My bank is quite funny about this because even if you disable su on LOS it will write to a file that your phone has been rooted because of the cutsom rom, so even if you install magisk after the bank app freaks out, you still can't make it _forget_ that you had root. Also it takes a week to activate most features on the app after install, _sigh_, so uninstalling is pretty much not an option either.

The funny part is, when you first open the app after install, to stop root/rom users using some features, they just write a boolean to Android's shared preferences `USER_HAS_ROOT` or something. So _if_ you do have root you can just use a file explorer, or adb or something else go to the shared prefs file, change the value to false and when you relaunch the app, as long as magisk is installed, it works fine.

But no, my app doesn't like Los, and I think I even had to uninstall the inbuilt su of the ROM.

Could we at least agree that tech workers in the video game industry should be unionized? The anti-union detractors always talk about how cushy engineers have it and that unions are unnecessary. Well how about the notoriously horrendous working conditions in games?
If you want to increase taxes on the rich, why is it better to do it with capital gains tax rather than income tax?

I'd prefer to target whichever factor correlates best with how much the person can afford to pay. A capital gains tax is bad by this analysis, because it also hits the retirement accounts of poorer folk. An income tax increase for high incomes would only affect the rich.
I don't understand why all these things have to be so huge and clumsy. The Tomu (tomu.im) fits almost entirely inside a USB slot, and has 64k of flash and a 32-bit ARM.

If it does have to be big enough to be on a lanyard or something, I need it to be flexible, like a short cable dongle. A long skinny USB stick is an accident waiting to happen.

This right here.

I wonder if anyone at Apple even cares. Maybe they’re so pompous they don’t think anyone other than them even could invent the next web.

Whoever does, will have to invent their own hardware too I guess.
I noticed a correlation here, too. Is it so strange to think that a tool can select or influence its users in some way?
That is and will stay impossible no matter how many resources for simulation you have, actually.

> This technique, when applied to the real world, is sometimes useful, but can sometimes also lead to self-deception. This technique is called modelling. When constructing a model, the following idealization is made: certain facts which are only known with a certain degree of probability or with a certain degree of accuracy, are considered to be “absolutely” correct and are accepted as “axioms”. The sense of this “absoluteness” lies precisely in the fact that we allow ourselves to operate with these “facts” according to the rules of formal logic, in the process declaring as “theorems” all that we can derive from them.

> It is obvious that in any real-life activity it is impossible to place total reliance on such deductions, if only because the parameters of the phenomena studied are never known absolutely exactly and a small change in parameters (for example, in the initial conditions of a process) can totally change the result. It is for this reason that a reliable long-term weather forecast is impossible and will remain impossible, no matter how much we develop computers and devices which record initial conditions.

Defenders of buybacks contend that they do no harm because the funds are reallocated through financial markets and used elsewhere in the economy.

When is this "rising tide" horse shit argument going to wear out. It's used to justify almost anything now.
It's true that you usually get the lowest common denominator when you build abstractions, but cloud storage has a pretty broad set of useful common denominators. The fact that the author runs into so much trouble says more about the library than the approach.

What he's insinuating is that they agreed to embargos and then repeatedly broke them, claiming it was "better for users".

Regardless of whether it is, you should expect the result of that to be that nobody trusts them with embargoes.

To me it seems more correct to say:

Again though:

- and it won't hurt me directly as far as I understand

- I still have a sketchy feeling about what this will lead to in the future

I didn't mean it didn't make sense grammatically, just that it's not really something people use in the way they do here in the U.S.

Anecdotal, but growing up surrounded by Russians and consuming Russian media daily, "я тебя люблю" as a phrase is something I've heard uttered by others maybe a dozen times, ever, compared to American culture where it's omnipresent and not uncommon to use many times a day.

Movies and books do talk about love, of course, Russian poetry especially expresses love in a truly amazing way. But the article is referring to the frequent conversational use and Western importance of "I love you", and in that sense, there's a major cultural difference. Didn't know about the historical context behind it - that's an interesting point.
Accio is a web-based search tool for Software teams that helps boost productivity and promote knowledge sharing.

This all started when we built this tool to help our fellow software project team members. All around us we saw that that software development/support teams, had to access a minimum of FIVE SYSTEMS to get their job done. Defects/Issue Systems, Document Systems, Source Code Systems, Emails etc. Consequently, they were spending significant amount of time searching for information, and not actually getting their work done.

Accio provides a single window access across all these systems. It also uses orders the search results based on the role of the searcher.

Accio is currently available as an on-premise installation. You can download, configure and start searching in a matter of hours.

In Belarusian language we have two different "love" words.
There is one "love" [кахаю - ka-ha-you] for "I love [ka-ha-you] you / her / him",
and there is another one which we use in any other case, like "I love
English language". The latter cannot be used when you express your
feelings for another person. Oddly enough, I don't think we use ka-ha-you
in "I love myself" that often, most likely there will be the same "love"
word as in "I love English language".

