Re-read the comment more carefully - "it's called marketing you should look into it" means you spend money to promote the app so it gets downloaded, ("and then people hear about your app and go download it"), and potentially reviewed by those users. Nowhere does it state that they paid money for any reviews.

And doing marketing is not a violation of any agreements, including the Apple one you pointlessly quoted.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't know about Kinto. Thanks for the link!

Kinto seems, is in some ways, the opposite design approach to Replicache. Replicache answers the question: I have this existing web service with a whole complex backend stack, how do I make it work offline-first?

Kinto answers the question: I have this website, and I don't want a backend stack. Where can I store data and have it work offline-first?

I think the problem Kinto is solving is also important, thanks for sharing it.

The problem is that the majority of the robocalls come from India [as per the article], the only thing that would get the foreign Government to deal with it is threatening sanctions which most likely isn't going to happen. The lawsuit here targets a few select entities, but there are many more and the ones mentioned in the suit could disintegrate and pop back up tomorrow under different names.

*"marketing" != paying for reviews, as this joecool1029 seems to assume.
I always wonder if that channel is real or fake. I swear I've heard the same scammer more than once and I don't see why the scammers wouldn't check to see if they're running in a VM as soon as they get remote access.
> I've never understood the purpose of a touch-screen on a laptop

Me neither BUT I noticed both my Dad and a friend try to touch my laptop screen when I was showing them something. They did so in a way that clearly they weren't even thinking about it and they just expected it to work, especially for scrolling.

People's constant use of phones, tablets and newer windows portables that support touch are changing people's expectations. People who primarily use the keyboard + touchpad/mouse are soon to be a minority (if the are not already when the wide world is considered).

This is a big problem. To address the country’s monumental housing crisis and also become less automobile- and carbon-dependent, America needs to densify its job-rich metro areas so that more people can afford to live there and walk, bike and take public transit to get to work and back. According to a much-cited report by the McKinsey Global Institute, California is 3.5 million houses short. Housing shortages exacerbate home prices and homelessness and cause all sorts of other ripple effects on commute times, economic productivity, health and family life.

But opposition to density has only stiffened as the gulf widens between the 1 percent and everyone else. Well-to-do NIMBYs, congenitally opposed to new developments, have lately been joined by anti-displacement tenant activists — advocates for poor and working-class residents who might ordinarily want more housing but have come to fear that nearly all development brings gentrification that prices the most vulnerable out of neighborhoods. In cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Boston, this new alliance means even initiatives promising some subsidized housing have become lines in the sand.

Interesting bedfellows.

In NYC the anti-gentrification crowd currently has the upper hand and is derailing up-zoning and other initiatives. It sounds like, in California there are the NIMBYs as well as the anti-gentrification crowd.
> suppose one mugging gets you $100 ... cost of keeping someone in prison ... around ~$630 per week

These aren't useful numbers to compare. Even if the criminal gained zero material value from his crime (say he just enjoys setting cars on fire) the rest of society may be willing to spend a small fortune to stop him from doing so. Even a completely cold-blooded insurance company would be willing to spend money on that.
Even if you do the branchiest thing possible in the source, no bitwise or "looks cmov-y" stuff, all compilers that matter will do this without a branch with optimization on:

https://godbolt.org/z/XCBGYW

Only icc vectorizes this at -O2 (still branchless, of course), but clang and gcc vectorize it if you go to -O3.
You're really fixated on your hypothetical habitual mugger. By appealing to some unquantifiable suffering on the part of the victim, you seem to want readers to accept an implicit claim that any cost to imprison a person, for any duration, under any conditions must be acceptable and justified.

Prisoners also are victims, and suffer trauma. It seems roughly 1/5 male inmates are assaulted by guards, and roughly the same number are assaulted by other prisoners. And then there's sexual assault, which has glaring gaps in reporting.

I think there's an obvious question we should be asking here -- when does incarceration cause more violence than it prevents?

In theory you are right, in practice threatened and endangered species may not have the population diversity for selective pressure to outpace population decline.
Oh hell yeah. I ran Rockbox on my Sansa Fuze from the ages of 14-18 because my parents restricted my computer time. There were tons of games on that thing. I spent hundreds of hours playing Doom and Gameboy/Gameboy Color games on road trips and in my bedroom. So much so that I ground down the middle button with my thumb to the point where it stopped working... did I mention how hard it is to play Doom on a 2.5 inch screen?

Rockbox is a really, really cool project, and it's unfortunate that the age of MP3 players is basically over. I guess the spirit sort of lives on in the Android ecosystem but there was something so incredible about getting half of the functionality on a device a tenth as powerful.
> [...] that drinking a lot of water make the difference for my general health [...]

Anything that you eat or drink will affect your "general health"; from your gut bacteria to the pores on your skin. Water and caffeine-free herbal loose-leaf green are both very healthy in this regard.

Others have mentioned diet, sleeping, stress management, eating lots of fruits/veggies.

I'll add: Get regular, consistent, intensive exercise. Preferably something that targets your larger muscles (your legs/glutes) and your core. Doesn't matter what it is. Some people swear by Rippetoe's Starting Strength, but you choose what you like.

"Immune system" is a holistic term. Making sure your heart is healthy and strong, your bones are healthy, your gut is healthy, and so on, all contributes to your immune system.

Supplements are supplements. They're nice to have but they can't replace a diet that you can depend on every day. And they can't replace breaking a sweat during exercise either.
By "bullshit argument" I mean specifically that this argument is not presented in good faith. Rather it is used to obfuscate or avoid engaging with the issues at hand. At least, that is how it comes from corporate entities etc. From individuals I expect it is more a category error.

