Presumably we're killing the cows and lambs for fashion AND food? Even if we stopped using animal leather materials tomorrow, I doubt it would put much of a dent in the industry.

(For the record I'm all for eating meat, but I agree that beef is unsustainably bad for the environment compared to other animal options like poultry and eggs.)
Air Asia is the worst airline I've ever flown with. Unfortunately, it's hard to avoid them when flying in Asia.
They kind of got replaced by "table oriented" query languages, like SQL. Arrays can get very unruly to coordinate, manage, and/or comprehend. Tables tend to ensure a bit more structure and can "do" most of the same things as arrays if you normalize properly.

SQL is probably not the ideal "table processing" language, but it's good enough and a strong enough standard such that competitors have yet to unseat it (although I'd like to see more competition, such as Tutorial-D/Rel, SMEQL, etc. fight it out in the market-place.)
Yes, the requirement isn't that a piece of media came from some digitally signed hardware, but the process of recording involved (idk) sampling from a real world source.

I don't know how you would do that in the absence of the real world source, since the recording event would no longer exist.
>Gently, I would suggest that we are neither original nor should we find our identity in material goods

While I agree with the first part, identity is tied to society, unless we are to become reclusive hermits. I would suggest that while better, even people who look back to a pre-consumerist lifestyle, are engaging in lifestyle (and thus identity) unless it's a completely unattached choice (again reclusive hermit).

It reminds me of my High School anti-establishment, anti-in-crowd anti-jocks who in being all things-anti were a definable entity in itself with a prescribed set of attitudes and behavior -and music specially.
Isn't that how agrobacterium works?
Or just don't bother with alignment and just use tabs for indentation. For example, instead of aligning function parameters after the opening parenthesis, move them to the next line and use a hanging indent:

someType someFunctionName(
param1, param2, ...)
{
statement1;
statement2;
...
}

I find that following a style like this will work equally well with tabs or spaces and that I have to spend less time formatting code I write (either manually or changing a setting in the editor I'm using).
Instead of Facebook I would suggest focusing on getting a lot of positive reviews on Yelp. If your friend can get 20 or 30 reviews on Yelp he will totally dominate the whole local market with a number 1 listing organically on Google without hardly any effort.
Well, you may have a different experience, but for me and my companies (current/prev) it wasn't a lot of fun working with Oracle.

It's not that all the stuff is bad or that all the 'free' things turn sour, most of the things are technologically sound, but there is just so much lawyering, licensing and IP fighting that takes all the joy out of life. This isn't unique to Oracle, but not even IBM is as passive-agressive as their non-tech people and documents are.
Wouldn't surprise me; Perhaps containers could be extended to spoof/fuzz some of this data when then the site requests it? OTOH, if this blocks the tracking done by facebook's like buttons/forums by preventing their loading outside the container, then I don't think there's anything for FB to go off.
I would be happy to see us follow suit up here in Canada, but given that JT is at least part-owned by the PRC, I doubt it'll happen. I miss the good old days when we had our own telecoms equipment manufacturer. Northern Telecom, for all its faults, put out good stuff.
> the difficulty is not intergalactic because a solution on mars is much less useful than a solution on earth

We're talking apples and oranges, I don't think there is a disagreement - I was only saying that the statistical problem is "intergalactic", not that how it's used in Bitcoin is useful across galaxies. The fact that the probability of the outcome is same across the whole universe is what I found particularly remarkable.

And?? California building codes have improved alot since the 1980s or so. I remember the 1989 LA earthquake as I drove through the aftermath to visit my grandma about 2 weeks after, I live on the Central coast.

All in all not since 1933 has CA lost more than 100 lives in an earthquake:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Calif...

That tells me our building codes are pretty damn good.

I work at ucsb and the catilina islands recently had a 5.2 about 2 weeks ago and the building shook abit. But all in all unless we suffer an 8.0+ I'm not terribly worried (knock on wood). To put that another way, realistically for any moderate sized earthquake CA is generally well prepared in terms of architecture, unless the big one hits ... In which case just kiss your butt goodbye.

