Presumably they’ve run the numbers on each of these QA failure incidents and determined that they don’t have a lasting impact on sales/customer retention/whatever metric, however unfortunate that may be for the end user.

Like many publicly traded companies these days, however, it may be that they’re slowly shooting themselves in the foot by looking through the narrow lens of their quarterly metrics and focusing on near-term shareholder value.
That reasoning completely falls on its face though. AFAIK, Stroke patients whose language areas have been destroyed are still able to perform complex tasks.

You can think visually and procedurally (imagining actions) without putting things into words. IIRC Broca's area (which is responsible for grammar) may be related to the temporal planning of non-verbal actions though, so the above may be limited to Wernike's aphasia.
Oh man, that is some serious SW raid overhead.

Now I feel like chrisseaton; I believe you, but that is insane! I don't know how I'd feel if they were checking my bag _for candy_... That might push me to stop seeing movies in theaters, honestly.
Wow! The difference in RAID between FreeBSD and the GNU Linux flavors is more than a little bit shocking on the read/write tests. I would not have expected it to be that significant.

I wonder what it will take to fix that in Linux?
For those with Nvidia GPUs, may I suggest (as per previous comments[0]) that you download the Nvidia BETA drivers[1] for your system. (Disclaimer: at your peril — and for your relevant device... This can be hard to figure-out as what your Mac says your GPU is, in my case a 750M GT, is actually classed as a GeForce GTX 680 :') -- what I've linked to)

Seems to have done a decent job at patching up some of the more serious un-usability that High Sierra caused me and my Mac.

Moving to High Sierra was the worst performance-wise update I made to my Mac. I'm so disappointed with Apple's sluggish reaction to these issues, that have been reported in high numbers[2], from months ago...

I hope such hardball tactics will set up those companies to fail at their digital transformation they are undertaking anyways.

All labor, skilled or not, local or not, deserve basic dignity and respect.

The reality sadly is some groups have to work much harder for much less and it is leveraged against not only them, but other groups too.

Seeing freelancer rates worldwide slowly creep up may be a significant of things to come. The cheaper labor is getting g more specialized and expensive.
My only issue is Chrome freezing multiple times per day. That doesn’t take the system down though.
You sure can. My local theater shows you a seating map when you buy the tickets online. It's like buying an airplane ticket!
So what? Windows had been the best selling Operating System for a great many years. It turned into a pile of turd and continued to be the best selling OS.

Modern versions of Office use stronger encryption methods. Office 2013 and 2016 by default use SHA-512 with AES-256-CBC.

Given the constraints when the schemes were first devised, 40-bit represented a reasonable tradeoff given the computing power and understanding at the time.
That's not accurate in my experience. I know about a dozen families that have multi-generational wealth maintained in large part through physical property holding and rent/leasing. They are all in cities, though; Cincinnati, Miami, NYC and LA - perhaps that's the difference?
I believe most cinemas do have rules against outside food, yes. You're right that most likely will not check, or even care if they see it, but it's possible (as cmiles74's comment shows) that there could be bag checks at some theaters.

Do you really want to risk the embarrassment of being asked to throw your sneaked in candy away? There's sort of a societal status-pressure to stop doing this sort of small rule-breaking once you reach a certain age.
> Doesn't making a variable constexpr ensure it is a compile time value

It ensures that the variable could be evaluated at compile time, where "could be evaluated at compile time" means "conforms to the rules set forth in the C++ standard". Whether or not it is computed at compile time is dependent on the compiler.
>theaters have no choice in the face of consumers wanting unrealistically cheap tickets.

It's hardly unrealistic. If theaters are wondering why they have so much trouble filling seats, they can look to this mode of thinking. Theaters (save for maybe some chains around me like MJR and Emagine) don't seem to understand how markets work. They've been raising the prices continuously and wondering why their sales have dropped, without giving much justification for those raised costs (the theaters I mentioned either typically sell cheaper than others in the case of MJR, or they have very high-end experiences in the case of Emagine).

