You better update Wikipedia with that information then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_OS

> Amazon Fire OS is an Android-based mobile operating system produced by Amazon ....

The A in AOSP stands for Android. Android Operating System

Guess you're splitting hairs and trying to say Android based isn't the same as saying Android.

I would argue that the AOSP is Android (and that's what Wikipedia confirms here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) )

You're getting it confused with Google Mobile Services which is the crapware in question.

> Android is also associated with a suite of proprietary software developed by Google, called Google Mobile Services[10] (GMS) that very frequently comes pre-installed in devices, which usually includes the Google Chrome web browser and Google Search and always includes core apps for services such as Gmail, as well as the application store and digital distribution platform Google Play, and associated development platform. These apps are licensed by manufacturers of Android devices certified under standards imposed by Google, but AOSP has been used as the basis of competing Android ecosystems, such as Amazon.com's Fire OS, which use their own equivalents to GMS.
I actually thought there was something really enjoyable about not have it super obvious and shoving pointers and instructions at you.

It felt fun to explore and learn what it is
Sure, but let’s be honest, back in 2007 when the first iPhone came out it was a huge deal that Verizon, et al couldn’t install crap on it by default because it came straight from Apple.

No “normal human” is ever going to install their own OS on anything. At least Apple enforces some standards...
Getting my main banned for botting.

Pretty easy cut to make when everything is lost and you have to start over. I tried it again a year or two ago and it just wasn't fun anymore.
261 lines of Rust. Hot damn, I couldn't do it in Python.

As someone who is considering learning Rust, this may just have pushed me over the edge.
Same goes for most engineers and programmers.
Also strongly agreed.
I don’t understand this at all. The dude you’re responding to is clearly criticizing sexism rather than reinforcing it. There is absolutely nothing in his comment to suggest that “only women can be cheats.”
More to the point, the West could no longer afford colonialism in the post-WWII era. Empires were impractical.
Works for me on the Fox. Though I'm probably not on the absolute latest.
As with whales, people have annual layers of earwax that build up and can be counted - the physical evidence in this specific case came from the disgusting and rather fragrant forensic evidence based on core samples taken from the ear.
Let’s say you worked at Enron and did this. You would lose your job and the value of your shares on the same day. There are non zero costs to job switching, especially if there is a huge spike in people suddenly on the job market at the same time, in the same area, with the same skillset and the same employer with a bad reputation.

The only time it really makes sense not to sell an RSU instantly is if there is some extra tax consideration that can be avoided by selling slightly later or some similar benefit.
This is a double edged sword. China is increasing it's influence in Africa through it's debt and road .. ahem, I mean, belt and road.. initiative and is arguably the most influential great power in Africa.

It's doubtful, even in the long term that Mandarin will challenge English and French with respect to influence in Africa, but language is one of the strongest signifiers of cultural influence, and it's obvious that China is looking to tighten its influence on Africa.

That being said, the ability to speak Mandarin can only be viewed as a benefit. English is the de facto international language but there is an obvious advantage to fluency in a language spoken by the 2nd largest economy and 1.5 billion people.

Based on what other commenters are saying, it sounds like the author purposefully ran into problems so they would have a story to write.

I oscillate between reason and impulse. We are creatures of habit and the environment in which we act is full of nudges toward omnivorous decisions.
I believe this is the cause, if you want my speculative hot take. But, to be clear, I feel like I am insanely biased about this viewpoint in particular because I live in Irvine, CA.

I didn't take the criticism of editing LaTex as anything to do with color schemes, but rather that you had to mentally skip over all the formatting text. For some that will be easier than others, but it's silly to ignore that there are alternatives that don't require that skill.
That's still an ICE though.
There is absolutely no reason for ride sharing to not be a protocol. Drivers join a federated network of other drivers they "agree" with and you pick the driver pools you want (and they could be local drivers, or they could be drivers that meet some criteria or vetting process). You could have any number of ride share apps that use the protocol and interface with server infrastructure of each network.

