Well, that's just stupid. Why not check for extended attributes, and if they aren't there, call it unsupported.
People who work in financial/healthcare/government institutions have locked workstations and cannot install anything so they cannot move to another OS or browser until the org decides to do so, which is a complex, expensive and maybe even impossible endeavor.

For a blog this wouldn’t be a big issue but if it’s a company website and your biggest clients see a broken layout, it’s a problem.

I was in Tibet in 2007 and a lot of locals came up and talked to me, asking America to do something about the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Our hired driver had no problem showing us his picture of the Dalai Lama(which was(still is?) illegal to possess).
But like I said, only an authorized terminal will process transactions, so you need to figure out how to get one. And then, visa and MasterCard take at least a week to pay out any money from card transactions - so your terminal and likely the entire account will get banned before you get a penny out of that money.

It's not that £30 is little money - it's that it's nearly impossible to secure a working terminal and then once you have that actually get any money out of it.
There is (or at least _was_ when I last tried FDE) one major fly in this ointment: you lose the ability to reboot your machine remotely. Upon restarting it required that you enter the password, which you can only do from a local keyboard.
I recently moved to a "bad neighborhood" and was very surprised to learn that there was only one murder here last year, and it was between friends who had stolen something from each other.

There were only around 13,000 murders last year in the US, a number that used to be more like 26,000 during the crack epidemic 30 years ago. US population has increased by 10s of millions since then, but murders continue to drop.

Additonally, 90% of murders occur between people who know each other in some form, be it neighbors or classmates. Being robbed at gunpoint on the street or in your apartment and then shot to death is quite rare, especially if you arent in places like Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, NOLA, Cleveland, St Louis.

The USA certainly isn't perfect but I was thrilled to get a good price on a great apartment in what everyone else calls "the hood". I will take my chances that I won't be the unlucky 1 out of 11,000 people who is shot here every year.
U Penn != Penn State -- they are separated by many hundreds of miles of geography (and culture).

U Penn is private. Penn State is public.
A couple things... salary is a small part of overall compensation. A 10% or more cash bonus is the minimum as well as some equity (which may or may not be worth something).

Health care is also free for most tech workers or if not free, a blip on the radar. I think I pay $40 a month for amazing healthcare (and I'm in SoCal not in the Bay).
Also, what solution would there be? Allow other companies to bypass Google's revenue system in this area? How much will they lose from other companies who want to be treated equal to Fortnite.

edit: This is a question folks, I'm not sure why you're down voting a question.. ya'll are touchy as hell lol.

To put it differently, since I think my first attempt just confused you all in mass:

If Google were to lower it's take from 30% to 15% (fake numbers), for everyone, so that Epic would use their business - would that gain them money or lose them money?

It's a question, yikes ya'll.

I have no idea why you're being voted down.

Tangent: is it recency bias or some other unstated bias I may be unaware of, that there appears to be an increase in completely reasonable, and in-no-way inflammatory comments being downvoted for no ascertainable reason going on in the last few weeks?
Seems like there is a difference between the racist who has a real, seething resentment but is quiet about it and doesn't act on it, and the person (sincerely held racist beliefs or not) who proselytizes hate, isn't there?

I'm not a good data point, because I have never been a target of that kind of resentment/anger/hatred/etc. At the same time, I can imagine the quiet racist is easier to tolerate than the inflammatory provocateur.

I probably agree with your solution in the long term. I just don't know who is supposed to do the tolerating and way-showing. Certainly I don't think that social media/tech/publishing platforms are required to tolerate viewpoints they think could hurt their business.

For what it's worth, I can tolerate hate speech. I'm not quite a free speech absolutist maybe, but pretty close. But it's easy to tolerate it when I'm rarely if ever a real target of it.

Edit: If you feel I am unfairly calling you out by asking if you have evidence for your previous claim about banning users for content causing radicalization, then I'm sorry. That's not my intent. I really am just curious if that's been studied. I've seen similar claims but not any evidence.

You can't really "make your own platform" though. Ultimately the ISPs could shut down access to any website they don't think their customers should have access to. The only recourse would be for the censored to somehow construct their own physical internet infrastructure, which was so difficult and costly the first time that it was highly subsidized by the government.

And do you honestly think you should have the right to determine what elections should be considered "harmful" enough to shut down others speech? There is a wide range of opinion short of the alt-right but in the same direction that could be shut down too, for instance apparently a majority of white people think there is racism against now (https://www.npr.org/2017/10/24/559604836/majority-of-white-a...). Do you think this opinion is so wrong that it should be silenced from the public forum? Do you think it would even be possible to do so?
> > run the various computers
>
> That's a vague assertion that can apply to anything.

