How are these different issues to the ones that are voted on?

I fail to see any separation. Immigration is directly related to community, regulation to justice etc...

I think you're far too quick to make assumptions about what the baseline of shared values actually is. Yes, it may be easy for us to say that most people think violence, dishonesty or crime are bad things, but absolutely everyone on earth has a different definition for each of those, and differing ideas about to whom or what such definitions should apply.

At a certain point, there are hard lines in the sand, across which it is impossible to find common ground. For me, and many others, this issue is one of those.
What a surprise. But still we should continue to think about them as a company working to make the world a better place... Everything is fine.
Don't be evil (to your shareholders, of course, not the public at large, Google is still a corporation after all).
Dividends are not some magic; they are taken out of the share price. There's not really a difference between reinvested dividends vs. no dividends at all. And non-reinvested dividends are less optimal as you'll pay taxes on them, so you actually have less net worth from collecting and not reinvesting dividends vs. either reinvesting them, or investing in a company which doesn't yield a dividend.

It's a fallacy that many people fall for though. See Berkshire Hathaway for the prime example.
Very true, I will add that and more !
PyPy for low-latency systems
If it becomes possible to get the key and decrypt content in a user-friendly package, it enables downloading of content from smaller providers that currently isn't pirated widely.

I used to work for a commercial Belgian broadcaster that puts almost everything they broadcast online for 7 to 30 days after broadcast, and heavily uses Widevine L3 (along with PlayReady and FairPlay). Their content isn't popular enough to be widely pirated, but before only offering DRM'ed streams episodes would often hit YouTube as soon as they were put online. The broadcaster isn't big enough to be targeted by 'professional' pirates.

If users once again get the opportunity to use simple downloader apps/extensions to get unencrypted video files, it's going to mean either a revenue loss for the broadcaster (as people will go to YouTube to watch ad-free variants), or users will lose access to content on devices that don't support Widevine L1 (which is unlikely to happen as it'd exclude Chrome, for example).

I will always agree that having a disposable device brings a peace of mind.

Unfortunately, my device is needed also for work -- and the ways I am using it are very strictly bound to the smartphone format.

I am not a social networks addict. My device works for me, not I for it. But I still need the bigger screen, the touchscreen and all the apps.
Whats to screw up? They haven't really promised anything, or announced Fuchsia in a consumer facing way. Some tech people seem hyped about Fuchsia but I still get the feeling its mostly an experiment that Google will roll back into Android or ChromeOS.
SF and the Bay Area are two very distinct places. The Bay Area is literally a series of midwestern towns dotted by dot com campuses. SF is a cesspool of homelessness and vanity. I love the bay, hate SF.

Also San Diego has tons of homeless too, and it has none of the tech scene. People are homeless in California because A) It has weather you can be outside in year round, especially in SoCal B) Our government is corrupt and is the cause of a serious housing crisis to keep prices inflated C) Cost of living is inflated by the housing crisis.
There's a language community investigating those ideas here: https://www.eff-lang.org/ . As they brag:

Respectfully, there's another number in the equation: install base.

25 years ago there was a much smaller base of game systems and capable PCs than exists today. At basically 0 incremental cost for each additional copy produced the big game publishers are still making more money than they did previously.

How can a newspaper prove that the block wasn't generated prior to the publish date? If I were to hash the headlines from a 1969 "ON THE MOON!" article, would it prove that my block is older that the bitcoin's genesis block?
This kind of smug armchair analysis is great as long as all your projects are just a couple of thousand lines. Try updating in "a day or so" when you have millions of lines of Python 2 code. And your code runs at hundreds of customer sites. "Two years or so" is much more realistic. If and only if you have the manpower.
In some cryptocurrencies that is certainly the case. If you look at the ETH ecosystem, it is massively concentrated and thus will never be decentralized in any meaningful way. With POW, anyone could participate, with POS most people will never have any ability to realistically participate.

Just to clarify a bit in an edit here -- As a general comment about POS vx POW, you have to purchase a huge amount of the cryptocurrency to participate in POS in a meaningful way -- so there is a cost to that just as there is in mining. The recurring costs of electricity are not there in POS of course.

