I remember buying Honeycrisps for $1.09/# in SE Wisconsin, back before they got nationally popular. Of course, now that they are popular, they sell for more than $3/# where I currently live, and you can often tell they were grown somewhere other than northern lake country, just because they taste so different. East coast Honeycrisps really are no better than Pink Lady, and if you line up three genetically identical Honeycrisps from Washington, Minnesota, and New York, there is absolutely no question that you will be able to pick out the Minnesota one by taste.

It's like buying low-sulfur onions grown somewhere other than Vidalia, GA. If you know the food well enough, you can sometimes taste the placeness in it.
What delineation? It doesn't exist. Anyone can say "fuck the President". There is no extra special secret first amendment for journalists.
I don't feel "identified and represented by nation-state politics", whatever that means. But I do trust my democratically elected government to some extent. At least, I trust it more that the companies GDPR is supposed to protect me from.

And you're building a strawman with GDPR supporters, I don't think anybody said that nobody would ever try to abuse it. The GDPR has explicit provisions protecting journalists. It remains to be seen how this particular case pans out and if they truly manage to get the journalists to expose their source (or get heavily fined). If the Romanian authorities really manages to get this through and the rest of the Eurogroup doesn't react then yeah, that's quite worrying.

Also note that it's not like without the GDPR those journalists would be able to work peacefully anyway:

>Dragnea invoked the European data protection legislation last year when he threatened RISE Project with a lawsuit after journalists published stories on his connections to Tel Drum SA executives and other Romanian business people indicted for corruption and fraud.

>The president of the PSD never sued but soon after these threats were made, the Romanian Anti-Fraud Authority (ANAF) raided RISE Project’s offices, saying they suspected the organization of fraud. The investigation carried out by ANAF never uncovered any such fraud.

>RISE Project discovered that the initial complaint ANAF used to target RISE was a forgery filed by a non-existent person, with a non-existent physical address who falsely claimed that she worked as an accountant at the media house.

Due process is not really the keyword here from what I understand from this article. Something tells me that if it wasn't about the GDPR it would be something else.

AdWords seems to be set for the foreseeable future.

Before the inevitable protests, here's how it works. AdWords is quite willing to take money from Business A's competitor Business B for the precise phrase "Business A", as well as numerous other phrases that obviously refer to Business A. As a result, searches by naive mobile users for "Business A" will instead yield on-screen directions to "Business B". Business A will only find out about a small fraction of this traffic redirection, but it will still hurt them. In order to fix it, they only need to pay more money to AdWords than their competitors. That may be legal, but it is certainly extortion.

[EDIT:] To return to the topic of Yelp, it may be that extortion works when you've got the muscle to enforce it. Google have that, but a site like Yelp where most of the traffic is coming from a search engine probably doesn't.
In the middle of this entire mess sits the federal government with its interest payments, payment deferments, and loan guarantees.

Loans are made to people who not only have no business going to college, but have no business taking out a life-altering loan as their first step into adulthood.

Everyone is affected by this problem, as the flood of easy money has contributed to the steep rise in tuitions across the country. The result is a vicious cycle of inflationary bubble economics.

I've never used Bumble before but my understanding is that males in the top 20% of physical attractiveness get nearly all of the requests and that males in the bottom 80% get nearly none. Does that sound accurate?
I agree with your arguments. I’m not sure on enforcement, but it does state that one should post the original title in the guidelines. This may be worth a larger discussion elsewhere.
You know exactly why: you don’t get the quality that Apple wants any other way. Supposedly they reuse the shavings, so it might not actually be as bad as you think.
> * Facebook has huge potential to make dating safer by knowing when you're together detecting suspicious activity. Integrating their crisis response system would be a game changer.

I didn't realize online dating is so unsafe that this would be a "game changer." Online dating is already safer than (for example) meeting some random person at a bar or party, assuming you first meet the person in public which is an obvious thing to do. Presumably you've exchanged phone numbers or have some kind of identity of the person you're going out with, should you go missing, people know who to look for. I suppose the contact info they're giving you could be faked, and they could be using Tor the entire time, but I'd say someone nefarious like that is far more likely to be picking up drunk people at bars who aren't even paying attention and not even thinking in that direction.

