> In that case Apple is still free to just buy a few percent of the chips they need from a different supplier,

If supplier only needed few % sales from Apple, then Apple could have just given them money for other reasons (funding etc). Thus no loss of choice for consumers. This case is simply money grab.

If those % of sales are not enough, then supplier dies. Loss of choice but now due to legal means.
I was looking for this part of the thread. I'm on Windows 10 on an i7-6600U laptop with 16GB RAM and a SSD.

FF57 spiked my cpu to 100% most of the time and Netflix was really laggy. I went back to Chrome because it only uses 10-20% CPU with regular usage.

In FF57, I was using default performance and browser settings.
Wrong, its not that volitile, its very easy to store, and its very easy to buy the physical coin...local or online and the paper version via some fund of some sort. Also easy to store for average Joe as he isn't buying kilos and instead is buying ounces.

> Coding helps enrich your computational thinking, which is powerful in making decisions.

That is backwards. Computational thinking is fundamental to learning to code, and also aids in many other aspects of both learning and performing in any path you may choose. Learning the fundamentals of computational thought is the core skill that everyone will need in the future.
Nobody "cut corners".

What do you call accessing memory before checking permissions then? AMD do the check!

Perfectly slowly too.

A simple predictor that assumes backwards branches will be taken (loops) and forward branches (most likely exceptions) will not is really all you need, if you insist.
They need to be as cheap as possible to remain competitive. This means identifying risky clients and either charging them more or worse refusing their business to make sure they are not taking on too much risk while trying to be competitive. If this were not the case then they would keep it simple and just charge a flat rate (that covers the highest risk they are willing to accept) to all customers.

Using discriminating factors that are simply correlated rather than causal is unfair as it penalises some people within a given profiled group for no good reason. This may not be due to inherent racism, but merely due to not properly understanding the statistics. Or not due to inherent racism now but because of lazy "it has always been done this way" reasoning. It may in part be due to racism, of course, as people are less likely to question results that agree with their worldview.

Identifying the correct causal factors and using the as discriminators is fair, and can be demonstrated to be better for the business too by allowing lower prices for some groups aiding competitiveness, but it can be harder work leading to the less effective and less fair option being used - saving effort now at the expense of being fair (and some potential longer-term business benefits).
Hi there - Andrew from The Coral Project's Talk platform (https://coralproject.github.io/talk/)

We've developed a Disqus importer. We just deprecated it so we can tidy it up, but it's only a day's work for us to fix. Let us know if you're seriously interested and we can prioritize getting it back up.

Problem is one part of their mission (protecting US infrastructure) often conflicts with another (foreign intelligence gathering). If you patch a Cisco edge router, both friends and enemies benefit.

Honestly the NSA should be broken up into two organisations, one geared towards defense and another offense. Or just merge the foreign intelligence gathering parts into the CIA.
It sounds like they’re going to be using the RCS standard for those communications.
Forcing sign-in to be "log in using email" wiped out +90% of spam for the ~300 forums I run.

I use auth0 now in a passwordless setup, and it requires either Google Auth, Windows (Hotmail) Auth or a one-time-token being emailed to the person (with a 15 minute expiry).

It has required that I pay for Sendgrid to ensure the email delivery... but it's worth it. I deal with virtually no spam nowadays and the biggest cure was this one thing.
The good news is a lot of it is open source and easily borrowed. So, the ecosystem will evolve/adapt faster than centrally controlled companies.
If you know your team well, it will help you keep an eye out for common mistakes they've made in the past. It may also help adjust your tone, as developers you've worked with for a long time will understand light humor or other well-intended comments that might be read as off-putting by newer devs.
I, as a taxpayer, pay the NSA to be effective in defending national interests, to act with integrity, and to submit themselves to the oversight of my representatives in Congress.

I have no expectation that they will be honest or open with me. Being closed is integral to their work.

However they damn well better submit to oversight and respect my constitutional rights as a citizen.
You often have micromanagement and abandonment at the same time. They are so busy micromanagement their people while they neglect making the decisions that they need to make. If somebody steps up, they push back. Everybody avoids moving and are just waiting until the micromanager has time.
When Siddhartha (Buddha) ran away from home, he was not yet a Buddha. This is just the beginning of his story.

