I would not want that for the same reason. It's not great but I deal with them by 1) generally keeping my phone on silent and 2) only answering calls from people in my contact list. If they really need to reach me they will leave a voice mail, if not then it most likely wasn't important.

I'm not sure a cop would leave a message in the situation you mentioned above but otherwise it works OK. Some of the robo callers end up leaving a message but it's almost always 2 seconds or less so I don't bother listening, anything that short just gets deleted.
One of the biggest migrations is coming from NYC, which has a city tax on top of state and federal. So maybe moving from NYC to CA is still a net reduction in taxes?

Also, the age bracket for in-migration is 25-35. So the typical story of people maximizing their career potential despite high taxes. If they had the same career/income opportunity in a lower tax state, would they take it?
I feel like being "weeks away from defending my phd at ucsd in computational neuro" is maybe the most important variable in your story and how you feel about life right now :)
Yes, you know what OS its running.

To install a Linux application, you explicitly have to open the Linux container command line (which is Debian Stretch) and run the install commands.

Ex: If I run 'apt install firefox', Firefox will be installed in the Linux container, but will be available to run from the ChromeOS app menu.

Edit:

Also, currently you need to explicitly go in the ChromeOS settings to download and install the Linux container. I'm not sure if this will change or not, but it is not currently included by default.
"Wipe your Linux partition and tell me how long until you have your computer back to how you had it."

30 minutes to restore the same environment or 1 day to install something totally new and learn about it. Probably the latter.

This is less efficient, but also requires a much smaller investment. That makes it viable for routes that aren’t busy enough to warrant building a rail system.

Also, because they can take much steeper inclines and tighter corners, trolley buses can compete with trams in busy city centers if those cities have steep hills.
Same goes for asthma medication. Epinephrine got removed from OTC options a few years ago, and now it's impossible to treat asthma without getting pushed into steroid treatments with whopping price tags.
Why would it be? There are specific things you have to do for your code to be considered "integrated" with GPL code and as long as you avoid that there's no issue.
I've been using Ubuntu on my primary work laptop for years now, and the only real sticking point is video conferencing. Skype for Business and Webex barely work. Google hangouts is n't bad, but often runs into audio trouble with pulse and alsa.

And the real trouble is that you can't just go find the one that works. If your co-workers all use webex then you're stuck.

The script heavy stuff in general is a pain in my experience. I have a 2995U + 4gb ram chromebook that just runs Arch, and gmail/drive/etc are crazy slow. Even scrolling through the newest stuff on thingiverse for an hour with however many loaded images is faster than some of google's pages/apps. On the plus side, Firefox seems to handle 50-100+ loaded tabs well as long as there isn't too much stuff going on with them.
The proxy du jour is going to be Envoy. Jump on that bandwagon instead.
I was inspired from a couple of videos for my "flows"/management.

This speaks about keeping 7 accounts: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=auzLhKvsxnQ

There is a Tom Ferry (real estate guy but has some sound tips) also has on a video a VERY good flow diagram on how to distribute money in different buckets/accounts. Apologies but I couldn't find it on my phone.

I was "inspired" by the above and once I organized my accounts/flows and stopped using "single account for all" my life became so much simpler. And of course PayPal wallet is not a permanent parking space for £€¥$.
TL;DR:

City of Fontana PD entered into a small agreement to try out 5 body cameras and associated Cloud Storage. Contract was for 5 years (for some reason). Contract had several convenient ways to terminate it.

After trial, Fontana PD issues an RFP and the winner was a different vendor than the trial.

A few years later, IT department notices bill related to original contract that it realizes is not for anything. They try to terminate the contract, and the account rep for Axon tells them the only termination clause in the contract is for lack of appropriated funds and that terminating under the current conditions would result in the company putting a bad item on the PD's credit report. (This was a lie)

Also, the company used to be called Taser and they were the originators of the famous Taser gun.

Pretty cruddy.
Back in the day when I had my first cell phone things were not that far from this. Except that usually it was free/cheap to call people that were on the same carrier and price to call other carriers was ludicrous.
1000s of phone calls coming into your personal/main phone number at a rapid rate would ruin lives at this point.

You'd basically have to get a new number to prevent it which is a big problem for most.

>it just seems incredibly unlikely in this day and age, at least in developed countries.

This opinion wouldn't be quite as naive if there was some magical boundary that keeps digital information solely in the hands of benevolent rulers in developed countries, but there's not.

