Doesn't mean much if you're just comparing Book Value...
I get the sense you two are talking about seperate things. That is, he is referring to the presence of military equipment and training while you are talking about the breadth of the discretion police have to use violence. It makes me wonder at differences in their impact.
So that long paragraph was essentially saying... protesters should ask more nicely? You should have saved your words.

Quiet, non-offensive protests do not work. Large-scale, massive protests that disrupt society have a chance of working.

I also don't think it's reasonable to expect that police tear gas protesters and shoot them in the face with rubber pullets and expect zero acts in return - especially since one of the HK demands is an investigation into ongoing Police Brutality.
Is the ABI documented anywhere? Every time I google around for it, I just get information like "COM is ABI stable and language agnostic" but not what the ABI is. I've successfully implemented implementations of single COM interfaces and get the basics, my trouble was in implementing many interfaces for the same implementation and running into copious segfaults when testing the Rust implementation through a reference app written in C++.
Google is well known to monetize your data, it's their primary revenue after all. Apple sells hardware, while they could monetize your data, they are actively presenting themselves as a privacy company. So Apple looks better than Google in that regard.

Though I have no idea why would anyone trying to hide from Google. You can't really. Google spies on you everywhere, from every website. They already have all data and you can't do anything about it. It won't be much worse if they'll have a bit more data.
As you said, China MIGHT. Which mean it has not happen yet to deserve the accusation.
If Hong Kong becomes a Palestine-style cause celebre it will be bad for China.

China is trapped. They are stuck with this democratic appendix attached to a communist body. China can't keep Hong Kong under a democratic system as they have zero understanding of democracy. But if they try to repress it they risk endangering China's relationships with the rest of the world. They made a
mistake thinking they could transform a democratic territory into a communist one without any consequences.
None of this had anything to do with how the database is used.
Even if the price per unit didn’t change, when the pack size gets smaller, there’s more packaging per litre/kg.

Although packaging could be thinner, a lot of packaging is to protect from external impact/environment, and remains just as thick, but the surface area to volume ratio has increased.

If I need 3L, it’s annoying to buy 4x 750 instead of 3x 1L like I could in the past.

But the opposite can be true too: a 12 pack of soap may be 12 boxes inside a box...
It is worth stating that in neither case does it function without a relevant item selected.

Meaning with the graph design toolbar, it would be visible, but do absolutely nothing until a graph is selected. With the Ribben it appears when the graph is selected.

I don't see how a disabled toolbar, with no clue how to enable it, helps with user training or clarity.
Very interesting article.

I would love to drive by fields of zebra-painted cows, however it does make me wonder if there were other elements at play.

From the plos.org article above: "Biting flies are attracted to their host animals by odors, shape, movement, brightness, color, polarization and body temperature"

By painting on an animal, you are now changing not just the color (and perceived shape, which affects perception of movement), but also the odor (due to the paints) and perhaps interfering with how the flies will perceive the body temperature of the animal, too.

It would also be interesting to see how these specific data points compare between zebras and the cows used for these kinds of tests.
Without a legal definition of cryptocurrency ownership there is no way to interpret this guidance. I may assert that I own the private key which can transact on the Bitcoin blockchain but also assert that I do not own the exact same private key on the Shitcoin 1234 blockchain. A very crude and simple analogy would be like assuming people with the same bank pin are the same person.
We still need some way to live on a planet other than Earth for the sake of insurance in case something happens to Earth that we cannot control.

Apple's new subscription management prompt seems to be working
Yeah, the difference between the two fuel types that pumps advertise is tiny. Only three years ago we hit a low of .95 eur diesel / 1.50 eur gas; just this afternoon it was 1.31 versus 1.61!
yeah, my main issue with it is it seems really exploitative. Get a bunch of kids and control every aspect of their lives in exchange for fame, subjecting them to all kinds of pressures and limiting their experiences...
I am not exactly sure what are you referring to, but I think this lib is pretty small compared with what is currently on the market, and I have tried my best, time and effort to keep the package as small and feature-rich as it can be, but I love constructive critisim and if you have better solution or reckon code can be improved, please submit a PR and it would do me a favor and also the rest of the community, because I built this not just me for but for other devs around the wrold. thanks

Tesla moved to 21700 on model 3 and newer models
I was talking about the economic threat. I completely agree that The Japan of twenty years ago was a much freer place than China today and that they are not the same thing in terms of authoritarianism.

