Even in the 90s BBS experience on a C64 was pretty dismal. Everybody was running 80x24 screens and the operators had to assume it was safe.

Shame too, because ANSI artists could have done some even more impressive works with the PETSCII character set but the world had already moved on by that point.

There is (or at least was, not sure if it is still maintained) a version of Contiki for the C64, for which as far as I know also a GUI toolkit existed.
I suggest trying Brave for browsing. It already handles this very well.

It lacks the great developer environment that Chrome or Firefox has.

Though if you're developing, you should probably have multiple browsers open part of the time anyways...
This makes me sad. It was the main reason I started running the beta -- because I foolishly thought they already had the beta of CarPlay support, since it was shown in the keynote. I only found out later that the keynote was just vaporware.
Prop 47 happened at the end of 2014, while the trend on those charts started at least 10 years ago. If anything, it looks like 2015 was a notably bad year with little decrease over the previous year.

There doesn't seem to be anything to support that idea.
From the arstechnica benchmarks (linked in another comment on this page), it looks on par with iOS 10.
Almost certainly they would, and there might be some small banks out there they could buy or merge with. That would get them out of a lot of legal issues, and also buy them some relevant legal expertise.

However, I seem to recall WalMart investigating this option a while back, and it never happened. It may be that the more you look at the option of becoming a bank, the more it looks like it would take over your life/business. Also, there are doubtless many lobbyists who the existing banks employ who would try to stop it.
Why It’s Advantageous to Be a Small Startup
Ok this still seems like a problem with enforcement and not with the law. We should not need increased sentences simply to get police protection from nuisance behavior. Undue inflation of consequences for smaller crimes has many negative side effects for our society - including increased cost of incarceration and long-term negative productivity of citizens. This is why these crimes were reduced in their sentencing - it seems like enforcement needs to catch up on a new balance.
Hm, last time I counted, there are three implementations of libp2p (networking stack from IPFS) in Golang, JavaScript and Rust. Multiformats are also implemented in 5+ languages. The official core implementations are two right now (JS + GO) but there are probably more around, but I personally haven't seen them. Well, one C or C++ as well but cannot find the link for that one right now.

But I agree that in general there are not as many implementations and/or specifications as with BitTorrent.
Yes. Years back we moved from Elavon to Stripe since 2.9% on each transaction sure beat uncertain 1.9-5% we were getting based on what card customer was using (corporate and point cards carried bigger fee).

Some people are allergic to so many things, with such sensitivity, that nearly all foods contain some percentage of something they're allergic to (even if it's only trace amounts). In that case, consuming nothing but water effectively assures a food allergy-free experience for the duration of the fast. If they're allergic to things found in water as well, then I'm not sure what the best solution is.
Yes, it’s been completely different compared to both iOS 10 and 11 betas where the latter can barely be called stable even in the GM release. I hope it’s the fruits of some change in engineering.
Just pick the English readme ;)
My point in the first paragraph is more that Amazon is only able to pay that amount because the government steps in. If there were no government aid, then they would need to pay more or not hire people. I'm skeptical that the jobs are worth less than $7.25 an hour to them. It's just in their interest to extract as much value as possible from the employees. If they couldn't find people to do it for 7.25, I suspect they would pay more, not that they would cut the jobs.

Shameless plug: I've tried DDG in the past and didn't like that they weren't completely open source. I've been developing https://jivesearch.com and it is similar to DDG with all the !bangs and tons of instant answers. It offers better privacy IMO because it is 100% open source and you can run it on your own server or even locally. Plus, we aren't hosted on AWS.
Yes, it is well documented and you can easily find examples. But for atypical use cases you won't find a very lively community to discuss with (and with Bittorrent, there is not a lot of variety in use cases). There's just less activity around building new things. At least that's been my experience.

> More important is the tremendous advantage quantum computers will give is in materials science, chemistry, and biology. Suddenly we'll be able to efficiently simulate large molecules and their interactions.

Is that true? It seems to me that to simulate those sorts of bulk materials or biopolymers with a quantum computer would require as many qbits as exists in the material. at that point the most effective quantum computer for that molecule becomes the molecule itself.
In my personal experience, and from reading what pretty much all other beta testers have said, iOS 12 is faster and more stable than any iOS 11 release.

Initial GPS signal acquisition is power intensive, but if it is already tracking, then there should be no incremental cost to read the time information.

