Hmm... I disagree. Speed limits are important. So are various other laws that require human judgement to interpret.

There's a reason we have 'judges' -- the law will never cover all corner cases, and the law needs to set boundaries that are sometimes ok to override. You need a human in the loop evaluating various interpretations and keeping those interpretations current with societal expectations. (And those humans absolutely should not be the police.)
Came here to say the same thing. I agree, I don't think they were necessarily $1 in 2017, but it would be a very large omission today. It may be worth remaking an article like this today...I wouldn't mind helping someone out with that.
Frankly, I have concerns about birds. Insects are sub wavelength, so they won't be impacted, or at least the impact won't be obvious.

An aside... I've never really got why technical folks would use IFTTT vs self-hosted. For non-techies I get it... but there are so many great and free tools available e.g. python, tasker/automagic/B4A, node-red, etc, etc.

I'm guessing this move to PRO will drive capable folks away.
Sometimes a simple upvote just doesn’t seem enough. So here’s a heartfelt Thank You for this and your other explanations - I really appreciate your knowledgeable and thoughtful responses!
Search is a merge of server-side results and a very basic local search that right now only looks at From and Subject. If you're offline, you'll get the local search results.

When you're offline, you can view messages. However, only the most recent messages are cached in the account, and caching is run lazily with the background activity scheduler, which won't run if your device is under any kind of load and runs infrequently on battery. Overall, I eventually plan to offer a "days of mail" setting to make this more predictable.

You can also take actions on messages – marking them read, starring them, replying and sending new messages, etc. This is all architected to work while offline and replay when a connection becomes available. This design is necessary to make things seem snappy when the client is online.

Overall, I have not yet heavily tested the offline capabilities, and there is some work to do around the caching predictability story. If offline access is a very firm requirement, I would recommend a client designed around this model, like Mail.
This answer feels disingenuous. I feel I’ve made my point fairly clearly.

The type of trust building Apple does is a “value add” that a company like Epic doesn’t understand yet.

Epic choosing to make this decision isn’t data about Apple’s ability and mindset to earn trust. Epic choosing to make this decision seems to be a short term play at rent seeking before Fortnite stops being popular.

Also please read my other comments in this thread for anecdata about my experience/feelings as a customer of both Apple and Epic.
Well on our way?

I'd rather have less apps available than to have every app of a certain revenue or above distributed independently. I don't want my iPhone to turn into my Windows gaming machine.

I want an iPhone primarily _because_ the App Store is the only place to get apps.

I am definitely interested in eventually supporting IMAP, JMAP, and Outlook in the long term. In the short term, the focus will be on making the Gmail support solid.
I don’t disagree, and I think if a person does this on their own it’s great, I think that as a business, this kind of thing could be pathological involving folks who aren’t as awesome as your grandfather, and I assume your family was fully aware of his mischievous nature.
Yeah, this just pushed me into dropping my account. It's been slow or intermittently failing for ages as it is on the tasks I do have on there, so I wouldn't call myself predisposed to give them ANY cash to begin with. Limiting things on top of that just simplifies the decision.
'- How is LTSE different? Seems like: Companies and investors “promise” to have a longer term focus via planning'

I don't think "promise" is the word. The fact the exchange says it's focused on long term, would incline companies that wanted to focus on long term to list themselves there. Likewise, it would incline customers to list themselves there. But what incentive is there for short term traders?

Right now, on the normal exchanges, you have both types. And the loudest voices in the room are the short term types. They're the ones paying the closest attention, attending the shareholder meetings, etc. The long term holders are far less engaged.

What does this have for those short term traders? Nothing. There's no reason to pile into this when all the incentives of the companies listing, and existing holders, are aligned to long term. If you're looking short term, why would you want this, knowing all the other players will be aligned to take hits in the short term, if it pays off long term?

Not saying that this will be successful, but I can see it working because of that. Not because it's more attractive to long term holders, but because it's less attractive to short term.

That said, agreed that some ways to enforce it would be nice. But those have some noticeable downsides too (i.e., if a company makes decisions you don't agree with, but you're locked into a hold position...).

That said, as was mentioned elsewhere, it sounds like voting power is tied to how long you've held, as well as number of shares. So that certainly helps silent the churn and burn voices.
Isn't it the case that those politicians who leave office and continue to work (mostly those who are not of retirement age) almost always make more money in their post-office careers than while they were in-office as a politician?
I got some SK6812 V3 LED'S or whatever the RGBW 'Neopixel' things are from there a while ago- really nice ordering experience, I don't remember having any problems with it, and they include datasheets, which is awesome.
I thought was arguing with someone rational, but equating marketing with “corporate malfeasance” makes it clear I am not.

Ok, you win. Apple doesn’t know it’s users, they put so much time, effort and marketing behind safety and security, while not understanding that customers don’t care about them.

