Even the mini is too large to use with one hand unless you have very large hands. Probably half of American men and the majority of women are not able to use their thumb to reach the top and bottom of the screen while holding the phone in one place securely. I'm pretty surprised that this doesn't seem to be a concern for most people, I guess everyone's content to use two hands on their phone whenever using it?
The merchant is able to set something on that page, the one with the ordering options, that would label their own website "Preferred by business". If you ever see it, it's fairly prominent. To me this almost totally invalidates the basis for the lawsuit.

As an example look up Emmy Squared Pizza: East Village in NYC.
There's this perverse situation at play here where the ones who are most likely to pay for an ad-free subscription are the ones who are most valuable for advertisers (the connection being that they have discretionary income).
> we’re also introducing new options for some services to better align with usage, which could lower some customers’ bills. In fact, many customers will be able to adapt their portfolios and usage to decrease costs.

So, your bill is going up.
How and why we have genetically enhanced our seedlings matter a lot. we only include genes from other plants and don't use any genes known to increase plant pet risk or weediness. we have confirmation that we do not require further deregulation by USDA.
It's not just about direct military aid. Russia will be the base for any trilateral talks with China when escalation happens. Russia's closeness with China also means some gains for India.
STIR/SHAKEN hasn't worked correctly or stopped robocalls like promised. Congress basically told everyone that this was the answer and would stop robocallers for good, but in reality did barely anything at all. The real solution is to label robocallers as terrorist and sanction countries with large amounts of robocalls for sponsoring terorrism. Before long, everyone will be too scared to even consider working in a robocall center and they will start turning on each other and reporting their bosses. They should even offer monetary rewards and protections for providing intelligence on the people operating these.
Not sure it’s the right patch though. (Does a search engine need an extension to support being used for omnibox search? It might.) In any case, the two ultimate sources of the linked report seem to be:

The irony of promoting Brave in this thread.
You've got to consider the fact that interviewing is kind of a nightmare process in tech that involves lots of ramp-up time off the clock and takes months to get through. Most people just want to do their 8 hours and then zone out - not do their 8 hours and then do 6 more hours of Leetcode and CTCI practice, despite the potential for comp increase that comes at the end.
I installed KoReader on my Kobo, which has native Wallabag sync. Reading saved articles on my eReader has never been easier + I'm in control of the data (as opposed to Pocket users).
I too have been using Makefiles in both my C++ and Deno projects and have been very happy with the unity it provides.
It'll never happen, far too many people that would otherwise buy a $1000 laptop would buy a $600 one instead. Why give up that $400?
I read the title and was surprised to find the article isn't about AJamesMcCarthy - he has an amazing ISS-moon transit picture from a few months back.

> Nope, first it would be Russia that would help India. Russia has been the long term trust worthy friend of India.

No matter how the war turns out, Russia will be significantly weakened. The isolation from the West will force it into a closer and subservient relationship with China. There is no way Russia will take India's side against China.
Glad to see they're doing this but I feel like it will be years before a US fertilizer supply chain can ramp up.
For things that are considered facts they don't. But for Featured Snippets they do. If something is a widely recognized fact you don't need to credit a source in your own writing too
I think the word missing from this is 'market'.

Good leadership identifies issues or opportunities in markets, builds something useful, and most importantly, markets and sells into the domain.

Having worked on both sides, I would say that understanding markets and being able to sell into them makes almost Engineering seem pedantic.

This 'gathering requirements for Engineers' is an 'engineering centric' way of viewing things. I mean you have to take some perspective on it, but I think that the issues is going to revolve around 'the hard part'.

If you're building new Nuclear tech, the Eng. is going to be a 'hard part'.

Otherwise, it's the money, markets and selling that is 'the hard par' and the Devs. are bit more like Construction workers but with more thought in the process.
Be careful here and don't assume what I mean. Take a moment and write out the steps.

