Also of note: Fall detection is exclusive to the series 4 or above, which seems questionable.

It's from the huge and complex social construct. I think this has been fairly well documented throughout the evolution of video games, specifically when you start looking at the golden era of arcades and games like Pac-Man (whose demographics consisted mostly of women).

With the home console revival and growth of PCs, games were marketed primarily towards young men as the default demographic. There's also the fact that what's considered for men vs women can vary drastically depending on whether we're talking about the US, Korea, Japan etc.
Proud to see someone making an account to respond to my comment.

My solution is government-run single payer health insurance, separated from employers. It doesn't need 'disruption' or 'innovation' or any other Silicon Valley band-aid. It just needs to drop the cancerous insurers from the market completely and separate profits from healthcare.

Imagine the panic some mother is going to have when her two teenage sons get in a car to go somewhere, safely get that somewhere and for whatever reason high-five each other as hard as they possibly can.
Thanks much. For others, here are the relevant bits I could find (my emphasis):

> ...It is by no means assured that our national security sector will be able to attract on a sufficient scale the scarce engineering, mathematical and scientific talent that would supply the necessary expertise. That challenge will require investment, enlightened strategic management and an innovative approach to luring a different type of expert out of the private sector into government. Meeting this challenge will require a greater reliance in general on the private sector, since government alone does not possess the requisite expertise. A large portion of the intelligence community’s experts on the military capabilities and plans of Russia and China joined government during the Reagan administration; other experts on counterterrorism and new technology burnished their technical skills following the Sept. 11 attacks. Many of those experts are nearing retirement or have already left to join an attractive private sector. With millennials believing that technology in the private sector now allows them to help change the world — previously the idea of a mission had been largely the province of public service — it is not clear that the intelligence community will be able to attract and retain the necessary talent needed to make sense of how our adversaries will make use of the new technology...

> ... the government no longer possesses the lead in complex technology, at least in many areas relevant to national security. Arguably, the most powerful computing and sophisticated algorithm development now occurs not in the Pentagon or the N.S.A. but in university research labs and in the Googles and Amazons of the commercial world. (To be sure, the government still maintains its superiority in important areas ranging from nuclear energy to cryptography.)...

> ... our national security agencies for the first time must amass the talent and systems to understand not simply a military challenge but also challenges across a broad range of technology and global finance issues. The capacity for such understanding currently resides principally in the private sector and our universities, not the federal government.
What's the environment that my `make` command runs in? Windows or gnu/linux? "wine" makes me think it's a Windows environment which is not what I want.

msys2 greatly simplifies cross-platform building for me because it just looks like a linux build environment (and has arch's pacman for deps like git and stuff)
College-Scandal Punishment Gets Harsher with Richer Bribes
>> I've dropped pretty much all Google stuff except for GMail, mostly out of laziness (I would have to update hundreds of accounts).

I held off for two years moving away from GMail for this reason. A year ago I decided to pull the plug anyway, and it turned out to be much less annoying than expected. My strategy was as follows: first enable a forward from GMail to your new mail address, then directly migrate the ~10 vital/daily accounts, then just leave the rest pointing to the GMail account. After that, change each remaining account immediately (no exceptions) the moment I either log in to it, or receive an e-mail from it that refers to the GMail address.

It took me about two months migrating away from GMail, and as a bonus I was able to identify quite a few old login I didn't really have a use for anymore, so I closed them.

For regular mail I put an auto-reply in GMail that says I don't use it anymore and the address will be closed at some point in the future. But honestly, I don't think anyone ever saw it as nobody sends regular email anymore these days. All in all the process was pretty painless, and I feel very happy about ditching the last Google service I was still using (except the rare Google query of DDG fails to return useful results)
I've seen firsthand cases where EAP providers "leaked" details back to the employer.
...where did I suggest that you should be quizzing people on trivia?

If you need to work out whether someone can do something, ask them to do it. Talk to them about things they have done as a first step. Don't overthink it.

Where I am, no-one asks DS&A questions. Managers still manage to fuck it up by focusing too much on inane questions - a propensity which seems to be inherent to human existence - and discounting just sitting down, asking someone to do something, and then getting them to explain why they did it that way.
You can trace this mentality about government back to the progressive era.