Vespa, a 72-Year-Old Italian Star Barely Showing Its Age
I found the following passage remarkable:

In another recent incident that gave me chilling insight into the power of government surveillance, I met with a sensitive and well-placed source through an intermediary. After the meeting, which occurred a few years ago in Europe, I began to do research on the source. About an hour later, I got a call from the intermediary, who said, “Stop Googling his name.”
You actually only have to go back a year or two to pick up AAA titles for £5 or so.

I recently picked up Batman Arkham Knight for £4 and Doom for ~£7. Both absolutely phenomenal games, graphics that rival anything out in 2018 and of course all those nasty PC port bugs totally squashed.

It also means building a PC capable of doing them justice is a little more affordable too.

The presence of a provocation doesn't mean we need to get provoked.
To be clear it is inappropriate to call someone insincere when there isn’t good evidence for it. I see people throwing around the word “disingenuous” in Hacker News comments a bit too often. It’s an ad hominem disguised as actual discourse and a rare enough word that some people gloss over it or need to look it up. The accusation detracts from discussion about the topic at hand.

The idea that you were misusing the word was more appealing than the truth that you knew what it meant.
How Docker uses cgroups to set resource limits
Sure, positions on fairness and justice are shared. As are the requirement to breath air, drink water, eat food, and many other commonalities that are universally shared with pretty much all the people of world. Those positions are just not very relevant. Why have nation states at all, since we all share these values?

The small issues at hand are core to the role and conception of the nation state, and how it is changing in a globalizing and regionalizing world. Chris Grey wrote a very good article on this yesterday: http://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2019/01/britain-is-o...

I really enjoy reading content that elicits more questions than answers provided. This is one of those pieces and mirrors my experience as well. I lived/grew up in Columbus, Ohio, before moving to the Bay. Columbus has a very nice tech scene, but also boasts industry diversification. I can code, but my neighbors/friends might be in insurance, healthcare, logistics, retail (L Brands) and have a shared standard of living. I ended up moving back and enjoy my $1.4k apartment in a great, quiet neighborhood and 5-7 minute commute to work downtown. I think the Bay Area could benefit from such diversity.

That, too. I don't see any deal as likely, however - Tories seem to be steering for a hard Brexit, and Labour only presents token effort against. Hard Brexit forecast, with showers of martial law likely.
I definitely agree with this and want to add that coding _well_ is difficult for people of all experience levels, it's not something developers get nailed down their first couple years of working and then have forever. But producing excellent code that is easy to work with can help with the culture part. I've worked with very knowledgeable and experienced engineers that could crank out plenty of buggy and convoluted code that caused other people headaches. Writing clean and well designed code makes coworkers lives easier.
Cython is basically C in Python syntax with some convenience features.

Unless you know C it's not always worth using. Without doing any "C stuff" (i.e. just writing Python and compiling with Cython) you get about a 50% speedup in tight loops; sometimes that's good enough, other times it's not.

To go any faster than that, you basically need to start writing C code, using the CPython API, using Cython's badly under-documented features for doing so.

Yes, it's stretching, but there is a section for it.

The keyword there is "Google". Everything is different at the extremes.
I think the big papers (New York Times, Washington Post) have always been the voice of the establishment. I remember reading their editorials broadly condemning the labor movement while it was fighting for basic rights (and being slaughtered by public and privatized law enforcement) in the middle of the 19th century. Perhaps at times more humanist than others, but nevertheless.

I also think it is really obvious that it would be this way. There is hardly any money in selling newspapers, even well before the internet completely obliterated that business. But shaping public opinion? That is valuable beyond measure, for the right (moneyed) interest groups.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that image is as crisp and clear as what a modern iPhone, Android, or any other modern smartphone produces in a similarly lit situation.

All small sensor-ed cameras, give up when lights get dim. Even some 35mm cameras have a hard time in low light situations. This problem is barely being solved with some of the computational photography that the Pixel does. Why? Physics of light collection on tiny image sensors.
It's kind of silly; you can very easily set a PBX into a mode where any registered user handset will dial out by default, and can't use the PBX features like forwarding (but circuits created by the PBX's internal logic still can, so you don't lose features like ring pools for font-gate access.)
Status symbol smartphones are a fact of life for many. Just 3 days ago I've seen a drunk girl boasting her brand new Note 9 in a company. In her excitement and joy she dropped it and shattered the screen. Then started crying.

