It's during that "delete the user data" that it removes any updates to the app leaving behind only the part installed
on the system partition (which is read only).

But I should have been more clear. not all preinstalled apps are like this, just a lot of the less important ones (at least on google-branded phones, I have no idea what samsung or lg are doing to facebook). I believe it does require the developer of the app to actually implement it though.

But either way there is literally no benefit to removing those apps from the system partition. You won't get the space back (different partition), and if they allow users to delete these things they can very easily get their phone into a state that you can't recover from (factory reset won't work because there's nothing to reset to).

I'm 100% with you that non-essential apps should be uninstallable as much as possible, and preferably I'd like them to not be installed at all, but that's an entirely different issue than what Google was just fined for.

At the end of the day, i MUCH prefer Android's handling of removing/disabling factory installed apps over something like MacOS where if you "factory reset" the device, you can't use it again until you connect to a network and re-download the entire image.

> why does my BMW have a BMW entertainment system?

BMW is the manufacturer, not a licensor, so it's a slightly different scenario, but let's say that dealers are somewhat equivalent to manufacturers. You raise a good question or two:

1. Does BMW forbid dealers from replacing the factory entertainment system with an Alpine system? Or do they just assume nobody will, since it's already bundled in the car?

2. What is BMW's share of the automobile market? (i.e. how close to a monopoly are they?)
Well, hold on -- here, they mean literally a 2-time pad [B], not an umpteen-time pad, as is broken in Cryptopals 1-6 [A]. Getting useful information out of only one re-use is a lot trickier, and I haven't seen that as a beginning crypto exercise.

Usually such beginner exercises will give you >10 uses. In Cryptopals 3-19, another n-time pad exercise (labeled "moderate difficulty"), you provide n=40.

5 Types of Dog Training Methods – Try It, You'll Like It
With full respect for your choices, I don't have your code in front of me so I can't review or comment on architectural decisions made, but given that disclaimer - when people say they "need" a plugin to do something, I often wonder if their viewpoint is accurate to the real problem being addressed, or if they are programming by habit, rather than by best practice. Again, I mean no disrespect because I have no information to criticize other than base assumptions.

To Excel, I wonder how much reimplementing was needed again, did you need computations in-cells like Excel has? It seems like if you are going that deep you will need to implement much of the logic on your own. I guess if you are truly just reimplementing Excel in a web interface, then your point has merit, but it seems like for something that specific, the preboxed solution would more get in the way?

To directives versus components, certain behaviors make more sense to me as an HTML element (an infinite scroller, for example) than as a "controller-level" component. Additionally I've found a great transparency of debugging by starting with the HTML and looking at what functions are being invoked when, than by hoping I know where the "controller" is binding into the HTML, and perhaps never finding all of it.

And fair - I still don't know what "opinionated" means... lol
> Which might be because we're getting it 2nd or 3rd hand, so we shouldn't necessarily jump to conclusions.

Yeah, as a Star Citizen backer (at an extremely modest level) I think that it just wasn't spelled out in the article. There was a LOT of hubub in the community when they added this new clause to the TOS, because you had to accept it to continue playing the alpha, which in turn meant that you could never get a refund.

Now I do agree that it would be very nice to see that the judge confirmed that the user actually went through with this agreement personally and that his acceptance was not just implied by the fact that the change was made a ways back in the release cycle.
Not a physicist, but the basic idea is that the probability for anything to happen is different than 0, even if extremely small.

The quantum fields can't ever be zero, from my understanding. And thus stuff can still happen:

> According to Fowler & Guggenheim (1939/1965), the third law of thermodynamics may be precisely enunciated as follows: It is impossible by any procedure, no matter how idealized, to reduce any assembly to the absolute zero in a finite number of operations.
Dunno. Also, the author hints than the night is endless and cold and the child, which the author uses to convey that part of the story, is scolded by his parents and ordered to get back underground where it's warmer.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but they also added a central story line and some 'farming' elements & side quests in the Atlas Rises patch (which was when I picked the game up on sale), and I found it gave me plenty to look forward to, at least for a while.

It still felt a tad bit unfinished in some respects (a flashier 'ending' with multiple possible outcomes would be ideal), but I was able to get a lot of great hours out of it-- enough so that I'm definitely planning to replay from the beginning after this Next patch.

Oh you may have misunderstood my comment. On my phone at least, there is an app named "Play Services" which I assume provides things like location services and other background Google platform APIs. You can disable other pre-loaded Google apps individually (Google Search/Assistant, GMail, etc).

FWIW, I too hate that there isn't a replacement for those Play Services. I'm so frustrated - Pixel launcher will not show temperature in Celsius unless I give it "Web and App Activity" permission.
I'm excited about this! I would love for pipelines to get easier to configure.
I think you misunderstand weightlessness. The Blue Origin capsule got to about 75 miles altitude and low earth orbit starts about 100 miles, while Earth's surface is about 4,000 miles from the center of gravity. In other words, the force due to gravity is essentially the same for all of these. Weightlessness is falling, that's it.
Difference in delta-v is roughly 8 times higher for low orbital flight.

