Looks pretty bad, hence not letting the journalists hold it. I think they traded thinness for display surface uniformity. The Galaxy Fold is thicker, but uses the additional size to incorporate a stronger folding mechanism, which appears to put less strain on the screen itself.

Hopefully they figure this out before launch. It definitely doesn't look worthy of the $2600 sticker price in its current form.

"Our particular service is not materially affected as we already respond to warrants under the Telecommunications Act."

I'm reading that as "we don't encrypt customer emails, so we already had to share them." That's consistent with what they've said in the past.
> The only system I've seen where the cost of a chargeback is on the bank instead of the merchant is if the merchant has setup 3D-Secure/Verified by Visa...

Verified By Visa is a nightmare, and was killing conversion rates by up to 60%. [1] I'm not sure if it's still the case, but when it first came out Amazon refused to integrate it.

The way you get this to end is by annoying the common people of Australia. The Internet death penalty would be one way—have FAANG completely stop doing business in Australia until this is repealed, and block Australians from their services. No Facebook, no new copies of Windows, no new Macs, nothing that runs on AWS. It’s a small enough country that it wouldn’t really be a dent in their bottom lines. Congratulations, you just got most of a country to angrily write their parliament-critters.
What makes you so sure it was “rogue” staff that put the imagery in?
I can't help but feel as though they ignored the huge range of existing examples of electric bicycles and instead assumed they were entering a greenfields market.

They are positioned very poorly. It's an unattractive folding bike that doesn't fold and costs too much. People who buy that style of bike do it because it folds, which is also the reason why it compromises on tire size and aesthetics. Anyone wanting an e-bike in that price range has a lot of much more interesting and practical bikes to choose from.
It's is why you buy western. It's also why the US wants to limit Huawei hardware in telecom infrastructure.
Looks like PRC leadership just played perfectly into the hands of these ROC devs.

Not only did they get free publicity, but they've gotten the communist party to publicly (and internationally) telegraph not just how petty they are, but also how much the communist government fears a threat to their power from within mainland China.
Which has its own problems unfortunately, given that it's basically everywhere now (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896971...) and it damages DNA (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22331240/). So basically everything's terrible and we're all going to die...

Regarding "all-female units" in Israel, I'll point out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caracal_Battalion :

> The 33rd "Caracal" Battalion (Hebrew: גדוד קרקל‎) is an infantry combat battalion of the Israel Defense Forces, one of the three fully combat units (alongside the 'Lions of Jordan Battalion' and the 'Cheetah Battalion') in the Israeli military that is composed of both male and female soldiers. ... While Caracal is a mixed gender battalion, it has been 70% female since 2009. It is part of the 512th Sagi Brigade of the Southern Command.
I think point is, that with backdoor you don't need the warrant. Which opens the possibility of the abuse.
That's not it, but it'd be pretty effective to paint the other side as ridiculous with an incomplete picture. Check who wrote this piece.

My best guess is Winnie the Pooh was a hint that prompted people to look for more political innuendos, which they found plenty, mostly consisting of ethnic slurs at the mainlanders that mapped exactly to IRL Taiwanese slurs against the Chinese. This game was praised with a passion in China for its quality but people felt betrayed when they found out they are being played.
The fundamental wrong assumption at the heart of your approach here is: The idea that people "should" be paid according to some measure of their moral worth or moral deservingness.

But when people meet to voluntarily make economic exchanges, they don't look at each others' moral deservingness; they look at where they can benefit economically.
>It's not clear why you'd think 818,000 (per WSJ) identical comments submitted in alphabetical order should pass automated tests?

There's no reason to think they were submitted originally in alphabetical order. The most likely possibility here is that CQ sorted them before submitting to the FCC.

Australia is significantly behind the US in terms of tech, and Australian lawmakers are also significantly behind. Ignorant, and draconian. Not a good mix. With no Bill of Rights to protect people.