But you should not generalize. Many people, me included, made a rational analysis and chose the iPhone for the unqestionable benefits it offers (and for personal philosophy reasons like Apple's stand on privacy).

As usual, it's not about if something is "overpriced". It's about if the device commands enough added value so the customer deems the price fair. MANY people, me included, find the Apple tech expensive. But for the things I am looking for in my mobile and personal computing needs they don't have competition. So we swallow the price and pay up. It's pretty simple.

I feel a lot of people feel the need to express contempt and call many Apple users "iSheep" but they are missing a lot of legitimate factors in the process.
We are creating them. Not through cloning, but the old way. Once you realize that, everything falls into place.
Technology, ranked
Generally speaking in the context of normal, non-game apps I’ve found it rather difficult to write Swift or Objective-C in such an inefficient manner that it keeps the CPU spinning and heats up your device. It’s possible for sure but also requires crazy levels of laziness, incompetence, lack of understanding, or some combination thereof.
I'm a huge Mass Effect fan. I played Mass Effect: Andromeda for about 30h at launch. For a CAD$80 game, that wasn't a good investment.

I also love System of a Down. Probably paid sub-$100 for their discography. Must have hundreds of hours of listening pleasure. Isn't this a better value than ME:A?

I'm also a huge Star Wars fan. The $30 I paid for the movie ticket and the popcorn combo when I went to see Rogue One brought me much more pleasure than those 30h of ME:A, so was this a better value?

I know, that's one game, one artist, one movie, but that's just to illustrate that it's not that clear-cut.
It's for protectionism (though in practice the EU lifted existing domestic protectionist barriers on intra-EU flights whilst keeping them against outside nations)

Reciprocity is important here. If EU rules imposed no operator nationality restrictions (other than safety ones) on operating intra-EU flights, there'd be no reason for a protectionist US or UAE to negotiate deals allowing EU carriers to fly into their country at all, and those countries' carriers would be able to use their monopolies on intercontinental routes into the EU as the starting point to dominate all the profitable intra-EU routes from their European hubs too.

Geez - I am not labeling "me" as a terrorist -- What I am saying is that if anyone wanted to have a major material impact on the largest companies in the world - with them offshoring most of their revenues in the carribean banks to avoid taxes - those tiny islands must have poorly protected infrastructure...

I find it ironic that Google and Apple and FB have extremely well protected physical security surrounding their datacenters, but have trillions of dollars in assets in little Island banking systems which likely have few, and easily accessible, physical undersea cables providing their main services....

> Apple never co-locates with a Dollar Tree store

Is that because Apple doesn't want to be tainted by that brand...or because there's minimal overlap in customer bases?

If Dollar Trees are bringing in the money and the customers, then either Apple DOESN'T belong there, or they'll start to share customers. Either way, I think the "banality" of the brand is at best an inefficient way to look at it and at worst a misleading one.

This assumes that paying tax makes the world a better place. I am sure Bill Gates has played similar accounting tricks and look, he's about to rid the world of Malaria.

Do you have an example of precedence that supports this extremely user hostile view of Apple?
And do what ? It's not like there is $23B in cash laying around for them to steal. Even if they went and stole the hardware server they wouldn't have the money.

They would have more luck by taking Larry Page hostage (and no, it wouldn't work either).
Ok, that makes sense. (I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole technicality of "binding" vs. "advisory")
Genuine question - what do you think that would achieve?

edit: just to pre-empt any confusion, I'm not accusing you of wanting to do this. I'm just curious what you think someone interested in this would expect from it. Other than to bloody the noses of the elites and make them a little uncomfortable for a short period, I can't see any real impact unless an attacker goes further than DDOS or cutting cables (e.g. if they were to steal some of the money as well, or wipe records)

I buy the story about rates and mobility falling in general, although I think this a longer term trend.

Mostly, if wages stagnate, people don't buy homes. Not rocket science. Been going on for nearly 50 years now.
Quite interesting -- that was exactly the reason why I was wondering if I should gift my X to my mother when I decide to buy my next iPhone. And like you I feel it might be confusing.

I miss more physical buttons. The first semi-smartphone devices were perfect. They had 6-10 physical buttons and still plenty of screen. Nowadays everything is gestures. :(

With emerging tech like radar-like detectiong of gestures above the screen I feel this trend will become even worse.