>Governments have also, at times, discriminated against people for their sexuality, or gender, so should the government never be allowed to gather any information on those attributes?

That's somewhat like how some gun rights advocates say it's futile to ban guns because you can just kill people with knives, so why don't we ban knives too?

We're talking about virtually total information awareness which is far more powerful, problematic, and discriminate than knowledge of superficial attributes such as race and gender.

That's actually kind of genius. Domain squatting is highly automated, so in most cases it's not hard to figure out when a domain is squatted rather than simply inactive. Taxing squatters 10% of their sale offer every year would make them think twice.

It could even be done through the registrars: for every year you hold onto a domain, the registrar withholds another 10% if/when you sell it. Legitimate companies and people wouldn't suffer, since they would want to keep their domains more or less forever. Those looking to flip domains would have to consider their diminishing returns.
Nginx Is Now Officially Part of F5
Didn't get fired, left voluntarily (leaving the bay area)
>F5 is fully committed to open source, which has been core to NGINX throughout its history.

Correct me if im wrong, but F5 does not presently develop or endorse a single open source product. Things like "we are owners" and "we choose speed" on the vision of culture diagram seem lopsided when compared to 'progress' and 'curiousity.' its almost as if F5 never cared that NGINX had a commercial offering at all, and is instead focusing entirely on open-source generalizations.
> Why not free the resources here while you're at it?

Because you do not have an exclusive reference to all of them; we could be freeing something that is still in use somewhere.

So why not reference-count? Because reference counting is slow, and must be meticulously maintained (here, languages help with constructs like smart pointers), and doesn't handle cycles in the object structure.

> I find RAII a lot easier to model and think about than "you drop this reference and one day maybe your object is destroyed, but don't really rely on that".

The RAII model doesn't do away with this "maybe" in any shape or form. We drop this reference, and the smart pointer decrements the refcount; maybe it has hit zero so the object is destroyed, maybe not. Maybe the zero refcount triggers a whole cascade of thousands of other objects hitting their zero refcount, which takes many cycles to execute, or maybe it doesn't.
And there is nothing about the Pythom runtime stopping someone from using it anyway.

With a statically typed language, you really have to go out of your way to do it like using reflection and if your code breaks on an update you get what you deserve.

I am type 2, but here in Canada my cost to buy Insulin is way lower, I have no medical plan and buy OTC about 4 months supply for $60 CDN.

Also since I am diabetic I have to have a yearly eye examination but it is free.

So also for my visits to the Diabetic Clinic every three months where they monitor me.

All my doctor visits are free, I have a general (family) doctor, heart doctor, urologist, kidney doctor all free to make appointments with.

I do not know how I could afford medical help if I had to pay directly for it all. Yes, I have higher taxes, but I am 62. I have been paying taxes for decades. However, I have relatives in the US with low taxes but are now near bankrupt or are running out of health insurance.
Big Pharma knows no party.
Does that mean they aren't allowed to send and receive payments? Why is a middleman service in the business of determining that they shouldn't be allowed to send and receive money? Was Niteo misusing their service?
I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem with multiple comparisons. In a GWAS since you're comparing possibly thousands of genes against controls, the probability of getting a false positive is higher just by the multiple tests you're running.

So you have to correct for this often by dividing the chosen p-value threshold (usually 0.05) by the number of comparisons (this is the simple Bonferonni correction). If you looked at 10,000 genes your new significance threshold would be 0.05/10000=0.000005. Therefore any gene difference between groups must have a p-value of less than 0.000005 to be considered significant if you're testing that many genes. However, if you chose to only look at 5-HTTLPR, then you don't need this correction and you only need p < 0.05.
Lots of people affirmatively believe that the uninsured should die:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2011/09/let-him-die-a-de...

>What should happen, the moderator asked hypothetically, if a healthy 30-year-old man who can afford insurance chooses not to buy it—and then becomes catastrophically ill and needs intensive care for six months? When Dr. Paul ducked, fondly recalling the good old days before Medicare and saying that we should all take responsibility for ourselves, Blitzer pressed the point. “But, Congressman, are you saying the society should just let him die?” At that point, the rabble erupted in cheers and whoops of “Yeah!”
>These platforms can do no right.

