You can use Suica almost everywhere. The reverse is not true. For example, I live in the Tokai region and have a Toica. I can't use it outside of Tokai. I think eventually these things will even out, though. I was surprised that a Passmo card I got in Tokyo and accidentally used in Tokai worked.

But the golden rule in Japan -- make sure to carry enough cash in case you get into trouble :-)

You have a complete misunderstanding of how design patents work. It's akin to those ignorant fools running around talking about Apple patenting round corners.

What Apple patented was their design for a grid of icons. You could have created your own just like Google and many others did.

What you couldn't do was blatantly rip off their design which Samsung did.
It would be fascinating if they returned to this capability. One celebrity gets the podium at a time.
Typing from an essential, the notch is not really a design plus but more of a compromise to giving the user full emersive experience in phone viewing. It is to get the screen into the rounded corners. The front camera is like saying ... Fine!

Apple does this really well by minimizing the thickness of the notch, filling all four corners with screen, and creating UI concepts that could blissfully integrate the weird screen shape.

Um, those three words "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" together mean "as high as possible".

There's that, but on the other hand, small gasoline vapor explosions are quite harmful and require considerable shielding, and generate waste that is destroying our ecosystem.

The nuclear waste problem seems to be not so severe in the age where everything is tracked every second; and it doesn't need to be solved completely - just raise the cost of (illegal) waste extraction to be considerably higher than getting it from alternative sources, and you're set.
Disney owns BamTech the streaming company behind MLB at BAT and HBO Go. BamTech is widely believed to have the best streaming technology except for Netflix.

No one has ever accused Disney of not being able to leverage its brands. They also have a good track record when it comes to acquiring other companies like Pixar, LucasFilm, and Marvel.

If the deal with Fox goes through, they will have even more content to leverage.
The JVM. I know this is the boring answer but the tooling and performance combination is tough to beat. It's why Twitter themselves switched to the JVM (a mix of Scala and Java).
Ha! That's what I get for making a hasty response after skimming. Well, accountants or otherwise, I stand by my assessment.
A number of things, but most notably the ecosystem.

Outside of Microsoft and some other big developers, there is still surprisingly a ton of win32 crap out there. Also support for scaling on hi DPI screens is a hit and miss. Even some Adobe apps have problems with scaling.

I used to get frustrated reading clickbait journalism and say "this isn't real news, the kind I used to watch on major network television in the 20th Century". Then I realized there never was any such thing as real news. It's all clickbait. It's all muckraking. It has value but it requires as much of a critical eye to parse as the personalities it covers.
It's perfectly tenable. The phone company can pick a list of broadly acceptable charities, but hell, it's fine with me if the phone company just keeps the money. The main thing is that the caller pays. The phone company is not the arbiter, whoever receives the call is, and their decision is final. This shouldn't have any impact on low-income people unless they're calling a bunch of people who don't want to hear from them. There's no need for an appeals process, it's only $1, and it has to be reported within 10 minutes. The caller would receive a text message that they had been charged for the call, and either has to stop calling people who don't want to hear from them or pay for each call.
i meant biometrics merely as a UX improvement, ie, to help prevent the device from responding to the wrong thing "accidentally"

Involving the police could end up being a very costly decision if he also committed a crime. That's why he really needs to see a lawyer before he talks to this guy again or makes any more public statements about what happened. (The comments he made here admitting to threatening the non-payer's business interests can be connected to his real identity through all the information in his profile. All you'd need is a subpoena for domain registration or ISP records.)

A lawyer, if given all the above information, would be able to tell him whether it would be better for him to fight or just walk away (and also give him advice on how to better handle this kind of situation in the future).
I suppose it bears some structural similarities. "You don't need to worry about X if Y." The X and Y are different, though, so as with many cases where the variables change, the relationship may or may not hold.
I still contend that in many ways, traditional cable subscriptions offer more for your dollar than a pile or cord cutter products. At the very least, the competition is closer than one might be led to believe.

Funny enough: My friends who never see television ads, I sometimes feel like they miss out on a lot of meme-worthy things. Sometimes I'll reference a commercial (like Grammarly, which is pasted all over YouTube), and people don't know what I'm talking about. It's weird. As annoying as ads are, they've become a significant part of our culture and it's odd when people don't see them.