AMC, since they've been the most vocal opponent to moviepass, are terribly guilty of this. The only reason I use their theaters is either because it's close to me (I live less than a mile away from one), or because my friends want to go to one for whatever reason. They're always terribly maintained, it looks like their staff doesn't care to clean, I can hear noise, including intelligible dialog, from other movies while watching mine, and their concession price gouging is some of the worst.

If they want to start getting people back in theaters, they need to either deliver a better experience or severely lower their prices, though probably both.
Whoa $50 would be way too much. 20 perhaps.. not sure I‘d sacrifice the full experience and awesome sound system at that price.
I wasn’t expecting such a drastic difference between FreeBSD and the linux distros. I wonder if this is a general BSD thing, or if it was FreeBSD specific (or filesystem or drivers).
I understand that SO's rules prohibit "what is the best tool for this job?" type questions.

Few people actually have the resources to pursue legal remedies and given the demographics of those affected by opioid addiction, I'm completely unsurprised.
New Parkway also screens episodes of MST3K, it's quite a fun audience.
"...I'd aggressively undercut the price"

Aren't they? For $10/mo, I can go see one movie a day, no additional cost to me. And it's not the theater chains that need convincing- it's the studios. The theaters just aren't permitted to take any sizable percentage of the ticket price.

If anything, "butts in seats" shows demand. If demand drives prices, then the studios think the prices can go up because demand is up. If MoviePass's plan is to profit from data, I personally don't have faith in their future.

The "1%" meme has generated a mass of nonsense simply because English has a common word/symbol for 1/100 but not 1/1000. It's the "1 permil" or "1 per decamil" that is the problem of wealth inequality.

And also the public and journalists inability ton distinguish annual income from accumulated wealth.
Don't be so quick with this "voting" part. It's not like people voting could

people somewhere far away.
I get these freezes as well. Even my touch bar is frozen during them.

I have not had any issues with APFS, but I usually have 100G or more free.

That said I am not going to windows even with the Linux extensions. Those just are not quite there yet.

3D isotropic wavelets, texture features, and contour interpolation in Python
I currently have 3 WeMo on/off light switches and a couple of plug in light switches.

I am planning to get some Z-wave light switches for my 3-ways (Zooz seems to make the switches that work the way I want).

1) Can you clarify this question - I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. By outlet are you referring to a junction box or an electrical outlet (plug)?

2) Wemos require hot, neutral and ground. AFAIK, most smart switches at the very least want a neutral wire.

3) Wemos don't need a gateway (wifi), but they know their status.

If I could do it all over again, I probably would have skipped Wemo and went with Zwave instead.
I think it’s obvious that brains can operate without thoughts because animals and insects do it.

I think the value-add of 'you can go to any theater' is a tough sell. If the theater that I frequent offered a subscription that was any amount less than MP I would probably switch. Why would I drive further to see a movie?
Thanks for the explantation. I wasn't aware of this (but i guess this will change when the fetch API is more widely used and vendors are implementing faster methods).
You have to consider that likely more than 1 person will be watching the movie, so based on average ticket prices they'd be taking a loss (vs. the theater) at only $20. I don't know what the price would be, but my guess would be that it would be a lot.
> Do you really want to risk the embarrassment of being asked to throw your sneaked in candy away? There's sort of a societal status-pressure to stop doing this sort of small rule-breaking once you reach a certain age.

Well I personally just buy a cup of tea and don't eat during movies anyway, but I wasn't talking about myself, rather people in general.

Their materials carefully imply that they aren't, but in my experience all theaters are pretty much covered. Even the small artsy theater ran by a local non-profit.

The family are all Democrats.

That isn't the sole reason, but if you compare the "shadowy financier" tone of many stories about right-of-center families to the stories about opioids, you'll see that the "shadowiness" component of the reporting suddenly disappears.
I'm having trouble finding a source for this (I'm pretty sure I initially read it ~12 years ago, which puts it pretty close to the current linkrot horizon), but it's been claimed that many bar exams are somehow rigged to control the supply of lawyers as well. The evidence was something like the derivative of the pass rate being inversely correlated to the derivative of the number of practicing lawyers in the jurisdiction.

