Some of these seem more alarming than others. Where are each of these pulled from? If you have a Microsoft account they already have your name and address. Most people use Chrome and I assume Windows isn't sending that info to Microsoft (although this does make me worry for those who use IE/Edge). Searches and application usage I haven't heard explicitly but those would worry me more.

> Microsoft also keeps a copy of your full-disk encryption key.

Wasn't this only when you had a Microsoft account or something? We can debate how they shove MSAs down users' throat (I want to punch my computer when they do that too), but as far as the FDE key is concerned, I feel like those who don't want this also wouldn't want to use a Microsoft account for their logins to begin with?

Kinda all you need to know about the state of CSS in 2019: the menu’s bottom items cannot be accessed on mobile Safari. Also: the scrolling is awkward/broken.
I'm a tech guy, and a car guy. I love cars. Keep the "features" the hell away from my cars. I don't want to sit about in a mobile cinema. I want a car I can drive.

The big touch-screen is a reason why I would not buy a Tesla. The reasons to buy one are economy and performance. Hell, the Prius might have actually been a decent car if it didn't look like a shoe, sound like an overburdened vacuum cleaner, and handle like a beluga whale.

Makes sense for Mazda - they already disable the touchscreen while the car is in motion, so might as well save a few bucks and get rid of it entirely.
Not any worse if you don't mind wading through fanfold pages of code containing mostly doc comments, more blank lines than code and pseudo-Java verbosity. No thanks, I'll take Ruby or Python any day of the week.

I have a 2014 Toyota Auris, and while on service I got to try the new 2019 model.

All interior controls were touchscreen and impossible to use while driving. Worthless gimmickry.

Definitely didn’t tempt me to get a newer model. I’ll keep my 2014 with its buttons and dials until auto-designers regain there senses again.
I've only listened to this one, but...

1) You sound very anxious and/or nervous. Which is normal, interviewing isn't fun and can be stressful, but it does not come across great. See if you can relax a bit?

2) "Why do you want to work here?" is one of the most softball questions you can get in a phone screen... they want to know that you've done 5 minutes of research about the company, their tech stack, their values, basically anything. It doesn't have to be your dream job but you have to sound like you're somewhat familiar with what they do and at least partially interested in being a part of it.

"I don't actually know what your company does, sorry, I just sent my resume out to a bunch of places" is about the worst answer you can give here. Why would a company want to hire someone who doesn't know anything about the company and doesn't even pretend to care?
You know it's funny, I was watching horrible bosses last night, and was thinking just this. Some fairly blatant product placement for a major car manufacturer.

It didn't spoil the movie though, and in fact the bare-facedness of it even added some humour (-:

I don't think product placement is soooo bad. It's up to you if you're making a movie to make it fit. If you don't it detracts from the quality of your movie which to me seems a good enough motivator to get it right.

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that it is non-controversial that Catalunya or Kosovo can secede and then using that to argue that it is non-controversial that Texas can secede?
Depends on my place of work. At the main office, I do have an external monitor, but if I'm at a customer's site, I use the laptop screen only. I prefer an external monitor though (if only for posture).
I understand, and I used to be in the sinatra camp a decade ago. What I really disliked with spring/tapestry and rails was the (at the time) huge stack trace and memory usage.

The annotations I used were "this is a spring boot application" on top of a class and another which says "this is a rest controller" to start your hello world application and we only saved a few lines and introduced additional hidden complexity with sparkjava because we still don't have a way to handle json whereas it comes free with spring boot.

You've got another one that says "this is an injectable service" and another which says "this is a db entity" and with the "this is a configuration" you've got 99% of spring boot applications covered. Not sure what is so hard about the annotations. Maybe it has to do with "knowing more than just java/kotlin syntax" that puts people off?

IANAL but it would go something like this: Twitch has IP addresses of the trolls, but no way to tell their real identity. So they file the lawsuit and then use it to subpoena the ISPs assigned those IP addresses to get their client information.
There is a genuine fear of social disintegration if democracy were implemented in the mainland. Unfortunately, since Tian'anmen Square, the CPC has lacked leaders with the wisdom and guts to experiment with political reform and so now, HK's 1C2S is a threat that needs to be fire-walled off instead of an opportunity.

