I've owned a number of OnePlus phones - 3 or 4 at this point - and am tapping this post out on a new OP7 Pro. I really like the hardware, and no device has ever felt poorly made or unfinished, nor have they broken down on me. OS updates are relatively fast for a non-Google manufacturer, too, though they could be faster. The price has been creeping up as the rest of the market gets more premium, but even this new flagship phone is significantly cheaper than an equivalent iPhone.

I'm resigned to OP beaming everything I do to PLA military intelligence or whatever, but frankly I don't do much on my phone anyway besides surf and YouTube.

Customer service has been great whenever I've needed it, which hasn't been much.
In guessing they will just get another round of investment when running an illegal taxi business at scale...I mean disrupting. Oh well I don't mind the subsided rides. The drivers have been very pleasant and I'll hate going back to cabs when this came party ends
How does a wiki-version of social media even work?

>…a platform to share authentic news with productive discussions and better connections.

>Users will be asked to join different communities after signing up on the site and it ranges from politics to technology including niche topics like beekeeping.

Okay, it seems like regular social media, except the circulated news portion is able to be edited wiki-style? Since they rely on donations it won't also be selling off your data as a bonus. Sounds pretty cool.
Yea but even if some cases are net beneficial, part of the whole "rule of law" thing is to avoid that.
Were you going to NYC (or anywhere in NY)? NY and NJ do not have a reciprocity agreement, so taxis from NYC are allowed to charge 2x the fare between NYC and EWR and the same for NJ taxis to NYC. Uber/Lyft can pickup / dropoff in either state and don't appear to operate under the same restrictions.

This must mostly be penalties for not paying any taxes for 4 years. Unemployment in New Jersey is taxed at 0.3825% of the first 34,400$ of income so it cap’s at 132$/employee per year. The other tax is uncapped but at ~1/9th the rate.

Nationwide Walmart has 2,300,000 US employees. If they are paying an average of 150$ each nation wide on similar taxes that’s 345 million per year. However, I doubt even 20 million of that is in New Jersey.
That's not quite a closed system, though. And I'd expect cleaning the water gets harder the more sewage is in it. Besides, a lot of places get their water from underground, which isn't always so easily replenished.
I am a Matlab person, among other tools as well. I do something of the sort that you suggested in your second paragraph to plot time-varying diagrams by generating successive frames and then making a gif.

Matlab can also do some very nice colormap stuff. Just wish there was a method with less friction!
Wow, thanks for this wake-up call! I had checked localstack + Terraform combo some time ago and I don’t recall that option being there. Time to refresh my knowledge on this.
I recommend a combination of titan-data.io and liquibase.org. Liquibase allows you to create your table definitions as a part of your version control. Titan allows you to version your database and share different data states. With this setup, you can test schema changes against different data sets easily. The titan command are very git-like.
as long as there is a penny to be made, someone will make it. If Uber leaves another will fill the gap. I don't feel that regulation generally stifles business, only margins.
Is there a way to NOT get that "fix"? I don't care for security, I prefer performance.
A magic kernel switch to not load new microcode? Or a switch in my distro (Debian)?
Something similar to `mitigations=off` in current kernels.
> 1) Chargebacks -- people chargeback the shit out of these kinds of transactions.

So perhaps offer a payment system without chargebacks? Direct bank transfers also do not offer chargebacks and people use them for payment for goods and services.
Seems for me every driver works for both Lyft and Uber
I went the Hangouts+pure data plan route, 10 bucks per month and I've had spam filtering and a single and/IM/video call/voice call/phone call account available on any device I sign into regardless if my phone was turned off 3 states over or not.

It sucks they are dropping it and there is nothing like this experience available. Even Apple requires pairing to a phone (that is actively online) to send SMS.
I can only see one scenario where there would be a need to depose the Bolivian government in the short-term as the lithium isn't currently being mined. That would be if they were planning on giving a Chinese company a 50-100 year exclusive mining lease, possibly as part of a belt and road deal.

While production would mostly go to China it could still affect global demand and prices and give China a lot of leverage in the lithium market.
Total pension liability (from your numbers): 133.5 billion
There are 12.80 million people in Illinois, so the per-person liability is $10429
A typical pension is paid out over the course of about 20 years. The liability per person per year is $521

Put differently: the pension liability per year is 6.675 billion. Illinois rakes in about $45 billion per year in taxes.

