Not obvious. p55: “changing the iCloud password won’t invalidate existing backups.“

But you’re right, the paper doesn’t say they do encrypted iCloud backups yet. The infrastructure is there to store encrypted backup keys in the keychain and escrow them so they’re recoverable yet Apple never has access. It’s probably the same foundation for iMessages in iCloud which they are just rolling out. That lets them store your very sensitive messages in the cloud and restore them to new devices and reset your password, all without them ever having access to your keys.

See the section on keychain escrow and recovery for more detail. It’s a game changer and makes storing data in adversarial clouds feasible.
I prefer a society with car subsidies and the freedom it brings to one with the alleged externalities more compensated for where people are priced into having to settle for transit. Freedom isn't free, as they say. More investment in infrastructure for electric vehicles, like charging stations, and incentives to use them (like NJ already does with waived inspections for example) are a fine compromise.

Additionally, with such taxes on car use, I'm sure a lot of people would just go places less and thus participate in the economy less, rather than take transit. A direct comparison to another country with prohibitive gas taxes isn't perfectly predictive of what would happen here because of cultural and infrastructural differences.

So, have you ever worked at Google?

And the references are passed by value. There are two places you can find in RAM that will contain that reference, which once you penetrate through the abstractions and wrappers, will be a pointer; that second location is the reference that was passed by value. A reference is basically a pointer that the language prevents you from doing pointer arithmetic on, and in many languages such as PHP, is simply automatically dereferenced for you.

The reason why I brought up languages like Forth is that there really did used to be languages that did not actually "pass" things by value. Forth had a true pass-by-reference, in which there is no second copy of anything, neither the value, nor a pointer to the value. Now it's a dead distinction, in the sense that pass-by-value and pass-by-reference used to be distinguishing, because everything is copying something. Which is why the distinction is sort of confusing to try to apply to modern languages, and produces lots of heat but no light; it's dead, inapplicable to the modern language landscape.

The proper question to be asking is what permissions/privileges are passed by a function's parameter, whether you're allowed to modify it and have the modifications visible to the caller, whether you're not allowed to modify it at all (immutable languages, for instance), or whether there's an entire ownership system around what the passed-in value represents (Rust), not whether or not something was copied when the function call was made. Trying to answer this question in terms of "pass-by-X" doesn't help, if for no other reason than pass-by-X implies there's only two possibilities, and I outlined three classes of possibilities above, each of which can have their own further nuances. Is Rust pass-by-reference or pass-by-value? Well, the question is invalid, in either the original or the modern mutation of the meaning.
First is it a priority? What are the business goals you're trying to accomplish? Do you have the resources to hit the business goals while some are working on a rework? Pretty code doesn't make a good business.

Talk to your boss. If you feel strongly it needs to be done, explain why, and what the benefits are. You need to be able to quantify and qualify this so do your homework and sell it.

Contrived example: Hey Manager, we've broken this experience 12 times in the last year, so I'm writing unit tests for it, so we can't do it again without knowing. It will take me an extra few hours on this issue but the payoff should be worth it. I think we should do this for everything.

In the meantime, leave everything you touch better than when you opened it. Start teaching the practices you want to see.

Oh man, wait 'til ya get over to Seoul/HK/Tokyo/<insert Asian megacity>. In Seoul particularly (maybe others, I only lived here), the government has opened hundreds to thousands of public APIs (e.g. transit; bus/subway current locations, timetables, routes, etc) for public consumption and there's now a ton of different apps to serve different needs and you're free to build your own if none suit you. Even nicer is that they've centralized all of it so you can sign up and manage access to all these APIs via a single platform.

50 States, 50 Stories: Climate Change Is Already Here
Notice you say fermented legumes. There may be a place for them, but the jury is still out on that.

Low fat yogurt often contains sugar for flavoring (out of necessity due to removing both it's natural flavoring, and as a byproduct, a lot of it's nutritional value), so that's out altogether. In addition, scaremongering fat has no scientific basis, and is generally frowned upon by anyone that is actually following science-based diets. On top of that, the greeking process, which strains it to remove excess whey, also removes the remaining lactose and other compounds that tend to trigger inflammation in some people.

In other words, non-greek and/or low fat yogurt is a uniquely American fuckup of an otherwise healthy food.

As for high rep/low weight, "no". You shouldn't do it instead of low rep/height weight, but if you do decide to do it, you should do it in combination. One of the best ways to combine both is drop weight sets to maximize both time and effort in the gym.

> if DST was to go, all countries would have to drop it simultaneously, or else the resulting patchwork would be too much of a pain

There are already countless exceptions to DST and people seem to be doing fine. E.g. in Australia there are two regions in the same time zone where only one has DST, meaning they are out of sync for half the year.
The vast majority of people do have that. Whether or not they behave in an financially responsible manner is a different question altogether.
One of the earliest videos involved a blind user going to a drive through. At the very least, we can safely assume given that a Google car can't even find a parking space, that it operated on a preprogrammed route to use the drive through.

