lol no. Anglepoise were just about top of the market when we bought one about ten years ago. Paid about £90-£100. A quick search shows about 10% more now. A genuine antique can run higher, especially if with Tiffany shades, original 20s bankers lamps etc.

I'm sure there's one or two others selling emperor's new clothes at absurd prices like Dyson too -- that's very far from "often".
The first rule would have a short half-life, spam systems would just learn to call again.

The rolling area codes you observed are already an anti-banlist mechanism.

Maybe a loose superposition of short half-life rules would work, like it works for email spam.
My Android phone came with a weather app preinstalled. The app cannot be uninstalled, is full of translation errors and some links redirect to Chinese websites. Who knows what data my phone constantly sends there?

Adding to that the fact that I don't receive system updates anymore, I have absolutely no trust in my phone. My next phone will be an iPhone, for the lack of better alternative.
If the technicians had not been there, the author would have stayed on the slightly large island for a week instead of going to the tiny island too. Perfectly OK I think.
You can certainly use the PSVR (on PC) like this.
Consider the difference "making content providers liable for the content they publish" vs "making platforms liable for the content others publish".
My understanding of the GDPR (did a course on it for work) is that it allows data sharing for advertising to named companies, but holds you and the advertiser responsible for ensuring that no-one else gets your data without permission and for letting you know if any such data breach occurs.

But I agree with you on the principle that bureaucracy very seldom does only the things I want.
There absolutely is such a thing as truffle oil made with real truffles, and you link also says so.
I get the sense that Reach Router is no longer maintained despite what the project owner says, plus there's the fact that he's been rehired into the React Router team.

According to the statement HMD Global gave to NRK, they have already rolled out a software update to fix this issue. Of course there is almost guaranteed to be other spyware on the phone serving the curiosity of the same and different masters, like Google.
California, Florida, and the entire EU have begun doing away with the time change.

California has done no such thing. All California did was strip out the old statute language from 1949 that wasn't being followed anyway. Federal law changes would be required for CA to deviate existing practice.
I'm not with Amazon and as much as I'd like to do the same, I suspect not.

The whole idea of the competition would be to use the same hardware so it's a level playing field from a hardware perspective which turns it into a software competition, right?
Forgive me but doesn't that mean they were actually using google+ in the first place? Which seems.... unlikely? Or at least incredible outliers.

You won't get the majority of people on Facebook to pay for the service after you've been giving it to them for "free" for 10 years, you'd maybe convert 10% if that, at which point what use is facebook with most of the users gone?
In European law, jail times and fines are multiplied by consecutive infringements to be punished. Meaning if you stole three times in a row and get caught after the third, you get sentenced three times the theft sentence.
If that's the case, they need to start issuing more fines to more companies to really make a dent.

These fines are big, but as a percentage of the tech industry revenue, they're still under 0.1 percent

As an employer, I have had mortgage brokers call our HR lead quite often to verify loan applications.

Content Tips for Your Dissertation or Project Write-Up
The lectures will contain content from text books, even if they aren't referenced. Reading around the topic will give a better understanding and better results.
It's shameful of Google (but totally expected) that they don't supervise the Android One program AT ALL. All of the Android One mobiles appear on the top list of their Android One microsite and I'm sure most of them contain malware built-in.

Note: Europe: the continent where most of the lectures are still not in English. And where are many languages. Not to mention the accents and the dialects in the same non-English language.

I also doubt you are aware how seriously distorted the result of the speech to text conversion would be for a non-professional recording of any non-trivial lecture given in English (e.g. domain specific terms).
Google has already started the process of splitting to a Google EEA.

