone up with iPhone 7/8/X compared to iPhone 6. You can verify this on iFixit guides. The iPhone 6 is _relatively_ easy to replace because you don't need say a heatgun. You do need some special screwdrivers which you gotta buy. You can, on iFixit. I just bought a whole kit (on sale during Black Friday).

Philosophy today is a joke, it's all the bits which real, disciplined, thinkers can't be bothered with yet. Philosophy is a massive con, basically armchair thinkers who offer no practical, testable, recreatable, advice. And I did an actual Philosophy degree!

The only bastion of Philosophy had left was moral philosophy and even that's becoming irrelevant now neuroscience and social science are becoming grown up sciences and giving us cold, hard facts of why our brain finds things moral or not, and what moral rules actually work for communities.

Meanwhile, the moral philosophers all wander off and have a good old argument about if being altruistic is really being altruistic because it makes you feel good and what is the meaning of the word 'know'. So edgy, so sexy, so completely pointless.

It varies. I can always tell when they change the map provider and/or data in my area, because my Uber Eats drivers start getting lost at different intersections.

If I look up my home address on Google Maps, it puts the pin in the correct location, at the actual residence. But as of a few days ago, the Uber Eats drivers aren't making it past the mailboxes at the end of my (long) driveway. They no longer appear to be showing the drivers my GPS location at all, just the location associated with the address of the residential mailbox. Very annoying in a first-world problem kind of way.
Government is unrelated to shorting, Governments may chose to destroy Bitcoin for the same reason the may ban it. Basically, currency controls etc.

> Edge (which is kind of a low feature Internet Explorer).

I agree with your comment in general, but Edge really is significantly better than IE. It supports most modern web stuff, it's much faster and the UI is pretty nice and clean. Sure, the latter is a matter of taste too but it really beats IE on all fronts.

Opinions clearly vary on whether it can compete with the likes of Chrome and Firefox, but it's not a "low feature Internet Explorer". It's a decent piece of work.
