I don't really understand the reasoning so many people here have behind shutting down 8chan. Twitter, Facebook, and many other mainstream websites are replete with mass murderers. The response presumably will be that those sites are also replete with non-mass murderers - I agree! So is 8chan. Then the response presumably will be that the vast majority of 8chan users aren't mass murderers, but the site doesn't have a legitimate purpose like Facebook and Twitter and is "a breeding ground for hate".

Now we're in the business of deciding whether a site has a legitimate purpose because potentially (and I haven't seen any data on this - it sounds true, but would be nice to have before making these big assumptions) an outsized proportion of its users discuss controversial subjects. So, okay, private companies don't have to associate with 8chan...now we're seeing supporters of 8chan creating their own companies and services and choosing to associate with them, who inevitably are accused of creating "havens for online extremism" and hate and often are cut off from payment processors, banks, and other essential services a company needs to get by. I wonder - when this "just build your own website/hosting company/payment processor/undersea cable" free market treadmill reaches its logical conclusion, if people somehow do manage to build their own banks and undersea cables and whatever, won't they all be accused of the same thing and face some fresh shutdown attempt?

Let's just be honest, many of you don't like the content of their speech and want it gone. I would rather have an honest debate about whether free speech should exist or not rather than these ancillary discussions that don't really have much to do with the true intentions at play.
Limited by the chip that reads the data off the sensor - ASIC of FPGA. Or maybe by the sensor design itself.
Payments can be reduced to packets, for one.
Handset itself. Though blacklists can exist too (depends on country and product).

For some older phones, you could download a keygen because the algo has been cracked.

But, for Apple, I understand all unlocks go through Apple HQ via the provider. Hence the need to malware the provider.

My guess is that the tech for locking is pretty good. It’s probably a prerequisite for these providers to sell your device.

Possibly with some penalty if the manufacturer can’t keep its lock robust.

Yes, and what happens when 1 area does not have available water, another does, and the area with water does not want to share?
1% cashback on most purchases. 2% at Costco (requires membership). 3% at restaurants and pre-selected travel related purchases. 4% on gas. Requires Costco membership to redeem cashback.

In my opinion most people are better off with Fidelity's flat 2% card on all purchases ("Rewards Visa Signature Card"). No annual fees.
Taking your comment seriously:

People have done the math on the heat directly released by burning fossil fuels, and it isn't that high.

What CO2 does is keep more of the SUN'S heat on Earth. And that turns out to be a much more important contribution to the temperature of the Earth than the heat directly released by burning fossil fuels.

Current CO2 levels are a full 50% higher than they were 80 years ago or so, and that makes a big, big difference.

Sorry to be that guy, but fullstory, google tagmanager, and hotjar all on the same page, without any indication to the user that their every move is being tracked. This site is not too GDPR compatible.

Also, I'm working on something similar, but from a different perspective. My problem with this is that you have to design your website in Sketch, then turn it into code with a different service potentially waiting hours until you'll see the end result.

So my idea is that I can build an app where you can basically draw the page elements, similarly to how you'd do it in Sketch, and it automagically turns the whole thing into a responsive website right away (no position:absolute hacks involved). I still have a lot to do though... :D

It's possible that some executive wanted to cover it up to avoid the embarrassment of having this happen on their watch. If they press charges, the matter becomes public (both inside and outside the company). If they let the perpetrators walk, nobody finds out (or so they might have thought).
Funny, I grew up in Central Oregon and my friends and I (who are from there) always call it "the CO" and many other people assume that we mean Colorado.
1. Separate submissions karma and comments karma. It's very easy to accumulate a lot of karma by submitting an article on some hot topic. This karma should be a lot less valuable than karma earned through writing high quality comments.

2. Limited number of upvotes/downvotes, or downvotes substracting your own karma (perhaps not 1:1).

3. Mandatory justifications for downvotes (e.g. choose from dropdown menu), with this information publicly visible for each comment.
The problem with using another form of payment is I won't purchase from a small business online without PayPal. PayPal offers consumer protection so I can take a risk with a company I don't trust yet. if it goes bad I can file a complaint and it will almost always get resolved.

