I basically plan on not ever selling for decades, so the volatility/liquidity issues that Burry was talking about that would happen if everyone tries to selloff at the same time don’t worry me too much: as long as I don’t sell, I believe things will recover just fine after a few months/years. I have enough invested in fixed income to being able to weather a very significant storm, including me losing my job for several years.

If things don’t recover after that, then I think I will have much bigger problems than my investment portfolio.
I've been working 16 hour days for a stretch here on a big project, so maybe this is just escaping me, but how is that different from stating that your savings account is incompetence?

According to claims on Reddit, this malware can re-enable "Allow installing untrusted apps" checkbox after user unchecks it.

I think you are mistaken.

GPL places no restrictions on how you USE the software.

You can use it for any purpose. You can modify it, adding or deleting code in any way you want.

If you don't redistribute the software, it ends there.

The GPL only comes into play if you redistribute the software. You then have the responsibility to pass on the source code with any modifications you've made so that subsequent users have the same rights you do.

Other licenses like BSD and MIT do not have these restrictions. You could fork and close the software, distributing binaries that do things the users might not agree with but would not be able to discern and counteract.

I only run a small one for kicks: it updates my github page with a dummy commit each day. They got rid of streaks, but I still leave it running out of some misplaced sense of sentimentality.

A few years ago, a friend and I built one that would scan twitter for tweets in the vein of “like to win $ITEM” or “RT to win $ITEM.” Our bot would automatically perform the requested action, and then text me (via twilio) for each DM and mention we got (so I could manually respond and claim the prize). We didn’t disguise it well, and were shut down after about 4 weeks, but it was fun while it lasted! :)

Well, they don't say that so it doesn't really matter what they mean. And they imply that by not having a device on all the time it is the cause for synchronization issues which is completely incorrect.

If I take photos on vacation and throw them in a sync'd folder the next time both devices are online they will resolve the new file delta between that shared folder. That doesn't imply I always need one or the other device online. The more devices syncing the less likely it is that only one would be online at a time, but again there's no requirement there for an always on device.

Anyway... SyncThing is fantastic for users who are willing to invest some time learning how the software works. Every paid for product seems to cater to the "it just works" mentality thereby sacrificing control to me, the user, to handle situations that can't be handled by overly simplified, cloud-first, lock the user into our licensing model solutions. And don't get me wrong, those are fine for many people. For users who want more control via more responsibility - then SyncThing is great. But I don't like how they are spreading FUD about it just to get some name association.
ofcourse! it also has to be functional :)

It is telling that you think this is even remotely similar to a justification. And in the case of bribery, both parties are at fault - the one giving, and the one receiving the bribe.
Old fashioned FBI legwork...

You're wrong about... everything.

FBI washed their hands of this when the rest of DoJ did, in 2008. Two things caused national attention to return to Epstein: Alexander Acosta's nomination to Labor, and Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald refusing to forget about Epstein's victims even after the rest of the media had. FBI had fuck-all to do with any of this; they don't like to investigate people who can afford to hire lawyers.
NSO is a great company. I’d love to work for them. They speak truth to power and call Apple on their “secure by design” marketing nonsense.
> the monetary benefit of a tax professional is going to be more than the cost of their services.

Sure, structuring your spending in advance to optimize taxes is something you might want to ask outside help for. But when it comes to paying your taxes based on how you’ve already used your money, why does it make sense for there to be anything other than one value which both you and the government agree is owed? Why should it be negotiable?
You could bolster your claim that it's a canard by linking to several other US government-built websites doing as complex a job as filing taxes that are convenient and easy to use.
If it makes good photos, and the extra information isn’t being harvested to track you like Facebook would do, what does it matter what it’s actually doing under the hood? It probably is doing a lot of that because it can condense all that extra information into a picture that looks better to humans. But the tech of how it reaches that really shouldn’t matter or be creepy, it’s just processing a bunch of pixels to make something look nice. Just like your mirrorless camera, but with more frames put together to make the final result.

That's unworkable. The vast majority of records of any given agency are non-releasable. The federal courts would be inundated and/or Congress would have to set up an entire system of administrative courts just to deal with the deluge of every divorcing spouse who wants to know the balance of his or her spouse's Thrift Savings Plan and every request for an internal phone roster or personnel disciplinary files. Your proposal would effectively gut the Privacy Act.
"Central estimates in the recent literature broadly agree that global mean sea level is likely to rise 20–30 cm by 2050 ref.3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10"

But what the paper is claiming, is that accepted methods of determining elevation are positively biased (estimates of land mass being higher than this new paper says):

"CoastalDEM reduces linear vertical bias from 4.71 m to less than 0.06 m."
What're compile times like?
No. The play store does not check very well and is pretty easy to bypass. Up until recently you could just download .dex (android equivalent of .jar) files into your apps resources at run time then call the classloader. Then for their runtime scan you can either just wait to put the real code online or have a hardcoded switch to execute the main function based on like an NTP server saying it's past X day. I think that is why they removed calls to the classloader from android. There's a few other ways to do basically that that still work but I'm not sharing those for free.