Wow, I would have thought the revenue stream from advertisers, the returning users that make the ads worth buying, or the reviews that tie them together would be more valuable assets than then location data anyone could scrape out of the state business register.
I just tried to sign up with my business address. It told me that the address is not available for Informed Delivery but rather than it just ending there, it allowed to go ahead and create an account for that address any way. I'll have to wait and see if they later reject the account somehow.
Your title contains no information, unless one knows the rate in 1950.

By some metrics, it's more clickbait than the original title.
I would say the tech envy and the closely related “if we use this new technology X we will solve all our problems” instead of actually doing the hard work to be able.
Those things are not mutually exclusive.

PSC2s are optional on a lot of high performance vehicles and in many cases standard with the top performance package.

They are also pretty much as close to a slick tire as you can get without compromising all wet performance. There are tires that are more "barely legal" but there aren't many.

The reason they're so widely offered on performance cars is that they are basically cheater tires. They're street legal and grip like hell, but they also cost a lot, make a lot of noise, wear incredibly quickly, and can't be used in cold temperatures. I'm not aware of a single car sold with them as standard equipment which doesn't also offer a less insane tire as an add-on.

Basically they're used so automakers can get good numbers, no one in their right mind actually daily drives these tires. The PS4S used in the original test is generally regarded as one of the best tires for a daily driven performance car.
The other drawback is you have less layers of protection if operating in process with language-based and/or tactical mitigations.

Just because one abstracts-away the sandbox from the users doesn't mean that the sandbox can't be used as a layer of protection. The wiser approach would be to use an additional layer, though it's abstracted away from the user's point of view.
So is Apple mostly worried about the extra battery consumption needed for this feature?
This confuses me as well. When a company has information about a natural person and that person was not the source of the information that person has a right to request the source and the company must disclose it. As far as I know that request/disclosure does not extend to the member state enforcement agencies.
If somebody's staring at the sky, either there's something interesting to look at or they're nuts, and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt by not assuming the latter.

> we do not allow eval() (or any other mechanism of "code generation from strings")

This is interesting, because preventing code generation from strings goes beyond `eval()` and `new Function()` - it also includes things like the output www.jsfuck.com can produce (which can indirectly call things like `eval()` and `new Function()` without ever mentioning `eval` or `new Function` in their source). How do you prevent things like that?
>If having sex with animals is bestiality; having sex with dead people is necrophilia; what is sex with 2d anime girls?

Some would say it's the pinnacle of the society of the spectacle, in the pamphlet of the same name, Debort begins it with:

>But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence... illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.

(Feuerbach, Preface to the second edition of The Essence of Christianity)

Perhaps that's more relevant now in late capitalism than it was in Feuerbach's time, or maybe just in a different way. There's amazing work done inside and outside Japan on the relationship between reality and fiction, a topic which Japan has confronted in a remarkably different way to "the West" - and comes into play with the distinct ability in Japan to enjoy fiction without its real world equivalent, and to be satisfied with that much. 2D wives and the lolicon phenomenon seem to be good examples. As much as we like to talk about media normalizing the events depicted, Japan bravely (and empirically) stands in the face of it all when it comes to anime and manga.
The article splits in time, not randomly.
Wow people have passionate opinions about Yelp. If I need a quick meal while on the road, I just pick out some fast place. If I want a nice meal, I cook it. Spending a lot of my own money at a restaurant is only very rarely a satisfying experience.
This is what we do at fly.io: https://github.com/superfly/fly

It's based on node.js right now. It's a bit clunky, but we have many success stories of customers running it locally, on their CI and deploying to infrastructure.

Currently the open source version is not the same as the production version (due to the distributed nature of our platform.) We're working on fixing that very soon and going all-in open source.
I would say they are semi accurate.
I can't speak for other users, but I get at least one request per week. Make of that what you will (I'm a solid 6/10 on a good day). Putting yourself out there costs you nothing.
I square it by actually knowing people who've been affected. It's not like it was ambiguous or hard to figure out how it works. Its a VERY commonly known thing in the F&B industry and they all hate Yelp for it.
You should be able to decide if you want to be listed on yelp or not.
Kickstarter vs. Indiegogo – A Creator's Perspective
I'm in agreement about the technical challenge - doing it with "low cost" phased array CPE is challenging. If I had to engineer it I'd design something with a pair of highly shielded, tight focal axis parabolic antennas (basically a miniaturized o3b terminal), like two 60cm size on two-axis tracking motorized mounts. But there's no way that sort of setup with a unique rf chain for each of two dishes would be under $5000.

