On the topic of Google 2FA, why does it to confirm a number on my phone when I use it to authenticate? I have to pick one of three numbers. That's only a 1/3 chance of detecting that it went to the wrong phone somehow.
This seems to be grossly miscalculated--at least for Italy.

No idea how these prices are calculated, but when I was still in Italy, I paid $15/mo. and only had 2GB. In contrast, here in Poland I pay $6/mo. and I get 20GB.

Also, I've never seen an infographic as confusing as this one.

I code both ways simultaneously.

I'm interested in what types I need to solve my business problem. The rest of it, I don't care. The reason I care about the types I need for my business problem is that I don't want my code doing something that it shouldn't: DDD-style coding allows me to code in such a way that it's impossible for the program to exist in a state that's invalid. That's a great time-saver. Other than that, polymorphic coding FTW.

+1 Netguard. It's an essential app, along with Firefox with ad-blocking add-ons.

Netguard by the same dev behind Xpirvacy, which provides dummy data to apps that try to send back all sorts of unique identifiers to the mothership (+apps like facebook).

Most popular apps call facebook IPs at launch, along with other analytics services. It's quite disgusting.

Facebook Said to Consider Banning Political Ads
> My understanding is Cleese was making a blanket argument against what he perceives as "Political Correctness". I reject that blanket argument.

Is it possible that he wasn't making a blanket argument?

Did you make a blanket argument?

> I also think it's not ad hominem to point out that Cleese is a borderline, if not outright, racist.

Is that so?

a) What definition are you using for the words "is" and "racist"?

b) How do you know your understanding is accurate (consistent with his actual beliefs)?

> but understanding Cleese's intent is part of the process of evaluating his argument

Agreed. How is it that you (seem to) know Cleese's intent? By what mechanism?

> in the last paragraph, I said "especially when those emotions are justified"; perhaps just "when those emotions are justified"

> However, as long as the speaker makes it clear they are not condemning Chinese people but rather Communism as practiced in China (or, tangentially, Communism as practiced/preached anywhere), I don't think a negative emotional reaction would be accurate.

That's the thing though, isn't it? Whether or not behavior of both parties is "justified".

In the 2nd statement ("as long as the speaker makes it clear...I don't think a negative emotional reaction would be accurate.")

So, if the person doesn't make it clear, for whatever reason, is it therefore accurate/rational/justified to assume the worst interpretation? If so, is the right to assume the worst extended only to certain individuals, while others must keep opinions to themselves, otherwise they will be branded a racist (the accuracy of that charge being irrelevant, if I'm not misunderstanding)? And what specific attribute(s) of a person might we examine in order to determine who has this right and who does not?

I remember reading a story on here of a former Mormon who advertised only to the email addresses of their still-Mormon family.

This kind of power has some scary implications, and it is precisely what made Facebook turn into an advertising giant.

The fact that they’ve left these systems largely in place after watching the damage they’ve caused means facebook execs think changing these systems would be a financial disaster.

Edit: changed ambiguous wording.

Yes, the compromise was to say all states are equal which is a ridiculous idea. I just don’t see a better way though. How does the European Union handle things? Does Latvia have the same vote as Germany? Or does nationality not matter because things are run by technocrats? I’d imagine at some point the elected representatives hold the decision makers accountable?
Wow - an in-depth and interesting joke. I'm glad that I asked - I, like your other replier, thought that "Pork and beef" were a reference to religious dietary restrictions, and had assumed that you were making some obliquely-racist claim that England was now controlled by "those people". I apologise for having misjudged you - thank you for the explanation!

Can you give an example of a country recognizing some but not all citizenship decisions of another country?

Like I think the US would respect a Taiwanese citizen presenting a PRC passport for instance. The PRC considers all RoC citizens to be PRC citizens and will fill out the relevant documentation for them.

I'm really not trying to discuss the legality of it.

However, that analogy does not match up with what I read.

>The first is that going forward, certain major crimes committed within the boundaries of reservations must be prosecuted in federal court rather than state court, if a Native American is involved. So if a Native American is accused of a major crime in downtown Tulsa, the federal government rather than the state government will prosecute it. Less serious crimes involving Native Americans on American Indian land will be handled in tribal courts. This arrangement is already common in Western states like Arizona, New Mexico and Montana, said Washburn.

So it's not the territory that determines jurisdiction, but citizenship. In other words, based on who you are not where you are.

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing in the context of the article that you can keep using Windows 7. I want it to be a good thing, but reality doesn't go away.

