Apple had already had Lightning out for 2 years when the new rules came in 2014, I already had four relatively new devices in the house with lightning ports by then.

Compared to Micro USB, Lightning is more durable, is fully symmetrical, has built in authentication. At the time in 2014 it also had faster charging (12W vs 8W), faster transfer speeds, and did streamed video and audio all of which Micro USB got several years later.

The charging power issue was a big deal because Lightning was suitable for tablets with bigger batteries and higher power ratings (two of our lightning devices in 2014 were iPads). This his is why the Galaxy tablets at the time used a proprietary connector. So Apple would have had to keep Lightning anyway for the iPad. Lightning has also always been more consistent, several variants of Micro USB connectors and cables are incompatible. So much for standardisation.

So reverting to Micro USB at the time would have been a significant regression in capability, and wouldn't even have got rid of Lightning because it would still have been needed for the iPad. The whole situation would have been an utter debacle.
And? They obviously have an agenda if they cannot tell a Nazi helmet from another.
Tether is similar to a money market fund and could be regulated as such.

Unless I'm missing something, the request would go like this:

VPN A sees that 1234 is going to facebook.com

VPN B sees that 4321 is going to facebook.com

facebook sees that request is coming from 6543

Am I misunderstanding the technology, or didn't VPN A see everything?

I'm on Arch, and it gets hot in my bag when in sleep mode. Hibernate is certainly good though, since it's basically powered off, but I haven't tested because in my experience hibernation on Linux is kinda finicky to get to work flawlessly

You put Hal's family in danger with this nonsense.
> The cost will go down over time.

And the number of transactions will increase over time, adding to the cost. So what does it net out to?

It doesn't look favourable when the bloated payment behemoth can get by charging 2-5%, but crypto transfer fees end up being significantly higher, and prone to surge pricing if too many people are buying Cryptokitties at the same time.
This is an interesting article. It also makes me think that this kind of analysis presents a lot of opportunities.

Take for example the Chinese beef being labeled as premium New Zealand beef and sold for much higher prices in supermarkets. If shoppers can't tell the difference without this analysis, then it implies that the price differential between these two products is larger than it should be.

That specific Chinese beef producer is likely selling his product to a wholesaler at a standard (low) price. It is somewhere else in the supply chain that the mislabeling comes in - and that is the entity that makes the profit. If that beef producer was aware that his beef is selling at a much higher retail price, then he should be selling his product to the wholesaler at a much higher price. What prevents this from happening? Well, knowledge (and a marketing budget). There should be plenty of capital available to solve that problem :)
Cool idea. I'd love to check it out just to see how your concept works.
If both operations are exothermic, why the heat exchanger? I would assume one process would need to be endothermic.
Years ago (~2010) I learned that companies sell laptops which can't cool themselves properly. I had an Acer "gaming laptop," which from the factory had fans which didn't sufficiently cool the CPU. After about 2 years of normal use, it cooked its thermal paste, and would shut off under even moderate use / stress.

This is obviously a different situation than what's occurring with Dell laptops, but it's not too far afield. When I bought the Acer, I never even considered reading up on cooling. I figured I'd only have to understand cooling if I built a computer myself: surely one from a manufacturer would already be able to cool itself sufficiently. Well, it turned out I was wrong. Keeping laptops cool is actually a pretty tough engineering problem, and too many companies and consumers aren't will to pay the price (either in higher dollar amount, or constrained capabilities) to ensure that this a standard.
I thought this would be about Keyhole. I was a Keyhole user when Google acquired it in 2004 and turned it into Google Earth.

At the time I thought it was one of the most spectacular pieces of software I'd ever seen. Google hasn't changed that.
Man - when you are claiming 10 year old tech was stolen...

I'm sure this will get the clickbait headlines and comments around google "stealing" someone's idea.

To at least a bit ahead of things

They did "terravision" which never went that far in 1994?

They sued claiming their tech was stolen in 2014 (20 years later).

Patent was re-issued twice, so they filed in 1996, then did a re-issue in 2010, then had to do another re-issue in 2013.

The claims are things like

The method of pictorial representation in claim 2, further including determining the coordinates of the data in a new coordinate system

The claims they were accused of violating were found to be invalid. This went to jury trial.

Patents are great, but the more I read software patents, maybe they should be limited to something like 6 years.