Difference in aerodynamic heating is more than that. I think Blue origin is still supersonic/high supersonic, re-entry from orbit is hypersonic and requires different materials.
I cancelled my Netflix account around a year ago because of issues that kept accumulating. Removal of shows, deteriorating UX, price hikes, etc. I haven't missed it.

I stopped renewing Prime when they announced the most recent price hike. It runs out in a week and I already don't miss it. If I need something in two days I'll pay for two day shipping. In all likelihood I'll save money this way.
Google Cloud AI Huddle
And similar statements were also made about Pet Rock and Beanie Babies.
I don't consider that part up to Google's discretion. It simply doesn't function without the kernel. The question is whether the Google apps are also essential and inseparable which would tie them to the kernel as part of a derivative work (according to this interpretation which may or may not hold up in court).
My point was Google didn't pay anything to gain the market share because they advertise Chrome on their frontpage, something neither Firefox, nor IE, nor Opera nor Safari, nor anyone else in that matter could do.
Dubious to say the least. If anything, silicon valley culture is legendary for being unapologetically left leaning, and has been harder on right leaning content, let alone toleraing far right propaganda. This is a "sting" operation that's looking to "prove" a narrative someone's pushing - cherry picking evidence that suits their agenda.
This. It's like getting rear ended while siting in a racing bucket seat with a proper harness. Not comfortable but also no big deal.
Yeah, practice really helps. I’m mindfulness meditating again for exactly this reason, to get back on top of mood.

But externalizing is miss understanding the WHY as much as not understanding the root emotion.
You’re talking of the eternal tension between security and freedom.

No, I don’t think that reducing choice and locking them in Google’s ecosystem is pro-consumer, even if done for the right reasons.

Let’s remember that Android was welcomed by many of us as a free (as in freedom) alternative to iOS.

If you want a locked-down, secure and polished OS, then Apple’s iOS is far better at this game. The only reason why Android is dominating the market right now is because it gave freedom to users and freedom to phone makers. And Google dialing that freedom down after becoming so popular is anti-competitive.

It’s essentially a bait and switch, which is why I believe Google deserves that fine.
True - not judges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Commission
I wonder what would change if android wasn't free anymore.

Android devices getting more expensive, better market share for apple?
My understanding of it is that it wouldn't reach zero Kelvin. The heat only becomes uniformly distributed. Everything becomes maximally disorderly. Things move, but all interesting information is gone.

But order is probabilistic. It's not physically impossible for order to increase, it's just ridiculously unlikely. If you wait long enough (really long) it'll probably happen some time.

I don't think quantum effects are especially related, except to the extent they relate to everything.
Again, they can be ‘open’ (sell/give to other OEMs), they just can’t use contracts to force those OEMs to help them dominate other markets/kill Android competition.

That’s what they’re doing here, just like MS did in the 90s with Windows licenses.
Patients' Drug Options Under Medicaid Heavily Influenced by Drugmakers
I often feel more creative when hungover, for some reason. Since (for me, at least) hangovers mostly consist of feeling worn out from sleeping badly, I wonder if there might be a connection there.

I seem to remember Olivia Laing touching on the hangover--> creativity phenomenon a bit in her book The Trip to Echo Spring: On Writers and Drinking. I suspect most of the people she writes about in that book (e.g. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dylan Thomas, Tennessee Williams) were chronically sleep deprived in addition to having drinking problems.
TBF I own some Ethereum as a hedge in case I'm wrong, but everything I read about it in terms of practical use, I find not impressive (beyond the tech which is impressive).

Not just essential -- atomic. Inseparable.

Google is far and away the worst OSS maintainer, a lot of their allegedly OSS work is really just a code dump with all the real work being done behind closed doors.
It is a lot inconvenient, given the various and myriad issues with guaranteeing email deliverability. Multiple hosting providers use greylisting or something like it which can delay email by minutes to hours, depending on the behavior of the sending mail server. Almost all hosting providers use one or more layers of spam filtration which can incorrectly trap or dispose of your message. Many users have additional mailbox rules set up which may accidentally match your message and route it to an unexpected folder. Relatively small mistakes with things like SPF can further complicate deliverability. You may also use some popular mail delivery service or another, which means that when that service has a bad customer that annoys enough other system administrators, the entire service gets blackballed, your messages along with it. (Hi, SendGrid.)

DigitalOcean's two-factor authentication used email, and email only, which several times caused us some headaches when there was an urgent issue and our person-in-charge couldn't access the account.

I've had a system administrator role for multiple companies over almost 15 years now. I've yet to see a perfectly reliable email system.

Doing password resets over email is one thing (though I think SMS is still better). At that point, the individual no longer has access to their account anyway, and you're dealing with a much smaller number of impacted users. It's much worse to throw up your hands and say, "I don't want to deal with passwords, let's use email", especially now that there are so many good password-handling libraries for so many different development environments and numerous articles on proper password handling.
The rocket & capsule are designed to be fully reusable.

