It would be useful to quantify the scale of the 35 sites for cutting so we know if this is a fig leaf or compensation or if its scale is completely different.
I used Magic recently but I had never heard of the other three so thanks for that info! I asked them to cancel a gym membership and it took them 70 minutes. Ugh. After that happened I am hesitant to ask them to do anything else. What credit card are you using for concierge service and what kind of tasks do you use it for? I assume theres limits to the kinds of tasks that Magic could do but your concierge can't.
No. It's the republicans for the last couple decades.

Institutionally things are starting to break down because of a combination of poor design and poor implementation.

But there are so very many people who will argue that the current system is a feature not a bug.
When you are saying "Bjarne", I presume Bjarne Stroustrup of course.

Can you share a link where he mentions such thing? I have a great admiration of him and I would like to read or hear more about his personal concerns.

Thank you.

We partner with Part 121 regional airline operators that operate our flights. We give them the schedule and they operate the flights on our behalf. We'll adjust the site so we do a better job of explaining how flights are operated. Thanks for the feedback.
Snapchat is competing with Instagram, not FB. And while IG belongs to FB, I don't think most people see it that way. And the numbers for both services seem to confirm that IG is eating Snap's lunch. With limited income and stalled user growth, they risk finding themselves in a worse situation than Twitter. The latter at least doesn't have FB coming after them.
That's fair. I'm just giving honest feedback. I understand Nerv is open source and not being built by a large entity like Facebook. It's also likely a nice library. So sure, I should cut them some slack. But at the same time, there's a lot of React clones to choose from, and seeing a simple error like this right out of the gate is off putting.
Blockchain does nothing to solve a malicious publisher submitting incorrect data.

In this case, someone could be druged against their will and coerced into installing this app. In the case of other similar supply chain verification blockchains, the publisher could simply lie.

Having expected more blockchain based proof-of-record applications, I don’t think we’ve seen courts support blockchain proof-of-record and I’m looking forward to how this will play out.

I know for a fact that South Carolina has a law making a row in a SQL database a legal representation for a contract for Property and Casualty insurance. I bet there are tons of laws on the books like this. Why aren't tech types like us lobbying legislators at the state and national level to modify such laws to include such records on the blockchain?
Yes, we're partnering with part 121 regional airline operators to operate our flights.

Anything limited to a generation doesn't last long, unless everyone of the same age in subsequent generations also pick it up.

At some point the generation using Snapchat will realize that all the experiences they've been sharing have actually been going into the trash. Snapchat will then either become Instagram, or pivot, or die.
I opened a request on Intel's Community Site requesting microcode changelog documentation. Hopefully I'll get an answer.

https://communities.intel.com/message/518872#518872

Please do click the "I have the same question" button on that thread. Hopefully if it gets enough heat Intel will answer our questions.

As best I can tell at the moment these changes are necessary in order to enable the IBRS and IBPB changes that are currently being discussed on LKML. AFAIK, IBRS and IBPB mitigate against Spectre V2 performance regressions that are introduced with the retpoline changes.
I'm looking at the contributors in crystal-lang/crystal and I don't see "tbrand" there. That said, the repositories they do create seem predominantly crystal related, so they're certainly a user of it.
I made similar benchmarks recently on my iPhone 6S, running iOS iOS 11.1.2 vs 11.2.1, before and after replacing the battery:

https://twitter.com/enstyled/status/948892447765131264

TLDR: It's 11.2.1 that is throttling the older iPhones, because of the battery wear.
But the consensus is determined by people, not git. Or, to put it another way, the lack of consensus algorithm in git is a feature, as it allows people to come to an agreement (or not) independent of the VCS.
They won't remove support for HEVC/HEIF for quite some time, but they will support AV1 alongside them, why else would they join AOM at the top level (governing member) ?

This means AV1 will be the de facto next generation codec standard on the web as it will be supported by all browsers and all mobile devices, something HEVC never will.
We're in the process of finalizing arrangements with our regional airline partners to operate the flights. We'll have our first flights within the next few months.
No, it's not a snapshot of the 502 page, because I see my own IP there.

