Have you tried smoking some mushrooms and using them as a smoked base? I’ve had smoked portobellos and the flavor profile was pleasingly meaty. You can also dry mushrooms and make them into a powder too add an almost msg-esque kick to food. I like to get some extra firm tofu, lightly salt it and put it on a rack with some paper toweling and a plate on top for a pan hour or to to drain and get even more firm. Then poach in oil at a lower temp. While it’s still hot, dredge in seasoned panko that you add mushroom powder to, and fry at high temp to crisp it up.

It’s awesome!
because legacy tech wants to be amortised over long time periods. If you start implementing things later you can pick the best tech. US banking was among the first to become digital and thus still has to maintain technical choices of the past
Rifle grip would be nice. I’m certainly steadier with a rifle than a camera. So much for not getting killed by the police though.

Try mounting a handle to your tripod mount once or twice. I think you’ll be surprised how well it works. (Use a remote trigger in your left hand).
> From experience, a signature in the checkout line usually takes about 5-10 seconds. Removing it may seem like a small negligible change for users, but for retailers, it most likely adds up.

Your right, can we also remove that stupid bag tax in SF. It easily takes 20 - 30 seconds per transaction.

"Do you want a bag?"

"Ugh, yeah I do"

"Alright that's 50 cents"

"wait, could I get three bags, not two - I don't want my bag to rip"

"Sure, we can do that, 75 cents"

Every. single. time.
We didn't lose the argument. We didn't even forfeit. What GWB et al did was much, much worse.

We said human rights didn't matter.

Now that might makes right is our nation's policy, it appears that l/3rd of the voters are just fine with that.
Now if we can just get a default encrypted email protocol....

That's far from true, large aircraft engines are vastly more efficient than automotive engines. Small aircraft are such a tiny market they effectively get zero R&D.

Interestingly hybrid cars could be significantly improved fuel efficiency using turbine engines though at increased costs. Plug in hybrids may actually see the adoption due to lower weight and lower useage making those tradeoffs less meaningful.
So you're boldly predicting that you can't even build a short-range electric plane. Which is what everyone's trying to do.

Your criticism is similar to what many people said about electric cars and electric trucks. Well, surprise, commercial short-range cars and trucks became viable before longer-range cars and trucks.
Also you'd have to control for major. MIT produces a lot of people working in technical fields with a higher average income. Cal State awards a broader range of degrees.
Why are American unions singled out to be maligned? French unions will kidnap their boss if negotiations breakdown. American strikers have been fired upon by the local police.

I get it, you’ve driven a poorly made American car once and it your blaming the union workers who built it. Not the factory managers, not the engineers who design with poor tolerances, not the accountants who choose cheap, poor material.

I’ve met unionized school teachers who get fired in June and rehired in August. Why? So the schoolboard won’t have to pay mandatory cost of living increases that the union negotiated for. Better to pay teachers less every year.
I am also an Android Developer. I bought an Alienware 15 for $1500 USD. (i7-7700HQ + GTX 1060)

Pros:

- It's crazy fast.

- It's built like a tank. Amazing build quality.

- Zero hardware issues of any kind.

- Great cooling. No thermal throttling, even when max-ing the entire machine out for over an hour.

- Super fluid response. (G-SYNC)

- Tons of IO and ports.

- Lots of upgrade potential. (Spare PCI-e and SATA drive slots, replaceable ram)

- Zero issues with the screen hinge.

Cons:

- It looks like a teenagers toy. (It isn't. But it sure looks like one, with LED rim lighting and such).

- It's heavy.

- The battery life is bad (~2 hours)

I tried the thin-and-light notebooks previously (15W i7-7500u stuff, like the XPS 13 and the Blade Stealth). The battery life was way better on these. But for Android work, I haven't been happy with them. They just aren't fast enough, and even from a cold boot, a single compile would send them straight up to like 95c and thermal throttle.

I also looked at some "business" laptops with similar specs (45W CPU + dedicated graphics), like an HP EliteBook and the like. They seemed fine, but all seemed to charge an extra $500 or so, just to remove the ugly gamer aesthetic. I opted to buy the gaming machine, and just take a tablet to meetings.
If a PIN were required for credit transactions I bet fraud from cloned / stolen cards would drop to about zero.
I may be totally wrong, but I believe that the core of the problem is that a lot of infrastructure here is funded by local and regional governments. And they simply don't have the massive funds and resources of a Federal government, which leads to always have to raise funds for a project through a measure and then having to cut corners. Many other nations fund infrastructure projects centrally and that leads to more efficiency.
This seems like something Square should be easily able to enable.
I'm surprised that in the history of Mac OS X (including the days of Rhapsody and Mac OS X Server 1.0), nobody wrote a Rosetta-style compatibility layer for running NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP applications on Mac OS X, given that Cocoa is a modern version of the OpenStep API and Mac OS X's Mach-O binary format is based on the binary format used in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP.