It's a very specific assertion which does not apply to every thing: with syncthing, you need to operate every piece of the system. With a cloud service, you are delegating that to other people, presumably professionals. That's a big difference for most people and it has significant implications for things like backups — e.g. if someone breaks into your house and steals two computers, did you just lose every copy of your data?

> > provision enough storage to hold everything
>
> Syncthing can ignore directories/patterns at the local level.

That's an unrelated topic. This is about the total size of your data and whether it fits on multiple devices without inconvenience. If you have a phone and a laptop, do you have enough storage for a full copy of everything? If not, you need to add a third computer, deal with external drives, etc. One appeal of cloud services for many people is that you can save your data without needing to have enough space to have a full local copy and still be able to access it.

> > secure them
>
> And this notion somehow doesn't apply to your Dropbox credentials or shared folders? Furthermore, Dropbox has access to your data - with Syncthing that's limited only to the synchronized devices.

Again, this is a comparison question. A service has a separate security trust boundary so someone who compromises your account doesn't get infrastructure-level access and cannot permanently delete things without you having a chance to recover. If you're doing it yourself, you're taking on that responsibility entirely yourself. Maybe you're confident with that, maybe you're not but it's something that you absolutely have to think about for a data storage system.

> > have a backup plan
>
> Another non-sequitur. Either tool can be part of a backup solution.

You might want to check the definition of non-sequitur – it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card for avoiding an answer. Just to reiterate, ask what happens if your hard drive starts corrupting blocks, someone steals your computer, your house burns down, you get malware which encrypts every file on your computer, etc. With Dropbox the answer is “I buy a new computer and restore my data. Since the malware couldn't overwrite the older copies, I lost nothing”. If you're self-hosting, that could have the same answer but it requires more skills and ongoing commitment to do things like off-site backups.

What I've found to be sadly common is that people do these comparisons without actually matching equivalent levels of service and then get a painful educational lesson when something goes wrong and they lose something they cared about.
Technically, Penn State isn't a "State School" either: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_System_of_Higher_... versus the "Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education"
No, because the posted link doesn't provide any numbers of reports. What does it say?

> The allegations came from multiple sources, including activist group Chinese Human Rights Defenders, which said in a report last month that 21 percent of all arrests recorded in China in 2017 were in Xinjiang.

I was thinking multiple orders of magnitude more reports if there really were 2 million missing people. Like, thousands of reports from disparate people. I'm not saying this didn't happen, because I have no special knowledge - all I'm saying is that if 2 million people disappeared from somewhere, I would imagine there would be no shortage of reports on it happening all over the place, and not that the reports would be routed through a few human rights groups.
Yeah already have it installed.
There seems to be some thought that it could be under/over connectivity, based upon conditions and symptoms (one of a million theories). I don't know necessarily if more connections can be solved so easily - there's the question of how to keep them from growing back in the same pathological manner, and then also which ones to cut.

Well, yeah, they are junk food. Micronutrient (or even macro) completeness isn't really an expected feature. Your claim was that no junk food existed over 400cal/$. This is false. That junk food is, well, junk is not the claim I was addressing, nor one that seems to be in any kind of dispute.

The thing is, since a few we actually know now how exercise helps: it builds resilience against depression[0][1]. The press release from the Karolinska Instituted website[2] explains it fairly well, but in short: when you're stressed, you produce kynurenine. How kynurenine works precisely is unknown, but what is clear is that having chronically elevated levels of it can induce all kinds of mental illnesses. Skeletal muscle creates kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT), an enzyme which breaks it down.

The subtlety here is that this building resilience is not the same as fixing the causes of depression[3].

(I'm a bit surprised this research isn't mentioned in these papers)

The large transactional email sending services (sendgrid, mailgun, postmark, ...) support email templates, e.g. https://sendgrid.com/docs/User_Guide/Transactional_Templates... and some have online editors.

First, why? What problem does this actually solve, other than the technical daring-do of it all? This can all be done easily with paper (see my post about Minnesota's process).

Second, it violates the principle of a secret ballot. Repudiation would require voters to reveal who they voted for, to match ballot to (digital) signature. So it's not viable as a mechanism for a global recount.

read the law about dominant position in a market
>> far more important causes of inequality, including increasing automation of labor, winner-take-all markets, concentration of corporate and market power, minimal antitrust regulation

That's true but I think that winner-take-all markets exist in a large part because of the centralization of capital and how new capital enters the economy.

New money from the Fed flows into the system through massive institutions first; the money trickles down from the government to a few big corporations and then it trickles down to a few big private capital and VC firms and then it trickles down to a select few startups... VC firms collectively run an oligopoly; their main customers are big corporations so they don't have much interest in funding too many competing startups. The corporations which are funding the VCs don't want to acqui-hire too many of the same startups otherwise it gets difficult to justify their M&A strategy to shareholders.

