> On the other hand it does not fail catastrophically

So my two complete failures due to the crack were not "catastrophic" then?

The case cracking is common, and those two failures were common enough: most users would consider the phone uneconomic to fix, and not everyone has my tenacity or skill to waste time fixing their phone.

I also think it was that phone where the flash slowed enough to make it barely usable.

Back on topic.

The only Nexus I have had that hasn't had a problem was a Samsung Nexus 10 (still goes, but stuck on insecure Android 5.1).

The only Samsung phone I have had was the original Galaxy Nexus, which was still going when I gave it away last year. It's problems were: 1. screen burnin (OLED) and 2. Google didn't release Android 4.4 (due to TI dropping OMAP4 support?) even though 4.4 came out within 2 years. That phone cost more than an iPhone 4. My colleagues got iPhone 4 phones at the same time, and they got updates for twice as long and their phones remained useful for far longer.

So my experience with Samsung hardware has been good. I have always avoided buying Samsung because I hate their modified Android versions and lack of updates.
Stand up to them by doing what? Moving to SF? Turning down the job and working for a local company that pays even less?

Is any one group particularly skeptical in the greater scheme of things? Even in various scientific fields you see people believing insane things about subjects they're not experts in. Like say, believing anti vax theories, creationism/intelligent design, etc.
This leverages a lot of modern political ideas to attempt to understand the past. The streetcar networks got through the war dilapidated from low maintenance because workers and materials were needed for the war effort. People hated the streetcars for being rough and uncomfortable, freezing in cold weather, broiling in heat, forcing all classes and types to squeeze together. The general feeling was that cars and buses on big roads were the future. Why rebuild a decaying streetcar network that no one loved when people preferred roads? Passing this off as conspiracy back in the day would probably get you accused of Communist sympathies.
If you make the claim that Self driving cannot be done without LIDAR, then you are implying that if the LIDAR cannot provide accurate data due to weather, the car cannot drive autonomously.
I applied to colleges back in 2006/7. Did something drastic happen to college application competitiveness in the last decade or so? I'd understand getting only rejections if he only applied to Ivys or something; but, I have a hard time accepting that he's anywhere outside of the caliber of the top 10% of applicants. Is it because of the degree programs he applied to?

Tonnes of trash and human bodies recovered from Mount Everest
This issue really is an interesting window into the morass of inconsistencies in the human mind.

I wasn't even aware of how common these 'corrective' surgeries were on infants until somewhat recently and at first I thought it was probably the right thing to do but the more I think about it the more obscene it seems. These days I tend to think of any medically unnecessary surgery on infant's genitals (including circumcision) as wrong and fundamentally at odds with a 'do no harm' or 'do the least harm' medical philosophy.

Not to get sidetracked from the intersex issue, but it really does bother me that it seems that most people's reason for being okay with circumcision these days comes down to at least one of

* I'm circumcised and I want my sons penis to look like mine

* I think circumcised penises look better

* Circumcised penises aren't susceptible to problems caused by ignoring the very minimum requirements of personal hygiene.

* Circumcised penises aren't susceptible to phimosis (though phimosis is much much rarer than botched Circumcisions)

All of these reasons are relatively absurd when put next to the fact that you're putting your infant child at a considerable risk of serious medical complications should something go wrong and arguably minor sexual impairment even if things go right.
They are thick and sturdy. That's what I like about them. Thick, but with a 35W CPU that can do miracles. Utilitarian piece of hardware so far away of thin modern laptops, I just like them a lot.
Theres nothing wrong with those assumptions, people often have personal experience of these things, which is why they're fighting to change things. It would be wrong to discount peoples opinion because they have direct experience of something though.
I can no way put myself into your shoes and behave like I understand. I don’t. If it was me, I would be heart broken at that age. Now that I’m older and done with college, I feel a sense of relief for him. But that’s maybe because I’m projecting my experience on to what I should’ve felt if I didn’t go to college.

Financial, parental, social stress aside, this is beautiful. It definitely seems like you have a better head on your shoulders than I did at your age.

What ever path you choose, just stay positive, work on yourself, shoot for things, let time do it’s thing.

I actually sort of agree; it comes out that he did, in fact, get in to a number of schools and he concedes that even if he'd gotten into one of his desired schools he would still have written something like this.

It might make sense to do this kind of thing as a personal reflection or inducement to growth, but the article itself makes the author seem mostly self-aggrandizing and smug.

> Pretty sure there are no plans to replace signals, but maybe there are libraries that make signal handling easier?

Non-portable, but sigprocmask() SIG_BLOCK plus signalfd() (Linux) or kqueue() EVFILT_SIGNAL (BSDs). Neither is a good solution for handling mmap SIGBUSes, but they're generally good for handling most signals (USRn, TERM, HUP, CHLD, etc) more similarly to other kinds of events.
In my case, I guess I am? Obviously the site owner will get some logging results, and maybe they will try to optimise for that.

I'm fine with a site owner knowing their demographic. That's potentially useful for other things, eg should you invest in localisation? Otherwise unless you have a vpn, your IP is going to be visible anyway.

It probably depends on the referral site. For example, do Amazon have any reason to sell my data to anyone else? It's most valuable to them and they already have a decade+ of purchase and browsing history.

