I'm way more inclined to use something on a daily basis that I pay for to be honest as this means I have some kind of influence on how long the project will be around that I incorporate in my workflow. At least a little bit more than if I use a free product.

I don't mind paying for quality software and I think a lot macOS users feel the same way.
I'm curious, if you don't mind sharing, what age range are you? In my undergrad (5 years ago), big events with 100s of people were just mass invites. I never had big events like that out of not wanting to trash our house. The parties we had were around 50ish people and the only convenience that Facebook provided was less clicks to invite everyone. It also had the benefit of reminding people continuously what their Friday night plans are. I'm just struggling to understand the host that is unwilling to invite you because of a text message requirement but still judiciously picks which friends to invite via Facebook.
> I think it's debatable whether calling the dog or the owner the tortfeasor makes more sense

No, it's not. A tortfeasor has to be a person. Dogs are not legally persons, so they can't be tortfeasors.

> while the owner is responsible

Yes, exactly--just as any other tortfeasor is responsible.

> there's some simplicity in saying that the dog broke the rule of the road that lead to the accident.

You could say the dog "broke" the rule in the sense that it moved its body in a way that the rule prohibits; and in a mundane description of the facts of the accident, yes, that's what you would do. But the dog is incapable of understanding the rule in the first place, so the owner is responsible for training it appropriately (or, as I would imagine is much more common these days, keeping it on a leash and exercising reasonable prudence in controlling the dog).
Anecdotally, I just ran a speed test and got 140Mbps up/35Mbps down with 31ms latency on LTE. I’m in SF.
I was more shocked of the pee-filled bottles on the bridge. This hints to deep cultural problems being present and an utterly incompetent upper management.
Well,

Given extremely ambiguous information, the chance of something like Oumuamua being an alien probe depends very strongly on the chance of an alien civilization producing something like this. And those chances are beyond anyone knowing. The Bayesian priors are just unguessable.

This bears some same issue facebook has:

1: Some of the people who matters may not have an apple device/account now or may not have one in the future

4: With Apple services, you're not free to switch platforms and your data is not on your own computer

If the data is valuable then one should have an off-site backup anyway.

I use an old laptop pretty much in the same way that the author uses his Pi's. While it's fairly new SSD is much more reliable than the Pi's SD card I would never store anything important on it unless I'm certain it's backed up somewhere else as well.
Disagree. GP comment's language "joining coinbase was a no-brainer" was as pathetically guileless as SV gets. There is no world in which joining Coinbase was a "no-brainer," even if it was the right decision. Coinbase is a company with basically only one purpose - helping people buy and sell crypto currency. That it helps less technical people do that, or sharing a engineering manager with AWS Lambda doesn't exactly sell the idea that this is just the next obvious thing for Blockspring to do.

There was probably something wrong with the company. That's fine, that's okay, most companies fail. There's no shame in it.

We just don't enjoy being lied to badly. Lie better, at least.

I think that's just because the software landscape matured in general. More people use apps, more developer make a real business out of it instead of tinkering in their free time. A few years ago people around me would look at me weirdly for paying for apps for a phone. Now it's normal that you pay for some apps and subscriptions on a monthly basis.
Compared to most Android Wear devices Apple Watch is way closer to a phone than a watch...
The latest Qualcomm X24 can do 2Gbps, of course that is assuming your carriers and everything else aligned perfectly. In reality I am not aware of any Carriers in the world which has these kind of spectrum ready for 2GBps speed.
In Germany carriers heavily lobby to get a taxpayer funded development. Even some media outlets like „Der Spiegel“ fell for it (the most popular German website that does not support https by default...)

Just recently some journalist cover the biological aspects of 5+ GHz radio on humans which assume that there are true risks compared to the sub 2 Gigahertz bands.
> In a situation where the dog or owner isn't negligent but the driver is, it's useful to talk about whether the dog was on the leash, in the crosswalk, has right of way, is walking with the walk signal on, and is visible.

