Tidal forces are one way - either between the two binary components, or from a close encounter with a third, larger body.

Another is the "YORP Effect". Sunlight falling on an asteroid produces a slight thermal radiation pressure (push). If, due to asymmetries in asteroid shape/albedo, the net radiation pressure force is not aligned with the asteroid's center of mass, it will produce a torquing force which will cause the asteroid to spin faster (or slower) over time. Applying the idea of YORP Effect to binary asteroids yields the "BYORP [Binary YORP] Effect", by which the orbital dynamics of the binary system are modified by this asymmetric radiation pressure over time, in a way that either pushes them together into a contact binary or apart into two unbound asteroids.

It's even hypothesized that some asteroids may be in a binary/contact-binary cycle on long timescales! There are solutions to the above in which the BYORP effect causes a loss of angular momentum in a binary pair, causing them to merge into a contact binary - but the contact binary may settle into a state where the YORP Effect actually causes the newly merged asteroid to spin faster, eventually flinging them apart due to centripetal forces... back into a binary state where the BYORP Effect may again cause them to merge someday.

IMO I just reviewed all the phones and the iPhone XR is the best phone for the price (~$750). Battery life is great, security is a plus, waterproof, great CPU, etc.

I rotated through the pixel, iPhone XS, Samsung Galaxy, and 4 or 5 other flagship phones (was able to get amazing two week return policies)

Ended up with the XR simply because it was an excellent solid phone, cheaper than the other flagship phones. Admittedly I didn’t checkout the Xiaomi phone.

For reference, I had to replace my nexus 6p because the battery was so bad it was dying at 50% randomly. Plus google was no longer pushing updates.
I'm pretty sure this advice was obsolete at least a decade ago.

For an 20+ year old desktop application written in C, GIMP has a a very good code-base. This is thanks to it always being a priority of the developers. The migration to GEGL for image processing and preparation for GTK+3 forced a lot of updates across the application (and was a lot of work).

Probably unknown to many here is that GIMP also has an API. Actually two, the C API and the PDB API (Python/Scheme/etc). This is used by third-party plugins that extend/customize GIMP for various purposes. Many of the existing plugins that people use are quite old, and often poorly/unmaintained.
Keeping these plugins working is the main consideration for why the GTK+3 migration was not done in mainline until 2.10 was released, since GTK2->GTK3 is a breaking change in the C API.

Of course C, GObject and GTK+ are probably not what anyone today would choose today as the base of a graphical image manipulation application. Other UI frameworks would have a larger mindshare, and other programming languages might require less skill/care to code in.
Allowing UI elements to be written in another language than C89 would probably make things more accessible to contributors, in my opinion. But a two-language split in an application has disadvantages also.

Preserving compatibility with existing projects that users have is also something that takes a good bit of resources and can restrict movement a bit. It was the last big piece to solve for getting GIMP 2.10 with high-bitdepth support ready. But breaking peoples project files tends to make users unhappy... To keep old files alive and rendering correctly there is a fair amount of legacy image processing code being kept around, but it is factored to not be that much of an issue.
That's exactly what we do. Snowplow does a good job, but having the comparison points in GA is very helpful.
Yeah no, you don't get to say students should care more about learning than grades when jobs, opportunities, and scholarships given by the very university that claims learning is more important are riding on grades.

It is the professor's responsibility to grade accurately, and honestly if there is so much inconsistency in grading that there's a significant probability that the student will lose marks despite having pointed out a reason they should gain marks, the professor is screwing up very badly[1]. Don't pin that on the student not having noble intentions or whatever.

[1]:Or at least that's the case in STEM. My humanities friends tell me that grading is much more subjective there which is a bit disturbing but I'm hardly qualified to make such judgments.
> Of course there are other factors addressed in the letter, but this issue was notable enough to be included.

The Chinese governement has since long tried to "shift vibes about Apple" through the "China Central Television".
In 2013 it was named together with the "820 Party", i don't know what happened now though. But i'm not sure that "blaming it on the trade war" tells the entire tale.

PS. They did the same thing with Google, after "Operation Aurora" happened. That was the moment that Google left China.