> But the general benefit you get from JS being single-threaded is the fact that any given callback is transactional. No other code will ever come in and mutate state between two regular lines of JavaScript code. Achieving this is pretty much the whole point of locking mechanisms, so under normal circumstances they aren't necessary for JS.

The same claim can be made for Visual Basic. This always sounds like a stronger guarantee than it actually is. In practice, the exact same mistakes get made irrespective of what the runtime provides.

Ultimately, people have to learn about race conditions in order to write correct code in a nontrivial system. Brushing the 'majority' of such cases under the carpet just makes it harder to educate them.
Tech can see itself from her vantage point. It just refuses to acknowledge that it's looking at itself.
As someone running a Mastodon server out of her own pocket (with some help from enough of her users that it’s not too bad), I certainly wouldn’t mind if there was some kind of government funding available to help out on that.
Karl Marx was notably a philosopher who wrote about the alienation of labor which resulted from a highly specialized capitalist economy. He saw that workers were increasingly separated from the things they produced, and that people who would have once tended for the flock, shorn the sheep, spun the whool, and wove it into clothing were instead spending 16 hours at a machine, isolated from the final creation. He thought this converted people in mere cogs in a machine rather than fully realized creative individuals.

If you think that universities should just teach students tools that they need for some specific job, perhaps you would benefit from a course in Marxism, even if many of his ideas are today known to be wrong.
Huh? It would certainly be "adjudicating the acquisition of cars," which would be the better analogy. Some acquisitions of cars are legal (like when you buy a car), and some are illegal (like if you steal a car).
No.

I took short term disability leave to deal with severe mental health issues. My career didn't end, in fact, I got a promotion very shortly after returning to work. I didn't even lose my security clearance and I fully disclosed my hospitalization/disability leave. My clearance is required to do my job.
Apparently over this?

That ridiculous claims smacks of conspiracy theory.

Any number of institutions have their own committees to judge bad behavior - civil courts of all sorts multiply in a bureaucratic society and colleges just one example of a bureaucracy and one strongly connected to many others in this society.
Good questions. First, services like open.quiltdata.com and Amazon's Registry of Open Data cover the S3 costs for public data. So that's one incentive. Second, the cost of cloud resources are highly competitive (if not superior) to on-premise data centers (see https://twitter.com/mohapatrahemant/status/11024016152632238... I don't think it's correct to think of S3 as expensive.

There are many ways to shave S3 costs (e.g. intelligent tiering, glacier), but at some point the data become so slow to access that you can't offer a pleasant user experience around browsing, searching, and feeding pipelines.

Most importantly, the "my data, my bucket" strategy gives users control over their data. A university with their own bucket has more control over their data than they do if Google, Facebook, etc. host and monetize it.
Ah yes, I'll just pop down to my local car dealer and pick up a $15k natural gas vehicle...
How Much Do You Pay for Intercom?
The post's entire point is to say make all actions snappy. That doesn't mean you can finish loading a video instantaneously, it means you can acknowledge the user's request to start loading a video instantaneously.

Waiting for termination of a loading indicator on a web page is irrelevant to this post, it's a tangential topic completely.

"content" in the post is not referring to web page content, it's referring to UI content. We're not talking about content generation in the web page sense.

Not really seeing how you could get that at all from what I said, but sort of typical of the sort of surface thinking prevalent in most "save the planet" crusaders.

There is no way in the world you didn't benefit from use of some kind of hydrocarbons yesterday, most indirectly, but entirely possibly a significant part directly. It's basically unavoidable.

So how would you feel about paying 3 or 5 times for the price to reduce the chance of this happening by maybe a factor of 10? It is basically impossible to remove all risk, other than to not do it at all.

I was actually having more of a dig at the "natural" supplements crowd, maybe it was too subtle for you.

History is also informative, look at the Ixtoc 1 spill, which most people have never heard of before.