Months after Urmson was bragging about Waymo's ability to interpret hand signals, a Google engineer confirmed to a Slate reported that your cars would run a stoplight if Google's maps didn't already tell it the stoplight was there, and to look for it. And of course, that Waymo cars could not function on a road that wasn't excrutiatingly mapped to centimeter detail in advance.

While Google's marketing their upcoming launch of Waymo as a service being "fully autonomous", the car has to be remote controlled by a contractor when it gets confused.

Google likes to brag, like you did, about the "X number of miles", while intentionally ignoring real statistics that matter. (Driving the same mile over and over can be thousands of miles, but gains you really no understanding of the world of driving. Circling Mountain View isn't really as valuable as you'd believe.)

Contiguous miles without failure is a super interesting statistic for driving capability, but Google would not like to advertise that it fails and needs human help as often as one currently fills up on gas. That sort of statistic has usually showed up in the DMV reports while Google hasn't talked about it much. Hilariously, they're launching their service in Arizona where they don't have to disclose those statistics. When "no accountability" is what leads to the location choice for a product launch, you have to ask what they have to hide.

There's a huge discrepancy in the practical reality of what the technology has been capable of and what Waymo has claimed it can do. It's been so repetitively dishonest, I don't think I could ever trust the company or the cars based on their behavior alone.

So yeah... I think Google is not any less innovative than they have ever been... I mean Google literally changed the web, from search, to mail to maps to everything. They are not doing anything different today than they did 15 years ago. Just in recent years they released things like Go, Spanner, Kubernetes, etc.

If they wouldn't have such a huge portfolio of so many other products then just these 3 products alone would be proof enough of how innovative they are.

Are you referring to market orders? I don't understand this. If I place a limit order for 1 share at $20. And the order gets filled at this price; where do you think Robinhood is taking a cut? I think the strategy you mention could be possible with market orders however.

Only if you're buying at the IPO. Most of the time, you're just buying stock from another person and the company gets zilch. The service you're providing to the company is just better information about its ability to raise additional capital from selling equity.

For some cryptocurrencies, you are providing a service to the miners by adding liquidity and pricing information, but given the volume trading on crypto exchanges, there is simply not enough currency being mined for even a tiny fraction of it to be going directly to miners as a counterparty. For a currency like Ripple, that is completely pre-mined, you don't even have that.
I would never deep copy using any of those methods. Can't you just write your own recursive version? I remember plenty of examples on jsPerf (site not working at the moment) including my own that significantly outperformed JSON parse/stringify.
I'm most productive in the early morning and late evening. The mid-afternoon is my least productive time, perhaps because of lunch or because I live in a sunny area and I'd like to take advantage of the sunshine in the afternoon. I don't mind working 8 hours in a day, but I'd rather do something like the inverse of this person's schedule and work 7 to 11, both AM and PM.

1000km may be stretching things but 200-300mi over say 40 meter band(that stays active day/night) is possible with something called an NVIS antenna[1] the downside is you probably still need ~100W to make it effective which makes portable operation pretty tricky.

If the portable HF thing is something that interests you there's something called Summits on the Air which involves hauling a radio up to nearby mountain tops and try to make as many contacts as possible. Even with tech license VHF and HF CW are still something you can do. Elecraft's KX line are really common for these(I own a KX3[3]) and really incredible pieces of kit. With a radio, ~30ft wire and a tree/pole you can definitely make 800mi+ contacts.

However: The app suffers from various minor glitches. For example: Whe I installed the app I have selected "Home" and "Work" addresses, having one of my client's offices as "Work". Since then I keep getting daily notification with suggestions for riding back and forth to my "Office" although I do not commute there daily. The app does not include any option to control those notifications or disable the "Work" address. Customer support did respond quickly to my problem, but did not supply a good solution.
You are making a lot of assumptions about my current income and how much I have made historically. I did all of those things except buy my own health insurance when I was working inside at a pizza place, that means I was making less than people who deliver pizzas for a living.

No offense intended, but the vast majority of startups in tech don't go through YC batches or anything like that.

The vast majority are startups you'd never hear anything about. They're started by a small team or one person, they build something on the cheap, try to market it, fail, then try to sell it. Or a non-technical person pays a coder to build a site but then it doesn't take off or the coder bails, so the non-technical person tries to sell it because they put money in so it must have value.

I have personally done that 3 times (even got real customers on one). I can name 5 new startups that I've head about in the last month just in my mid-sized city. I can't imagine how many are already out there slowly dying that I just never heard about.
I'm wondering this too.

It wasn't about the phone it was about using fear to get American citizens to sign over more rights.
Comments by banned users get killed by software. Community members who think the comment shouldn't be killed can always vouch for a dead comment (if they have karma > 30) by clicking on its timestamp to go to its page, then clicking 'vouch' at the top. If enough users do this, the comment is unkilled.

Killed comments are visible to anyone with 'showdead' set to 'yes' in their profile. We never delete comments outright except in the rare case where the author asks us to.

* transfer the stellars there, making sure to follow the instructions about the MEMO_TEXT.

* convert the lumens into bitcoin

* transfer the bitcoin to coinbase

* sell it.

There is probably a more optimized or less expensive way to accomplish this, but this was the easiest way for me, and binance did not require a social security number or photo id like some sites wanted.
