That's essentially how it is now with jailbreaking. Unfortunately, with iOS >14.4 or so, the SEP panics the phone and so the only way to side load is to disable SEP features like the passcode and Apple Pay. I can easily see this situation continuing even if an "Allow Side Loading" switch is provided— flip the switch and Apple gets to yank features to tilt the decision in their favor.

And all I even want to do is have a parametric equalizer so PowerBeats sound decent with Apple Music while I run…
The reason why you often encounter spreadsheets with so many columns is because spreadsheets really, really want data to be flat. Analysts often like to have all the possible datasets pre-joined into one monstrous sheet, then they can easily slice and dice it up however they want.

With a relational database this would be kind of insane, as it's much easier to normalize data into separate tables, then just join up them up when you need to.

Not really. Image how many cars there on earths surface. But the earth is far from covered in cars. The surface area of even just geostationary orbit is much bigger, and there are a lot fewer satellites.
No, people wanted blood because she avoided all responsibility by lying about diplomatic immunity and fleeing the country. Nobody would say a thing if she did have a minimum of dignity and didn’t behave like a professional criminal.

The only reason for mentioning her being a spook is how she used that fact to escape.
> Something is very off. The post claims an 8000% markup but others have pointed out that AWS is in line with other cloud providers

None of the biggest ones are trying to compete on egress. Especially because, why make it easy to run some of your services outside their cloud? Please move it all in to the same place and dedicate your budget to them.

> Cloudflare - $0.09/GB pre-April 2021 $0.045 now

That's not general egress, that's one random service optimized for using more CPU time. If you use the less-CPU-time version, bandwidth is free/negligible.

> What is going on with the price of the underlying technologies that make up network capacity. Is it just fiber and switches? Are these costs going down?

Better tech allows vastly increasing amounts of data to flow through the same wires using the same amount of equipment. The price per unit goes up, but the price per byte goes down.
>I wish we had a reasonable alternative

You know... since 2017 when I started getting wary of Apple due to Qualcomm, IMG and Services Strategy. I sometimes wish Microsoft are still in the Mobile race. Trying find some synergy between Desktop PC gaming, Xbox and Mobile. Surface Phone. Porting some of their work from Xbox.

But unlike Microsoft and Google. Apple has no inherent weakness in their business and strategy. They also have an extremely strong cult following both online and offline.

So unless government managed to do something about it ( which I seriously doubt ), the future will be as frustrating as it is now.
There are an infinite number of variations on the problem; you could also ask about a reservoir with inflows and outflows, or a water tower, or a continuous distillation process. I think the money variant is actually one of the worst, as it evokes no imagery (in an era of largely digital transactions), but I'm not sure the exact question asked really matters.

If someone fights a hypothetical, they're usually being adversarial, confrontational, or just avoiding answering the question, which is useful information in an interview.
Doesn't make a difference.

Software developer = Software engineer = coder = programmer.

We all do the same: solve problems. Something the solving involves writing code.
Yes, I know that. I was hoping to see if he could tell at this point when they would ship with some specificity, eg. first week in August, end of August, etc.
"I alone can fix it" ... who said that?
From my experience that see it as a technical superiority thing. Where if you want to use that functionality you'd be smart enough to know how to use the cli and if you can't then you probably shouldn't be using it. And then are typically met with hostile attitudes saying that if you're that much of a noob and need a GUI then just go use a lite client or something. The white bitcoin core community is very ostracizing and unwelcoming.

Even vitalik has mentioned that this attitude was one of the things that turned him away from bitcoin (along with refusal to evolve features) and launch ethereum.
Unfortunately that assumes the employer will provide the phone rather than going "this guy can't do his job because his phone is rooted?" and hiring someone else. Or that the employer knows what rooting even is.
I got a phone call from my nephew a few weeks back asking how to mod an NES rom.

My wife pretty frequently wants to do simple room diagrams.

I'm hosting a game night for an RPG. Everybody needs a laptop - the player software doesn't work in Safari.

I frequently pull and add notes to large passages of text. My notes are kept in markdown and in the cloud. This workflow is basically unusable outside of a real computer.