The direct text entry programmer has to:

1. Decide what they want to happen next

2. Figure out the syntax to make that happen

3. Write out the syntax

Our visual programmer:

1. Decide what they want to happen next

2. Figure out the syntax (now "big green two pronged if block" instead of "if")

3. Look over the palette and visually identify the block (expensive! non-facial discrimination is tiring)

4. Drag the block from the palette to the code section (weird UI interaction, also requires both fine + gross movement, also expensive)

Notice that our "visual" programmer still has to execute all the same non-visual steps! We haven't made the actual work visual, we just made the UI really annoying and added a discrimination task to it - which is tiring even for our visual learner.

Text _is_ visual, but it's visually expensive to consume. Brightly colored complex little blocks are also.. well basically just as visually expensive.

We didn't make programming visual. We didn't make the skill threshold lower or easier or even _different_. We just added more work.
Not yet, but with Amazon increasing everyone's salaries, the price of everything in general going up, you're likely to see every large provider raise their prices.

It seems like only the new players will lower prices.

We cover the cost of site prep and seedlings for landowners we partner with and retain the rights to the carbon captured by our seedlings. We then monetize the carbon captured by our seedlings.
No, Google is far from helpless in detection of these types of issues. Business owners should be able to claim and manage the features which are enabled on their accounts, and nothing should be enabled by default beyond the basic contact info and possibly reviews.

There is an idea - not one I hold in high regard as it goes - of
"stochastic terrorism" [1][2].

At this point, given the very specific nature of Meta's comments it
seems tantamount to incitement. If "stochastic terror" exists, then it
surely exists by dint of such specific omission/exclusion.

Not that this is necessary. I suspect those close to Putin are already
trying to decide between Polonium, Novichok and a bizarre equestrian
accident with a randy stallion in season.

Good luck and godspeed! Really cool biotech initiative...

Two naive questions:

1. Is there a theoretical maximum to the amount of carbon capture a tree can handle?

2. What's the difference in carbon capture between increasing the "efficiency of photosynthesis by 30-40%" and planting 30-40% more trees?
If were an american company, why would I pay for such setup? Provided I have the resources to screen it.

That scenario is a time bomb, and if the americans are the ones putting the money in the table they'll get bitten by it.

Anyway, nowadays with services like remote.com or similar ones, you can hire and manage your own talent without the outsourcing company overhead (not affiliated with then).

I think the problem isn't that off-grid is expensive so much as that everyone else is left with the garbage on-grid solution and those with political power have zero incentive to actually fix it.
From my experience seeing others use Scratch, part of its value is the ease with which it can be used to tell interactive, visual stories. Programming in Scratch is a means to tell a story, not an end in itself. If you're using Scratch to teach recursion, then you're using it wrong.

Another high point of Scratch is that it includes message passing and concurrency. This allows for telling complicated stories, and it also introduces some very hard to track bugs -- so, kids learn some debugging as well.
Switch to oropharyngeal swabbing technique, this worked much better for me.
Auto accidents and “isolation and disruption”
The ZX Spectrum keyboard was even worse to type on than modern on-screen ones, and plenty of kids used it just fine. So "data-entry speed of a keyboard" is highly variable in practice. (Of course, I agree that alternatives to mouse-and-keyboard input are worth exploring in all domains, including for software development.)
How about this then? Many restaurant owners, including the ones I mentioned, are unaware of the existence of these unofficial ordering channels (websites, phone numbers). They claim that they did not sign up for any of this.

My wife recently was tricked into calling one of these fake numbers on a fake, but official-looking restaurant website. The person on the other end pretended to be the restaurant that we wanted to order from. But my wife grew suspicious when the person knew nothing about the menu.

You keep talking about contracts. But simply saying that 'you signed a contract' does not make it true.
The "west" has never really aided with or aligned with India. In the 1971 war with Pakistan[0], when Pakistan was carrying out genocide in Bangladesh, America sent its warships to attack India. They only backed off when Russia sent its own warships. It's been almost 50 years, but India hasnt forgotten than incident, and it still, to this day, affects public opinion/policy.

In most diplomatic disputes, the Ussr (and later to some extent, Russia) sided with India, while USA sided with Pakistan.

Even though India has been a democracy, relationships with the USA (and most western nations) have been cool, at best.

>> wouldn't that come back to bite them potentially if China aggressed on India in a potentially parallel border dispute?