Yes, there is danger, however it's artificially manufactured danger. There's no reason why the process should be so awful. If phone locking does need to exist (it doesn't but that's besides the point), why is there still no webpages on manufacturers' or carriers' websites allowing me to quickly check whether a phone is locked based on its IMEI and whether it can be unlocked (so whether the previous account is in good standing and the device isn't stolen)?

I remember knowingly buying a locked iPad. Even figuring out the carrier it was locked to was difficult (why isn't that displayed on the system information screen or on the error when you use a different SIM?) and Apple were of no help either. I bought it because I knew this bullshit and decided to go through it anyway but it isn't a pleasant experience and shouldn't be considered normal.

There's also the issue of recycling and e-waste. You're telling me to buy new, which is fair but what about the countless locked devices that are perfectly functional and yet stuck in limbo because nobody can figure out how to unlock them (even if they are otherwise not stolen and the previous account was in good standing)? Should we just accept that these devices are essentially bricked and can go for scrap because it's not worth the trouble to unlock them?

You can shoot 960fps at 720p/1080p with some smartphones these days. If you decide to go that route, make sure to get one that doesn't interpolate the frames, but does true 960fps.
A lot of people using contactless in the UK are using debit cards not credit cards which lack (here at least) the strong fraud protections that credit cards do - which is one of the reasons I put my new computer on my partners card then transferred the money to her bank to bank to settle it, so the £30 limit without pin acts as a brake on a stolen card giving the person who lost it time to report it as lost.

It used to be £15 but well inflation is a thing.

Wow. Never thought about this approach to leveraging RAM for cameras. Awesome guide!

Can anybody chime in regarding the resolution limit (640x64) -- If this is for memory reasons, could we pick alternate values such as 200x200 as long as the total pixel count is the same?
As Apple is partnering with Morgan Stanley, I couldn't help but notice that the later's market capitalization is still lower than Apple's cash on hand: they could buy them in cash.

no "if". its worked for thousands of years. weak communities will die off. people will have something to live and fight for, humanity will get a renewed vigor, and the water crisis will fix itself.

100% agreed!

There is the attitude of "get over it" and follow the list - that does NOT work. What does work is exactly that - make the thing useful and people will actually love it. That means local adaption, ability to update and refine.

What works wonders is if you can introduce policy changes and improvements through the list. Ie, the list leads rather than follows and gets outdated.
The Apple Pay app will also generate a virtual card number for you, so you can use it over the internet as a mastercard.

Unclear if the virtual card number rotates (it would be a huge value-add if it did).
Worth noting this is called MIN because it is implemented (and embeddable in) NIM. Oh and a better description than a LISP in RPN is that it is a functional concatenative language.
Funny you mention PINs. We did finally get chipped cards in the US, but it’s “chip and signature” so we’re missing some of the security improvements. Harder to skim at least?

Yes, I would like to see it sorted only by time and by what comment it is in reply to. Possibly I could try to use GreaseMonkey to reorder them by ID number, maybe. (Are the order of ID numbers the same as the order by time?)

However, I am not saying that it should be sorted only by time for everyone, but only by the user who has changed their account options to specify that as the default sort order.

> It is really astounding that someone can spend so much time logic chopping and fail to understand what I was actually saying.

Perhaps because I was interpreting it in the context of the comment you were replying to (mine).

Poverty is devastating. True...and not related at all to what I said. I didn't mention economics or finances AT ALL save to mention that my comments were true regardless of my financial background. So if your comment wasn't in relation to what I said...but it was. There's an implied connection that I gave a rebuttal to, and in the face of that rebuttal, you deny the connection. That implodes my rebuttal...but leaves your comment without contextual purpose.

> I was pointing out that life wasn't fair and there was poverty that you and I can't possibly fathom and it affected everyone no matter what the colour of their skin.

Another true statement. And also unrelated to what you were replying to, unless you were trying put in the implied connection.

