I remember people saying the same last year.
Currency is a product of culture. There is no homogeneous culture. You can't design a perfect experiment here. It's not an accident, that's not what survivor bias is, it's just that it's also not "gold is valuable because god himself ordained it and therefor it always will be until the end of all time".

Gold is valuable because we decided it's valuable. Other things have been used as currency, but people simply decided that gold is a good thing to use as a basis of an economy.

The fact that our current culture says gold is valuable because in the past it had been repeatedly valuable and therefor it will be valuable in the future is an illogical statement because of the part at the end. You can't predict the future. You can't actually know that the train of thought that made gold valuable in the past/present will keep running in the future. Maybe we move to away from capitalism and skills are more useful. Maybe a giant meteor full of gold is found and it becomes less valuable than silver or platinum or uranium or any other semi-rare stable element.

The point is, trade goods have their value tied up in need instead of perception and currencies are the opposite. Hoarding gold has shown to work in the past when. This has less barring on it's value in 100 years than you're trying to say.

From a different perspective, Trips was surprisingly annoying for me! I had a team we're I'd need to approve other people's trips which would automatically show up as my own in calendar etc. This was especially annoying when our trips would overlap to the same destination. Unfortunately, it didn't have an easy way to mark what was my trip and what wasn't in any sort of repeatable fashion.
It's recommended that iodine/iodide (1,000 mcg+; add 200 mcg L-selenomethionine when taking higher amounts) and vitamin E (2 IU/g) are added when supplementing PUFAs. Iodide/Iodine binds with double bonds making the structure less prone to oxidation and vitamin E counters oxidation.

Most don't get enough vitamin D (and magnesium) even if eating well. 40-60 ng/mL 25(OH)D is a commonly preferred range.
I couldn't have said it better myself! They tried to sell it as the possible evolution of Gmail. Not some 'experiment' that would partially flow into the Gmail they asked us to abandon for Inbox in the first place.
Why No IPv6?
Reminders also worked with hyperlinks and on Android you can share links with Inbox, saving it for later. Nifty feature and a great way of quickly transferring a link between multiple devices.

> I'm not sure about Steam, but there are plenty of horror stories on the internet about "bought X on Y platform and then Y revoked account".

The worst part about this is that it often happens when consumers exercise their legitimate rights to e.g. chargebacks. And yes, Steam does it too: if you chargeback a Steam purchase, even a fraudulent one where the CC company sides with you after the investigation, usually this will result in your account getting locked and held hostage until you undo the chargeback and eat the cost.
It's a problem in mobile comms too. There's a concept called timing advance: in order for TDMA frames to arrive in the correct time slot and not crap all over the neighbouring frames from other users, they have to be sent earlier by the handset, depending on the distance from the base station.

(At least it's not GPS where the orbit speed plus lack of gravity means you have to factor relativity into the mix too!)

I agree. I maintained a pretty clean inbox without 10s of rules. And as you said, never forgot to reply. I actually checked even my promo emails because I had them appear only once a day and I can delete them all in one click after reading them. Google keeps taking away the good products instead of figuring out how to get wider acceptance. Inbox definitely had a learning curve but it was worth it.

If anyone has a good alternative please share
This is really not rocket science - is a mathematical model required, and even reflective, of reality here?
As a self-taught programmer that has had to go back to get "cs fundamentals", half of interview questions feel like that - if you just know about x or y data structure for this particular edge case, everything becomes simple/easy.
I disagree. Vendors "get away with it" because "purchase" is, in practice, a more accurate description of the transaction than "rental." Everyone knows what a movie rental is--it is where you have access to a movie for some fixed, usually short (a few days) period of time. A "purchase" on iTunes does not fit into the mold of what people think of as a rental. The fact that there are some conditions attached doesn't change that result.

Note that this also comports with what "purchase" means as a legal matter. You can "purchase" land and get an interest short of a fee simple absolute. E.g. your interest might be preempted by the occurrence of some event. Such an interest is still an ownership interest, as opposed to a leasehold (rental) interest.