They sent notices recently about a transfer of data custodianship to GSuite customers.
Interesting, I didn't remember this. It's the same on my 18.04 machine. And according to etckeeper it has been like this since the installation. But systemd-resolved is running, that's not a very consistent system configuration is it? /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to something generated by systemd-resolved. So in this case we can indeed say that systemd-resolved controls /etc/resolv.conf and the latter is really used by the rest of the system. No idea why anybody would intentionally use systemd-resolved this way or whether it is really just a bug. The bug report has been open for nearly a year and it looks like no Ubuntu core developer has commented. Unfortunately all too common in launchpad :(

The root cause for "resolve" not being in /etc/nsswitch.conf is libnss-resolve not being installed. It seems to be completely optional with nothing pulling it in.

In my 16.04 systemd-resolved is not even running. That's what I would have expected.

That's not quite accurate. The law allows you to legitimately ask for permission to share the data for advertising purposes, but you have to be transparent with the details, and the advertiser has to have the same safeguards on the data as your company (they aren't allowed to re-sell it without the original company's knowledge, for example).
So who is benefiting from this article 13? The copyright holders.

Not the people, not the startups, not the EU companies.

There are things to be said about GDPR and climate, but not so much about article 13. It's just retarded and insane. These people have totally no clue.

I actually like that option, it would allow us to filter and extract the info as well. I could see a nice little app on my phone where i could setup alerts based on the systems / apps i choose, and getting a notification if one of them where tagged. A little bit like Have I been pawned, but with software and hardware threats.

As a user, GDPR is great for me.

As a user, article 13 is bad for me.
Why does Windows require a restart after installing updates?
> I'm always afraid to put a 5

I realized one day why I behave in ways like this. It's from working in a clear-cut environment that I treat normal communication literally. Someone once commented that I 'never lie' which I understood was much more true than false but ultimately still false.
I was also curious about that. In other stories I've read, I've heard it referred to as a big ugly box with a touch screen embedded on top of it, which is what I imagined most people worked on. But this just looks like a normal iPhone with a large breadboard connected.

If he wanted to cash in on this, I wonder how much he'd get for it? To my eyes at least it's worth far more than any of the modern art "installations" that sometimes sell for millions.

Copy right law normally have exemptions for things like fair use or fair dealing or for research.

Article 13 includes those exemptions.

Publishers like YouTube can't cope with those exemptions and have implemented a baffling system where copyright material is either:

- freely available and monetised to the uploader not the rights holder

- freely available and monetised to the person claiming to be the rights holder (they may not be the rights holder)

-available with restrictions ("not available in this country")

- blocked completely, with copyright strikes against the uploader, even if the upload carefully obeys copyright laws.

This is mostly a problem with lazy publishers, but complex and inconsistent international laws don't make it easy.

Do you think I will stay in Europe with my company if this bill passes? You must be crazy.
Yes, but currently content providers are making money (not in case of wikipedia, I know) over content that could be against the law (it could be hate speech, harassment, copyright infringement or whatever). For example how are online content providers any difference from traditional newspapers, where the director is accountable for all content published in the newspaper?
“improvements made anywhere besides the bottleneck are an illusion.” Loved that maxim.

Vim for JavaScript and React in 2019
We were all using google+ to share images. Some of them are on facebook (my mother and sister in particular), but the rest of my extended family is not there. But we were all on G+, I told them if they wanted to see baby pictures you have to sign up.

I couldn't care less about anyone outside my family, if they want to contact me they can email or call me by phone.
Taiwan has prospered just fine without pervasive digital surveillance.
Probably I was not as careful in the choice of a word "double-double". My point was that the error recovery (or, as the paper refers, the error-free transformation) seems crucial for FMA emulation in general. You are entirely right that double-double has many pitfalls.

My thinking was that, in this particular case we need around 24 × 3 = 72 bits of mantissa (I haven't verified the exact number, but it clearly exceeds 60 bits) to avoid the double rounding---which double precision cannot provide. The verified algorithm gives a lot more than enough headroom for this particular setting: ExactMult is just a normal double multiply and ExactAdd will recover the error out of double addition. It might even be possible to optimize later cases. But it seems to me that you can't really get rid of the error recovery procedure itself. Well, I may be wrong.