> Have you considered the fact that practically everyone who commits these kinds of crimes had similar things done to them

No excuse. Defending child-killers because they themselves were (potentially) abused as children? That's nonsense. They still killed someone; their past traumas don't give them a free pass to inflict horror and pain on others. The past traumas of the killers doesn't matter to the child they murdered. If you have a past trauma -- go see a doctor. It was in Canada, medical and psychiatric care is supposed to be free right? That they didn't avail themselves to that resource and instead chose to rape and kill a little girl -- that's on them.

Rationalizing the actions of child-killers is disgusting.
Subsidies have been largely eliminated but phones are now generally purchased on 0% interest installment plans (no more early termination fees).
Nissan has sold nearly every Leaf it has ever made. It simply doesn't make many of them, since it was first intended to be a compliance car and a loss leader for the brand.

You can't even buy a Leaf in most of the country, so if you were to scale up sales of the Leaf to the same geographic territory as Tesla sells to, the sales would be about comparable.

Tesla apparently did proper planning while the big car makers are just trying to produce their usual cars with electric engines.

Ah, proper planning. That certainly explains the billion-dollar line collecting dust, the year-long delay on every model, and their inability to properly deliver finished cars to their customers when promised (i.e., basic logistics). The cars you've mentioned aren't meant to have maximum range at high speeds; they're meant to have X range at commuter speeds while providing a luxurious ride. You'll also have to demonstrate (with cites) that the aerodynamics will cost them 20% of posted range, since those aerodynamics have already been factored into their range as part of the federally-mandated testing.
Was just talking to the family the other day about this. Every phone up to the 6 I had in my hands the day it was available, and that’s including the original iPhone which wasn’t available in Australia. We imported them and had to wait for a jailbreak until we could do anything with them!

So yeah, iPhone nerd here.

I’ve been rocking an SE for a couple of years now. Love it. Works. Quick enough. Small, robust. No plans to update.

I think the novelty has worn off. They used to be these cool new toys. Now it’s just a phone. I want to spend less time with the thing as time goes on, not more.

>And if you're speaking X.509 or something on both sides I'm intensely curious to see how vulnerable the attack surface is.

Very. ASN.1 vulnerabilities have been exploited multiple times in the wild, in mainstream libraries (like OpenSSL). Now imagine every hardware vendor writes their own shitty implementation and ships it as a blob to phone manufacturers. And that's all without going into the full blown X.509 PKI part of the spec, which adds yet another layer of complexity - all under control of chargers you plug into. Now imagine this is implemented by the kind of companies who wish to perform DRM on what charger you are allowed to use.

This spec is a recipe for disaster and implementing it will seriously reduce the security of devices.

How are you going to authorize new HID devices without other currently working and authorized HID devices?
The best way to solve this is to have a normalized schema. You assign each user an ID, and then you sync all the identifying information to its own table. So you get a schema that looks like:

events (id, user_id, ...)
users (id, first_name, last_name, email, ...)

If a user requests to be deleted from your database, or if you have a policy of deleting users when the cancel their subscriptions, you can accomplish that by deleting one row.

This isn't going to make you GDPR compliant by itself but it's a start.
Anyone that says they need CMYK doesn’t understand printing. At all.

Suggesting CMYK is holding something back is literally suggesting that the individual wants discrete control over the inks in the machine, without considering the colour of the inks, the paper colour, the saturation level of the paper, etc.

Clean plates for spot printing? Fine. CMYK painting? No.

Late binding has been the path forever, and is the only way forward. As a result, anyone suggesting they need CMYK has a debilitating grasp of how printing works.

I wonder how long before Apple offers a One-Google like offering they really embrace the recurring revenue model. Imagine if Apple could get people to pay $20 a month for Photo storage, iCloud storage, some TV offering, and possibly some Apple Music.

I hate that we're in this in-between land that requires 3 or 4 different subscriptions to the same company whereas these things in my mind would just be bundled together.
Awesome or not - know of any use cases?
> We can’t change macroeconomic conditions, but we are undertaking and accelerating other initiatives to improve our results. One such initiative is making it simple [...]