Now, I don't know if anyone would be interested in running 25-30 year old software on High Sierra (though it would be cool to experience native FrameMaker and WordPerfect), but a compatibility layer may have been really useful back in 2001 or 2002 when there was little native software for Mac OS X at the time. This would have given the Lighthouse Design suite of productivity tools some extra time; it's a shame they were never open sourced by Sun.
It really isn't though. What happened after this incident has no bearing on what happened before the incident.

Does his status provide a motive for a false accusation? Sure, but that is different from evidence.
I think it is because the solutions don’t exist yet.

Like before the Telephone consumers “preferred” to visit each other. The Gentleman Caller.
A variant of the 'single non-root user' problem on Unix systems.

A non-root user (hopefully) can't root the system or rm -rf /root.

But everything interesting is stored in that user's home folder with implicit RW permissions anyway.

On Android apps just request everything. I imagine (without explicit knowledge) that an app given permissions could rewrite, erase, or pull down over the network contacts / photos / etc in the background.
I'm already running Firefox Developer Edition, so I switched.

It turns out that a signature on a bank check means nothing. Neither does the payer name on the check. Not the amount in cursive. Nor does the check paper.

The only things that are checked are the digits of the amount, and the account number.

The rest of the check can be complete garbage, and the check will go through and the bank will pay it. Then the banks will blame you, the account holder.

I learned this the hard way.
I’ve been there. What you’re contemplating is a permanent solution to a temporary and fixable problem. Change jobs. Optimize for having a life rather than making the most money. Cultivate personal relationships with people you like. Make an effort to live a fuller life.
Washington state gets 90 or so percent of its electricity from hydro. It isn’t that unusual, there are already a few hydro states in the world besides Norway, and one or two thermal states as well.
Actually, it's the other way around. The credit card company, and by extension the merchant, have to prove that's your scribble.

Here's one way to think about it. If it was the way you suggest then all an identity theif would have to do is to draw something on the dotted line and all of a sudden you're in a position where you have to prove your innocence.

Burning coolant generally signals a worse problem that burning oil.

A cracked head gasket is a bad thing to have, it get a lot worse quite quickly.

Burning oil is fairly normal for an older car, it generally means your piston rings are getting a bit worn, perfectly normal for a 20+ year old car. The solution is generally to use a heavier oil.
It's especially a mystery because even developments in payments from the US (eg Apple Pay) seem more widely adopted where I am (Aus) than in the US.

Anyone with some insight as to why want to chip in?
Too late. This is just an expansion of the concept of credit scores which people already find offensive. I agree with you though.

For example, in some states, you can be denied a job based on your credit score.

You know you could uh, stop using it. That goes for everyone else too.
Nope, too easy to argue you signed a bunch of things you did not see. I want each page initialed and important disclaimers signed at the location they appear. Will make it much easier for me in court. Much harder for you.

I would argue that being able to find anyone is a bug, not a feature.

Bill Gates doesn’t let people find him on FB by his name. Why should anyone else?

The real names policy is a consequence of this thinking. But why should people put that info out there for everyone and the NSA to find out?

And what’s wrong in telling the truth to the police? Sounds great to me. Also, see how signal responds to such requests.

Doesn't a drive thru also hand you a disposable bag filled with a bunch of other stuff that's about to become trash- napkins, wrappers, straws, etc...? Just toss it in there dude, try not to let it bother you.
That's a very misleading statistic, many of these people might have lived with the best possible care but would have still died without treatment. Heathy people rarely seek major surgery for example.
This already exists. If EMV specified an X.509 certificate instead of a proprietary one, then we could be doing card-present transactions over the Internet right now thanks to TLS client certificates.

Maybe we should say "metro system" then, as NYC's first el train was 36 years prior to its first subway.

This table has the subway at the world's ninth oldest, which is definitely still one of the oldest considering there's hundreds now: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-world-s-oldest-metro...