I doubt USA would do anything if China and India went to war; USA and India are sort of aligned in trying to contain China, but in itself this isnt a strong enough factor to counter all the other bad blood over the years.

It also doesnt help that the American political system is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde-- one President can promise you anything, the next will completely overturn it. Trump tearing up Obama's Iran deal is an example (but this goes beyond just Trump). Most Asian/Arab countries know you can't trust America-- Obama betraying long term ally Mubarak (in Egypt) and throwing him to the wolves is another example.

Hate Russia all you want-- but the general feeling is: Your deals/relationships with Russia won't change every 4 years, and you can build long term plans.

Well, it was called 'updates to pricing', not 'lower prices for' or 'double the memory/storage for our users'
My take is that it is the other way around.

There are numerous web front ends for git such as github and bitbucket that are highly accessible to non-developers.

Certainly people complain that the index exists, like it's so hard that they have to type "git add" and then "git commit" and then "git push".

My counter to that is that git has sufficient complexity to be able to recover from operator errors more than any other version control system. I remember the very limited branching model in CVS where it was only really practical to do all the real development in the HEAD branch and just do maintenance for numbered versions. I remember how easy it was to completely destroy a Visual Source Safe repository.

In Git I've got no fear that some little mistake such as a typo in a commit message or checking changes into the wrong branch can't be fixed easily and that was not true for Subversion or any other system. This fact alone is a good reason why Git is a good choice for a project that has non-developer users because it means if they make mistakes due to a less-than-perfect conceptual understanding it is no big deal.
By 1988 you had interesting collaborations over the internet using Xwindows and CMU's various Andrew explorations. IIRC it was too slow to do remote computing but you could load binaries over AFS from, say, MIT's network to run on a system at CMU (and vice versa). Most consumer networking, if you could call it that, was over the proprietary Compuserve, AOL, services as well as over Fidonet, Usenet (using uucp for point-to-point and nntp for networked servers). Colleges and universities also had BITNET, utilizing IBM's RSCS over SNA (mostly text, mostly IBM mainframes but not exclusively, for point to point email or mailing lists).
My point is that Arch culturally has an expectation that users will be comfortable with the shell. Perhaps you can run the system from the GUI once it's set up, but you have to get there which means setting the system up starting from a shell.
Melted cheese on a cracker sounds disgusting? Sounds like a pretty normal combination to me.
A lot of companies have found success in treating engineers fungibly. If you think of the engineers as part of the computer system, this actually adds resilience in that front, traded off by resiliency of the software itself.

If you lose 10 software engineers due to the bus factor, the fact that you already are treating engineers fungibly gives you resilience on that front.
"I basically upgrade for the camera improvements every year"

No wonder the earth is warming... You really need a new phone every year just for the camera ? I really don't get why anyone would do that without an actual professional need.
I'm not doing it consciously, this is how I feel.
It isn't obvious that deglobalizing is good for national security.

The imposition of sanctions is allowing NATO to counter Russia without firing a shot. A world in which we're able to work out our problems without shooting at one another may be a good one.

Retaining the capacity to decouple is important, but nurturing some level of interdependence may help us to find a way to work together. If we have nothing to lose by going to war, we'll have more wars.
I can but only imagine what kind of life derives annoyance from "annoying, superfluous HTTP requests on the local network".
At least the other way around is true sometimes, that the internet thinks Google's search results are theirs.
Isn't Europe continuing to buy from Russia. I don't know why people make a big deal out of a third world emerging economy buying from its trust worthy friend.
Am I the Lich king now? :)
as a general rule my ADHD tends to get my burned out on being at the same place, same tasks after 2-3 years, and then I decrease in productivity. So if the system was set up to retain me longer than that, I don't think I would take advantage of it anyway.
I was just in a coffee shop the other day and a man was telling the clerk he called in an order, and they took it, and he is there to pick it up. The shop had no record of this, and the number that he called was not their number. He said that is really weird, I talked to someone and they took my order.