Would you have preferred “disingenuous " ?
For all intents and purposes, Knuth has. He's certainly more careful than most but I don't think he's unique among all of humanity here.
That's great and all, but you'd create a host of new bugs unrelated to safety with a pile of new code in a largely unfamiliar language (for the openbsd devs, anyways).

>refusing [to develop skills] to whom?

Not sure what's the point of confusion here, but the way I understood the question, my answer is "to themselves". I don't get how one can develop skills "to anyone else", but themselves, unless we are talking about teaching or mentoring or something similar.

The reason you don't hear that anymore is not because there was no problem, but because the problem has been fixed by the implementation of the Montreal protocol. The ozon layer has been gradually recovering ever since.

Viruses really aren't an issue if you're (1) keeping your software up to date, and (2) aren't an idiot while browsing the internet. Modern browsers are very secure. Modern Windows is also very secure. I'd expect that ARM-based Windows is even less of a target.
It certainly improves the practical outcome; replicating layers between nodes in a rack/datacenter is way faster than pulling it down 20x from one external upstream.
I've tested both and, as of a few years ago, the Surface was still laggier than the Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro. I bought the pro and a pencil just for digital drawing/painting, and any perceivable lag is a killer. I'd been waiting decades for something like this.
Open-source changes from outside the core contributors are notoriously hard to get approved. There is usually politics in play. For instance, why is there not an easy way to copy a link to subsections?

We see Alpine used in production less than most people think. People usually feel more comfortable writing a Dockerfile based on Debian or Ubuntu because those are what they're familiar with. In most cases it's worth the one-time cost of pulling the bigger base image, but it all depends on the use case.

Another common reason for large images is the Nvidia ecosystem. Most of the images that Nvidia publish can get close to 1GB. However, these should only need to be pulled to devices once until you need to upgrade the base image.
Just because we avoided some disasters (WW3) and acted globally to prevent others (ozone hole) doesn't mean they weren't real issues with potentially disastrous consequences. In fact we should be looking at how we avoided some of those outcomes and learn from them. The ozone hole is particularly illustrative because of it's similarity to today's problem with CO2.

> Or maybe it's the fact I'm Canadian and we generally push back against extremism, alarmism, most isms really.

How about other forms of alarmism, the reducing use of fossil fuels will destroy our way of life, collapse the economy, etc? I see a lot of people worried about "climate alarmism" but they never seem to be concerned about there own alarmsism.

> and I've heard that New York will be underwater and all the glaciers will be gone by 2020

Citation please? I see this claim frequently yet either no citations are provided or they rely on the readers lack of comprehension, memory or both. The alarmisim is probably in your head.

As for calling it "too acidic", that's fairly obviously more understandable for the lay reader than "not basic enough" would be.

Also, I think nerds just sometimes hate admitting they like a thing that is a caricature of themselves. I hate to admit it, but I really liked Hackers, and thought it had a lot of relevant nerd stuff going on it, ditto on The Matrix :)
People carry out muggings with the threat of harming and killing people. A mugging isn’t a mugging unless the person is willing to back up and sometimes follow through with their threats. The punishment for them is high because sometimes people die.

Muggings without violence or threats are called pickpocketing. Penalties are far less severe. If penalties for mugging/robberies were lowered to pick pocketing levels, Paris would have muggers in every train and far fewer pickpockets.
No, Chrome and Firefox nowadays don’t allow extensions to be automatically installed and enabled. Any extensions running were specifically enabled by the user at some point.

I know this because I helped someone install McAfee antivirus a few days ago. Both Chrome and Firefox showed a small, non-modal popover on the next launch saying that an extension had tried to install itself. The popover contained two buttons, one for enabling the extension and one for keeping it disabled (Chrome) or uninstalling it (Firefox). If you never clicked inside the popover (as many alert-blind users might do), the extension would stay disabled.

The title is a little inaccurate (and dismissive), the mystery isn't about how Polynesian navigation worked - the mystery has more to do with the DNA origins of the people of Polynesian.

I really recommend reading the story of Tupia to learn more about how Polynesian Navigation actually worked. He was a priest and navigator who joined James Cook's ship and essentially helped him discover many more islands than they ever would. It also shows how much of a dick James was in the end.

How do you enforce that with how disposable DIDs are?

It is trivially easy to acquire a block of numbers from any number of sources with easily falsifiable information, connect them to a SIP application to robocall/robotext victims using easily falsifiable CID data and disappear just as trivially.

Programmatic voice via SIP trunking only makes this worse-not critiquing services like Twilio, Plivo or Telnyx, just highlighting one of the unfortunate risks the technology available to us enables.

CID enforcement is a grand idea but I have no clue how you'd actually accomplish it.
LTV for an Apple customer buying AppleTV+ and iCloud is let's say in the thousands.

The profit margin for selling a MacBook Pro or Mac Pro ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.

So it is always going to be more profitable for them to sell hardware than software or internet services.

But it's irrelevant because they can just do both. Hence why there are both a products and services company not one or the other.

I pay for the 2TB tier, find it affordable as a business expense and that it definitely alleviates personal stress - one less thing to worry about. That they've positioned themselves with a storage offering at a time when people are taking larger photos and videos is clever by them, but I find it convenient enough to overlook. I might grumble if I was forever pushing up against the next tier, but 2TB has been fine.
I was excited when the iPad was first released, bought one, and to my surprise I found I didn't have any regular use for it, and sold it.

I was simply answering with the same convoluted wording that was used in your previous question.

I still have no idea what you mean by your question or what's your point of confusion. In my original comment, I said that some smart people "refuse to develop social skills". How is this confusing at all? This is just a simple example of using that word in a context of "someone refusing to do something".