Most people want real computers.
This looks a lot like a legalized form of bribery. Is there any way to account for this or distinguish it from more transparent bribery? Is there any way to identify the effects of this? For example, if we see that Huawei is suddenly acceptable in infrastructure contracts where there would have otherwise been major national security concerns, is there any way to even identify who is responsible for undermining national security from inside?
Complexity costs come from backwards compatibility. Backwards compatibility is essential because otherwise the change potentially confiscates users funds.

Assuming compatibility is required softforks generally reduce complexity because they relax the requirement for synchronization between participants.
What a crazy edge case. I wonder why it thinks an object that is not actually 'moving' (i.e. getting closer) is a traffic light.

There is a post here about Kea and it links to a video of them moving traffic cones on the road, which messes with traffic.

Some of the more serious charges being levied such as "Assault on a federal officer with physical contact and intent to commit another felony" come with penalties more severe than insurrection charges.

Most registries limit domain lifetimes to 10 years. You can't renew a domain if doing so would put the lifetime beyond 10 years -- the registry will refuse to perform the operation.
How can this be a fault of Amazon? Seems like the GPU vendor did a mistake. Would it be acceptable if a software could brick RAM or CPU, and whose fault would it be? I'd guess the hardware vendor, or possibly the driver vendor or OS vendor, but definitely not the software vendor.
"I can't wait to see the most polluting industries, like agriculture or construction moved to space."

I do remember that Rick Steves, the fellow with the PBS travel show, said that's what it meant and how it's used when he went to Iran. It still comes across a bit harsh and awkward for me.
Adoption and surrogate births. Fucking is a very small part of parenthood
Are you sure? I've also had this vibrating issue and for me 100% it was some sort of grounding issue with the power. Have you tried testing it when the ac adapter is disconnected? Its sort of feels like a very low amperage electrocution whenever you rest your hand on the laptop(if you know what getting electrocuted feels like)
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the trees.

There's also adoption.
I can see how it's a bit short and simply makes a claim without going into more detail, but clearly there is enough there for people to be able to reply and disagree and why (as the few of you replying to this have). I just don't see the point of flagging such a comment so that it can no longer be replied to. I think it's unfortunate that downvoting and reporting seem to be merged together on this site, since those are separate functions (downvote- this is a shitty take or I strongly disagree, report- this is a garbage rule-breaking post that needs to be removed).

As for why SL is sad, is because it offers a shallow alternative to RL for people for whom RL is either unaccessible due to economic conditions (hence the late-stage capitalism thing) or for those who just want to escape it altogether (but replace it with a frankly shittier version, as opposed to some completely different fantasy world where you can do stuff you couldn't do in RL such as the aforementioned WoW). Not to mention that vast swathes of the userbase are creepy perverts, but perhaps it is for the best that they've chosen to confine themselves there. Hence, the sum total of this is quite sad imo. In the early stages when it was a fun and novel type of thing and alternatives for similar things were much less widespread, my points don't apply as much, but in 2021, they absolutely do.
BD focus has been mainly on control and locomotion whereas what Goog wants is neural net-ification of perception and control altogether.

In what world would this be a source of fake asylum claims? The potential for actual persecution that meets the internationally recognized standard for asylum seems apparent in this case.
Can you explain in detail what problem blockchain solves here and why it can't be solved without blockchain?
I’m not aware of High Court determining that. I’m aware of American court proving that she didn’t. The State Department doesn’t have any reason not to lie, given that they facilitated her escape.
Indeed hardly. If you want to push up the birth rate, do the reverse of what is done to (sensibly) limit it: stop girls from getting an education, promote means of maintaining a patriarchal society (e.g, specific branches of organised religion), limit independent journalism, block foreign media — there is a huge list of actually effective strategies to boneheadedly resort to.

Anti-LGBT+ laws serve a different purpose: useful scapegoats. How is this different from Hungary and Poland?
Does anyone know what the benifit is to Firefox to create such a roundabout workaround? Why Google makes things difficult and obscure is clear, but why does Firefox care what add-ons you install on your phone?
At this point I'm really wondering what the ostensible purpose of Universities is, as opposed to their true purpose of wealth signaling.

We live in an age where university level lectures and materials are available for free. Why are we paying a ton of money to obtain a limited slot that allows us to show up at a building for the same lectures and materials?