It’s just random luck that despite being outsold 6-1 that they make more profits off smartphones than all other smartphone companies combined, and pay developers 50% more than any other company in earth. It can’t come from any deep understanding of what their customers want, since you don’t have a statistically viable sample confirming it.
I think IBM is one.

> if you are building something today that doesn't have very high performance needs sticking to the OpenGL API is probably a good way to ensure that you won't have to migrate to something else for a very, very long time.

That is, in fact, precisely the wrong advice.

Vulkan runs on Windows, Linux, and OS X (via MoltenVk). Nothing else does.

OS X runs OpenGL 3.Ancient and has now dropped OpenGL. OpenGL drivers for Linux tend to be laughably worse than the Vulkan drivers.

All of the major gaming companies have basically said "We have no OpenGL jobs. We have a ton of unfilled Vulkan jobs."

If you aren't using DirectWhatever, Vulkan is going to be the only useful 3D API very shortly.
They... really don't.

Any service with any level of client integration will a) version their APIs, and b) keep things sufficiently stable so that clients aren't constantly breaking.
That's only for the first year though
If then yes. But it seems unlikely and my preference is to live in a world where Apple continues to curate the AppStore on my behalf.

I hope Apple doesn’t need to remove the AppStore entirely. But that would definitely be better than the alternatives of allowing sideloading.
If you can run a docker container and you have an Android phone, Gotify is a nice alternative for this use case.

The GDPR isn't being circumvented in those cases. It is being blatantly and flagrantly violated. The GDPR explicitly requires that refusal to be tracked have no more friction than accepting being tracked. If the banner has a "Accept and Continue" button, then it must have a "Refuse and Continue" button as well. Adding any more steps than that is a violation, not merely a circumvention.
Maybe an alternate distribution would be some number n such that there is one paper cited at least n times, at least two papers cited n/2 times, at least 3 cited n/3, up to n=10 or so. Allows for a bit of a tail and still easy to remember and calculate. Could dramatically shift weight toward people publishing multiple landmark papers.

How does this apply to something like Facebook scanning someone else’s photo and detecting my face in it?

So for an entity present in Portland they cannot run facial recognition in a public place in Portland. But what if entity A is partnered with entity B. Entity B procures images of people in public in Portland city limits and places them on a server in another state. Entity A, which is conveniently headquartered elsewhere takes the data from the server and runs facial recognition. This is clearly facial recognition of persons in public in Portland. But it’s not by a Portland business and the computing isn’t done in Portland either.

This is false, if you look at expected deaths the US is sky high while all of Europe is under control.

If we don't get vaccine then sure all countries might eventually end up the same, but Europe is largely back to normal living with kids back at school with almost no cases. In the US we still have lockdowns and no control at all.
I interviewed with the team not too long ago, didn't get the role in the end but the team was lovely and the interview process was great. Would recommend giving it a shot if you're at all interested, there are some great people working there!
It is kinda as simple as it can be.

Write the HTML first, doing the basic page content and layout using standard HTML5. Then add class attributes to identify the things you want to style in the same way.

Use a single CSS file, and then add in styling for the various document elements (<p>, <h1>, etc) and classes.

You'll get almost all you need without any Javascript, and there's no need for static site generators or build systems or any thing complicated. You can do pretty much everything in two files (you could put the CSS into the HTML header, but it's kinda nicer to keep it separate).

Once you need to go beyond a landing page, you might want more sophistication, but you can deal with that later.

The greatest strength of Starbucks is also its greatest weakness: scale. Because Starbucks is everywhere, it has to be the same everywhere. Maybe the best coffee in West Hollywood is not the same as the best coffee in Midtown Manhattan, but Starbucks buys in bulk to optimize for what is best across all locations. The local coffee shop can optimize for what is best on a hyperlocal level, while Starbucks cannot.
Apple’s problem at that time was their dreadful supply chain and glut of models. How were people supposed to know whether to buy a Performa 5200 (my first computer), or a Performa 6200, or a Power Mac 7200, or an 8500, or a 9500, or... one of the dozens of models in between all those?

I loved my Performa 5200 and I miss that computer like crazy, but Apple made a huge mistake with all of those models and they paid the price for it by having to write off huge amounts of old inventory.

It’s funny. Apple’s biggest weakness in the early 90’s has been transformed into their greatest strength today. Talk about learning a lesson!
How do atomics help a high-level graphics API? The implementation can use them, but threading probably shouldn't be part of the interface.

Generics are cool, but auxiliary to any core part of the api since it's not really possible to use them outside of in a macro that wraps over a real function.
I only saw a security issues from years ago from that link. Is there anything active right now? I couldn't find anything. Or are you suggesting that an issue from years ago means they are forever tainted?

This is equivalent to complaining that rap isn't music. The meanings of words change, sometimes in ways we consider irrational or inconvenient in various ways. Complaining about it never seems to help.

