That's a pretty good way of doing it, decouple what you have to but no more than that.
Not always. See the MD88.
Because "simple" and "complex" both have two completely different meanings in software engineering. Something can be simple and/or it can be simple to use. Usually they're inversely correlated. You're both working on different definitions of simple.
So, 15%? Doesn't seem to matter. The last 3 or 4 android versions really haven't changed much, except useless design updates that confuse users.
Yep, the actual bandwidth consumption is mindblowing :)
Let's assume you purposefully crafted the email or app to break the code autofill built into iOS.

I think you'd end up confusing users. Most people will go to their email expecting to see a verification code in big bold type. If you make the code less obvious, they'll get frustrated ("I came here to get a code, why am I now doing something else?") It's awful UX at a particularly business-critical moment.

And this is all assuming Apple doesn't see through your ploy and just reject the app.
why exactly does that matter? I see a lot people bring things up like this and I always wonder if some feature is perfectly correlated with race, like e.g. car make/model/year, or clothing, or music being listened to during time of stop, what difference does it make? best case the cops are discriminating for the covariates (not something we'd be comfortable with either) and worst case they're using the covariates to discriminate for the confounder. suffice it to say there's no outcome to "controlling" that we would be satisfied with.
Would you be interested in open hardware doing exactly what you asked for ?
Huh?

No. For one, it wasn't described as an anonymous threat. Tesla reported to the police that they'd received a threat from Tripp. The police said "can we speak to the person who received it?", and Tesla said "Uh, no".

But then expected the police to hold press conference to talk about how Tripp is a violent, dangerous menace.
You could keep an older version of sublime around just for git commits.
As far as I know, some do but most don't.
not always. they actually removed a dock already because it was too faulty.
it was the tb15. my colleague needed a motherboard upgrade and they replaced the tb15 with the new tb16 because it just couldn't handle what it should have.
2x 4k monitors, ethernet, usb and power over a single thunderbold cable. btw. the tb16 is mostly fine
It is possible to act morally without God as motivation. God was a strong motivator in the Dark Ages- did people act more morally then?

It is possible to be a capitalist and act morally. Rates of crime are at some of the lowest levels of all human history now.... is that a sign of immorality?

Morality is about making responsible choices.... often tough ones. Abdicating responsibility to a deity or a monetary system is the opposite of what is needed for morally responsible decision making.
A key question is whether the plane's advanced flight management system -- the autopilot -- might have played a role in the most recent crash as it did in the fatal crash of an Indonesian Airlines 737 MAX 8 last October. In that crash, it appears the pilots failed to disengage the autopilot when the plane's nose began pitching up and down,
> Shouldn't people be able to choose what currency they want to pay for something in?

Thats a very libertarian position statement and I understand it. But the EU is much less capitalist/libertarian than you are. Their parliament made the call that they don't want people paying for services with their personal data.

There's valid arguments on both sides here. Some arguments supporting the EU's stance:

- If online newspapers get paid in proportion to views, they make more money by writing divisive clickbait

- Privacy is a fundamental right; not a currency. Treating it as currency means only wealthy people will be free from spying, and that is borderline dystopian.

- Advertising on the internet worked just fine before everyone was tracked and monitored through every click. Don't annoy me with cookie notices. Just don't use cookies for tracking and we'll get along fine.
Minnesota residents buying up municipal debt to reduce their tax burden
I found this project on Github a few weeks ago and have been quietly following it.

It looks really cool but I didn’t get from the readme how I would best take my relational tables and make a set of matrices from them.

I’ll take another look this weekend
There was no crime committed. He investigated the call and found that Tesla was lying. They refused to cooperate on it, so its done.

If you lie to the cops, they know you are lying, and you refuse to work with them, why would they investigate a crime that didn't occur?

What do you want them to do, arrest the guy on hearsay?
This isn't about a 30% take rate on IAP (that's fine). This isn't about apple having apple music.

The problem is that Spotify is not allowed to take credit card input directly in the app. The problem is that Spotify isn't allowed to redirect users to a webpage to collect payment.
Nothing in that sounds criminal (though I'm not a lawyer) except maybe perjury if the "contradicted statements" were under oath.
Even just defining what “internal communication” means is difficult. We definitely suffer from the what-if syndrome- “what if some day we want to expose this service to a client?”