I don't understand the framing of this conversation. Does other companies owe Google money by merely existing?
the fingerprint reading API (not sure the name in Google's world) isn't dependent on Google Play Services, is it? If it isn't, in theory they could still implement it to be the confirmation for purchasing I'd imagine.

Rather have no mandatory middleman, fortnite made the right choice.

However the article is leaning towards a "google shouldn't allow this to earn more money" kind of view, but how much is this on the total that google makes from being a middleman?
I agree. The main advantage of electronic voting (if properly secured) is speed and logistics.
Your reply is symptomatic. In what forsaken world is a society's cultural vitality to be measured by the quality of its investment bankers? That is decadence itself.
Not to dismiss work done by the Electron team but Electron essentially wraps Chromium via CEF, so, tangentially it was made possible by Google.

> "Progressives are singling out technology companies for new regulations. For instance, in New York, the City Council has just voted to cap the number of ridesharing vehicles for services like Uber and Lyft, and may require that drivers earn a minimum amount"

Eh? When did that get started? You are claiming resources. Not checking if you got them is a leap of faith, period. If nothing else, you can abort the program before nastier things happen.
Why can't the cars (and keys) have something like a TOTP authentication mechanism?
Because you need to both know the value of an action (ie, which politician the vote is counted for) and you need to hide who did the action (to keep the ballot private) and you need to ensure every voter only does the action at most once and you need to ensure that if the machine is replaced or subverted physically that the vote can't be silently switched.

No matter how you dice it, one of those things gives with electronic voting, even if you had electronic voting machines with no state (all pure circuits, say), but especially with votes on machines like personal computers, where a myriad of systems need to be trusted for the vote to register.

It isn't worth it. Paper ballots are intelligible to everyone, and even when we vote by mail there is such a paper trail it is hard to fake.

Disorders which patients don't want to treat are called egosyntonic. Examples: narcissism, anorexia, OCPD.
I’ve noticed this pattern in myself that I like to call Automatic Pointless Resistance which is especially active when I’m anxious. I overcome it by completely ignoring my feelings and getting started on tasks regardless of how little I want to do them, or how much I think I’m going to screw them up. Sometimes the disconnect is profound, my brain just doesn’t want to do something but my body knows what to do. Even if it’s something mentally involving like filing taxes, I just ignore any thoughts that say I must be doing it wrong, I should stop and plan it better, etc. And before I know it, the task is well underway and I’m often even enjoying it.
To put it simply, Apple's actions would not be tolerated if they were in a dominant position, as defined by market share not revenue or any other metric.

In general, reasonable societies don't want all businesses subjected to fairness rules, only the ones whose unfairness can be harmful. This is because being subjected to some of these fairness rules is a hindrance to small company growth. They have chosen to use volume as a metric to determine the size at which these rules kick in. It would be tough to argue that other metrics, such as revenue, should be used to determine size because volume determines the number of people affected not cost.
> Where is all the money going?

It's complicated? And depends on if you're talking about elite private universities, middle-tier state schools, for-profit schools, etc.

Most classes of schools have larger administrations: some are just bloat, of course, but others are managing demand for increased student services, greater requirements on compliance for federal grants, increased desire to woo wealthy private donors, etc.

Virtually all classes of universities are trying to expand their facilities and update or maintain their physical plants; this becomes an arms race when students are paying full freight--who will pay in the high five figures yearly to attend some place with run-down buildings?

Elite universities have sharply expanded financial aid as they have broadened their student bodies beyond the already wealthy.

For-profit schools charge what they can and direct the extra to shareholders, propped up by federal student loans; this has led to a wide range of abuses.

Finally, we must not forget that there has been a major effort to defund public higher education. Rather than casting a university degree as something that other citizens benefit from, it's depicted as purely a private good that students themselves should pay for. See "Unmaking the Public University" by Newfield. In this case the "higher tuition" is not new money to the university, but shifting the burden of paying for the education from society to the individual.

Apple isn't absuing its monopoly in one area to force phone manufacturers who license its software to include inessential software that helps increase its market share in others.

In no small part, because Apple doesn't license its software to other manufacturers, and doesn't have a monopoly on mobile devices operating systems in Europe.

The EU sanctioned Microsoft for forcing manfuacturers to include Internet Explorer, even though Windows is an open platform and users could download competing browsers.
Suggesting that boys might be better at something would be politically incorrect, of course. One is allowed to talk about gender differences only if they are in favor of women.

Whatever; my kids are all girls, so I am going to do math with them... exactly the same way I would with boys.
My criticism of webkit is that it fails hard on separating concerns in code. The way JS is superglued into code base is prime example of it.

Netsurf is on other hand is an opposite:

Css parsing - separate lib

Html/xhtml parsing - separate libs

Network - fully based on external libs

Js execution - separate lib

Dom - separate lib

Layouting - separate lib

Final renderer - separate lib
