UC commissioned a study to see if the SAT was biased. The study found that it was not.
Have to look out for all the fracking especially western ND. Looks like a war zone at night with all the flames from burning off the gas.
This was years ago but fun story:

Buddy of mine worked at a big bank and was required to use IBMs "cloud".

He went to try spinning up a server just to get familiar with the UI. The UI was weird to do so and he got a message to check his email... nothing on the page but that.

He checks his email and it looked like his action fired off an automated email that was responded to by an automated email that the server would be setup in a week or so....like some old colocation service... that was their cloud...
1) why would the default be bad? Like, why ever would one make a default bad if there are non-bad options?

Because it is not bad, it just chooses different advantages and disadvantages.

Right Alt could be configured to do regular Alt modifier, or could be configured to enter additional characters (Alt Gr - third/fourth level).

The first case has advantage that Alt-based keyboard shortcuts on right side can be conveniently entered by one hand. That is why there are Shift, Control and Alt on both sides of keyboard.

Second case has advantage that you can enter more characters, but entering rightside Alt-based shortcuts is more awkward.

Conventionally, US keyboard uses the first approach (as there are less need for entering more characters), while many non-US keyboards use the second approach.

Also, why Compose key is not accessible by default? Because there is no Compose key on common PC keyboard (in constrast to some old Unix keyboards). Therefore, Compose key need to 'steal' some existing key, which is problematic, because users expect existing keys to work as expected. I personally use Menu key as Compose key, but other users may have different expectations.
Been there since Assistant APIs became a thing in Android 6.

You can also disable Google app to stop it from running. You'll lose the other services it provides though.
HN is weird. 5 of the 6 comments in this thread at the time of posting are all talking about whether it is or isn't down for them. This is the only one that is downvoted and it has been downvoted multiple times. It's probably due that single "lol" at the end.
It literally says “public” treasuries or revenues there, public meaning government. It’s a common misconception apparently!
Fairness in academics should be based on merit. Handing out tokens just codifies a belief that certain groups are inferior to others. The social justice rhetoric only exists to justify treating certain races and sexes as a disability

> - there's no trash ... anywhere

There's a purely logistical reason for that. Most stuff you could buy didn't come wrapped in plastic or paper and most people didn't snack as much as we do now. You can't litter what you don't have.
Hey, thanks for the opportunity ideas! You're totally right about the editor lookup problem. I wrote this project, I use this project in a production setting and not being able to jump to the SQL from code does bother me.
I'm not slamming it, it honestly reads like parody to me. Maybe it's not, hence invoking Poe's law. If it was meant in earnest I mean no disrespect, and I'm glad people can use the comment section to debate the points.
It's undeniable that someday chrome will end, and when it dies several Manhattan projects worth of work will die with it, with very few positive side effects besides V8.

But hey I guess serving ads is really important?
You absolutely can and a large majority of Manhattan car owners do. As another commenter said, you just have to respect alternate-side-parking and cleaning rules. Typically either once or twice a week.

I’m confused. Is that not the purpose of the lawsuit?
pbs spacetime on this topic recently:

You're not an Android user, you're an Android used.
I’ve got an app in the works which would operate on such slim margins that a 30% cut may very well make it non-viable.
To me it feels like borderline libel, but I doubt you could prove damages.
AFAIK Apple prevents this by forcing every browser app to use the half broken Safari engine that does not implement many modern web APIs and standards.
By that you also give a choice to app makers, some of whom will happily sell you out to bigcorps. Even after switching from appstore to playstore I felt how the latter is less secure than the former. It is unimaginable in the appstore for a gallery app to demand access to your sms and address book. Or that moving items to trash/hiding instead of permanent deletion would require a cloud setup. On android, it seems absolutely normal that even stock apps do that. Calculator may require your geoposition, IR remotes may require the access to your messages. Often it's not just a suggestion, they refuse to work if you do not comply. And that's only the "safe" playstore.

Now imagine that Epic wins the fight, has millions of teens on the fortnite needle and no one to prevent them or some inside bad actor to demand whatever device clearance they want. The same goes for regular apps. I'm sure there are well-intended galleries, calculators and remotes, but they are buried under tons of promoted evil contracts, never seeing neither the light, nor a profit/visibility.