Our product is a collection of large systems used by many customers with very different requirements - and so we often fall into this configurability trap: “make everything super configurable so that we don’t have to rebuild, and let integration teams customize it”

0.1% is still almost an hour per month
And how exactly would any of that lead to criminal charges for any engineers?
Maintenance deferral is not an option (unless they're electively carrying out maintenance checks well ahead of OEM-specified intervals) and type-rated crews landing in unfamiliar territory happens on a daily basis and certainly isn't a risk factor comparable with a [possibly] flawed aircraft. If the delay's long enough to actually see parked aircraft brought into service, it'll largely be the same crews flying older 737s anyway.

Mostly people will just cancel their holidays or agree a teleconference because getting flights on that route at short notice is too difficult.
Seems like every week I hear about some horrible thing happening in the US healthcare system that makes me feel both disgusted and very lucky to not have any current health problems.
Object-Oriented FizzBuzz
> if you look how regulations worked in the past for other industries, it has always been a response to very clear quantifiable harm being caused.

It should be straightforward to show quantifiable harm to people’s right to privacy. You could survey a large number of people to ask if they would be OK with having their online habits monitored in detail by unknown companies (whose websites they didn’t even visit) for the purpose of targeting ads to them at later dates. If close to 100% of respondents say this is an invasion of their privacy, then that’s what it is. You could also do some more technical research to work out how many times per week people’s privacy is invaded in this way. You’d probably arrive at a very big number, rising every year.
Have you actually painted something yet?
Start with that and see how far you get, and then start practicing, finding the right medium, etc.

I did that - studied on how to paint a design on a shirt. At some point you gotta just buy the stuff and start and experience how it works and what to do next.

Just like everyone will show you the "best way to build an app" there's a lot of books that will show you the "best way to paint". And like app development, ultimately you will need to just work it out for yourself and hone your own style.

I'd set your sights on whatever you want to see painted and how then do whatever it takes to achieve it. :-)
Doesn't a grand jury meet after charges have been filed? Or is federal different than state in that respect?
wow, seen the games. never played myself. disappointing it's just the computer playing against you and not a trained chicken making decisions. the chicken just pecks the screen.
I played DF many years ago when the modding scene was a lot younger and found it’s complexity to be too intimidating. I eventually quit playing after a few weeks because of it.

I’ve been playing the hell out of RimWorld over the past few weeks. It really is a great entry to the kind of game DF is. The creator did a really good job of designing mechanisms to hold your hand in the beginning. The warnings on the right hand side of the screen were a godsend for me picking up RimWorld to make sure that my housekeeping was in enough shape to keep exploring without having an entire colony wipe for some ridiculous reason. It’s made me ready to try to tackle DF again after successfully running colonies in RimWorld.

I suspect someone can mod DF to give the same kind of gentler entry experience (if they haven’t already).
This article is so one sided that it feels like Bloomberg really has it out for Musk. There’s no proof that Musk did this, even though I’m open to the possibility.
I think that's why the term "quasi-monopoly" is often used instead.
The 737 stabilizer trim is actuated by steel cables running from the nose of the aircraft to the tail, guided by pulleys [1]. The same cables also make the wheels spin when the stab trim motors are running.

I'm on a small team working with microservices. I have different complaints than yours. The main issue I run into with microservices is I lose the benefit of my Go compiler. I don't like in dynamic languages because of all the runtime errors I run into. With microservices, even using a statically typed language becomes a nightmare of runtime errors.

If I change the type on a struct that i'm marshaling and unmarshaling between services, I can break my whole pipeline if I forget to update the type on each microservice. This feels like something that should be easy to catch with a compiler.
Black metal is way sillier than death metal. In the early days, sure, there were a group of people who took the imagery of metal seriously or at least tried to. But black metal is so theatric and cartoonish these days. It'd be like being afraid Count Chocula will inspire a generation of cannibals.
Actually in this case it was Azure related but it's pretty funny that the same thing has happened to the two biggest cloud platforms

Most programming is in American english too. And most people who use computers end up picking up a decent bit anyway, according to some friends from a spanish-speaking country.
That would probably be fine...until Apple created a rule to discourage and then eventually ban all apps that used that pattern without going through their API.
It started after Facebook started getting blamed for landing Trump in the White House, and the pile-on has increased steadily since then.