To be clear - I think it IS possible that their stuff was "stolen" - in the sense that a number of people probably have had ideas of maps in computers, I know I had an old multi-cd encyclopedia that I think actually had a cool spinning globe which was cutting edge back in day. Their zoom in piece looks like the most unique (sets of more detailed tiles).

I'm not sure when level of detail methods came out really, I know in gaming they were around for a while and there was a terrain generator as well that made great terrain that had some level of detail stuff. Perhaps this was in fact novel?
It’s surprising to me how this is when the whole point of a church is to serve the local community and those that want to help overseas have “missions” which some people malign as semi imperialistic.

My personal view is help your local people first (no matter where you are) and others next. If you want to do good somewhere else the best way to do it is not via feelgood “remittances” but by going there and putting in the hard work, hiring locals, teaching locals, etc., so they may become self sufficient and not need ‘charity’.
That is hilarious.

Problem: Right french door is hard to close and user often leaves it open. User does not hear alarm.

Solution 1: Make french door easier to close / close automatically.

Solution 2: Make alarm louder. Adjustable even.

Solution 3: Add networked computer, software, mobile phone application, and wire them all up.
He may be right that cops basically can't get fired but he's getting downvoted because he pivots to complaining that have adopted a particular branding he doesn't like. Of course that goes over like a lead balloon on a site where many people's day jobs includes thinking about the difference between specific cases and a general case. Replacing punisher skulls with rainbows and monster trucks with Teslas isn't going to change the fact that the police are capricious, unaccountable and feel enabled to rule with an iron fist.
I think the issue is that the costs of using fossil fuels are “external” to the purchaser, so a market solution doesn’t work until the negative externality of pumping co2 into our shared atmosphere can be accounted for.

It would be like expecting people who dump their industrial waste upstream in a river to be corrected by market forces - the market will probably choose that people don’t care about the down river people as long as they get their goods slightly cheaper.

Also a wrinkle in a pure market based solution is that the US substantially subsidizes fossil fuels because I think the 70’s taught politicians that fuel price shocks will get them voted out immediately.

That's an interesting summary, missing a lot of good writing and references. Also could explain this latest fly over from a cynical point of view.
> Business are legally required to accept cash.

If you're in the US, this isn't true. Businesses are only required to accept cash for debts, i.e. where you pay after services are rendered. That's why dollar bills specifically say "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private."

The gas station can refuse your cash payment for a candy bar because there's no "debt" yet. A restaurant can't refuse to take cash unless they make you pay before they bring you food.

It's not common to do, especially since cash is so easy and cheap to handle, but it is legal.

> Covid adds a bit of friction to this but I have yet to be refused a transaction because of a cash payment.

Earlier in the pandemic, most places near me had signs up that they weren't taking cash because of COVID.

I can confirm there were some people who resented Americans/West when I went there. Luckily my Serbian coworkers would shut them up.

At least I wasn’t Turkish. They definitely resent 500 years of Turkish rule.

The younger generation is much more forward thinking.
If, some day in the future the oil companies all start pushing hard for carbon capture, then we will know this is a real possibility.

That's awesome not only because of the longevity of the machine but also because of the craftmanship and pragmatism of this guy.
I am not an American, so I do not have a dog in this fight.

But the bridge between alcohol and insecurity on one side and murder on the other that you seem to erect seems rather uncertain to me. Scandinavians drink like fish, suffer from a lot of seasonal depression, but their rates of murder aren't that high. Nor are rates of murder in rural USA regions originally settled by Scandinavians.

Murder seems to be strongly correlated with gang activity in the U.S.
I think the average person doesn't realize just how little activity they do in a given day. The thermodynamics still apply, you just might be doing way too much sitting proportionally in a day and not nearly enough activity, and that has a far larger effect than any variance in metabolism. We evolved as persistent hunters who would walk down pray over miles a day, foragers who would range around the world chasing resources, now with work from home your range might be a few dozen feet within the confines of your home on an average given work day.
A 20 min/mi pace is walking, not running. Nothing wrong with walking more, though.
>you sometimes have to make sure that certain green threads have their actions scheduled on the UI (OS) thread