EDIT: Oh, I see your neighboring replies. So I was wrong! The glibc solution however looks pretty expensive and it is unfortunate that there exists no faster alternatives known.
Side note: I didn't notice the page was translated from another language until after I finished reading it and noticed the title bar. Machine translation between European languages has really come a long way.
Make sure to look at the % map, not the 'number of voters map' as that is a more representative picture.
I stopped reading when I got to this point, because it is clearly an opinion piece masked as news. Regardless of whether I agree with the opinion, because it is classed improperly I can't take anything else in it seriously.
This depends heavily on the country's educational system.

I have gone through most of my middle-school and some high-school in Italy, and after that completed high-school in Moldova. Classes in Moldova were exactly how you described, and I hated it, while in Italy it was exactly the opposite.

Having the teacher explaining and expanding on the content in the course books while students take their own personalized notes is much more efficient and productive.
Maybe it's just me, but "Oculus Rift" has always sounded like a Harry Potter spell to rip someone's eyeballs apart.
This is really neat. But for me, if typing on a keyboard becomes just as functional as writing, I would still choose paper and pencil for two reasons: no power is required and it effortlessly autosaves.
It's difficult to ask for users to pay for a service that was always free, indeed, furthermore facebook is not growing its user base anymore.

But a competitor can emerge by providing an alternative service, for a fee, marketing it as "the service that doesn't spy on you".

Now, sure, that will be a niche service, and social networks can't be niche services. The protonmail of facebook or twitter will probably never emerge.
No, the compiler is generating good code. If you use a smaller word size you just end up doing more multiplications (e.g. cut your word size in half, do 4x as many multiplications).
Yes, and for what reason, and what result? Perplexed why someone would spend this amount of time on such a thing. To each their own I suppose.
If they ever go too far with their "independence", China will crush them like an ant, so yes, in a practical sense Taiwan is China.

I did the same as you, initially reach router seemed like a great alternative, but it really doesn't feel finished, updates are few and far inbetween, and there is a large backlog of open issues / PRs.
This "solution" will result in tip money being taken from servers who work hard and being given the servers who don't work as hard, which in turn will reduce incentive to work hard across the board, and lead to a worse dining experience for customers.
That's weird, I've had nothing but a great experience with the React Router team. Can you point to an example?
> Email is federated, but everyone running and managing their own email servers is too costly, so for consumers, it migrated to large sites.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of email servers are corporate servers, not in FANG datacenters.

How to Get More YouTube Subscribers
Apart from anything else, how are you going to persuade someone if you don't talk to them? A lot of people that get pulled into these things don't have access to reasoned counter-points. They might have just searched for something on Youtube and got sucked down a fringe kook rabbit hole by the recommendation engine.

For semi-private file sharing (ie family-wide, not worldwide), paying services are great. If you want as big of a circle of "friends" as possible, you are in a "winner-takes-all" situation, and being free helps to be the winner.
ALL Android phones users should go NOW and instal NoRoot Firewall. This will catch anything running over the OS (but I feel it wouldn't catch any rootkit). What information is missing in the article is "which app is leaking the data"? On all rooted android phones you can advise on uninstall xyz and be done with it. Then you can take screenshots and make a nice post in your blog. Unfortunately I don't own a Nokia 7 to do this myself.

You are missing the "user content" part.

If I anonymously upload copyrighted material to YouTube, I can sue YouTube. Same with Reddit, Facebook, Steam, Kongregate, Pinterest, Imgur, Instagram, ... .

I'm building a platform where anyone can make a game and share it. If someone names his game "Zelda" or "Tetris", I can get sued. If my competitor uploads his own material to my site, they can sue me.

Theses platforms should have "automated filters that detect copyrighted material, and make a distinction between original and parody". If you know of such system, please tell me.

Staying in Europe with a user content platform makes no sense.
Please don't assume this is a one-time event, or that it is specific to this brand or even to Chinese manufacturers.
Nokia could actually be in the best half on that aspect, just got unlucky.

