It’s been uneven as usual. There have been stories of apps being rejected because they mentioned new features or iOS 12 in the release notes even though other apps have been able to do that.
I couldn't agree more.

Up to now it has been near impossible for third party solutions to end up on terminals. I've seen these new Verifone terminals and they are awesome. I can't wait to see what comes of these.
Also, the name is pretty terrible. I'd never dare say to my friends "join me on scuttlebutt"
I wonder if Mozilla has something to offer which will let Apple fund them. Because sooner or later Google is going to dump Mozilla. Clearly, Apple has the money and they could probably get some of the regular heat off themselves by moving some of their offshore money back into the US through mozilla.
> How do you determine real value and how is your determination of real value the correct one?

I try to answer the question: "Is it worth this amount of money for what it does, if it does it perfectly well?". I don't care about marketing and branding, and focus only on the product itself. If the value seems to be too low, I try to improve the product, not the marketing.

I think Tinder does an extremely great job at pricing using age-based segmentation, because that's where the real value of the service defers to the users. It's not that people above 30 can just afford to pay more - they literally can't afford not pay, since they don't have as many options.
But if you understood what GP meant well enough to correct him, is there a sense in which GP hadn't misspelled?
I try to put as much on paper or a digital equivalent of it as possible. My co-founder and I have habit of writing everything we hear, read about, or learn down so we can come back to it later. If it's for personal use - keep a word doc and just write down thoughts and discoveries, perhaps with links or references for you to re-read and re-visit later.
For our business at http://Airdyme.io we keep a collection of spreadsheets pertaining to customer research, product development, fundraising and other activities. The more you can document the better. I believe even Airbnb's co-founder have mentioned a habit of writing down all kinds of crazy ideas on a simple notepad. You can watch that video here: https://vimeo.com/23275754
It seems to me that it is generally better to keep architecture-specific memory commands as part of a platform-based library that is imported into the code, depending on where it is being compiled (Separation-of-concerns). Imagine the amount of inappropriate/unnecessary commands that one would create in a language if you moved the superset of all possible memory commands on all possible architectures, into the language itself. There would be enough to make it ugly.
I don't know, I really don't have much experience with either. But my impression is that the skills for both rapidly change. So I wouldn't attach any specific skills or companies to my longterm career goals, I'd want to pay attention to market trends.
more transpiler than compiler...but close enough!
Wow, thank you for the extremely thorough answer!
Yes, I expect field engineers back in the 1960s would have found the problem much faster than we did. They had oscilloscopes and test equipment, so we don't have much advantage there. They would be much more familiar with the system and wouldn't need to keep looking stuff up like we did. Plus, they would be motivated by anxious customers breathing down their necks demanding a quick fix.
If you’ve used any sort of ADAS this is old news.
Interesting.

I suppose that consistency could’ve given some EU only companies enough rope to hang themselves. Really, doing things the right way is easier than hand-writing some code that assumes DST starts/ends on a fixed date—at least in a language with a real date/time library.
I actually drink distilled or deionized water during my fasts. This is what was available on my first long fast and I've done it since.

Every "correlation" reason I've seen anyone come up with still looks pretty much like discrimination done in a round-about way, or at least could be seen as such in front of a jury. Still, I could be surprised.

In my experience (a very long way from SV) a significant proportion of excellent programmers did not do SE degree but had degrees in some other area. My analysis suggests that critical thinking, ability to comprehend requirements and do good design are critical skills and can be developed in many related fields.

Yes but the point of this law is to support advanced nuclear R&D, and some of the GenIV designs look very economical; in particular, the simpler molten salt designs. They're really a completely different technology than conventional reactors.

Do you feel private organisations and communities shouldn't be able to kick out people they dislike? Because that's how almost all organisations and groups work, real life, internet or otherwise.

Do you feel like people should be excluded because of their race? Their gender? Their age? Their sexual orientation? Their religion? Isn't that last one a choice according to a lot of people?

People should be able to make intimate temporary spaces which will sometimes even be exclusionary. However, permanent places in the public sphere should not be exclusionary. When the majority of a society starts feeling free to push around a minority, this is when oppression happens. This is especially true when it comes to politics. People should have freedom of association, so long as it doesn't interfere with other's freedom to pursue happiness.

Doesn't seem very unreasonable to say someone running a hobbyist club or sports team or business should be able to kick out someone they/the people involved can't get along with.

Activists have been seen colluding online, planning to deny their political enemies their hobbies and pastimes. It's called, "No escapism," and it's just a stealth form of harassment for political purposes. In the end, progress is best served by welcoming differences, talking, and sincerely interacting. You don't fight hate by acting hatefully. If you can at all help it, you shouldn't try to reduce violence through violence. You don't increase the world's tolerance by refusing tolerance.