Netflix and Amazon are both moving to AV1, so while that's true today, it won't be for long.
Comments like this make me angry. Blaming Microsoft for the failure of DNT is ridiculous, because DNT was a sham from Day 1: it was nothing but an "evil bit" that advertisers pretty-promised they'd honor, with nothing whatsoever to hold them to that promise.

On a long enough time scale, promises from online advertisers are always lies. Remember when Google said they weren't going to tie anonymous browsing activity to your real identity, and then did? Remember when Facebook totally promised that they wouldn't tie WhatsApp data to Facebook data, and then did? "We'll totally obey DNT, honest" was an equally worthless promise.

And it was a promise made in bad faith too. The only reason DNT gained traction was as an attempt to "self-regulate" and avoid the (desperately needed) government regulation of the advertising industry - and there is quite a bit of history showing that self regulation is no regulation.

DNT was only ever going to last until turning it on became widespread. Don't blame Microsoft for being the kid who pointed out that the emperor had no clothes.

On an iPhone 6 - I actually gained performance from 11.2 to 11.2.2 (I neglected to run Geekbench on 11.2.1). Previously my best single-core score on iPhone 6 was 1536 (and only when battery was above 93% would I get in the 1500s), now today I got 1540 single core on only 66% battery - previously anything below about 70% battery would give me a score down in the 1200s.

They were probably designed to direct the water out of the parking lot because it's not a whole lot of fun coming out of a store after a good monsoon and having your car parked in the middle of a lake.

Yep, been there, done that...
I'm with you. Every time I venture to either place, I dread it. One time it took 1hr+ just to get out of the parking garage at Santana Row because of a popup foodtruck that had parked itself outside (https://www.facebook.com/Hellokittycafetruck/).
sadly I want to think you're wrong but in reality every last remote place will be destroyed by them. Why live in walnut creek when you could commute from yosemite?
They joined AOM as a top level (governing) member, why on earth would they do that unless they are going to support the codec on their software/hardware ?
Because people vote with their dollars
I think you're being down voted because this might sound overly elitist, but to an extent I agree. As someone who considers himself relatively knowledgeable of statistics (coming from ML background) I have a hard time taking a lot of social science research seriously, because quite frankly, I am often left frustrated at the lack of rigor of their methodologies. Sample sizes are often way too small, and even more frequently, unacceptably biased to draw significant scientific conclusions. You also have the publication-bias problem which means that studies may be accepted as "legitimate" due to p-value hacking or because enough people were studying the problem that someone was bound to get a "statistically significant results" even when there was none.
As others have mentioned here, this is akin to a sheep carrying a sign saying "please don't eat me", hoping wolves would respect it.

Furthermore, this sheep just highlighted the fact that it's a troublesome sheep, that requires special attention (i.e. if the DNT flag is in the header of the first request to my site, I know I can bust out my adblock-bypassing scripts, and start serving ads differently).

When I worked for [name of major ad-supported company redacted], I specifically asked a senior PM one day why are we ignoring the DNT flag in our products. He said "because that's how we make our money", thought for another second and added "also, everyone else ignores it".

>All major cloud providers are buying renewables for their operations. Yay?

Not yay. This is an overnight massive bump so they are going to consume from the same existing pool of renewables, forcing utilities to use more non renewables to make up for the demand difference.

Also, even when they do build out the renewable generation to make up the difference, it's still environmentally a problem due to the manufacturing of the renewable generation (solar panels, windmills, transformers, etc).

We have no surplus of renewable energy to absorb this kinda stuff so more energy usage is always bad at this point. It's just slightly less bad when they commit to paying to fund renewable.
LOL. Minimum wage laws always have unintended consequences that create more problems than benefits. The anger is driven because advocates are attempting to deny this is true. And this is just a minor consequence, stripping completely optional benefits to keep costs down is a pretty normal reaction.

Look at it this way, assume Tim Hortons thought they needed to pay $14 per hour to attract the type of help they needed. Previously if the minimum wage was $12, they could either pay $14 per hour, or add $2 an hour in benefits. If they were paying $12 + $2 in benefits, and the minimum wage goes to $14, they aren't going to raise their labor costs to $16 per hour, they don't need to in order to attract the types of employees they need.