7 was really the last version of Windows I liked before the move to hybrid tablet PCs and Metro. It's the last one with the Classic theme which is more visually appealing to me. And there are no forced rolling updates.

But if a corporation is just not going to release security patches allowing for exploits like this then it slowly makes using it untenable.

It's just like with phones. I would be happy with my first generation OnePlus One if only the OS updates with the security patches didn't also tie in so many other features that decrease performance to unbearable levels. With Apple especially I feel like they're just updating things for the sake of updating them even though they already worked fine before, and Catalina is the end result of that strategy. We're running out of things to innovate on in the technology sphere so about all we can do is stick another two cameras on the back of the latest flagship on top of the previous three and call it progress. I once read a review that said something to the effect of, "but it only has two rear cameras."

And we can't go back either. Even though High Sierra is less annoying to use than Catalina, there's still another release cycle ahead. And another after that. Downgrading is not a sustainable business model, from people's perspective. Reddit won't just throw away their redesign and go back to old.reddit.com by default because it means taking away the livelihoods of the people they hired to "improve" everything. It means admitting it failed, and I don't think that's how they see their efforts. So what's the way out?

And software vendors will eventually start using Windows 10-exclusive APIs because they'd see no point in supporting a "dead" OS, so eventually you'd have no choice to upgrade if your requirement is running that software.

It's just out of our control.

What do you mean by local type inference? Things like let? If so even languages without HM like Agda allow that. HM type inference is specifically for finding the type of the arguments of functions.

That, and the fact that we don't really revisit the modeling approaches when the constraints that led to them no longer apply. For instance, incremental evolution based on a branch where work was done "by hand" into animals, simpler machines and then very complex machines might lead to a very different result than evolution from a branch where the ability to design some types of complex machines is there "from the start".

Note that this is different than saying "let's completely ignore the past".
Except rampant inequality enforces the power imbalance between the prospective employer and employee. Even without protection from competitors, established players will crush or absorb competition.
I agree. C++ has had some form of local type inference when it comes to inferring template types, but in C++11 the auto keyword makes a tremendous improvement.

Even in Haskell where global type inference is supported, people end up putting type signatures on all top-level declarations because doing otherwise makes code less readable and makes type error messages way too confusing. Global type inference means a single type error in a single function can be propagated by the compiler to arbitrarily faraway at the call site, or even several layers deep in a call site. Solving such errors resulting from global type inference simply isn't worth the time.
I love Dropbox as a product and happily pay for it. It always works. No fuss. No conflicts, it just works.

Something to be said about tools you forget that you’re even paying for, they silently make your life better.

Lately, they’re getting slightly annoying though. Designers at Dropbox - it’s a fucking file syncing tool, not a life philosophy. Get over the garish design non sense and allow Guido(retired)...ehhh engineers to do their thing.

The problem is the shareholders. Dropbox doesn’t need to grow. It can stay the same and continue to be helpful (and make money, provide a living to many employees). But the goddamn shareholders will ruin a perfectly good product. Public companies get hollowed out and the marrow sucked by the shareholders. I want a Drew Houston & Sons Co.; not Dropbox Incorporated.

I understand where you're coming from, and while I do understand the value of institutionalized "debating and dissenting" parties (I even believe political parties in a democracy should have declared mouthpieces), there's absolutely no way one can say with a straight face that that is the role mainstream media (and by mainstream I include Al-Jazeera and other "non-allied" traditional-style newspapers) paints itself as having. The term "Newspaper of record" doesn't scream "One voice between many".

That's the thing, you need to consume a certain kind of content, until the recommendation algo takes you to Alt TikTok.

Flappy Bird Clone Injected into SNES Super Mario World by Hand (2016) [video]
From [4]:

Three kinds of evidence point toward declines of some nutrients in fruits and vegetables available in the United States and the United Kingdom: ... 3) recent side-by-side plantings of low- and high-yield cultivars of broccoli and grains found consistently negative correlations between yield and concentrations of minerals and protein, a newly recognized genetic dilution effect.

I think more automation is only going to make the nutrition content problem far worse. Industrial agriculture has optimized the strains largely based on consumer preference - consumers vote with their dollars for fruit that look consistently like their ideal vegetable or fruit (i.e. round, bright red tomatoes). They pay a lot of money for produce out of season so it's far more profitable to ship long distance so they have to look good and have a decent shelf life after a long transport too. We've been running breeding programs to optimize for those variables for a century or more without ever considering their impact.

