Why is this news? I guess I'm not seeing what's interesting about the story.

The broader discussion about culture and justice is interesting. A associate community organizer (it sounds like that's the kind of pastoring he's into) putting his foot in his mouth? Not as much.
That's true for a lot of rural roads. Not so much for parking lots, four-way intersections, roundabouts etc. And in many cases the road camber is suboptimal (or goes the wrong way...)
Given that embassies are not actually foreign soil, if the offense was bad enough, US authorities will simply storm the place and make it stop.

But that's a drastic action that won't happen before many other options have been tried.
Amazon are also really great for returns. I've sent quite a few items back and as long as you have a legitimate reason (you haven't just decided you don't want it) they normally cover return shipping too.
"Many do not desire the centralization of data collection yet still use Facebook and Google because it provides shortcuts." is evidence that they don't have a significant desire for decentralization, their actions indicate that it's just a weak nice-to-have wish compared to their actual desires (e.g. getting these shortcuts), that it's not something that matters enough to actually base their decisions on it.

It's the purest form of expressed preference - if people systematically give up A to gain B, then it's clear that they actually don't desire A that much and that they actually do desire B, no matter what they might say.

The same applies to Coinbase - all this implies that for many, many users decentralization is not a feature that's desirable enough to matter, that it's benefits are not noticable and not important enough to make it a serious factor in making their decisions; whatever "the decentralization vision" is, it's not relevant enough so that they'd be willing to give up other benefits to gain these of decentralization.

1Password does not care about loyal users who have been there since the beginning. They care about getting new subscriptions. Fair enough, I'll just take my business elsewhere.
Your passwords are stored on their server. You'd have to compile and run your own server, which is more expensive than the $1/month they're asking for.

After reading the study, it seems like they just made some people aged over 70, with progressed dementia, get light exercise twice a week for 4 months. That's it.

Unsurprisingly, there wasn't much of a difference.

Personally I'm pissed at the way this study is presented. It makes a lot of people falsely assume that exercise is useless, while it's definitely not.

Unless you have one foot in the grave and more than mild dementia, exercise is probably still good for you. In fact the study concludes nothing for longer periods or different modes of exercise, even for people this old and with dementia already onset.

Sending an old man to the gym for "mild-to-moderate intensity" aerobic exercise is a bad idea in the first place.

It's going to take all of 30 seconds until someone sues Google and asks for them to delete sent messages from someone else's inbox. Regardless of whether or not what your doing is legal (and I think you're in the clear), you're not going to be the test case here.
With all these subscription-only apps that are proliferating, I am curious how many enterprising app developers would be interested in making and marketing "cloudless" apps that rely on up-front high prices for revenue, but neverending free updates (mostly bug fixes, I would hope). With GDPR, this seems like it would be actually be easier to deliver.

Of course growth numbers may suck, given how hard it is to make it for any app these days. Long-term growth would probably actually not be sustainable because if it blows up, there is no additional revenue down the road from lack of subscription, and also no network effects to power exponential growth in terms of market share. As far as I can tell, if you're not going to do subscription, there's no way to force users to pay to upgrade to a new version (new features) in the Apple App Store, not sure about Google Play. Your only option is to maybe create a new separate app that's able to import data from the old app, but that seems tacky to me. So, this really wouldn't be a big long-term play at all. But I imagine that there must be short-term markets out there willing to pay for apps that don't keep their data and usage hostage.

I'm myself thinking of making an app like this for budget tracking, just because I haven't found any out there these days that don't require neverending subscriptions and also fit my unique needs. Cloudless is also fine for me, as my phone is storage enough, or if it isn't enough, maybe use my iCloud storage, Dropbox storage, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc for holding the data? Besides that, it'll finally give me the kick in the behind I need to finally learn Swift, which I've been meaning to do for a while. Alas, I imagine cost of customer acquisition may be too high to make even a short-term profit.

