I use a messaging service called Wire that does E2E, cross device messaging history by default (up to 6 devices), using very friendly, familiar UX - you only need to sign in on your device.

It might have been an intentional tradeoff when Telegram came out, but it's not any more. It's not a great defense for the fact that you chat history exists in plain text on Telegram servers.

Guess what's going to break first in all bluetooth headphones, potentially much much much sooner than headphone jack ever breaks for people?

The microscopic lithium battery crammed into the case - non replacable, usually in difficult environment and if it fails you have to buy new headphones. This is far far worse choice for consumers than normal cable-based headphones.
Working okay now, cert seems valid to me.
> The “auto preview” is so unpleasant that I’ve essentially stopped using Netflix entirely.

If you find a lower powered device such as the previous generation of Amazon Fire TV, it does not auto-preview or auto-run trailers at the top of the screen - instead you just get a static image of the show.

Now if only I could get it to do that on my PS4 :(
In reality those constraints don't have any humanly discernable impact on the quality. Plus the part about the lightning protocol makes no sense whatsoever.

Here's an idea: Try blind testing 10 songs or so and see if you can figure out which one is played from the adapter and which one isn't. I bet you won't hear the difference.
You just know this will probably only end in one way. A simple slip and we'll no doubt see the news story. Yes sensational vertigo inducing shots but just mad.

A sub or filter for each of the arxiv subcategories would make sense and would be easy to implement for papers submitted from the arxiv.

The term “article” used to refer to a piece published in a newspaper or periodical that went through a thorough drafting, editing and review process before publish.

Nowadays anyone can post an article on the internet. That’s great. But because of this, the definition of “article” has become basically meaningless. An article could be entirely fact based, full of falsehoods, or misrepresent facts by mixing them with opinions. There really should be a distinction between different levels of reporting. Most of the problems cropping up these past two years can be traced to the fact that people put the same credibility in a piece by some random person on the internet as they do in one by a career journalist.
Funny thing is NRIs, who don't have to enroll, are writing opinions to defend this.
Will it be cheaper?

As someone who has sold a few items in the £300-700 range over the last few years (car audio equipment and graphics cards, mostly), I've been surprised and annoyed at all the fees involved. Paypal takes a 4-5% cut, then a couple of weeks later ebay will mail you asking for their 10% too. And then are listing fees etc.

Unless there are special promotions on it feels like a real gouge.
As an occasional Ebay seller this looks like good news, the fees were excessive for the poor service provided.

87 out of 90 mice cured after the first treatment... very impressive. Hope this works as well for humans.
It's both. It's a treatment, not a prophylaxis, and it stimulates the immune system to attack the target, and so is a vaccine.
Is Paypal accepted in those cases?
Neither is voluntary in my example, unless "never going outside in a populated place" is a reasonable option. Anyway, I'm not really saying daredevilism is, or isn't, ok, just that comments saying it's a terrible risk are usually somewhat irrational, or at least inconsistent.

I've thought for a while now that while this is nice it's much better for me to have tabs be swipe rather than forward or back (or search). I've lost count of the times when I need to be able to switch between two information sources.

This isn't that though - I'm not sure how interesting is is being able to access every result in a search - I'm much more likely to want to flick between Stack overflow and Jsfiddle, or my bank and the tax man's account details.

I've passively followed this field as a layman observer for the past several years. I'd be interested in getting a lot more information on this work.

Generally I view these press releases with a skeptical eye, as the researchers have a need to "talk up" their work in order to keep the funding coming in.

On the other hand, Irving Weissman and the labs at Stanford are well respected and not known for spurious claims - often though, the problem with these therapies isn't so much potency as it is persistence, with recurrences being relatively common longer term (and many therapies simply don't translate from mice to humans well).

I'd be interested in having someone with in-depth knowledge of this field explain how the OX40 receptor work here differs from the CD47 work also being carried out at Stanford (besides being a different target protein), and existing CAR T therapies being tested elsewhere - although certainly this seems very encouraging in any case.

