I had signed up for Telegram on a phone, so can't say whether you can sign up w/o a phone (I think it would require SMS verification).

It doesn't need you to be logged in on any phone however. You can use just the desktop app. In fact I am on some really crowded and hyperactive Telegram groups so can't even imagine keeping it on my phone. Besides not a single one of my IRL friends use Telegram. I see 3-4 names, maybe they had signed up once.
More interestingly, I wonder how many sites, even with the best of intentions, just stop selling to EU customers instead of guarantee compliance. I know if I was in a startup with very limited funding and customer reach was not my problem, I'd just as soon not sell on the continent. Once I can absorb the risk or I need more customers that'd change of course, but while you have your head down working and maybe you have a limited beta or something, it's clear what citizens carry more baggage with their usership.
I would like to hear more about this. I was quite surprised how difficult things were when I started dabbling in Opengl and I thought that there has to be a better way. I know that there are libraries that build on top of Opengl and the like, but then always its a sacrifice of the power that you could have. It seems weird to me that it is so difficult because conceptually it seems to me that the model could be closer to the CPU/Memory model that everyone is already familiar with. You just have some RAM and some processor(s) that are going to do some computations right? Although I guess what really makes it a mess is that there needs to be a connection between what the GPU and the CPU are doing. I don't know, I was a bit surprised by how difficult it was. Perhaps I just don't understand it well enough.
Most real-life situations are not like that. The contingency assumes that your underlying process is random with a normal distribution. In everyday life, especially when working in teams or projects, processes are not of that kind. Other people are neither random, nor is their behaviour normally-distributed. The relative effectiveness of praising and scolding is unclear in such situations. So it seems unwise to transfer this anecdote to other contexts.
There’s another effect you didn’t mention. Jeopardy contestants qualify by answering clues with the same distribution of topics as the show’s clues, and most contestants have probably watched a lot of Jeopardy before competing.
How often do you think most users read the screen, especially using something other than the screenshot tool of the operating system?

As an iOS developer I run Xscope to check details of designs, I don't know, maybe once every two weeks? And I guess I've probably used Acorn's color picker outside its own window during the last year, but I'm not sure about that.

I'd imagine that most users need apps reading arbitrary pixels off their screen less often than I do. I'd appreciate a warning from the operating system when an app tries to do that.

I doubt that. Stoicism is not about the inevitability of what is now, but about the inevitability of what may happen, and about being humble with the fact that the great war you may be winning now could be lost tomorrow, despite all your greatness. It's the philosophy of leaders of their time, as Marcus Aurelius was, Seneca was, or people who had overcome great obstacles (like Epictetus, who was born a slave). Risk and change were their daily bread, and so their philosophy was very practical in dealing with that.

Medicare also seem to me to be simply shifting dollars over time. Some people may gain or lose, but on average, it's just financing my (the average person's) health care when I'm old with money from my salary when I'm young.
I use Google Hangouts from time to time, not my favourite IM app but some of the criticism in the article is inaccurate. I can definitely tell when someone is online (article says you can't), and I have been using the desktop app for a while (article says there is no desktop app).

Note: the desktop app doesn't seem to be native (I think I got it from the Chrome store) however it's definitely a desktop app in the sense that you can run it without having a browser open.
I watch a lot of University Challenge, a British quiz show for college students, and the effect is very noticeable for an American like myself. Questions about American history tend to be easy American high school material, while questions about British history are often very obscure to me.

Japan and South Korea fostered growth and development with little to no regard for democratic norms?

I mean yeah, their democracies look a bit strange to Westerners, what with Japan being governed by mostly one party and South Korea being a fairly new democracy... But what specifically do you mean?
I'm as Remain as the next person but I think extraterritoriality is a really bad idea whatever the circumstances. But it's not as if this is the first instance of extraterritorial law, and it's not like the US doesn't tend to assume its law applies everywhere too (e.g. gambling).

To me it seems to have parallels with tax law and AML. If it's not extraterritorial, a big business of tax havens and money laundering springs up. The extraterritorial GDPR rules are there to prevent "data laundering" similarly.

