It isn't - except if one of your main messages is being against capitalism. His credibility is now zero.
There IS private airspace indoors (it is why drone races typically happen in warehouses or stadiums). Outdoors, there is no private airspace so much as there is Class G airspace which is all airspace under 1200ft as long as you are out of range of any landing strips/airports, or under 700AGL if you are near certain larger airports. It is not legal to fly any manned aircraft in class g unless either transiting through to land/takeoff, or if you have clearance. However, it happens fairly often (just look at sightseeing helicopters as an example). A common problem with drone hobbyists is that they don't know anything about commercial airspace. Much of the concern has been about flying near airports where transiting low-altitude space is necessary. If drone operators had been assiduous in avoiding those areas (as RC aircraft operators have been) then this would be less of a concern.

I agree though, that there is very little possibility of enforcing low altitude airspace rules, unless they force some kind of software/transponder system into use. even then, the home-built drones are just too easy to make to guarantee it.
This would be nice actually. Did Google Plus have this?
You think the solution to this is to make an app? Looool
Java has the try-with-resources statement, and C# has the using statement. They're alternative forms of the try statement and they're functionally equivalent to Python's with statement using contextlib.closing.
When I was younger, my friends had my telephone number. I used to enjoy coming home and chatting to friends on the phone. I loved receiving calls. There was something nice about having that landline handset against my ear.

Nowadays, the tax department, my boss, various Government departments, my bank, etc. have my phone number. It's never good news.

Of course, back in the day I didn't spend 4 hours a day on YouTube and doing stuff on my computer when I get home, so I viewed telephone calls as less of an "interruption".
There's probably a lot of gnashing of teeth over this article at WRI/Mathematica.
Maybe you want to do something audio/video based, don't want to reinvent the wheel and more importantly you absolutely don't want a web browser running on the system running your application (for example because you're running on an embedded system)
This is more of a problem with time frames. Wooden houses last 100-200 years if very well built. I've seen teardowns after 50, sometimes less. What's the environmental cost of building 4 wood buildings to last as long as 1 concrete building?

Concrete construction lasts centuries. And if torn down, can be crushed and after separated from rebar, re-used as aggregate in another project.
Erroneously naming it "XDG-spec" is not very good, though. It is the "XDG Base Directory Specification", just one of several XDG specs.

Which part of all statements made so far would be a lie if an issue was discovered by some unit under DHS or a 3d party entity?
Even if the technology is perfected and proven superior on several counts, the adoption has to overcome the psychological barrier. The places that don't have a culture of wooden buildings, especially the floor, will need some convincing.

As an Indian, I don't encounter wooden floor often. Modern buildings are all brick and reinforced concrete, and old temples are stone mostly. Any wooden floor one might come across are just wood panels installed on concrete floor. Nearly two decades back, the city library (Seshadri library, Bengaluru) was renovated, and as a part of it the shelves were raised and a wooden corridor was installed to enable access to higher shelves; its a tall building with a dome and a large hall under it, your typical library. Needless to say, I was quite apprehensive to walk on it, so were most people there. Apart from that, the only experience I have is standing on my desk to change the bulb. The desk is quite sturdy - the bulkier carpenter stood on it to demonstrate - but I just can't trust it the same way I trust concrete floor. When on a wooden surface, I step softly, hoping to make myself lighter, just in case, though I know its nonsense.
They are in different niches to a degree, but when you have a language like Nim that is as easy to use as Python, nearly as expressive as Python...etc, then you might go ahead and choose Nim over something like Perl6 as it is so fast and distribution is just a binary. C++ is in a different ballpark than Perl6, but not Nim & Crystal. They overlap to the slower lang's detriment.
If you go to the kickstarter, they confirm that's where the design came from.
Preorders for the 9900K are 578$ USD.

For that you can get a Ryzen 2700X, a nice motherboard and a 256GB SSD. Performance delta shouldn't be more than 15% deficit for the Ryzen for a few specific games.
What do you guys think about a bar/club that's inside a big Faraday cage?
> If any of the reported details cited above were true, we would have every interest—economic, regulatory, and ethical—to be forthcoming about it.

That's the key argument.

This isn't just a "your word against mine" type of thing. Were this issue true, then it could represent a significant legal risk to Apple.

Categorically denying something that can easily be proven by an external audit (a scenario that they cannot rule out might happen), as strongly worded as they did (excerpt below), would open them up to a huge legal liability in addition to the security issue itself, and for no real upside.

