Besides, no battery can last forever, they all degrade, that’s how the current tech works unfortunately. I do want Apple to offer cheaper battery replacement, right now replacing the battery of the AirPods and case equals to a brand new set of AirPods.

"One day, while he was pouring the weaker solution into a bulb, the phone rang. In the process of answering the phone, he accidentally tipped the bulb over before it had enough time to finish cleaning out the previous etching. When he returned to his work, he accidentally knocked the glass bulb off the workbench and onto the floor. To his surprise it did not shatter, as etched bulbs normally did, but bounced a few times and then rolled under the workbench"

I'm always intrigued by the cognitive dissonance in rewarding inventors for doing difficult things, then lauding them for accidentally stumbling upon something.

For anyone reading this site, the standardized testing regime in Texas is going to be a bureaucratic formality for the teachers and an afterthought for the students, where kids spend 2-4 days per year wasting time taking an easy test about stuff they already know, then dozing off for the rest of the time.

The sad reality is that Texas-style standardized tests measure basic material that students anywhere should be expected to know (take a look at the tests if you're not sure: this is not even the SAT we're dealing with). The primary purpose of them is to identify and remediate the many dysfunctional schools. If a school can't teach their kids this material and have 50% of them pass the test, they have a serious problem.
Please don’t call autistic people as “they”, we are human and please remember if you met one autistic person, you met only one autistic person. We are as different as neurotypical persons are different.
The easiest option is to stop eating meat. If we do that, the amount of land needed to produce enough food to feed the world would drastically go down. This would mean less intensive farming methods can be used, less pesticides, more land can be left untouched for a few years to recover.

But of course we rather kill all bugs and starve ourselves than do this. Because not eating it is a part of left wing communist conspiracies to turn everyone into soy boys. Or that is what conservatives will immediately start screaming.
Except that all the "mistakes" you mention, and I can think of a few others, are all against the same side of the political spectrum. If it was merely an apolitical click-baity reaction, it would be statistically impossible to end up with this level of political bias. I think it is good old fashion political propaganda, Pravda style.
Just one point to keep in mind is that Germany hadn't been through hyperinflation recently. The hyperinflation was in 1923, so it had ended almost 10 years before the Nazis came to power. That should be plenty of time to get the economy back on track.

The first years of the Nazi boom can of course be explained as recovery from the recent depression, but it seems that the boom went beyond that. And it's important to keep in mind that other countries didn't recover as quickly.

As for benefits to individuals, at the very least those programs created jobs. That is bound to have helped the living standards of many people.

Indisputably it would have been better to create jobs geared towards peaceful production. The question then is, why were democratically-oriented politicians unwilling or unable to take similar measures?

(And I don't mean that as praise of fascism. I mean it as a challenge to all those who consider themselves lower-case democrats: the job of democracy is to foster the well-being of the people. Stories like this article suggest that a lot more can be done on that front than we tend to see in contemporary democracies.)

Apple doesn't support overdraw across apps, but there are still things Apple can learn here. Many system apps still use "insecure" dialogs that can (and are!) used to train users to do unsafe things. This[1] dialog can be drawn by an app (or injected using an advertisement!), and Apple ID failures are "common enough" that this works to collect people's Apple IDs.

I read another powerful comment somewhere, to paraphrase:

You can launch a DB through EB but the docs basically state it's a bad idea (as it gets taken down when you delete your app, which you might find yourself doing if EB gets in to an unrecoverable state).

So now you have to manage EB + RDS separately, which should be automated so now you need CloudFormation to add the security groups and manage the vars for the DB connection properties in your EB.

The view of Schacht and his relationship to the Nazi movement is way to favorable. That he wasn't a member of the NSDAP was something he claimed, but which wasn't true. Given his prominent role in the early days of the Nazi government, he was quite a strong supporter of the regime. He may have helped some Jews, but he supported the Rassegesetze, and even made personal profit from the fate of the German jews, etc.

