We conduct it as a working session. Our primary goals are to determine ability to reason about problems, apply the proper technique (not syntax), the ability to communicate with us about what they are doing clearly and to get a sense of how they work during the planning phase of a project. We are looking for a connection with the prospect more than a complete technical solution.
> Do you have choice when it comes to how stuff you buy is transported to you?

You can definitely choose how stuff is transported to you. One example is to purchase more locally sourced / produced goods.
That is the point. The people of Hong Kong are marching to protest China's new extradition policy.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2019/06/16/hong-kong-protes...

China Daily is trying to almost completely misrepresent the reason for the protests. The only way they could make it more "opposite day" is by calling the protest a celebration festival for the love of Chinese authority in Hong Kong.

The funny thing about the misrepresentation is that the U.S. isn't really even meddling. We care our trade deficit with China and tariffs than human rights abuses in China.
That might be reasonable. It also makes the scam OP is guessing happened a pretty good criminal scam, since the police will refuse to investigate it...

I mean, what possible additional evidence could one plausibly have that the guessed scam is indeed what happened?

Which is the scary thing about all these SIM-theft things. It clear happened, there's really no way for the victim to know how/where/what/when/who.
OSM and Mozilla both allow to contribute easily to such databases.
So WSL2 would use a lightweight VM running a Linux kernel to avoid the slow windows I/O.
I totally agree. I recall the Blackberry with jog-wheel (non-touch screen), worked great, could scroll at a speed I liked, easy, one handed navigation of email, joy. Then they dropped that for the mini trackball, which they introduced with the pearl (a break into a consumer market). This was a mistake IMHO, and from a business users perspective, they sacrificed business users reaching for a consumer market that the likes of Apple did better.

Their again, many examples of not the best design happening as the consensus of public know how to use it. QWERTY keyboard layouts being classic example.

Then consoles and the mouse+keyboard combo over a game-controller pad. For FPS, mouse wins for ease of control still for me.

But the big takeaway for me about physical buttons over virtual touch-screen ones is the ability to leverage muscle memory. With physical buttons, you know were they are, how they feel and can do that without looking. Bit like sending a text from a nokia phone whilst it's in your coat pocket. Try doing that with a touch-screen based phone. Whilst not an everyday use, it does highlight the advantages of buttons in some uses.

Now, there is work ongoing in haptic feedback and some impressive work in the field of using ultrasound to create virtual surfaces you can feel. Which for many I'm sure will be great, but then the whole KISS design philosophy has somewhat taken a backseat in the name of features. But then, features are what sells many tech items today as they are still evolving. But there will always be people who prefer actual buttons. More so if you have ever been in a lift with a touch screen instead of buttons, which is something not to be sneezed at, literally unless you want to visit extra floors.
Do they know there are protests?
I think you're being far, far too critical. It's a "short form" article, "4 min read" which really means under 1 minute.

The headline is "rattles global chip sector" and they very quickly get to "8.6% drop" in share price.

It's quite clear, without knowing total revenue, that the $2B means quite a lot to Broadcom.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually had the total revenue number in there and it got cut in editing. This isn't the economist, it's reuters.
> Playing around with Slackware Linux in the early 90s definitely gave the feeling of being part of something big.

Slackware in the late 90s is what got me hooked on Linux and computing in general, along with building my own AMD Sempron (i.e. inexpensive) machine from a bunch of mostly random parts I'd buy off Craigslist.

At one point in time, I knew what every single file in 'etc' was for, what every single process was, and every single listening port.

I feel bad for the younger kids learning Linux in 2019 with Centos or Ubuntu. The systems are so much more complicated, it's difficult to understand how everything is put together. Might as well be a black box like Windows or Mac.

It continues to be as it always was - a small group of people interested in how something worked - same with car enthusiasts - just because it's ubiquitous doesn't mean people care to know about it. I don't think that small group has changed. Their interest was the special ingredient.