That's at most "awkward" to handle and at best "easy" and possibly even trivial.
Only in parts of the world where inequality is high.
Do remember that Meltdown and Spectre affected literally everyone else in the industry (including POWER, ARM, and SPARC) and it's only by chance that AMD's branch predictor happens to be relatively difficult to train to follow a predictable path (which is a necessary condition for some of these exploits). Intel isn't cheating any more than anyone else, AMD got lucky.

Cascade Lake and the latest Coffee Lake (and Comet Lake) steppings have hardware mitigations for all the previously known exploits (although there is a new batch) including some for which AMD still requires software mitigations themselves (Spectre V2).
In my book, if you can't determine the price for your service, you aren't a contractor, pure and simple. Uber determines the rates, sets their fees, supplies the clients, and has rules about how many times you can skip/pass on choosing to accept a fare. Uber basically controls every aspect of the entire process but let's people choose when they want to work. That "benefit" is thrown out to drivers so that Uber can try to claim they are "contractors" because they can choose when to work. I don't think that should be the only test - and for the states that have rules on how to define such things, most of them do not have that as the only test. Plus, I work for a large corporation and there are salaried people here who choose when to work and when not to work. Mostly the sales team than anyone else but it definitely exists. Similar story for real estate agents, financial planners and investment managers, etc. They are usually salaried employees of a firm who can set their own hours.
What a pointless comment. It's just a bunch of sarcasm with no information. I was doing part time delivery while freelancing a couple years ago. Please post something substantive not this junk.
> That said I feel like we're going into this weird place where you have to have a cell phone even though every day i feel like wanting to have one less and less.

I hear you. I reached that place a couple of years ago.

My current smartphone probably has 2 or 3 years of life left in it, so I'm considering that as a deadline for coming up with an alternate plan. In thinking about it, the main thing I like about having a smartphone is having a personal computer in my pocket. So...

First, I badly want out of the Android ecosystem, so I going to carry a real pocket computer that runs real Linux. That will be my primary device.

I'll supplement that with the dumbest feature phone that I can find that will allow tethering data connections, and use that for texting, backup internet access, and emergency phone calls.

It's not going phoneless, but it's as close to that as I can get without missing out on functionality that matters to me.

Yes, but because of "the suck" of web it's in some ways in a dismal state and that affects users. We can have only a small number of browsers that are well maintained; browsing is resource-intensive; web is extremely inaccessible to people with disabilities; web is notorious for security problems; fingerprinting can be seen as a side-effect of bad design; web requires a lot of man-hours to develop and maintain, like you mentioned; etc. The list seems endless.
Crazy love React, but Gatsby has just some strange air about it. Really tried to like but can't - something tells me there's a huge red flag hidden...
why would not working for someone preclude you from having an opinion about that companies questionable business practices?

but hey, it's easier to sleep at night when you just dismiss opposing opinions due to their lack of the exact same life experience as you?
I’ve used non-Google devices most of the time, now trying out an iPhone.

Just did a factory reset and restore via iCloud. My fear of loosing my phone, incomplete backups and messed up restore is gone. Works.

Might be possible with Google phones, too. For all the others it’s just messy.

(I‘d agree with you, until I tried it three weeks ago. Working with computers all day, I need others to take care of my personal and pocket computers...)
Not so much NIMBY/regulation as lack of good sites onshore. Low efficiency sites effectively increase the cost.

Additionally, a lot of densely populate coastal areas are populated quite a ways inland. You need open space around the big wind turbines for safety reasons - farmland is best.
LOL; what problem domain? We've not talked about any specific situation - which is why you're wrong; you assume far too much. I was attempting to enlighten you a little, but after a few redeliveries, it seems it's gone to DLQ.
Just created a free account, it didn't ask for anything other than a desired email and password. The recovery email was optional. It does ask for an existing email to verify the account. It accepted my Gmail address.

> And even once it's all done, you take an efficiency hit because no one's roof will be at the ideal angle the way panels installed at ground level can be.

Also, a lot of ground level panels are on single-axis trackers, at least in my country, which boosts efficiency even more.
I've not provided my moral stance. Engage with what I actually said. For example, you might claim you are personally acquainted with porn actresses who lead healthy and productive lives. Or you might cite research showing they are less likely to abuse elicit recreational drugs, pursue psychiatric intervention, have histories of traumatic abuse, or commit suicide. Or you might discuss the various motivations that might lead one into the porn industry under ideal conditions.