> In the end, our internal investigations directly contradict every consequential assertion made in the article—some of which, we note, were based on a single anonymous source. Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server.
Addiction seems to fill emotional voids like unresolved trauma, depression, ennui, unfulfilled ambition and so on. I think much like a bad habit, an addiction needs to be replaced by something else that fills the gap but is positive instead (for example exercise, working, learning, or sports) otherwise the gap is still there and will exert continued pressure to return to the addiction. That or (where possible) removing the gap entirely by working through the root emotional cause.
> Unless you came from wealth, or you’re definitely in the top 1% of your peers, maybe set your expectations a bit lower.

Why should any of us set our expectations lower? Because you say so? Why is the best piece of the cake reserved to some 1% folks largely with inherited wealth? Why should 1 billion Chinese set their expectations lower? Because they happen to not be born in Silicon Valley and their father doesn't run a law firm in Manhattan?

This is called wealth inequality to the max and it will crash our societies sooner or later. Pseudo-meritocracies will eventually break their necks over this and the developing crisis of democracy is one step into that direction. 2008 proved that the system is utterly broken and since then we put on a few bandaids at best.

> There are plenty of places in the US where a house can be purchased for under $100k.

Sure, those places just don't have the jobs people strive after, for example to escape automation in the 21st century.
Employers creative incentive structures that screw over employees in the long-term is objectively bad.
Not every, but those that are not usual, that have some strange weight/properties for their kind. Or you'll some day let in a trojan horse...

I bet every person entering the building is security checked, you don't want anyone unexpected or with some paint or knife near 1 million $ stuff. Plus bag checks at least in places open to public have become usual today.
Does Intel really think this approach is good for them? As a technical person, all I see is a company in trouble with products they need to lie about. This goes beyond market speak - it's deceptive.
I've been on a rant lately about how much I miss the wild west days of the web, 33k connections and all. I used to visit a blog (it was basically a blog, but probably 5 years before I'd heard the word blog) written by a guy who was chronicling the government controlling his mind with electricity. It was endlessly fascinating, and I can't even find it now. I miss finding the unexpected.

I don't blame javascript, I blame businesses for swallowing everything in an attempt to make money. I think I miss it because people mostly created pages out of passion or curiosity, and they hung out on IRC because they didn't care if everyone could see how poignant their comments were.
I read an article called "Breaking the Silk Road's Captcha" about 4 years ago which led me to Hacker News. I spend about 1-2 hours per day reading the articles. Is it a terrible waste of time? Who knows?
Dying of old age was a norm. There were plenty of old people way back when. It's just that lots of people dying young (well across all age groups) was the norm too.
1- Farmed salmon does not receive growth hormones. Is a fish.

The kind of growth hormone that you could find in the market are from mammals (or humans). I'm not an expert in hormones, but I doubt that fishes could make anything useful with it.

Farmed salmon are genetically selected, so they grow fast. No need to burn your hardly earned money chasing and injecting expensive and useless growth hormones in each one of your 100.000 fishes. Is antieconomic and would be a really stupid move.

2- Farmed salmon COULD receive antibiotics, as any cattle or poultry do, WHEN there is a disease that can be treated with antibiotics. Point.

Treating a big mass of open water with antibiotics is really, really expensive. Giving antibiotics in the food is not easy when you have some hundred thousands of mouths. As farmers do not have a printing dollars machine and is their money what is over the table, I bet that they think twice before to use this weapon and try to cut the medication as soon as possible.

To save antibiotics, and chemicals is the reason for doing the scanning in the article, so there are room for improving with the use of computers, and they are actively trying to improve at least.

On the other hand, antibiotics for veterinary use are legal and regulated by the EU. I bet that the period of days before the fishes can be killed and somebody could buy this meat in a marketplace is carefully followed by the farmers. Because is a REGULATED industry in the European Union.
Version 69.0.3497.100 (current at time of writing) on MacOS still respects the /etc/hosts.
Look back further - while certainly not blameless they didn't start the fire - humanity in general did. In South America even the Conquistadors even with their vast advantages would have died if not for all of the other tribes sick of their flower wars and getting captured for sacrifice. They also had an army on their side. One they later betrayed and made an underclass but fifty men in an unfamiliar territory would die eventually to their might. Africa had its own warfare and ironically one of the most benign actions of trade helped set up a collapse - trade with others is how advancement is driven and they wound up benefiting from trade in more productive crops - some with precious metals and ivory and some through slaves. That lead to a population boom and that lead bloody wars of Shaka Zulu. The point being exploitation doesn't need any outside actors and is the true enemy. The true cause of poverty and backwardness is lack of growth.