Minimum wage benefits are also focused on those who need them the least. It causes companies to reduce hiring and jobs, and to invest more in automation. Those who lose jobs because of it are much more likely to be of color, in poverty, and single parents. Those who keep their jobs are much more likely to be middle class, more highly educated, or students still being supported by their parents.

Instead of a minimum wage, we should have government programs provide benefits to the working poor and single parents earning less than living wages. Without giving a dime to yuppie kids and yuppie spouses. That would make the job market far more robust and open, easier for everyone to find work, while doing far more to help the people we should be trying to help, all at a much lower overall cost.

True, but Netflix is one of the founding members of AV1, which is what they want to replace HEVC with.
I tried out Atom and found its "hackability" sorely lacking compared to Emacs. Which made me sad, because it's the only new-gen editor to really claim to be "hackable".

Specifically, what I'm looking for in an editor is the ability to introspect most/all of the editor's internals from the editor itself (including documentation, debugging, live modification of the editor, etc.). In Emacs, all of that is just a few keystrokes away. Atom is somewhat introspectable in that I can pop open a Chrome dev console and poke around at the DOM and the JS files, but it isn't at all as straightforward as in Emacs (e.g. given some keystroke or some function in Emacs, it's extremely trivial to jump to the source code and start modifying/debugging it). Given that these activities aren't clearly documented in Atom documentation, I can only assume that they aren't priorities for Atom and that, in fact, Atom isn't designed to be "hackable" in the sense that Emacs is "hackable".

Which is really disappointing, because a truly "hackable" editor a la Emacs, built on a web stack like Electron, would make me giddy with excitement.
"Hundreds of dollars"? Source?
Actually, pass has great support for teams. Dropping one or more GPG keys in ".gpg-id" will encrypt the passwords for the various identities. This works globally or per sub-folder.

I use dedicated subkeys for work and mobile so that I don't have to share my main key, or indeed every password with every device.

Is it possible that this benchmark has coincided with a battery that's just crossing the threshold of battery-throttling induced slowdown?

The low scores in the article are in a similar ballpark to my (slow) iphone 6 on ios 10.3.3 with a 3yr old battery - i.e. about half what they should be with a fresh battery.

That sounds similar to the "snapshot" feature Atom is using.
You really think that the many people who use Snapchat are all using it exactly the way you do?
There's nothing on a Snapchat profile really to share, as it should be. Stories are for friends, not public consumption. What content is actually needed to be seen outside of Snapchat?

Really, it's that there is a menu, but they won't show it to you, only tell you when you ask for something they won't serve.

"What would you like to eat today?"

"A bacon cheeseburger with cheddar, with lettuce, ketchup, and onions. Fries on the side."

"Sorry we don't offer fries with our burgers. What could I get you instead?"

"I see french fries at the next table!"

"Oh, you asked for fries, not french fries. Sure, we can do french fries. What would you like for your side?"

"... I want french fries."

...

It's not actually true that any input is accepted. Pretending that it is just creates frustration.
I grew up in a city southern Appalachia. Only later on when I moved to California did I realize we basically lived in a forest, even in the city. I really miss it, especially the thick mass of sounds... cicadas, birds, frogs. If you stop to listen, you realize there’s just this constant background noise. The only downside is trees fall on your house.
At least you have some proof of consent instead of just he said/she said.
There has to be some limit. I don't think it's reasonable to expect Californians to rank every competitor for 53 seats.
What about using dedicated hardware and not running the patches? At attacker has to run malicious code on your server to exploit the vulns anyhow, right?
No, but potential for bandwidth caps with fees for going in light of the removal of network neutrality legislation might tip the balance in the favor of the codec that looks better at a lower bitrate.
Seems like a clickbait title to me.

You seem to be making several different points here, so lets unpack your claims.

>Voter ID laws themselves were not declared unconstitutional, the extra actions by the Republicans were.