> This lie of people having to be represented by someone of their own skin in a nonsense that is sold by activists to students to make them feel bad because of the colour of their skin

Citation needed - at this point you're denying misrepresentation of minorities in popular media, which is such a well-documented problem and so obviously observable that your unsupported assertions would be laughable if the issue wasn't related to tragedy. Also - I don't feel bad for the color of my skin. At all. (Except when I get a sunburn) I _do_ feel bad for supporting a system that is systemically unfair, but the solution to that is not to deny the problem, nor to assume a vast burden of guilt that you assume I (and others) have taken on. The solution is to improve the system. To modify my support.
As a former oil field worker and a former scientist, reading articles on fracking is always confusing. Most writers on this topic do not adequately distinguish between drilling, fracking, extraction, maintenance or cleanup. When comparing fracked wells to non fracked wells, all of these processes are very similar except for the fracking itself and the cleanup.

Given that fracking usually happens 10,000 feet underground, and far below any water table, direct effects on the surface are rare. It took 60 years of fracking before we even discovered that it could cause surface earthquake detectable by humans. And even then, the last I checked the number of noticeable earthquakes caused by fracking can be counted on both hands.

Wastewater injection is a known issue. In certain areas, waste water injection can cause earthquakes. In other areas, waste water injection is fine. It's a matter of geological particulars, and a blanket ban doesn't make sense.

With the exception of these two processes, a fracked well is very similar to a non fracked well. On the other hand, the following statement doesn't seem to recognize the similarities between fracked and non fracked wells:

>“There’s really definitive evidence now that methane leaks at every stage of the fracking process” from drilling to storage, she says. And that’s contributing to a surge in methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.

There's nothing in this statement, or in the surrounding context, that says this problem would be unique to fracked wells. Any well that emits methane (which is quite a few of them) would have the exact same issue. It appears that what organizations like Physicians for Social Responsibility and Concerned Health Professionals of New York (which doesn't seem terribly non partisan in the first place) are really concerned about is not fracking, but any hydrocarbon extraction.

The real issue at hand seems to be the expansion of oil wells into parts of the country that did not historically have that industry. Banning fracking may simply be the wrong approach. For example, as technology advances, non fracking methods may be discovered that would once again put oil wells in communities that don't want them. In addition, talking about fracked wells without comparing them against similar non fracked wells is sloppy science. Most of the research and white papers I've read on the topic do not adequately use traditional wells as controls, meaning it's impossible to tell if the deleterious health and environmental effects apply only to fracked wells or to every oil well.
UPS and some other drivers have variations on this (around scanning).

Which Nokia timeline are you talking about? The current Nokia HMD which outsources to China and was found to have Chinese botnet in them ?
"Yes, and what happens when 1 area does not have available water, another does, and the area with water does not want to share?"

That is a real problem - and should be addressed - but the physics and economics dictate that the sharing need be relatively local.

So I would agree that it is a governance issue, but it is not going to be a global governance issue.
>A contract was violated when these phones were unlocked.

Sounds like a civil matter to me.
So India just needs to pre-ask for "reverse-reverse-sanctions" from the US: Hey Mr States, we'll not use Huawei like you asked us, if you'll give us extra XXXX access to your country.
This is false. Experience churners can come up with cards that meet this, and beat it under some circumstances, but that's not "most" by any means.
My biggest frustration with global warming deniers has been that I understood the basics of global warming as a 6-7 year old, when I first read something about the greenhouse effect (it wasnt even in the context of global warming).

The only basic pieces of information you need to understand climate change are:

1) The greenhouse effect exists. That is, when you have something like glass, it will let energy in in the form of light, but it won't let as much energy escape once it's converted to heat. This concept can be grasped by anyone who has walked into a car that has been parked out in the sun. And by the massive clue in the name, that is the existence of greenhouses.

2) Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. That is, it acts like glass does in a greenhouse. This is harder to believe from first principles, but it's not that hard to believe. For me the clinching explanation (again, as a kid) was learning Venus was hotter than Mercury. And there is no reason to believe folks are lying about this, and I don't believe anyone is even contesting this.

