Android Studio does or the emulator does?

If Android Studio does then I'd be more up in arms. For the emulator to do that, I'd assume it's just a matter of laziness on the part of the developers. The emulator probably just opens the audio junk at startup and doesn't bother with the rigamarole of opening and closing it as needed - it's a device emulator intended for development use, they probably don't expect it to be running constantly unattended on a developers workstation.

File a bug upstream, if it's closed with EWONTFIX, then break out the tinfoil hats and shout from the hill tops.
What really put us off was arriving after a long haul to a queue that filled the immigration hall, then proceeding to wait for two hours while the three desks (out of about 12) tried to process about three flights worth of people. That and the shoes thing, most other places don't have that.

It all may have changed, but until I hear otherwise (or that the TSA have decided to calm down) I'm happy with my choice.

Edit: As the other comment mentioned, this was also all just for a flight transfer.
I'm sorry you hurt your hearing. I know quite a few with tinnitus, and some of them are borderline suicidal with how horrible it is for them.

I doubt legislation with help. As a drummer from my early teens till mid 30s (some of that time in a partially successful band), and attender of thousands of shows, I KNEW concerts were too loud, and ALWAYS took earplugs (except once to a Weird Al show). I think I still suffer from hearing loss, especially with the amount of times I say, "huh" to my kids and wife.

So, from a position of possible mild hearing loss, I think personal responsibility is the only thing here. From wearing protection at shows, while using power tools, and I sometimes do it on the subway commuting. No one will look out for your hearing, but you.

Again, I'm sorry about your ears. I can't imagine how terrible it is, but having seen all the ways venues work, I doubt legislation will do shit.
Open Letter from DHH to Jeff Bezos
I enjoyed this, thanks!

I think they also nailed the music aspect of content creation. Whereas other platforms are actively hostile to users using unlicensed audio, TT licenses popular music which saves a boatload of effort on the content creation side and just makes it all more compelling to watch. Contrast that with takedown notices and little support for including sound at all.

The Na'vi Shaman by Disney is the best example.

Previous generations of animatronics lacked the fidelity of motion that this one has. Disney's experience with CG animation shows through here, which is animating with CG puppets.
Most Mastodon instances cover bills with a handful of supporters on Patreon. Centralizing is what racks up the big dollar figures. Even mastodon.social only cost about $280/month to run as of mid 2018.

https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Runni...

It's not necessary for everyone to pay if the topology is right. They could have joined the growing ActivityPub fediverse and set up a managed hosting thing the way one of the major Mastodon contributors did.

The centralized sites spend much of their money on marketing and making ad deals. You don't need that if the social network is a standard feature you bolt your software on to and don't depend on ads.
The report assumes a priori that an extradition threat was real, now we see Trump's DOJ did eventually file one, but he was hiding in the Embassy for years on a false pretext of an imaginary extradition to avoid facing rape charges. The rights of the rape victims to see justice weren't addressed or considered. The question of whether Assange was fleeing justice for rape wasn't ever seriously addressed but just waved away.
If you are going to take a stand say something worth taking a stand for. Provide some proof. Just saying that the liberals will not hear it will not gain any new listeners. Assuming that your audience is hostile and will not listen will just give you a hostile audience.

Where can I buy in?
There was an analyst at my old firm, a couple years older than me (he was 24 at the time). And in a period of 2 years he went from not knowing anything about finance or programming to becoming a partner at a new quant hedge fund. The one thing I noticed about him is that he was never, ever, okay with not understanding something. While other analysts wouldn’t dare touch any code or just accept the equations the senior quants gave them, he needed to know. The rate he got better at things was just incredible. And while he wasn’t dumb, he wasn’t a genius (at first) either. About the same level as all the other analysts (this isn’t a compliment). But by the time he left the firm, it was like his IQ jumped 30 points. He became very good at quant finance and pretty good at programming. He also worked incredibly hard.

Another thing I noticed about him was how curious he was about other people’s jobs: he learned from the devops guys, the DB admin, the developers, he went to sales meetings, chatted with accounting, everything. There was nothing that was too hard or too easy for him: he was there to learn it all. But to make it work since he spent 4 hours a day not actually doing his job, he had to work really fucking hard.

Anyways, observing this guy has changed my life. Throw your fixed mindset in the trash, it isn’t helping you. Respect everyone, be generous with your time. Make friends. And most importantly, never ever accept to not understand something.

Since adopting this guy’s work ethic and earnestness, my career trajectory has gone up very quickly. And while I wish I had started being like him earlier, I think it takes a lot of maturity or being a really special person to consciously dump your insecurities and feelings of superiority in the trash. The sky’s the limit and I truly believe that he’s going to be a billionaire one day. And the things that are gonna get him there are really not that special: anyone can do it.
Reddit is definitely closest to the old Usenet experience, but its search engine and filters leave something to be desired.

We have never seen F13 in a deal but they do seem like a valid alternative. Mirakl starts at $500k/year and minimum three years, and are pretty focused on existing offline retailers moving online and going marketplace, so they are pretty limited in who they can work with.