It's borderline funny how inept the Australian government is with tech. NBN cost a fortune, and still sucks. My Health Record debacle. New anti-encryption laws, and leaders who think they can change the laws of math. ScoMo forgetting to set his domain on auto-renew... It's been a mess.

Add to this how messed up the visa situation is in Australia, and the crazy high taxes they put on immigrants, and they wonder why their economy can't keep up and homes have dropped 20% in the last 2 years...

They coasted on energy / natural resources for so long, but didn't invest any of the money correctly into tech training / startup scenes. Now that China took their foot off the gas, Australia will be in for a world of hurt.
That's an interesting notion. Not to follow this tangent to far, but I think that most likely it is a more representative democracy. If you were to ask the people in the US if they want a bill that would allow law enforcement to "read the private messages of terrorist", I'd guess that most people would say yes, not knowing or understanding the ramifications of what the law would mean, or what a clear definition of what terrorist are.

But to the point, I do agree that mandatory voting may be actively harmful as it values all degree of civic engagement the same. That being said here in the states we have actively installed barriers to make voting more difficult. We aren't really getting better leadership or better laws from it.
I can't tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me?

This right here is what Linux Desktop doesn't seem to understand. The whole culture is ingrained with the attitude that they do, in fact, know what you need better than you.

You may not realize:

AWS has a data center region in Sydney, AUS
How many services actually have millions of concurrent users? That’s 100k req sec or so, which is a crapton.
Foreign key constraints seems like an easy example. Not every service needs the power to create and manage user accounts but its nice know that every user id in your datamodel is valid.
As an aside, the website mentioned in the article, "Spiel Times", seems to be an Indian and not a German one. No idea how that came to be, considering their website and Twitter account show it rather clearly.
One does not exclude another. Quite the opposite. E.g. in the USSR conscripts formed "gangs" based on ethnicity to fight with other ethnicities (not unlike prison gangs in the US) and hated government mostly because they perceived their own ethnicity being oppressed in favor of others (and not just in the service).
The extra bandwidth would still be pretty small since the screen is mostly static. Unlike streaming a video game which is far more intensive as all 60 frames could be different within that second.
I believe the company put out a statement to that effect - they're casting blame on a single employee.

Could just be damage control while they snigger behind their hands for all I know.
80% is thinking and figuring things out, 20% is writing code; always.
Those timestamps are the time the FCC received them. If you read through the email chain you'll see they had many comments ready (the email says he was expecting to send over 250k comments/day) prior to submitting any or getting the API access set up.

This wasn't real-time submission, and this should be clear from OP.
> Nvidia's so dominant

And rightly so, like you said. That's why I can't take the other user's advice and just shell out money to AMD.

And while I do love Manjaro, I still have this problem. In fact I get no detection of my HDMI port. When I had Ubuntu I could (sometimes) get it to display if I restarted the computer with the HDMI plugged in.

I'm also not sure why the linux devs don't take this (or at least not that I've seen) as seriously. Linux is in such a good state now that it is easier to convert people. But this problem prevents A LOT of people from switching, and rightly so.

As for the NVIDIA sucks and doesn't play nice. There needs to be a better argument than that. Like why? There's so many people developing on linux with their cards. They are dominant. Most gpu programmers use cuda and a significant amount of ML researchers are using linux boxes. It doesn't make sense (to me) to just say f you to all those developers. Nvidia doesn't have a motive to push people to Windows.

Saving up $100k/year towards ownership is just treading water; prices will easily rise that much on their own. This leaves another ~$70k/year to play with in your $300k salary. The marginal cost of living alone vs. with roommates is not insignificant in that context. So yes, if you are making $300k/year and serious about buying, it would be hard to justify renting an entire apartment.

Absolutely agree that you can afford to live alone if you do not particularly care about buying.
Haven't done it in months since I've been busy, but here's an example of analyzing IMDb data the correct way with R and ggplot2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4_zSfoTM80

That video is also an example of unexpected issues that can only happen when livecoding.