Imagine if you happened to not know what the Geico gecko was or have heard the commercial from which the pronunciation "diabeetus" came from.

Very few sites have had and will have that kind of growth curve. Moreover, the cloud and the workloads you can run on it are substantially different now than they were 10+ years ago. So what would I use? Probably the most productive framework I could find, not necessarily the most performant one, because odds are that my app would never attain the scale I'm preparing for, but that preparation overhead may be the handicap that prevents that level of success in the first place.
And do those PDAs have the same style and layout of icons as the iPhone ?

No. Because I still own a Treo 650 and it looks completely different.

This is a design patent remember.
I’m sorry, but blind trust in the benevolence of regulators in a country you’re not even a citizen of is no way to run a business.

"Profitable to do so" in the eyes of his employees. Do you really think these decisions are made to appease Twitter commenters?

Because a few jerkoffs don't care doesn't mean that a lot of people (enough to affect profit margins and public image of the employer) don't :)
I have some experience with that specific question, although it was a few years ago...

Do you remember what conflict was causing things to fall over?

In general, the usual important parameters to tweak are:

- max_pred_locks_per_transaction may need to be increased; otherwise locks will switch to coarse granularity to save room in the lock table

- for tables that fit in memory, the planner may choose a sequential scan even when an index scan is available, which can be faster but creates more conflicts on a serializable workload. Increasing cpu_tuple_cost should avoid that (or even just enable_seqscan=off to force indexes whenever available)

You can't determine if an arbitrary computer program will halt on some input.
We did something similar to a coworker when Apple Watch came out. He tried to dictate a text response to someone that said “thanks for doing that.” Someone else yelled “DICK!” afterward. Apple Watch is notoriously slow on processing text to speech, so he didn’t think the watch picked it up and hit send. Then the text was added.

He had to call the guy he tried to text to in order to apologize.
Mother Jones these days is pretty much "Hillary Democrat," as far as I can tell. But there are other leftist magazines like the Baffler, n + 1, Current Affairs, and so on.
Far as I can tell, the done thing in the industry is to disable all other safety systems (or to not have any in the first place) and to delegate safety entirely to the self-driving AI.

The charitable interpretation of this is that the industry believes that self-driving AI is a safety feature of greater quality than, say, lane assist or auto-breaking.

The less charitable one is that they find it too much work to integrate their AI to other safety systems. Which, to be fair, is really going to be a lot of extra work, on top of developping self-driving.

There is also the $10 "HD Technology Fee". If you have multiple TVs it's $10 for each additional set top box per month. I know our 6 TVs is a little extreme but that by itself would be an extra $50 a month.
Shared_pointers are thread-safe from a creation and deletion aspect. Futhermore, you can use weak_ptrs to reference a shared_ptr and use that where you suspect a pointer might be deleted to a resource that is still required. Furthermore, the trusty old keyword const can make the pointer immutable thereby mitigating the problem. (And don't say what about const_cast.. because that's undefined behavior masquerading as acceptable because it rarely causes side-effects.
Energy density and release rate tend to have inverse relations, for a given energy mechanism.

In addition: be more selective in choosing who gets to be a police officer, hold them accountable for their actions, and hold them to high standards.

I get the feeling that a major deterrent for folks who genuinely want to be a police officer to help their community is that there are many in the organization who view their role as an extension of the US military.

Thanks! I've been looking for something similar that supports Linux. Most tools I found unfortunately did not.
This is definitely a very useful heuristic and one I follow. I might put "Is it supported?" in the first questions group though, especially if the project is for work and you need to be able to get support/troubleshooting questions answered quickly, as opposed to a "just for fun" side project where deadlines are less prevalent.

"Keeping the heuristic as simple and concise as possible" -> this is really the crux of it. In this post I listed out pre-researched modules and use cases for them, but still basically a heuristic nonetheless.

Your Idea Sucks Until Proven Otherwise
I've messed with hackintoshes for years on desktop. It's easy to get macOS running, getting it to 100% is much more challenging. On laptops it's even worse. Plus a hackintosh installation can die for whatever reason at the most unexpected moment.

No thanks.

Apple laptops are statistically as reliable as most other manufacturers. But Lenovo, Dell, etc, are more ugly with worse trackpad and worse screen.