In terms of political culture, I don't think either side really understands the other.

Really, everything I watch on the TV is fed to it by another device. I don't need or want a smart TV. I just need it to display the picture. It does seem like one could look into just using a plain monitor for this, since that's all you need now.
PHP is responsible for the commoditisation of developers. PHP salaries and contract rates are 20% less than for Ruby, Python and Node.js here in the UK. The demands of the job are just the same, ie. Laravel = Rails = Django, but companies assume they can get good developers 20% cheaper just because they use PHP. That's gotta be the main reason to stop using and promoting PHP.
I totally agree, which is why I think any screen is a bad idea. That ship has sailed though and we have millions of cars with screens, so it's still worthwhile to keep repeating that it's ridiculous to use the screen in motion, even if that's what it was designed for.

The Orion control panel looks like it would be much easier to use in a heavily vibrating, high-G rocket. It's a lot harder to fat-finger a tactile, physical button/switch than a touchscreen. Notice that the switches even have cages so that they can't get accidentally toggled.

To find the relationships and entity IDs, you can type the prefix like "wdt:" or "wd:" then type something in English and hit Ctrl-Space. For instance, wd:nuclear<Ctrl-Space>. Alternatively you can search on wikidata.org.

Nice takes me back to when I worked for Prestel / Telecom gold in the UK and was one of the thirdline unofficial Amiga support team - we got asked when the actual help desk got stuck.

I'm not a lawyer and only did a bit of research in this topic, but I found out about things like "baby boxes" that allow mothers to relinquish newborns anonymously.

On the other hand, this US website [1] suggests that fathers do have a right to assume the father figure (so you're right), although their rights are still lesser than a mother's ("Most states require a birth father to provide financial support to the pregnant mother, and failure to do so may result in the birth father being unable to stop an adoption.").

Although I wonder if in the case where the father assumes custody, the mother (who wanted to give up the child for abortion) would be required to pay child support or not (the website suggests "no", but isn't very explicit on this topic).

Austria-Hungary was not a state with a functional and loyal military in 1919. The reason why Wilson's Doctrine applied to it was that there were French, Romanian, Italian, and Serbian troops occupying parts of its territory.
If we're using our time machines to fix C, can we make a special type that's identical to unsigned int but can use all the bit-wise operators, requiring an explicit conversion operators between regular int and bitwise int.

bitwise x = 0x1234;
x |= 0x1000;

(0x indicates a bitwise value.)
'If' expects a condition so finding an assignment may be a red flag even if an assignment has a return value in the spec, which makes the construct valid.

On the other hand ^ expects integers so 2^32 is exactly what is expected.

Most the replies I saw here try to second-guess or claim that ^ should be used in a specific way. Not so, ^ is just doing XOR of two integers.

Apparently, I am having an incorrect opinion, though, so I will self-censor and remain silent.

Same age as JavaScript and Python is 5 years older still. I hear a lot more about these 2 languages. There must be more to it than simply age.
A human paying attention assisted by a computer paying attention is always going to be safer than either separately. It's just that a mostly self-driving system erodes human attentiveness.

And we're not going to get to a system that's so much safer as to render human attention irrelevant without a much more solid and theoretically sound approach to safety engineering.
Well I do agree, it's definitely not a great solution either. I am not sure there is one that involves the screen at all.

Media buttons on the steering wheel were peak car usability. What is there really to be looking at other than the road while you drive? A map at best, but we can do better there too. A HUD of upcoming turns projected onto the glass for example. We had HUDs in cars in 1989 (Nissan Silvia) and some modern cars are bringing it back. I think that's the perfect blend of usability without compromising safety.
My take is that for those who are trying to be as pedantic as using -Werror flags would have a lot of fun putting up pragmas to remove the the false positive.

If half the effort put into shitting on CSS went instead to improving it, maybe it would be perfect by now. The requirements of CSS as a language are insanely complicated - open source, implemented by different browsers, on all different devices, for applications doing a huge variety of things, working with 20 years of legacy code. I defy anyone to explain how they would do it better and still satisfy all the constraints.