I changed it now. But wow, that was quite the reaction. Your interpretation is correct and at least in my cultural circle, quotes around nouns serve as a way to express the lacking quality of the thing. Ie. this is a rant pretending to be a news piece. But that's just my opinion. Equally IMO, the actual source is more important than an opinion on the source.
You've got a point, but statistically speaking this single guy is nothing in comparision with the actual real risks other people's acts put you in every single day. By getting in their car, on their bike, crossing you on stairs, flying planes above you, lighting candles in houses around you, ...

And I'm not sure if your 'but those are accidental' argument makes sense. If the guy falls or drops something it will obviously be an accident as well. Is there really a difference between what he does and me getting on my bike and riding in the presence of pedestrians? I.e. if I really wanted to I could also walk, which would reduce the risk towards others. Should I stop riding my bike for that?

Venmo is US-only and bitcoin is a usability disaster area with either unpredictably slow transactions or unpredictably high fees.

Paypal solved the "small merchant" problem of getting set up to receive money for selling goods and services on the internet. There are a lot of downsides to the seller, but those are generally because the question of where the default cost of fraud should be borne has ended up there.

(Bitcoin of course pushes all responsibility for fraud onto the buyer, and I don't know how Venmo handles it)

Can you point to some of the things in this article which are "falsehoods, or misrepresent facts"?

Some of the worst and most inaccurate articles I've ever seen have been written by career journalists. (Admittedly I live in the UK where the majority of newspapers are on a par with Infowars for honesty and fact checking. Maybe you live somewhere where professional journalism is more respectable).
Kdenlive definitely has proxy editing.
For which part?

Have you missed the whole “fake news” fiasco? People will upvote and share any article that reinforces their existing beliefs and world view. Rather than approaching articles with a healthy skepticism and critical thinking, many people are consuming content based on what “team” the author seems to be advocating for. Instead of asking questions like, “what is the author’s agenda?” or “does this author have a track record of reliability?”, people are asking “does this author believe the same things I do?” If the answer to that is “yes,” then not even a follow-up article from a Pulitzer Prize winner will be sufficient to discredit it for many people.
The article is about people literally trying to get away with murder. The last two sentences are references to well-documented cases of police officers killing non-dangerous citizens. There's no reason to be polite about this.
The most powerful feature for me at the moment is "On This Day" - highlighting to me how my engagement there has changed, and how it was (not to sound too old) better in the old days.

Luckily I'm quite "friend light" on there, but most of my social interaction has moved to WhatsApp (including groups for nights out/sharing photos, organising, and engaging with different people - all of the things I used FB for). Guessing one of the main reasons they bought them.
I thought you were inflating numbers to make a point here. Now, I'm shocked -- I just did a fee calculation for a $500 sale with $15 shipping cost:

eBay fee: $51.5
PayPal fee: $15.24
Total: $66.74

That is too much IMO. I don't sell anything on eBay, but I didn't know it was that high.
In addition, PayPal owns Braintree, which is direct Stripe competitor.
This is one of the major reason sites like craigslist keep holding out and growing strong despite ebay. Eg in france "leboncoin" has become one of the mainstay, it's free and has no fees, they make money by selling listing "bonuses" (get at the top, etc ...).

If you're selling a 100e item every couple of months, ebay fees and overall costs look ridiculous. I guess that's also why ebay turned more and more toward commercial sellers, but by doing so they also took that weird spot being neither a good b2c store nor a good c2c place, at least in my mind.

Still, they are very well ranked for traffic share in France (they're at 17th, leboncoin at 7th, amazon at 6th).

Does anyone else get actually sweat palms just from looking at the photos? Happens to my feet as well (sandals), though not quite as bad. It's not an immediate reaction but if I take a few seconds to focus on it then it really happens -- especially so when viewing the photo of him looking down at his feet from the top of a spire.

The photos are absolutely breathtaking though, and I'm only half-way through the article, but I had to take a second to ask this question -- it's something I've been curious about before as well. =)

From personal (anecdotal) experience, after videos of the person from huckmagazine went viral - Shangai Tower, Hong Kong - a lot of Chinese started to do the same, plainly risking their lives to be cool.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, maybe that it's all awesome until someone dies.