3) Understanding how fossil fuels came into existence (basically, organic material trapped over centuries in the ground. again, the clue is in the name) and understanding the CO2 lifecycle, and how burning fossil fuels adds material to the CO2 lifecycle that was not there earlier. This isn't something that can be determined easily by a kid from 1st principles, but it's something that no one is really contesting either.

Once you accept these 3 fairly straightforward basic physics phenomena, global warming is inevitable.

The only questions are whether the release of CO2 is significant enough to have an impact, where we have to rely on measurements and scientists. But seeing that there was a fairly standard progression in how deniers would first deny global warming was ever happening, then deny that it was anthropogenic, then claim it wouldnt have as negative an impact, and now claim that well, it's too late...let's look at mitigation; I was able to filter them out when they were at step 1 itself.

Aside: I also want to point out the horrific misunderstanding people have about the terms "global warming" and "climate change" which are fairly self descriptive, but apparently is a nefarious effort to "hide the spike". Global Warming (i.e., more energy in the earth's ecosystem due to the greenhouse effect) leads to Climate Change (that is, changes in our climate behavior).

One is a cause, and the other is the effect. Both are valid and orthogonal concepts, and not some sort of conspiracy.
> Spectrum said it also offers a slower $15-a-month connection to eligible low-income families and seniors.

For what it's worth, the plan is called "Every Day Low Price Internet", and there's no formal eligibility requirements. Spectrum doesn't advertise the plan, but you can see it listed at: https://www.spectrum.com/browse/content/ratecard.html

For $15 per month, I get 3 mb down / 1 mb up. The price never changes, there's no hidden fee, no bundle crap etc.

Even as a heavy internet user, I'm very satisfied. It's plenty fast enough for general web browsing, and I let larger downloads run overnight. I can't stream videos above 720p, but I can just wait for them to download in the background with youtube-dl. I also have a script that autodownloads new Youtube videos while I sleep.

Fios is available in my apartment, but for $50 more per month, it's not worth it. If I wasn't in a rental apartment I would seriously consider NYC Mesh, but I'm not. (I'd also be a bit concerned about latency.)

---

Edit: Actually, looking at the rate card again, the article was likely referring to "Spectrum Internet Assist", which is still $15 a month but offers 30 down / 4 up—but with eligibility requirements: https://www.spectrum.com/browse/content/spectrum-internet-as...
I almost have goosebumps reading that passage. People's demand for (and right to) high living standards is truly a significant issue, but it's often framed in a way that derails anti-fossil fuel arguments. This reframes that, however, and offers a relevant critique of what "high living standards" is often assumed to imply.
Elsevier?
The card has no numbers on it so I wonder what they would do in the (admittedly very rare) case when the card network is down. Usually merchants can produce an ancient machine to take a copy of the card number (similar to what they would do before telephone based payment networks were a thing) when the payment network isn’t reachable. I don’t think that it’s a case that matters at all but I’m curious to know if it’s one that is considered.

I would have thought that all credit/debit cards had to have raised numbers in a certain place but perhaps Mastercard can make some exception for apple (or other banks never bothered to try to do something a bit different).
> RPis are notorious for having a poor lifespan due to reading/writing from the SD cards

How does the Raspberry Pi deteriorate from the interaction with the SD card?
It has the first class function objects, but not the lexical scoping.

Try entering this and storing it into a variable:

<< -> x << << x >> >> >>

If you run that object with something on the stack, you'll get this in return.

1: << x >>

That x is a local variable reference, which makes it different than if you just entered this

<< x >>

And if you evaluate it, it blows up with an error to that effect. (Since RPL doesn't really close over the lexical environment.)

Years ago, I wrote a Scheme-based derivative of RPL that fixed some of this and found it rather fun to play around with.

I believe the default action for Huawei for such block would actually be purposefully enact the ban on itself:

Stop all sales including spare parts, revoke signing keys, block IPs of cell towers and cloud control panels from that country, stop tech support, and look how soon they will change their musik