All those things, as you say, can bear on the driver's responsibility (or the owner's responsibility, if, for example, the owner allowed the dog to go out into the street when the walk signal wasn't on). But that's part of the factual description of the case. It does not assign fault to the dog; if the dog did something like go out into the street when the walk signal wasn't on, that makes it the owner's fault, not the dog's.
The design reason for a circular watch is that it visually matches the many round things on a human (pupils, appendage cross sections, breasts, etc) more than the zero rectangular things on a human (front teeth maybe?)
My browser can't even play that and whats me to download a .mov file. No ty.
Not surprising at all. There's been a lot of pushing against free speech, as well as a redefinition of "free speech" as "free speech only for topics that I do not find controversial", which interestingly matches Stalin's or Mao's or Hitler's definition of free speech.
China controls how capital can leave the country. There is a lot of money just sloshing around within China hungry for investment. And the financial sector is relatively underdeveloped with a volatile stock market.

As a result, Chinese money loves chasing bubbles in search of returns, like P2P lending and crypto.
This is great news! I love to see new companies in this field.

Maybe you do! But you also want the dog to get a walk in the middle of the workday.
It probably will. Compare their challenge before - paying to acquire users with a huge content library - to what they have to do now - pay to acquire users with a content library that does not really exist, that they have to pay to build out. I can't imagine how they can manage this financial burden, not to mention actually producing good stories, and recognizable IP.

I'm lucky because I sold those 95% of cards (collection) back in the day and have only a playing deck left which I kept in the drawer for 20y. I was astonished to find that Mishras Workshop is $1k (also lucky that I've kept all cards in sleeves from the beginning).
Yes, there's hype and confusion around latency and 5G. Already with LTE most of the latency you're seeing comes from the network side, not from the radio link itself. And LTE latency can be low enough for customer application as you're experiencing.

"low latency" for 5G is related to a variant called URLLC, for Ultra-reliable and low-latency. 5G is an umbrella for 3 different variants:

1) eMBB: the massive broadband with higher speed, mostly with mmWave. This is associated with the 3GPP "NR" (New Radio) cellular standard;

2) massive IoT: this will actually be done based on LTE CatM and NB-IoT for a long while, with small improvements in release 15. It can be confusing, but the "Gs" are performance requirements defined by the ITU-T, and not a specific technology. Then a tech that meets the 5G requirements can claim (honestly, without marketing hype) to be 5G. It turns out that for massive IoT LTE meets the 5G ITU-T specs. Later on there will be a new tech based on NR, but nobody is in a hurry there, as LTE IoT is ok;

3) URLLC, the optimized for low-latency variant based on NR.
URLLC is the less clear of the 3 really. The vision is to use NR for industrial control applications, and maybe VR/AR for consumer too. There are low-level optimizations down to the radio framing layer to reduce latency. Lots of fuzzy visions, but I'm not sure anyone has a clear business case. The work on this at 3GPP (the organization defining the LTE and NR specs) is progressing slowly. In particular there's always a cost to reduced latency, so it won't be for free. Private usage for factory could make sense, but consumer use is less clear.

There's a tendency to confuse the "regular 4G/5G" with URLLC, but the later is a different beast and not solid yet.
Yea...because you totally forgot all the data loading and handeling that needs to be done in a performant way

If you pay attention to enough tech talks, “open source intel” is wonk parlance for “we are watching every move for everyone ever, all over the internet, especially in the places where people feel like they can speak freely.”

That term, “open source intel” is dropped with a wink, by every security goon, in at least one slide at every security conference.
There was a comment that is now removed that said:

> Spoken like someone who's never lost family.

in reply to the parent's comment that said:

> You killed someone's dog. This hits like losing family."

My comment will probably be flagged as well, but fine, I'll sacrifice some karma to show my support. I lost my mother due to cancer when I was eleven and I personally find it offensive when someone tells me they know "what it is like" because they lost a pet.

Sure, there are people who have horrible family members that mistreated or abused them, so the loss of a dog means more than the loss of that relative, but if you're going to claim that it is comparable to lose a human being that meant everything to you because an animal died, then we just have a totally different set of moral axioms and are fundamentally incapable of seeing the world in the same way.
I’m currently reading a book where Nokia’s Head of Board Risto Siilasmaa explains how his ”paranoid optimism” has helped him a lot in leading the transformation of Nokia. He says that he has a habit of always thinking through all the bad outcomes of different situation but through optimism. I believe this book could help you.

I'm not suggesting it would mortally wound me, just what I said - it'd be a little worse.

I'm aware people managed before, but things have changed. I was just responding to a person talking about the myriad ways they get invited to things. Those simply don't happen to me. Everything is Facebook.

Marriages aren't really what I'm worried about (if I'm being invited to a wedding they're presumably the sort of friend who'll contact me directly) - it's the "Hey, it's my birthday, let's go down to the pub and knock back a few" sort of things.