BTW, having taken the moral high ground, what are you personally doing or working on to improve the current status quo? You might be surprised what I do.
Why every 4-5 years?
If you're in the market for a smart watch, and you're a cyclist, I'd recommend checking out Garmin. They have a massive array of sensors and record very precise data that is aggregated on Garmin Connect. It's been invaluable to me for assessing training effectiveness over time. They make Apple watches look like toys. If you want the latest and greatest, the Forerunner 945 is probably what you're looking for, but the older models can be found for cheap and are still solid watches. If you want emergency alerts, you'll have to stick with newer models though.
I'm a total believer in this. I tried for years to keep a journal and nothing ever stuck. Since 2010, though, I've been using services like OhLife and DailyDiary that send me an email prompt every night and I just reply with a few sentences. I then dump these to text files and backup periodically. I can also attach photos and store those. This has been sustainable and archival and I'll be coming up on a decade of daily use soon. It's dead simple. I have little to no infrastructure or tools to maintain and (re)learn, plus the reminders keep me going.
I can think of a lot of things you can do that will make the portion of your body that the watch is attached to take a really hard hit. How does it not have a high false positive rate?
I don't think the Active 2 is an Android WearOS device. However I have the Active 1 and very much prefer it to WearOS.
Mueller concluded that he was forbidden from finishing that investigation and that a different means like impeachment would have to continue it.

And today’s announcement is due to misconduct that happened after the Mueller report was released (literally the day after).
I don't think they're claiming to actually anonymize them. Seems like it's just a stylistic choice to not affirmatively identify them.
"primitive people"

So how well would this thing work? What I am asking is what percentage of all the tor hidden service sites out there would get detected by it?
agree that protocol doesn't solve the funding/promotion problem.

but this is not an either/or, it's a both/and - the problems with excessive influence on some open protocol (r.e. your Moxie comment) are funding problems (perhaps what you mean). But, even if funding is the main issue, one still needs something worthy of funding.
There is no built-in quote formatting, so code blocking is basically the only way to have it show different. Attribution is important to some, and a proper quote format would help with that.
That sounds too fan-ism.

Why don’t we judge Apple for Apple’s words and actions and compare them to other’s words and actions, then see how each stacks up.
You're sort of right but it depends on the races and the data structures. If you depend on a remote function and ordering is important lots of problems can happen.

I've definitely needed more locking primitives and ordering but it's mostly for remote code.

There are also a ton of bugs that can happen with memory allocation.

For example if you do 50 async and they all come back and once and try to all allocate memory and then perform some action at the end you can have too many in flight and then use too much memory.

It's not really threaded but you can run into similar problems.

I've done 10+ years of core JVM threading with raw threads and softare transactional memory datastructures and CAS operations and my experience there helps a ton.

Async is definitely not just 'free'
Ping-O-Matic
I know they typically wouldn't print the price out on the web page for competitive and contractual reasons, but does anyone know how much one should expect to pay for such a machine? It's such a new thing I can't even hazard a guess.
I for one can't stand their closed eco system and am not impressed by the way Apple is merely picking features that others have funneled through their own innovation processes (seeing what works, what doesn't) - furthermore claiming it as "theirs" not giving any nod to those who went before. Etc. Etc.

So I completely understand why someone would qualify their opinion that this is a nifty good feature by stating as much. Automatic emergency dialing is one feature that my Galaxy Watch doesn't have, that I'd like to have.

Going back to my first paragraph: Appled "claimed" AoD in their launch, however the Galaxy Watch has a great always on display with battery that lasts for days - even longer than the S3 Frontier I had before it. Pebble was the original gangster of course, pretty much inventing the whole market - screen always on for 10 days in the PTS! - but now that they're gone (RIP - all of my Pebbles broke several times so I know why) Garmin has the #1 best battery life by far. I really, really like Tizen however so went with that being a Samsung S-series owner and appreciating the fantastic integration.

On the contrary, I think that sort of protection just hides problems --- like this one. As a general rule, bugs with the highest impact are also the ones which are most likely to be fixed quickly. If you tested with SIP on, it'd try to remove /var but wouldn't succeed, and you'd think everything is OK when the application's logic is actually faulty.
Wasting time and money getting lost, getting separated from companions with no way to find them again, significantly reduced transportation options, having some sort of emergency and having a much tougher time dealing with it.