Economically though, the two situations are similar.
I've tried everything inbetween, so.
That 'guidance' isn't clear, as its quite frequent that when a hard fork occurs, there's speculation on the value of the new chain before the split, and high volatility after the split. In a number of cases, there aren't actually functional markets allowing price discovery for the new chain; thus the IRS hasn't yet given any guidance on establishing a new chain's cost basis.
I quit reading it because of the scroll behavior.
This is why I prefer buying bulk when I can (with reusable containers/bags [1]). Bulk Coffee + airtight/cool storage hasn't resulted in bad coffee for me.

Why put up with deceptive packaging?

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion here, but I wonder if any folks have considered what it looks like on the China side? Specifically, you are in China, and the HK protestors want what to happen to China?

You have HK protesters waving American and British flags. These are the countries that have started wars all over, in the last 70 years since the end of WWII, ostensibly to promote democracy, and everywhere this happens there is chaos and destruction.

Add to that, China's cultural history of being invaded and exploited by various foreigners whenever it was weak or divided, and what happened to Russia in the 90s after democracy and neo-liberal capitalism were introduced, and you don't really have a good story here.

So, imagine then, you are in China, and the HK protestors sound like they want what for China?

The popular notion is that China would become a place friendly to Western ideals if it became successful. But even here, the West – and in particular, the US/UK – doesn't "get" China. Whatever is said here, China will bypass the US/UK, for practical purposes. But in any case, it is not as if they are representative of the West as a whole, nor can they claim to have a better human rights record – or equality record – or a fairer society.
If the museum is unchanged since 1987, then presumably the central heating (and the lightbulbs!) would be much juicier places to go looking for fat to trim.
>If Hong Kong becomes a Palestine-style cause celebre it will be bad for China.

Will it? Because nobody gives a fuck about Palestine, and Israel is not suffering much (or at all) because of what they did and do.
In iso8601, so I don't have to figure out where you live and which format that country uses.

I would guess that what makes these languages attractive is that, if you end up working in a project that uses one of them, it’s likely to be a new project with almost no technical debt.

I bet that an old and badly designed Elm app would be just as bad to work with.
I guess he’s lucky that the password wasn’t anything embarrassing. What if the password had been “I love sex” or something?
So then why not just keep putting the same amount of coffee in the can?

It should be possible to use exiftool to write any color profile tags you want to keep to a separate file, strip all metadata from the image, and then copy the color profile metadata you saved out earlier back to the image.
They were talking about writing code that doesn't allocate in the hot path. Mostly this is pretty easy to eye-ball, but you can make sure it doesn't allocate by passing `-gcflags -m` to the `go build` command. This is almost always the initial bottleneck in naive Go code.
Yes, leaving out the consumption of materials in the form of goods manufactured elsewhere is such a giant, glaring hole in the logic that it strains credibility to believe it's mere oversight. It looks like deliberate misinformation.
>How the hell do you bounce back from this?

I'm depressingly pessimistic about there being any long or even short-term consequences for this. 5 Years ago? Maybe it would have been harder to ride out. But these days you need not wait long, sometime no longer than a few days, before the next outrage of the moment rears its head. Society has become inured to it, which in turn means organizations like the NBA or Blizzard have become inoculated from the consequences.
This is a common refrain, mailing lists do need a lot of instructions at the bottom to make sense — email wasn't made for groups. It's like 'group' SMS, your phone might provide you with a single chat window with all your friends, but what it really is doing is just sending a separate SMS to every one of the recipients.

So you need the 'the manual' attached to every message to make sure people get it right. Looks downright scary sometimes though, especially the prospect of getting swiped at by UNIX greybeards if you do it wrong.

Incidentally, I'm working on a modern version of this whole page in a Reddit-like interface. (https://aether.app) It doesn't solve all of the pains of listserv, but it does help with most, including this one you mentioned.
Your interpretation makes sense to me. However, the problem is that the IRS didn't actually state that in their limited guidance.
Do you see companies that aren't partially owned by Chinese interests doing things like this?