So... would this just be a small project for me to prove I can learn Swift and show future employers that I can make smartphone apps too? Or is there actually a real business here and in so many other niches because some people hate being locked into subscription fees? Curious if anyone else has some thoughts.
That's because flagging and rule application is not centralized. Once you have a certain number of points from helping others, you get the right to flag questions. Not everybody does is correctly right away. But over time and on average, its a pretty good system. Better than having mods that may ego trip or follow some personal agenda. Also, if a good question gets closed, other users can flag it to be re-opened.
This is what I came to say. I don't want silence, I just want a massive reduction in the noise I hear.

I'm a bit different than than the average here, I'm a chef. My extraction fans, ovens, hot pans, all make a tremendous oint of noise, by the end of my shift I just want quiet.

I want to get home, kiss my son good night, try to remind my wife that I'm her Husband, and get some sleep in a quiet area.

No noise freaks me ou though.
thanks to google/motorola build quality (which was during the phase moto360 and motoX came out) the back of both those devices are 100% guaranteed to be cracked already and any waterproofing claims gone.

but you are rigth on the TI chip. not even wearOS was updated past the release version there.
That is a risk, I admit. You should do your best to rule out any clear structural causes for your pain. The tricky thing is that doctors will often provide structural explanations for your pain that are believable when you actually have TMS. In Aaron's story, four different hand surgeons gave him four different interpretations of an imaging scan.

My advice is to only consider the TMS diagnosis after you've had consistent pain for many months. Our bodies are strong and can heal from most structural injuries in this time. A sprained wrist should not be causing you pain a year later.

Lastly, you can reintroduce movement gradually. Dr. Sarno advised not resuming physical activity until the pain had already improved a bit. He also said that, of his many patients, none ever reported that resuming physical activity permanently worsened their condition.
Eww. I suspect that in the computer age the enduring value of dissecting dead bodies is that it's even more repulsive than cutting open live bodies (which trainee medics will have to do later on).

I get the impression from long-time Whole Foods shoppers that the quality of the store has definitely gone down since the acquisition. There's a new one not too terribly far from where I live so we decided to check it out and came away deeply unimpressed.

- Maybe 7 different kinds of fruit and vegetables. And I'm stretching this. Most in two varieties, organic and not. There was virtually no selection of fresh produce and what was there wasn't highly impressive in its freshness. The homeopathy section of the store was larger and better stocked.

- All of the meats were vacuum sealed and prepackaged. No fresh fish or butcher. And I don't mean "butchered in the shop and plastic wrapped". I mean packaged at like a factory god knows where. Some of the meat was past the sell-by date.

- An extraordinarily large section of milk and milk-alike products. I remember years ago (the last time I shopped at a WF) there being different kinds of milk from different mammals (goat, etc.), but not like 4 different kinds of cow milk and then a dozen different varieties of vegetable-based "milks".

- The hot food bar was flavorless and in some cases bad...also very expensive.

- A quarter of the store was turned over to some kind of bar.

- A definite feel from the employees of not wanting to be there.

I thought it might just be this store, so I went to another one near my work for lunch and the same problems. The organic wine selection is fantastic I guess.

Keep in mind that this store is not far from a couple Wegmans (absolutely fantastic top-tier grocers who's organic produce section alone is the size of the entire WF's produce section) and in the middle of a ring of large ethnic and South/East Asian grocery chains (read:they all have local fresh fish markets where you can get fresh fish filleted on demand right next to a giant wall of fresh butchered and wrapped meats and animal parts from an entire menagerie of fauna).

The local regular old grocery I can walk to was a better experience tbh. It felt very much like a very expensive Aldi in terms of selection and quality.
That's only according to Coinbase. Those companies never said it was their fault, and I know I'd trust Visa not to lie over CB.
Yep, on the desktop Intel managed to only offer 4 core mainstream chips all the way from the Core 2 days up until Kaby Lake I think? Finally they've had to start releasing 6 core parts, that's a 50% bump.
As a long time 1password user (at least since 2009), I switched to Bitwarden late last year and did not regret it.
I did not pay for a subscription software, I bought a password manager which stored password locally.