Apple may be a bit greedy with a 30% share, but really acts in interest of its customers by kicking the hell out of arbitrariness.
Haven't moved yet but I am planning. Hopefully somewhere warm where the cold/moisture/pollen triggered allergies don't have me pinned for months every year.

I am in Bangalore so I guess I'd be Hyderabad or Chennai. On the plus side I will also get rid of atrocious rents and traffic of Bangalore.

1-2 year plan also involves exploring options outside India. Somewhere where if something like COVID-19 hits again I won't need a politician's phone call, or a powerful bureaucrat relative's clout to get even a test done (though I've neither), let alone a hospital bed. Yeah, it's that bad here.

Maybe years/months later when real numbers come out (if it happens) the world will see on what scale it was going on in India. Is there a word for this - something like a genocide but not really genocide in literal sense?

I generally feel how you do, but looking at commit histories for large projects on Github, this appears to not be the case (Rust, Facebook's Flow, a few Adobe repos, etc.). I can see the appeal, especially for open-source projects, as future employers can see your work there, but I agree with you about the risk and IP concerns.
> "Doesn't affect me" - doesn't it? If you run a Kubernetes cluster, you'll do 100 pulls in no time from free / OSS components. The Hub will rate-limit you at 100 per 6 hours (resets every 24?). That means you need to add an image pull secret and a paid unmanned user to every Kubernetes cluster you run to prevent an outage.

What are you going to do if your company makes an adjusted cost of living to your compensation? My company is already advising people to come back near our address due to tax reasons.
You still pay less money for a comparable property even though the rates are higher.
Are you saying people avoid other stores even though they know about them? Then I disagree. If I ask people I know in real life, they can't tell any other app store besides Google's. Even if their phone includes others. Every phone comes pre-installed with play store. Then they don't look for another store, they never need that. People learn and teach others how to install apps only from play store.
I think this reaches down into high school as well.

So, half the students are A students, but their SAT scores are going down? This sounds like the great fashion psychology trick of labeling large jeans as ‘small’ or larger shirts as ‘slim fit’.
I would've thought in an ideal world you would do things sufficiently well the first time so that you don't have to tear down the old work and redo it again. Not the opposite.
Reno is a very big change... Did you grow up there or? I’ve never really met anyone who said they were moving to Reno and works in tech (especially from the Bay Area).

Also, how much did you sell in the Bay? I’m just kinda like... “why live in Reno if you sold Bay Area property and therefore could easily buy a house in Lake Tahoe proper...”

Google did this with Google+, immediately rendering my Nexus One obsolete because I didn't have enough storage for the framework :( the update basically bricked the phone. Even uninstalling literally everything possible wouldn't fix it.

I miss that phone so much.
Probably start now.

C++20 is a much more fun language than C++11 was, which was itself overwhelmingly more fun than C++98 or C. C++23 and C++26 will continue the trend. If you are not constrained to shoehorn yourself into a C or C++98 environment, all the memory-safety worries Rust was supposed to help with fall away.
Peer pressure from other Chinese still exists especially outside of China, but it is more likely they felt nationalism since they were abroad and it wasn't being forced down their throat everyday. The best way to make kids hate Mao is to force them to take a class on him.
I am not who you are asking about because I went almost completely remote like ten years ago.

I am from San Diego. It took me awhile but I eventually got the courage and circumstances to move to Tijuana a few years ago. I couldn't really afford to stay in the US anyway unless I got a different job.

Its a tiny startup and very low pay but I have plenty of energy on the weekends etc. for my own projects and it's low stress. Also have the ocean a block away and convenience store downstairs and very low rent.

If I had a real salary I would probably move back to the US though. Somewhere that they don't turn the water off multiple times during the summer.