These evolutionary pressures combined with yield optimization seem to strongly select against nutrition, sugar content, and flavor. For example, my parents only started planting their homestead a year or two ago but already this year the peaches, raspberries, and apples are leagues better than anything I can find in stores or farmers markets and bring me back to the food I remember before I moved to the United States. I can't easily test the nutritional content but I bet it's much better, even with the over-fertilization that they have to do (despite being in California).

Once we start optimizing for automation requirements as well as everything else - to justify the extra capital expense - I'm afraid the quality of the food will get even worse. Every operation, even the "organic" ones, falls prey to loss of quality beyond a certain size and it's largely because of economic pressure that I suspect will only get worse.
In a way, we're not that far then from the world of Snow Crash[ß]. The thing in the book that always struck me as both unlikely and remarkably accurate as far as human vanity is concerned, was the idea of high-end custom avatars.

Stephenson's notion that in a future with ubiquitous VR there would be well-paid artists who crafted detailed, posh avatars for the well-off might just come true. I always thought it pretty far-fetched: sure, people are vain but they wouldn't be that vain. It appears I couldn't have been more wrong...

Obviously, language learners should never use this. They should take a week or two to learn kana, and use a furigana tool instead.

I'm also pretty unconvinced of the article's stated purpose of "readable" URL text. I spot checked a few Japanese news sites (Yomiuri, Asahi, Mainichi), and none of them try to do this. The URLs just have random alphanumeric article IDs. I don't think romaji is valuable for most readers, who probably find it more effort to decipher it than to simply read the Japanese text in the title.

That is a bold move. It is not easy as a warehouse to switch for your WMS software. So to give all your customers ~6-8 months to switch to something else is not a nice move.

For the whole damage from using a camera cover thing, I simply bought as low a profile one as I could find and used a few small felt pads in the top 2 screen corners and next to the camera just outside the width of where the touch pad is (keeps pressure off the pad so the sensor doesn't crack).
This is a pretty serious accusation or message to spread around. I for one wouldn't like to see Libreoffice die. We can't let the only serious, open-source alternative to the titan of M$ simply disappear.

But this was too much of a long, badly structured rant. Without prior knowledge of the inner working, it looks like rambling. It would be a much better post if it were written like an article or wiki page with headers and subsections:

- top 3 reasons there is serious risk in bullet points

- each bullet point with a single paragraph or sentence summarizing what could be done to mitigate that point; maybe even a personal appeal to the reader

- a header per reason going into depth of the why and a more in depth mitigation strategy than what was in the first bullet points

- one header with subreasons that are important

The whole thing should maybe even be prefaced with a sentence mentioning the target audience. I donate yearly projects like this and have no idea what else can be done.
>> a man not racing over to hold the door open.

It's telling that you think this is something that would even annoy most women, especially in a professional non-dating context. The women I know would feel creeped out if someone did that at work. Honestly, even in dating if you're "racing" to open the door it looks desperate. When done naturally some women like it and some think it's archaic.
There's always trademarks, although I don't know if LibreOffice brand recognition is strong enough to overcome not being free.
> Though I'd pay £100 for it no questions asked.

Office 365 is a continually updated and enhanced product.
They won't provide those updates and enhancements to you forever because your £100 won't pay for them.

What you are asking for is their old downloaded/shrink-wrapped Classic Office product offering, which you can still get by paying a f themixed sum ($145 I think).

But even in the old days, your £100 bought you a single program with very few updates if any. If you wanted new features or even security updates (when this became a thing), you needed to purchase a new license, for another £100.

What if you don't want the new features or security updates? Well, perhaps it sucks, but the world of software is a far more complicated than it used to be and both the feature competition and security threats are steep, so no software vendor can afford to sit on and continually support an old version. Unchanging software isn't a product that becomes an antique like a 1959 Chevy. Rather it loses value over time as the world changes around it and it becomes less relevant.

Eventually, they will stop updating your purchased software, and if you want to have new features and security protections, you will need to pay again. In the long run, that cost will converge with that of a subscription.

This is why some people like open source software like Libreoffice as an alternative model, but as the OP highlights, it still needs an economic model to incentivize the enhancement of the software, and it would appear that the primary motivation of many users of the product is to not pay for an office software suite, not the higher ideal of a shared community software development model.
This would be an interesting statement of an opinion if the language were toned down a little bit from flame-broiled mode to medium well.