But that management is the crux of the issue. The complexity of hopping into and out of contexts is what is exposed with async/await and coroutine scopes and hidden by the more simple syntax.
I think it's bad without the rest of the supporting toolchain but it's not axiomatically bad. There are languages with structured editors (e.g. https://hazel.org/), people can use different tabstop settings and even just different editor colours and wrapping settings and I think we can agree that doesn't doesn't hurt anything. Enforcing an automatic formatter is more or less identical to this anyway: you can write your code using whatever style you want but what ends up in the repo is equivalent to the compiler but not identical to what you wrote. You can imagine running your own local formatter on the code before you edit it and running the global formatter afterwards and an observer being unable to tell that that's happened.

case S_MAGIC_VXFS: /* 0xA501FCF5 remote */
/* Veritas File System can run in single instance or clustered mode,
so mark as remote to cater for the latter case. */
return "vxfs";

From comments earlier in the file about aufs, it seems like the question is whether the filesystem could possibly be remote, because it controls whether tools rely on inotify or do polling - not whether it's definitely remote.

Clutered mode is supported on HP-UX. When did you check?
Thanks for the feedback, we didn't want to burry the "acceptance test" complement to our testing strategy in the article. If you're curious how it works we've recorded a webinar about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKgDaD5Nie4&list=PLfqo9_UMdH...
Totally agree, getting actionable and confident results from ML is a really tough thing to do. Imputing data, feature processing, metric choices, and etc is almost an art form (though new AutoML libraries have made this much easier).
It was intentional at least in so far as that bias is a known problem with Google's machine learning processes, and that no substantial effort was made to avoid the bias.

Running over a pedestrian might be a second order effect of driving a car, except that driving a car includes applying the brakes to avoid it.
Instead of doing away with stock trades, the better approach would be to do away with "lawmakers."
in a sense, there are only two boys, an inside boy and an outside boy, and where those two boys are together (at around 8 o'clock) you actually don't see 100% of either of them, yet you count it as two boys

in the A position, look at around 8 oclock where the two boys next to each other.

look at the "inside" boy, and then move clockwise and you just see just his foot on the inside, continue and you see a leg, going all the way around you can see almost all of the "inside boy" emerge.

in a like manner, look at the outside boy of the two boys together, and proceeding counter-clockwise you see the foot, the leg, etc as almost all of the outside boy emerges.

it reminds me of a trick where you take a stack of dollar bills and slice a thin strip from each one, with the slice taken on each successive bill moving across, and tape each bill together again.

At the end, tape all the little strips together and you have an extra bill!
I own XPS 13 9380 with Windows 10. Same mess with the sleep. I have to carry the laptop in the bag when commuting. You never know what it is doing when lid is closed. There is no lights on the laptop to indicate its state so I just usually put it to my ear and listen until the fan goes off after closing the lid. Then it is semi safe to put it into the bag. Feels like stone age.

Things are just getting worse with Windows and those standard PCs. I never understood why they moved to that S1 idle when S3 was fulfilling basic needs. This family Intel+Windows starts to irritate me. I am seriously considering either fully moving to Linux or to Apple Silicon and Mac OS.
If you're answering 23 questions on SO per day, you don't have time to maintain a website. Especially that initial time sink of converting from a Flash based site.
Unless they have evidence of it getting past Apple and into the App Store, just doing it dynamically doesn’t change anything
This is an important point. Not for the "we'll build a gas station on mars"-scenario, but for the "we'll propose this as a climate solution".

Every way of replacing natural gas with some other source of methane - be it the sabatier process or biogas/biomethane - has this problem. It can only be a climate solution if you can bring leaks down close to zero, which is very challenging.

It also makes one wonder whether e-methane is really such a good idea or whether you'd rather look at other chemicals like ammonia or methanol.
I mostly agree, except that weight training exercise, in combination with a proper diet, does have one huge effect on body weight: if you successfully increase muscle mass, your resting metabolic rate increases significantly. RMR can vary between ~1700 Cal/day to ~2700 Cal/day just with muscle mass changes, and this is between 'scrawny' and 'fit' body types, not going to something like body builders (who probably have a BMR well in excess of 3000 Cal/day). And the 1000 Cal I'm talking about here are a huge difference in food you can consume.

You have a set of ballots, each with a list for a single party. You throw away all the ballots save the one that is your choice, then make your preference circles there.