I'm not afraid. If I were told tomorrow that I could never use Facebook again I'd be just fine, but I actually don't want to lose those things. I'm not really looking for head-patting, but people's experiences and whether/how they preserved those relationships.
If the founders are happy with this outcome it’s a success. You don’t get to define their success criteria as a bypasser.
32. I never went to events with 100s of people.

Birthday parties are usually 10-30 people and invites are sent to, for example, school friends, many of whom you see maybe once a year if that much because you now live in different cities or even different countries.
Me and my colleagues have benefitted greatly from Sequel Pro over the years. Recent Mojave complaints aside it's been close to perfect. It's eye opening to think we have paid nothing. Maybe companies should look into implementing 1% turnover to OSS. I'm guessing having bi-annual company votes about how to distribute the funding, and communicating this in the recruitment process might offset some/all of the cost.
Anything that exists on facebook is there to profit facebook not the user.

if facebook messenger exists, it is not to provide intimacy but for some reasons aligned with facebook interests such as getting the people online on facebook longer to peek further in their life and social links to feed the investor storytime narrative that facebook will collect more data to eventually be able to target people efficiently enough at some point in the future so that investor will make a big ROI.

Then again email vs instant messaging is an old debate and email does provide much better conversation and intimacy due to its asynchronous nature.
>It's 2019, and this isn't a solved problem yet

One might argue it's not really a problem, more like a solution looking for a problem (and bringing many problems of its own).
I absolutely agree, subscriptions are the way to go for making your software business sustainable and better scalable R&D investments to maintain growth. Gitlab is an example of this in the dev tooling space.

I've bought Mailplane v3 for my Mac a few years back. The app did not get new features, only patches. New features came out with v4, which required another purchase. I didn't buy it because v3 is good enough, buying again is a psychological wall. If it was a subscription I'd be happily paying them and happily using the latest version.
Yeah, well, commanding a US Navy nuclear sub pales in comparison with his years of experience commenting on and criticizing posts on Hacker News.

Evites aren’t very flexible though; one of the very useful features of facebook events is for organizing the members, e.g. “what are people bringing to the potluck?” “Does anyone have food restrictions?”
I don't honestly know what they are talking about (unless there are some new changes they are gradually rolling out and I haven't received the update yet).

Left column: 7 repos I'm contributing to (out of a few dozen), 7 teams I'm a part of (out of about 12)

Middle column taking up ~70% of screen width: 3-4 updates from "recent activity" which has a lag of a few minutes (my own PRs don't show up there until after some long unspecified time).

This is followed by "All activity" which is more of the same, but with way more wasted space. But since GitHub seems to think it's a social network, it's also flooded by things like "Your friend starred a repo you don't care about".

Right column: Discover repositories. Three repositories from projects I may or may not care about.

How is this useful in any way? Oh. The right column also boasts a text which reads "Welcome to the new dashboard. Get closer to the stuff you care about most." which is a link to the Github Blog post above.
This is exactly what makes Facebook so dangerous. Because so many people are blindly following it, it makes it hard to leave. Network effects are strong and make Facebook immensely powerful, and it is never good when any company wields such power.

Also, I think this is also politics. It's not good when people basically force you to use Facebook, otherwise you'd be cut off mostly. A change is impossible when some people aren't taking a stand.
Just installed it for the first time in a few years.

- Again I wonder why it doesn't show the tables first, I have to go through Schemas -> Public.

- 480 MB of RES RAM, I'm connected to one smallish Postgres DB.

- I can't even find "just show me the contents of the table, like 'SELECT * FROM'.

I know, maybe it's tailored for Enterprise Database Architects, but this is my smoke test for a DB GUIs:

"How long and how many clicks does it take so that it provides more value than: 'psql; \dt+; SELECT * FROM X;'"
All jetbrains products have a licence witch grants you the right to use the tools you buy forever(Without updates). If you buy a tool in 2019 you get a licence for 2019.1 and updates for a year. So if you never update you only have to pay once.
>with people generally not needing more data

I don't see that anywhere. All the data has shown average Data usage per user is still increasing YoY. And as new younger population comes to age, replacing older generation which are less tech savy, Data usage will only continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

We certainly do not want to pay more, but I have never heard anyone who does't want more data, assuming they are not on unlimited plan.