Fascinating how leading persons of the Nationalsozialismus were claimed to be only 'functionaries'...

> If your offspring have genetic defects [..], and their offspring [..]

> If you choose to abort, only your offspring is affected

By aborting, you're not merely potentially saddling your offspring with genetic defects - you're denying them the most basic right to exist in the first place! And their offspring, too. You're shutting down that whole line before it can even start.

I'm pro choice, but this line of argument makes no sense to me. Hard to see how anything could have consequences "far beyond" depriving a germline of existence itself.

> Did any of the benefit from those rosy figures help any one in any way

I guess we'd need to define what the end-game was for different regimes/governments back then. For the Nazi regime their end-game/target (or one of their main ones, in any way) was to reverse the post-WW1 Versailles humiliation against France and its allies, to gain some extra territorial space further East and to wipe out an entire populace based on its religion alone. I'd say they were quite successful in all of that up to a point, and given the limited economic resources Germany had at its disposal up to the late '20s studying how its leaders in the '30s and early '40s managed to do it can be quite interesting.

We, the people living in liberal/democratic regimes, need to be aware that the endgames/targets of different other regimes around the globe is not always aligned with our way of seeing things, i.e. they don't care all that match about the domestic consumer market the much as we do, for example (and the Nazis were pretty much in favor of physically eliminating a great part of their domestic consumer market).

Jerk and someone with asperger is not the same. Some jerks do like to pretend the reason they just can't stop insulting others is asperger, especially on discussion forums. It is not same as the one with asperger.

First, you can actually communicate with people who have asperger and tell them that this or that thing is insulting. They are able to follow the rules typically even is they don't understand them. They also won't be charming toward boss and manipulative toward peer amd then offending junior minority dude.

People with asperger take in feedback, just like neurotypical take in feedback, unlike jerks who refuse to accept being told they have done something wrong. You actually say to someone with asperger that his behavior is offending in specific way and you can expect him to follow. You can't expect him to know unspeaken or subtle rules.

People with asperger are uncomfortable to all around in similar way and you see that in interactions that are not racist sexist or whatever jokes. If someones offending behavior shows up only in such things and only towards weaker people, then it is not asperger.
Have you ever used a 250w ebike? They are incredibly powerful and they also come with gearing much lower than cars. The power on an ebike does not limit how steep you can go.

This is a really great accomplishment. Tesla says that they only breached the entertainment center but other car manufacturers have said similar things, only to have the attackers be able to flash the lights or open doors. I wonder how serious this hack really is?

As a side note, I'm impressed with how engaged Tesla is with the "hacker" community. Not only do they put their products directly in the path of people trying to break their products, they are increasing the bounty as well!
Questions of appropriateness in this scenario put aside, the fact that an internet filter which started for "please think of the children" reasons has expanded in scope is eminently predictable.
Not sure I agree with the first premise. If the technology was relatively safe and robust you could just routinely "edit" all births with a package of corrections for all known rare genetic diseases. There are several hundred well understood variants that are disease causing and correctable with editing a fertilised egg, with essentially zero available treatments later on.

Each time a discussion on the question "Is Ruby/Rails still relevant in [this year]" comes up around here, an answer to the effect of "Ruby/Rails is still the fastest way to go from zero to working prototype/product" ranks highly.

Python and Javascript have different standout attributes but it comes back to the same key point: most people building regular apps/sites/products care primarily about building something functional as fast as possible.

It would make sense that productivity would be a primary concern in the earlier stages when it's not yet known whether a product idea is viable.

But type safety might become a consideration later as the development team becomes bigger, the codebase becomes more complex, and production reliability becomes an important consideration.

It's just my anecdotal observation, but I offered a possible way to measure it. It would make for an interesting report.

I didn't want to define what a radical is, or what the new incitement of violence which includes indirect incitement would be. I wanted to focus on my point that this is about interpretation of an existing law that forbid certain speech, and not about imposing new restrictions on constitutional rights.