Here's a good litmus test: Are the tactics you're proposing to use similar to the ones people used to use against gay people, or people of the "wrong" religion, or people of the "wrong" race? If so, then you're probably the villain in the story.

It is a labor subsidy, because Wal-Mart is not having to pay their workers a living wage because they can simply tell their workers to sign up for public assistance. I don't care about the nit-picky "Is it a direct labor subsidy or is it a wage subsidy" arguments; Wal-Mart benefits because they can pay lower wages and tell their employees to get public assistance. That's the story in its entirety. Wal-Mart is big enough, they can pay a living wage; they don't need my help.
Speaking only for myself (again, white/male/old/straight), I'm okay with that, too. It does feel like there's a bias against my groups right now, but this mostly annoys me due to the dummy interview problem I mentioned.

Never, ever, ever isn't a reasonable expectation. You have no guarantee that they won't rip up the constitution and enslave you tomorrow. But you can expect it not to happen because you're a reasonable person and because the laws mean something, if not everything.

Only tangentially related to the article but... I'm left to wonder about the photograph selected. His left hand appears to be on a stack of 20-year old HP 9000s (maybe rp3440, pre-grey box?), and standing across from a rack full of ancient 4U systems mounted into 2-post relay racks. The white blanking panels are early 2000's-era HP kit, and in the background are racks full of tower systems stacked vertically.

Is this a recent photo? Do they have a computer history museum @ UCB or is that datacenter actually running production workloads on that kit?
That’s mostly a function of controlling your own CPU architecture, as android IHVs are heavily dependent on updates from Qualcomm and others.

Also, while they have supported old devices, they do from time to time unceremoniously make old apps incompatible which then stop working.

Microsoft still has them beat in terms of backwards app compatibility in Os upgrades and MS did it over a diverse ecosystem of hardware which is far more costly.

A tiny Pacific island, formerly covered in rainforest, now mostly desert after having been mined for phosphate. Without plant cover, its groundwater is going brackish. Also, Australia detains migrants there. Or rather, a private company detains migrants there on behalf of the Australian government.

Those huge forges are needed for conventional reactors, which operate with at least 90 atmospheres of pressure, and sometimes up to 150 or so.

They're not needed for fast reactors or molten salt reactors, which operate at atmospheric pressure. That's one of many reasons they're expected to be cheaper. The purpose of this law is to support R&D for those types of reactors.
I think the real question is which Google year has DDG reached feature/quality with? Eg. is DDG as good as Google circa 2010?

As soon as you pose this question, whatever the answer, you will realize that your life was pretty fine with google in 20xx. You didn't feel pain or frustration then, why are you feeling that now?
FWIW, my liberal friends also often don't lean towards insults and mocking. Rather, shaming and silencing seem more common (at least in recent years).

Maybe I'm missing something here but what can't you do on Android without logging in (other than Google services of course)?

Thanks, couldn't have said it better myself.

I was initially pretty concerned about the safety of water-only fasting. It appeared so extreme. After spending two weeks fasting with others who are either ill with different conditions or very healthy, I realized that it's relatively safe given good medical supervision.

When fasting on my own, I haven't fasted longer than 5 days, and I know what to watch out for now:

- I check my blood pressure and heart rate every morning

- I get up very slowly (as you can get light headed and fall if you're not careful)

- I bathe without taking a hot shower or submerge my body in hot water as this can lead to low blood pressure as well.

I built a landing page for a nonprofit I'm involved in [1] with Gatsby v2 (while it was in beta/rc), with close to no knowledge of the Webpack and React ecosystems. It's been fairly pleasant to work with, and I look forward to building more sites with it and contributing back where I can!

It was also fun to see my site achieve 100% with ease on Chrome's Lighthouse tests. I still have no idea what kind of impact it has on SEO, but every little bit helps.

Popehat has an interesting, if flawed analysis of the lawsuit. [https://www.popehat.com/2018/09/17/cave-diver-vernon-unswort...]

In a nutshell, Popehat argues that the tweets are hyperbole but not defamatory, while the email to Buzzfeed "probably" is.

On the Twitter posts. Popehat argues that in the context of Twitter, the tweets are clearly just posturing and insults. This analysis is flawed, as Elon also uses Twitter as a means of communicating with shareholders of Tesla--and has already taken the legal position with the SEC that Twitter is one of the mediums through which he communicates truthful statements to the public. Moreover, while the first Tweet could (and probably would) be regarded as just hyperbole, the followup tweets change the context. Especially the tweet in which he challenges Unsworth to sue him if the first tweet isn't true. While individually the tweets may each fall below the threshold for defamation, in the aggregate they likely would be treated as defamatory, because the pattern of multiple tweets significantly changes the context in which the first tweet was made from mere hyperbole to a factual assertion.