Is this an argument against the idea of estate tax or the implementation of estate tax in the United States?

It reads likes the latter, but the more interesting discussion is regarding the former.
In HEP, it’s more that the bar is so damned high, and your n equals something in the billions or trillions, and oversight from the community is extreme. The confidence required for example, to make people feel generally positive about the discovery of the Higgs boson, was in the realm of billions to one. Generally there is a model, and dats needs to fit that model to what would be an insane degree of confidence in most other fields.

There is a bit more to it than just pure sigma values; it is also a matter of how closely the data fits the model overall, a lack of competing hypotheses to explain said data, and to what degree other evidence exists to support the model. Of course, if the theory being confirmed is complementary to existing physics, that also helps a lot. Having said that, 3 sigma is about when people started to get excited about the Higgs, and 5 sigma was confirmation.
He starts from an unfamiliar place, saying "there are no mental objects separate from real objects," and thinking is a process of re-experiencing these objects and rearranging them in our heads. Sounds pretty radical, but when he's done building his stack, it's all much more conventional. He doesn't mean physical objects so much as experiences, and physical experiences aren't replayed exactly in our heads but rather changed, rearranged, organized, and manipulated, and ways of organizing these experiences can be transmitted via language. So when he says, "Simply, there is no need to introduce this new entity, thought, between body and object," it is a little disingenuous because he is using words such as "experience" and "rearrangement" and "reorganization" to describe mental processes. At that point I lose track of what original point he's trying to make. I think when it comes down to it he is just making a big deal out of replacing nouns with verbs (and nouns more obviously made from verbs) to make it sound like he has a unique appreciation for the fact that what goes on in your head is dynamic rather than static.

Agreed there's some hyperbole as to the current state of things, but the ability for new entrants to pressure the old guard in an industry and in some cases put them out of business or relegate them to the margins is paramount. It's about the system and trajectory more than any point in time.

And GP is absolutely right about some of these: it's hard to imagine bigger competitors than the likes of Sears, Walmart, IBM, Microsoft, etc. who, even if they aren't literally dead, have absolutely had their mantles of increasing dominance ripped away, contrary to the doomsayers of the past. Even if GM adapts as you say, they'll be producing electric cars with modern design at competitive prices with better features than ever, precisely because they were forced to by the market. The goal isn't to undermine any company's longevity; it's to force every company to bow to customer pressure via competition. Old or new, it's a win if products get better and cheaper.

Uber and Lyft are getting more and more regulated

This is a common thread across every industry we can discuss, and to the extent that you're correct about the same players wielding power and wealth across eras and trends, lobbying and regulation play a massive role. It's fundamentally a critique of government power, not capitalism.

Same old stuff in new clothes, with the same cast of people running the show.

I'm curious: in what sense is Netflix the same people as the cable companies (or for that matter, movie studios)? They're directly competing in many ways, run by literally different people, with different employees requiring different skills, and competing in new and different markets around the world.
The briefcase held the actual, original MacGuffin and the actual, original Chekhov's gun--which was never fired in the movie. The former was the treasure that had been used as a nonspecific plot device by Sophocles, Menander, and an unbroken line of storytellers, through Shakespeare, and ending with Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas, and Quentin Tarantino. The latter had a more recent origin, but somehow ended up in Tarantino's possession without him knowing of its significance.

It is somewhat obvious that Tarantino lost the plot devices some time after production, as they reappeared in fused form 6 years later in "Dude, Where's My Car?"
Most workers' wages are substantially less than they were 20-30 years ago.
You are probably right, but I'm not sure it's rational. Given the correct pricing to compensate for that, they can still make more money that they make today. I believe I read that the average person sees 2 or 3 movies per year at the theater. Imagine how many they might purchase from home.