Wrong, North Carolina's Voter ID laws were declared unconstitutional as they were used to “target African-Americans with almost surgical precision.”[0]

>I see no effort from Democrats to offer any option on how to secure our elections,

Are you saying the Secure Elections Act[1] doesn't have Democratic sponsors?

[1]https://www.lawfareblog.com/assessing-bipartisan-secure-elec...

>which is especially damning considering they've spent the whole last year falsely claiming that they were "hacked".

Democrats were 'hacked', unless you are claiming that John Podesta, Colin Powell, and the DNC didn't have email accounts that were broken into. I think your strawman claim is that democrats are maintaining that vote counts were altered, which again is a strawman - no one serious is actually making that claim, it would seem you're trying to claim a fringe view as a mainstream (strawmanning).

>Active election fraud is almost exclusively in the favor of the Democratic party.

That's the typical claim, yes. Your comment is interesting though, since you seem to want to limit the discussion to 'active voter fraud', as opposed to methods that indirectly lead to unfair elections - like voting laws designed to disenfranchise minorities with 'surgical precision'. If we expanded the scope of the discussion, we'd see you're arguments conveniently leave out those methods that Republicans have been using for the past 30+ years.

>I can't remember the last time someone on the right was arrested for fraudulently filling out registrations forms, or when >100% of the registered voters in a district voted for the Republican candidate, as happened as recently as the 2016 presidential election in Detroit in the favor of Clinton.

You mean those precincts where workers miscounted voters? Didn't the Republican Secretary of State say they were errors, and in any case didn't affect the outcome in the state? Seems like you're fishing.

>The problem isn't voter ID. It's two sides using it as a way to unfairly benefit their interests. One side pre-emptively and the other actively during the vote. Both are wrong, but Voter ID itself isn't.

It seems like you're closing your argument with 'both sides', and in any case 'both sides' aren't having their voter id laws thrown out in court because they are explicitly being used to drive disenfranchisement.

the latest iOS version as of today is 11.2.2

I don't think 11.2.5 exists
That's a common misconception. Plane rental is charged by the time the magnetos are energized which in turn is measured by the Hobbs meter. Having said that, many places often have a minimum number of hours per day to prevent someone taking a plane all weekend for two billable hours.

Flying as a hobby is a lot like boating - the happiest day of your life is when you sell your boat/plane. The second happiest day is when you buy it. It can be woefully expensive because much like a house it's easy to do just one more thing / buy just one more gadget and think well if I just spent a little bit more I could have Y instead of X.

I wouldn't discourage you against taking a discovery flight but I'm saying this in the interest of full disclosure. Back when I learned to fly there was a running joke about the $100 hamburger because unless you had specific goals for your license that's all it was good for - a quick jaunt to the next town over to keep current and have some grub. Considering rental prices these days I guess that's more like a $300 hamburger.

If you learn to fly, you'll pay a rate based on the type of airplane and whether aviation gas is built into the price. After a very quick Google looks like in California prices start at $130+/hr. You need 35-40 hours* just to get the first of your licenses which will let you fly a small plane in good weather. Realistically once you have a ticket any place renting a plane will want you teach you how to fly the model they're renting you, so tack on a few hours more to get signed off in the plane you want.

Once you rack up enough club membership dues or hours in a rented plane you'll start thinking it would just be easier to own. That's when things get really interesting because you have to decide if this is a hobby or a serious hobby.

*When I got my PP-ASEL, you had two choices - a rigorous, structured 35 hour course or a looser 40 hour minimum course. That's 40 hours of flight time and instruction, not total hours in a classroom. Considering you're a hacker news poster I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you have the disposable income, education and predisposition to dedicate a couple of weeks to doing nothing but learning to fly. If you can manage that I recommend the 35 hour course: it's intensive but the cheapest option because you won't be paying by the hour to train and retrain skills that get rusty by only flying once or twice a week. Flying is very much a mechanical skill and it has to become second nature before you can learn to multitask and take care of all the other things you need to do, otherwise you're perpetually "behind the airplane."

Anyway again if you decide to seriously pursue it I'd say try a discovery flight first and then dedicate a chunk of time to knock it out. It is the fastest way to get it done, which means it's the cheapest way to get it done.