A vaccine to prevent dengue fever discovered by a Saint Louis University researcher in 1997 and now licensed worldwide by Sanofi Pasteur has been approved for use in Mexico. Dengvaxia® is the world's first vaccine approved to prevent dengue fever, which is a virus spread by mosquitoes primarily in tropical and sub-tropical areas.

"Dengue fever is a huge costly and debilitating health problem in virtually all developing countries. It is very painful, puts people in the hospital and takes a major toll on the health of children," said Graeme Thomas, director of the office of technology transfer at Saint Louis University.

"SLU is a leader in the field of vaccine development and we're proud to play a role in efforts to prevent human suffering and disease."

SLU is a leader in the field of vaccine development and we're proud to play a role in efforts to prevent human suffering and disease.
According to the World Health Organization, about half of the world's population is at risk of developing dengue fever, which is a growing health threat. Dengue is believed to be under-reported, with an estimated 390 million infections a year. With symptoms similar to influenza, dengue affects babies, young children and adults. A rare and severe form of dengue can be deadly, causing extensive bleeding under the skin and inside the body.

Saint Louis University holds the patent on the vaccine, which was developed in 1997 by Thomas Chambers, M.D., then an associate professor of molecular microbiology and immunology. While at SLU, Chambers studied flaviviruses, which typically are spread by mosquitoes in hot, rainy climates. He has subsequently pursued a career in private industry.

A biopharmaceutical company that became Acambis Inc. obtained rights for vaccines developed at SLU to prevent dengue, Japanese encephalitis and West Nile. Acambis later partnered with Sanofi Pasteur to conduct human clinical trials of the vaccine in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Acambis was acquired by Sanofi in 2008.

While Mexico is the first country to approve the use of the dengue vaccine, regulatory boards in other countries where dengue fever is endemic are reviewing licensing the vaccine. In a press release, Sanofi said it has produced first doses of the vaccine. When operating at full production capacity, Sanofi expects to produce 100 million vaccine doses a year.
Entire category stumpers are probably somewhat but not extremely rare, but this one is going to get more media coverage but it aligns well with the narrative of “look how bad these nerds are at sports knowledge.”
This is quite interesting.

> You might provide answers for how you feel that night, which may not be reflective of your larger perspective. [...] So that’s one of the big challenges: understanding what someone is really trying to say when they’re answering questions about their preferences.

> There could be two different interpretations for the question, and you just answered one of them. [...] Knowing this can happen, we use the algorithms to help us understand the statistics behind each question, and we’ll try to identify questions that are the most likely to be mistaken in this way so that we can remove them.

These are both issues with the question system that users have raised concerns about, and generally assume that the question-matching data is just going to be messed up by these. So, to learn that they were actually addressing these issues in code with statistics and analyses, makes the whole system seem a lot more sensible.

He also talks a lot about ethics and fairness and grassroots ideals - and with OkC it did seem like those were more than just corporate talk, they realy were a user-focused, transparent company for a long time. He seems to have left before the Match.com acquisition (I'm assuming) though, and unfortunately there have been complaints after that that the company is gradually moving away from those ideals.
It's funny how this seems to happen to chat systems over and over. Google Talk, Skype for Business, ICQ... They start out pretty good, but then the simplicity gets abandoned by what appears to be really awful committee driven product design decisions until they basically become unusable.

Maybe their inherent simplicity makes them the ultimate bike shed.
Canot say in the US, but in EU most trucks have (since I can remember) 24 V circuits, so there is anyway a long list of parts at 24 V manufactured.
WhatsApp web (or the desktop) is really frustrating at times (though that's not completely WhatsApp's fault). Half the time I want to use it, it is not connected and I have to unlock my phone and open the app and wait for some time when the WhatsApp is connected again and the desktop app is connected too. Because WhatsApp web/desktop uses the phone app as its server.

Teams is a cross between Slack and Facebook. It has channels, but also a threaded-messages structure that is just painful. Everybody in the company I work for wants to like it, but they struggle. Slack would be so much better, but then we’d lose Sharepoint and AD integration and we’d have Yet Another Silo We Have To Pay For.

The problem is that you need to own that same phone number permanently. Phone numbers are tied to exactly one SIM card, which is tied to exactly one telco in one country. Too many ties.