If you distribute the authority in the system you decentralize the power structures that produce hostile actors like the brass of Uber and Lyft. Nothing says each city can't have its own app and own driver cooper so long as my app from my city can speak your cities language when I'm there.
The logo shows a small part of this molecule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexanitrodiphenylamine

.. which is apparently also called "Hexyl". Granted, I was just looking for a short word that starts with "Hex" and I was never good at organic chemistry :-)
It's like go-carting. People like to race cars without having to be skilled or deal with the risk of being in a car. Most cars already have a bunch of electronic nannies(eg: stability and traction control, abs brakes) to prevent people from spinning their car out into a tree. Also, nannies to prevent them from ruining their car like rev limiters.
Just like the USA can, if they chose to.
Obviously yes for most people, since vegans are a tiny minority. Bit of a high horse you're on there.
Uber Pop (=private drivers) got banned in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Belgium [1], Uber Black (=cars for hire, with pro driver) got banned in Germany [2]. Given that Germany, France, Italy and Spain are the Top 5 EU economies by BIP (with the half-exception of UK where Uber simply ignores court rules), I'd say "took a beating" is the most civil way to write what really happens.

ELI5 : It is 2019. Why isn't everybody using pubkey crypto for email?

i.e., transparent support of:
* I publish a public key
* Anyone can use it to send me an encrypted email
* I use my private key to read
* as a bonus, I sign my email with my private key
* anyone can verify with my public key
This was the exact reason I stopped listening to NDT's Star Talk. Wayyy too many mediocre jokes, intros, outros, how's it goings, what's ups, wayyy too little science.
> In fact, it could be argued that the athletic departments themselves are already serving ss genetically gated dating services for elite genes. Stanford crew girl has a thing for Stanford wide receiver is a lot easier method of getting good gene sets together than testing millions of people and trying to make matches by computer that you hope the people will like. (And I'd wager that if we were to put together a dating service that tried to match good genes, the crew girl and the wide out would create superior offspring in any case. [I don't like using the word "superior", but you get what I mean.])

Super duper insightful man.

But both problems you’re discussing have already been solved:

Prostitution.

>how to get nines and tens to use your service at all?

Build a walled garden, I.e. the Raya app.
Okay, I am in the habit of using pulls, and even some micros have pulls that can be switched in. That may be pointless when there is only one slave on the SPI, as it probably is in the attacked system, as the /CE is probably strapped active so the device will never switch that pin to high Z.

Hi. I'll admit to getting a bit frustrated because I seem to need to repeat the same point over and over again, and the responses aren't addressing the point made.

Yes, you need luck and opportunity to become Jackie Chan. But there's more ways to be successful than becoming Jackie Chan. He can inspire them to be themselves and not let their situations get them down.

That's what is meant by "anyone can do it." Not anyone can be Jackie Chan. But anybody can use the same inner tools that Chan did that got him famous, and chart the course of their own life. That's what's inspirational.
My little brother is 15. He had programmed before, but only on his graphic display calculator.
There's a lot of CUDA-specifc code out there. Even if you think you know exactly what you need, even if it claims to be compatible with AMD cards, you should seriously consider the possibility that you are wrong on one of those counts. I was, twice. Twice I had to sell my AMD cards, buy NVIDIA cards, and eat the spread. By comparison, just paying the "green tax" up front would have been cheap.

I want AMD to win, I really do, but I can't personally justify taking chances on them anymore.
Yeah, but that's comparing a mid 2019 chip to a chip you can buy today. Intel will probably make some announcement about their chip that's faster than this one right about the time this hits the shelves. It's the neverending rat race for chipmakers.
The USA used to have problems like that too (read The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, and many other works). The public demanded change, and got it. The same thing will happen in China. It's all part of the process of modernization.
rally purists would disagree.

> Cars should be meant for driving, not planning

If you take this attitude for a road trip anywhere outside of major suburbia in the U.S.; Good luck. From the Florida turnpike, Alabama/Mississippi, Texas, Route 56, the Rockies, the Smokies, or almost any coastal highway, if you wait until empty you're going to have a bad day.
My point #0 wasn't specifically aimed at you, but at the general state of the economic policy discourse. Sorry about that.

