If you see crashes -- report them; they're either bugs in the JDK or possibly the result of a library you're using that employs native code or Unsafe in a way that depends on a JDK 8 implementation detail. Overall, there has not been any increase in reported crashes since 8.

> but to who and under what title? Oracle, IBM, openjdk?

The most popular Java implementation by far -- the one that serves as the basis for almost all distributions except IBM's -- is called OpenJDK, and is lead by Oracle, with contributions from Red Hat, Intel, Google, Amazon and others. You report the bug to whomever you get your JDK from, and they report it to the OpenJDK project.

> e.g. "none of the corba stuff works anymore because its not part of 'new java'" is whose fault?

CORBA works fine, it's just not distributed as part of the JDK anymore. Like most decisions around OpenJDK and the Java spec, it was made by Oracle-employed engineers (like myself), and signed off by representatives of other companies. The reasoning is that it would do more good for more people if the core team behind OpenJDK would spend their efforts on things other than maintaining CORBA, and the reaction from the community has been positive.
Can you tell me what the long term effects of the COVID vaccine are? I’ve done a lot of research on that specifically but the time seems to have not passed yet.
Not if, when.
The Flying Karamazov Brothers did real drum juggling but I can’t find a proper video outside of part of this compilation. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xVG8FBIW_iA

They would bounce juggle a large foot piano and wear electronic drums on their back hitting it with clubs. Quite a sight.

Edit: some additional percussive juggling starting at the 4 min mark of this video https://vimeo.com/264353589

Edit 2: proper video of my initial comment with the shoulder mounted drums. https://youtu.be/NFUQyJD9RK8
It seems sort of weird to consider a country improving itself as an issue.
I was part of a team that wrote a paper for a customer on replacing 5 million lines of legacy COBOL code with either hand-written or machine-generated Java for a major system. The cost was in the mid 9 figures.
> because, hey, why would that star lie about it

Why would a gov official lie about it? It’s way more plausible that the gov official is lying to control the masses than some pop star.
I'm pretty sure the Electric Universe Theory is fancy pseudoscience.

The point of mid-height buildings is that you can line a road with it and get sufficient density so that all the urban amenities (parks, playgrounds &c) are within 15 minutes of walking. That was Salazar's explicit goal when he built the post-war Lisbon neighbourhoods - church and primary school were the focal points and had to be within walking distance. His architects did an admirable job.

But what's the appeal of a high-rise? It requires too much space around it, it's not made for the human scale.
> The issue is when we're eventually talking about a 22-year old Model 3 that's had 13 years of deferred maintenance, is totally clapped out, and is only on the road because someone paid some mechanic off to look the other way during a state vehicle inspection for the past 5 years.

Except that the 22 year Model 3 also has a computer inside the battery that should be keeping things in check. Assuming the battery can even hold any charge at that age.
The Hyundai Kona Electric was discontinued in Korea because it uses the same batteries from LG, yet has continued to sell the Kona Electric elsewhere. Do you also blame Hyundai?
I am currently in Colombia, and there are many merchants accepting cryptos, including Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash.
I guess it is because their currency has lost 50% in value since the beginning of COVID.

On localbitcoins.com you can easily find some one who will buy Bitcoin for cash. I've done this myself and the fee is not very high.

You can also use a Bitcoin ATM but fees are a bit heigh on them and they take your picture just like regular ATMs, so it might be a little bit dangerous.

So to conclude it really depends where you are. I think that for example Medellin is a perfect hide out. And most things here are 4 times cheaper here than in Europe or the U.S.
If batteries are easily swappable with minimal tools, then a lot of range concerns go away as well. I think battery ownership and care needs to be decoupled from the vehicle. I also think the federal government should enforce interoperable batteries between vehicle brands.
I have a Hyundai Kona EV, waiting for my turn for a battery recall/replacement, and they have told me (and all EV Kona users I presume) to not park in the garage and keep it away from the house.

But that is way too inconvenient, since I charge in the garage, and I don't live in exactly the best of neighborhoods. So I'm left wondering, if this car does catch on fire and burn the house down, will insurance cover it? Or will I be at fault for not following Hyundai's recommendations?
Cough corrupt again cough
Oh, I think you’re right. Good call.
Sorry I meant a 5mpg decrease overall not every year. That would fit with the 10% you describe.
I mean, that's just the tip of the iceberg:

> The Bolt normally can go 259 miles on a charge, but that has been limited by GM’s guidance to avoid a fire. The automaker told Bolt owners to limit the charge to 90 percent, plug in more frequently and avoid depleting the battery to below about 70 miles of remaining range. They’re also advised to park their vehicles outside immediately after charging and not leave them charging indoors overnight.