Personally, I think it's not right that we differentiate between "Go kill them" and "They're coming to kill us. Keep your guns close. Protect your family. They are doing horrible things. War is imminent. Something will happen soon. We're in danger. You and your family will be killed."

The second example is just as much an incitement of violence as the first. But it is not only legal, it is widely practiced.

This is "won't someone rid me of this turbulent priest?" on a massive scale.
> The founding fathers of the USA had a reason for the 1st amendment.

When the 1st amendment was written the US had approximately the same population as new Zealand does now (4M versus 5M). New Zealand is about the size and popolation of Oregon.

Our political landscape is wildly different, simply because we are so much smaller, and we don't have states.

Our politicians and our government are not "them": they are us. This is the general feeling towards the Muslim community too We all (including our politicians) see the affects of policy upon our friends and family, because most New Zealanders have direct connections to a range of backgrounds.

Sorry, I misunderstood the context of that statement and was thought you were talking about vectorized algorithms exploiting out-of-bounds reads in general, which is pretty dependent on the processor as to when it will work (depending on how page boundaries and cache lines are set up). And I didn't really mean my statement about using C in the prescriptive way you seem to have taken it: I was merely trying to say that you should probably be using assembly in this case, because you are relying on details of your processor that your compiler is likely to be unaware about and may penalize you for. For example, the vectorized string routines in libSystem do overshoot the end of the string because they use pcmpeqb, and it is written in assembly because it relies on alignment guarantees that are difficult to express in C. Plus it guarantees vectorization ;)

Assuming nation states don't hoard what could be considered to be a long term strategic advantage.

My fear would be that the West, in paroxysms of misguided equal-outcomes ideology, ban genetic improvements - whereas China mandates it, and bans its availability to outsiders, setting themselves up for a long-term fundamental advantage which we might never be able to overcome.

In a sense, it doesn't matter what the West "decides". If China et al have this technology - and they do - and if they decide to exploit it - and they will - we have no real choice but to follow, or face our inevitable and profound outcompetition in the medium to long term.

Pretty much this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

Also, govt (democratic ones, esp) are notorious for being short-sighted and taking populist measures, so no surprises here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

Imo, what the govt should considering doing (if they haven't already):

1. Weed out rouge elements (sadly, extensive surveillance is one way to achieve this, another would be with help of citizen-journalists/investigators) within the state, and secure immigration points

2. A focused task force to address internal threats and give them a degree of autonomy.

3. A memorial to immortalize the victims.

4. Govt mandated security at places of congregation of all sizes (malls, stations, places of worship, parks).

I disagree. I’d rather it was banned and this shit gets squashed. Yeah it’s still available and people can try seek it out, but they have to seek it out. No one on Facebook will be sharing it on their wall, etc.

And this isn’t a one or the other thing, NZ has banned that crap and rallied around the families. A huge amount of money has been raise of which the total is still rising. The whole country stopped on Friday for a national call to prayer followed by 2 minutes silence.

Other countries might be making a big deal about the banning but it’s not the key headline here.

The problem with the expert beginner is that they refuse to learn the new tool, because in their mind the old way worked perfectly fine. The developer who recognizes the value of these systems and takes the time to learn their intricacies is the least likely to fall into the trap.

For one, your ability to defend your self and your family has been partially abrogated. Now it depends more on physical strength and the wealth to live in a safe area with other defenses.

Second, your ability to access the internet has been shown to be arbitrarily limitable, kind of like China's great firewall.

Third, your ability to speak and communicate about political issues has been tamped. Today it's possessing somebody else's anti-Muslim manifesto that gets you 10 years, tomorrow it's an anti-party manifesto. Let me take a look through all your private messages and documents, and believe me, I will find something that I can "class as objectionable".

I think Berlin, Germany provides a much better value for money for software developers, because one would need to earn 200k in Zurich to maintain the same standard of life that requires only 100k in Berlin[1].