It was through his journey that he discovered true Enlightenment. And after he attained enlightenment, he started to teach and share his wisdom with people. He listened to people's sufferings and guided them with open heart. He even listened to those who questioned him and his teachings. There are a few stories out there. I will find them and share the links.

-- Edit --

https://owlcation.com/humanities/Was-Buddha-a-Real-Person-Un...

He left at age 29 and didn't find enlightenment until he was 35. Afterward, he spent 45 years teaching.

He went back home twice for his family and he taught them his teachings.

I feel another place in Measure for Measure that also indicates the depth and the subtlety of Angelo's character is that his monologue in Act II Scene IV,

When I would pray and think, I think and pray
To several subjects. Heaven hath my empty words;
Whilst my invention, hearing not my tongue,
Anchors on Isabel: Heaven in my mouth,
As if I did but only chew his name;
And in my heart the strong and swelling evil
Of my conception. The state, whereon I studied
Is like a good thing, being often read,
Grown fear'd and tedious; yea, my gravity,
Wherein--let no man hear me--I take pride,
Could I with boot change for an idle plume,
Which the air beats for vain. O place, O form,
How often dost thou with thy case, thy habit,
Wrench awe from fools and tie the wiser souls
To thy false seeming! Blood, thou art blood:
Let's write good angel on the devil's horn:
'Tis not the devil's crest.

Clearly, Angelo feels a certain conflict in his heart, and he struggles hard with this cognitive dissonance, which shows that he is not utterly evil.

And there's a lot of that in Milton's Satan too. He's
undeniably colourful, but seriously, complaining to his
companions how crappy it is to reigned over while at the
same time declaring his own ambition to reign over them.

I am not that sure to what extent this reign is over them; and who those "them" are? It might not necessarily mean his fellow fallen angels but those dead souls in hell...

And also, he is having a conference with his comrades in Pandæmonium, right? In this sense, his power over his comrades -- if he is superior -- is not absolute, as at least he consults them, unlike that in heaven...

Still no word on iMessages in the Cloud.

I'm curious how the functionality of turning off the battery saving feature will work. Either a.) the phone constantly turns off and is unusuable, proving Apple did the right thing in the first place, or b.) the phone continues to work as it did when it was new, proving Apple lied.
I know they’re trying to fix some of the hate they got by giving users a ‘choice’... but I just don’t see why anyone would ever turn the throttling off.

“Sure my phone only lasts 2 hours now, but it’s fast again!”

Seems like a shoot yourself in the foot option.

Notifying people that it’s going on? Yeah that should have been there from day 1.
Lot of new questions are about basic stuff explained in the official documentations. I answered a bunch of questions yesterday about React and Babel setups: I just had to pick the answers in the first pages of the docs.
> I would assume that a competent web developer should be capable of quickly learning a framework.

I agree. And I got hired by a company who agrees, and who let me learn on the job. Not all hiring processes are as broken as one might believe solely by reading posts and discussions online. But it does take some effort to put out enough feelers to find those companies, because there are also a plethora of folks who hire for skill sets, not skill.
Sort of a catch 22 there, right? You expect integrity, but without honesty/openness, how do you hold them to it?

Bribe is such an incorrect word for this. A discount isn’t a bribe, nor is a rebate. If Tim Cook got extra money in his bank account, then that would be a bribe. This situation isn’t.
I've actually heard many people (including one Chrome developer) that they don't even use AV anymore except Windows Defender because 99% of AV break Windows/applications by using non-standard hooks and may even introduce new vulnerabilities with their kernel drivers/etc.

Honestly, if they can't even stop viruses from infiltrating closed systems like Android and iOS, I don't see how an anti-virus suite could ever win the battle against a user intentionally installing a virus.

