> Apple should allow interoperability

This is very amusing given that Google wants to charge people to have RCS that can interoperate with their proprietary closed source implementation of RCS.

> If you want to implement RCS, you'll need to run the messages through some kind of service, and who provides that server? It will probably be Google. Google bought Jibe, the leading RCS server provider, in 2015. Today it has a whole sales pitch about how Google Jibe can "help carriers quickly scale RCS services, iterate in short cycles, and benefit from improvements immediately." So the pitch for Apple to adopt RCS isn't just this public-good nonsense about making texts with Android users better; it's also about running Apple's messages through Google servers. Google profits in both server fees and data acquisition.

That hyperbole is just that. Overly dramatic nonsense. If the other parties want to win an election they first must elect a leader who themselves speak to the remainder of Canadians. Which is something they managed to do even more badly this time around.

When you look at near-history serial killers - ie the famous cases of the 50s-80s, you often find the phrase 'unwanted child' who was neglected/abused by a mother that didn't want the child, often born as a consequence of sex work. In some cases the child was abandoned and sent a broken care system that brought them up with a traumatic childhood.

Legalise abortion and the number of those children brought up with such a defining childhood fall, not completely, but statistically serial killers are rare anyway.

It may be a good time to quote this article:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10759919/Lawrence-F...
Serial killing and mass killing aren't the same thing. I like to think of mass killing as "parallel killing." The "serial" refers to one killing event after another, whereas mass killing is lots of killing in single events.

Having said that, you are right - technology might be better at finding and stopping serial killers, but doesn't really do much at all for finding and stopping parallel killers. Mass killing is way up, so the article's conclusion is not really all that reassuring.
84" long, which judging from the images means the lowest bass string is around 44" long. That's equivalent to a relatively short cross-strung upright piano, so there's nothing particularly special about the string length (longer generally sounds better).

I wonder how well the sound board would resonate.

I wonder if you could improve it by stringing the bass strings right across behind the treble strings. You could fit longer strings that way.

The hammers get further down the strings as you go. That's kind of normal but it's a bit different to normal here. Might affect the sound in some interesting way.

Neat! Hope it doesn't kill the surrounding cells, too...

Sounds like it's meant to single out dividing cells with damaged DNA. But something broad-acting seems more likely to carry unintended consequences. (Eg, if it turns out all liver cells 'look' damaged.) And this is why we have multistage trials.

I went to a dentist for 20 years. He was a visiting professor in a dental school and was of the school, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." My teeth are basically good and I take care of them well.

After he retired the new dentist who bought the practice had no end of things she wanted to do. I have a new crown or two and new fillings. What really got to me is that she kept wanting to put me in braces. I'm 67. I said no once, twice, thrice.

After that I found a new dentist who was a colleague of my old dentist. No unnecessary work!! I'm glad I left that practice.
It's not prosecuted murders. The baseline stats aren't built on that number, they're built on the race of the perp when known.

At this point I would doubt that pro pianists could tell the difference in a blind test environment.

Regardless of what pianists will tell you, there is just one variable (hammer velocity) to actual sound production (by that point the hammer is decoupled from the key and whatever you do to the key after the first 5-7 mm of travel is of no consequence).

So the only "real" problem to solve is correctly measuring the desired speed and launching the hammer quickly enough.

Obviously the way to make profit is to charge more than you spend.

Literally the definition.
When you say “Zoom customers decide … whether to share customer content with Zoom”…

Can you elaborate on whether this is opt-out or opt-in? Does a new user who starts to use Zoom today have this turned on by default?

Usually when companies say things like “customers decide” it can gloss over a lot of detail like hidden settings that default to “on” or other potentially misleading / dark patterns.

Given the obvious interest in the finite details being discussed in this thread, and your legal background, it would be good to hear a bit more of a comprehensive response if you can provide it.

Yeah, it is a crazy markup and it's why they were able to increase their ARR by 58% this last year. I think the more frustrating thing is lack of serious competition in the space to keep them from jacking up the prices down so much. Lyft should be drastically undercutting Uber in order to force them to lower prices or out of the market but they aren't, instead they are on average charging more. Need better startups in the space
Then allow iMessage to interoperate freely, problem solved. Very interested in the implementation of the new EU rules about this.
This depends extremely heavily on the market. In my city a 4.5 mile ride is nearly always around $15 if it's not raining.
Uh, sharing news articles is most of what people do here on this site. Why is it uniquely bad when people do it on Facebook instead?
I am very happy with my current life right now, which does not require a car at all on a regular basis, but I was lucky enough to inherit an old car that I use for weekend trips out of town and generally getting around to areas that would be difficult or impossible to reach by public transit. I drive about once a week on average, but that average belies just how tremendously valuable the car has been in terms of saving me time. It's been worth every penny and then some. But This is more or less an ideal scenario that I wish everyone had access to, even though I know most people don't. Often you have to choose 2 of the 3: good access to transit, room to park a car, and enough money in the budget for a car.
How about some secondhand hearsay? I've heard this same thing from Lyft drivers. Their customers are all pissed, the drivers ask why, it's because a $30 ride is costing them $100. Meanwhile, the driver still just gets the usual rate
I’m curious about what’s the best way to go about gathering user feedback and feature requests. You can’t develop a product for people to use behind closed doors, because you run the risk of building the wrong product. Conversely, if it’s too out in the open then anyone and their parents might have suggestions to improve which will drag you away from the core thesis of your product/PMF.