I still think this a preferable situation to targeted ads which try to guess what I want.
Most of them are in tech hubs like the bay area. I know it's popular to dismiss that view as unjustified arrogance or whatever, but I've actually made a living in the Midwest and other "not a tech hub" locations. The difference in interest and ability cannot be overstated: my colleagues in SF are heads and shoulders above the typical developer I worked with in those other places.
In every supply chain there is a owner, the channel master. Basically the guy that controls it, directly and the farther out it get indirectly. Until a new party is the channel master for that part of the network.
Besides the issues of matching goods to information the transparency that is necessary for a true fully integrated supply chain as envisioned or necessary for blockchain to work won't be accepted by any player. Si ply because everything from markets to customers to potential BoMs and production efficiency can be derived by any party in the chain. And that is not even without looking at processes which is different story all together.

Don't trust: I will not even engage with you and will not do Y. Example: the belief by some that US should not engage in high-level diplomatic talks with North Korea on disarmament because North Korea has no incentive to follow through on its promises.

I think the very reason why the commenter used the example of anti-Semitism is precisely because, taken on its own terms, it is, a priori, an indefensible position. Refusing to engage with such positions isn't so much righteous as just plain right. And I agree that insults aren't generally effective, rhetorically, but was there any more than an implicit insult in said comment? And do we really want to worry so much about the hurt feelings of anti-Semites?

(I don't think it's entirely fair to replace "anti-Semite" with "Republican" or "Democrat." FWIW I would, as an example, be happy to engage with people who held political positions opposed to mine in general, and concerning immigration in particular, in arguments concerning economic impact and so forth. But, if those people's arguments can be boiled down to axioms I don't share -- e.g., person X deserves the opportunity of living in the United States because they were born there, and person Y does not because they'd weren't -- then I would choose not to engage with them.)

And yet the discussions on the candidate post-hiring interviews mostly revolves around whether they confirm to the company/tech/what-have-you 'culture' which, imo, is simply a euphemism for ageism, in-group bias, prejudice, hubris, and one-upmanship more often than not. The world would be a better place if people started accepting the fact for what it is: There wouldn't be so much despair around the tech interview process if not everything was broken, surely?

There's nothing wrong with this guy except for maybe the fact that he thinks he deserves to get into a top school. Top schools are really just as good as a lot of lower acceptance rate schools. The point is the piece of paper, not necessarily where you go. Where you go has ancillary benefits like connections and more opportunity, but that doesn't make you any lesser if you take a school with less of that. Some of the smartest people in the world didn't even go to college.
It's bizarre to have my views characterized as alt-right.

> People who blow up Americans are our enemies.

The groups doing those things have been funded by the US government quite recently, and would likely not exist if the US government hadn't tried to meddle in the middle east decades ago.

> These wars were authorized by duly elected legislative representatives

Sort of. The wars would likely not have escalated if the information in the Iraq war logs was known earlier. The war logs showed that the US classified information about what was actually going on in the war so that the public would continue to support it. If the American people knew that it was a proxy war against Iran and that the US was abetting war crimes against former Baath party members, it is unlikely that the war would have continued.

> at the behest of multiple ideologically-opposing executive administrations.

If you think the major parties are in disagreement on war related issues you are not paying close attention. There are only minor points of disagreement.

> openly admits to choosing to spread DNC leaks harmful to Clinton and choosing not to publish any negative documents about Trump, despite having access to a plethora of such documents.

Assange's decision not to publish material related to Trump was based on it already having been widely published or based on its questionable authenticity. Do you really think that anything damning about Trump could have been kept secret? I think that sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory :)

> Assange revealed nothing

I'm not sure if you have read the war logs, but there was significant information revealed that should make the American people quite angry, both about the loss of life caused by the wars and the massive amount of money wasted on the wars.

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have cost an amount equal to a 50% tax cut for all Americans earning under $500K for seven years in a row.

The amount of suffering caused by the misallocation of funds (which Assange helped expose) is monumental.

I like the gas pedal example. I read a similar one somewhere where we measure temperature inside the house and energy usage by the heater. The energy usage is correlated with outside temperature, but inside temperature stays constant, so we conclude that inside temperature is unrelated to heater and turn the heater off.
No. I work for a fully remote company, and we decided that individuals within the company could pay for working a coworking space if they wanted, but giving them a stipend for doing so created a benefit for those employees that didn't exist for employees that optimized their home office for remote work. Personally I am in favor of more pay for every employee across the board at an organization rather than trying to come up with lots of extra benefits to take advantage of to collect more money.

I think that some kind stipend for office/equipment/etc does make sense for companies that have remote and in-office employees, but feel that it should be a set amount and not tied to actual usage, as I feel that in those cases, the company is getting a clear benefit from the worker being remote, in not having to provide them with space in the office.
I think there's a lot of value of curating the best of "Biohacking" for average people. Then also being data-driven in determining if those hacks are actually improving your sleep, weight or productivity.

> Nobody went in the direction of landing boosters

Of course they did, but they only wanted to do it on DoD money. When that wasn't further forthcoming they pivoted to other projects that were funded.

Landing rocket as a stalled idea wasn't due to lack of technical foresight, it wad a result of big companies lacking financial foresight. I give credit to Space X for making that business leap, even though landing their boosters was actually an ad hoc response to their initial failure to secure cheap Russian engines.

The population growth isn't coming from new births, which have leveled off. Rather, it's coming from people living longer. This is true in every nation that manages to crawl out of utter poverty - within a generation or two, birth rate drops to at or below replacement.

Maybe it is just me, but I do not really see the need for "abstractions" in a linear algebra library. Numbers are already an abstraction, you do not want to hide them! Ok, maybe you want to choose between "float" and "double", but this does not merit all that overcomplication.