Coming from a STEM field myself, the state of economics with wildly different schools of thought is quite perplexing. But I guess that comes with the territory, considering that you can't really do society-wide experiments on different economic models, and even if you could, societies are so complex it's very difficult to discern the effect of a single measure.
I don't see how this "incumbency advantage" would help Intel, exactly. The server market is highly competitive. If AMD puts out superior product at an attractive price, nobody is going to say "but we've used Intel for a decade, how can we suddenly switch to AMD?!".
> perhaps dimmer versions than the ones we're familiar with

No, I think that's our subconscious desire to believe we are separate from the world around us speaking. They may experience and express feelings differently than we do, but that doesn't mean that experience is less meaningful.
Or integrated graphics.
This is absurd to say. China is the biggest Horatio Alger story of the 20th century. During my parents' lifespan alone, millions of people in China died of starvation and it is now one of the world's leading industrial powers.

China was extremely poor and now it is extremely rich as a mass phenomenon. It is not like a Gulf power in which a tiny elite of owners presiding over an army of imported indentures. Like any society in history there is inequality, but you have to be an insane ideologue to deny the reality of mass advancement in standard of living in China during the 20th and 21st century so far.
Exactly. You cannot make it without luck (you need to be in the right place at the right time), but you greatly improve your chances if you are at the right place most of the time.
Was it mandatory for students?

I don't know about the specifics of that case, but but if I was forced to learn a language solely because there are many people who speak that language in the country, I would be upset. I want to learn the languages that are more useful to me, not to other people.
I have the orange wrapped slices in my fridge solely because the children (who have terrible taste) beg for them. For myself I buy better cheese, but it's still a pretty far cry from fancy. We're talking cojack, swiss, provalone, and cheddar slices, shredded cheddar and mozzarella, and the occasional block of pepper jack. Usually from Aldi, but they could easily be found at any discount grocer. I feel like this is a pretty common state of affairs in middle America.
I guess that's possible. But history has shown that countries take over another through force. Not slowly and certainly not peacefully.

Which country has taken over another "slowly and peacefully"?

It's hyperbole at best to claim that kenya offering chinese as "an elective" ( not mandatory ) to its student is an "invasion". My high school offered spanish, french and japanese as language electives. Last I checked, we weren't invaded and conquered by spain, france or japan.
Memes to Movements: How [..] Viral Media Is Changing Social Protest and Power
It's "accurate" insofar as it correctly calculates the Consumer Price Index change over that period. However, the longer the period of time you consider, the less comparable purchasing power becomes and the more different the market basket of goods that go into the CPI become. Note also that house prices aren't included in the CPI.
Well, no, you can just hide the icon on the screen. That’s all that does, just like how you can ‘disable’ Facebook on the Samsung phones.
Yes, for native speaker would not happen that they change writing from normal fluency. What gain can be from changing normal grammatics or to use left hand?

Verily the poorly-skilled can never write better, and the better never poorer.

But are there known 'kidnap ransomers' that could be deduced through language? It seems unlikely, I guess, unless Norway has enough local variances that would give a native speaker away through dialect.
Control of android or being the alternative safe choice that everyone builds apps for is worth a lot of money, but you can also use it to reinforce use of your core apps, like google's gmail and search. microsoft instead lost people from using office apps on android, as they market decayed. sure, they are huge and rich and can afford it, and eventually got to office 360 and android versions of office apps. But it would have been even better for them have never had to suffer loss of marketshare to google docs, and they were fortunate to not loose too much share.
No but the person going in front of the judge is where the less clear the law is, the more of a chance for bias.
I get that. I understand why it is this way. But it is still counter-intuitive if you don't understand the physics (or your not a rocket scientist ;-)
Possibly sending money border to border for international workers. I have a friend in Thailand who sends money back to her family in Philippines every month and she gets hammered by fees. One day a stablecoin type crypto may be available with a < 1% fee.

Also banking the unbanked. There are a couple billion people without access to traditional banking. Most these people now have mobile phones, where instead of signing up at a bank, they could download an app where these people can store their value traditionally for the first time.
It makes them look important in the sense that Boettke is included and literally hundreds of people with more influence on the history of economic thought are omitted.

As an illustration of where the diagram creator's favoured economists sit in relation to mainstream thought that's fair enough, but as a guide to the overall field of economic thought it's akin to a family tree of "entrepreneur philosophies" which includes Carnegie, Ford, Welch, Buffett, Gates, Jobs, Musk and your friends' early stage startups.
It takes some serious introspection to see the similarities between ourselves and the other animals around us. At the same time we have trouble understanding the motivations and thinking of other human beings, much less a wildly different creature like a bird or a snake.