And if the officer puts down a regular cone and the driver is texting and doesn't see it? Like, yes this would require changes to how we do things. Police officers will have to be careful to use the new style cones correctly. Is this any different than when they first started having use cones/flares? There is a price for every technology. I mean one of the alternatives is that we rely on the LIDAR being so good as to not hit the car and the officer standing next to it because it recognizes that situation. Which it will. Most of the time. Until it doesn't. Seems to be that having the transceiver and LIDAR backup is better than fancy expensive LIDAR.
Touch screens are so good as UI in cars they decided to put them in the next gen F1 steering wheel.

Oh wait... they actually didn't!

Mazda's decision is very good: Any UI where you need to detour your attention from driving to changing car status is missing the point of its existence.
Oh yeah, that should be easy.
Before I clicked on that link I was worried it was another one about how we should be the ones in action to cool down the planet, but I'm glad to see that it talks down on doing that, and also stays neutral.

"Polluting", meaning adding non-existing gas to the air, to combat pollution seems completely off to me. In so many cases, people talk about how a simple action can solve problems and yet so many times, people underestimate the complexity of the situation.

Tax laws have to be a great example of this, where changes leave loopholes and people are smart enough to get around them. I'm sure people won't like that comparison, but it almost seems like the atmosphere is more complex than tax laws, and simple solutions wouldn't work there either.

I don't know where these stories come from, or how much the media is taking studies and framing them in their own way, but I can't see how spraying sulfur dioxide to artificially cool the planet is in any way a good idea.

How to Trade Off Server Utilization and Tail Latency
To be clear though, unless Box does actually offer a finer-tuned 'write to specific dir' access control, that's not nosey Google's fault.
Because adblockers depend on things coming from 3rd party ad servers doing instant auctions for ads based on user profiles. They do it client side because the latencies involved vs doing it server side are far less.

With non-surveliance based ads, they can make the ads completely indistinguishable from normal content in their CMS and make it look like first party content and server side based. And since the user info will be minimal beyond an IP, it will mostly be content based vs. user based. They can even do things like podcasts & youtubes videos do with sponsorships that come with the content.

They don't do it because it doesn't make as much money as the current status quo and would require more work to integrate if it was offered.
> 99% of uses can be trivially replaced by plain text, Markdown, or Org.

For organizing content, yes. For communicating with others, no. For example, we are using Word documents on the edge, when communicating externally. We cannot expect them to access our internal wiki, and neither we want them to.

> If you're at a point where it feels appropriate to use vendor-specific spreadsheet features then you have already outgrown by far spreadsheets. It's probably both simpler and more maintainable to decouple your data from your code by using a database (even SQLite, if you still want to pass files around) and/or a scripting language instead.

Sure, if you have the budget to do it right. The excel-based solutions are often done so, because everyone has excel anyway, and the one coming with that has no budget or buy-in to procure the server-based solution.

You can print out a copy of the barcode and keep it somewhere safe. It's a little bit scary as that barcode is a super powerful extra key but, you will have a key that will work and not be reliant on any device to store it.

I feel like I'm in the perfect position to comment on this. I drive a 2019 Tesla Model 3 and my girlfriend drives a 2018 Mazda CX-3. The display on the Model 3 is perfectly positioned so I don't have to lean forward and do not apply any torque to my steering wheel whatsoever to adjust the settings on the huge 15" capacitive touch screen. I also don't have to migrate my eyes any further from the road than I would to find a physical button on a dashboard due to the close, raised position of the Model 3's display and I can see perfectly fine out the windshield while adjusting everything on the display. The buttons are also larger with a 15" display compared to the tiny 7" display which is located very far away on the dashboard of the CX-3. The position and size of the display on the Mazda has the side effect of me rarely even attempting to use the touch features of the display, but when I do I have to lean forward which may cause me to apply slight torque to the wheel.