I have a decent amount of experience traveling internationally before the smartphone era. It was mostly fine, but with the smartphone is way better. And I had a couple of difficult unforeseen circumstances that would have been made far easier with one.
Nice article - but the BBC did get a major detail wrong. The mazes are not always solvable - Figure 5 in the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.02035) explicitly demonstrates an unsolvable maze sample from the game, which can only be solved by collecting and using a "make-break" powerup (which allows the user to create or remove a wall).

They interviewed a co-creator who claimed it did always make solvable mazes, which is probably where the BBC journalist got confused.
Only at the parties worth attending.
You would use const, unless you wanted to reassign the variable later in the same scope.
I agree that that's a problem. If Discord is "good enough" for social media, then Matrix is trying to be an open source, decentralized Discord. It's also (in my personal experience) unbelievably crappy, even if you stick to 1-1 conversations on the "default" matrix.org instance that Riot.im uses.

Some security experts have indicated that it's not up to par with Signal for those who need the strongest confidentiality guarantees. (I wouldn't fully trust Signal either if my adversary was the NSA, but there might also be no better alternative you could get people to use.)

So it's really telling to me that years of work on decentralized "personal" social media hasn't come up with anything that's fully functional, let alone a replacement to existing social media sites.
Haha, i always get a chuckle out of that phrase :)

I’ll leave it up to my fellow party-attendees to decide ;)
I'm not telling you not to have children, but it does make you a hypocrite.

I'm accusing you of casual racism for drawing a false distinction around the behavior of Indians. They are doing what everyone else has done in the same circumstance. Just because we have gotten our growth spurt and dirty economic development out the way doesn't entitle us to waggle our finger at those that took longer.

It's on the first world to fix things first. The wealthiest should have the lowest per capita emissions, not the highest. Shouting at the third world for their high population count isn't environmentalism, it won't work, and it doesn't give you the moral high ground.

> "question everything"

Man, when I was an edgy teenager I questioned everything. But then I grew up, had a family and you know what.... I ain't got time to question everything. Even if I spent all my time questioning everything, what would I gain? I couldn't possibly get answers to 99% of the things I question. I can't be an expert in everything.

So whats the point in questioning everything? Who gives a shit if this was a "stealth article" by Apple, the CIA or the Coca Cola Bottling Company. What difference does it make to me? None whatsoever.

These days I try to be very careful what things I spend my time & energy on.
Sure, but try and prove you never crossed the median or went over the speed limit. Now add an environment where your passengers are pressured to report you if they suspect you may have violated a rule of the road, and you have the sex life of your typical college student.
I got the impression you feel that's a bad thing, but I think it's just me. To me a rational governments would want its country to grow. And economic growth is accomplished by having new or growing businesses.

I agree Tesla was allowed as part of their benefit. I don't think Tesla benefits any of those Chinese automakers. No one wants a competitor. Sure, Tesla would help the crap companies die faster and force the rest to adapt to higher standards. But I think the real intention is for Chinese consumers to benefit from a superior and less polluting product. They are aggressively environmental nowadays afterall.

In TFA, the (quoted) preceding sentences are repeatedly accentuating the severity of the crash and directly implying that the severity is the reason for the replacement. The severity has has nothing to do with the need to replace the helmet, i.e., it does not follow logically.
Part of censure of the megacorps should be forcing them to use open federated standards or face steep repercussions. As it stands not even email or the web would have been created, they all want their own AOL portals.

That's just because it wants to install machine-wide if possible. You can just tell it to continue without admin permissions and it tells you explicitly that it can be installed without that.

Note that Windows doesn't work like Linux with setuid bits and whatnot. The permissions a file is installed with don't dictate what permissions the program that executes it has. That's entirely a function of the program's security context. Hence, for a machine-wide installation to actually make a difference security-wise, Google would actually have to install e.g. a high-privilege service that would run when you try to start Chrome. I don't think it does such a thing.

So I think Windows is already designed correctly in this regard and hence I don't think this is an issue on Windows as claimed.

The viewer was suicidal.

The streamer was also suicidal, and responded to the viewer's note with his personal viewpoint on committing suicide. ("People who do it are selfish and weak" -- pretty much the same viewpoint we're discussing here.) Note that, since the streamer was alive, that viewpoint successfully prevented him, the streamer, from committing suicide.

For sharing his successful views, he was made a pariah.