GPS time tends to be very precise as well. In the NTP world, (simplifying greatly) GPS can serve as a reliable “stratum 0” time source which feeds stratum 1 servers, which go on to feed the rest of the NTP network.

In Norway there are also suggestions to shorten the working time to 6 hours. But why not to give an extra day-of instend? Petsonally i strongly prefer the latter as with 6 working hours one still spends substantial time to get to/from work.

In Moscow where some people spends over 4 hours just to get to work companies started to offer 10 hours of work time in return to extra day off.
If the majority of the profit really is made by the 'subsidy' or delta between what companies can get away paying vs. the value provided by the low-skill worker, then it would be easy for other companies to come in and take advantage of that margin. Arbitrage should drive down the gap.

Few want to consider the more likely harsh truth: The overall value produced by some low-skilled workers may be insufficient to justify even minimum wage.

If that's the case, then no amount of legislation around working conditions will help since it makes more economic sense for companies to invest in automation than human capital.

Nobody expects James Bond movie to be factually correct. People do expect news media to be at least close to it. However, frequently they are worse than fiction movies (at least some of the fiction movies don't go out of their way to distort the narrative at the service of whatever agenda item the reporter feels like pushing).
On top of that, the number of people getting assistance will be lower, so we can increase the support per person while still decreasing spending overall.

I think that as long as it's still possible to desperately search for a job and not find one, assistance should be available. e.g. https://twitter.com/ForgetAmnesia/status/1041720689311440897 https://twitter.com/ForgetAmnesia/status/1041729497895186432

https://perkeep.org/ is the new(ish) name for Camlistore, created by Brad Fitzpatrick and with a lot of active developers.

From the home page (rather than the linked overview):

> Perkeep (née Camlistore) is a set of open source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing and synchronizing data in the post-PC era. Data may be files or objects, tweets or 5TB videos, and you can access it via a phone, browser or FUSE filesystem.

Things Perkeep believes:

+ Your data is entirely under your control

+ Open Source

+ Paranoid about privacy, everything private by default

+ No SPOF: don't rely on any single party (including yourself)

+ Your data should be alive in 80 years, especially if you are

“AWS started as spare Amazon.com capacity” has been debunked by senior AWS leadership.
In our experience Datomic has been quite the disappointment. Datalog is great, the rest is less so. Off the charts and unpredictable memory consumption, slow queries with no hope of optimization (we're talking 2.3seconds/100k rows) unexplainable dataloss. So many great ideas, sketchy implementation. Cant say if the Cloud version is better, we never tried.
Please don't be unnecessarily rude. Someone is sharing a thing that they think is valuable and is decently fleshed out. If you want to be valuable, I'd love to know why you won't try the method/project/product. That feedback could help the developers.
Which is why I have been crying for an iOS Time Capsule.

I don't want to touch iTunes and do computer backup, that is like a very geeky way do it and most people in China don't even have Laptop or Desktop. If they can make Dual Sim and other features targeting the Chinese market; Apple's second biggest market, why cant they make Time Capsule specifically for China. ( Making it China only will likely piss off the Chinese Government. They could release it worldwide to avoid this.)

The servers are entitled to send what data they want. The client is entitled to accept what and how they render it. That is how the protocols work. The servers can block visitors who don't login or load the ads but that has its own costs as they often find them not worth unblocking and just stop visiting.

Given the security issues involved with ads as a vector, general abusiveness, and poor programming leading to memory leaks and insane waste blocking by default is wise.

Even big ad networks have been caught hosting outright viruses from lack of vetting. There is no right to a business model and they have no right to access client systems.
Whoa. Why does that happen?

The first call does indeed compile down to a tight loop of around 10 instructions. However, the second call compiles down to around 62 instructions - even though it is exactly the same code!

That seems like a bug rather than a consequence of tracing JITs, isn't it?

Macros are one possibility, but they require global knowledge at compile time, which is at odds with the dynamic nature of scripting languages.

Suppose you want to write a function `f` which takes some object `x` and calls `str(x)` on it. If you know the type of `x` at compile time, it's a simple matter to substitute `str(x)` with `x.str()`, if you know it contains a `str()` method. The other code would look like this:

(define-global str (x)
(if (and (obj? x) (get x 'str))
(call (get x 'str))
... else stringify `x` as normal
))

i.e. you'd have to write a `str` function that checks the type of `x` at runtime, incurring a cost.