Yes, but I was responding to the OP that claimed we know how to cure cancer in mice, when we have never tried. I suspect that we are actually a lot better at curing real cancer in people than in mice.
But that does not prevent them from entering a car ride with their own babies. So, yes, people know that roads are dangerous. But no one ever gives a second thought when entering a car ride, even with their own kids, even when they know nothing about the skill/ability of the driver.

Not to mention that you are literally placing the life of you and your fellow riders in the hands of every driver in the incoming traffic...I mean, think about that chance, where 1 in a 1000+ drivers you encounter is doing either one of these..

1. Texting and driving
2. Is drunk
3. Just having a very bad day..

Tell me, what is the justification for taking your family on a joy ride on a highway..

Truth is, the capitalistic society at large encourages vehicle use. That thousands of lives are lost in accidents every year is mentioned, but not highlighted. There are things that warn you about the dangers of smoking. But there are no such thing that prompts you to ask the question, "Is this ride really necessary?" when you are getting into a car.

A lot of things that we do can be attributed to just this selective shunning of society.
HEVC and the No Good Month of January
20 Most Peaceful Countries in the World 2017
Writing this from a squeaky recliner set beside my wife’s bed in the oncology department of a local research hospital.

Three weeks ago she had a radical hysterectomy and partial lymphadenectomy to treat stage IIIc ovarian cancer, and we’re back to try to aid her in her recovery to prepare for chemotherapy. Chemo should start next week, but we are hoping to also participate in a clinical trial for atezolizumab. This is a drug that essentially blocks the cancer cell’s immunosuppressive mechanism (expression of PD-L1) and allows the body’s natural immune response to do work on the disease.

Suddenly inspired to learn more of the nitty gritty around how cancer and the associated therapies work, I’m shocked at how sophisticated the battle is. At least in this case, the unregulated reproduction of cells is just the beginning, and my lay mind can’t grasp how simple mutation is responsible for it. If someone told me cancer was sentient with a will to thrive, I’m now much less inclined to laugh them off.

Therapies that arm our own immune syatem in the fight against this monster really seem like the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.

I guess it's easy to excuse being an asshole by calling it directness, but it's really not the same thing. It's just a cheap cop-out, like how anti-vaxers would suppose themselves "freethinkers".

I live in a culture where being direct is somewhat frowned upon. Not only "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything" but sometimes "if you don't have anything nice to say, make something up". People avoid confronting each other with what they think and want to the point where they'll express the exact opposite, at best adding subtle, passive-aggressive hints as to what they really mean and using irony to avoid responsibility. I guess the burden of confronting people is understood as higher than the burden of constantly having to second guess what at surface seems sincere, to a greater degree than in other, more "direct" cultures.

This can be very excluding to people who didn't grow up here. People that travel here briefly will probably get the impression that we are very nice and welcoming, but if you stay here for long you'll probably find the occasional direct asshole refreshingly simple to dismiss as just that.

That's not to say that being direct is inherently better than being indirect. Particularly the interpretation of "direct" that boils down to "I'll say whatever I want the moment I think of it even though I know that no one wants to hear it". But it's a misinterpretation, really. If I am a considerate person, being direct will reflect that. Before I comment on your shoes I will consider that you probably like them yourself and that it's not very important to me to express that I don't. If you asked me what I thought of them and I didn't tell you what I think, I would consider that rude.

See the referenced quote that started this sub thread for example:

> It is not just Baltimore cops. It is cops. They will shoot you in the face in front of your infant daughter. They will choke you to sleep for selling cigarettes. They will shoot you in the back for walking away.

This is drawing a false equivalence by assuming the actions of a subgroup represent the group as a whole. It’s no different than citing a few brutal murders from black people and then concluding with “this is black people. They will murder your children...”

No editor would ever allow a line like that to make it to publication. It’s needlessly provocative language that reveals the author’s bias and reduces the credibility of what might otherwise be a decent piece of writing.
Not sweaty palms but a kind of "URRHGURHGURHG" in my legs.

This isn't a problem with cops, or blacks, or whites, or anything like that. This is a problem with the USA. In some countries the entire police force of the country combined uses fewer bullets per year than the average police officer in the States. The homicide rates can be 40 times smaller in European countries than there. There's just something fundamentally wrong with that country and it would be a mistake to attribute it to something simple like race relations.
