This appears to be:

1. Pegged to USD
2. Controlled by a central entity
3. Tied to a social media account

So it has very little to do with currencies like bitcoin (it certainly violates the spirit of them, even if it chooses to reproduce some of the morphology), but they are IMO associating it with cryptocurrencies for publicity and more importantly in the hope of avoiding regulation by confounding regulators for long enough to become established de-facto amongst consumers.

Banks and payment networks like Visa/Mastercard/Paypal should be most worried by this, as it will be designed to cut them out of transactions between users, advertisers, readers of media/news entirely - load up your account with Facebook coins (have they really called it 'Libra coin'?!?), and merchants will not have to pay mastercard, but they'll have to pay Facebook fees to accept your payment.
>If I need to change to a different playlist, or switch from music to the news, I pull over, make the switch, then start driving again.

I'm pretty sure that puts you somewhere near the top 0.0000001% of cautious drivers.
I have done it, you can store data in a transaction using SET LOCAL and refer to it in RLS policies.

I wouldn't recommend it though, it ends up being a performance nightmare.
There are plenty of React jobs out there (US West Coast). Some people are spooked by the Angular v1 vs v2+ debacle, but there are Angular jobs too.
Google Takeout is your friend. I download all my drive, calendar, email, etc once a month. (Not photos, since I have those already.)

It pays to be skeptical with your data. 3 copies. 2 local one offsite. If your only copy is offsite in the control of someone else... that's a terrible decision.
> The question is why are people completing unmarketable (or not sufficiently marketable) degrees?

There's no reason to single this out as 'the question'. There are many interesting questions around student loans. The article singles out the question 'What caused the student loan debt load to get to the level of “crisis” in the United States?' There is no reason that an answer to this question needs to involve the actions of individual students. You could answer the question by talking about how states are reducing the % of tuition they they contribute to state universities, or the explosion of university administration, or how student loans are easier to get now than in the past.
I got my first computer (Apple ][+) by conning my dad into thinking he needed VisiCalc.

The rest is, as they say, history.
We're getting some signs of sigmoid in both USA and Norway, already there in Japan.

The grand total is being pumped by China, India, Eastern Europe playing catch up, with places like South Korea having almost reached it.
> that every business tries to take advantage of in one form or another

This is exactly what both groups, corporate tax advocates and privacy advocates, are pointing to: the unsustainability or unethicality of the current widespread practices.

(Edit: this is getting downvoted quickly, so let me make a disclaimer — I'm not judging the soundness of the arguments of either advocates, just noting that "everybody does it" just restates their arguments.)
There's lots of things in Bitcoin that aren't in the whitepaper. The BTC chain is just what most people are agreeing on at the time. It is extremely mutable. The BTC mining limit is as mutable as anything else in the network.
I just went through this situation with a couple non-Google companies when I upgraded my phone, not realizing that their authentication info wouldn't transfer when Google transferred my data to the new phone. I thought I had double-checked that I had everything, but this got missed.

It was a pain for all of them, but it was worst for the ones that I had no other auth systems set up. (Or the ones that had my old phone number for SMS still, even though I thought I'd changed it everywhere.)

In the end, there's still no good system for real security. You're either stuck with a device you might lose (or someone might steal), or stuck with an account that you might cancel (or someone might steal). Or use biometrics which are just not ready for prime time.
This is ALWAYS my problem with frameworks. All of the database voodoo in the background is a hack. If you end up requiring anything outside of simple operations for a small audience, you'll be inevitably tearing it all out from the ground up. I despise poor query performance more than anything.
Nouriel Roubini says Facebook’s GlobalCoin has ‘Nothing to do with Crypto’
I don't think it's that big of a reach! I agree that it might be a bit unnecessary in this context, but in math classes it was always enormously valuable to have more examples than fewer ones. The pattern would become easier to identify. This helped out quite a bit if an example mixed in some other concept that I was quite a bit weaker at, because additional fully-worked examples would separate out all of the components and help me figure out what was blocking my full understanding of the problem.

> Apple doesn’t sell this stand with any mount, but for most professionals, they’ll already have a VESA mount to use with it.

No: you have to pay $200 (!) for a VESA mount adapter to use your existing VESA mount.
So many things missing from this (multi-user support in tvOS, Apple Arcade, new text editing features and mouse support in iPadOS , etc.) and what’s there reads like a PR piece.
I read it the same way: The military is scared of climate change and of the world’s biggest polluter.
It's disconcerting to see Google hiding behind the "just a partner/contractor" for literally every horrible thing they do now.