I also don't want to pay for a upgrade just because apple upgraded the OS.

I now only buy mac software on Mac App Store.

Apps which I have not renewed include 1password, screenflow, textmate, vmware Fusion,

Paid Products I wish were on Mac App Store with free updates. Sublime, Paragon NTFS , printopia
Could you comment on your emacs setup? I see a few threads on this from Google, but just curious what your setup is and maybe some tidbits about the pros and cons of this kind of setup. Thanks in advance.
> which goes contrary to the ethics of Free software.

No it doesn’t. Free software doesn’t have to be free: Even on the GPL page it’s written that it’s even ok to sell free software. It’s only unethical if you equate OSS to software communism, but that’s another topic.

So anything that encourages the user to either use the freemium, then either dive into the code or either pay, is ethically correct. After all, you can download their AGPL, knock the limit, and redistribute. At which point you’ll be a contributor and while you’re at it, you’ll probably make a few other improvements: it means effectively free for contributors, which is awesome. See, it articulates quite well gratis, contributors and funding.

It’s only designed to make enterprises pay, which is good because they can “donate” huge sums for good software, so it funds the open-source community quite well. And it retains the qualities of OSS: You know what you install, you’re not tied to the editor if he dies, and if they stop improving the software, a contributor can take over their code and become more famous. Win-win-win.
Art.5(1)(e) says "Personal data shall be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed".

The messages themselves constitute personal data, as defined in art.4(1). Data doesn't need to be tagged with someone's name, address and social security number to be personal data - if you could even hypothetically identify someone based on that data, then it's personal data. Even if the users of this service never divulge any personal information about themselves in the content of their messages under any circumstances, they could still be identified by stylometry.

There's a reasonable argument that retention of old messages is a necessary feature of the product, but I'd be strongly inclined to delete everything from the servers as soon as it's delivered. Old messages stored on the user's devices aren't your problem as long as your involvement in the processing of those messages was lawful. I'd also be strongly inclined to implement end-to-end encryption unless there's an overwhelming reason not to, because it adds a valuable layer of protection for both you and your users.

wow, slavery is still alive.
How did they force you into the subscription model?
The local WF is right between two Wegmans where I live and there's no comparison. Wegmans is probably the single most impressive grocer I've ever encountered.
True. And the real story in grocery is that Walmart owns digital shopping(via grocery pickup) , with something like 60% market share vs ~5-10% for Amazon(if I'm not mistaken , they are fourth in market share).

And that Kroger, just this week, did a partnership with ocado, which is the world leader in automation for grocery deliveries.
They dont explicitly cover beer. Each student gets an allowance to spend as they please.

> Essentially, I'm arguing that science applies to itself recursively: if you take empiricism as axiomatic, then science can "choose" its own philosophy, just like it chooses its theories: empirically.

It's not at all clear what "take empiricism as axiomatic" even means. This itself consists of a few a long-running philosophical debates:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/constructive-empiricism/

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rationalism-empiricism/

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-empiricism

> Because perfect stories will be discarded without a second thought if another completely unpalatable theory comes along with better predictive power.

I disagree. Newton's theories are still widely taught despite their inaccuracy, because their predictive power suffices and their explanatory power is superior to more accurate but sophisticated theories.

Furthermore, there's a good reason why the foundations of quantum mechanics are still hotly debated in some circles, despite the fact that such debates will have little practical impact on most practicing physicists. And such debates over explanatory power have yielded valuable insights into QM, like Bell's theorem which resulted from Bell's interest in the de Broglie-Bohm theory, and numerous other no-go theorems.

Certainly a theory with superior predictive power will be employed for predictions, but it will immediately launch an effort to provide a coherent explanatory framework.
There are forms of coercion beyond force -- beyond the IRS garnishing your paycheck in this case.