This doesn't absolve the misdeeds of exploiters - indeed colonies end in independence usually specifically because of mercantilist mismanagement squanders the true potential of the country by seeing it only as a well of land resources instead of an extension to nurture for mutual good but it is important to recognize that getting out "the Imperialists" won't make things better automatically and the wrong replacement can ironically be even worse. As bad as the British were in Rwanda they never decided to genocide the Tutsis even though their manipulations lead to it indirectly. Evil comes from within and without "the tribe" and it is important to recognize that.
As long as it makes Stephen Wolfram angry, I'm happy.
It also happens with method overloading. In Java, you can't have a class that has both of these methods at the same time:

Integer sum(List<Integer> values) { ... }

float sum(List<Float> values) { ... }

because, as far as Java is concerned, both of these methods have exactly the same argument list.

You also have no way in the language to express things like "Map<String, Option<Integer>>.class", which has some ergonomic implementations. (e.g., see: http://gafter.blogspot.com/2006/12/super-type-tokens.html)

The gotcha here, though, is that Haskell doesn't have these problems, or the one with implementing multiple specializations of the same generic type, even though it erases types much more completely than Java does.

I'm not much of an expert on language design, but that leaves me thinking that there's probably a lot of stuff we lay at the feet of Java's type erasure that is actually more properly attributable to having a type system that is broken in some fundamental way.

Or maybe it's the way that type erasure interacts with dynamic dispatch in an object-oriented language? Since the dynamic dispatch means that there are decisions about datatypes that a language like Haskell or ML can sort out at compile time, but that an OO language like Java must delay until run-time?
Yeah, I assumed I must have missed a detail. Or Banksy is totally messing with us.
Hmmm. This comparison is really challenges me.

I liken Gladwell to other mercenary concern trolls like David Brooks.

But in my rush to defend Banksy... I realize I have no idea who signs his checks. His schtick could also be just another troll. Bread and circus to keep the hoi polloi complacent.

Indeed, how could Banksy not be? Either by default or by design, result is the same.

Thanks. I relish these types of conundrums.
The self-sorting mailbox: using IFFFT to speed up the processing of emails
Well, you are comparing apples and oranges here. The equivalent AWS service would be EC2 and not S3. I know that you didn't start with that (as gprasanth put them in the same race), but it should be clear those two have different redundancy levels.

In fact, I don't know where AWS nor Hetzner stores the 'disk' of the VPS or even the backups. And while those are undoubtedly essential attributes for enterprise-level services, I think especially for side projects the usability of the service is quite relevant.
I'm curious whether the data is stored locally or if it's also sent to Google, possibly to be used against your interest.
Another approach may be to use secret ballot. The issue many states have is that they don't want to be on record supporting something even though they do, for fear of retaliation etc. But if nobody knows how you voted, you can vote how you want to.
I have my own concerns about SES since my impression is that you have to do your own IP hygiene, and you can't get "pre-warmed" IPs, so if we were to slam SES with our email traffic, our deliverability would fluctuate greatly. We don't send unsolicited email however, and only to people who confirm their email.
Because they're two separate skills. Being good at development doesn't mean you're good at management.
There is a fallacy about logical fallacies: using them to discredit non-logic based arguments. When one wants to assess the credibility of anecdotal facts, it is entirely fair to ask whether a person is a reliable source for this information. This is why character witnesses are acceptable in court. We are not trying to prove a theorem or explain the results of an experiment. We are trying to use our intuition, for lack of better tools and information, to assess what we hear. So saying that this person can be considered unreliable as a source of information in this kind of analysis due to past behavior is valid. Objective data and detailed explanation should be provided to back up his argument logically in order for it to be acceptable, rather than taking Duncan's word for his analysis of the data he has presumably seen.