You did it. You own all the worlds info. Congrats. Stop pretending like you don't.
I'm not talking about iTunes videos either. An app like VLC for iOS will be able to play anything you throw at it.
Definitely cool to see things like this... While I tend to prefer emulation over legacy hardware approaches, it's very cool to see these kinds of things. I'm a bit of a fan of legacy tech, and online BBSes and the ANSi/Ascii art scenes today. A lot of it is now on Facebook more than the BBSes still alive. The way Twitter, FB and YT have headed, I'd be surprised not to see more users on more classic independent sites and irc more and more.
"Getting someone on the phone" is a big reason these kinds of problems happen in the first place. The reason Google doesn't do that is because they would be too big of a social engineering target, and couldn't possibly be secure in the face of that at a reasonable cost.
Yes. The music industry went after them in 2014 and they've been paying royalties since.
Migrate DNS to Google Cloud DNS
Your comment makes no sense. What does tax negotiation have to do with chaos responsibility and privacy breach?
Probably you would model it as a mixed integer optimization task, and optimize for max % competence across picked duets.

Not terribly dissimilar from a traveling salesman problem where you pick the order of nodes traveled between to minimize distance.

Note that the graph coloring described here is a way of defining what the possible nodes and edges are in the duet example. You still need to do some sort of solving on to find a feasible solution within the graph, which would likely also involve the same logic I mentioned above.
Git brought a whole new way of thinking about versioning to the masses. There are many concepts in git that were probably never encountered before in many people's careers. Combine that with the confusing git user interface and people are left feeling bewildered. Prior to git, you didn't have to spend a lot of time understanding your version control system. You learned a few commands and it just worked. Yes, many things were more work to accomplish, but they were simple, conceptually, they just required more grunt work. With git, I find people spend a non-negligible amount of time thinking about and dealing with the version control system. There are multiple ways of doing things and things that can lead to minor chaos. Older engineers need a fair amount of retraining. That said, I generally like git and I'm glad I made it through the painful learning process(painful moreso because I'm old). Now that I'm back using Perforce, I really miss some of git's basic functionality(and I'm working on wrapper scripts to reimplement it. Yeah I know about git-p4).
The establishment (somewhat aligned with "pro-Beijing" camp) has more than half seats (43/70) in HK's Legislative Council. Goverment bills require simple majority in the Council to pass. Establishment's support guaranteed that the bill would have passed.
Isn’t that just the definition of negotiation? Do you routinely expect fairness in business negotiation when the reality between the parties are anything but that?
Some zombie memes may still be active, but we also have a fresh set of Russia memes that are pushed every day by the three letter agencies, media, and individual people (with infected brains) on various social media platforms. It's quite fascinating to watch how it all works in action, human brains act very much like computers that are attached to a network - just as a computer virus infects a machine, which in turn infects other machines it comes in contact with, the same thing can be observed (via comments on internet forums) happening with human beings as they both enthusiastically spread and defend the meme.

If anyone happens to know of anyone who is studying this phenomenon specifically in today's context, or if there is even a general name for the phenomenon, please post a comment.
Fair enough. Is there any email provider that has similar procedures to NFSN?

They’ve been fixed for a while now. I have used each generation of the new keyboard, and since the 3rd gen (released in 2018) have had exactly zero issues with keys that repeat or fail to register the keystroke.

The feel on the butterfly keyboard is so much better than the older keyboards (which I also use on a regular basis). The amount of travel on the old keys honestly wears my hands down now. I can type forever without fatigue on the newer ones.
I'm not sure this is the main cause, but it's an interesting point of view.

For Amazon, their Network effect is huge because they have a huge delivery and storage facility network. The barrier to entry is huge.

For Airbnb, it might be closer to what this article is saying. But also it's less convenient for home owners to have their location on multiple sites (need to sync calendars, the subscription takes much longer...). So they pick one, which is Airbnb.
... well i hope this'll ripple to other domains. The renaissance of modular synthesizers is highly noticeable in today's music making, and especially live performances, well a car is very similar to a sonic vehicle in that sense.
Also "Eleven protesters were arrested on suspicion" is a pretty low percentage of incidents for a 2 million or so strong protest. That to me sounds like pretty good evidence that it's largely very peaceful.
The first part is consensus. The most supported one maintains the original name. The second part is support and use. Even though other forks have a cost, does not mean they are legitimate. I'm not sure if you've heard of Craig Wright, Calvin Ayre, and Roger Ver, but they are majority holders of these forks and control supply and therefore price. I will not go into a huge lengthy discussion about this here, if you Google this there are others that can provide more information and explain this much better than me.
I wonder how much salary increase it would take to make working with xml/spring worth someone's while.

