What if the iPhones make them happy, and your Nokia 520 would not? What if they're just pursuing their happiness? What if the value of that happiness is more than the value they could have saved with a budget junker phone?

What if their lives are not very happy, but this one thing makes them happy? Is it worth it then? I would argue yes.

This reminds me of that infamous Fox News talking point: "Look at these people, living in poverty, and yet they still have microwaves in their kitchen! Maybe if they weren't living beyond their means, they wouldn't be in the slums!"

I found using this, with an isolation setting for specific domains, to be a better option:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...

An isolation policy will let you treat subdomain different from main domain. So I can use mail.google.com and still always be logged in, while a search from address bar or elsewhere will open in a temporary container that lasts only as long as the browser tab.

The persistent "Google" container I have has domains mail.google.com, accounts.google.com, and myaccount.google.com.. everything else loads in temporary containers.

Combine with this to remove the link stubs on SERP so you're not sending back click data if there's a shadow profile based on IP and browser metrics.. so shadow profile only knows what you searched and not necessarily what you clicked, and its cleaner for container assignment when opening links in new tabs because there's no brief hop to the same temp container google search loads in before going on to a separate temporary container for the target site:

That's the wonder of the stocks insane liquidity. People just want the maximum possible return this quarter, so they can sell it and buy some other stock next quarter. Who cares how long the company survives?

And the best part is, if you force all the companies to act this way, and get some odd government protection for the large ones, the companies won't even go out of business. It's just society that gets poorer.
The Mondeo/Fusion's F-R balance is actually worse than the A4's.

Since the engine in the Fusion is mounted transversely with an inline transaxle the majority of the weight is in front of the front axle.

The A4 has a longitudinally mounted engine with the transmission and PTU (output to the rear wheels) behind it, which means the weight straddles the front axle.

Audis used to be extremely nose-heavy but their engineers have spent a lot of effort over the past few generations to move the drivetrain's center of mass backwards. They also offer things like differentials with electronically controlled multiplate clutches that allow torque to be transferred to the wheel(s) with the most traction in a matter of milliseconds to improve traction in cornering or in wet/snowy conditions.

So "badge cachet" is definitely not the only difference.

I agree. Doing this now for 5G "mesh" based BTLE devices which I hope will drop dramatically in price.

BMWs largest factory is in Spartanburg, South Carolina and they produce X series vehicles. Mercedes also makes a lot if not all the the GL line in Alabama. They both export out of the US as well.

I suppose it helps American manufacturing and creates jobs. I don’t like “trade wars” but import taxes are not all bad.

In my opinion US trucks are the best SUVs are great but too large for what folks use them for. Japan is good with both cars, suvs, and trucks but they are lackluster on the inside. German cars are my favorite but they are expensive to maintain and unreliable. American cars are terrible unless you like muscle cars.
I'm not sure, but I've noticed the result is that I'm consciously using fewer and fewer google services. The more they keep doing this (just abandoning products, or charging astronomically more for them), the less likely I am to use their other services - or new ones, because I don't trust that they'll be around tomorrow. If you continuously show someone you're not stable or reliable, eventually they'll take the hint and believe you. I hope that's what they're going for because it's working. This year there's just been a lot of this with Inbox, G+, Maps increases, and now Hangouts.
Even if you give the visa to the employee, now you run the risk of employers sizing up an employee's status (are they a citizen or an immigrant who needs a job to stay in the country) and hiring or offering salaries based on that. It'll still lead to the wrong behaviors.

Citizenship questions are illegal but still get asked. Are you going to outlaw asking about an employee's immigration status? Good luck enforcing that.

+1 - Looking forward for Cryptography II
Yep, i've been trying to explain this to people on here for quite a while now. This is correct. Blockchains allow data and co-operation to be domiciled nowhere, which allows competitive actors to agree and co-operate.

It also enables otherwise untrusted actors to make trustable claims, bypassing the gatekeepers that would otherwise have mediated those claims. One tangible example is ICOs bypassing not just regulators, but banks and the financial industry that would normally have had to underwrite them. Obviously this particular example has some serious kinks to work out, but the ability to bypass the corporate gatekeepers (not so much the regulators) has value, I think.

You can do SMS via Android Messages and use messages.android.com on a computer. However, unlike Hangouts, it just connects to your phone to send and receive messages.

Google Fi will be unchanged; I've been using Messages from the beginning. Voice, however, has a much better experience with Hangouts than with the standalone Voice app, and in particular the standalone Voice app doesn't let you make VoIP calls as far as I can tell.
I think the stated reason is usually "a single place users can go to directly", the least nefarious reason is that they don't want to associate the breach with their main site, so only affected or inquisitive customers will know about it.

Can't share exact numbers due to NDAs, but it's pretty even.
The problem is that having a non-BFT consensus is the same that using database nodes and if you use BFT consensus you don't have the performance required for most use cases. BFT-SMaRT supposely achieve 80k tps for a few nodes but when you scale to more nodes the performance degrades substantially.