Twitter Flaw exposed some Android users’ Private tweets for 4 years
The author wrote the post because of the company's post-accident behavior, not because there was an accident. His point is that Wag isn't sharing information about what happened, or what parties are involved. Without this information, the author is completely helpless. And the only way to get anything from Wag is to pre-emptively forego all recourse, including sharing his story. This is the primary focus — not on the mere fact of the accident.
I've never personally used it, but I'm fairly sure you can use Azure Data Studio[0] for plain MSSQL databases, despite Azure being in the name. I'd be in interested in what people think of it, since I've never seen anyone talk about this in the wild.

The people in China are also heavily insulated from history of government overreach, and more culturally geared towards ignoring government overreach.
> JDBC drivers can not use a socket connection

As someone that has done lots of Java development you have lost me there, as JDBC drivers obviously do make use of network connections, usually TCP/IP sockets.
What you are describing is 'Hard Science Fiction', and yes, a lot of scifi has very fantastical elements. Some use "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" as an excuse, but I think the reality is that it is easier to write compelling stories and create spectacle if you can ignore the limits that 'Hard Science Fiction' puts on you, because you can just make shit up. So there is more of it. Also, you are describing realistic, near future fiction, and that by definition will not have a shelf life of more than a few years and decades will be the outlier. Almost the entire Cyber Punk genre is now really Alternate History. I haven't seen a cathode ray tube in years.

I don't think it is particularly new. Maybe its more obvious now because there is more bleed between Science Fiction and Fantasy as separate genres. You had your Azimovs and Clarks, but you also had your Dicks, Zelaznys and Moorcocks.
Evites have comments also. But I will say that the last time I used evite, the message went to the spam folder for several gmail users. Next time I'm going back to email!

Well in the case the dog has already been hit and is facing either death or the possibility of salvation by some means then perhaps I might agree that them sweeping our four legged friend under the proverbial rug might be, not necessarily the most moral course of action, but perhaps the most expedient.

The comment that you want to maximize the likelihood the dog survives was referring to the point of market entry after you have decided you want someone to sit your dog but haven't yet selected a provider. They certainly don't have an incentive for the dog to die in that case, unless we invoke a conspiracy theory that they actually also run the doggy crematorium and thus win twice on the deal. But that's a mildly absurb prospect.

I am also younger (mid 20s) and I've had my FB deactivated for several years now; I also don't have Instagram or Snapchat. I admittedly do use Meetup.com and its app. Initially, I deactivated FB because I felt it was an addictive time-sink (as Semaphor mentioned elsewhere). Now, I spend a lot of time wondering whether I should completely delete it, because I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much.

I just text everyone I want to talk to.

Maybe it's because I went to a decently sized high school (a little under 2000). Or maybe it's because I currently live in a large city (top 20 populated city in the U.S.) Or maybe it's because I'm an extrovert.

But I would probably be overwhelmed by the sheer number of events my social network would produce on FB. I already accompany friends to events thrown by friends of friends pretty frequently.

How often do you go to these birthdays of people you barely hang out with? The average person has like 300 friends on FB. The median number is about 150-200. That's a lot of birthdays.
That's not what working class means. If you earn money by working, then you are working class. If you earn money investing capital, then you're a capitalist. The working class can be further divided up, but those are all subcategories. A professional or a manager (petit bourgeois) are still working class. If you're a one-man company, then you're still working class.

You only transition once your investment returns surpass your income. Which is why truly rich people don't give a shit about income tax - they don't have income!
And when does 18 US Code have any Nexus for the example situation?. Hint: not in the stated examples, outside Federal land.

That's pretty normal. You get people on watch for 4 to 6 hours at a time. They can't leave. The bottle is sometimes the only option.

You can try and get a relief so you can go to the head, but it's generally frowned upon if your that guy that always needs a head break, and in the middle of the night, no one wants to wake up so you can go pee.
Hmm, that's a very good point, that speaking of the mistake by the dog (which the dog didn't have any way of knowing better) in the factual description is separate from assigning the fault. I concede the point and agree that the dog is never at fault in an accident.

The only argument I have remaining is that while it's an incorrect statement, I don't think saying the dog is at fault in an accident is insulting, because being at fault in an accident is often only an honest mistake (albeit sometimes with tragic consequences).
So who will pay for it? The customers won’t directly pay more. In Germany lobbying towards subsidies is underway. I assume either that will be successful or we just have to wait until UTMS investments paid off...