I zeroed on murder rates to bring home the point that higher rates of really serious crime, not just drug related that some think is trivial, is a relatively larger problem in the African American community than average. Some falsely believe that African Americans are incarcerated at a higher rate purely because of marijuana, minor drug possession, or re-arrests in prison. Only a small fraction of the African American community is actually incarcerated. However, it's still at a much higher rate than normal. It's not slavery. So me bringing up my family is to demonstrate that not all African American families struggle w/incarceration. Context.

And I'm not a fan or private prisons. So we agree on that. Profit motive pre-dates capitalism. Arab slave traders in the 18th century weren't capitalist by any stretch. 16th century BC slavery in North Africa Egypt had nothing to do with capitalism. So you're confusing profit seeking, which has always existed, with capitalism.

The fact is that slavery was mainstream for thousands of years before Southern Democrat slavery. It's not a coincidence that within 70 years of the invention of the Eli Whitney cotton gin that slavery ended in the West all together. Cotton production multiplied. Capitalism ended slavery in the West, with the Civil War serving as the nail in the coffin. Furthermore, slavery was only a real big thing because of agrarianism before mechanization. Capitalism mechanized (e.g. cotton gin) the world in the industrial revolution.

And if you care about slavery, you may want to direct your attention to Libya were there are actual African slave auctions. Or if you care about unjust incarceration, I'd direct criticism at China for imprisoning large swaths of their Muslim population for simply being Muslim.

The fact is that African Americans are the wealthiest of African descendants per capita among any nation. And there are more millionaires of African descent in the United States than anywhere else. There are much higher rates of African American incarceration because they commit that much more crime. The reasons are not genetic but because of social policy that has resulted in 70% rates of single-parent homes in the African American community. FYI my African American half of the relatives are mostly married families. And none are in prison. Context.

It’s indeed a lot more likely that LyricFind, from whom Google buys the content, scrapes the lyrics.

Why risk showing stolen content when you are already paying for them?

I understand that Genius focuses on Google though. That makes the story a lot more interesting for publications like WSJ that have a bit of a anti-Google campaign going on.
Also insane is that there is no “disconnect and forget” option for the WiFi on these TVs. The only method I’ve found that works is to trick the TV into joining a different network and then turning off that other network.
> I work on one of the densest power grids in the world (NYC) on the team which does emergency transformer replacements and can possibly answer questions about this. From failure to in service for a single transformer in Manhattan is down to 2-3 weeks. That includes design and engineering (my part), permitting, and construction.

Interesting. I had always wondered how utilities interact with local permitting. I had assumed they would work something out to have standardized permits for common work which they could leverage during incidents but that seems that's not the case.
OBS could make a lot of money by offering a few premium features for an annual donation. Something like a more advanced banner editor, or an animation engine.

We already saw what s 5% Smartphone sales decline / missing target look like in 2018, with rapid price collapse in NAND and DRAM. Trade War wasn't really the main issue.

The Smartphone market has reached near saturation with 80%+ of adult in developed countries already owning a smartphone. There will be a long tail to reach 90%+. Replacement circle has also stretched to beyond 3 years. My 6s as a work usage mobile is doing great, if you don't game on it the only thing I could complain about is the Camera. ( I wish Apple still has an iPhones that is under $400, instead they keep pushing up the prices to increase ASP. ) And my 6s, when in use still feels way faster than many Phones being sold today. [1]

5% of 1.2B Smartphone is 60M Unit, and if we see another decline again this year, we are looking at 100M+ unit missing from the peak. That is going to have a widespread effect on the industry, especially when Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, each with 200M+ unit year ( Roughly 50% of the market )can invest into their own Silicon ( Such as Modem, SoC, Power, etc ), there will be a even smaller market for the rest of the players.

We have already seen peak Smartphone, and Winter is coming.

>We’ll see if the 2019 announcement season will be more exciting.
I can bet it will be a boring year. Other than possibly the biggest leap in Camera quality since iPhone 6s to iPhone 7.
