I've plugged Shapefiles into QGIS, which was able to discern the corresponding EPSG numbers.

The .prj files also contain enough information to figure out projection IDs, and various tools exist to manipulate and extract information from those files.

It looks like that webservice is a wrapper around one or many of those tools.
Sorry, if that was your thought, I’m afraid all design is probably lost on you. Which might be a blessing, since you can use whatever and can’t tell the difference anyway.
Actually an initial grant of 600K in RSU's in a FAANG would probably net that much with 4 years of rapid growth in stock price. And don't forget the cash component isn't peanuts either.
Since yours is a new account here, I have to ask. Are you part of the team there or are you just a user? How’s the support? Whenever I, as a non-customer, contacted Migadu, it seemed like nobody read the emails.

I also find the pricing logic a bit like it’s too good to be true, and am wary of providers who cannot sustain themselves.
I'm not sure if they shouldn't rethink the ITER plan now magnets are much stronger and build something like the MIT design instead (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/09/nuclear-...).

I just spotted something after updating Brave this evening. Included in the update was the version bump to Chromium 69 - and when I re-launched Brave, there was a popup saying "Here are the new features in Chrome 69", and clicking on it took me to a Google-hosted page listing all the ways in which Chrome 69 phones home for a safer, faster, more convenient browsing experience.

After having just posted here, it was...disconcerting. I'd like to give you guys the benefit of the doubt, but you may want to check a fresh update & relaunch from 0.23 to 0.24. I doubt I could reproduce (I've already clicked past it, and it was only on the first re-launch), but for a moment I was pretty confused about what browser was open (in fact, the only reason I'm certain it's Brave is because I just double-checked my Chrome and it's still on 0.68). Brave 0.24, V8 6.9.427.23, rev f657f15, macOS x64 (10.11.6 El Capitan), OS Release 15.6.0, Brave Sync v1.4.2, libchromiumcontent 69.0.3497.100.

> However, there hasn’t even been any cursory investigative reporting of the actions of the Clinton campaign despite secretly meeting with both Chinese and Russian officials. Just those meetings alone would be grounds for concern, but media outlets, in their disdain for Trump, ignored a potentially identical crime committed by Clinton’s campaign, not because it wasn’t newsworthy, but because it didn’t fit the ideological ambitions of many major “reputable” news outlets.

It's not just the news media. The justice department seems to be ignoring it too.

It's actually a selling point for me, I just can't stomach all the material design craps that Chrome forces on me where a page lost like 70% of usable space to useless whitespace.
Most mainstream physicists believe that the polywell design cannot work due to bremsstrahlung and electron cusp losses, as described by Rider. [0] Bussard and some of his followers have argued against some assumptions made in the Rider paper, but as far as I know, no one has found any loopholes big enough to allow a practical, power-producing reactor.

If you're interested in alternative fusion reactor designs, though, you might want to look into the levitated dipole. [1] There is a lot of evidence suggesting that this design avoids most of the major problems that plague tokamak development. [2][3] The remaining obstacles (as far as I can tell, mainly interchange instabilities and engineering difficulties) don't seem insurmountable to me. MIT made a serious attempt to build a levitated dipole reactor in the late 2000's, but unfortunately, the US Department of Energy cut off all funding in 2011.

Pocket is now owned by Mozilla.

I for one am glad that it exists, I love Pocket, the only annoyance I have is that the Firefox integration is not as complete as the Chrome add-on, probably because Firefox users keep bitching and moaning about it.
I would recommend Posteo, like kayoone did. Another alternative that may be even cheaper for you would be Runbox, which has lower prices for secondary accounts.
you can do this in chrome though...

> That's more like wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

What cake and eat it too? There is just Content producers producing content that they want to be compensated for and the industry agreed upon best way to do that for serving a mainstream audience is to publish free content with supporting ads.

> the onus of change is not on the consumer to make ads more profitable, but on the producer to find what is.

Wait so instead of doing what they're good at, content producers should individually be tasked with investing their resources in experimenting with different economic models to try find a viable alternative to serving content without ads? The sites with a large enough content catalog are already doing this with subscriptions, some others are using patreon, consider utilizing their ad-free content alternative when available instead of cutting off their only revenue source.
The way to make a body part sexy is to cover it and keep it covered. Letting it all hang out, all the time actually reduces sexiness.

There are huge social, psychological and emotional components to human sexuality. The physical aspects are just one piece of the equation.

There are consequences to making it all too prosaic to have everything on display and they aren't all positive by any stretch of the imagination.
Most people writing job ads spend far too little mental effort to figure out how to write a job ad: they don't read 100s of existing job ads, they don't read a book or blog posts, they don't reflect on what they're trying to achieve at that stage of the process etc.

Instead, they copy and paste phrases from existing job descriptions (internal and external). The more specific the phrase, the more likely it's not relevant to the new job, so the less likely it gets copied.