Admittedly I'm not fully up to speed on the situation, but I doubt Blizzard would have taken this action without considering Tencent's influence.
> . A 30-34 year old woman is 500x more likely to give birth than a 10-14 year old

that's heavily skewed by the fact that far more 30-34 year olds are trying to have kids while most 10-14 year olds are either not having sex or actively trying to avoid pregnancy.
Except in the situation where the HF coin gets the original ticker or the very rare situation that there is a liquid futures market in advance of the fork (has only arguably happened once that I'm aware of) there is no market value at the time of the fork-- the fork happens at an instant, and the asset cannot be traded at or before that instant.

A market value might well be established in the hours or days after, but it isn't always.

In cases where the newly created cryptocurrency immediately carries the market there is an unambiguous value for the new system (and the original cryptocurrencies value becomes ambiguous), but applying income tax to the new asset there leads to absurd results.

I agree that the ruling seems to generally support some aspects of one of the most obvious conclusions in the simplest of cases, but it fails to meaningfully clarify the application... and also suggests some absurdities that almost no one was expecting.

However, Trump is a good negotiator, as we've seen with North Korea. Yes, he strongarms, but that's the US for you. I'm skeptical--but not in denial--about the possibility that this is phase 1 of the subdue-China plan.

Jacob here, RevenueCat co-founder and the colleague who ran the data for this post.

The most interesting thing for me about the data is that there was a fairly flat 9% absolute drop in conversions across apps, independent of their base conversion rates. This might suggest that this modal is educating a set of users who simply didn't realize how iOS subscriptions worked.

It's gonna hit apps with already low conversion rates, they might lose half their new business, but I think this will create hardier subscriber bases, and maybe lift the sometimes negative perception of in-app purchases.
Americans who "work for the federal government" were required to delete their social media profiles as a condition of employment. Not sure if this is still the case.

Yeah. I'd encourage everyone to check with tax attorneys to be sure because klodolph's interpretation seems a bit suspect at first blush. Check with an attorney, or preferably two, just to be sure because the consequences for getting this wrong are nontrivial.
wow thanks, chatmasta, I am really glad to hear this great feedback! I would like to put the credit towards React Hook because it really saves us to write less code and not to worry too much about the lifecycle methods.
If nothing else a large farm gains more from efficiency. $10/acre when you have 80 acres is $800. If you have 3,000 acres that is $30,000 - which means you can afford to pay for more efficiency.
Unless you take the view that human rights are human rights are human rights, and are universal. Being shitty to the humans you pay while paying lip service to some of the humans that pay you is an interesting and, from some angles, contradictory position to hold.
No. For the same reason you can't create stock in a company and mail people shares, rack up a bunch of debt, and have random people liable for part of the debt.

Just because someone "gives" you something, doesn't mean you accepted it and own it.
That's exactly how they're going to bounce back from it, it's going to be easy for the game companies, and it's going to work great. Or, more likely, they won't have to bounce back from it at all. The people cancelling their accounts will be back within a month. Gamers will tolerate anything, unless there's a better game that they'd rather play they're not going anywhere.
Also n00bs like me... just don't offer code specific instruction about coding on your blog. Personal experiences, learning advice have at it, but if you really haven't done much coding.... please don't offer advice about it.

I hate to be so negative but the internet is awash with bad coding advice (and the same code copied from vid to blog and back again) that seems like resume fodder more than helpful.

The worst thing about learning is reading a post long enough to realize the other person is a noob too and their code is a malformed mess that the blog author doesn't really understand.
The thing is that I've been using IntelliJ since version 3something, 15 years ago or so. It's _always_ had freezing problems. Over the years they made incremental progress on the Java front such that it became less common; or else workstations just caught up with the software. Or both.

I also used AppCode extensively, that one actually behaved pretty well, overall.

So I am not really surprised by CLion's performance/stability issues. I have a long love/hate type thing around this with Jetbrains.

I hope they can get these things sorted out.

I often wonder if they wouldn't be better rewriting in a non-GC'd language. Rust or something.
Same as dollar. E.g. you are not taxed, if dollar aporeciates.
Yes! That's exactly the point of the main library [1]! To do other student activities is the point of the student center!

