For comfort in pockets, volume might be a better measure. The Samsung Fold is a bit less than twice the volume of an iPhone XS Max, which itself falls pretty solidly in phablet territory from the perspective of people who don't like large phones.

My guess is that it's for people who want "phablet" to be a realistic description of their phone instead of a hyperbolic one.

Duck and cover gets a lot of mockery, but my understanding from reading morbidly fascinating Cold War history and source material is that is was an easily-taught response that was pretty effective at minimizing the damage from a shockwave and associated debris, or from direct exposure to the thermal pulse. Of course, that is only a narrow range of all possible causes of injury from a nearby nuclear detonation.

Not sure if I’m in the minority but I would prefer two separated clamshell screens to one bendy screen. At least until the bendable tech is 100%.

Two separate screens would still allow great multitasking when necessary. When not used perhaps it can completely fold behind the device for a traditional smartphone experience.

The feature was not so much the fine paying for it, but rather Congress being unable to pressure it via the pocketbook. Which presumably Elizabeth Warren regrets now.
True but its a bit of a problem when your hegemony keeps getting threatened by the latest flavor of the month social network and quarter after quarter your getting pressured by shareholders to keep increasing advertising revenue.
Each insurable loss like a car accident, house fire or heart disease, has two contributors: inherent risk, and behavior. (Inherent risk is risk you can do nothing about - age, gender, genes).

To the degree that AI can help reduce or measure behavioral risk, it's not only a good idea but only fair. I think most people would admit pricing insurance based on people's behavior is fair. They certainly do not like the idea of paying for others' right to drive fast and stop short. AI is a tool that is accelerating this trend.

All of the scary things mentioned in the article actually have nothing to do with AI, but discrimination based on inherent risks. Pricing insurance on ZIP certainly does not require AI. And while genes are a medical factor, getting old is the #1 inherent medical risk.

Is it fair to price on these things? For a house, ZIP makes sense - wildfire risk differs. But it is likewise undeniable that the old will cost more to care for than the relatively young. Debating AI won't help - the real debate is about whether we as a society are willing to protect people from the inherent risks of getting old, childbirth, cancer, living in a floodplain or wildfire zone, or even growing up in a poor area. We don't really have an honest debate about that.

I believe the F-22 uses air that is oxygen-enriched by a mechanical device that does some sort of filtering/diffusion process.

Picture this:

It's time to go fly. The alarm is going off, and you need to get in your jet. Boogers are streaming down your face, and you are experiencing sneezing fits that have you bent over with your eyes closing and tearing up. You can put on a mask with nice clean air, but it'll take an hour before you are in condition to fly. Sitting there on the runway waiting for your allergies to stop acting up is not acceptable.
capitalism and greed renders the costs of goods and services. If an establishment wants to charge more because rich people are shopping, so be it. You don't necessarily have to, however. There's the option (hopefully given the opportunity) to expand and maintain the price. Alternatively, you can offer a lower tier of product or service at lower cost. I appreciate supply and demand, but no one forces you to raise your prices as demand increases. Many cultures choose not to accommodate increased demand, just to keep the quality as it was, for the set supply they've always accepted.

The out of pocket maximum can be a lie, too. I have an 'out of pocket maximum' on my ACA insurance plan, but there are medical services that are exempt.

Last year, I paid $4000 more than my $6500 out of pocket maximum, because I had a heart procedure and the heart rehab following the procedure was an exception to the out of pocket maximum, a fact I discovered only after incurring the costs. You see, if you clearly follow the asterisk and the footnote references in the policy, then it's very clear that these expenses would not have been covered.
Rapid Compose – Console UI for Docker-Compose
I remember implementing strassen, only to be surprised that the naive implementation was actually faster, because it better exploited the machine architecture... that is until I tried using absolutely huge numbers.

Hi all!

We have a problem in our developer team, that the number of docker services are getting more and more and we could not remember all or new developers did not what and how to start.

So I've created a console app with console ui that we use know every day. I though maybe others have the same or similar problems.

As for 22k, low income for young generation is a real (global) issue, which DPP is fighting hard to solve. Having a pro-China, conservation populist figure like Gou is only going the worsen the problem of distribution of wealth.

"This is not something memcached or redis support out of the box, as far as I know. It would seem to imply a cache manager service that has its own in-memory table of Promises."

Note that it isn't even meaningful to suggest that memcache or Redis should support this, because they aren't responsible for filling cache values for misses. Only something actually generating the value upon the miss can implement this "promise".

And in the general case, you can't serialize promises either, so you can't be "putting a promise into memcached", because memcached only stores bytes. You'd have to wrap a lot of machinery around it, and even then, I personally would say it's the machinery doing it, not memcached.

(I think Redis does have some features that could be pressed into service here for notification, but Redis still wouldn't be doing the actual filling in of the value, since it can't.)

