Maybe they are advertising that as a meeting / dating activity specifically. We've got lots of themed speed-dating events already which have the sexual orientation tacked onto them implicitly. You'd just expect the default for "gardening speed dating" to be straight.
I appreciate you looking and following up. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with namecheap so I was extremely concerned.
What would you have us say instead? The story in the article describes behavior that's nothing short of reprehensible, with a tragic, absolutely unnecessary outcome.

Notice how every one of these tasks are things required of the engineer to satisfy the manager. None of it contributes to the productivity of the worker. And only a small portion of it has any relevance to the productive of the company as a whole.

In other words, the engineers would not notice if the engineering manager was not there (except they’d spend less time in meetings and reporting). And the company wouldn’t notice either — unless the engineers chose to use that extra time productively without being “managed” to.
I was researching this recently (why, I'll say in a sec), found a couple of interesting clack channels of sites people mentioned here: producthq, women in product, product coalition, product school, etc..

There processor design technology is ahead of the rest of the industry. The iPhone 6s from 2015 was faster than all 2018 Android phones in single core performance.

When you go down to processors like the ones in the Apple Watch or the AirPods, no one comes close to the size/power. There is a reason all Android watches are big ugly monstrosities.

You realize as far as marketshare, iOS has close to 50% in the US and well over 30% in most other industrialized nations. There is no exclusivity to owning an iPhone in developed markets.
There has been a production TWA in the Play Store for a while now - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

Works brilliantly.
It's reasonable to delay deleting encrypted data (which can take a long time) and just delete its keys (which is very fast) upon a user request to delete the data. If you believe in encryption, then once you delete the only remaining copies of keys, the encrypted data is as good as deleted.

So that's why it's a great idea to implement data deletion as a two-phase sequence of synchronous key deletion, then asynchronous low-priority block scrubbing (or marking free for reclamation).

But not handling the case where your system is confused whether the keys are deleted (versus just temporarily unavailable) is less of a great idea.
That's why I use Brave on mobile.

I would be interested in knowing how you calculated your numbers. I did some digging and found an old (10 years ago) report from the Univ of Illinois on the operating costs of taxis in Chicago. In round numbers, the typical taxi driver brought in just under 60K/year in revenue and had 42K/year in operating costs. Assuming there hasn't been a major upset since then, this is a very long ways from 10x.
How is anything a “status symbol” with over 30%-50% market share in industrialized nations?

There are a lot more reasons to buy iPhones than status symbols and privacy. Chief of which is better performance and longevity.

The iPhone 5s from 2013 is still getting OS updates. The iPhone 6s from 2015 will still outperform most new Android phones and should be getting updates for at least another two years.
Nice work. How many users? Are using some cloud services for the backend? Thanks in advance
"What Satya did was change Microsoft's image and culture for the better, insuring Microsoft's cash cows have a future and stay relevant in a world that is changing rapidly with other strong competitors.

Ballmer's style of leadership would not fly today. "

Totally disagree.

Which of MS customers do you think care about 'perception' of how nice the CEO is?

Do you think Siemens is going to spend $500M on Google cloud because their CEO is nicer than Ballmer was?

Which Windows users are thinking about Satya vs. Ballmer? 99% of Windows users have no idea who either of those people are :)

Satya's 'nice guy ways' are almost irrelevant to the business overall, other than maybe recruiting, or something like that, but I doubt they've ever had a problem.

Analysts and investors read GAAP statements and those are 100x more important than 'how nice' the CEO is perceived.

Some issues, like Linux as you mention, I think are important, but I'll bet that Ballmer would have arrived there anyhow.

Linux support was not so much a strategic decision as it was a 'forced hand'. They had basically no choice and the decision was inevitable.

I think that the reason Ballmer was disliked by Wall St. was A) the failure of Windows Mobile b) the perception that Windows was in decline (it's not) c) Cloud revenues had not yet hit the big time yet.

I actually feel that the P/E ratio pushed on Ballmer would have come around for him eventually.

I like Satya, I think he's the right choice - but he still has to prove himself. As of today, he's mostly riding Ballmer's coattails.

Ah, yes, the "TCP and UDP egress work unless you define an _ingress_ load balancing rule for either protocol, at which point the other protocol breaks until you create a dummy rule for the other protocol that will trigger your security team to send you tickets every few months."

This is actually huge news. I'm really excited about this!

I'm the author of a document management and annotation platform named Polar:

I'm working on the web+mobile version built on Firebase.

