Both NYMag and Vox claim/seek to license their CMS to third parties to offset the sunk costs they've dumped into developing them.

NYMag's is named "Clay" and counts golf.com and radio.com as customers: https://clay.nymag.com/

Vox's is called "Chorus" and they claim to have 350 sites but they don't care to name them: https://getchorus.voxmedia.com/

Both are getting absolutely creamed in the market by WaPo's ARC: https://www.arcpublishing.com/ (and of course Wordpress)

So it stands to reason that at least one of these two CMS's is going to eat the other. Most likely Chorus eating Clay, vox's set of properties and traffic is 6-8x larger than nymag's (by comscore uniques) so its less work to keep it.

Same here! I was making this before I saw the teaser announcement. Figured I'd wait until Friday before continuing work since it may obviate this entirely. :-)
The syntax is all about C compatibility. Objective-C (unlike C++) is a strict superset of C. Anything using bracket notation in Objective-C is using dynamic OO message-passing. Anything that reads like C syntax is plain-old C.

The closure syntax also relates to C compatibility. Because the Clang blocks extension isn't an extension to Objective-C, but to C. The syntax matches C's function pointer syntax, just replacing the * with ^. ^ was chosen because (A) it has no unary form in C, and (B) it can't be overloaded in C++.
Did you ever end up managing to hold to any?
" So what happens now if a man accuses a woman of "raping" him? I'm guessing that he'd be ignored. "

I do think there is currently a double standard, and I think that misogyny and the view of women as "passive" participants in sex contributes to that. The CDC estimates that 1 in 71 men will be raped in their lifetime, and an analysis by Scientific American found that 79 percent of male victims of rape reported it to police, but unfortunately I cannot find information on how many of those reports led to a trial and potentially a conviction.

I think that while some men are likely ignored, and we definitely have a problem with the way we imagine sexual assault as a society, the relatively high reporting rate suggests that many cases are also taken seriously.

I'm also not really sure what "strategy" you're referring to; a strategy to protect yourself from Title IX complaints? I really think that what rayiner said is all you need to do: "Don't take advantage of marginal situations; don't toe the line. Don't do anything you can't defend later."

That sounds unusual. Tape shouldn't degrade that easily. 115F is 46C, which is hot for a human and not a good temperature for long-term storage, but not anywhere near immediately hazardous to the media. Was it LTO or some other type of tape?
This is the Cloudflare VPN they announced back in April.

Apologies for the title. I noticed the app update, couldn’t find a blog post or a news article to post instead so I used the first line of the update description.

> Yeah, I removed Chrome precisely because it kept re-adding its crap to the login sequence.

This, and forced auto-updates were exactly what finally led me to entirely removing Chrome from all my systems.

> (I would have to update hundreds of accounts).

I actually have been doing this for the past couple months. It wasn't too bad, just time consuming. I took the opportunity to request account closures for every account that I don't expect to use in the future.

>>I don't how you never experienced or know that this PAN card requirement is not much.

You literally can't register a property in Bangalore without a PAN card. So please... AND the registrations are online. Everything is tracked. And in fact people themselves prefer its tracked because it prevents encroachment, double registrations etc.

>>A lot of land/home transaction involves large amount of unaccounted cash and this does not reflect on registered property price.

This was there long back. People keep repeating this, without any basis. The government can evaluate every single property and its evaluation traded as of at least 15 years now.

>>Also if land price is 'obviously high' why rental yields are lowest in India compared to price of property.

Because of several things. Firstly Land prices are high because individual people want them. Second when home units are built they are built several units over a single piece of land. Thirdly rental yields are also dependent on quality of construction, access to infrastructure, locality etc.

>>Who would really buy real estate if bank fixed deposits give better returns than rental income?

Simple reason. If you put money in fixed deposits inflation will eat the principle and you will eat the returns. Liquid money is easy to spend so it goes fast. Real estate is hard to dispose, so it stays and can be transferred over to the next generations.

Plus land rates appreciate, and you get rental yield and you can use the deposit money to earn interest. Beyond this you get the advantage of owning a piece of real estate in prime locations as time passes.

Stock investments require a lot of baby sitting and economic problems like these its hard for people to make decisions. Money once gone cannot be recovered easily. In case of real estate lands don't rot or vanish.

Looking at it from multiple vantage points, Land ownership is by far the best investment you will make in a country like India.
> The drive doesn't pause while the buffer fills again?

The drive does stop, and it runs at different speeds depending on how fast you are feeding it data. However, this process wastes tape capacity as you switch speeds.
Please consider zstd instead. It is superior in every way except memory usage and compatibility with old systems.
>So why do we assume that the things people are directed at in gendered ways

Because we're well past assumptions and have significant amounts of hard evidence that point towards relevant structural differences in the brain along gendered lines and behavioral differences that manifest at the earliest ages.