Step 1. Ask your lawyer. Step 2. See Step 1. ;)

But seriously, congrats on your new client. I think this really does seem like something that would be best served by speaking to a lawyer specializing in contract law, and specifically with international business. I’d be willing to bet there are all kinds of factors involved.
> That’s my first instinct too, but things can get really messed up if the “haves” control the political process. What if they don’t like living near the “have-nots”, and ban the construction of multi-family housing near downtown? Now that the supply of housing is constrained, prices start going up. Suddenly, the have-nots can barely afford rent.

In my experience, the people that support these housing policies are the kind that would rather everyone have $20k instead of $30k/$50k. Opposition to building denser housing is generally more prevalent with "progressives". At least judging from my experience in San Francisco.
maybe there is not need for such ambition. Seems like cell phone companies are developing for the sake of development because they're dependent on the release cycle to make money.
Regarding S&P499: as soon as you exclude one company, you're probably going to want to exclude a whole lot more.

Read down the list, and it's "this company set back technology and grew by consistently backstabbing partners and customers alike... this company set back the country by taking billions of dollars and then didn't build the infrastructure the fees were for... these companies grew by secretly mass-spying on everyone in ways that were already illegal in other modalities... this company killed all those people through arguably criminal negligence, and walked away..."

> outbid and outpay for all basic essential services

There has been a rise in Seattle restaurant prices, but that was clearly due to the many new burdens placed on them by the city government.

If there's money to be made from increased demand, businesses will appear to satisfy it, resulting in no increase in prices. In other words, prosperity does not cause inflation.

The price rises in Seattle are in real estate, and that's because the government artificially restricts the supply of it.

Zoning is one way NIMBYism can keep housing from being developers and housing prices high. They’re not separate ideas.
The only way to be priced out is if the city refuses to accept more people and build enough housing for people. This is a conscious choice by power brokers in cities, to restrict housing availability and enrich homeowners and landlords and real estate speculators.

Pricing people is not an inevitable consequence of population growth, it's the consequence of an older generation of haves deciding that younger and less wealthy people do not deserve housing in a city.

Rubio told the FT: "It is deeply disturbing that an American company would be actively working with the Chinese military to further build up the government's surveillance network against its own people [...]"

I can see why the US government is perturbed. The more patriotic thing to do would be helping the NSA, FBI, and a bunch of good, old-fashioned American TLAs build up our own government surveillance network against our own people, and maybe helping the CIA and US Military build up its surveillance network of the Chinese people.

Small business people aren't stupid. It's sad you think they are. I can assure you that the small business people--the shop owners and house cleaners and barbers and contractors -- knew who had to pay it and who weren't.

You'd be surprised to learn that some people like things to be fair even if they aren't directly involved in a transaction or agreement.

MS would arguably defend itself making the case that key employees might resign, or key accounts might leave, or whatever else its legal team comes up with. MS might even win such a case for all we know.

But Snapchat’s initial decision to be a “camera” company. Along with their redesign likely would’ve been done anyway. Regardless of voting structure.

From the article: “Harvey and van der Hoeven’s algorithm proves that multiplication can be done in n × log n steps. However, it doesn’t prove that there’s no faster way to do it. Establishing that this is the best possible approach is much more difficult.”

We did. Many times. Each time there's a generational shift in wireless technology some people come out and say it's good enough, we're done here, nothing new to make, why do you bother with all this effort. Then we do. And life improves, our experience with technology improves, and we get used to it. Then the cycle repeats itself.

Furthermore, I'm sorry I attacked you- I took a bit too cynical of a position here- I do understand the concept of White Hatting, and recognize its importance. I have also dealt with one too many "White Hats" that expect a monetary reward for finding bugs when I'm not in a position to do so, and have then gone and attacked me hard. It's not fun.

Now, I have been, and still am, one of those people that do occasionally poke at other people's stuff, and when I find something, I will tip them off. This is also not my day job, and as such, outside of official bug reporting platforms, I always specify that I will not accept compensation for what I have found. Many people are not that principled, and that bothers me to no end.

A decade ago I traveled shoestring over India and spent time in a lot of rural areas. In the north (especially Uttar Pradesh) I was overwhelmed by the overpopulation. When I mentioned this to middle-class Indians as a problem for the country, they generally didn’t agree that it was a problem. Some would respond that a larger population surely equates to more global clout, so this was a way for India to grow strong and assert itself on the world stage. Sometimes they would accuse me of wanting to undermine India’s growth, since family-planning strategies were supposedly just a way for the West to keep the Third World down.

I wonder if this is still a common attitude now, ten years on, when environmentalism may have made more inroads among India’s middle class, and when everyone is suffering from the obvious effects of so large a population, like air pollution.
Now I'm just imagining the contents of one's brain entering the public domain 70 years after death.

“An ignorant man, who is not fool enough to meddle with his clock, is however sufficiently confident to think he can safely take to pieces, and put together at his pleasure, a moral machine of another guise, importance and complexity, composed of far other wheels, and springs, and balances, and counteracting and co-operating powers. Men little think how immorally they act in rashly meddling with what they do not understand. Their delusive good intention is no sort of excuse for their presumption. They who truly mean well must be fearful of acting ill.”