As a naive person on the outside looking in, why are there no suggested changes to the clearly incorrect estimation approach, especially in volatile markets? If the numbers are not as expected why not look at expectation generation along with other factors instead of ignoring it? Or are they saying in so many words that they can't be blamed due to macroeconomic conditions? Sounds like such a volatile environment would require caution on these short term forecasts. Again I'm naive, I just didn't see it addressed.
He dances around the point so many times, but never comes out and says it (and of course he wouldn't) - The 2018/2019 lineup of iPhones is TOO EXPENSIVE and this is causing a significant number of people, particularly in "emerging markets" (i.e. poor people) not to buy iPhones.

The surprise is that they didn't expect that raising the price by 20% wouldn't have an impact like this
Doesn’t your argument also suggest using a 1-strike rule?

I think it also calls for looking at why recidivism rates are so high, and what can be done to lower them. If we can lower recidivism rates after the first crime then the benefits would be much greater than using 3-strikes to lower them after the third crime after which two more crimes have already occured.

I rode in a Model 3 several times this past weekend and my Camry 3 all this week. They are absolutely on par comfort-wise. Can't compare to an Infiniti since I've never ridden in one, but the Model 3 can't hold a candle to the Lexus's, BMW's, or Audi's I've ridden in.
Murderers should be in prison for as long as their victims are dead. If you intentionally kill someone, you clearly don't belong in society ever again.
Well, at least most people on there agree with me.
The iPhone XS was the exact same price as the X and that sold plenty fine. It wasn't the price as his letter points out, much to the dismay of many people.
I was very happy to hear of the disappointing sales. I hope they continue to disappoint until they have to make it happen.
A nicely written explanation that is also, unfortunately, incorrect.
I'll bite. Are you suggesting that the domain of my venture is not well thought out or are you suggesting that without working for a startup (and not a big company), it's useless to do a startup?
I'm sure that you're right. I wasn't asserting that nobody cares about color. I was disputing that everyone cares about color.

Or: since the car is actually more expensive out-of-pocket even after the price "drop", they're simply doing this to reduce the sticker price they quote on all of their marketing materials.

I didn't realize they offered web services to any significant degree. Any prominent examples besides MDN?
VMWare or VirtualBox image running a unikernel? I mean, the whole point of containers is that they are OS-dependent...
I don’t follow your logic. If Apple had handled the battery behavior as it does now, their iPhone sales would have been that much lower for many more years going back, as people would have opted for battery replacements over new phones.

Not the case in US research universities where science professors bring in large grants from usually the federal government to fund machines and grad students. The university takes an "overhead" cut of these grants of around 50%. So if a grant is $150k then the professor gets 100k to spend and the University gets $50 (and pays for buildings, electricity, admin, etc). Most studies show that the overhead the universities take is a net plus for them over the cost of the services they provide.
> In the past year, both Russia and China loudly proclaimed they had advanced this technology out of the testing arena and into production.

Announcing and having actual weapons (viable or even PoC) are vastly different things.

> Hypersonic is defined as anything flying at sustained speeds greater than 7409km/h

A ballistic missile at apogee can be traveling upwards of 18000km/h (5000m/s). It's entirely possible that the real novelty is merely one of nomenclature.

A new narrative by equivocation would not only serve the domestic interests of Russia and China, but also the interests of Western defense contractors. Which would explain the nonchalance of Western militaries, who appear not the least bit surprised or bothered by the announcements. Though I wouldn't expect that to last as policymakers, at the behest of defense contractors, demand responses.
I agree from an ethical point of view and will change the domain.

> Everyone says "Google" to mean "do an internet search". It's still a registered trademark and you can't promote your own product using that name.

You're right, but there are counterexamples. [I'm not a lawyer but...] There is such a thing as a "generic trademark" where former trademarks like "Escalator", "Thermos", "Hovercraft", "Videotape", "Teleprompter", "Aspirin" etc. have been "genericized".

Apparently Google won their lawsuit because "Google" is a very distinctive word.

For me "geoip" felt/sounded generic and I see a lot of geolocation plugins and services using the term in their names, descriptions, etc.