This is literally the one thing "the systemd people" -- which is to say, Red Hat -- fell back on when their backs were to the wall after having their short list of sales pitch lies refuted. If none of the other supposed benefits were benefits or actually true, at least systemd would make our systems boot faster. Red Hat leaned on this hard throughout the process which culminated in the exclusively political decision (i.e. not based on merit) by the Debian TC chairman to completely replace existing init in "the rock-solid stability distro" with such unstable, buggy, immature software.

Here's a fun project idea: Plot the boot times of machines running systemd (and some control) over time, and I'm willing to bet you'll see a substantial increase in boot time immediately subsequent to the systemd decision by the Debian TC.

They did. These days “Minecraft” officially refers to the new version, while what you are talking about is called “Minecraft: Java Edition”. As of now, both are maintained, though people are afraid that Java Edition is being phased out in favor of the new one. Main reasons for people preferring the Java Edition is modability and availability of an official server software for self-hosting.

Wow thanks for your post. I had to look up and I was surprised that antibiotics can damage your mitochondria. But it makes sense because I was told, back in biology, the mitochondria were actually a bacteria and "swallowed up" by mammal cells. (forgive me, that's a extremely trivial recall of my memories and I am not an expert in this field)

If you are interested (and very brave, there are risks here), apparently there is a SARM that can help your mitochondria grow back. It's called Stenabolic SR9009. I have never tried it (because I have no need), but I'd be interested in what you think about it. You can find information on it online, I don't want to post anything because I am not qualified to vet the information -- information is all over the web however.
Not surprised a bit. Usually the reason crime is flourishing in those parts is because there is protection from withing the judicial and executive branches of the government. The police and judges are often part of, if not the ones running many of the crime rings.

There is also the part where the Ukrainians then went on to blackmail Ieremenko, threatened to extradite him and asked him for a bribe. He paid up. Of course the go-between guy doubled the blackmail price (think big, right?), got his 50% share then forwarded the rest to the intel agency. And then Ieremenko realizes he couldn't be extradited anyway because Ukraine doesn't do that with its citizens! The article then says "the pair fell out when Ieremenko discovered he had been duped". I am surprised they hadn't had a boating accident of some sort, or fell on a knife, backwards a few times.

> Meaning it drives up the market price even before you consider the effect of reducing the # of outstanding shares (fewer shares > higher EPS > higher stock price at a given P/E multiple).

These aren't two separate effects. The interaction between the buyback and the order-book is the mechanism through which the stock price is adjusted to take into account the smaller number of shares.
The side of Amazon that works in offices and makes good money also has a reputation as a bad place to work, compared to other major tech companies. See the "Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk" article from the NYT a few years back. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-... Anecdotally, as you say, that does seem to depend a lot on your department--good local management can make a lot of difference--but you don't see anywhere near that many horror stories coming out of Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. It does seem that Amazon, as a company, is less concerned about the welfare of its white-collar employees.

And if they don't mind abusing their highly paid, highly skilled knowledge workers, I would be amazed if they gave a single fuck about their unskilled laborers.
What? They are planting "genetic deserts" of hundreds of acres ofof industrial trees. Biodiversity is lost, habitat is lost because these are not the age, type and woodland mix of plants that made an aan actual habitat. Rows as far as the eye can see of lumber pine trees are no more of a proper habitat than mile after mile of cotton or rice or almonds in the CA central valleyvalley are a reasonable replacement for the habitat and biodiversity that was there previously, not to mention the critical loss of micro wetlands.

Last year, for some reason, I was so emotionally invested in an interview at Amazon I was researching their leadership principles and such like some sort of bootlicking rube. I'm very glad I didn't get that job. Whatever Jeff Bezos' vision is matters not to me, and I can't wait until America decides to put community and quality before convenience and cheapness (I may wait forever, I know).

I suppose the reason I was so invested was the idea that if I had that job on my resume, I could get a job anywhere. Doesn't seem like a good reason to do something.
You added a word there. The prior claim was that they didn't get them, fullstop.

From Milton Friedman: "Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."

GDP increasing faster than inflation is certainly an indicator of this especially when you consider other countries GDPs are increasing past inflation as well.

Some wisdom that's not easy to imagine for ourselves, but statistically..

"Looking back on my high school years, all my relatives tried to talk me, a top-ranking student, into majoring in science or finance in college. But I was stubborn enough to stay with my favorite subject, literature.

Now I understand them. They knew very well that in life, things can easily fall apart, and that those degrees are a promise of a steady, good-paying job, and perhaps a ticket to freedom, too."

Feeling the shadow of how things can fall apart easily can be delayed until one's 30's or 40s for the privileged, but everyone will see it.

The purpose of a union is to pool the power of all the workers together and use that combined power to achieve things which the individuals themselves never could alone. Really big things. Like, we have weekends, maternity leave, and OSHA thanks to unions big.

Tech workers are indeed a global force and in a world that increasingly requires global solutions - think climate change, migration crises, etc. - a union that leverages the power of all tech workers would be really useful right about now.

If a company is allocating more profit to buybacks, that doesn't funge against R&D or employee salaries. It funges against dividends and retained earnings.