IMO There is a slight flaw to how this question is worded. It's not that they block you from running code that you need to be root to run (you'll just get insufficient perms errors) it's just that you're not root. You could write the code to write to /system, and it will run it just will not work. Thus, you need to utilize some sort of local privilege escalation. That is it's own equally semi-sticky wicket.

The way I remember it was everyone was anticipating the Apple phone, but nobody knew what it would be. It wasn't like only visionaries had the concept.

I remember (back when Cingular was a thing) seeing the iTunes phone in a store, and thinking "really? ok, I guess.."

Now in restrospect, apparently the party line was it was a massive failure, because that's what everything is that isn't the largest success in history.

Self-hosting was going to have telemetry, which is simply a dealbreaker for many companies.

And it may still have it. I just don't trust GitLab's management anymore.
> ...I'm certainly on the side of the those with disability.

In your mind, is it possible to be on the side of those with the disability and yet still against the ADA?

Put another way, given the two concrete examples mentioned (UCB and Stanford) did actual people with actual disabilities gain greater access to the content that was taken offline (in order to comply with the ADA)? Lots of laws have good intentions and bad effects. I think we should judge them by their effects, not their intentions.

Thanks! So far, I’m the only member in my team. I don’t have tech constraints yet, but would prefer something for rapid Dev. I was hoping to get an option or two for rapid dev., like you said. Momentum and small wins are key for me at this juncture than picking up the absolute best option.
Ah, fair enough. So I suppose git's staging area has the additional benefit that you can stage some things and then shut your computer down and the staging will be there when you come back.

I have no idea whether tortoisehg remembers the state of what you've selected in its 'interactive commit' GUI, because I've only ever made those decisions when committing. Given I've been using it almost daily for about six years on a community project (i.e. not just linear commits by a single dev who doesn't need to care about anyone else), I think this is also evidence that a persistent staging area isn't super important.

No, it is not. We have been selling software for decades without telemetry and it worked just fine.

I am more than willing to help GitLab, but telemetry in a VCS is simply a red flag (even a legal impediment in many cases).

The number of times I have read an interesting title, clicked a link, and then been hit with a paywall is too damn high.

Even worse, are the "delayed" paywalls, where you are allowed to read the first paragraph, and then when you scroll down (thanks to the header and menu + first para taking up an entire screen) you're hit either with a cutoff asking you to subscribe, a full page splash screen telling you to pay $.

I personally think that on a news aggregation site, there needs to at the very least, be a tag or small indicator next to each submission that there is a paywall. Perhaps have two types of tags (differentiated by color?) where "soft" paywall are separated from "hard" paywalls (soft paywalls being ones you can easily get around in incognito or a browser extension etc.)
You do realize this is the government right? No one ever gets fired unless they commit a felony while on the job, and even that is dicey.
I don’t think hg has the concept of unnamed heads in any sort of acceptable manner. You can have 2 heads with the same branch name, which I suppose is called an “unnamed head” but your team will berate you if you force push an unnamed head. (You can’t push an unnamed head without force. Using force almost always means you shouldn’t do whatever you’re doing) when git encourages using ‘force’ I say a silent prayer
>but my assumption is a factory reset should remove EVERYTHING that didn't come on the phone put of the box

A simple proof that this isn't the case is the fact that factory resets do not revert your phone back to the same OS version as it came with out of the box and it does not download an OS image to install. The only device I know that does this is macbooks have a built in recovery which can be used to download a fresh OSX image and install that.

On an unrooted/unexploited phone a factory reset should remove every bit of data bad app has access to. On a rooted phone you can wipe everything by downloading the vendor image (Google supplies these but not all OEMs do) and then you can flash that over the entire phone which replaces everything on the storage.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, don't competitive pressures mean you implicitly pay for the sales tax you're not explicitly paying when you lease?

In my state (although not all) you get credit against sales tax for a trade-in. But it seems to me that's a primary reason why a dealer offers less on a trade-in than a private party would. Just because you're not paying sales tax doesn't mean you get the whole benefit.
>Why is an app able to display ads across the system

There is a permission on android called "Draw over other apps" which is disabled by default now when you install the app but the app can open a popup asking you to enable it which android warns you against accepting.

Yes its pretty bad but its not like any app can just draw adverts over the screen.

> rolling with that line of thinking, it seems that anyone who takes a job at a company is somehow involved with promoting that company's mission.

Yes, that is literally the meaning of working for a company. If the company created a job opening and hired a person, they did so because they have reason to believe that this employee will promote the company's mission.

As to your example, an accountant at Facebook is most definitely promoting the company's mission. I would argue that if a person is against the company's mission, then there is a serious ethical issue with them taking the job.