I don't understand the preoccupation with my morals, whatever they're imagined to be.
This ^ x 100.
I won't recommend anything. The p/e is too bad to recommend it, Warren Buffet would think I'm a fool :p

But I do think that AMD has enough space too grow the next year:

- servers

- laptops

- desktops ( OEM )

And I'm curious if their video card line-up will be as good as their CPU line-up.

Intel had 16 billion revenue in 2018. My guess is they will take a lot of that the coming years.
they are using electric charge to move plasma particles around, and a magnetic field to enclose the charged electrodes and protect them from the plasma.

the electrode setup was a concentric ring setup so it was simpler than a spherical setup like a fusor kind of device

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell

the most common fusion concepts nowadays involve magnetic enclosure and or compression, of plasma, and electric charge based acceleration of the plasma.
Merkaartor 0.18.4 released – Qt5-based OpenStreetMap editor
This article made me aware of how few progress bars I am actually aware of nowadays. There are some, but they finish quite quickly. The slowest one would probably be when IntelliJ is indexing.

Reminds me of all the times when I had to put the cursor at the edge of the progress bar, just to see if it was actually moving or if an installer just got stuck :D

edit: express myself better :)
I don't think you understand what is actually going on under the hood here, at all. Methods are member functions of a class, and must be invoked on an object.

someInstance.foo()

When invoking a method from within the class, you still need a reference to the object the method will be invoked on. In python, the reference is passed implicitly as the first argument, and usually called self. That has nothing to do with the method name or signature itself, and calling the method self.foo() would result in calling it like

someInstance.self.foo()

for cases when you aren't referencing the function from within the class, which would be even more confusing.
One doesn't even need to build utility scale nuclear power plants. There is a better option now - SMRs which can be mass produced, quailty checked and incrementally improved in a factory. Install 10…12 x 60 MWe modules in a single setting and one can replace a 700 MWe utility size reactor. Refueling downtime also has less impact because one only has to refuel one module at a time.
One could see this as a push to incentivize the development of a very configurable analog front end for device to device communication. If it were intentional, that is.
Small startups doing expensive manufacturing in the face of existing industrial-grade competition will always have a hard time finding funding, because the risk/reward ratio sucks.
Because of the amount of work involved in porting my existing Python code. Python 3 doesn't offer any advantages that matter to me, so that's a lot of effort for little gain.

What would my job be? Coding in COBOL all day?

I would have money to go on fancy ski trips, golf every weekend, eat fancy dinners, hike in exotic places. I could drive my dream car, etc.. etc.. I would also be able to retire early.

There are definitely many non-computer related hobbies to keep me interested.
> I once called 4x and was told [a taxi] was coming - falsely

Same deal in Pittsburgh, though I only called 2x on the first instance and 1x on the second. Then I stopped using taxis unless forced.

> credit card machine "broken"

This happened twice last week to me in SoCal and seems to happen about 50% of the time I use taxis.
I think they are night and day. The amount of engagement that video games demand on the brain makes them completely different. I enjoy documentaries, but otherwise find television insanely boring and that it tends to make people dull, unlike video games.

For what it's worth, I think there is more than one variable to glasses comfort.

Weight: some glasses are very heavy and the pressures the pads make on the nose are too high for comfort.

Pad angle: The nose pads should sit flatly on the skin of the nose. If the pads are angled relative to the skin, the edge of the pad digs into the skin.

Skin moisture: sweaty skin leads to overgrowth of bacteria under the nose pads.

Earwing curvature: Where the ear wing curves around the ear must be measured properly, both to avoid putting undue pressure on the ear cartilage (too tight) and the keep the glasses from moving around too much (too loose).

Earwing Twist: For want of a better term. Everybody's ears are slightly different in the position on the head. That means that your earwings might need to be angled away from the eyes differently. (If you put the spectacles, opened up, on a flat surface like a table, does one earwing hang above the surface instead of both earwings resting on the table.)

Bifocal Vertical position: If the bifocal transition is not at the correct level, you may find yourself holding your head at an angle which is not particularly comfortable.

You'll most likely find that your optometrist can make the most difference to your comfort. A good optometrist will spend quite a bit of time getting all the options correct.