I'm doubtful that "Capitalist nations" exist in the sense of nations founded on an ideology called Capitalism. My impression is that "Capitalism" was originally a pejorative term created by opponents to the established order and came over time to be adopted as a reaction by some of those being criticized to mean what they wanted it to mean. So we have an ongoing struggle over the meaning of the word, and reasoning based on a pretense of shared understanding of the meaning is not productive.

It's not as though someone wrote a Capitalist manifesto that initiated the practice of Capitalism.

Mac Cocoa dev has been evolving slowly and incrementally due to the small team size and strong backwards compatibility culture. It's fallen behind as a result. But fundamentally a platform-specific API and toolset can move much faster than a standards-limited web API.

That said it's easy to overextend yourself, as Microsoft demonstrated with their API treadmill. The art of engineering is to set the right evolutionary pace.

Your question is very good, and above my pay grade. In 2013 I had lots of opinions about how ObjC was evolving too slowly, and I was floored the next year when Swift (a well-kept secret within Apple) was unveiled. Apple is full of surprises, even to its own employees.
I think you have the idea of sandbox (or at least the idea of sandbox in the context of a web browser) backwards: it means an application (webpage) running inside the sandbox cannot access resources not granted. This side channel access does not run inside a sandbox at all.
I feel completely the same.

The problem though, if you allow for user overrides, then the next TotallyNotShadyVideoPlayer will kindly ask you to add the manual override for "can't read the screen" and, if you agree, it'll steal your credentials. That is, regular users will be easy to selfpwn.

I don't think this can be solved on the software side. It's "security vs. usefulness, pick one" kind of situation. Maybe we need to tackle the human factor - make it easier to prosecute malicious code authors - but not sure if that's any more possible to implement than software that's both useful and secure.

Can you elaborate on the "annoying install experience?" I find that is completely opposite, most apps are drag and drop install (and finish their set ups on first launch, if any). Others are a very simple to click through installer. I find the installation experience to be much more .. annoying in windows sometimes. In OS X most apps are installed by dragging and dropping (well, not even required) to /Applications (usually by a folder aliased right to the right of it) and getting a "Installation Progress" in the form of how long it takes to copy data to the disk out of a compressed dmg. In Windows, most installers I run into still do the near straight run to 99%, then sit there for however long the actual installation took, or circles back 15 times.
It seems that the subsidence is because the tunnel does not reproduce the expansion-contraction characteristics of the spoil it replaces. A possible modernization is massively-dense conditions sampling along the proposed tunnel route, not just in the volume the tunnel replaces, but around it as well, possibly all the way up to the surface. Conditions I can think of off-hand are temperature, ambient moisture/humidity, drainage volume, and groundwater baseline versus historical. Set up the sampling as many years in advance as possible to establish good reference data. Then create hydraulically moveable tunnel rings that push against a static ring, to re-create the desired movement. Use machine learning to refine the model during the pre-construction sampling period, and to refine results during operational period. The sampling of the surrounding volume feeds into the machine learning datastream so the hydraulic movements can be anticipated and performed very slowly over time.
Inflation means, afaik, only that the same amount of money has lesser purchasing power than it previously had.

This is an effect that can have various causes. One of them is that the government or Central Banks printed more money. Another way this could happen is if there was an influx of income in your region. This effect is less visible in today's economy with cheap and easy shipping of products, but can still be observed in objects that are pretty much impossible to ship. The only example that comes to my mind right now is housing.

The point should be to look at the current power in society in the context of the distribution. The top 1% in power is men, but the bottom 1% in power is also men. By selectively only looking at the top 1% we disregard the context of the other 99%, harming them in the process just like when we focus on Muslim terrorists rather than the 99% of Muslims who aren't terrorists. Worse we are doing double damage to those at the bottom of society.

> In general, we don't like talking about innate qualities

"Men violence against women" - Title of a lot of writing, government reports, books, and so on from the left. We don't see "foreigners violence against Swedes" or "Muslims violence against non-believers". That would be titles from far right writing. A spade is a spade on both side when looked at from the middle.