So what does the job ad contain? The most abstract and meaningless phrases collected from a bunch of existing job descriptions.

Rinse and repeat, and you get to the situation we have today.

shouldn't you use different OS users?
I think you misunderstood my example. It doesn't autocomplete domain names, it shows search results. For example, type "Hacker" and the top match might be Hacker News. Type Newton and the top hit might be the Wikipedia page for Isaac Newton. And so on. Safari searches in a bunch of sources, not just Google.

Firefox, on the other hand, only shows you searches. It might offer "Isaac Newton" as a search suggestion, but that just triggers a search. It has no knowledge of other sources of information (beyond bookmarks and history).
It has the worst UX. It doesn't show favicons on tabs. It has the worst selection of extensions: https://redditenhancementsuite.com/safari/. Everything just seems to be worse than Firefox/Chrome from the developer tools to extension development (you need Xcode).

To use Safari, you pretty much need to decide that performance / battery life are more important than anything else which only describes my needs when I need to milk my battery when it hits 10% with no electric outlet in sight.
And maybe if that functionality were in an optional extension it would be easier to add features to it for the users that want it. It's not as if it being an add-on has, in any way, hampered your ability to use it in Chrome.

It's great that you like Pocket. I think it's a bit rude to act like it's unreasonable to have qualms about how it was added (certainly pre-Mozilla owning them) or to be confused about it's inclusion while things like RSS reading/folders, (a not-uncommon browser feature) are removed.

This entire conversation wouldn't need to happen. There wouldn't be unhappy users. There wouldn't be "another side" calling criticism "bitching". They'd get active, enthusiastic user feedback, etc, etc.

> It merely translates the iOS calls into OSX ones

That is not an accurate description of what the simulator does. It is a separate userspace running on the same kernel, in this case the iOS userspace running side-by-side but isolated from the macOS userspace.

The simulator uses entirely iOS binaries, built for x86/x86-64. This includes UIKit, Foundation, libc, libdispatch, etc. It does not use the macOS ABI, nor the macOS libc/Objective-C/Swift runtimes. Each individual simulated device is its own isolated mach bootstrap, with its own separate launchd, daemons, and XPC services.

With the exception of a few libraries like the syscall interface and libpthread, which are tightly bound to the kernel.

>MS could address privacy and fee issues

I don't think privacy is a mass market appeal. Here's an experiment you could do. Stop a few random persons on the road or on the train and ask their opinion about equivax, Cambridge Analytica, and Chrome's recent privacy violations and I'm sure you'll get blank stares on 90 out of 100 people.

As for developer fees - the jumping CEO reduced the app registration fee. No one noticed. He gave the OS for free - OEMs didn't bite.

Nadella recently reduced the their store fee from 30% to 15%. And you didn't know about it.

I feel that focusing completely on consumers would get MS 95% of the push it needs. The wishes of external parties is what gave us the DRM, Youtube's content ID and much more - all anti-consumer.

Developers complained about losing revenue to piracy - voila. Microsoft built WP so that it was impossible to get apps outside the store.

Apple has "arguably" been about consumers and we can see where that led them. IMO, fuck everyone else, design consumer friendly stuff. At least that's how Google search, android, and gmail began.

Search for "gun rights" in Google, and the Wikipedia feature box on the top-right of the results page is the Gun Control article.

These days I have same feeling about Google search results as I'd with Yahoo in late 90s. They routinely fail to identify important keywords and just ignore them. I have to put quotes on important keywords for roughly quater of my queries to avoid seeing generic stuff. For at least 10-20% of my queries, things are buried deep in to page 4 or 5 because rest of the pages are taken up by people gaming the SEO or they get ranked high because of stupid viral reason. Every person I have talked to about this has echoed this sentiment wholeheartedly. It appears that no one at Google cares anymore about all these pain people are experiencing. May be Google's internal metrics would even fail to capture this dissatisfaction because people keep using it despite of issues. Thanks to monopoly, traffic doesn't just drop. The image search by image is such an old ask that they have never got around to doing properly. Kudos to Bing for keep marching despite of our collective decision to just increase our pain threshold and stick with Google.
Container tabs has that feature built in, you can say that google.com and youtube.com always automatically should open in the same container.

It's still too difficult and cumbersome to use. I might want to have one tab with gmail signed in but another to make anonymous searches on Google, both are on google domains so i have to manually fiddle with the containers again. Then you click a link in an email or search result and you don't really know if this tab should be in the mail-container, in the default container or in the domain-matched container.
You can use custom projections in PostGIS by inserting rows into the spatial_ref_sys table (no need to know the EPSG-assigned SRID, use whatever you like as long as it does not collide with already assigned ones). This, however, involves knowing both the WKT and the PROJ.4 form of the projection string: [1] is a table of mappings between WKT and PROJ.4 expressions, [2] is a way to automate the conversion between the two using OGR.