I do wish, even for the big one, that CA invested in an early warning system like Japan has ... Imagine a 5-50 seconds warning of an earthquake, that would save lives, not stricter building codes:

Here is a better, live example of the early warning:

Is Twilio Wireless the beginning of the end of big telco cell phone plans?
Noob here, but from my understanding of the programmable wireless product, a 3rd party service could essentially buy 500 sims (min package), bundle Twilio programmable voice add a minor up charge and offer up a global cell phone package and sim to perspective customers. I know the price today is a bit higher that what you can get with the big telcos but the convenience is far superior(if you're a constant traveler).

Do you think this service has the opportunity to replace current cell phone plans, maybe begin the long awaited cord cutting from these monoliths?
Media coverage is pretty much the only input that most people have when making a decision on who to vote for. It's a well known phenomenon that people vote for winners. Portraying someone as a winner will heavily bias the population to vote for them. It would be complete denial of reality or intellectually dishonest to claim that media doesn't heavily influence the vote. Why else would billions be spent on media campaigns?

And I can tell you that I recognized the anti-Bernie coverage before I ever saw that FAIR post. I specifically looked for negative Hillary coverage on the WP around that time and was hard pressed to find more than one slightly negative article every other day.

"You have described me as giving up and isolating myself. I haven't said any such thing."

You're absolutely right. I saw you say "Love isn't real" and "Trying has taught me the exact same thing the GP has learned: People only ever take advantage of me. That's it," and assumed that because of that you had given up. I shouldn't have made that assumption, and I apologize for that. I'll also try to ask myself if I'm in any way being judgmental before I post something in the future, because that's not my conscious intention -- quite the opposite.

"For another, genuine empathy for a person's experiences is a good place to start."

The durability isn't just a nice feature, but for motorcyclists is essential. I haven't found anything that comes close to the abrasion resistance that natural leather has (while looking like a leather jacket, not including things like kevlar for example).

Top it off with durability that can seriously last a lifetime and look better with age, there's no real competition in the synthetic leathers that comes close to the real thing.
No, this is not new, as ad agencies would gather information on where you shopped and what you bought and sold that information to others. Then you might receive a flyer in the mail advertising something complimentary to your purchase. National retail chains paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for such information going well into the early 1900s.

iOS's permission model is the web model. Your app requests notifications and a user prompt pops up.

It's even advised by a lot of devs on iOS to copy the web's dark pattern of putting up a dummy permission request before requesting so that if the user says no you can re-request in the future.

True enough, Apple's ahead of Android, because there is at least a permission, but they're still behind the web, because there's no setting to universally block all apps from requesting notifications (at least none that I can find, correct me if I'm wrong).

I've yet to see a permission scheme on a mobile OS where I felt like it was ahead of the web. The point I was making was (at best) native permissions are keeping pace with the web, but they certainly aren't surpassing it and the dominant platform in the space is significantly behind.

How the NYPD Disciplines Its Employees
None of us know the details, but each of us has filled the void with "what most likely happened" based upon our own personal worldview, so we can argue about it on social media which conveniently spreads the story so more people can see how virtuous SBUX is for taking such dramatic corrective action (all SBUX locations closed on the same day, interrupting routine customer behavior to make a point about how virtuous they're being here).

Does anyone else kinda just hate all capital-B Brands now, as they increasingly pull this crap? Or is everyone else falling for it, actually having their opinions about these Brands influenced by the grand public gestures they make, spending tons of money on PR people to spin said gestures in the most positive way possible?

Is there really a secret anti-black undercurrent in the management staff in any reasonable number of SBUX locations, such that this grand gesture of corrective action actually has any demonstrable effect on anything at all, aside from making people think more positively about SBUX as a brand?
Does that mean languages like Python and Ruby, which rely heavily on C extensions, will be waiting a long time to be fully compatible?
>> SHA is Memoryless and Progress-Free

> Technically false, because memory-less processes have positive probabilty of yielding no block after 2^256 tries, whereas for sha-256 using brute force, this probability is totally 0. I don't think this matters at the current hash-rate though.