It's strange to see the Romanian government try to use the GPDR to harass journalists. Governments have become increasingly shameless about going after the press so no cover is required.

The UK government [1] has done this to multiple journalists including the Guardian, BBC [2], Greenwald's partner famously among others under the 'terrorism act'.

The US govt [3] is liberally using subpoenas, court processes and threatening new laws [4] to force journalists to give up sources.

Do you have any idea what edible mutualists you could grow with them? I'd bet there is a fungus meant for the rootbed. Having trouble intuiting much beyond that though.

I agree with what you're trying to communicate, I think, but my anecdote from yesterday disagrees with size. I looked at the massive honey crisp on my counter (around a softball's size), but didn't want to have to cut it in half.
If you're doing it at the interpreter level, it's pretty easy to prevent even the most obfuscated versions of such functions.

You can entirely remove eval such that even if code contained a very obfuscated form of `eval("foo")` it would get "eval is not defined".

Since they're not just sanitizing their input, but rather are forbidding things at the runtime level, things like jsfuck.com are totally irrelevant and should have no bearing on their security.
From where does the belief that apple makes durable products come? I have the exact opposite experience, and I have been fixing my own and my friends computers for a long time.

As a "only go to the Mac if you have to" iPad Pro fulltime software developer, I wholeheartedly agree with the pros, cons and promise of the software. It's just unfurtunate that new and existing iPad Pro users will have to wait almost a year for the iOS to catch up to the hardware - iOS 13 beta in June? and release by beginning of October.? Who knows, by that time a new version gets released, one that makes the smart cover keyboard double as a trackpad.

In the meantime, nothing incites Apple more than bad press. Shame is a great motivator, specially when you have $240b in cash in the bank. For 1k for the iPad Pro, 200 for the keyboard and 130 for the pencil I expect the experience to be... well "magical." Better yet... "at the intersection of
getting my work done better than on a Macbook Pro and Jeff Raskin's wet dream."

But Alas, Steve Jobs is dead and with him Apple's reality distortion field.

So maybe it's time to give our friends at Apple a hand and show them - as this article has done - all the areas the iPad - all iPads btw - are lacking.

>paired with general xenophobia and anti immigrant sentiment.

It is increasingly infuriating to watch people stall any debate by slandering those with legitimate concerns over immigration as xenophobes.

One can be wary of, for example, the increased infrastructural strain of, say, large numbers of uneducated third worlders entering a country suddenly, without being hostile to or fearful of their culture.

Probably will be radically oversubscribed in order for the economics to work, and will be a shittier service than a properly implemented vdsl2, g.fast or docsis3/3.1 last mile (nevermind gigabit class gpon or active Ethernet ftth), but significantly better than small geostationary service vsat. And will be higher latency and with worse GB/mo bandwidth quotas compared to a modern technology WISP for last mile.

A lot of the technology press has misunderstood the most desirable applications and locations for it. People think that it's going to compete for a residential internet service in a suburb of a city like Portland, or Sacramento, or Denver. If you can get 300 megabit per second DOCSIS3 service in one of those locations, that would be drastically better. where it is going to be a game-changer is all of the locations that are right now dependent on highly oversubscribed geostationary small vsat services, and extremely rural areas where there isn't even a single last-mile terrestrial Wireless ISP. and for ships in the middle of the ocean, if the gigabyte per dollar cost is significantly less than inmarsat or other options.

Went to Yosemite two weeks ago. The area around the visitor center is indeed packed full. Looked more like a city downtown, rather than a park.

The rest of the park though? Crossed the park via the Tioga Pass to reach Mammoth Lakes (which is outside of the park). There was very low traffic and a handful of people.

I feel that most people are concentrated in a few areas only, which should help. But the park is MASSIVE (takes almost 3h across by car). The entrance fee is a bargain considering how beautiful it is, and the sheer size of the area that has to be maintained and patrolled.

I worked at a call center for a random online for profit uni as one of my first jobs.

Quickly saw we were calling random leads generated by click bait ads like “become a swat expert” or enter to win type stuff.

We would call people who had no idea they had signed up to get called and push them to “further their education and future”.

First priority was to check to see that they could get a loan. Then aggressively get them to sign up for school.

I had access to the online courses and they were absolute trash.

Complete racket based on federal funding.