In this case, the author's data-based assertion of non-correlation is much weaker than Douglas Duncan's. I think based on Duncan's background, it is fair to dismiss his quote entirely without further context and base conclusions only on the data presented. In addition, since the author presents an unreliable source, one may suspect the data is skewed to support that source, conciously or unconsciously.
It is not an exception, it's almost the same at least in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Austria. It is not true that you'd be always covered - you'd be covered only if you're registered in the system and entitled to be a part of it (by the virtue of being a resident); if you have your residence outside the EU, you're entitled to nothing; if you have your place of residence in other EU country, you're entitled only to treatment of immediately life threating issues - you still need travel insurance to travel to other EU countries if you want e.g. dentist covered, also you can't injure yourself doing sports and such, that would not be covered at all by the basic insurance.

It's true that you'd be covered even if you never paid but you have to be entitled to be a part of the system - and thus you're insured. Also the money for treatment will be later demanded from you, on top of insurance payments and interest (personal experience); of course there are options for the socially less able (the government pays insurance for them, that's why it might seem free) but as a software engineer, no it's not true.

If you read my comment properly you'd know that I'm talking about uninsured people.
I don't necessarily agree with the term 'colonize' here, but if you buy resources and depend on them, you would definitely want to control as much as possible the territories the resources are coming from. Especially if they are currently governed by weak and unstable governments. It's state-level risk management 101.
How does one get famous making art? Magic?
http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/03/blogging-about-midori/ is a good set of articles about the Midori project.
Yes exactly - I specifically said "if you don't have insurance". I really don't see your point, you're saying the same thing I do.
Exactly. The US is willing to prop up some pretty brutal despots in the name of stability or access to resources. China is going to be as bad or worse. The actions of the Chinese government overseas are not nearly as constrained by the need of partial approval or lack of disapproval at home the way the actions of the US are. Someone like Pinochet wouldn't even give China pause.
fun idea but meh... it's just polarized glasses, presumably using at least a couple of polarizing filters to block multiple directions of light rather than only one.
The article mentions that the film served as their design inspiration.

"As for the design? Cash says they modeled the glasses after the 1988 film, They Live, in which a magic pair of sunglasses exposes the subliminal messaging in advertisements."
If you've been following the devlopment of the Unum format[0], you'll know that this comes with a whole set of problems of their own.

I believe it because the law and EU regulation explicitly states it.
Yes, but I was talking about the case when you're not insured. Btw the treatment you're entitled to in other EU countries (outside the issuer country of your insurance card) is limited (but of course childbirth is covered) and you need travel insurance (it's cheap in EU, around 2 euro per day), especially if you're doing sports as any injury done during sports is not covered at all outside your country.
"The real answer to solving technology addiction is the answer to sustainably solving most problems: innovation spurred by capitalism."

I find that when capitalism spurs innovations, those innovations work toward the sustenance of capitalism as a system, which I take some issue with. If some plucky startup solves tech addiction, it will be in a way that makes you a more effective worker or consumer.
IBM does that, some ANS4543 code that is the real error, _then_ a possibly translated-to-your-language error sentence that tries to help you, but if it isn't enough, you google for the error code and can potentially find help regardless of what language the blog post is in, or the forum link or whatever.
That is not what most people consider a 'good' health care package. That would be considered a 'high deductible' plan.

When people talk about 'good' health care plans in the US they tend to think of traditional low deductible PPO. Those tend to have family deductibles in the $500-1k range.

Though the employee premium differences might add up to more than 10K in the face of a 'good' health care plan so its largely not relevant to the argument about health care costs in a nation vs nation way (though you'd want to include tax burden for health insurance in that case).
Then you use your pager's search functionality and go to the EXAMPLES section. If there is no EXAMPLES section, that's not the fault of the format, but of the author. Presumably, the same author would be equally good (or bad) at providing examples no matter if the target format was a man page or a web page.
What the source actually said, according to that article:

When asked what, exactly, he found strange about Bloomberg's claims, Fitzpatrick said, "It was surprising to me that in a scenario where I would describe these things and then he would go and confirm these and 100% of what I described was confirmed by sources."

You could take that to mean "Bloomberg took a scary hypothetical and pretended it was real," but if they did have other sources telling them "There are these backdoor chips in servers" this is exactly what you'd expect Bloomberg to do: go to a security expert and ask "Hey, does this really work?"

It doesn't particularly read like evidence one way or another to me.
Why couldn't it be the Russians again! Up to their dastardly tricks.

The fact that they called this "tech addiction" rather than "smartphone (app) addiction" was rather disappointing, given the latter was the entire focus of the article.

I clicked the link wondering how they were going to differentiate addiction from reliance; as in, if we were all EMP'd tomorrow and set back to agrarian days, a lot of people will die, and not just from starvation.