I actually recently added a feature to search for the cheapest spot instance price across a number of different regions. Right now for example the cheapest price for the instance type used c5.4xlarge is ~$0.15/hour in us-east-2.

Well, the power company won't care because it's not a transformer and those aren't their lines in the pictures — those are telco lines.

A while back I worked on a project that attracted a lot of attention from "RF activists" (for lack of a better term) and I ended up reading quite a bit of their literature, websites, etc. I think the best way to frame my conclusions is that I have a lot of sympathy for people with personal issues that are either unexplained or where evidence-based explanations are not to their liking. That must suck.

Good idea, but something in the article irked me.

>The turnover rate for entry-level employees in the industry is around 50%. For the formerly homeless people hired through Shelters to Shutters–who may feel more loyalty to the job because of their circumstances–the retention rate is more than 87%.

>–who may feel more loyalty to the job because of their circumstances–

That's a blatant lie. Their home is directly tied to their job. That's the best explanation for retention.

edit: this is not a critique of the good idea of employing homeless.
I've had a couple occasions where things have disappeared into the void. This was, of course, after moving away from a static IP (thanks Sonic). On the inbound side, I've had repeated delivery problems with Sonic blackholing mail from some financial institutions.

The essay as a whole has several interesting moments. Though rehabilitations of Kuhn like this remain troubling:

> In Kuhn’s view, reality is out there, but it doesn’t speak our language. It remains forever alien, non-linguistic, regardless of how well we seem to describe its various parts.

"Reality is indescribable" becomes a bit of a liar's paradox. Why should anyone think the sentence is an accurate description of the world, if accurate descriptions of the world are in fact out of reach?

Of course, it's possible this essay is a sometimes insightful and sometimes poor critique of a separate critique, that in turn is sometimes insightful and sometimes poor, and in turn comments on a treatise that wavers between obvious and overgeneralized depictions of scientific discovery.

Nobody's perfect.

As I have mentioned this is consistent with a trend of trying to squeeze money out of things that didn't need to generate cash back when search advertising paid for everything. Now, not so much and not getting better.

That said, I appreciate the discussion with even my "non-tech" type friends who are starting to understand the cost of 'free' stuff. That folks are learning I find refreshing, it makes the opportunity for products that explicitly protect privacy or disavow surveillance-as-a-service type businesses that much more competitive.
Dell's ProSupport is God sent! I bought my XPS 15 in the States but left to Africa a few months later. On my trip my UHD screen developed burn-in and needed to be replaced. Obviously there was no Dell support where I was and their terms basically say that you are out of luck. After a few exchanges with their support, they agreed to ship the screen to a friend in a European country and I had a co-worker grab it for me while on a work trip. The whole thing took about 3 weeks but it was all thanks to their support team sticking by me. They even told me not worry about shipping the old screen back.

In essence, Dell's ProSupport is more than worth it!
I have a sibling who’s in and out of the mental hospital.

While it's interesting to see ways to inhibit Chrome's new behaviour, getting into a privacy fight with your browser supplier seems to be a losing strategy...
> There are humans on the other side producing that content, they have as much right for being compensated for their efforts as we do.

They have a right to ask for compensation, and a right to require it. They have no right to be compensated, if they choose to give away the content for free. That would be saying they have a right to force people to be generous.

Whining about ad-blockers is simply being manipulative, it's trying to guilt-trip people into abandoning their self interest for free. The implicit social contract of the Web, the way HTTP protocol and Web browsers were designed, is precisely what allows for ad-blocking. Browsers are user agents, and what you send in response to a HTTP request is mine to render how I like. Publishers have a proper, correct way to ensure compensation on the Web - it's called a paywall. I pay, then I get content. But they prefer ads, because it's easier. It's easier to bleed people out of their sanity (and privacy) than to ask for money. It's easier not having to write quality content that would be worth paying for. But that's a choice publishers make.

This is the most important point: nobody is entitled to their business model working. If ads aren't working for you, change your business model.
The preprint may or may not be from Atiyah (though the writing is consistent with his ramblings about physics and history), but this is an embarrassingly bad “preprint”. It contains almost no substance, and has a myriad of errors of all sorts. It really has many of the usual characteristics [1] of a crank paper, something you can find for a dime a dozen on Vixra.

I know Atiyah is supposed to present on the Riemann Hypothesis at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum on Monday. If the organizers saw this preprint and decided to green-light his lecture, I would consider that disrespectful (to Atiyah & the attendees) and borderline malicious, especially given the context of his other recent mathematical claims, along with his truly bizarre Abel lecture [2].

I live in a nearby non Euro country, and I'm thinking of closing my Halifax (traditional) bank account before Brexit.

I kept the Halifax account for foreign spending and cash, as the Mastercard has no fees for this. The bank account is free, typical in the UK for personal accounts.

Bunq looks to charge €8/month, is that right? I don't think I'd get that much value from it, and going from £0/year to €96/year for my secondary account isn't great.