Most of such info leaks are hidden. I've already witnessed several OEM firmwares sending informations to many different parties. Too often, this is done through http, with payload encrypted. But it's always symmetrical encryption, and the encryption key can be computed from the fields in clear in the request.
Such techniques are enough to stay under the radar of classic MITM, and require hard reverse engineering work to detect.
I've noticed such behaviours on major Chinese OEMs, and white-label brands.

I never did actual reverse engineering on more western-ish brands, but the little I've seen doesn't look good.
On Samsung Galaxy S9+ simply listing apps that can install apps silently (which is the master of all permissions, because this gives the right to give apps any permission), raises an advertisement company in Israel and a Telco in Singapore.

If you're worried about this situation (I do), I recommend you start lobbying about mandatory bootloader unlock, and easier OS replacement on smartphones.
In this area, Nokia is amongst the worse, since AFAIK they still haven't authorized any bootloader unlock.
Personally my work in this ecosystem is to make the Phh-Treble ROM, which is most likely the Android ROM with the largest hardware support (even though it requires the phone to be natively running Android 8 at least), and it is opensource.

I don't think they aim to turn out computer science graduates. The article states they will be starting with HTML, CSS and JS, it's likely to be more computer competency than anything.
A friend of mine bought a house from a cost-per-click ad...

If the seller has $1000 per click, that's really going to distort the market...
> one of his servers made $70,000 four years ago, working 30 hours a week. That is $44.87/hour. Come 2022, that server would be making nearly $50/hour.

According to http://www.in2013dollars.com/2015-dollars-in-2018?amount=700..., that 2015 $70k ($44.87/h) would become 2018 $74k ($47.54/h). If he's getting $50/h in 2022, wouldn't that be a net drop in his wages anyway?

Edit: barring a deflationary period, I suppose.
Having the NTSB certify updates isn't going to increase safety. The accepted approach to safety as set in ISO 26262 largely focuses on making sure that the processes in place via which the software and hardware is designed, created and modified. The reason you wouldn't get regression if you were interested in FuSa is because you'd have a process in place to ensure that software can't be distributed without being tested and a process to ensure that bugs are included in the test suite.

It's quite clear in this case that Tesla doesn't have an organisational structure that fulfills the requirements for functional safety.
My heart warmed when they said they were maintaining backwards compatibility.
Yeah, I recently switched from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S10.

I don't have a previous experience so my reasoning was "well it's Samsung, at worst they'll have some shitty branded apps and some cruft". But I don't have an idea what these dozens of preinstalled apps running on my phone doing. Almost none of them can be uninstalled and only a handful can be disabled.

It is kind of scary to use a banking app on this thing. Never felt this way on an iPhone. I wanted to see the Android side after years of iPhone use, apparently it is still shit.
"China" claims it is part of the People's Republic, which it is indeed not.

But both sides agree that it is China.

Like Korea includes both North and South even if there are two states.
But surely taking notes on the fly when you have been barely introduced to the subject isn't going to help with that.

I found that taking structured, detailed notes in lectures forced me to pay close attention & work constantly to keep up with the lecturer. For the courses I did that for, it felt like it was equivalent to doing an entire extra revision session with the lecture material for me - I had to do much less work to go over the material after the lecture in order to make sure I understood it, so it was a far more efficient use of my time that just 'attending' the lectures and then doing revision work afterwards.

Some people can maintain that level of connection with the lecture without taking notes of course, but that’s what worked for me.

Google has one killer feature: It (barely, but) understands. It can find sentences that use different structure but meaning is similar. It can find result using synonyms instead of the original words. And so on. Google also understands simple plain language questions ("how do i do ... on ford mondeo mk4" works perfectly - but only Google can do that). It is even able to detect irrelevant results - e.g. it really filters just MK4 mondeos when I am looking for something, but I also had MK3 and putting MK3 into the query really did filter MK4 results away. I never had such success and productivity with any other search engine, and I really tried to like DuckDuckGo.