Meh.. in my opinion a lot of this is just tropes. Spring is a fine environment to work in, although you really don't have to use any XML with modern Spring. But you can if you prefer to for some reason.

All the annotation driven "black magic" can be mildly annoying at times, especially before you understand what's going on under the hood... but considering the amount of boiler-plate crap it saves you from dealing with, I'll happily accept that tradeoff.

For my money, if I was starting a new backend service today, I'd absolutely reach for Spring Boot as my starting point. Of course, I may be biased given that I've been writing Java code for 20 years, and I remember what a breath of fresh air Spring was compared to the old EJB 2.x era "J2EE" stuff.
The easiest thing to do is rely on friends in certain industries. They'll be able to give you an in depth overview of the field as well as introduce you to other people who work in it.
Qubes OS has an interesting way of combatting these kinds of attacks. You can manually attach a usb drive to a specific program VM, limiting the damage possible by a malicious flash drive.

I want to say it even lets you disable or whitelist usb keyboards/mice entirely but I’m not 100% certain.

QubesOS is pretty different from other OSes though, I wish those sorts of device isolation were possible or more easily accomplished in other operating systems.
That sounds like a rounding error in comparison to the value of cargo being hauled. I would have expected significantly more.
> What the company did to catch Google was to watermark lyrics with the help of apostrophes. By alternating between straight and curly single-quote marks in exactly the same sequence for every song. When turned into dots and dashes, the apostrophes spell the words Red Handed, which is a smart trick.

Smart!
What would your bar for success be? I was merely responding in a way that met the parents comments.
What you're speculating is well-documented researchers, and painfully obvious to certain folks of colloquial familiarity with the growth of Internet culture. The best "crash course" I can offer you are two PDFs of research on the subject.

Not only do these forums radicalize participants to violent extremism, their ideology proliferates into, and influences mainstream media, which in turn begins to draw mainstream audiences towards radical violence.[1] This shift in public discourse could have devastating consequences for peace and the stability of our society. There are no more serious threats to civilization, in my estimation.

It's important, also, to remember that these are deliberately amplified propaganda campaigns, not "organic" or popular reactionism.

This radicalization is bought and paid for.[2]

> influencers have effectively propagandized to viewers and helped radicalize young people (and normalize bigoted ideas) in the process. In this ecosystem, a range of mainstream conservative and libertarian influencers, self-help gurus, and gaming streamers can ultimately act as gateways to more extremist content.

The Lightning to analog headphone adapter is $10, and IIRC, I had a USB port in my 2002 Acura RSX in a $200 third-party head unit anyway. But, pretending everything Apple makes is a kajillion billion dollars and incompatible with everything is sure a lot more fun!
yes: you're thinking of a "edge-weighted graph". And extending the tensor product to preserve probabilities is straightforward - you can just multiply the weights of each original pair of edges to get the weight of the edge in the tensor product graph.
> A pointer to each of those strings would mean you could simply modify them

You can just use a bytearray if you want a mutable string.
For readers of English, there's not that much left: SCMP (bought by Alibaba recently), and the free (ad-financed) The Standard.

Can you elaborate on Grundy's agenda? Anything beyond pro-democracy, civil liberties, etc.?
The original license from Bell Labs for Unix wasn't BSD/MIT, but it had essentially the same effect (and in fact, BSD is a down-stream license of it): you could get the source code for Unix and do anything you wanted with it.

Most people started with the BSD distribution (because networking), many later incorporated System V things from Bell. They then added their own changes and released the result under their own proprietary license. "They" being Sun Microsystems, IBM, HP, Silicon Graphics, and a host of smaller organizations including NeXT. Each of these had some really neat feature, like IBM's Journaled File System, SiliG's graphics, and Sun's hardware and the fact that they hired Berkeley's CSRG people. But they were all as incompatible as they could be made to be and still be Unixy. They were also business rivals and fought each other constantly. (I was part of IBM's effort with the "Open Software Foundation"'s DCE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Computing_Environm...), which attempted to fight off Sun's lead with NFS.) This was at a time when Microsoft was pushing Windows on smaller machines and those smaller machines were getting powerful enough to be a threat in the Unix "workstation" market. As a result, Microsoft won the Unix wars.

Linux, in contrast, is under the GPL, as are most of its basic user-space programs. You can modify the code to add some feature, but you have to distribute the changes if you distribute the whole thing. As a result, your feature gets incorporated into the mainline kernel, or you fork Linux. Forked Linuxes don't get a lot of traction, though, in part because nobody has a serious hardware advantage, but mostly because the mainline quickly grows a corresponding feature. It's very hard to lock your customers in to your own distribution.