The UK government is democratic on paper, sure. But in reality, does anyone know who their MP is? [0]

Five year terms? [1]

Total lack of responsiveness [2]

lack of real democratic accountability [3]

Sure, it looks democratic, but in reality it's not.[4] Particularly when the UK parliament doesn't even initiate (propose) legislation: ministers are appointed by the government, and are not elected to their position. And civil servants write the legislation before it goes to parliament.

[0] In 2013, 3/4 people could not name their MP. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22555659

[1] Five years unless there is a supermajority or the loss of a no confidence vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-term_Parliaments_Act_201...

[2] Numerous examples of this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/how-responsive-your-mp... https://www.writetothem.com/stats/2015/mps

[3] There is an ability to recall MPs, but they need to have breached the parliamentary code bad enough to be suspended from sitting for a number of days or engaged in criminal behaviour and been duly sentenced. The current UK government is actively trying to strip people of voting rights who do not have the money for suitable photo ID (minimum £34)

[4] The UK's first-past-the-post electoral system means that the majority of votes do not matter.

Was the SE about size or price? I thought it was about price, and coincidentally was smaller. If it's the other way around, then you're right. But then my whole world view on Apple's product lineup kind of gets confused.
I send and receive text, sound, and images on my phone. I don't need a revolutionary anything to do that, and the only thing keeping me upgrading is eternal bloat of applications.

What would really be revolutionary is a phone that wouldn't shatter when I drop it.
iPhone SE started at $349. iPhone 7 starts at $449, so somewhat more expensive.

Not to mention if the product isn't the "best" they've ever made, what good is it? Saying "best" at a new product announcement might as well be replaced with "newest". And how stupid does that sound?
Yes, I do believe that, and yes Type II (not Type 1). According to Dr. Greger there is mounting evidence that fat is the cause, and that problems processing carbs is the symptom. Here are his videos with many studies cited: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/diabetes/. Or Google type 2 diabetes and vegans. Here is the first thing I found: https://veganhealth.org/type-2-diabetes-in-vegans/. I'll take a 68% lower rate as some evidence. Vegans, by the way, are people who eat "too many plants and not enough animals". It helps with certain diseases.
Not surprising, developing new features for iOS isn't Google's highest priority, they're targeting where most of the installed userbase is.

Similar effects can be seen in the OTT market. Roku gets new features from Sling, Netflix and the other OTT players first, with Chromecast and Fire TV lagging by months or years, and these 2nd tier players are missing Amazon Prime Video (Chromecast) or YouTube (Fire TV) respectively. It seems much like the music sales market IMO...
On the one hand they can delete stuff which is kind of bad. On the other you can just download it from bittorrent which sort of gets around the issue.
Also, let's not forget that there are outages with AWS as well that take down quite a few services [0]. To me, this post seems like an easy way to take a cheap shot at Microsoft and get their name out there while doing so.

I wonder if Apple/ARM has now peaked in performance too (same as what happened with intel 4-5 years ago). "Up to 15% faster" is not noticeable outside the realm of benchmarks.
It's the same bullshit with AppStore purchases!

I was absolutely pissed when trying to re-install a rather expensive game (The Secret of Monkey Island) only to discover that I can't, because Disney yanked it from the AppStore after purchasing LucasArts. I paid for the damn thing, I used it then and I need it now. Talking to Apple is like talking to a f#cking wall. Absolutely pointless. Apparently I should've been making versioned backups of my iThing in order to preserve the binary. That was their actual reply. Ain't it something?

Caveat emptor, basically.
This is just a pedantic disagreement about what "distributed" means. It's all about context.

You are also limited in recourse if Valve screws you over. If a retailer seriously screws me over and I'm not able to resolve the issue with them I can always resort to doing a chargeback.