You may be right about my use of "memoryless", though it won't matter at any hashrate :) "...brute-force attacks against 256-bit keys will be infeasible until computers are built from something other than matter and occupy something other than space" (B. Schneier "Applied Cryptography").

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next decade or two, once synthmeat is good enough to take over the market. Various breeds of cattle will likely go extinct, and the same social opprobrium that will wipe out the market for "real" meat will presumably affect leather goods as well.
Some context for the incident here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/8cysu4/starbucks_will...

The guys had ~20 minutes to leave before the cops showed up, and still refused after the cops asked several times. Per the police commissioner:

> On 3 different occasions, officers asked the males politely to leave the location because they were being asked to leave by employees because they were trespassing. Instead, the males continued to refuse as they had told the employees previously, and they told the officers that they were not leaving. When the call was initially made the Starbucks employees had told the males that they were going to call the police and they said go ahead and call the police we don't care. So the police get there and they are confronted with the same type of attitude. They repeatedly told that they were not leaving. In fact, there's some alleged rhetoric about 'you don't know what you're doing, you're only a $45,000 a year employee' or something to that regard.
“Construct a new 2-lane undivided road — about $2 million to $3 million per mile in rural areas, about $3 million to $5 million in urban areas. Construct a new 4-lane highway — $4 million to $6 million per mile in rural and suburban areas, $8 million to $10 million per mile in urban areas.”

$40k isn’t cheap but it’s a fraction of the cost of the roads. I can see the value of experimentation.

Just imagine if it reduced crime. A charge that puts someone in jail for a year costs society well over $40k. Heat definitely can lead to anger, riots etc.

> That definition includes exactly all of the relevant features to this discussion. Groups of people with leadership. How they relate to each other.

Which is not what a government is.

> Focus on the material of the discussion, and perhaps it will seem less useless a definition.

The whole discussion is based on the idea that just because Facebook has rules and somebody in charge, it's equivalent to the government of a state and should be thought about as such. That's absolutely absurd unless you think that every association of people in which someone is dominant or customs exist has its own "government". Pointing that out is focusing on the "material of the discussion".
Just a guess, but it may have still been under development. I think it’s pretty common to not do a release on new features right away.

No, but I think people do get asked to leave a lot, and then they do leave, so no police call is necessary. Do you understand that is what most people do when asked to leave?

These people were asked to leave and stayed 20 minutes after that, until the police showed up, who also repeatedly asked them to leave, before finally removing them.

>>Portraying someone as a winner will heavily bias the population to vote for them. It would be complete denial of reality or intellectually dishonest to claim that media doesn't heavily influence the vote

While that is sometimes true, and I think the media was hoping that would be true it back fried in 2016, because very few people voted for Trump, they voted against Clinton.

The media claiming every day that Clinton was the for gone winner made people that desperately wanted anyone but Clinton to win to come out to vote in droves. And no it was not because she was a women, it was because she was a terrible candidate the has Elitism poring out of every word she uttered.

Let’s say you go to example.com and they’re using a Facebook Pixel for analytics - so example.com can continue marketing that widget to you after you’ve left their site.

Well, when you visit example.com/shop/widget1 you essentially load a 1x1 pixel image from the url ads.facebook.com/pixel?metadata=goes-here and you web browser sends your Facebook cookie along side the request (as it does for every request to .facebook.com).

So Facebook knows what site you’ve visited and what your interest are so that example.com can better market to you, their prospective customer.

The web relies on cookies so you can remain logged in, have a shopping cart, and do most everything else that is stateful (though sometimes this stuff gets implemented in the browser’s webdata cache called localStorage). The container effectively makes the “session” - all data that is identifying - unique to the tab. So you couldn’t open a second tab and remain logged in to your bank account, for example.

the urls are examples; I’m on my phone, not on my laptop.