Our general feeling is that niche / values based aggregators are where the puck is going, as opposed to everyone being a worse version of Amazon, where people are shopping their values more often.

The other thing I would say, not to pick on any one of those offerings, is that we actually have a bunch of prebuilt seller apps to making onboarding easier. To our knowledge, that's unique, most of them just have an API and CSVs where as part of our product includes the seller side integration. Merely offering an API instead of EDI doesn't necessarily solve the problem, most of the sellers don't have ERPs or in-house IT at all so facing down JSON via API instead of X12 via EDI is equally impossible for them.
>Are there communities in tik tok where people from niche hobbies can share information and communicate? If I could join and find other serious aquarium hobbyists, for example, I may actually consider giving tik tok a try but I was under the impression that doesn't really exist or fit the use case for the app

Tik Tok doesn't have formal interest groups the way that reddit has subreddits, but there are definitely niche communities that congregate around hash tags. The big ones include visual and audio artists, and there are big pet communities there too. I haven't seen aquarium enthusiasts (mostly because that's not my niche), but I'm sure they're out there. Tik Tok is in the middle of a huge ferret craze because of this cute video of a dancing ferret [1] for example.

Sorry you are right, I refer to the 50 cent army as Chinese nationalists in general. Given that there is no way to literally verify, to me it’s all the same. My definition would be closer to “those who go out of the way to champion the ccp party line.” For example, going on a multi paragraph rant about the glories of the chinese communist party, or complete non sequiters.

So yes by absurd infiltration I’m talking about Chinese nationalists in general. Why not give a clear example? Because there is no verification of identity on YouTube or any social media
I 'm not sure this is the kind of project that JW should be spending his social creds/capital on.
it turns out significant amounts of what I did in the past overlaps significantly with ML now: for example, hyperparameter exploration. I created a system years ago to do exploration by fitting polynomial surfaces, finding predicted maxima, and exploring those areas. Also, many of the algorithms underlying the area I did my PhD research in (molecular dynamics) are very similar to gradient descent.
12% of women are tetrachromats in the sense that they have 4 pigments, but only a small minority of those are functional tetrachromat, where the 4th pigment is sufficiently shifted from L or M that it can actually pick up relevant information.

As the article notes, Jordan & al spent 20 years researching tetrachromacy before they found a functionally tetrachromat individual.
Well, just about any ML task needs people to prune and correct the training data.
> - He raped a girl in Sweden

He was just wanted for "inquiry" about the possible case. And some details of the case are here described, by the woman in whose apartment he slept, as organized by her:

"The statement records Miss A describing how Assange then released her arms and agreed to use a condom, but she told the police that at some stage Assange had "done something" with the condom that resulted in it becoming ripped, and ejaculated without withdrawing."

"When he was later interviewed by police in Stockholm, Assange agreed that he had had sex with Miss A but said he did not tear the condom, and that he was not aware that it had been torn. He told police that he had continued to sleep in Miss A's bed for the following week and she had never mentioned a torn condom."

Then, another miss "Miss W" some days later:

"However, during the night, they had both woken up and had sex at least once when "he agreed unwillingly to use a condom"." ... "Early the next morning, Miss W told police, she had gone to buy breakfast before getting back into bed and falling asleep beside Assange. She had awoken to find him having sex with her, she said, but when she asked whether he was wearing a condom he said no."

"In submissions to the Swedish courts, (Assange and his lawyers) have argued that Miss W took the initiative in contacting Assange, that on her own account she willingly engaged in sexual activity in a cinema and voluntarily took him to her flat where, she agrees, they had consensual sex. They say that she never indicated to Assange that she did not want to have sex with him. They also say that in a text message to a friend, she never suggested she had been raped and claimed only to have been "half asleep"."

Such nasty cases. The women "compared their impressions" (they were it seems friends) and then went to police, once he was away. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange...

Wow, this could be huge. My tinnitus is mild and generally is only audible in quiet situations with small bouts where it gets really loud. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a former co-worker committed suicide because he could not continue life with such debilitating tinnitus.

This looks a lot like a X0XB0X with better case design and a battery. Which is pretty nice. The 4-Pole OTA filter is the Roland TB-303 one that people seem to like, again, like the x0xb0x. Hmmm. I hope they are giving credit where its due.
Agreed. Procedures are like products. From a hospital administrator's perspective, you should have a good idea of your cost of goods sold for standard procedures. Lipid panel costs $X in materials (needles, vials, bandages), $Y in cost of the siemens equipment that does the test, $Z in labor cost to draw the blood, etc.

If the administrator knows the COGS for each procedure, test, minute per consult per professional, etc. then quoting and billing should be much simpler than any type of hourly based quote work.

The only time there would be a parallel would be if some doctor deliberated on a diagnosis for a long time. Most of the time though it's a quick collection of symptoms and then diagnosis or trial and error based on those symptoms. Maybe in some surgeries that have more complications than usual I could see a parallel to hourly work.
Oh, please tell me how is burning down businesses or smashing public transportation or vandalize government buildings "defend yourself against violence".
You talk as if every person in every developing country is desperately trying to leave, which is absurd.