I too studied economics. My company has benefited from that knowledge gained
The whole point for randomized trials, and much of modern statistics is to argue from ignorance. You hypothesize that maybe there's something missing, who knows. A causal boogey man. Then you design a test robust to that. One term for problems this leads to is omitted variable bias. It's not about "ooh maybe this one thing is bad." It's about "this class of problem is introduced."

It's tough to make an intuitive story for why RCTs are important, so the story sounds elaborate. You don't need to offer evidence against the theory to say that the methodology is weak.

Anyways, wet streets might cause rain.

LTO, the archival temp is REALLY narrow, only 61-77F. Just google "lto storage temperature" and google will pop up a card based on the IBM data.
I don’t know why this is being downvoted, because it’s absolutely true. Any data you want to read years down the road should be retaped to newer media generations. Don’t rely on the promise that you can read tapes two generations back—test it yourself, if it’s important.
Note cloud vendors get the benefit of mixing high IOPs workloads with low IOPs workloads.

Say a cloud vendor needs a bunch of HDD for a database workload with high IOPs. Using modern disks (4+ TiB) this leaves a lot of stranded disk storage that can only be used for low IOPs workloads.

Archive storage uniquely meets the criteria of lots of storage, yet low IOPs.

That's a bit of an open question right now, unfortunately. Using S3 to store Lucene indexes is a roll-your-own thing since last I checked, and the implementation I wrote currently deals with smaller indexes where files can be pulled to fully disk as needed. S3 does support range requests, which I'd think would mimic random access well enough.

Assuming whatever ElasticSearch implementation you're using is backed by SSDs there'd likely be more latency with S3, but I'd expect it to scale pretty well. Internally, a Lucene index is an array of immutable self-contained segment files that store all indices for particular documents. Searching in multiple indices is pretty much just searching through all their segments- which can be as parallel as you want it to be.

To be honest, I'm actually surprised the Elasticsearch company doesn't offer this as an option. Maybe because they sell hardware at markup?
Technicality? Huh? I asked for a document and you sent it so now I'd better make sure I only read it with software that also requests every link in it and runs any code it finds? LOL no. No technicality about it.
Does putting assets onto Adam's balance sheet look like a bad idea for Adam, or for We? As with Enron, the way to understand the company's decision making is that in many particulars it was not trying to optimize its outcomes, it was trying to optimize the CEO's (and in Enron's case, the CFO's and maybe a couple others).
Hopefully it has a heart beat detector

That said, the cupholder in my riding lawn mower squeezes my iPhone 8 buttons into SoS mode. The first time it called 911 and I picked it up 30 minutes to a missed call and a text. No ambulance. Next time I mowed it, it called 911 again. No call and no text. I guess I made the 911 pranker list? Yay? Hopefully I don’t need it.

Wonder what makes this guy get an ambulance and me in South Bend Indiana get one text?
"do you know why" or "have an idea why" might be a good jumping off point, though a lot slower to say. "Are you aware of any existing conditions (that might be relevant to this emergency)" is probably too long.

The issue w bogus undisclosed batteries was causing problems for apples brand rep. Many of the bulging / exploding batteries were not in the end apple.

The lie you are spreading, that you can’t use non apple batteries is false. The phone will work fine, but apple will let you know it can’t model the batteries health.

Having the phone recognize if the battery key has changed is a simple and effective way to manage this.

For MANY people, being able to rely on the apple battery health check is far more important than allowing scammers to do a cheap battery swap, sell phone with a “near new” battery, and then have customer in apple store complaining a few weeks later only to be told they were ripped off

Sure. Anything, not like text compression is hard.
That is really odd. LTO shouldn't do that. I would actually suspect the actual drive, but you probably got a replacement drive to check. That is well outside my experience. If I remember correctly they should be good to 120F for a little while.
I can see all 23 trends in the sand chart at least. 23 lines on a line chart would be nothing but visual noise to me. I can barely parse the line charts on TIOBE which have only 10 lines.
Yeah or like, what if you just fall and decide to stay laying down for a minute but you’re actually fine?

I wonder if the fall has to happen in combination with some other health metrics that it senses? Does there even need to be a falling down? What if you have a heart attack while you’re strapped into your parked car and you don’t fall? Does it call then?
It is much better (using v70 beta 8), but still has areas where performance lags behind Chrome. On a large board in https://miro.com/, for example, Firefox is laggy and jittery, whereas Chrome is buttery smooth.
I don't think so unfortunately - the cellular watches are weird in that they must be on the same cellular network as the associated iphone. The recipe I suggested above works with the non-cellular version of the watch and counts on being on the same wireless network as the phone. So imo, you will need one iphone per watch. However, I have been able to get refurbished iphone 6s devices for as little as $60; you probably don't want anything older than 6s as it is the oldest device that can still run iOS 13 and thus future proof for just a little bit.