(Of course, desktop apps are a different ballpark than web apps/websites where you're merely connecting to a website vs installing a dedicated application with filesystem access.)
Yeah, that looks similar to the one that I got. But I don't remember it having the shares outstanding listed, because I specifically remember asking around to try to figure that number out. But that was years ago and maybe my memory is bad.
Aside from opinion, the numbers from the government of Canada show that incomes were stagnant by the early 70s (which roughly corresponds with income stagnation seen in the US). This is again when unionization started to decline in the US, which could reasonably attributed to the decline of unionization. However, Canada saw strengthening unionization in the same period (peaking in the mid-80s). Based on what people claim unions accomplish, income stagnation is unexpected given how strong the unions were during that time.
Yes, that would be okay, as long as you don't make it part of the contract that "they can't buy from anyone else".

You can offer a -50% discount to customers (as long as you aren't selling below cost, which would also be illegal in the EU), and then you'd have to assume that the customer will stick with you as long as you offer that discount, or develop a good relationship, and so on.

But you can't enforce that the customer can't also buy the product at 100% of the price or whatever it is from a competitor at the same time it's buying it at -50% from you. If the customer does that, it should be their choice. You can't ban the transactions with your competitors in the deal.
I would love that. A little app, take pictures (measured) of a few objects, and play around with laying them out on your wall.

Not to piss on the OP's parade, but, while liberal, the OSM license does require you to to give proper attribution to OSM in such a way than users are likely to notice it - I don't see that here.

Would be nice to get the OP's comments on this?

Ah, I had somehow assumed that these were predominantly frontend roles.

In that case, I certainly agree the emphasis on one part of the stack feels odd.
The more languages you have the more you have to know just to know what the software knows. This makes things hard. Heck jumping from what I call back end languages like Go to Java to C# requires a mental switch if you've been doing one for a week or more. I'm using Go now, but I've got 13 years of Java experience with a Java Ring (https://images.techhive.com/images/idge/imported/article/jvw...) on my hand. When I switch back to Java I mutter the phrase, "Nope. Nope. Nope. That's Go, not Java."

You should use the right tool for the job. Python is good for AI stuff. Java is good for performance and maintainability. Go is interesting any might give Java a run for its money.

You should limit adding tools because they're cool. Do that for bow ties not code.
You don't store your plaintext passwords in a modded version of Doom with a kernel scheduler hack to ensure it mostly gets dispatched on the HyperThread core neighboring the one your browser is getting dispatched onto?

Amateur.
They can also be fun because you can make jokes based on the character you’re using.
Why should they be honest and open? Sometimes complete honesty and openness is counterproductive to a purpose or a mission. Are you always honest? With your friends and family? With your colleagues? With your employer?

If you aren't, is it because you want to do harm, or because complete honesty would actually be harmful and unnecessary for both parties?

As this is the case for individuals, it is also the case for groups of people and institutions.
Cloud Atlas stands firmly on its own, I should re-read it at some point. The movie (also a one of a kind, it staying reasonably close to the source material and being one of the most expensive independent movies ever) keeps popping up on Netflix too.
I actually love it. However for me, I like using it as a personal emoji. I don't talk, and I wish it didn't come with sound. It also wigs out pretty hard on my glasses, so I'd like to see some improvement there.

I bought the iPhoneX thinking I'd hate that feature - but after using it, it's just goofy good fun as an emoji.

You’re right, of course. I didn’t mean collectivist, at 11pm I got my anarchist terms-of-art confused.
Communication is such a nuanced thing. In our core senior group there is one guy who refuses to let us talk about anything remotely resembling an implementation-related detail if we're early in the high-level design stage, and it honestly shuts conversation down. I get his point, however at the same time a group of good engineers should be able to briefly and abstractly discuss the potential downfalls of a design decision while considering an implementation detail (say, using columnar storage to address some high-level requirement).

Then, there's folks who communicate "well" in standups, meetings, design discussions, are cogenial, etc. At the same time they might be drowning in some technical debt they've taken on and no one understands it until they're 2 weeks overdue on a deliverable.
Last summer I tried untangling the OStatus/pump.io/ActivityPub/ActivityStreams nest hoping to piece together a big picture mental image based mostly on what Wikipedia has to say, and found it mostly frustrating.