OS/2 failed partially because Microsoft not only made it more expensive for OEMs to ship OS/2 since they still had to pay a licensing fee, they also didn’t give IBM early access to Windows 95 like they did other OEMs. OS/2 actually ran Win 3.1 apps better than Windows 95. I sold IBM PCs running OS/2 at Radio Shack in 1995.
Nothing here. Germany
well, the first part of that's shared, anyway.
did any of these alternatives also ship google play side by side with alternative stores?

unless a company has a special deal with google, then it's either google or alternatives but not both.

i think the only reason there could be a special deal is that google made some concessions when trying to convince a manufacturer to use android. but that would be an older deal.
Dallas. Have friends there, wife went to college there. I'm in the PNW right now, and I'm not really that confident that this area will manage the recession very well. Plus home prices in Texas are way more reasonable (and logical, imo), and no state income tax as well. Have talked to a realtor, but kind of hard to actually see something in the current environment. If I was to pick my dream house and location it would be a ranch in South Dakota or something.

But information wants to be free. And Google wants information to be free too. Especially wants your information. To use, and monetize, and exploit in ways we probably don't know about*

*To be fair, Google provides various conveniences and services in exchange for your data, so it doesn't get it completely for free. But there are three general categories of people on this: 1) People who like those conveniences and services and have little idea or thoughts about what pays for it. 2) People who understand this exchange, and make it willingly, eyes open. 3) People who understand this exchange, don't like it, and avoid as many aspects of it as they can.

I'll be honest: With every purchase at every web site, every account created, every app installed that asks for this little permission or another, I begin to feel more & more that it doesn't really matter, and fall further into #2.
It should be perfectly possible to run custom OS on all Apple hardware if it was not for the artificial limitations they added.
Teams works here in the SF bay area, so does the XBox win10 app. Probably a regional services outage
Epic did their homework on the lawsuit, they make it very clear that Apple and Google are each separate monopolies. Because they have exclusive monopolies over app stores on devices that a large portion of people have. But the Play Store and App Store are not competitors: They control different markets.

Furthermore, Epic helped highlight a very important point about Android and iOS: They're not actually competitors. For an OEM building a phone, Android is the only option, it has a complete monopoly on mobile OSes with respect to the market of OEMs who might choose it.

Two Centuries of Debt in One Month – Pantera Blockchain Letter, July 2020

This is probably the best comment on the subject I have ever read, for whatever that's worth.
Pacific Islander vs Asian isn't "fine-grained". They are two distinct "buckets" in the US government's standard racial classification system, to which I linked earlier [1]. It is just that the "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander" bucket sometimes gets its name abbreviated to "Pacific Islanders". "Pacific Islander" is a collective term referring to the indigenous peoples of the islands of the Pacific Ocean, which peoples are divided into three main ethnolinguistic super-groups – Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians – and Native Hawaiians are a Polynesian people. New Zealand's Maori are another Polynesian people.

Prior to 1997, the US government had a single bucket, "Asian or Pacific Islander". Since 1997, they've been split into two separate buckets (although it took some time for the bureaucracy to fully adopt the new grouping – the 2000 census still used the old classification, but the 2010 census adopted the new one.)

Back in the day lawsuits were won by unauthorized publishers wanting to sell games for e.g. the NES.
To "decimate" a deal still just sounds bizarre. I don't know, maybe it's because "deal" isn't countable or collective.
The solubility of some minerals, such as lead, increases drastically with higher temperature (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z4s48mn/revision/2). Hot water will have much higher concentrations of those minerals compared to cold water. This is not a closed-system, steady state flow equation, since the hot water can pull in additional chemicals from its environment: metal or plastic pipes, fittings, anode rods (aluminum and zinc). The lining inside the hot water tank is made from many different materials, including synthetic polymers (https://www.bijlibachao.com/water-heaters/coating-storage-wa...), which can degrade over time and leach more chemicals into the hot water. Finally, bacteria (e.g. Legionnaires) can grow in the water tank if the water is not hot enough.

This article from the Denver water department says, don't drink the hot water: https://denverwatertap.org/2017/12/13/psa-dont-drink-cook-ho...
I haven't used pug, but I read through it a bit and like their approach. I think they have a more intricate way of parsing SQL than we have in aiosql. We're doing it quick and dirty with some regular expressions.
To be clear about the scenario, I was asked my opinion. I dont just go around complaining.