Another issue against the DLT hype is that the blockchain does not provide security where 90% of the whole architecture is outside the blockchain, less if there are many few nodes.

A good psychiatrist works with you to find medication that addresses your challenges with a minimum of side effects: the nice thing about most ADHD meds is that they work relatively quickly and don't have the terrible withdrawal symptoms some psychiatric meds do, so you don't have to wait six weeks to see if its working. And whether or not you are interested in medication, there are strategies and adaptations that can make it easier: support from a professional therapist can be super-helpful, with or without meds.

Well, to some extent this is true and in some ways totally inaccurate. There is a push in the Examination corps to assist inventors in efficiently identifying the patentable subject matter in their application and assisting the applicant in getting a patent on that subject matter. Buuuut, at the same time, the easiest thing in the world for an Examiner to do is to issue a rejection. Nobody ever got egg on their face for issuing a rejection (if there is a tenable grounds for it). But it is quite embarrassing to be the examiner who allows a facially silly patent (like the swinging on a swing patent, or the stick patent, for example). And, from the Examiner's perspective, they can get more counts (a measure of productivity) by issuing rejections and prolonging examination. So, in the end, the real goal of an Examiner is to get the good ones allowed and reject the bad ones (surprise surprise). It's just a very fact-dependent, laborious, and subjective process. So that sometimes you or I may disagree with some cherry-picked results from thousands of Examiners working nonstop, is not terribly surprising. To suggest that the entire system is broken because of this is extremely naive.
I am definitely not anti Microsoft, I’ve been developing with some version of Visual Studio for well over 20 years. But, it makes absolutely no sense to hang your hat on developing using Windows specific technologies in 2018. Even Azure is hosting more Linux VMs than Windows VMs. I’m at least moving toward .Net Core and if I were doing desktop apps I would use Xamarin.

But all of the money and energy is moving away from .Net. As much as I hate that JavaScript has taken over in mindshare, at least there is TypeScript.
From the article:

These are the specific allegations made in the affidavits, first reported by WSOC in Charlotte and also obtained by Vox:

One voter says a young woman came to her house and asked for her absentee ballot because she was collecting them. The voter had made her choice for only two offices on the ballot, but still gave her ballot to the young woman, who said she would fill out the rest.

Another voter also says a young woman came to her house and claimed she was responsible for collecting absentee ballots. The voter filled out her ballot while the young woman waited; the woman then took the ballot, but never asked the voter to sign it and did not put it in a sealed envelope.

A third voter says she did not request an absentee ballot but received one in the mail anyway.

A fourth person says she saw unusual activity at a polling site: election results being run after polls closed on the last day of early voting and observed by people who were not elections judges, which she understood to be “improper.” The person said she also helped tabulate absentee ballots after the election that were quite worn and had “coding” written on them.

A fifth person, Dwight Sheppard, says he overheard people talking outside a polling station on Election Day who said a well-known local operative, Leslie McCrae Dowless, Jr., would be paid a $40,000 bonus if Harris won the election.

In another affidavit — signed and witnessed, but not notarized — a sixth person said he actually talked to Dowless in April during the Republican primary, in which Harris upset sitting Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger, According to this person, Dowless said he was working on the absentee vote for Harris, that he had 80 people working for him, and that he accepted cash payments only from campaigns.

What's the significance of a sworn affidavit? Are there penalties for making a false statement in sworn affidavit, and if so, what are they? I'm asking because I want to understand the significance / weight of presenting these sworn affidavits as evidence, and not to question the truthfulness of the statements being made. My thinking is that people wouldn't make a false statement if the cost of doing so is high, and I'm using this cost to discern if "something very weird is going on" or if this series of events is a string of coincidences.
Google Due cannot be a replacement for Hangouts without a serious overhaul:

* Duo is linked via phones, not Google accounts
* Duo is strictly peer-to-peer, not for groups
* Duo is video/audio only, no chat/text

So, it could be a Duo-like replacement for Hangouts, maybe. But not a complete replacement. A merger of Allo + Duo (does anyone here know what Allo is?) could check some of these boxes. But one of the primary appeals of Duo is E2E encryption, and that is not in Google's interests in the long run.
This is interesting, though the environmentalist in me can't help but think about how much plastic that is...
Absolutely no blaming on him. He was responsible for Microsoft Messenger (if i'm not mistaken) before and the uncertainty with Google chat products (Allo, Duo, Hangouts Meet and who knows what else) is continuing without him.
I guess nearly all laptops are made in China so it makes sense to make the CPUs nearby. Esp if cheap labor, cheap land, and low environmental standards.
I think the original comment was intended humorously, so it is probably pointless to argue this in earnest, but I did used to write HIPAA violation letters as one part of my job when I worked in insurance. So I am familiar with myriad ways that information can get leaked. It doesn't always involve someone intentionally attacking your data.