The PWA should be straight forward but don't want to have to build another mobile app for it.

With PWA this is going to be 100x easier.

Additionally, the Play Store is a major source of new users.

One of the things most independent app developers don't think about is distribution.

Being in the Play Store means people have another chance to find your app!

No? Then no, their reaction to something not working is not to immediately swear off that entire product category forever. Because, sooner or later, everything fails to work correctly in some fashion.
Their “April Fools” jokes made me realize the devs think my phone was just a toy and not a tool. Not that they owe me anything. Made me switch immediately to iOS.

The stock rise was a function of changing analyst ratios - not changing fundamentals.

Ballmer grew the company like a machine during his tenure.

Satya has been iffy, in fact, without 2018 numbers, quite unstable in fact. It's just that that 2018 numbers were good enough to bring everything back to nice growth.

Without a lot of movement in P/E ratios, both CEO's would have really been doing about the same.

Basically, the stock was held back for whatever reason during Ballmer years, even as sales were growing well. Then when Satya took over the ratios changed and the stock flipped up like an elastic.

Satya's a good guy and the right choice but I don't think he's done anything quite fundamentally important yet relative to Ballmer.
Are the services that ancestry and ‘23 and me’ do provided at a loss and made up with the data or is it profitable?

Why aren’t there companies out there doing this at a higher cost without the privacy implications? Just give the user their data and decoding software that is regularly updated with current information.

Seems like low end machines are about $100,000 so it seems like this would work? I would pay 3-4 times as much if I knew I controlled the results.
They tried this with the watch. There was a $17k version at launch, which later was downsized multiple times until it was eventually killed entirely in 2018. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/9/12/17851918/a...

The myth that Teraform makes cloud migration easy needs to die.

Have you looked at the different TF provisioners? They are all provider specific.

There are a lot of services on AWS that are specific to AWS that you would need to rearchitect your system to use. Even something as simple as an ETL process that lets you load directly from S3 into Redshift and Aurora.
Main point everyone is unsophisticated to just rely on tests (read for justification)

Perhaps not ban, but I would say testing can only tell you so much. It applies to pretty much to any digital system short of exhausting every possible state. Most modern devices can easily have more states than what is possible to test. Moreover most also run software so it's the same as claiming testing is a 100% sure fire way to create bug free software.

Let alone a innocuous back-door. While testing increases the bar for anything malicious to slip by it does not eliminate it entirely. Really it comes down to trust. This applies to all hardware though and I would say everyone is unsophisticated enough to just rely on tests.

Like VHDL was created so the Department of Defense could have something to check ASIC behavior against. I am not saying testing is useless. For instance a malicious actor better be certain that their backdoor can't be found, but they can't be a 100% certain that testing won't find it. It cuts both ways. Testing may not find things, but any adversary may not be sure that their back-door may not be found via testing.
The answer is no secret but it's hard to achieve. The fastest way to learn a new language fluently is to speak it, constantly.

Yes, it's easier for children to acquire a new language but they learn it because they are constantly forced to use it.

I've known a number of people that have lived in a foreign country yet they did not learn the language. Why? Because they could get away with using English most of the time. They were never forced to speak it. They could get away with only speaking it a little. And if they got in trouble they could always ask someone for help.

The stress caused by having to come up with the proper word combination helps immensely. We tend to remember what caused us stress. Also, repetition will always help in acquiring new words.

So, basically, start a learning program but make sure you practice every day by speaking with someone that's fluent in your new language ASAP and let them correct you as needed. Also, NEVER speak your native language with that person. Only use the language you want to learn with him or her.

Do not start book studying, grammar and such, until you have a good grasp of the language. Reading a new language will reinforce accents since we tend to read with our language in mind.

The more you have to think in the language you are trying to learn the faster you will reach fluency.
What is Sundar’s vision? I’m not quite sure and I think I’m pretty aware of google’s goings on through media and such.
I came to the same conclusion 2 weeks ago. Nowadays, I have to solve the captcha 15-20 times before it lets me in. So I have started purposefully making wrong answers-road instead of car, sky instead of cross walks etc. If self driving cars end up crashing, I may have contributed to it.

Similar thing happened with YouTube too. They would always show me the same ad over and over. Even if I skip, I would get that ad multiple times in the same video. It was a political ad and it starts with one guy saying how he can't get treatment because of some medicare changes. I got so annoyed I wanted to punch the guy talking in the ad whenever I hear him.
Hacker Behind “Collection 1” Password Dump Identified
This ridiculously idiotic notion of "security" needs to stop. Especially when "fixing" things that already require full admin access anyway. True remote exploits are (fortunately) very rare, and even then there should never be a need to reboot --- patching files in memory was perfected years ago.