I’m no fan of FB’s extensive use of dark patterns, but the concerted attack on FB is meant as pressure so that Zuck agrees to let FB be used as a great firewall.

Thank you, Zuck, for resisting the pressure if indeed you have. It will only increase as 2020 approaches.
Maintaining, developing, and testing for accessibility costs time, time that you could otherwise be spending on product development. To pretend this isn’t the case is absurd.
it's possible to be a "moral" capitalist but not without strong laws and punishments. There are countless # of instances where corporations have gotten away with either indirectly or directly knowingly doing harm.
Facebook was experiencing issues all day today.

I thought grand jury meets before charges are filed so they can authorize access to documentation and such things?
"Metamorphic testing of driverless cars" is a very related article involving software testing and sensor problems for safety-critical autonomous vehicles. The article is available here:

No, most people don't pay that much attention, honestly. "Drive or fly? Hm... that plane did just fall out of the sky right, planes freak me out, let's just drive." This is an excerpt of a conversation I've had with friends after the MH crashes. I had to explain to them planes generally don't get shot out of the sky or just disappear and that in spite of this all, flying remains safer than driving.
In iOS you can't access any hardware identifier AFAIK.

Apps can only access an app installation UUID.
Ah, fair enough. I think Purism cases are all-metal. I have not touched one though -- going to once they release a 32GB model.
It seems like you think that contradicts what I said. The system by design adds a little trim in very specific circumstances. That's not the same as being needed because the aircraft is aerodynamically unstable. That is a term which has an actual definition.

That said there are airliners out there which are unstable in the longitudinal axis and require a yaw damper to prevent Dutch roll.

And it highlighted how aged the game was. It's a roguelike masterpiece, but there has been many more playable ones since. DF hasn't aged as badly, but standing up in Steam to more playable games will be challenging.
Do you have a recommended way of handling transaction boundaries that span multiple services. Everyone always likes to outline how happy path works and when it comes to real world it basically comes down to well now you have eventually consistent distributed system that there is no general valid way to unroll a change to multiple services if one of the calls fails.
Good luck! If you’re interviewing in MPK make sure your recruiter takes you to the barbecue shack for lunch
>"an a320 crashes every two years" sounds quite different than "a brand new 737MAX crashes during take off every 6 months because of the faulty sensor thingy".

If you cherry-pick the time interval, you can say that basically all planes crash once every hour.
I'd like to go on record advocating both groups be imprisoned.
> However, when welfare is badly managed and is essentially given out to anybody, is overpaid because "muh rights to basic standard of living," and without adequate consideration of where the capital comes from to provide the welfare service, then there cannot be a sustainable welfare. The government does nothing but drain capital away.

You cannot separate income and especially capital from the system we all collectively buy into (well enough not to rage-vote it out of existence, anyway). It's not magic'd into existence out of nowhere. It is nothing without laws, a military, treaties, some basic market-creating norms, the joint stock corporation, opportunities churned about by trust-busting (when we bother), and so on.

And no, that doesn't mean all your stuff belongs to everyone. It does mean that drawing an absolute and immutable line between what's yours and what's societies is more complicated than "it's mine, so there". There's no context to give capital meaning in anything like the sense anyone today expects, without society, without the state. The whole thing's "unnatural" and just because the system tilts one way or the other when regulation is adjusted doesn't mean any particular direction is absolutely correct or the natural state of things.
I gate keep a few spots. I've spent hundreds of hours exploring different spots, and worked out the timing of certain species to within a couple of days at a specific section of reef at a certain time of day.

Given that, I have two (slightly contradictory) thoughts: 1) Most people fishing a spot don't understand enough to make it work, so just knowing the spot is basically irrelevant 2) I have worked hard 'my' spots and simply don't feel the need to share.
Not sure how far up the thread you've read, but this thread began because a person wanted a Laptop for running Linux. Hence the discussion of whether your complaints are Windows-only.