On the Buzzfeed email. Popehat argues that the email is only possibly defamatory. I think he needs to crack open a textbook on California defamation law. Musk called him a "child rapist" and made factual statements claiming that Unsworth had married a 12 year (i.e., was a statutory rapist) and traveled to a city apparently known to Musk to be a haven for child sex trafficking for the purposes of engaging in child sex trafficking. All of these statements were intended to be factual, and under Cali law, are per se defamatory because they make allegations that are legally considered so damaging that the simple act of making the statement is considered harmful to the reputation of the victim, even if no immediate economic harm is suffered. There is no "possibly defamatory" nonsense here. Elon deliberately made specific false factual statements. He's fucked.

Importantly for the lawsuit, Unsworth is only alleging one count of defamation--he's bundling the tweets and email together into a single count, rather than alleging each individual tweet and email as its own count. This is important, because legally it means that the tweets are being offered as part of a pattern of defamatory publications, allowing Unsworth to avoid the question of whether any particular tweet is defamatory on its own.

Elon is fucked, and the sooner he settles the smaller the settlement will be. If this gets to trial, he's looking at an 8-figures. If Unsworth proves malice--and based on the email he likely can--treble punitive damages might apply. If he settles early, he might be lucky to get by with a high 7-figure settlement. Let's hope he listens to his lawyers on this one, because if he tries to fight this, it could financially destroy him.
It's definitely faster/smoother, and the dark mode is awesome. Other than that the differences aren't that big.
Yes but many if not most people work at certain hours and don't have the flexibility to change those hours. So people can't necessarily just go outside when it's sunny.
Congrats on the release! Looks great.

Looks like Gatsby has raised a ~4m seed. I'm curious: how does Gatsby (the company) make/plan to make revenue from Gatsby (the library)? Support, hosting, or something else?
Naturally this is completely contextual and my point is whereas ~3yrs ago I could get a good burrito for $8 now they're $11 and that's about 33% inflation... Not 2% compounding.
i think the major risk for nuclear energy isn't about human death but rather economical consequences of having an entire region destroyed for 40 thousands years.

Right, some of the discriminating factors might just have correlated with age. If there are two workers with comparable skills for tasks at hand, it makes sense to fire the more expensive one. Or if there are too many workers with skills that aren't so relevant anymore, it makes sense to fire the more expensive ones.

It's worth noting that for at least some firms, there was traditionally age discrimination that favored high-seniority workers. We used to call it "loyalty". But there was also the reality that they knew important stuff, and played a role in training new workers. But with technology changing so fast, that's arguably less relevant.
It would be nice if low volume foundry costs went down an order of magnitude. I'm in a bio lab right now, but I did CS in college and really enjoyed VLSI. If I want to turn a design into a prototype in my bio lab, it's going to cost hundreds of dollars, but if I want to turn a chip I designed into reality, it's going to cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars even with specialized low volume foundries like MOSIS. I feel like it should be cheaper.
How Mars Will Be Policed
I loved 'Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World'. Do you have any book suggestions on that style? Japanese or not, I just wanted more of that weird cyberpunk/magic realism vibe.
I’m sure IBM modeled the risk and found it to be worth it.
I have no idea how this "many countries"-argument does make the waste or accident problem go away or is even related to it but actually China has not approved any new nuclear reactors between 2016 and 2017 and only 3 in 2017 which is a huge reduction. All this because of renewables. Solar is expected to become China's cheapest source of electricity, surpassing natural gas by 2020 and coal by 2030. China is ranked first in the world by installed capacity of hydropower, solar and wind. And India slashed plans for new nuclear reactors by two-thirds.

However...back to the actual topic:

> So per MWh you end up with a much, much lower casualty rate as compared to other power sources

I wonder how you get to this. How do you know how many Japanese citizens will die earlier of cancer because of Fukushima? How do you know, I won't die earlier because of Chernobyl? I mean, just comparing the accidents is ridiculous. An nuclear accident leads to dead land. You have to remove huge areas of soil and the impact through contaminated water is not even properly measurable. The costs of nuclear disasters are so far beyond every mine accident that it's not even worth mentioning. All this is a growing problem since we're faced with old nuclear reactors that are being kept alive for the sake of revenues. It's a huge issue for Germany for example being faced with old nuclear power plants leaking and breaking all the time just behind the border. This will happen more often and the poorer the country owning one is, the greater is the risk. We again didn't even touch the WASTE as you seem to avoid it at all costs. And as I've said several times over: I don't want to replace it nuclear with coal. Please stop dragging your straw man into this over and over. We are in the 21st century and there are alternatives.