Is it personal attention? Almost certainly not, but even if it was that can be had on the open market for far less cost.

Access to specialized equipment? Well maybe, but surely there's a more efficient solution there.

Is it certification? Because in my experience, as well as that of many others, the degrees don't say much of anything about competence so what good are they? Besides, it's again a really expensive way to certify people and surely there must be a better method.
I agree. For now, we offer financial aid for those who can't afford the sticker price.
Unit problem: such a turbine could power about 4200 homes; no "per day" involved.
That's roughly one hour of new uploads on YouTube as of 2016.
One solution is to have a unique URI per file that is independent of DNS. Decentralized file storage (e.g. FileCoin / IPFS) might serve this purpose...
Right to repair for software. If you buy software that has bugs, company should have to hand over documentation and source code, so that you can get someone to fix it, if they don't want to.
Plus companies should be required to give tools to unlock and lock a bootloader plus any documentation to help write your own.
That's one of those ideas that's great in theory and not in practice. Not everybody is as confident in their positions to demand that.

I don’t think so? A larger number just demonstrates that lucky coin flips are common and abundant.
I am disappointed by health authorities across the globe. If I was responsible, I would have the following:

1. Provide vitamin D3, zinc, and some zinc ionophore to the masses and advertise the benefits. Also, advise people to take a baby aspirin daily (slows viral replication and prevents blood clots).

2. Just like with cigarettes, have highly visual ads presenting the data that about a third of men have ED problems after surviving COVID-19. I think this would work better than anything else!

3. Have a ongoing campaign in prime time showing how to properly wear a face masks, what's the difference between a cloth one, a surgical one, and N95 - people still can't wear masks properly and have no idea what's the difference between a cloth one, a surgical one, and an N95/KN95/KF94/FFP2/FFP3.
No probs, I was just curious if that’s how it was spelled elsewhere.
Are you interpreting chrisseaton's comment as being in response to the original comment denigrating Perl? It seems more like it's a response to the defensive comment from petereps
> The report cited in the article isn't as clear on their distinction and in some cases the numbers indicate that the comparisons are among feeder, in-state high schools; and others are general enough that the lack of detail is concerning as the study leaves out the total population and only provides percentages.

You can look at the data[1] yourself. It's clear that of in-state students enrolling in UCs (not international), Asian Americans make up 36% of enrollees and white Americans make up 20% of enrollees (indeed "underrepresented"). It seems like you are leading on with your comments that it is maybe OK to cut down on Asian representation because most of those students are probably international anyway (which I also don't agree with), but the data clearly shows that such a cut to Asian representation would harm Asian Americans as well.

That may be true today, but it might not last forever. Labor cost in 1st world nations is skyrocketing (due to cost of living mainly) compared to poorer nations, and there may come a time when robotics becomes relatively competitive. Especially when those cheap labor countries start having the same effect.
The alternative without falling into skepticism is idealism. But scientific explanations of many things like disease, chemistry and physical forces are very compelling compared to the world just appears the way it does as ideas in our mind.
One of the books I’m reading is Swann’s Way, which is basically stream-of-consciousness in structure, and there’s an appendix with a synopsis that references page numbers. I usually read the latest paragraph of that to bring me back up to speed before diving into the text. Super useful tool that I wish came with every book… I see things like Sparknotes in a whole new light now. But manual recall is definitely a good exercise!
The question of data collection could use a little reverse consideration: what could Audacity possibly collect that would be of interest to law enforcement? The only thing I can think of is IP address with a timestamp (which I'm not sure would be admissible as evidence anywhere) given their current stance, or....more? They want to add video so they have to be prepared for e.g. pedo interest? The circumstances in the movie "Blow Up?" I really can't think of anything from the real world.

Beyond that, there's nothing that requires them to allow for this in their TOS. There's no loose end by not including it; it's not a 't' to be crossed or an 'i' to be dotted.

I'm eager to be corrected, but I just don't see why they'd need to change the TOS at all except to replace some ownership info.
Yes and?

Not to be dismissive, but so what? Shitty white Christians exported homophobia along with Jesus. Okay, great. Glad we cleared that up?