I remembered the dark pattern deployed by GrubHub, and googled the shop. Sure enough the number was the same as the one the man called. The shop had no idea that this was going on, and apparently GrubHub failed to forward that order. This is being done with little or no indication to either party that someone is in the middle.
We're getting into ever more dangerous territory. We should find a way to de-escalate.
> the only time stuff like scratch makes sense is kindergarden when you're still learning to read

Strongly (well, moderately) disagree, but not necessarily because I think the Scratch language is well designed.

My nieces both started out in Scratch, and I don't know what they liked about it, but they bounced off everything else I had been trying to show them. It might have been the community aspect (I strongly suspect this had something to do with it), it might have been that Scratch is so limited that it stops being intimidating. I feel like there is a culturally taught fear of text editors among modern kids; my nieces are around really supportive people who think they're smart and encourage them, and I still think they still feel this sense that text editors are not designed for them? Could be my imagination.

I don't know what to think about it because I don't really 100% know why they (or anyone) likes Scratch. I can not stand Scratch, everything is way too hard to do, it lacks so many basic features that you have to approach every problem through the lens of some completely alien architecture where you're doing meta-programming to get basic stuff like dynamically allocated objects. This is a tool that is so limited in so many weird ways that it makes programming way harder than it should be. Everything about it from the UI to how it's structured to the performance: for me, it just makes programming into a chore.

But I can't deny that there's something there that makes it more accessible than other platforms -- and watching my nieces get into it was a big lesson to me in the limitations of saying, "but they're smart and understand the concepts of iteration and variables, why can't they just write Javascript?" They could, they're smart enough to do that, but Scratch resonates with them and Javascript doesn't.

I sympathize with the author's point of view (part of the reason I can't get into programming games is that everything enjoyable from them I can also get... programming). But there is something to these platforms like Scratch, Pico8, etc, that undeniably hits some people in a way that a traditional language doesn't, and whether or not Lisp/JS/C could capture kids the same way, something about them or the ecosystems around them is not measuring up for some kids. Some other kids are the opposite, probably. I got into programming with Flash/TI-83 Basic; I'm not sure where they on that spectrum between toy and tool they fall.
For anything that's not a hobby or personal website moving it to your home isn't really an option, for most businesses the pricing change is probably not going to make a big dent if you think about how high salaries are compared to cloud hosting costs.

I could not agree more. However most people are on windows for which obtaining gnu make is painful, or maybe even impossible - at least the path handling has many sharp edges.
It inspired a wonderful rebuttal from the dev, which I learned more about tradeoffs of speed versus complexity.
1km would be fantastic but I think 1000km would already give us a ton of information.

Everytime I email PDFs to my Kindle, I get a verification email with a link I have to click on. This same email says I can avoid this verification step by adding the sending email address as an approved sender (or whatever) which I've done. But then also I've got these sent emails with large attachments to go delete. So it's a pretty clunky workflow.
Computing the SHA sum of a file is plenty fast on modern hardware, nowhere close to the same time as a rebuild.

When there is a wafer shortage, flash devices can go to more layers rather than more chips. Less cost effective when wafers are cheap, but acts as a buffer as wafers get expensive.
To everybody with GMO anxiety: None of these modifications benefit the trees as much as they do us. Even if the traits can spread, they are unlikely to provide evolutionary benefits outside of cultivated spaces. basically: This isn't Jurassic Park, GMOs with human beneficial traits only really thrive while cultivated.

But "Unknown Unknowns" you say? I think the risk is a lot lower than not pursing almost every available means of scale-able carbon capture.
I’ve successfully used both together before :)

The makefile lets me be very expressive about task dependencies and encode some developer conveniences. Ie make can know `make bootstrap` should invoke bootstap_windows.sh on Windows and bootstrap_osx.sh on Mac. Then the work happens inside the appropriate script.

They’re two tools that solve different problems but they work together quite well.
Why even bother with rate-limiting if you can just ban the offending address?

If someone makes 10-9999 attempts to auth in the last 10 minutes just cut them off. Even a 15 minutes ban would makes most of the bots to go away. Make the ban longer (couple of hours is enough but you can use 24h or more, if you are paranoid) and you will never see the same bot again.

You can do it even with a simple PowerShell script.

Of course the best method would be to not to expose the RDP at all (RCE is still a thing) but...
Or a guy with a tophat! Dig it.