Were you a Linux user in the dark days of hardware fiddling?

My perception is that there are getting to be two kinds of Linux users these days:

1. People who relished in the technical challenge of maintaining a Linux machine in the olden days and would use Linux no matter what.

2. People who installed it for whatever reason in recent times on compatible hardware, and literally have no idea how it’s any different than MacOS or Windows from a difficulty perspective.

My perspective nowadays is that Linux is a cake walk... but I started with Yggdrasil, Slackware, and the BSDs in the 90s.

Hackintoshes seem like a lot of work to buy oneself into Apple serfdom. The idea that people can newly encounter Linux in 2017, and not be turned off by usability, hardware compatibility, or software availability is pretty exciting to me.

If you have a dedicated home theatre in your house with a projector, sound system, blocked windows, noiseproofing and plushy seats, and treat it just like you would going to the movies - mute phones, have the kids sit quietly (or be out of the house), you can get an experience equal or superior to most cinemas.

Yeah I noticed that it's fairly similar. We don't have release branches, and our merging is less complicated for that. Also, even hot fixes are done on a feature branch, pushed to main, then finally to master.

Maybe that means they're "cold fixes" haha.

Some theaters let you reserve seats. In my region, none do. Luckily, in my region, most theaters do "$5 Tuesday", so everybody goes on Tuesday or Friday/Saturday night. Any other day of the week, at any time, is basically empty, so it's never been a problem.
"because files are indeed "compilation units" in Ruby. If I have a running irb session where I've imported code from 20 different Ruby files, and I change the code in one of those files, I can just call load on that file again and it should fix anything up, even if that file is monkeypatching a class that's also defined in seven other files."

I should have been more clear, Ruby is not compiled. It is interpreted. Compilation units are a concept from the Java Langauge Spec. That concept does not clearly map to Ruby.

Having worked defensive infosec for almost 2 decades, the privacy-invasion-leading-to-insecure-workarounds is not my experience. (US-based, I'll grant. I'm sure my experience would be different in Germany, for example.)

As long as the inspection was transparent (which it was until the TLS 1.3 discussion started), employees mostly didn't know they were being monitored, and they didn't care even when they learned they were. Folks who got caught downloading porn or running their side-business over the work network were surprised that we were looking for that stuff, but no one felt like their privacy had been violated.
it does not work like that, it requires you to have "money" or the ability to short/long at all exchanges and then u simply buy/sell locally.
I find the claim at the outset almost laughable. That eliminating this tax would see an increase in revenue. With word that for the one family this will save them more than a billion... Yeah, not going to recup in indirect ways.

I'm not entirely against dynasties, but it does seem against original US ways. This is definitely a return to policies that can allow a landed gentry.

The best part is when the duplicate is related to your question, but the duplicate question is structured differently so you don't know how to apply its answers to your question. Sure, if you already knew the answer the duplicate answers make sense, but without that knowledge (hence why you asked in the first place) they are completely unhelpful.
I personally don't think "Google has overtaken Apple in UI and UX satisfaction and usability" in all areas. In services like Maps and a few others, yes, Google was far ahead for a long time and has maintained its lead. On smartphone UI/UX, it's highly subjective, and there's no clear winner there. On desktop OS, it's not an easy comparison since Google doesn't have an equivalent to macOS. But I do agree that the "It just works" slogan can no longer be applied to Apple, due to multiple software related annoyances and experiences that, more than a decade ago, I would've associated only with Windows.

The main reason why Apple, with billions of dollars in cash, is unable to establish itself as a leader as well as isn't doing even close to some other mediocre companies is because of its organization structure. Apple's structure doesn't allow having enough people to work on multiple things simultaneously and spread its attention. A much detailed explanation of this is on this article on Stratechery, titled "Apple's Organizational Crossroads". [1] It would do well for Apple's leadership to make changes in how it works, but so far there's not much evidence of anything like that happening on the software front.