But be prepared to stand in line for longer than it takes you to actually eat.
This is a ridiculous stance. Essentially it's the same as saying that you're scared to pay for anything online and you only trust Apple for making online payments. There are other solutions to feel secure about paying online or via an app. For instance, if the app asks you for payment, you could be first shown its rating in the store, if it's low. There could be even a separate rating judging the payment security of the app, if security is what Apple is after. You're allowing Apple to rip you off by 30% on all app transactions, it's as simple as that. (Not to mention the cost of locking yourself in their platform and hardware.)
True - but that is completely independent from the fact that the ACA was the Republican healthcare reform model (see Romneycare). The Republican Party went completely at war against President Obama regardless of whether or not he was proposing solutions they explicitly supported (in the past) or actively designed.
> destructive destabilize the country

I don't think Facebook is destabilizing the country. In fact I don't think anything bad at all is happening. Like please explain to me your negative repercussions from Facebook sharing some of their data with Amazon. How did that undermine the country? People have gotten so hysterical about this topic, it's a madness, and that is what's destabilizing the country IMHO.

Like OP is calling to put some of the most brilliant minds in Silicon Valley in jail, which is ridiculous! But if anything like this should happen, I think you gonna see FAANG & Co seriously consider rebasing outside U.S. (well maybe not G)

No, FB datacenters are geographically diverse.

They do run quarterly 'storms' where a datacenter is shut down to test failover and resiliency. I have no idea if today is one of those days, since I left last year.

Content creators get crypto for creating and promoting content that would otherwise go to social marketing platforms and ad agencies - seems like a decent idea, no?
well the GDPR does say many things about how the tracking consent can’t be the default right? so yeah it’s working if you just click through... of course if businesses are breaking the law, that’s different and enforcement will come

for reference there are at least 2 parts that make this outcome true:

“Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous ... Any element of inappropriate pressure or influence which could affect the outcome of that choice renders the consent invalid”: a default choice if “i agree” is influence

“The withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent”: if you hit “i agree” in a box that automatically pops up to give consent, there must be a withdrawal mechanism that’s as easy as that to withdraw (and then they must delete your tracking data)

I believe that most of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google profit-sharing, because they make it the default search engine.

Preliminary VarHandle support in Android start in P. The API is hidden, but it had to start ahead of the Java 9 libraries because it's a lot of work.

All code needs to be capable of being interpreted as that's the fallback when compilation invariants are violated (and also when stepping through code with the debugger).

A large number of operations combined with different vartypes and backing store types (fields, static fields, arrays, Buffers, etc) makes for a lot of work, even though this is just the slow path.

There is no compiler support yet for VarHandles, or MethodHandles, on Android, but there are bugs on these.
It's an official packaging, and possibly bundled with a UI/UX upgrade.
Edit to state the central point clearly at the top: why do you think restricting their range of possible choices "protects the poor and weak" ?

If you have a shitty job, would you be better off getting fired? No, because presumably you already had the ability to quit. (Anticipating someone jumping on me for the analogy: I'm obviously not saying having a shitty job is equivalent to being in such dire straits that someone would consider selling their kidney. I recognize the a huge difference in degree. I'm just illustrating the point.)

> Immoral because human life and dignity should not become a tradeable commodity.

This is just restating your conclusion, not providing an argument.

> A society allowing this would quickly deteriorate into a system where the rich just buy the desired behavior from the poor

That's already the system we have. I can entice people to do all sorts of things that they would rather not do, because I have money, like cook food for me, build airplanes that I can fly in, and so on.

> and we would end up with an oligarchy instead of a democracy.

We're not talking about making it legal to spend money to influence voting or politics, so I don't follow this.

> How would you design a society under these conditions?

My argument doesn't even rely on this veil of ignorance! Even if I KNEW I was going to be reincarnated as a poor beggar, why wouldn't I design society to give myself more choices, rather than fewer? It's not like anyone would be forced to sell their kidneys if they don't want to.
I think this basically kills a large chunk of the KDE Connect functionality I rely on. No more background clipboard access means no more clipboard sync, and closing off SD card access means it can no longer act as a wireless alternative to USB file transfer (which is terribly unreliable on Linux).
Cryptographically strong, secure identification coming from the ProtectedAPIs are a double edged sword. On one hand, these APIs let you build critical real world apps like ones required to remote control a medical assistance device or act as a electoral vote casting machine, but on the other hand provide very strong tracking cookie to data hungry ecosystems (Mac addresses could be spoofed but not these).

I have been thinking a Linux/Desktop fork similar to elementaryOS needs to exist for Android. ChromeheadOS was close enough, may be e.foundation would be that, may be Daniel Micay will restart his crusade again.