Retro rockets fire just before landing. This is the main cause of the dust cloud that kicks up around the capsule.

Various sources on the web put the touchdown speed at 1-3 mph.

Edit: the 3mph comes from a test where they disabled 1/3 of the parachutes [1]:

Similar flights had been done with the same craft three times before, but this time around, one of the capsule’s parachutes was disabled. Bezos said the two parachutes slowed the descent to 23 mph, as opposed to the usual 16 mph with three parachutes.

Just before the touchdown, the capsule’s retro rocket system fired. Bezos said that brought the speed at impact down to 3 mph. The capsule was equipped with a ring of crushable bumpers on its bottom to absorb that remaining force.

I can't really understand this point of view.

Digital scarcity is finally invented, but people feel like it will have no use-cases?

Automated finance bots (smart contracts) that work without keeping a server up has no use-cases?

All fiat currencies are deflated continuously, but you believe 100% of people will prefer this?

The ability to embed money into a digital good has no value?

How can it ever go to zero if there's someone out there who thinks it might be worth accumulating just for the remote chance that one of these ideas works out?

The idea of it going to "zero" seems irrational to me.

My alma mater's undergrad physics curriculum required math through boundary value problems: basic calc, multivariate calc, vector calculus as a separate course with more in depth material, diff eq, partial differential equations/bvp. The whole math curriculum was about 6 semesters. Basically any physics major auto-qualified for a math cert/minor.
Indeed. In Neil DeGrasse Tyson's version of "Cosmos" there is a great illustration where he says that if we visualize the entire history of the universe as being scaled to one calendar year then every human being that has ever lived has essentially existed somewhere within the last 12 seconds of that year.
I was also using rescuetime and MyFitnessPal, which tracked my fitness and productivity.

The happiness thing was more abstract... why am I unhappy? Because I’m not exercising, eating well and I’m working too many hours. Why am I doing those things? Hmmm, it’s correlated with, amongst other things stress and lack of sleep.

Fixing the sleep helped fix the rest.
Yes, there's a bot API.

We dump state from the bot API each tick and send it over GRPC to a Python agent, which formats the state into a tuple of Numpy arrays. That Numpy array is passed into 5 neural networks (one per agent), each of which returns a tuple of Numpy arrays. Each tuple is decoded into a semantic action, which is then returned to the game via GRPC.
I uninstalled glibc from a Gentoo machine once. Fixing that was a huge pain, but I kind of appreciate that I was allowed to do it.

Point taken. There are many different reactions to being hurt and possible backslash about me is just one of them.

I may also end up doing harm to hurt person, either because my hurt will influence them to their detriment (they will internalize my angry outburst etc) or because of how third parties will perceive them due to what I say.

I did not meant retaliation as purely bad act on the side of hurt person. It may he just answering in kind. People who don't stand up to insults end up being bullied. If I don't have to care about hurting their feelings, they don't have to care about mine.

Go back and watch every WWDC.

You'll see that they consistently say that iOS updates are always free. There is a reason they say that, it's not be accident or idle words.

It's because the idea of a free OS upgrade for non FOSS is non-standard. Android moving to paid, means they would be like the overwhelming majority of business models for OS updates (Windows, MacOS).

It also means that they were unable to successfully monetize/subsidize their OS over the long term - arguably the crowning achievement of Google - whereas Apple has been able to eat their own dogfood and make it more or less a singular product.
It's worth noting that Kundera's interpretation of kitsch (as a socio-political phenomena rather than an aesthetic quality) is pretty fringe and generally not recognized outside the lit crit community. You won't find it being taken seriously in academic circles focused on sociology, politics, etc., mostly because there are far more elegant and explanatory frames of reference for discussing the phenomenon Kundera describes (mostly drawn from psychology).
I believe there's a word for that. Blackmail

I really don't know. I'd like more trackpad "resolution" so I can disable or throttle acceleration down in order to get more precision but I definitely don't want a huge trackpad like the new macbooks or the artificial cursor movement both windows and mac have.

> [Against clear orders] The printers decided to print four copies of each pad then send two each to the KGB and GRU. Neither the KGB nor the GRU reused the pads they received, except perhaps because of occasional operator error.

> ... Subtracting one message from the other cancelled out the unknown key to produce a synthetic message that was the difference between the two original messages. These could then be picked apart using a combination of statistics and predictable words.

Chrome was the choice of many people who really know their tools. It was fast and put the content on front instead of itself.

Extreme weather with atmospheric acidification that slowly eats away at everything on the surface like a polishing a rock.

While this will work a very large proportion of the time, and has a big benefit of offloading security as you mention, email is fundamentally asynchronous and can be affected by issues outside of your (and the email providers') control.

Another point that UX designers might make is that this solution necessarily takes users away from your site to complete login, and that can introduce a place for users to drop off. I'm not sure it's that significant, but I've heard it used as an argument.
