I don't think it's about weaponization, so much as just regular privacy.

Waybackmachine for corporate sites, NGOs, public information - I get.

But G+ is essentially a social network. I don't think people really would chose to have that information arbitrarily saved.

I don't want to have to tell some stranger on the other side of the planet to 'stop saving stuff about me'.

I think the parent comment is apt, and I don't think we need to be saving the information on social networks unless there's something specifically (not casually) public about it.
Just yesterday. I asked the popup for Airmailapp if they supported Exchange SSO via Okta, and got a "no, sorry" inside of 20 seconds.

This is unusual enough for those things that I was flabbergasted and told everyone I knew about how one of those things was actually helpful for once though.

If they can easily afford to pay you that much, it might make you curious how much money you can make by creating a product yourself.

For people saying your maximum earnings are capped as a contractor, that's because you're charging for your time instead of your expertise. Consider fixed price and valued based pricing.

I've never done an interlibrary loan. Obviously, some did, but still.

Cable and video rentals weren't available till I was in college.

You're right that some of these things became available in limited quantities, or were available with a lot of effort, but overall the gist of what OP said captures the idea. Things are very different from when I grew up in the 70s/early 80s.
The Cult of Dead Cow thing made me a little hopeful, then I read the comments where someone referenced O'Rourke taking almost half a million from the oil & gas lobby, despite signing a pledge not to accept money from fossil fuel interests.

Counterarguments are then that out of almost 70 million raised (which seems like an astronomical amount) half a million is not a big deal and they were from individuals (gas executives) and not PAC's so there may be plausible deniability to some degree.

Still 99+% chance better than Ted Cruz I guess.

But Lisp's object system is kind of famous. Where are the people beating the averages in pure fp languages? There should be a lot of really amazing software if fp is as good as it's made out to be and employed exclusively by elite non-blub programmers. There really isn't though, except maybe in finance where F# is doing quite well. And that's great but even F# is multi paradigm.
You are making up a debate that nobody else is having, and then putting me on the opposite side of it as yourself. We're thus talking past each other.

For what it's worth, and not apropos whatever that debate is, I'm very comfortable with how I'm characterizing cDc and what cDc members would in general think about what I'm saying, albeit that the Boston ones would claim that I am not giving them enough credit for also going to weird Boston nerd culture places like the MIT hackers did.

The palemoon author threatened to sue OpenBSD 3 hours after a trademark violation request was submitted. https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86
I'm also curious about their reasoning, since they have an OS X release in development. What is it about BSD that doesn't adhere to normal free software development practices, but OS X does?
I'm well aware that. I'm saying that in a sense that they don't buy or use much of the original "ocp platform" they show off at their events.

And much of it was said to have ended after limited deployment in their Prineville DC, after which they switched back to regular OEM quanta gear with just few things like blue-green handlebars added, and "barebone" motherboard trays.

I've been whispered that the biggest buyers of the original "ocp platform" gear is not even facebook these days, but some banks

Not sure - never to my knowledge. I'm still allowed to be worried. This issue is also not really apple specific - Android has health monitoring features, and I trust OEMs a lot less.

That letter’s wonderful. It was the first time I’d read it and I’m really glad I did. It’s funny, slightly sad, and really well-written.
Does it really grind peoples gears? As in, new people who weren't upset with amazon echos, google homes, apple homepods, etc? Or is it just the same people that were up in arms about 'spy devices' being welcomed into peoples homes that are also up in arms about Nests having a microphone in them?
A proper study would probably compare the amount of hours of data.
Maybe, but that actually provides at least a little lasting value.

The ultimate example of toil, which I'm sure Google has automated away at this point, is truncating old log files that would eventually take up all remaining disk space. Simply truncating the file does not solve the inherent problem, but buys you more time before you'll face the exact same situation again.
Pale moon forums is full of conspiracy theories on how Mozilla has been taken over by "SJWS." That, along with the horrible temper of the author, really discourages me from using or trusting it.

About 6 years ago I set-up my HP Touchpad running linux and tried to use it as a development machine.

It was running ArcLinux, node 0.4 (if I remember correctly).

I'm not going to suggest that this was the "future of computing" and I put it away after playing with it for a bit.