Trust me I've tried everything. With all its faults, for me, macOS on Apple hardware is still the best choice.

So, if that is the real intention of the EU, why they didn't write that in the law instead of threatening everyone with a 20M fine ?

Because for how the law is written now you could in theory get a 20M fine for the smallest violation, and it's obvious that a lot of companies will be scared of that and will simply cut out European users, especially small companies that don't have money to spend in lawyers and other stuff.

The EU should clarify the situation, put limits on fines based on the company size (it's foolish that a person that has a blog that doesn't generate any revenue risks a 20M fine!), and give a transition period (yes, the law was approved 2 years ago, but what did the Europe to inform companies of that law and so permit them to be compliant in time ? Nothing, given the fact that everyone began to know about it some weeks ago)

As an European citizen I'm really concerned about this law, it risks to cut out a lot of internet services, and that is bad, also now I'm scared to even put Google Analytics on my personal website, because well you know a 20M fine is not a good thing, sure it's unlikely to get it, but in theory you can, and I don't want to risk.
What is special about Apple's grid of icons? Icon sizes are -- due to convention -- almost always some power of two, or other standard size. The number of icons you can fit on a rectangular screen is going to be pretty similar because of the size of the appendage that will be interacting with it (a human thumb).
As others pointed out, other phones had similar layouts. Remember that some of the graphics just weren't possible with older phone hardware. The iphone came out at a time when nicer graphics were doable, but it was still fairly expensive. They sold them for $500-$600 with a 2 year contract.
Not to mention that Apple's rounded corners are not just a quarter of a circle stuck on the corner of a rectangle. Their corners are actually a specific design for their icons and their devices. [1] It's worth noting that they actually didn't at the time of writing have a patent on their specific corner design. I haven't read it yet but it would be interesting if corner shape this is mentioned as part of this patent.

This is something I don’t believe we’ve really figured out in terms of QAing stochastic processes. Doing QA on normal code is binary...did it work or not? Doing a QA on a model is a lot more difficult. You need to think about Type I and Type II error. If I were a product manager thinking about wake words, I’d want my Type I error to be as small as possible...to the point where I’d accept a pretty high Type II error.

Lately I’ve been seeing Alexa wake on accident more often. It’s like someone isn’t thinking critically about what kind of Type I error they’re willing to accept.
So if someone traveling in the EU gets GDPR protections, does someone traveling in the US lose GDPR protections? Are the GDPR protections only for the data that was collected while someone was in the EU or for all data once they've traveled to the EU once?

I think there's a very specific motivator behind people who build tech with the intent to sell, and that motivator doesn't cover every reason behind other people who build tech. If I want to start a project and think, "cool, if this works out, i'll sell it 6 months from now so it can actually do cool stuff", I'm just not going to work on that project at all.

Honestly though, I would _love_ to live in a world where you could walk into my home and install your 'adtreckr' eye tracking cameras on my TV. What you're describing is "trust", and I think the amount of it that each person has (for people in general, but also for companies) is a big influence in how they view GDPR (and other regulations that some might argue are unnecessary). Obviously, we're very far away from that world, so this isn't consent for you to come waltzing into my home in the near future. :)

In my eyes, the satirical representation of what's happening here (from a consumer's point of view) is me placing an order for your awesome new eye tracking cameras, looking forward to the delivery and installation, and then seeing delays and delays as you repeatedly come back with, "well, are you sure you want this? are you sure I can enter your home? are you sure I can touch your TV? are you sure I can modify your TV?" I signed up, I paid for it, I told you I want it, just do whatever you need to do to give me it.

From a business POV, I already treat user data with utmost regard, and my users know that. Similarly, I trust that the companies I willingly give my data to do the same. There are probably some bad actors in the mix, but I doubt they're going to bother with compliance anyway. Having to go out of my way to prove that data trust is there to a third party completely uninvolved with the contract I have with my users, and to spend hours and hours implementing new workflows and pipelines for out of scope functionality that needs to be maintained indefinitely -- this is not good for a business. It's bad for small businesses because it sucks up time, money, and other resources, and it's bad for big businesses because it opens up such a huge area for litigating non-issues. It might have some value to users, as I said elsewhere, but it's a heavy-handed regulation that is too overreaching in its implementation, in my personal opinion.