Once again, for what it's worth, I find that women are more likely to spend the extra time to get the job done properly than men will.
Calling Sex Workers 'Models' is kinda rich.
Server, desktop, laptop and video cards.

Lots of room if they break Intel's monopoly though.

Intel had 16 billion revenue in 2018 and AMD "profits" from TSMC and their clients ( eg. Apple, Nvidia,... )

In the server market, it seems that they are partially breaking Intel's monopoly. Today's news in Intel won't change that perspective. P/e is also a bad ratio if a company invests a lot.

But yeah, a lot of hype on the stock.

Intel is keep getting hit hard though. Benchmarks, security issues, delays, failing at 7-10nm. They are currently still holding the monopoly though.
Nvidia Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal 2020
In the context of Uber vs NJ, the drivers are already remitting taxes as contractors. The $650M demand from the state isn't a driver initiative with them demanding "Uber needs to pay more taxes.." it's the state saying "What we've collected from drivers isn't enough and we want more from Uber.."
Another great example of the government mafia stifling innovation and trying to extort and rob everyone at every opportunity. Government is the big iron ball attached to our foot holding us all back.
HTML custom elements (basis for web components) are intended for things that should be added to DOM. Using it for any other purpose is probably a misuse.

This is true. But, I think he means syntactically you can make jumps from one dbms to another without much of a fuss. Obviously there are non-language features but, that is not what is being discussed here.
I guess Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (or CM3+) was close to the sweetspot in terms of thermal management vs performance tradeoffs, for many applications. Unless you really need more RAM or higher USB speed.

I hope the next two main steps for the next Raspberry Pi (4+ or 5?) and the corresponding compute module will be:

a) including a SATA controller (SD cards are not... ideal.)

b) a more power-efficent node

Ok, thanks, but it doesn't change that it's an unwanted expense and, the worst part, require new training.

The taxi analogy isn't the same. The rates are being set by the local government, not some non-government third-party whom they work with like perhaps the people who actually own the medallions (most are loaned out) or the people who lease out usage of the vehicles, etc. If those places were setting rates on what could be charged then I'd say there's an argument to be made. Also, let's not forget why the government put in those rules on setting the rates in the first place - consumer protection. Cabbies were routinely ripping people off.

Furthermore, it's not just one thing. It's a set of criteria/tests that for certain states like CA and NJ are defined in the law. Taken in aggregate and not just on one single characteristic of the employment a determination can be made.
I had high hopes for Cuckoo Cycle PoW, but it turns it cannot be scaled linearly, or even at all predictably.

It's more than that. The 90% benefit greatly from the openess too. All the @gmail.com can talk to @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com or @whatever.com. Try to get your whatsapp to talk to my telegram app or some other chat app.

It's a pain to don't have whatsapp and only a small inconvenience for whatsapp-users to have to deal with somebody like me. But it's my way to point out what is broken about chat apps.

Exactly. It's just a model of how to piss away money and look bad doing it. Haha.
There are well-established benefits of CBD use in some patients covering a wide variety of symptoms, but pushing skin care pseudoscience is wrong. Isolated evidence like that of anti-inflammatory effects is not the same as an extensive clinical trial. This is why we need an actual healthcare system: to allow people to see doctors rather than falling victim to the junk CBD products that this person is excited to fund.
Can you please expand or refute on my comment above. (User jacobush.)
We're talking about cloud providers here, not pharmaceutical or insurance providers. There are different levels of interaction required to accomplish different operational objectives. Giving a cloud provider this sort of access is, as I said initially, highly irregular. There is just not that same level of collaboration needed with your cloud provider.

Just as a for instance, there are very good operational reasons on your side that pharmaceutical partners need the data to be reasonably certain that the 1000 doses of highly controlled substance X that they previously sent to you, or distributed on your behalf, were administered to people who both required the medication, and who actually exist. That pharmaceutical partner needs to have the ability to be certain of this prior to sending you, or distributing for you, the 10000 additional doses you are all of a sudden requesting.

By contrast, there is no operational reason on your side that a cloud provider needs to know the names and addresses of the patients in your database.

Personally, I don't see the need to migrate entire code bases if there is no need. I think that much is obvious. Perhaps the focus should be put onto pivoting instead. That way it doesn't leave your dev team on the hook to go back and change existing code bases in python 2.