I'm not an Apple user and don't have an iPad (pro or other) but I do think we will move away from "pc" needed as your development platform.

At one point we would have said that a notebook wasn't good enough for development, you need a "real pc" (desktop) for development.

With AR/VR we'll move into completely new realms of interfaces for development, I wouldn't rule out a tablet as one of the form factors of the future.
Oh no! An about:config option has to be toggled from 2 to 3! Getting Pale Moon set up to be user friendly is much easier than all the crap you have to do with Firefox.

I can see a future where my doctor gives me a wristband to wear for a month then return as a part of each annual checkup.

Though maybe it gets even better than that and we just all start wearing watches again.

I want that feature but I'm not a watch wearer.
If you're talking about mushroom spores, then maybe. If you're talking about heroin or meth, then almost certainly not - considering even meth precursors(ephedrine) are regulated.
I'm exactly the same way. If I can get a few things checked off my todo list early, I'm nearly guaranteed to at least feel like I had a good day.

Clearly, that should be undefined. You cannot sum two strings. Unless you are really deranged and you want it to be "C".
So how do I declare a function pointer for a function that takes two arguments and returns a value, all of which are function pointers of that same type?
But do apps from the play store have the system permissions to carry out those operations on other apps?

I don't think they do.
What about NPR? BBC? Those are free and fairly unbiased.
Nit pick, things work differently for multi-way and one-way containers:

- There are no special regulations for multi-way bottles (glass and plastic alike). Most stores will accept only those they are incentivized to, i.e. the brands they sell (manufacturers are eager to get them back to be able to reuse them).

- As soon as a store sells a kind of one-way container (plastic bottles, aluminum cans), they have to accept, pay out the mandatory €0.25 deposit for, and properly dispose of each and every one-way container of that kind customers bring in (in household quantities). There is a clearing mechanism, since store's sales might not match their returns.
I don't have any debt, and I don't really have to work anymore. Short of a nuclear holocaust, I'll be fine.
I am very far from even understanding quantum physics theories but for all this experiment to be valid to begin with,the idea that superpositions exist must be true, correct?

What if what they're proving is really the abscence of a superposition state? I never understood how superposition can be verified independent of assumptions. In this case,how can Wigner measure the photon has veritcal and horizontal polarity at the same time?

Lastly,could superposition be explained by human's limit of sampling reality? For example audio recorded at 10Hz means 10/samples of audio a second,a sort of audio-resolution. If our reality-resolution is low,some things might require ability to measure their state at a better time-space resolution than what humans can currently sample (or build equipment that can measure this)? But with limited time-space resolution it can appear as if the object is in two states at the same time. Sort of like watching a movie at a very slow frame rate and you capture a moment where half the screen is of one frame but the rest is of a different frame since the display is only half finished rendering the raster/rows.

Apologies if I am being absolutley clueless.

Why Duke Killed the Durham-Orange Light Rail Project
> I understand the confusion it may cause to a new Python developer who comes from the mathematical background.

I'm confused mainly because a person with a mathematical background created a language with such an obvious blunder. When I have to use the language (and I do often) I am not confused about string concatenation, I am ashamed of having to use this ridiculous notation.
It is interesting to read these two: https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2019/03/durham-light-... in conjunction. Depressing, too.

"Remember, you can't put too much water in a nuclear reactor."
The poster simply indicated they'd experienced an anecdotal situation that matches closely with the scientifically observed declines.

You have to really misread the comment you replied to in order to claim it stated it was "conclusively observing statistical effects".
"...but these people haven't actually checked "the facts"."

It sounds like a hard line, but science is not like that. I don't think science leads to smugness. Science helps us make decisions, now. Ideology, on the otherhand, is quick to judgment, undermines, subverts, misleads, and is a general problem across all of society.

I knew a biologist who, believed their scientific findings, loved animals and nature, but found humans lacking. That general disdain was eveident in scarcastic jokes, and subversive attitudes towards society. They had to delete their Facebook page for all the crap they would say, which people would jump on. That's ideology, a secret belief in the way the world works.
That is most certainly not the experience I've had with nationalized health care in Europe. Sounds like an implementation problem more than anything.
The assignment of these could go either way, depending on what you prefer :)
I loved reading this!