So instead of 259 miles of charge, it's about 163 miles of charge. Oh, and don't leave your car in your own garage after charging.

Tough pill to swallow, I'm a Volt owner and I love that car, but couldn't blame anyone for them being soured on GM after that.
Civilian in this case is being used to denote that none of the crew is being sent as part of a governmental agency. In the the flight you are referencing all 3 crew were members of governmental space agencies.
So here's what the police could do next-

1. Record an album

2. Copyright the music and get it to all the social medias for automatic DCMA goodness

3. Play the album in all precincts, courthouses, squad cards, prisons, public offices, social disturbances-- like background Musak- or Waffle House music. Hell if they make it corny enough, maybe people will play it for the police. For the lulz.

4. Contract out a third party to pursue DCMA takedowns of anything left behind

5. Use the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center task force for special abusers

Ok-- got a little carried away, but there's still a lot of potential here.
Hrmph. That's going to be hard. I already park it a full car width away from my pickup. That's about as good as it's going to get, unless I park it down the street. I'll take the risk.

But it'll be interesting to see if this recommendation gets out, and people start avoiding my Bolt like the plague when I park at the store. That could be a good thing...
How many of those are due to the ICE? In my experience most vehicle fires are electrical in nature, whether it's an EV or not (the 12v system in an ICE car can still cause a fire).
The multiple genocides and general suppression of human rights?
Taking yourself and your work too seriously is the crux of the issue. Just lighten up and have some fun
> This is trivially disprovable. Did grocery stores increase the wages of their clerks once self checkout was a thing, or did they keep wages the same and lay off some of them?

That doesn't disprove anything. Productivity is an input to and has an effect on demand, but it's not the only factor. It doesn't need to be the only factor to matter. Lots of things matter. Economics is a complex field.
During the height of Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 many grocery stores banned reusable bags from their stores. It was amusing to see how swiftly and silently they pivoted from "bring your sustainable reusable bags" to "get your filthy corona-covered bags out of our store". I guess the winds have changed again back to encouraging "the use of reusable bags and cut down on the use of single-use plastics"
Internet forums and social media are not real life
>There is zero good arguments for why Apple deserves 30% of gross transactions for ebooks, music, movies, etc that are merely purchased on their customer's phones.

If you're starting with that premise, then you've already made up your mind.

The fact is that the 30% covers more than just the purchase and you have to ignore that completely to maintain your "zero good arguments" position.
There were a few people who raised alarms --from IP theft, unfair trade (we can impose barriers for you, but you grant us free access), voluntary hollowing out our industry, theft of military secrets, etc.

But... most people were dollar eyed like a doe on a dark night with the blinding light from the semi coming at them freezes them in place. We could not extricate ourselves from the "promise billion-man market".

And, so here we are now, a great thanks to Nixon, Kissinger and the coup de grace from Clinton with the MFN to WTO.

It seems so ordinary yet surreal. So second nature. Seems as if humanity has access to another realm suddenly. It probably must have felt the same when the airplanes started carrying ordinary joe blows.
> How about secure virtualization and security through isolation instead? See Qubes OS.

yeah, that's kinda what i meant by "something like this that builds on existing primitives to get there may be the only real, feasible thing".

it looks like qubes uses vms as an existing (heavyweight) primitive to limit blast radii for existing software and systems. i wonder if you can do better if you start from scratch.
No, the GP is right.

> This is the beginning of commercial space flight.

No it's not - it's the beginning of vanity rides. Well, until one blows up, that is.

> this comment made me angry

Sure, you're a space fanboi, we get it. You want to be entertained for free with rockets. Now go back to arguing who the best Star Trek commander was.

Whoever said, "We should paint racing stripes on pairs of rockets and race them to orbit like NASCAR." had you in mind.
Most phones use LiPo Batteries not LiIon, so they're not directly comparable. Afaik LiPo is known to have a lower lifespan.
Good point -- I shoulda known as IPv8 addresses use ., !, and ? to separate address parts when using "dotted" notation.

Or would they have commas as is used when the : is degrades into the less definitive ;?
In reply to your dead answer:

Your hypothesis is falsafiable, and has been falsified. It's conspiratorial thinking, plain and simple. [0], [1]

No, I do not think it is strange that Vit D and NAC are not under a 'huge push'.