I rolled that out into a full blog post (https://minimaxir.com/2018/07/imdb-data-analysis/), which admittingly was faster to code while not being on camera.
I've never understood the idea of using a 60% tenkeyless when your job requires you to type a lot. Even if you go full-size it dosen't take that much more space and you save you fingers the extra work for number and function keys.
The only reason your awareness seems to be inside of your head is because your head and face is your primary interface with the world, where the core of your senses reside and is, therefore, your default state.

You can test this hypothesis by practicing a meditation technique called "body scanning" where you allow your awareness to focus into various parts of the body, leaving your head and indeed entering your hand for example.

As an aside, I wonder if Helen Keller's default location of awareness was in her hands because they were her interface with the world? It seems unlikely to me that it would be in her head/face but I really have no idea.
Is it safe to assume you would have opposed the US entering the war in Europe in World War 2, because there was a genocide happening but the US couldn't do anything but cause a bigger one?
Yes, that was definitely also part of the calculation. We expected clients would not use it, because every extra step destroys conversation rates, but we wanted to at least provide the option.

... But even providing the option was a non-starter, because of how many different banks had completely broken systems. We ended up ditching the feature entirely.

I used to use Mullvad but switched to AirVPN. Mullvad was extremely slow in the US (under 25mbps most times) where I have found AirVPN to be able to reach ~750mbps. They also publish the congestion on their servers which is very handy for reaching high speeds.
I'm all for replacing my meat with "clean meat", but why not some sort of technologically advanced food that tastes like something new and is good for you? Surely top scientists can come up with something like that without trying to emulate existing food!

Exposure to difficult, foreign ideas builds up the coping skills to handle dealing with those ideas.

People who have been kept in an ideological bubble for their whole lives have conditioned-in panic/rage responses to ideas that go against the assumptions they've been taught to see as universal moral foundations.

This isn't a bug; these responses are conditioned into people on purpose by the memeplex in order to make it less likely the believer will become infected with competing memes.

You see this clearly in Chinese student facing Taiwan discussions, or American students from any leftist area facing nearly any conservative points of view on any issue. They are conditioned to go into emotional panic mode to prevent the new thoughts from sinking in.
>Unfortunately, Nvidia's so dominant (and rightly-so from a price-per-performance unit standpoint).

I'm not sure about the price-per-performance. I just bought a new system with a Vega 64, and if you take into consideration I could use FreeSync instead of paying an extra $200 for GSync in a monitor, it works out better.
What language was this?
Now we can definitely know that Taiwan != China.
At least, Taiwanese can buy and play the game legally.
That's what the article said, unless the developer made it up for damage control. I'm not defending the abhorrent overreacting that led to the company self-censoring. It's just, if the game makers scripted this and designed it intentionally it would be great and a whole different story. Otherwise it's kind of like buying a comic to find an artist hid animal rights messages in it. It doesn't mean I'm against animal rights, but it just feels unintentional, kind of like a bug.
Avon Introduces New Anti Aging Serum – Yeah It's Good
Might be better to spend the money on education. Since all this debt was over 7 years old, no one would have had any legal obligation to pay on the debt nor would it show up in their credit reports.

Anyone who buys debt at that point is just hoping to be able to convince/trick the indebted to paying anyway.
That’s a plausible explanation for a necessary condition for subjective experience, but it’s diffult for me to accept it as sufficient. The mechanism - like integrated information theory - could account for the easy problem of consciousness but not the hard problem of consciousness.
A scientific theory of consciousness would make new predictions that can be tested. For example, if we take self-encoding to be actually representative of subjective experience, can we find a novel encoding that when triggered in a subject makes them report a sensation that they’ve never experienced before? That’s how new scientific theories that propose new entities like quantum ‘spin’ are tested. New fundamental entities must have new testable predictions otherwise they’re just-so stories.