> Imagine if Elon wasn't smoking pot, but mentioned he was just drinking a ton of coffee to work longer hours. Boss works 18 hours a day, which suggests that his workers might want to do the same

I doubt if Musk had said "I work 18 hour days and drink 18 cups of coffee every day", NASA would have cared. The bureaucracy has a list of things they care about. Marijuana is on that list. I don't believe overwork and excessive coffee consumption are.
That is such an overblown issue unless you're coming from a spammer network or trying to use something like a VPS to send mail.

Yes it's definitely more expensive although often offset by who is taking the margin on the order. When you average it out it ends up being 5-10% of retail for shipping depending on the vertical which often gets priced in by sellers.

OK...I can see where you're coming from.

The pathname thing doesn't bother me probably because the quoting and escaping is muscle memory after 30 years, but fair point and an easy source of sometime hard to find mistakes.

The 11th file thing as pointed out below can be worked around easily, but yeah mixing implicit and explicit rules isn't 'elegant'. Dunno know if 'subclassing' the rule or whatever is the answer; maybe if there's a lot of exceptions. Interesting to think about.

I think the answer to your last example is one of 1) 'Unix philosophy' the problem by invoking separate scripts/tools to set things up for what 'make' expects so you get the result you want ("if the checksum of the source file changes, 'touch' it to make sure it gets rebuilt" or something) or 2) maybe 'make' isn't the right tool, because it's definitely not always the right tool.

Because that's really the key: right tool, and 'it's old' by itself is rarely the reason not to use a tool.

They tend to use ~10x the memory that seems reasonable—generous, even—for what they're doing, and periodically misbehave and decide to eat tons of cycles continuously for no obvious reason, in a way native apps don't, or at least not so frequently and nigh-universally.

Sure, partial counterexample in VSCode, but then there's all the others.

I know almost nothing about it, but there’s some kind of early alpha or beta testing going on. I don’t believe there’s much of an official “word” at all, let alone on ETA.
Always-on hotword recognition is a normal thing phones do. Even if the emulator is only requesting mic access when an app uses it, that would still actually be "basically always" unless you are using a no-Google image. Which isn't the recommended image.

Ariba is definitely a funny one. Our sense is that some of these trade networks are immortal. That said, the experience has to get better, and if it does, more trade happens, so it's by no means zero sum. The other thought I have is that we're quite sure being tied to a particular "island" is not optimal, it's better to be independent and let the "islands" build the functionality buyers and sellers want in their business. We want to stay a bridge, and stay agnostic.

Not too much, unless you are completely new to server environments and networking.

You'll likely experience security breaches rolling your own crypto unless you are an expert in cryptology.

You'll also experience security breaches running your own email server if you also don't know what you're doing, but it's far easier to learn what it takes to configure an email server correctly from a security perspective than rolling your own crypto.

The bigger problems with running your own email server is NAT/CGNAT, ISP restrictions, and the fact that the big players will still ignore you due to only caring about the other big players.

I doubt that was the case. Looking at HL2 now, with all those other FPS games that built up upon what HL2 introduced, of course it doesn't look that impressive. But at the time, it felt like it came from the future. The whole physics gameplay aspect was pretty much unprecedented at that time, especially with how seamless and integral it felt. It didn't feel forced or bolted-on at all.

A good analogy in other media would be Citizen Kane (movies), NWA (music), or Akira (japanese animation). Neither of those would garner mass praise if they were released today, but they were first of a kind and paved the way for moving their respective medium forward.

No, an android phone is expected to be powered on and used constantly by random users. A device emulator bundled with a developer suite is an entirely different context. The charitable assumption here is just that laziness and deadlines prevailed, it opens it once and leaves it open, they don't expect the emulator to be run constantly, and it's expected that the code your emulator is running is what you're developing, the burden of security is quite low when it comes to developer's tools, there's a tremendous amount of implied trust.

What's your relationship with carriers? I spent a bit of time with "Large E-commerce company" We would have 3rd party sellers not delivering on time (or sometimes not delivering at all). They would claim FedEx/UPS was late or FedEx/UPS would claim it was on time but the 3rd party shipped with a different account than "Large E-commerce Company." It was a big headache for the people ensuring delivery and bad customer experience. It sounds like you want to sit as a sort of middle layer between sellers and supplies to ensure data quality. (is that correct?) If so, do you plan to integrate with carriers or how do you plan to address that.
After reading all these comments and too got rid of my fitbitt because the concerns are very genuine.

The possibility of a false flag to start a war doesn't seem so outlandish when you consider the context of the era. Only a few years earlier you had the U.S. Department of Defense proposing plans to carry out terrorist attacks on American soil and blame the Cubans for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Another example from the same era was the second Gulf of Tonkin incident which lead to the Vietnam War. In the 2000's Robert McNamara finally admitted the second incident never happened.