The UK made Vit D supplementation available for free last year and the NICE guidelines concluded that there was insufficient evidence at present to support global supplementation [2]. On NAC, there have been a number of small studies but no widespread studies of high quality so neither has made it into regular protocols. That's not to say they won't have some effect, but that the level of evidence to support their widespread usage is not available at present.

Here's what I think is a better question: Why aim for something that either requires high compliance (regular Vit D supplementation, which motivated people can do for cents a day anyway) or pre-intubation Rx (NAC) when you can reduce the risk of hospitalisation (even against delta) or death by 80% with a free, widely available (in some countries), safe vaccine?

It's simply clutching at straws

For the curious: The Mythbusters actually tested the "shooting a gun at a gas tank explodes the car" thing, and it didn't work. It only worked when they tried it with tracers, but those are a whole different thing than ordinary ammo.

Yes, but so did magazines and TV shows which also made teenage girls feel bad about their bodies.

Australian here.

Firstly, the monarch of England is still our head of state.

Secondly, the genocide was so thorough that there weren't enough indigenous inhabitants left (outside of those enslaved) to hold a war.

So yeah - after the British pulled out (except they didn't), we had peace between the living and the dead.
A/B testing flutter apps
I am building a SaaS app for a/b testing flutter apps. The product works like this:

- you can create two versions(a and b) of a widget(for instance: with different colors or copy text) and upload the widgets to the SaaS tool using a flutter library.

- now you can use the flutter library to show version_a or version_b to the user with just a one liner (without having the code for the widgets a and b on the app)

- you also get a SaaS dashboard where you can also control the weights for versions a and b and you can also see other stats that includes, impressions, conversions and conversion rate.

If you are interested in trying out the closed beta please sign up here:

That's a reasonable argument, but I'd counter that the US has never defended Kuwait nor Saudi Arabia, but only her own interests in the region.

I think the US support of Israel comes from a different place, and I think Israel is a cantankerous partner. This may be by design, of course.

Same thing you do when an ICE car sets a building on fire. Apply water and put it out.
Wouldn't it just be a different type of vector in terms of being able to nail you though?

Since the VM company (unlike a VPN such as mullvad) makes zero promises with respect to keeping logs, if you visited badsite.com, then later the FBI raids badsite.com, sees a VM company IP address, subpoenas your VM company who says that your particular VM was leasing that specific IP at time XX:XX:XX, then you're done.

Further, mullvad gives you several relatively anonymous means of purchasing a VPN, whereas the vast majority of VM companies (digital ocean, linode) will require and store all manner of personally identifiable information about you.
I've been beating the market for a few years now (not 600% annualized of course). It's harder to find capital than you think it is. But, then again, I guess you're right. In order to consistently beat the market I've focused on beating the market and not trying to raise funds, so maybe that's why I've been able to do it. Kind of a catch-22.
If you want to build a custom allocator (use freelists and vectors of types) you can do all of that in Go and C. There's nothing stopping you from writing custom memory allocators in Go.

They no longer need to hunt dolphins for food.

In fact, it is now a sport activity carried out when someone spurs Dolphins and an adhoc hunt is carried out.

Could you elaborate on the perspective that you suggest we should have? I am curious since these are sentient creatures with complex social structures that we are talking about here.
I wish more people understood nuance the way you do.

Apple's deal was made only because Amazon claimed that their books were purchased on Kindle and that they wouldn't advertise other platforms. As soon as they broke that part of the agreement, Apple was not going to continue to appease them.
Insurance will cover it. They even cover overt stupidity. They don't cover fraud. They don't cover things they say aren't covered in the policy document. Otherwise you're good.
What's newsworthy about this? In Maryland, both Howard County and Montgomery County have had this tax / fee in place for a while. The bag tax / fee is in counties, municipalities, and districts (including DC) across the nation.

Don't try this at home though
EV owners are conscious about range. Tesla would have said that they were limiting range until vehicles are repaired.

Apple didn't tell anyone and a slower device is harder to quantify in normal use than not being able to drive the same distance between charges.

The EV equivalent would be reducing acceleration slowly over the lifetime of the vehicle with the helpful (to the company) side-effect that new models seem a lot more responsive.

These inspections are nothing but pointless revenue generation for the state, checking for the check engine light and inspecting 1 wheel at most usually. Lots of states don't even have them.
I think that's an altogether different question. The original question was if left governable? I think the answer is yes.