Give the users freedom to choose when to reboot, and even to choose whether they want to. Some users will continue to manage to get infected with malware despite constantly being disrupted by the constant reboots, others never installed a single security patch and yet would never be infected due to what they do (or what they don't, to be more accurate.) But that's their choice and theirs alone.

Unfortunately it seems companies are far more authoritarian and would rather breed a docile obedient type of users in which to force their ideas on and control.

I will resist the urge to post that old Benjamin Franklin quote again.
That doesn't make sense. There isn't a dedicated light for the logo in any of Apple's laptops -- what you see is the LCD backlight shining through a cutout in the case. This has been the case ever since they started doing that with the Powerbook G3 (iirc).
I think that's a very cynical view to take. Have you had experiences with good and bad managers? In my professional life I've had both, and I can tell you that the difference is night and day. I'm in a "bad management" spell right now (yay, academia) and I would love to have regular 1:1s and get feedback that I could actually act on.

That happens a lot with me. I'll be reading a multi-page article at a site, get to the bottom of the page, click the button or link to go to the next page, and only then, since I'm not busy reading the page content anymore, notice the ad.

Just as I'm realizing that it is something I'm quite interested in and want to click it for more information, the next page loads and I've lost the ad.

It's quite annoying.

Does anyone have way to a prove software is bug free? Familiar with the halting problem? I think that is the crux of the argument here. Testing does not solve the problem.

Like the possible states that hardware and software have can be enormous that only the simplest of devices can be exhaustively tested.
I just actually looked at what you cited and you're mischaracterizing it.

The video was found on the page NativeYouthAlliance, not Nathan Phillips's personal page. It's also something like a year old, and a quick skim shows that this page posts a lot of videos. I for one do not expect Snopes to watch every single video posted to the facebook page of a youth alliance on the off chance that Phillips will say something relevant in it.

I don't know what the page said originally, but it looks like this facebook video didn't even give them cause to update their "Unproven" rating or the "What's True" and "What's False" sections of this rating.

In fact, if anything it demonstrates that Snopes reacts to new information coming to light exactly as you'd expect them to: they update their article accordingly and in a timely fashion.
So what you're saying is snopes owned up to mistake and removed the article? Sounds ethical to me.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I'd love to hear your side of it.
As I mentioned in my sister comment, because we have evidence that allowing companies to do this would've resulted in the tobacco lobby being able to overturn public health laws in Australia (because they tried to do it within an arbitration courts that they didn't have jurisdiction in). If the TPP was signed in 2011, Australia would've had to pay damages to Phillip Morris for passing plain packaging laws (something that is now becoming a more common law in many jurisdictions).

The problem with the EFTA (or ECJ) comparison is that those courts are designed to deal with the laws and directives passed by the EU/EEA. The entire point of the EU/EEA is that members democratically vote on laws that will affect members -- thus a violation of said laws by a government is similar (in principle) to any other violation by a government where an individual can sue the government for violating a law.

The TPP arbitration process is not like this at all. There is no democratic agreement on common laws that member states must not violate -- it's a process to allow a corporation to sue a government for enacting "discriminatory" laws (unless those laws are "fair and proportionate" -- which obviously is a very wishy-washy constraint).

Put differently,corporations exist to put prices on things. Corporations are clearly minting products from peoples DNA samples. They probably can’t deny sales to governments.
So it lets people earn for a living from the platform, and the product is also build on a community, very different from the big corp competitor
It's 100% true that all the benefits of self-driving cars will be for naught if there's no congestion pricing implemented for driving alone. This will be either in the form of a toll or tax, or by making all but one of the freeway lanes shared-ride only.

Once you've implemented congestion pricing, riding with others is what 99% of people will be doing and the stigma is gone. If you don't want to ride in a car with graffiti etc. there'll be an option to order a better quality of ride.
As a former driver I have to say lyfts logic is accurate. Also, why should a company with less dispatches be subjected to different rules from those that don't?? That's extremely anti-driver.
I think you've mistaken Snopes, a fact checker, for a news website although they have a small section for news. The reason they don't have a fact check entry on this item might just be because liberals aren't widely spinning conspiracy theories that this Antifa person is framed/innocent.