Is it impossible to develop 2 things at the same time? In fact, both are under development.
As someone who currently is on a train to Osaka from Tokyo & who has lived near NYC, one thing I can say is while Tokyo’s system is well run, the rush hour crunch is real - basically everyone is nut to butt on the train. Sometimes you can’t even get on the train and have to wait for the next one.
after reading through a majority of the comments here, there are several camps: lenovo t4xx/t5xx/x1 carbon, dell xps/precision, mbp, razor edge, and 1 mention of hp’s envy.

these are all worthy suggestions, but for me, i develop golang backend applications along with web and mobile frontends, for ios development i have no choice, but mac. i am loathe to learn ximiran (i think this runs on windows and maybe linux, but why even bother with this ide ). but running on mac is not a bad thing, the driver and hardware support is great, i spend most of my time tinkering with my development projects as opposed to drivers, kernels, and system configuration, this is a real win for me.

i always have this philosophy of developing in the same environment as production, at least from the perspective of operating system, so that means ubuntu linux. i have no problem running ubuntu on fusion or virtualbox (free), usually i give them 1g ram and sometimes i have multiple vm’s running at the same time. i have dual boot for win10, but i hardly use windows.

if i develop on mac, typically i use visual code, xcode. i bever use homebrew, that’s just too hacky, i prefer using a linux vm directly.

in terms of hw, i have both the mb (i3/8g/512g ssd), and because i thought the i3 was inferior, i also purchased the mbp 13 (i7/16g/1t ssd), but i found that the i3 could compile golang programs and xcode swift relatively at the same speed. so for the affordability of the mb, i get portability and pretty good perf.

memory and upgradability are issues with all mac laptops, but i think 8g is tolerable. ideally 32g ram would be best, but at that range, power and portability become a tradeoff and at that point, you should seriously be asking yourself why you wouldnt just consider a desktop/workstation/server and go for say 256g memory.

the mb could be had for about 1000-1500 usd, the build is good, i dont have the same ossues with keyboards that others have mentioned because i mostly stay plugged into a large monitor with kb and mouse, there sre rare occassions where i’m truly remote where a monitor is not accessible, but that just means i’m doing some light stuff like ppt, some web dev, or what not.

the macbook is light, good enough for most dev, and probably fits in your price range. get virtualbox and install linux for coding, use mac for everything else, web browsing, watching movies, social apps, photos, accessing all those neat devices without fussing over drivers.

you probably would compare how uch bang for the buck you’d get from a thinkpad versus mb, but mb experience is much greater, i stopped using windows since mac os x first came out, linux has never really been a desktop option because it’s been too much effort, perhaps it’s a lot better now, but running linux as the main os is nerve racking for a laptop, i much prefer a vm, you can run xorg and get full gui experience as well, but typically i use visual code and access my code on linux vm remotely, so my linux vm’s are usually server versions.
Just the library. Oracle said Google reimplementing Java API is an infringement of their IP because function prototypes should be regarded as protected properties as well.
The merchant can pull up the cctv. A signature becomes more damning if a neutral third party witnessed you signing the document.

Batteries will never get there, even in four decades. There's no known battery chemistry, even in theory, that even comes close. Fuel cells would have to be the power source, though fuel cells are like fusion in that they're always a few decades out.

Frankly if the real goal is having aircraft flying on renewable power, I'd put my money on using that clean energy at sea level to synthesize fuel to burn at altitude. Aviation just isn't a meaningful application of electric motors IMHO.
I think the policy is working as designed.

The grating, low-grade, annoying, time-wasting inconvenience is supposed to continue to irritate the purchaser until they decide to bring their own bags.
Curious and also from Canada. Are you considering moving to Europe to find better work opportunities? Why is that so when Canada offers a pretty decent career path in tech?
Who the fuck still signs. I haven’t seen that in like 15+ years
Not in Manhattan though, and definitely not along my commute. Motorcycles are about as slow as the cars. There isn't room for a full motorcycle to filter through the narrow space between the row of parked cars and the line of slow-moving traffic. Hell, sometimes there's barely room to slip through on a bicycle. And it's flat out illegal for motorcyclists to ride in the bike lane.

But yeah, this is more of a special case than generally applicable to most places. On your typical suburban commute you can definitely save time by filtering between rows of parked cars at lights. That just doesn't work here very well.
We have PayWave in Singapore where you can just swipe your credit card for amounts under 100$, but most of the time you have to wait pretty long for the approval to go through, it feels a bit like the time benefit is eaten up by that. Only very few merchants have fast lines, but then it’s really fun!
Around Washington state they ask you at the end how many bags you got.

Makes a lot more sense. :)

I have also seen stores that put a barcode on the bag and the bag gets scanned just like any other item. That, IMHO, is the best way to go.
There’s something missing from this article.

When you sign a receipt, you’re not just providing a sample of your signature for comparison against the one on the card. You are signing a document, usually saying that ‘I agree to comply with the terms of the cardholder agreement’

If this is no longer necessary, the card issuers must have determined that they have other legal agreements which cover purchases, and that the signature on each transaction is not necessary.