> men have been subjugating women almost everywhere almost constantly for many centuries if not millennia, while Islam has become abnormally overrepresented in terrorism only very recently

No, yes, and no. Religion has been associated with wars and violence for centuries if not millennia. Gender roles has also existed for that long, but only very recently being describe as subjugating. History get interpreted through political leaning and rewriting history is an old political trick by both the left and right. Reading how life was a few hundred years have very little in the form of gender subjugating, unless you count taking men from their home and against their will putting them on the war front to die. Much of cultural values in historical society can be derive from two core gender roles, that of the nurture role and the support role. One exist to create the family, the other exist to supply food and defense. If we want to describe that as subjugating then lets call what it is. Both are being subjugated. Take any time in history and what we have is a lack of liberty for the 99% of the population, men or women. The 99% rarely if ever has power, control, or freedom from subjugating.

I thought the article did a good job of providing examples such as the VW group using 48V to provide 'sportscar' handling in their high end SUV offerings. Having 48V means that these things can be done.

Incidentally VW started out with 6V. Early Beetle and bus models have the joys of 6V electrics, usually replaced for 12V. The advantages are clear. And so it is with the move to 48V.

With turbocharging there is the problem of the wait, by simply using an electric motor then this problem is solved and a smaller engine can be used to deliver the same power and torque. This is not possible on 12V. But it is on 48V.

Stop-start is another area where 48V makes sense. Plus the HVAC.

Why don't Americans have kettles? Because of 110V, you need 240V to boil a kettle properly. Clearly 240V needs proper British Style plugs with convoluted earth arrangements and different wiring. So 48V is the happy compromise where there is no need for excessively regulated voltages. The 48V number is a multiple of 12V therefore four 12V batteries in series will get the desired potential difference.

Much like how we still have older USB ports for keyboards as well as the fancier ones that do power and multiple monitors, there are plans to run the two power levels in the wiring loom. All the lights on the dashboard will run at 12v for now as will the motors in the doors and seats. However, in time those will possibly become 48V too. Sportscars demand theatre with doors that open in cool ways, so imaginably there will be application here for 48V door locks. Imaginably regular VW hatchbacks will have similar 48V based door mechanisms soon with older models still using the 12V cheaper components.

Before these hatchbacks get 48V windows they will probably get the 48V ABS and the 48V power steering along with the 48V stop start.

None of this is a waste of time for companies such as Volvo and how they are engineering their platforms to take any one of many power supplies, hybrid or full electric. Volvo have no future plans for making ICE only vehicles and clearly the market is going towards this smart 48V tech whether the future is full electric or not.
Opening the Hood of a Word Processor (1984) [pdf]
Note: Indian newspapers* are pretty careless about phrases like "world's thinnest" or "world's strongest", so take that part with a grain of salt. They often just mean mind-bogglingly thin, and don't mean it as an absolute factual statement. For eg., there seems to be older news[1][2] from 2007 where European researchers created graphene sheets of single atom thickness, at 0.35 nm.

(*of course this probably also applies to other countries' media to varying degrees, I'm just most familiar with this tendency here in India.)

Edit: The actual journal paper[3] doesn't mention the exact thickness of the nanosheets, but it also mentions nanoflakes and nanograins and other forms of the material, and those seem to be measured at "~6-7 nm". And from what I can tell, the actual nanosheets vary in thickness and are not this utterly uniform sheets I had conjured up in mind.

Pretty fascinating stuff, there's apparently a 'NanoArtography' competition too [4], and this group won the People's Choice award with "The flower and the bud":

> The image[5] represents magnesium and boron based nanostructures synthesized by a bottom-up approach being developed by our research group. [...] One of the clusters resembles a full grown flower and another cluster nearby it resembles a bud in the process of growing. The clusters seem connected by a stalk like structure. This nanoflower and nanobud was imaged using a Scanning electron microscope. Image width is 0.009 mm.

Simply put a load cell in the pedal and if a certain amount of force is applied slow down regardless of position of the pedal.

If the pedal is not stuck, there is a limit to the amount of force you could put on it over a period of time.

If it is jammed, a adult could put a lot of force on it when it is not fully pressed.