Seems like the Ghanaians are now running with it. People love a scapegoat, and Christians love it to be the Gays. The inclusive society of yore is gone. How do we fix it? I don't think that telling the people of Ghana "you're only homophobic because of imperialism!" is going to help fight this bill.
The book by Alan Foster was less of a companion to the game and more of a necessary crutch. Without it, the ending doesn’t quite make sense unless you really squint.

It is a neat game though, I agree. It deserves props for introducing me to the word “pulchritudinous”.
People cannot be purely objective.

That does not mean there is no objective truth.
Don't say that so loudly, sexual orientation is slowly being labeled as transphobic.
Interesting, being from the western U.S. I'd only heard of Japanese fire balloons before. Not surprising that other combatants tried the same concept.
In my experience, it is quite an exaggeration to claim that "most" post-GA 8.0 features or enhancements are buggy, especially in the general case. Yes, some of them may have edge-case bugs or performance issues, but typically only affecting some users with very specific environmental or workload situations.

Operators must test before upgrading. Luckily some third-party software makes this easier, e.g. Percona's pt-upgrade or ProxySQL's mirroring feature.

I'll state again unambiguously, I'm not personally fond of 8.0's release policy of rolling out new features post-GA. But I view it as an annoyance, and at least one with some upsides (not having to wait 2 years for a massive feature dump all at once) rather than being uniformly negative or "pretty scary". Personally I was careful about testing point release upgrades before 8.0, and I'm still careful about it now.
He's extreme far right wing, especially compared to other parties in the USA, which tend to be right wing and moderate-right compared to those in Europe, where the terms originated.

I enjoyed "Do More Faster" which has a selection of advice from a number of startup founders who went through Techstars (and some advisors as well).
I believe he's reimagining the plot of "I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry" but with asylum seekers?
The amount of goalpost moving in this comment thread left me quite dizzy.

We went from "academics can't build nations" to "academics can't lead nations". Then to "America became great because farmers, lawyers, and soldiers were in charge" (while ignoring failed nations that also had farmers, lawyers, and soldiers in charge). Finally landing upon Lee Kuan Yew and national character building (no idea how that's related).

There were no actual examples of an academic taking charge of a country and that country failing due to them being an academic (vs just being corrupt, despotic, insane, or plain incompetent). On the other hand, I provided lots of examples that showed academics have made modern society and the economy possible.

I'd argue that most academics don't have any interest in politics or leadership, which causes them to be relatively underrepresented in the arena. Regardless, I'm not biased against people due to their profession, as you appear to be.
Code is never legacy at the time of writing. That's... Not what legacy means.
That’s what happens when the society fails to get religious extremists - in this case Christian fundamentalists - under control.

Wikipedia has a bot that the Internet Archive collaborated on [1], where rotten links are updated to point to the Internet Archive and new links are queued for retrieval [2]. There should probably be a similar effort for CMS systems like Wordpress and such. The code to do this is semi trivial.

I suggest you take a look at "Climate Impact of a Regional Nuclear Weapons Exchange: An Improved Assessment Based On Detailed Source Calculations" [1] or similar papers. Scientists have run nuclear bomb simulations (and these codes are rather good), used them as input to fire simulations (well validated through forest fires) and then done climate models and radiation (in the sense of "light") transport calculations of the atmosphere. The result is "fucks with the polar regions, but humanity is going to be fine".

I too adored this game, it was magical as a kid and quite scary at times for an overactive imagination.
Oh interesting. That would work too, but `*` is really quite nice in the context that string concatenation is properly the associative binary operation of a free monoid.
Yeah I similarly have pretty fond memories of the whole atmosphere of the game, although in retrospect I've mostly forgotten the characters and what they were like. Unlike with many other adventure games, I can't even recall a single one-liner.

The fate of the alien civilization revealed at the end still has resonance to me in an age where people are talking about uploading their consciousness or living out the rest of eternity in some Ready Player Two digital-ethereal realm.
They adopt. There are plenty of children in the foster care system or orphanages depending on the country whose lives would be greatly improved if they lived with parents regardless of the combinations of genitals or gender identity of those parents.

Or those who are richer and/or in richer countries can use various artificial means.