I have found that unless the person is totally primed for negative feedback, it always results in defensiveness and spite. I've had people back stab me after asking my opinion.

I mostly just dont bother anymore (in person).
Is that statement just based on your general feeling or data? Because the data does not show that Western Europe is doing better in Covid deaths per capita than the US.

Top 10 countries in covid deaths per capita (as of today)... US is #8 and 5 of the top 7 are in Western Europe.

1. Belgium

2. UK

3. Peru

4. Spain

5. Italy

6. Sweden

7. Chile

8. USA

9. Brazil

10. France

Of course the pandemic isn't close to over, so this data will continue to change.

In addition, besides measurement differences, many other non-policy factors impact this scorecard. For example, age distribution of a country, population density, luck of when an outbreak started... impact a countries Covid deaths per capita... so I personally wouldn't start tallying a scorecard yet.

Maybe a little, but more importantly, all apps on F-Droid are open source, and verifibly built from said source. It's very hard to hide malicious activity on it, whereas duping the Play Store content moderators is like taking candy from a baby.
The footage makes it look like the ship ran directly into the island/reef and later buckled (the “crack”) midship as the stern partially sunk. Something must have seriously gone wrong with the navigation system. I’m assuming the accident happened at night; the noise inside the ship as it ground into the reef must have been horrendous.

The better question is why is there a snap store? With flatpack and appimage already working well, why muddy the waters with another offering, much less one that it awful.
Epic might not be the little guy, but Apple is worth almost $2 Trillion. That is a pretty big brother.
That's a profoundly nonsensical argument. Read what you wrote again perhaps?
This is an economic failure, but not a market failure. The failure is precisely because of rising land-use restrictions obstructing the market, especially in key centers of the economy, like New York, and especially since the 1960s:

Most people don't care about security ... until they do.

Most people don't understand security and are not equipped with the necessary knowledge to correctly judge risk. As long as security is just something that gets in the way to get some job done, most people will just plow ahead, since not getting the job done right now has a high and easy to understand cost.
Utilizing Real Estate Photo Editing Services for Object Removal
Real estate photographers have professional cameras and other necessary equipment with them to create enticing and eye-catchy images by using their professional skills. But sometimes due to some environmental factors or other reasons they fail to get the results they wanted to achieve. Under such situations, real estate photo editing services come in handy.
An alternative interpretation is that we haven’t been spending nearly enough money for the past two centuries, given how rich America is, and using all the debt to bail out S&P500 holders, considering all the other ways we could have used the money, is the worst.

I don't find it particularly interesting to argue over whether Google and/or Apple or Goople are monopolies/duopolies.

I think however it is obvious that something has seriously pathologically gone wrong in the mobile software market and these two companies are behind it.

I also don't think that appeals to "is that legal" are all that satisfying -- (Apple's free speech lets them silence whoever they wish, of course) -- but does that seem right to you?

For problems like these I tend to start at the end and work backwards. What would we want an ideal ecosystem to look like? And working backwards, what policies, laws, and cultural rules were made in order to get there? What products were built, and/or sold, in order to build that outcome?

Then we do those things.

I watch these conversations again and again devolve into whether these companies are monopolies, but I think that discussion is beside the point. Is it right?. Why do I only have 2 choices? Why do I get to choose only between Global Hoover or Comical Evil? And why if I choose one of them, do I give up all choices that follow?

Solving problems like these relies on establishing a common ground about what we want to see, and agreeing that what we see isn't that. So -- what do we see wrong now, and what would we fix?
I think your approach is off. If you're serious about buying, you should state your price, and ask if they accept. Not play hardball and ask them to come up with a number.

I bought my last new car with price negotiated on the phone before even showing up at the dealer.

The hardball approach never worked for me. It's best to just know your max OTD (Out the door with taxes and fees) price and offer that.
Disabling google assistant broke various unrelated features.

What I just found out I can do above is change the "Assistant" default app from being "Google Assistant" to being none - which stops the stupid swipe in the wrong way and it grabs focus and the bottom half of the screen "feature".

Edit: And to be clear this doesn't remove all the places Assitant pops up, just the most annoying one. It still has prominent placement in the "system" settings for instance.