They are recycled, so no waste. (The politicans are often recycled too, some having 4-5 party affiliations in their CV.)
If we’re going down that route, it’s more accurate to say the military impacts are actually protecting (and impacts assignable to) the economic activity itself not the particular currency it happens to take place in (because they take place in many currencies and affect the prices in a huge net that’s impossible to untangle). So the lack of military ecological costs to BTC are more of a figment of it’s place as largely a speculative asset and small slice of the economic pie, if it were to ‘win’ and become a principal currency it has all the same issues as the dollar or any other currency…

And for calling it fundamental, yes BTC requires burning lots of energy to have a transaction. Even if it goes so that day to day most transactions are lightning based you still have to burn that energy continuously to provide the security for new links in the network.
When I visited it last time, they tried to sell me a 100 dollar virus scanner app for my iPhone [1] so yeah I wasn’t exaggerating much. I’d much rather have Hodgkins Lymphoma than that site lol.

There is a typo. The answer is in the second paragraph:

> is that they are considered second-class pieces of software and only get the attention of QA engineers or developers who are not applying the same level of effort as their runtime code.

Another way to say this is that efficient e2e tests require significant continuous investment in top-tier engineer time. The question then is how much engineering time is worth being spent in that way.

It may be that, yes, you can have fast e2e suites, but doing so is too expensive to justify the cost.
I live in Canada and had bank accounts in France as well where anything above 5 figures is hard to do across institutions. I was able to move 50k in 10 minutes in BTC when 25k CAD was tough to send and required days of wait time despite a certified cheque I paid extra for.
I like Stimulus, I like that it has a really small API surface, but I dislike that the very small API isn't very well documented, or at all.

This is a major release, and there's no release notes on github, no upgrade guide, CHANGELOG hasn't been updated, only this blog post exists to tell you everything you need to know about Stimulus 3, and to be frank, it's really light on details.

I think the project would have much more popularity were some effort put on the documentation, and since the library is so small and compact, not much effort would be required.
I think that is quite sensible, so multiple people do not (unknowingly) spend time writing the same answer.
Effectively, yes - it's a combination of "regulatory capture" and "campaign contributions"
It’s caused issues with my wife thinking the kids milk has gone bad because the door was ajar. Trust me when I say peace of mind and possibly getting hacked is much better than an angry wife plus hungry kids.

French door fridges have this flat piece that slides behind one of the doors to make it airtight. Our previous place had a Samsung that did the same thing, except it was the left door and easier to shut.

It’s made by Germans, they don’t always make things usable or even serviceable (German cars).
The others couldn't all standardise of Micro USB anyway. It didn't carry enough power at the time to charge tablets with their bigger batteries and higher wattage power requirements. That's why Samsung used proprietary connectors on their tablets. Apple would have had to retain Lightning for the iPad anyway, forcing Apple owners like myself to have a mix of Lightning and Micro USB for our tablets and phones until Micro USB caught up (and then became incompatible with itself). Wonderful, thanks guys!
1. USDT is not a DAR (Digital Asset Receipt) like other so called "stablecoins" (i.e. it's not backed 1:1 by physical USD). Instead it's a pooled investment fund claiming to keep NAV (Net Asset Value) around 1 USD.

2. it behaves more like an MMF (Money Market Fund)

3. market participants creating and redeeming large blocks of USDT are getting discount to NAV and/or exchange price.

Each of the points above can be interpreted as "With the expectation of profit" clause in the Howey test.

Additionally there are many regulations about MMFs, like breaking the USD peg by more than 5c, i.e. when NAV goes below 95c - the fund should be terminated.
This is great! It has been a long time since I learned new dirty worlds. The inclusion of misspelled words and popular culture references is also intriguing.

Grok is certainly a standard part of my lexicon.
Crime doesn't really work the way you're suggesting.

Someone robbing houses is directly going to cause a massive uptick in violent crime. What if the resident is home and tries to defend themselves? The victim (of the home invasion) might shoot the invader in self-defense but be charged with murder anyway. Or the robber might kill the homeowner during a struggle even if they only intended to steal property initially.

Plus, people aren't inherently "good" and "bad" or "criminals and non-criminals". There's complexity to how being a victim of crime can lead a person to commit other crimes, how "non-violent" crimes can quickly become violent, etc.

Blaming "Defund the police" is kinda short-sighted, but certainly there have been massive shifts in how police see themselves, their jobs and their communities and how people see and interact with the police, and that those changes are part of the cascade of changes that lead to increases in murder rates.
Not in all environments, e.g. clojure.spec, or with MyPy reflection etc.

It's nice to know that in an ever-changing world, one thing I have always been able to rely on in my 45 years on the planet is the overwhelming shittiness of LA law enforcement.