I remember $4/gal gas. Seeing my pump price go from $2.30 to $3.50 would be unpleasant but it would still feel like the end of a lovely grace period, not the beginning of a crisis.
Before reading up on LTO, I thought maybe it was some kind of physical compression where it would write the data closer together at the cost of read/write speed or something (doesn't really make sense in retrospect). I'm kind of disappointed that it was just regular data compression with an assumed ratio. :/

Soviet dacha owners often used long range interceptor fuel tanks for shower water tanks. People in the west don't understand: for most of their history, and in the remote regions, they didn't have ali-baba and ebay to order water tanks for their country house.
Disappointing article. Sure $/GB is a factor. But what about RPO and RTO? Or $/IOPS? When those factors are taken into consideration, disk often wins. Which is why the backup to disk market has gone bonkers in recent years and tape hasn't.

The tank inspection is not a quick visual inspection. It’s take it out, empty it, fill and pressurize with water in a protective enclosure, measure the expansion strain, drain, dry, stamp the inspection date, reinstall, purge, and refill.
There are at least ten Free Software Common Lisp implementations and three proprietary ones that are still supported. There are four APL implementations, two of which are Free Software. As for Ada, I've read there are six Ada 2012 compilers, with GNAT being the only Free Software option; there are more, however, if you look to older Ada standards. It's interesting how these ostensibly more complex languages have compiler parity with C and C++ or exceed those, isn't it? I think the reason is that it's much harder to optimize C than it is more abstract languages, clearly, and C++ is simply so complex I've seen an entire company dedicated to just writing a parser for it.

As an aside, I find it interesting how many negative Internet points I'm receiving relative to the amount of responses there are. My figuring is many of these people can't argue with what I'm writing.

That would still be a mess, in mostly the same way. All it does is emphasize that the values have a coarse 1-year sampling rate.

The real mistake is that the most rapidly-changing values should have been in the middle, with the slowly-changing values at both top and bottom. This would help align the values from one sample to the next, making them easier to follow across the chart.

Not sure if the tapes were permanently damaged or just had lost data. We ended up switching to a 16 disk server running backuppc. Not nearly the same capacity, but incrementals, deduplication, and compression made up the difference.

Also sadly the great price/performance brand with great service (overland) got bought up by the radically more expensive larger company and all the prices doubled 8-(.
As somebody with complex health problems: These sort of telemedicine/urgent care arrangements, where one visits with a random nurse practitioner or doctor, without near complete access to your medical record and without proper follow up, can be disastrous.

I am not blaming Amazon for anything. I am pointing out that your health problems need to be followed up, with your general practitioner (GP), if you have to visit an urgent care, even if you are "healthy". In many cases, all you really need to do is have the urgent care medical records transferred to your GP--and confirm that the GP office got them.

Considering that the third leading cause of death in the US is preventable medical errors [1], complete and accurate health records are important. In fact, this was how I was properly diagnosed with a very rare disease. I am now in remission and I get a second chance to live my life.

There were also women that were nonchalant, or even the large female anti-suffrage movements as well. Suffrage was seen by some (yes, women) as a threat to the family structure, amongst other reasons for oppision. Framing this as "prejudice" alone ignores the culture/opinions of the people of this era.

Agreed. The Saudi's via Softbank will install an experienced CEO and they will start operating effectively. I was skeptical about the whole thing, as somebody who worked out of a Regus office about 10 years ago the idea was not novel at all. That said, I see the notion of on-demand capacity in the physical world very similar to what makes cloud computing work: pay for what you need when you need it. With an increasingly remote work world, on-demand space can be purchased or reserved by big companies and well-funded startups, allowing for project-based teams to collaborate in-person. I'm not super optimistic about their prospects, but their backers have the resources to ensure a return on their investment, and they are most likely to do so.
Ok, for those who don't use Chrome (unless absolutely necessary):

* what the heck is keystone?

* why is it running any time Chrome isn't?

* why is a browser installing a root service?

* why is a piece of software changing root level symlinks in the first place? Clearly it doesn't need to because SIP prevents that nonsense

* Finally: is this enough to explain why SIP/rootless is a good feature?

Yeah, well true but mechanisms degrade and each generation is a pretty long as electronics go. The two generations ago reading should be an indication that you need to retake the old data. Getting old working drives is a pain, and the rental prices aren't cheap because you often need an expansion card to interface with the older drives.
Just bear in mind the build quality of Ideapad and other budget Lenovo brands aren't great. The ThinkPad (X, T or P series) really is in a class of its own in terms of build quality, upgradability and repairability.