'Before the internet' pretty much coincides with 'when I was a kid' for me. I would love to hear 'before the internet' memories from people who were adults before the internet too.
My home-grown accounting system, written in a language with great support for functional programming, is based on objects.
accounts, transactions, transaction deltas, ledgers, are all objects. Starting from a blank slate, a file is loaded which defines the ledger entries. These definitions are processed one by one, using mutable updates to the object framework. What is left is then the state of the ledger with all those entries and that can be subject to various queries and reports.
The Complaints Pilots Filed About Boeing's 737 Max
Curious about the minimize state in-flight. If the producer has state on-hand, why not include it and just have a policy around when you trust it. If it’s equal cost for producer or consumer to collect state then maybe, but how often is that the case?
I don’t think it is.
I can't tell if this is a rhetorical question or not, but you can't have recursive typedefs in C.

News is basically a loss leader for Fox. Their actual business purpose is something else entirely.

Eventually, Bezos, Slim, and the Sulzbergers will have to decide what business they're in, just as Murdoch already has. Paywalls are not going to play a role in that business, and I frankly don't understand why they're bothering with them now.

"What was profitable for 1990s China would not have been profitable for the US." And may not be "profitable" for China. Indeed, one might argue China got a leg up in development by trading environmental destruction for capital - but now they have the capital and the destruction is haunting them.

And that's the thing. Recycling everything might be affordable but when skimming the best and tossing the rest is more profitable, operations like that will squeeze out operations that pay some of the high cost of proper disposal. "Externalities are externalities"

Essentially, I think you can make an argument that private enterprise can not do recycling properly since collecting money for taking the junk and then disposing of the junk as cheaply as possible is going to be a better business model. And hiring an agency to watch the private contractors is going to cost less than having a state agency do it themselves. See the company that was paid to recycle all the CRTs from the early 2000s and wound-up just storing them.

Just as much, as recycling exploded, regulations wound-up pandering to upper-middle-class consumers and allow plastic to be marked as recyclable, using unsorted recycling and similar things that kept consumers lazy and ignorant. Of course, this contributed to no real recycling being possible even as a few years it seemed universal.
Same with us - we use it as a direct line of communication with our users, either incoming or existing. Intercom is a very valuable aspect of our support
People are absolutely genetically different, and I see recurring types of people everywhere I go (not necessarily tied to race). Pretending like we're all the same doesn't really help anyone and probably just turns away people who don't enjoy being lied to and shushed for something as innocent as believing there are "types" of people. That is miles away from believing some of those types are worthless and deserve to die in terrible Holocaust-style mass killings.

Having done addition in both infix and prefix varieties on my computer, over the past few decades, I don't understand why prefix notation is considered 'optimized' for indefinite (not 'infinite') sequences and infix notation is considered optimized for definite length sequences.

What exactly "doesn't make a whole lot of sense" about (+ a b)? (It doesn't look the same as you wrote it in school? Neither does "3+4j", or "math.sqrt".)

Being able to use the same tool for different types of data is precisely what makes high-level programming so powerful. As Alan Perlis said, "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." Having only one way to add numbers (in languages that do that) is a great feature.

Python's insistence on these pre-selected groupings of functionality has always made it frustrating for me to work with. The two ways to add numbers look and work nothing alike. Does "TOOWTDI" not apply to math?

(Yes, I'm also frustrated and confused that Python has built-in complex numbers, and a standard 'math' module with trigonometric functions, but math.cos(3+4j) is a TypeError. What possible benefit is there of having a full set of complex-compatible functionality, but hiding it in a different math module, with all the same method names?)

No way Jose! I am about to update my iOS app, for both iPhone and iPad. I need to add some sounds. That means find an online library, get/buy the sounds, then use Audacity to tweak them. Then watch some Udemy video-classes I bought, then take screenshots/notes and star updating my SWIFT code. The only thing I am doing on my Mac is to type the code on Xcode and run the simulator (and then ofc pack, sign, and upload to Apple).

Everything else (downloading, tweaking sounds, watching classes, reading on Apple's Feb resources, etc. I do on my Windows laptop. I do have an iPad, but it is as good as a video player/kindle. Perhaps I am just lazy and don't bother to learn how-to-ipad-everytbibg, but a PC will always (imho) be more useful than most other alternative options out there.