I don't understand "student centers". You'd imagine its a place to do studenting - study! Things like group projects, discussion, debates, ect.

Instead, you're quite likely to see an arcade with the latest VR consoles at the student center.

Video gaming, and the like, are activities that non-students also enjoy. Therefore, there is no reason for the university to provide them. Presumably there are arcades else where in the city.

But, call me old fashioned I guess :S

[1] The point of the library warehouse isn't to put the near long-tail a day away. It's to put the far part of long-tail a day away. The Main Library should contain most every long tail search any researcher should ever need. The warehouse, therefore, has stuff that is more likely to rot before it is cracked (great carbon sink, to boot)
Exactly. If global warming said the typical outside temperature in Seattle doubles to almost 600K then it'd be fair to argue that's crazy people extrapolating - water isn't even liquid at that temperature, no model we have could make sense. But actually the model says it will go up say 2 or 3K. Much less like a wild extrapolation, and unfortunately still completely terrifying because that is already far too much.
You haven't made any points I can identify, so, yes indeed I did ignore them, going back to my point.

I do thank you for taking the time to share your argument; it annoyed me enough to come up with the above summarization of what technologically important breakthroughs are. It also demonstrates ably why a jet airplane is an important improvement over, say, a train; something a child would find obvious, but which some people seem to find confusing.
WOW classic is ramped in English realms tonight - coincidence ? much!
He finishes the video by saying: "there is no oppression here guys".

Which is blatantly false. I know it's a tired meme, but there's an Orwellian panopticon powered by computers which literally rates each and every person by their level of socially desirable metrics and materially affects their daily life. That is oppression of freedom, and it's only the beginning. We've been down this road before with other autocracies in the past, but they weren't powered by machine learning...

That being said the video did give an important perspective of the overwhelming level of patriotism the Chinese people have for their country.

I didn't know there was such regulation, and now I wish we could get it back. Not a month goes by without me or my wife noticing another product in the supermarket that lost a few percent of its mass while retaining its price.
PE is definitely far more structured and reasonable than the VC market.

Holding periods are also much longer for PE than VC, with some holding for 30+ years.
The last couple times I've made big architectural decisions that would be expensive/impossible to change, I've bounced it off of a small number of trusted folks first. This is almost nothing like a formal critique like you see in the arts, and I do think formalizing it a bit more could be useful.

But yes, one of my first reactions to a lot of bone-headed choices I see is usually, "nobody noticed that X would happen?"

It's ok for that manufacturing to go elsewhere, it's still a huge win for the US in the case in which the conflict with China continues to worsen (likely). It's the ideal approach to dealing with them: drain their economy of its manufacturing & exports and incubate a dollar-caused stagnation as they're unable to transact at the required scale with the rest of the global economy without a massive, endless supply of dollars (the Yuan has a trivial share of global foreign trade). They're already starting to suffocate under the lack of dollars right now, as their current account balance is shifting permanently negative. I'd expect them to begin increasingly restricting their citizens from foreign tourism, as it's a sizable source of dollar bleed, it's a luxury they can't afford much longer. They'll do it under the guise of the need to reinvigorate the Chinese spirit at home and to stop importing negative foreign incorrect values (some party b.s. like that).

It's perfectly fine to redirect all US->China manufacturing into other nations such as Vietnam. Not only is that great for helping other nations develop (many of which are regional competitors of China, so it's further ideal that those nations become stronger vis-a-vis China), it reduces China's position of strength.
Great - documentation is a work in progress! We are also pushing out examples and use cases as fast as we can.
Amazon business model:

$cost_of_a_thing < $charges_of_customer.

$cost_of_a_thing + $additional_expenses_allocated_to_ thing could be > $charges_of_customer

Described business model:

$cost_of_a_thing > $charges_of_customer.

hence $cost_of_a_thing + $other_expenses_allocated_to_thing is > $charges_of_customer

First one can be profitable via scale. Second cannot.
Specifically, you are in China, and the HK protestors want what to happen to China?

> without considering Tencent's influence

At 5% ownership, Tencent doesn't have the muscle to force Blizzard to do anything it wouldn't have already done of its own volition.