Most people I talk with in my peer group wouldn't even think of getting an all-electric car (except maybe as a secondary vehicle), due to range anxiety. However, what I think will happen over the next 20 years (with battery improvement, etc) is more and more hybrids and plugin hybrids. For example, see Ford's plans starting in 2020.

But the plugin hybrids won't be sold as "fuel efficient", but sold as "more powerful". However once people start doing most of their driving in all-electric mode, that will cause many gas stations to go out of business (since they run on razor thin margins). That will then be the push to make the leap to all electric in the following generation. In other words, I fully expect plug-in hybrids to be the bridge to all electric.

Where the hell did this ridiculous talking point come from? Do you actually know what "law" even is? Of course someone in another jurisdiction can blow off law from another polity if they feel like including when dealing with that polity's citizens, and in turn said polity can try to pursue action against them. But if they do not travel their and have no asset exposure there and their own country has a reasonable level of power and protectiveness of its citizens then the likely responses tend to be limited and passive in nature, such as internet censorship orders.

I mean, this should be utterly obvious given that most Westerners are not complying either laws around the world constantly. We can and do criticize the leadership and governments of any and every country as is our right in ways that are absolutely illegal according to those countries, just for one simple example. The EU is free to get some help from China and make a Great Firewall of their own and censor the net, but if an American blows off something of theirs that is legal in the US and they come demanding the US enforce their law they will get told to pound sand. I mean, this isn't even just normal discretion, in some cases Congress has even flat out made it illegal for the US to honor foreign judgements, such as the 2010 SPEECH Act which rendered all foreign libel judgements unenforceable, unless it's a country that has a direct equivalent to the First Amendment of equal enforcement (I'm aware of zero countries in the world where this is the case) or the defendant would be liable if tried in the US, which in practice means basically any enforcement faces a near insurmountable bar.

Never used Inbox after an initial look, mainly due to trust issues. How did this work? What if bundles missed an email related to a trip, did you then have to (1) know it went missing, and (2) find it from some hidden place and expend extra time? With these products I get the feeling that it may be amortizing rare occurrences over the most mundane usage.

I think you mean Lytro, which definitely came to mind during the keynote. Specifically, when they said that it had never been possible to change DOF in photos before. I was listening carefully to see if they would qualify that with "smartphone photography" — but they didn't. I think Lytro's tech beat them to the punch by around a decade.
I disagree with your disagreement. In the common layman's mind, if you "purchase" something, then the company should not be able to take it back from you.

Especially since it's not like Apple is guaranteeing that you get to keep the product for a minimum amount of time. They could just as well delete your purchase a minute after you bought it.

There isn't a single human on planet earth who thinks of such a transaction that gets withdrawn after one minute as a regular legitimate "purchase" of a product. Even "rental" doesn't quite cut it, it's more in the land of "fraud".

Its earlier fear was for _its own data_, where it had skin in the game: "Investigators from the company and the FBI came to view events at Equifax as potentially a huge theft of data—not of consumers’ personal data, as happened with the subsequent 2017 hacking of Equifax’s files, but of confidential business information."

Loss of info it collected on the rest of us is no skin off its nose and falls under the Don't Care category.

I love that Lua uses one-based numbering, if only to point out undesirable developers who don't understand the difference between offset and count.

You don't work with pointer arithmetic directly in Lua syntax, so why would you need offsets?

Complaints about ~= as the negation of equality are as petty as well. The syntax in question isn't just used by Lua, either, and it usually tells me that a developer can't respect differences between languages.

There doesn't seem to be much going on there? Over 13 repos, there are like 5 issues, all open, with one response that seems to be from some other user who just randomly wandered in? There are a few commits and a couple of branches, but no releases. Also a couple really ancient forks. This looks like a random person's GitHub page, not a software company's.

They also don't have any links to their GitHub pages on their site. This isn't how organizations normally use GitHub. One suspects they're just using it as a CDN without engaging with any of the coding or social features. Perhaps GitHub has some sort of trigger when particular resources get requested over and over without any referer? Why not just use GitHub normally? Failing that, why not just use a CDN?