Yes they can. Easily. Separate the part of the business that does content hosting and other technical services from the part of the business that's effectively a scaled up editorial board (curated recommendation service) into separate companies. Allow anyone to access the same services/data for the same fees so that people can get their own data and create alternative presentations. This will disentangle responsibilities, remove conflicts of interest and allow for real competition.
Nah, you can't run 16-bit executables or NE executables in modern 64-bit Windows any more. The virtual 8086 mode that was being used is basically unavailable in long mode.
> 1) there are plenty of remote/virtualisation tools

For small/personal projects they need to be free and, for some of us, available offline (I often tinker locally while travelling through low/no signal areas). Do you know of any that fit that bill?

Even with free and convenient tools some will resent needing to test on an extra platform at all just because Safari is slow to adopt new ideas or implements them partially/buggyly.

> 2) same logic applies to mobile

Incorrectly, but yes it does. Which is why you often see "doesn't work on mobile" or "works badly on mobile" in comments here and elsewhere. Mobile is a more general thing than supporting Safari though and a battle in its own right: it is more about accounting for small screens, no physical keyboards, touch-only, low power CPUs, etc.

> 3) iPhone has up to 80% share in many locations,

If a project is not optimised for (or not working at all on) mobile generally, then iDevices having x% share of mobile for particular populations becomes irrelevant. 80% seems rather high for any given population though, could you state any for which this is definitely true?

> Macs up to 25% share in some demographics

You are not potentially cutting these people off by not supporting Safari though, as they have the option of using other UAs unlike users of iOS based devices.
Thanks for the rec!

I unfortunately decided to install RW_LEGACY years ago when I set it up. It's now in a weird state where it has SeaBIOS installed but legacy boot is disabled. From what I've read, I need to boot into a Chrome OS recovery to enable legacy boot, which should allow everything to work. But I haven't been able to find a simple Chrome OS recovery shell image for me to boot into, so I'm kind of stuck rn.

I always go (and suggest to others) for the "bounced payment" (and it has never happened in my life). But banks really love overdrafts. It is a major source of income. I prefer to get an angry email and throw a freebie and sort this out than having the bank ripping me off. This way I show my counterpart that "hey mistakes happen here is your money and let me buy you dinner to show you that we are good", than having to the other person getting paid and me ebfing paying 5x that dinner cost.

Overdraft is a loan. Would you get a loan with insane interest rate and fees just to get a payment go through? Not me.

I didn't know about the EoL for Chromebooks. I have one on the list that will reach it next year. Yes, I've had it for ~5 years, but I didn't expect it to just stop receiving updates after a certain period of time. Especially because it is still usable. I even got an older model chromebook because it was the best in the market for the price point at the time. Little did I know I was shooting myself in the foot.

This will make me rethink chromebook purchases in the future. I feel sorry for the people who bought into pixel.
I've been concerned about this, but at least for now F5 is committing to maintain the open sourceness of nginx. They are saying the right things:

> F5 is fully committed to open source, which has been core to NGINX throughout its history, starting with Igor Sysoev’s first release of NGINX code in 2004 and continuing with the release of NGINX Unit in 2017. We know the proof will be in the proverbial pudding on this one, so let our actions speak for us over the coming months and years.
> ChromeOS adding almost zero value here.

Functional hardware accelerated video playback is a pretty big value to have (neither firefox nor chrome supports hwa video decoding on linux, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_accelera... ). It also has a much better system compositor than X11, actually shaking off the broken legacy cruft that Linux distros seem determined to cling on to.

You can get some of this on "regular" linux with projects like https://github.com/intel/ozone-wayland but the state of graphics & video support on Linux continues to be a joke (relevant xkcd from 10 years ago https://xkcd.com/619/ )

I do have to smirk slightly, since a common complaint that I hear from people critical of millennials is that "everything is about sex these days!" as some sort of thinly-veiled way of dismissing people of a certain age group, when the facts seem to indicate that that simply isn't the case.

Anyway, I do have to wonder why this is happening? Is it due to the fact that there's less lead exposure, or is it just easier to find other stuff to do nowadays (which I realize sounds facetious but I don't intend it to be).

Anecdotally (which I realize means nothing in regards to science), I've noticed that I tend to have less of a libido when I am less physically active and/or I'm eating less healthily. I wonder if something like obesity rates have been directly correlated.

> Maybe I'm being naive but what do their 350,000 employees actually do?

I used to think it was "make chips", but they contracted that out a few years back. IT outsourcing is a big part of it, which tends to drive up staff numbers much faster than in-house projects. They're also still fairly big in business tech like POS systems, although I think that's been shrinking?