Yes, but it's not a legal requirement to shun the competitors. You can still purchase at 2x the price if you want to. That's the issue here. Qualcomm banned Apple from purchasing at any cost from competitors, essentially. It was in the deal that there would be significant consequences from purchasing from other competitors.
Yes! You're right :-)

Thank you so much for umatrix! It really has changed the way I use the internet.
Your viewpoint is both provincial and biased, and, ironically, not wrong in ways that conflict with your moral assertions.

SV has a disgusting mafia in place protecting itself and “friends”. And there’s reason to believe in widespread cooperation between major SV players and govt. All of that is most successful if people don’t find out about it.

So much power has accumulated in SV in recent years that it is trivial to turn the absolute power/corruption speech back on itself.

Did I tell you what people with high level SV connections and connections to Peter Thiel did/said to me? No? There’s other shit going on. Big groups of talent inevitably have bad actors.

Interestingly, your example is included in the dictionary the author used as a source (the Oxford dictionary, used by Google, and also Apple's Dictionary application). Notice how that screenshot has definition #1, but not definition #2 or #3? It appears the author edited that definition out of the screenshot, because it didn't fit his narrative.

Your instinct was correct, it is a terrible article, not worth the time to read... and it doesn't even mention the Google Home Max anywhere in the article. Only in the title, and never again.

Actually, come to think of it, this article was useful. It's reminded me to add The Next Web to my Block list on my Google News & on my router.
I believe in this context, "evil" means "against God" or "not according to God's will" (though how that's possible when God is defined as omnipotent, I don't understand) and so doesn't align with our own usual moral compass which defines evil as some variant of "hurting people".
> The argument made is that being a "good employee" [...] is a signal to your employer that you're willing to make personal sacrifices to be dependable

controversial statement nor lay off at first financial bump.
I am sure WinRAR has no bugs whatsoever, but would still like to see some evidence to that fact.
In contrast to "pure" currencies, I think this is actually desired behavior in the Appcoin space. It is a signal of faith in the long-term promise of a Dapp.

> Irrespective of your job, it will become important for everyone to learn how to code

It strikes me that the person who wrote that is used to associating with technical people, and might spend a little more time in the real world. I work in a company of 100 ish people, 15 are delivery drivers. 40 odd are sales assistants that customers value for their detailed product knowledge. 4 are involved in cleaning of different kinds. None of those people will ever learn to code, or need to learn to code, or frankly be capable of learning to code

You elect representatives and executives who are given security clearances and the right to great transparency and openness. When or if those elected officials are found to have abused the public trust, you punish them, their associates and their successors at the ballot box and in the court of public opinion.

It's not a great process but I don't see a better way for a democracy to have an internationally competitive intelligence apparatus. And without such an apparatus we are exposed to attacks on our democratic integrity, military effectiveness, deliberative privacy and much more.
When calculating fine why does EU considers global revenue rather than from EU ?

That's a helpful post. We do a similar thing in scuba diving: run through a checklist and then do "one final check" to make sure there's nothing obviously out of place.

Changing your mindset is another good piece of advice. When you're done coding, stop thinking like a programmer and think like a user - a bored, fed-up, malicious user who's going to have a go at breaking your software. He's not going to do the things you expect him to, he's going to try to enter ridiculous data, in the wrong order, press stuff that he shouldn't, etc. Be curious. "I wonder what happens if I do this..."

Offer to buy a beer for every bug your colleague finds in your code. Don't want to pay out? Make it hard for him to find any, and any that he does find will be well worth the cost.

AFAIK, you still need to have your devices certified with apple and you still owe them a percentage of the cost.

But you don't need to put a physical authentication chip into your devices any more.

This lowers the cost and allows for retroactive certification.
Can I give you a suggestion. When someone is using ddg with JS off, I think that dgg shouldn't "redirect to non-JS site". Instead you guys should have the same page being useable without JS using the <noscript> tag. Google and Bing both have achieved that, so it's possible.
Surely there's a middle ground? Plenty of good companies allow for fun experimentation. However, I also wouldn't say that switching to a new language or frame work that may boost long term productivity and hiring effectiveness is considered a playground