I long ago stopped complaining to people in this forum about the difference between "it's" and "its". In response, please stop trying to reclaim the term REST. It's long gone.
I'm disturbed by the riots as much as anyone but I applaud this legislation.

Facial recognition and citizen movement tracking is a slippery slippery slope I want nobody in power to control.

The thing that confuses me is this is clearly done for the rioters but they're the ones with the ideology that generally results in this type of draconian citizen tracking.

Its an upside down world man.

I do agree that limits on photography are probably unconstitutional though.

And I'm not sure the gain justifies the cost. Not being able to facial rec a robbery suspect is going to have tragic outcomes.
>This makes me sad. The entire point of Government is to be an enterprise spanning multiple generations.

Not in a democracy. The point of a government in a democracy is to serve the current will of the people. The government itself might last many generations, but its goals and motivations change with every election cycle.
Couldn't agree more. I don't have the time right now to commit to another project, but I always love picking off a quick task if it's helpful.

As proof, GitPals posted[0] their own project on GitPals. The sole comment mentions that they're looking for help auditing their JWT implementation. This is a sufficiently small and well-scoped task, and so I did[1]! I admittedly opened GitPals with no expectation of contributing, but the ask was small enough that it seemed reasonable.

I wouldn't count `you need to connect to the mac and install the apps every 7 days unless you have a development program that cost $100 a year` as `You have been able to sideload apps on iOS`.

This "fact check" only serves to confirm pieceofcakedude's statement. Not about who said it (who cares?), but about the test not being trustworthy. Reuters states, in the last paragraph, "PCR tests ... show that SARS-CoV-2 viral genetic material is present in the patient" -- not that the PCR test confirms any minimum quantity, enough to cause any adverse effects. This is what the NYTimes reported on, that the amplification necessary to detect the virus was very often so great, implying what existed in the person was so tiny as to be inert. Reuters agrees: "It is important to note that detecting viral material by PCR does not indicate that the virus is fully intact and infectious"

Pregnancy tests should return a binary result. Pretty much every other test requires a quantity for context. Imagine a blood-alcohol test that can say yes, alcohol is present, but is unable to distinguish between ingesting a teaspoon of cough syrup vs. drinking a six-pack.
Well, that is just silly. Median americans have income several times higher than e.g. median people in central/eastern Europe (not to mention third-world countries) even after correcting for different price levels, and even these are able to feed themselves.

Here in Czechia income tax breakeven is roughly on minimum wage. Above that (almost everyone who has fulltime empolyment) people pays some income taxes.

I’d rather not host it myself, but, do you think IFTTT’s server costs are a significant contributor to the price? If they are, I have to question why this idea of cloud computing is supposed to make economic sense in general.

IFTTT is just a bunch of web requests chained together. The strength of the product is its UI and the number of services it supports.
Dumb question, but how do you learn to work/program for these things? any reading material I can look at? I started learning C this week and this looks very interesting.
Agreed. It just seems like a dick thing to do (assuming the impact is negative).

You’re dead. Your opinions don’t matter any more. You don’t even get the satisfaction of spilling the beans, because, well, you’re dead.

Sure, maybe nobody will know your wife cheated on you. But that’s ok, because you’re dead. Why bring more pain to the living?

Now, if you were have someone crash the funeral to tell your spouse how much you loved them. Great, nice idea.

But the vindictive examples seem like a complete waste of time and only hurt people. Especially putting the gay biker (apparently not everyone knew)). Great friend he turned out to be.

< Traditionally voting power is proportional to shares owned. However, on LTSE the amount of time a stock has been held is also considered.

This seems problematic. The longer you hold your stock the more voting rights and hence value it accrues. But if you sell the shares all the accrued value is lost. So it surely leads to proxy voting, where former owners still are registered as owners of their former shares, but vote them for whoever they secretly sold the shares to.

Do you live in Portland? How about your family: kids, parents, siblings? Do you own businesses here? Have you spoken to anyone involved in the protests, or local business leaders?

All of the above are true for me, and I was born here, and I for one applaud the new restrictions on facial recognition.

If your answer to most or all of the above questions is "no", please reconsider telling those of us with actual lives here here how we should want to be policed and why.
I remember listening to something on my local public radio station (KUOW) once, I'd guess on "This American Life" or "Hidden Brain" but I'm not sure, about extremes of human memory and related things.

They talked about two people who were at opposite ends of facial memory ability. There was a woman who had total face blindness. She could tell she was looking at a face, but could not recall who it belonged to.

If you had her boyfriend walk out of the room she was in, and then come back in with a couple other people dressed the same as him, she could not tell by sight which one was her boyfriend.

The other person had perfect facial memory. For example, if some random stranger at an airport asked him what time it was, and then ten years later he was introduced to that same person at, say, a party, he'd recognize instantly that they asked him the time ten years ago at the airport.

They say opposites attract, and in this case there was some truth to that--the man with perfect facial memory was also the boyfriend of the woman with total face blindness.