An app like VLC for iOs isn't appropriate for my two year old because it's too complicated and doesn't follow all the parental controls, but that's really not the point anyway. The point is that millions of people still use Apple's apps to watch video, and they made that process worse.
Somewhat interesting read regarding your approach to developing the UI, but I can't provide much feedback without at least seeing a demo of the tool in action.

You're right, there is a gap in the market for a web-based, Figma style animation editor. I myself went with Tumult Hype (MacOS), as it was the closest equivalent to Adobe Flash-style rapid prototyping that I'm used to. But there isn't much online chatter about web animation in general. I guess everyone has simply moved to Adobe AE+Lottie, SVG+GSAP or the like.

If you decide to build a public-facing version of this, I hope you'll include a flat fee option instead of the monthly subscription BS all the startups are going with (Haiku Animator being one of many). Tumult Hype has a $100 flat fee price, which I love.
It's joke explaining to a broader audience. Tell a joke that's too subtle, only a few find it funny. Call attention to it and more will understand, but those who found it funny as subtle, no longer will.

I think it's bad style. You don't lose anything by people missing your joke. But you risk being viewed as vain and unfunny by cueing people to laugh whenever you think you're clever.
Will it be in any crypto exchanges, e.g. coinbase, binance?

Here's the way interviewing used to work: You got a pile of resumes. You picked the ones that looked the best. You called them and asked them some questions. The two or three best of those, you asked to come in for an in-person interview.

Note how symmetric the time is. When you do a phone interview, they're on the phone and you're on the phone. It costs you as much time as it does them. When you invite them in for an interview, it costs you time to interview them, and it costs them time to be there. So you have an incentive not to waste the time of people you're not going to hire, because it also wastes your time.

But with a code assignment, you can ask 100 people to each do 2-4 hours, while you just compile their results and run some test data at it. It takes them hours, and you minutes.

When you ask me to come in for an interview, I know that you're serious about me before I commit to that kind of time. You're serious enough for you to commit that kind of time. But with a code assignment, how serious are you about me? Are you giving the assignment to 100 people to fill one position? I have no way of knowing.

So the problem here is that, if you call me in for an interview, I expect that I am one of a small number of people. I expect that I have at least a 30% chance of landing the job. If you ask me to do an assignment as the first step, I don't think that. I think this is your first screening step, and therefore that I've got more like a 1% chance of landing the job. Now, maybe you don't operate that way, and my expectations don't match your statistics. (On the other hand, a real jerk of a company might lie about their statistics...)

So that's why I say that it's abusive. If you ask me to spend 4 hours for a 30% chance at a job, I'll accept that. If you ask me to spend 4 hours for a 1% chance at landing a job, get lost. I don't have time to jump through your hoops.
> While I had a PIN associated with my SIM, I still do not know how the thief was able to get past this the first time, I changed this PIN on the call.

If he's really talking about the SIM PIN, I don't think having one helps against this kind of attack. The SIM PIN is to prevent people in possession of your physical SIM from using your cellular account for voice or data.

What you need with T-Mobile is a separate PIN that is required for porting out your number [1]. You set this PIN up by calling support.

a thousand times this.

A year or two ago I considered buying another car after I had a fedex semi hit me (turning left from a stop, not dangerous). I drive a 2004 corolla and love toyota, but the guy looked at me like I had grown frog legs when I asked if they had any models without the touchscreen.

It was actually a major decision in me keeping my vehicle. I do NOT like the touchscreen, to me it's a complete no-brainer that it's more dangerous. I sure as shit don't want to be clicking through crap while driving.

When I was in HS I had a friend whose family had a couple of toyota vehicles. One of them was a small orange truck from the 70's I think. That thing looked like absolute crap, but ran beautifully. The only thing that finally killed that vehicle was their son going around a curve too quickly in the rain and rolling it. It's why I decided to buy toyota and I'm 100% happy with it.

But this touchscreen issue is a big enough issue in my mind that I may start researching Mazda. I seriously do not want a damned touchscreen in my car.
Nestlé signed a deal with them at the beginning of April, according to TheKingOfBelAir's comment above, which would lead me to believe they were at least involved with the study.

I'm with you... Also, with theme context(s) it's easy enough to re-use theme values while keeping actual component styling with the component and in isolation... you remove a component, and the styling goes with it.

I've found it much easier to not have left over or unused cruft with component styling JSS/StyledComponents etc.
There's also Android Auto, which is the near-exact equivalent for Android phones. A head unit can run both.