Based on my experience, Mazda needs a larger display located closer to the driver if they want to make use of touch controls without the side effects they mention. The wheel method is horribly clunky and takes more thinking to get to the control you want to adjust. It's much faster and safer I believe being able to access the control quickly and in a position that doesn't require you to take your eyes far away from the road. You still have to look at the display and process your control movements when using the dial control on the Mazda and it takes longer. Tesla has a better UI by far. If you haven't driven a Model 3 yet, I recommend doing so before commenting against touch screen UX.

There are raspberries and pomegranates on the market, yes.
> Why waste money on support for them?

On the other hand, a paid edge case support option for otherwise free services would be a win for both sides. If only the long term projection of the resulting incentives would not be so ugly...
> But assuming they did work on physical inches, they still wouldn't capture how close the device was going to be to your face

At least the inch is a unit whose physical size, by the name, you could assume to not change when screen resolution changes. And also, DPI (or just the physical monitor size) is usually something the user can configure in the operating system - to account for viewing distance or personal preferences.
I dont think anyone with such possibility would put it to vote. They would just do it because they can.
It is. Car conversations are a serious issue with respect to distracted driving. I personally can't handle thinking about driving safely and thinking about a conversation. Humans are famously bad at multi-tasking and I don't see how being in a car gives us magical powers.

> Effective politicians tend to create public sentiment and then find evidence

It's really stunning when you consider that blowing a trillion dollars on a new fighter jet needed essentially zero popular support, but funding education is somehow so loony that it requires a solid political majority to even think about.
The same thing that people in areas far away from protests typically think about protests. Unless you are personally involved, or know someone who is personally invested, what you read in the news has a big influence on your opinion.

Domestically, OWS may have been a big deal on both of the left coasts, but in the middle of the country, people thought it was a bunch of lazy entitled liberal children asking for free handouts.

I think twitter is a few thousand total employees, a fraction of that is engineers.

And a good chunk of it is maintaining & improving a large throughput backend system that is one of the top 10 in the world in terms of size and data volume.

And on top of that, an even smaller fraction is the people who think of and implement new front end things that you would interact with and think of the app changing. Like a lot of companies, it's probably a 10:1 ratio as far as backend:frontend people there are at the company.

As to why twitter changes so little, the company itself doesn't really understand why it's successful, so there is a lot of conservatism inside of it to not screw with the golden goose.
I really wish they succeed. It takes 3 to 5 business days to transfer money using ACH in the US if you don't want to shell out 25$ for wire transfer. Transferring money is just about transferring a few bytes of data. Why does it take 3 business days? Why are customers still forced to shell out 25$ for instant transfers?

SIM cards themselves can have a PIN attached to them too, usually with a lockout after 3 unsuccessful attempts. The card is supposed to be secure against tampering, but since it's running an OS which receives very little scrutiny and runs lots of legacy tech, there are likely all kinds of exploits to reset / root the SIM and bypass any PIN protection. It's still useful against casual theft though.
Perhaps they're onto something here. Clickbait in the service of security? The black hats are already using the darker side of mass Internet behavior. "Secure your computer with this one weird trick!"

How is it inferior to Ecash? FB's coin is not meant to provide anonymity features like Ecash did, but that's just a design choice. Other than that, Ecash is often suspected to have died due to the lack of reach and partnerships, which is not something FB lacks.

So far, FB's coin looks very interesting.

Whether you consider it legitimate or not, Bitcoin Cash has about 4% of the value of BTC.

Here’s my point. Is it theoretically possible for some group of people in the physical world to take actions so that what we generally call Bitcoin has 1 more coin? I strongly believe yes. So the world isn’t as black and white as some people like to say it is.

>Mathematics treats of the relations of all sorts of things considered as quantities, namely, as equal to, or greater or less than, one another.

This was not actually true when this book was written: Euler's formula was discovered in 1748, which I would consider evidence that complex numbers were broadly "around" at least a century before 1898. Complex numbers are not ordered, (for example, is 1 less than or greater than i?), so this claim about math isn't right.