I can see why some people just stick their fingers in their ears and think of non-human animals as "Things" rather than thinking beings. Otherwise the world is far more terrible and cruel than bears thinking about.
> A rechargeable car a significantly more inconvenient product for most consumers

Actually, a rechargeable car is significantly more convenient than a gasoline car because you can charge it at home and/or work. You only ever have to wait for charging on long road trips.

If you take road trips over 250 miles on a monthly basis, or you can't charge at home or work, then by all means get a gasoline car. But I think that given people's driving patterns, the majority of people would spend less time overall waiting for charging than they would driving to the gas station and filling up. I certainly do.
A GDPR checklist goes against the basics of GDPR: privacy is a human right not a consumer right. Any site that provides a GDPR checklist should beter be discarded and not given attention.
I'd bet it's correlated to socioeconomic class. Younger, college educated, higher income, urban, and coastal are all probably markers of someone who is willing to spend more for better cheese. But there is quite a gap between Kraft/Velveeta and fancy cheese. I wouldn't say Tillamook or Cabot are fancy, just that they're decent cheese brands.

I also wouldn't classify Kraft slices or Velveeta as cheese, and the FDA doesn't either.
I don't think Chinese investment in Kenya (or the rest of Africa) is the same as colonization, at all. International trade and investment is a much more mutually beneficial relationship, with a strong track record of success. What's mostly different here is that China, rather then the US or Europe, is the dominant financial partner.

> Latinization

It's been always puzzling to me why borrowing Latin alphabet is usually considered today the only option. Many languages have phonetic alphabets of their own. Why is it that in the past people had no issue creating an original alphabet well suited for the language, and now the choice is between some bastardized form of Latin on the one hand and sticking to the inconvenient archaic writing system (however beautiful it looks) on the other.
It had an ICE-powered generator that could also be connected via clutches directly to the drivetrain for better efficiency at highway speeds.

ICE -> Generator -> Inverter -> Electric Motor is worse for efficiency at constant speed on the highway than just connecting the ICE directly to the wheels.

Sorta. Cheese can still go bad (or at least develop a form most people aren't interested in eating).

Part of the problem here is that storing milk as cheese is fine if you assume that in the future there will be less milk/cheese and you'll be able to unload your current stock. This will eventually happen, but along the way you're just going to see a ton of dairy farmers go under and who knows how long it's going to take for the market to stabilize"

I want to think that the future involves avoiding having to own bigger cars entirely and lease/rent an EV car plus credits for short-term rentals of different vehicles when needed.

Need a big SUV for skiing or camping? Swap your small EV for the weekend.

There's too many people I know that make vehicle purchasing decisions based on edge cases to avoid having to rent something different when they actually need it. We need to figure out how to give up large SUVs that only drive around a single passenger.
nVidia provides way more support for the ML community than AMD, and the ML community reciprocates by buying nVidia hardware. You can use AMD stuff, but it means being on the bleeding edge and doing the debugging yourself instead of being able to ask the community for help (via Google searches).

So yes you can use AMD hardware for it, but you end up making a lot more work for yourself to do so, and for little to no benefit to yourself.
As has been noted by others, we have never "had a go" at Clojure. Language designers and the people who build them have our respect, even if our choices differ. If we criticize them (and we do at times, being human, and thinking we're right ;^), we try to be fair. Rich Hickey's talks are some of my favorite to watch, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.

Of course everything has a cost, but to call us megalomaniacs is a bit harsh.

You didn't say you understood the reason, but I pointed it out in another reply here. By bootstrapping from Rebol, and being 95% Rebol compatible, we proved that Red could self host, and also leverage almost all the existing code when we get to that point.

To ask if we understand those issues comes across as insulting. Sure, we could be tech smart but miss obvious things, but that one we know about. ;^)
This sounds like BS to me. There are rules and exceptions to those rules one must learn/memorise, but I highly doubt it's "thousands and thousands".

There's a lot of English comprehension you get "for free" by knowing some of these rules, e.g., "magic e" or [the actually incorrect] "i before e, except after c".
> In China we effectively have a CEO in Xi Jinping, beholden to the board of investors that is the global economy.

I don't think Xi or the Communist Party view themselves as "beholden to the board of investors that is the global economy." Maybe they have use for those investors now, but they're working to make that temporary.