A strongly typed language is one possibility, but it seems like we could do better by tracing at runtime. When you know that `x` has a method `.str()`, shouldn't it be possible to replace all instances of `str(x)` with `x.str()` at the call sites themselves? Just recompile all the functions that call `str(x)`. Then you can even inline the str() method's code directly into the call site.
I was asked by Apple Mexico $350 to replace the battery on a retina MBP with the excuse that they have to replace the complete top panel (battery, keyboard, trackpad, etc).

The initial price was closer to $600 but I got a discount because they buy the old part from me.

Of course I said no. I will try to do it myself for less than $100 with a battery I bought from Ebay.

That fails to address my points, either that there will be a cost in false positives (have fun stopping that), or that the motivation for making political hay out of this is partisan advantage from the false positives, not actually reducing a threat to democracy.

We could go partial French Revolutionary, and have 36 10-day weeks at +3-1+3-3, plus an intercalary partial week at -5 or -6. Since we're not [all] French, the days of the week would be renamed as follows: Workday, Bluesday, Grindsday, Humpday, Schmerkday, Slogsday, Highday, Lazyday, Gamesday, and Chillsday. This would be referred to as the "Bactrian week", and the previous +5-2 week a "Dromedary week". The partial week shall be "Festivus Week".

For essential personnel, they cover all days of the week by working a rotating schedule of 9-day cycles (+3-1+3-2) plus one vacation week of 9 days off in a row, which adds to the previous 2-day weekend for a total of 11 consecutive days off. Festivus has staggered 3 on, 2 off, at double pay. Employees draw straws at 60% probability for working a leap day.

There's no need to rename the months. Years start on January 1st and follow Gregorian leap day rules.

I think the argument was that at any given level of compensation, being an international worker motivates you more. So the fact that compensation can also motivate people misses the point.

They've been allowed to post on the store for a couple of days, I think. I installed a bunch of updates yesterday and most of them were "Added Siri Shortcuts support."
There were issues with the scheduler in the kernel code in iOS 11 that IIRC had lingered since iOS 7. The difference can be pretty remarkable. Basically iOS can ramp up resources where they are needed much more quickly, so one might say it’s using the CPU more efficiently. It eliminates a lot of stuttering for me. I was worried it might come at the cost of battery life but I haven’t seen many differences there besides some iteration during the beta.
Yahoo, actually, if you insist that DDG is not a fair search engine on its own. Both shown very similar results on my areas of interest.
It seems weird that deletion is prohibited. As we grow as people, sometimes we no longer want to associate something with ourselves. A photo we don't want to remember, for instance. This feels like an unnecessary restriction.
It's an interesting question, but a sample size of 2 doesn't necessarily answer it. Maybe the rich do work more hours on average, but is it because they are appropriately compensated for hard work?

Is there an argument why being an international worker would motivate you more other than attempting to get a higher salary than you can locally? I don't want to use the words "desperation", but it seems as if that is the impetus to hire international workers, who are desperate for US wages without being protected by US labor law (in most cases, you're going to operate as a contractor in your home country when employed by a US firm, without labor protections you'd have as a US or local country employee). It is a hack by US corporations around US market wages and labor protections, one that I'm unable to endorse until labor protections apply to the business relationship.

Just because something is a misdemeanor doesn't mean nothing happens. If you are convicted with a misdemeanor you still cam get a fine, community service, probation (and violating parole IS a felony), and even a jail sentence of up to 12 months. For theft of less than $1000 that sounds like a perfectly reasonable punishment.

I don't know why police aren't responding to these calls, but it's not because those committing these crimes aren't going to face a (reasonable) punishment.

> People are also generally not that good at figuring out what they're willing to pay for something.

I like to think about it this way:

1) what is the highest price I could charge without looking like an idiot for charging too much?

2) what is the lowest price I could charge without looking like an idiot for charging too little?

Now I have a price interval.

If it's SaaS, I set the highest price for the shortest subscription period (ex., 1 month), and the lowest price for the longest subscription period (ex., 12 months), while adding additional options in-between (ex., 3 months, 6 months).

This way, I feel like both sides are getting a fair deal, and nobody loses.
Been using the beta on my 6S for the last month or so and the speed increase is noticable.