Did The Romans leave England governable when they pulled out? I think yes. Did the Romans do shit, sure, but that's not the question.

Pullout from Afghanistan regardless of military actions and who was killed was left Ungovernable. Australia it appears to me was left governable when they left.

The British left Jamaica probably with few Tainos, but the question isn't were Tainos treated fairly, was Jamaica governable by the new government when they left?
Honestly what actual Chinese threat?
Don't fret, the poor will be herded up into space to mine the asteroids eventually.
I won't say that a working electoral / parliamentary / judicial system, civil engineering, medicine, etc left intact is a bad outcome. It's a much better outcome than a civil war.

With some exceptions, there were no comparable systems in native cultures; those that existed (some definitely did) often were not capable to keep together a country, even if they worked well on tribal level, or were scalable but belligerent by design.

I also don't think that cultural projection, to a degree, is not a bad thing. It happens constantly, and allows for cultural cross-pollination. It is, of course, best done in peaceful ways.
HASS looked nice initially with all its polish, but I gave up on it when I couldn’t figure out how to interface with MQTT from the web interface and it generally just didn’t seem to have many features.

I’m going to try OpenHAB next, as I’ve seen relatively complex setups with it.
It could be hard to get a car up into the tank... connecting a winch might not be possible due to the heat, but I wonder how they get around that to tow it?

Also, needing to plan for larger vehicles like a pickup truck would mean > 4,000 lbs of water to submerge one, base an approximate dimensions of such trucks & the corresponding volume of water.

Than again with batteries generally in the bottom of the car, maybe you'd only need to submerge a few feet?

I can definitely see the need for new emergency response equipment in the EV future.
They've tried that before, it turns out that "you're holding it wrong" isn't the best customer experience.
Haha, just a time based schedule and nothing that fancy.

But if anyone out there has made an API client for the Fi collar… let me know!
It definitely was until ~5 years ago. I think the 2016 election was the turning point. There has been a stream of negative PR for Facebook since then, and it seems like everything they've done for damage control only made things worse (especially anything from Zuckerberg).

Well, Hong Kong had plenty of co-dependence with the rest of China, and everyone already expected greater integration in 2047; yet the CCP still chose to accelerate the schedule in defiance of the expectations of both a majority of HK citizens and the West.

With that said, Taiwan is both more valuable and easier to take if more Taiwanese people don't think it's much better to be associated with the US than China. I think that, if the CCP does gain control of Taiwan in the future, it's >50% likely to be no more violent than Crimea; that's not possible today because too many Taiwanese are opposed.

A 5-cent tax isn’t a ban. It’s a reasonable cost for the value that the bag provides carrying your items, especially if that money is put towards reducing impact of improperly disposed-of plastic.
Frankly, anybody who thinks that Apple is out for anybody but themselves is living in a dream.
I'm curious: is there a fair use argument for videos recording police activity in which the officer plays copyrighted music? I understand the intent is to trigger auto takedowns via something like ContentID, but beyond that would you be in the right, legally speaking, for uploading?
This looks exciting and I’m going to give it a try.

For what it’s worth, if it helps with marketing: I am immediately skeptical that it’s going to be some mix of tedious to get working with my specific webpack dev server setup, be slow or unreliable, or never actually keep the state I need.

I’m hoping to be wrong on all of that. But when I scrolled the (beautiful) website, I would have loved to see some really nasty example in addition to the very elegant introductory “show don’t tell” example.

I want to see the first and think “okay I get it” and then be shown something really complicated to illustrate just how durable the tool is.
Except for an ICE you only need to dump about 300 gallons on it. For an EV, it can take 24 hours to get the thing fully dealt with.
Retail typically has low single-digit profit margins and a massive inventory risk.

Apple has zero risk and 80% profit margins (on the App Store anyways).

Lastly, retail stores are where you typically purchase one-off items. They don’t keep charging you for that refrigerator month after month.

The two business models aren’t really comparable.
Yes. I had to learn to read COBOL using VSAM to port reports to a Cognos product and Oracle. One of the COBOL devs pulled me aside one day after we were happy to get one of the reports down to a few minutes. (I'll gladly admit that Cognos was a big part of the run-time cost). He ran the legacy report on the mainframe and it took well under a second. Not saying that mainframes are better but I felt like we'd actually wasted our time polishing a turd (Cognos) instead of doing something useful.
I'm trying to let you know that you're being unpleasant to the point that it doesn't seem worth forming an argument.