I really think coercion discussions are interesting. You might remember when SCOTUS was debating the constitutionality of the ACA, and essentially said everything was fine except the funded Medicaid expansion. The opinion of the court was that the subsidies were too "coercive" and that no state could reasonably decline them even if they had other good reasons for doing so (whatever they might have been... let's stipulate those good reasons exist).

The reason I think coercion discussions are interesting is that they tend to reveal bias. It's fundamentally a discussion about whom you have sympathy for. If you have sympathy for lower income people who are burning their money in hopes of the slimmest chance at a better life (honestly though, more like the dopamine high of imagining a better life and escaping their stressful life for 15 seconds at a time) then you'll see the system as coercive. If you think they should wise up and not be so obviously scammed, then you'll think they get what they get.

Or in the ACA case. If you have sympathy for the states who are philosophically against the welfare state and you see the Medicare subsidies as an irresistible corrupting (politically speaking, declining Medicaid subsidies when people in your state are dying from lack of medical care is a tough sell) device, then you'll see the system as coercive.

While I could understand people being upset about this, I pay for a 1password family subscription. It really is a terrific investment. As far as subscription services go it's about the best bang for my buck that I get. A sustainable service model is important for something I rely on so much - especially something that needs to keep on security lockdown.

Also makes it easy for the family to share hulu, netflix, whatnot.
It's worth noting (and not super obvious because of their marketing) that "getting a subscription" and "using their cloud sync" are not a mutual requirement. You can pay via subscription and continue using local/Dropbox/etc vaults.

This part was super confusing to me until I dug deeper when a friend upgraded.

So the primary impact of switching from standalone license to subscription, if you're planning on using 1Password for a while, is that instead of paying a larger chunk of money every so often when they drop a new major version, you move to paying a flat couple bucks a month or larger chunk per year.
Germany goes even further. They also waive part of the loan if you graduate within the regular number of semesters, with a high enough grade or if you repay early. Additionally it is interest-free unless you're late with payments.

Community College -> State School costs very little, especially when compared to private universities like the article. State schools tend to offer everything, so picking a high earning field is typically a matter of an hour's worth of research and maintaining high enough grades to get accepted into the program.

There are a few instances where going to an elite private school can pay off (e.g. MBA from a top 5 ivy league school), but for the most part, there is no measurable benefit of going to a private university when compared to a public one.

Programs like Running Start[0] can drop this cost even further.

Attending Community College can be seen as déclassé, but looking at a university degree purely as an investment, it seems like a pretty reasonable decision.

I understand that not everyone wants to treat college purely as an investment, which is fine. Life is not purely about making money. However, the further away from treating college as an investment a person gets, the more painful the post college experience will be.

It's generally fine to get a degree in a low earning field (e.g. philosophy) as long as you don't spend too much on it. It's also fine to spend a lot of money to get into a high earning field (e.g. dentistry). It is a toxic brew to spend a lot of money on a low earning potential credential (e.g. MFA in dance from a private university).

It’s a good question (Sorry you’re getting downvotes).

I’ve shopped almost exclusively at WF now for about 6 years. In those six years I’ve lived in four separate locations, and in all but one the WF was within walking distance of my home. My current home has one about .5 mike away.

So, proximity is a nice factor for me. Then once I’m inside, the quality of the fruits and vegetables is noticeable. I don’t go out of my way to buy organic (not a priority for me), so the prices can be quite reasonable. I find that I can get an extra day or two of refrigeration with whatever I buy at WF, which saves me a trip compared to buying from, say, Star Market or Ralph’s.

Next up is their pre made deli counter. I absolutely LOVE their selection of ready to reheat / deli selections like their rosemary chicken, or tuna / chicken salad. They are pricey by the pound, but when I tried out the other supermarket near by which had cheaper options, the quality and taste weren’t even close.

Also, for additional context, I’m the primary cook in the family. When I quit my job to start my startup 1.5 years ago I started cooking to help save money. I make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my wife and myself 6 days a week. So, I’m definitely a “frequent flier” with my WF.