That said, the easy problem is a path towards the hard one.
And it's okay to draft my son and brothers?

Whenever I was asked to do something hard, I answered that I needed to work from home in order to avoid distractions and focus on the problem.

For I couple of years I did all the actual coding from home, and then I spent a few weeks in the office, relaxing, being social and drinking free coffee :)
I feel there is a gap between left goals and left means. It’s particularly distressing to me because I always viewed “our team” as the side that was cooler headed, would wrestle with uncomfortable ideas, and would keep trying to find the merit in people that we disagree with.

But I find myself feeling that a portion of the left has retained the banner issues of the left, while adopting a shockingly tribal worldview and conservative tactics of the right.

It feels like when I was younger, and you'd say something critical about some aspect of the US, and the retort was, “if you hate our country so much, why don’t you just leave.” Critique was rounded to anti-American sentiment and you thus became a valid target of unlimited scorn.

I see the same thing on the left, where if you don’t agree to a reductive expression of certain wedge issues, people are rounded to nazi, misogynist, X-phobic, etc. and then are irredeemably subject to unlimited scorn.

I expect this kind of stuff from the right, but it’s painful to see it from the left.
In reality China is the one bulying Taiwan through the one China policy, open threats, reminders to reunification (through force), military bases on shoals in the South China Sea etc.

Oh yeah. Be careful with what you wish for. One day us humans might not be just dominant, we will be alone. And in that sense, I don't want us to prevail against Mother Nature; I just want a healthy balance.
Maybe I misunderstand the concept, but when we are newly born we are somewhat not conscious in the usual sense of self. In that theory does it mean we, or our atoms are already conscious but we dont have the awareness yet? Because our brain is first producing a trick of the perception of self once it is fully developed?

In the spiritual world many advanced people have had these experiences of oneness with the world once they learn to fully strip the mind from all conditioning and cocneption of self. So it seems to me like the concept of embodied swlf and consciousnes are two things that can be seperated. Does that make any sense?

Also - it's not so much about " … don't care enough about it ensure that you're really protected … ", but more like "One of my concerns is getting drive-by exploited because my data appeared in a huge dump of randomly breached metadata, rather than anybody targeting me specifically", and it's worth a few bucks a month to stop worrying so much about that. Being "really protected" is not possible (when the ultimate end-of-level boss fight is with the NSA), and getting even _close_ to that becomes exponentially expensive. 60EUR a year for Freedome on my phones/tablet/laptops and not having to do any ongoing maintenance or upgrading or weekend sysadmin work - is a good value deal for me. I don't think there's a significant improvement I can make to my protection in this area for less than an order of magnitude more money and two orders of magnitude more fucking around. I don't think I'm prepared to expend either of those for some incremental improvement in my privacy... If I were an illegal international arms dealer or a trafficker of cocaine by the tonne, I'd without doubt spend more money and effort there ;-)

It's portable (although it's not a feature I care that much about), but programmatic layers are a huge plus for me. I use Vim and now I don't need to move a hand off my home row to use arrows and I love this. So, it's not really about space. It's also aesthetically more pleasing which is subjective. I'm a bit of a minimalist. I refuse to use multiple monitors such that I don't get used to having the additional screen-space, because I do have a tendency to work at coffeeshops and my workflow remains the same in the office and outside of it.

It's not the PRC government, if I read it right, the take down was a result of a backlash from the gamers. There's a huge amount of "glass heart" nationalism going on online. Any slight criticism of China or Taiwan from either country invites a strong nationalist backlash against the other.

It seems these days I can't watch a Chinese video without some political fight breaking out in the comments over small perceived slights. I guess if during the height of the Cold War, the Russians made a game that made fun of the US, there may have been a similar response, but it's hard to imagine these days if a game company put an Orange Donkey Kong and called it Trump that anyone but a few Trump fans would get upset.