The letters I wrote were very frequently due to situations like "Your dad/brother/cousin who lives in the same house/on the same street/in the same town and whose name is weirdly similar to yours and they happen to also have a policy with us happened to get your check/letter by accident because we got you two mixed up (sometimes: Again!)."

Not that we could word our letters that way. We couldn't. But that was a surprisingly common scenario.

So, color me skeptical that a cryptographic hashing algorithm somehow magically solves this and ensures that no breaches happen ever.

And that may seem like no big deal if it is the occasional individual scenario and you are sure it can't happen en masse, but such information can be simply devastating when it comes out, such as this case:

https://www.vox.com/2014/9/9/5975653/with-genetic-testing-i-...

Anyway, that's kind of my line of thinking, which may be a case of "I am short of sleep and taking a one line joke way too seriously."
That's not normally what people are currently calling blockchain. That's just chained hashing, which has been around for 30 years at least.

You should look at Merkle trees. They are a component of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies.
Yes, Discord, IRC, Riot/Matrix and Zulip for example make this very clear. Some of the others have it but not obvious.

One thing that Spectrum has that's similar to forum software is a reputation system. Others have admin/moderator status but nothing further.

Discord's mass concurrent voice chat is very impressive, but then they did hone this in 64 man WoW raids and the like. The new screen sharing they added a while back is nice too. Interesting implementation (you can pick which of the nine to watch at any given time).

Video chat is the latest I've been looking into with Zoom starting to stand out above Hangouts and Skype, especially for one to very many and multiple speakers in turn type arrangements. Zulip can hook into Jitsi and Hangouts.
It’s like selling a copy of a book that you own. Unless you signed some sort of confidentiality agreement, there’s nothing that prohibits you from transferring the physical copy to someone else.
How about a thing that's almost-but-not-quite a blockchain? E.g. a decentralized multi-master Event Sourcing datastore. No proof-of-work, no mining, no ledger. Anyone who can connect to the network (i.e. is whitelisted) can append whatever they like, and it'll get replicated to everybody. But nobody can delete/overwrite (without losing consensus); and every event is signed by its emitter. It's just an append-only log file that happens to exist in several (geographically distant) places at once.

Get the actors together to standardize a format for the messages everyone's emitting, and then make some software (one shared implementation, many different ones, doesn't matter) to parse the log stream into a point-in-time representation you can load into an analytics tool.

Seems to me that that sort of technology would fit this use-case a lot more closely than an Actual Blockchain™ would.

You are Chinese? Raw guess.

But the entire setup of China is made for stealing tech from companies who invest there, this doesn't mean anyone isn't hardworking or hasn't got any talent. I know Chinese are hardworking.

That and VW's customers in home market (EU) have different expectations WRT the cost and frequency of maintenance. To grossly generalize American consumers want cars that above almost everything else require as little maintenance as possible and use the cheapest parts/consumables.

European customers on the other hand are more likely to think nothing of a car that needs regular care and feeding, including using manufacturer-specific fluids and consumables, in order to achieve higher levels of other things like efficiency or performance.

It seems like 87.4% of this discussion revolves around differences in definitions of "better".
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not, so I assume this is a serious comment.

Probably true. After all, being in debt is the "American Way" :-)
I want to warn folks that the quality of street ketamine wildly varies and is not a suitable alternative to these kinds of treatments.

I have had on and off issues with dependency on this substance mainly due to my issues with depression and anxiety.

If anything, it works too well for these issues, and it’s incredibly easy to get used to the relief from the constant onslaught of struggle that these types of illnesses cause, just as I imagine an opiate would be relieving for someone with chronic pain.

I would urge a sense of critical importance to the understanding that the exciting part of these treatments is that in combination with psychotherapy they could cure, not treat these issues.

Unlike someone with chronic pain, it can be used, along with certain other properly-applied psychedelics like LSD, to help train the psyche into functioning without it.

It’s not, however, something for everyone, and while it worked for me, please excercise extreme caution in using this substance or recommending it to others.

I’ve had friends who did it for years and still killed themselves. Two of them.

So at the end of the day, I urge everyone with even the deepest-seated mental issues like this - this kind of change has to come from within, and any benefits an external tool provides should be for dedicated moments of healing and/or a focus on the mind, and, for lack of a better word, spirit.

I can create a throwaway email account to answer any questions anyone may have. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you, or anyone close to you has problems with this substance.

At this point it seems like mostly pedants and literalists. I wonder what the overlap is between “serverless still runs on servers” folks and the people that beat the “cloud is just someone else’s servers” horse to death for years and years. I totally understand if someone has a hard time with nuance and not taking things literally but that’s rare. In my experience it’s just fueled by condescension and/or this assumption that people are too stupid to breathe.