Also missing is a discussion of why PINs are not seen by the banks as an obvious next step.
Xi suffered during the "Cultural Revolution," so he must honestly believe this system won't progress to the same ugly state; but how that sort of mission creep could be prevented over decades hasn't been mentioned (to my knowledge) and may never even have been discussed. Perhaps Xi sees the period of the Cultural Revolution as a time when there was an absence of sufficient bureaucracy, and is therefore predisposed to view red tape (pardon the pun), control and rigidly-defined rule systems quite favorably, therefore. To him, highly-defined systems of control may seem to be the opposite of oppression since they eliminate anarchy (of the kind he experienced back then.)

But rules systems can end up being highly arbitrary too, of course, especially over time. A sufficiently convoluted bureaucratic system bluntly or sloppily implemented can be anarchic (random) in its effects. Witness the Canadian policy of refusing to allow babies to board airplanes if they have the same name as someone on the "no fly list," since the rules don't make an explicit exception for babies.
The years before I developed Ankylosis Spondylitis I slept 8-10 hours a night, walked everywhere (I can't drive), ate a varied diet of food I prepared myself from scratch every day, ran an average of 24 miles a week, spent 3 hours a week in weight training, had a single sexual partner, didn't smoke, barely drank, took no prescription medications, used virtually no over the counter medicine, bathed daily, always wore clean clothes, and read my copy of Tao Te Ching every night.

Not sure what I did to bring this on myself. Must've been all the radiation from my smart phone.

So here we have two anecdotes, one as equally useless as the other for understanding anything about the way the universe works.

Thanks for replying! GDPR is complex. Indeed, declining these specific consents will still permit one to access a service.

My understanding is that there can be other consents, such as consent to changes of Terms of Use, which are required to access a service.
I cannot begin to understand how is it better to reveal your DNS access patterns to the global company like Cloudflare, as opposed to revealing them to your local ISP?

Who do you think can smoother monetize your data - your local ISP or Cloudflare? Or maybe Cloudflare solemnly promised never to do it?

If an effort is to be taken, the best thing is to run your own DNS resolver that will query root servers and follow the chains directly.
still works nicely though, i will add (slate)
Parents without enough credit don't get to send their kids to private school in America either. I'm not sure how you could overlook the fact that our whole civilization is founded upon a social credit system far more pervasive and malicious than this thing the Chinese are introducing. We should really sort out the problems in our own backyard before criticizing the chinks for having a system that picks winners and losers based on how they behave.
Mechanistically, the media discovered it because this newsroom was working more effectively than the team at Facebook auditing the corp to find similar breaches.

If you want another take on the “why,” consider the incentives of the two parties. One organization gains face by finding more breaches, one loses it.
Actually, doing away with the signature seems a bit odd, given all the machine learning flying around. An electronic signature that records the speed strokes in the signature are made, as well as the final result, is probably a really good way of identifying the purchaser. Of course then a lot of the smaller merchants would have to upgrade their 90's era dial-up credit card processing.
>Then the banks will blame you, the account holder.

even in cases of fraud?
> On Android apps just request everything

That was true up to Marshmallow (Android 6), when finer grained permissions were added.

Photographers already have enough problems being mistaken for gunmen [1][2] without cameras actually looking like guns.

If you really want a pistol grip, they do sell what is essentially a rifle stock for a camera [3]. All you'd need to do is attach a remote shutter release to your pistol grip and you're be good to go.

I take it you’re not in the US? Signatures are required for the vast majority of in-person credit card transactions above $25 or so in the US.
Yes. They said I'm obliged to audit the checks myself each month.

When this happened to me last month it hit 1 hour, then on the next attempt required connection to iTunes.
Nope. They have to give you proof of what you bought for the thousands of times a day across the country there is a quarrel with the order.
"Your run of the mill MITM" is no MITM at all, in my experience. When I connect to the internet at coffee shops and airports and even my employer with a Blue Coat MITM device and a root cert installed everywhere, HTTP is generally not tampered with at all, even though it easily could be tampered with. A small percentage of the time, some sites are blocked entirely; there's a static page with no JavaScript replacing the site. A few years ago my cell phone provider re-compressed images but made no semantic changes / introduced no attack surface from a third party. Tampering every page as standard behavior is definitely worse than what I expect. What is your expectation of "run of the mill MITM"?

Furthermore, MITM is either in exchange for something of value and therefore desired by the user (regulatory compliance at work, perhaps free wifi at coffee shops, perhaps better performance for older cellular networks), or it is an attack. The existence of MITM in general is not normal. Why should Vodafone be MITMing at all? Why is "as attacks go, I've seen worse" a defense?