I guess another way to ask my question is - is the aforementioned sequence of steps (please add X, string of +1s, PRs welcome, etc) a bad thing?

Mass murder≠serial murder. Serial murder requires three or more murders committed by the same perpetrators with more than a month of time between each murder.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder was, to my mind, the first of the realists. By that I mean and artist/filmmaker/photographer etc who address the every day and the here and now. Of courses, it still has the artifice of art, which is to say that it is a 'realism effect' rather than true realism. One can draw a straight line from Pieter Bruegel to the shakey cam of movies like Cloverfield, which is another class of realism effect.

I dont use facebook anymore and think life is better without it so I dont even care about the merits you listed. Even still, it doesnt mean we should legislate this opinion on others.

Regardless, Canada isn’t protecting people from facebook. They didn’t ban news sharing, they just wanted to give their media companies a cut.
To some extent, I don't know how much I care. This is my employers problem, not mine.

I'm as horrified as you are by the rate of mass shootings in the US but this is a basic misunderstanding of terminology on your part. Criminology distinguishes between mass killings (single event), spree killings (multiple separate killings rapidly with no "cooling off" period between them), and serial killings
Looks like this could be made useful as an alternate kernel to boot to if you configfure GRUB to reliably include this particular boot option.

From the forum admin:

>The install script just installs the kernel. You still need to configure grub to prefer Liquorix if it's not already. Not knowing how your bootloader operates and how to configure it is a recipe for disaster.

So you are expected to put a certain level of Grub ninja ability into action after you have run the install script.

And defend valiantly against disaster.
What is the point of the support contract then?
Fighting them means offering less destructive ways to release those urges, and for the vast majority of people, that's what casinos are.

If we're talking about destructive urges, another popular one would be alcohol, and yet we have many many examples of how it needs to be accessible to an extent to serve as a release, even if sometimes it still causes serious damage.
I personally suspect inequality in social status among such victims to be rising as well.

Before times, you had propaganda of the deed, serial killers, political violence etc. keeping elites on their toes. Now the Columbine meta has solidified and that has turned Wal*Marts and public schools into shooting galleries for these rage-filled losers to maximize their KDR by shooting in high-density and low-defense areas.

As an Australian, it was extremely obvious that image was fake the second it was seen simply because we had a policeman with a machine gun like that.

If you're going to claim Australia is a "police state" I'd urge you to consider just how foreign the idea of police ever pulling a gun is to anyone here.

For background, I grew up with my Dad in the police. I had literally never seen a gun in person until I went overseas.
I am in the USA but my grocery store trips are not at all like you describe. I walk to the grocery store, collect groceries in a single basket and have them loaded into one or two bags which I walk home with. I do this 1 to 3 times a week.

No matter the quantity of groceries, a professional can ring it up faster than I can.

> Moreover, sometimes the bagging had been historically done by paid staff, so people weren’t used to doing it themselves

Sometimes, but usually there is something like a 1:5 ratio (or lower) of baggers to cashiers so bagging your own while the cashier rings you up has always been common. The way I see it, bagging isn't really a real job, usually the store hires mentally disabled people to do it as a sort of charity to the community (also the feds pay half of their wages.) Anyway, bagging is easy. I don't have to deal with an obtuse machine to put some stuff in a bag.
When it comes to ridiculous EULA provisions like in this thread, are any of those competitors any better? Of course the open source ones are, but do people actually use those? Maybe they're popular in Europe, but I certainly won't be able to convince a potential American employer to interview me over Jitsi any time soon.
> But those games were generally less accessible, mostly not multiplayer, and again lacked the brand power.

Creative Assembly's Total War series had good and popular games but their popularity exploded when they made a Warhammer game despite the original fanbase preferring historical games and many hoping for a TW Medieval 3. Most games with the Warhammer IP at that time were mediocre at best. So brand doesn't carry on it's own and it helps when your target audience has nothing else that they might be interested to play when your game is released. Diablo 4 sucks and Pillars 2 was released in 2018.
Not at all.

No, C is not better. C is much worse. C lacks basic primitives that allow programmers to do useful abstractions and let them concentrate on the business logic rather than on the low level details of every functions.

You maybe can write small program easier on C as long as you can fit everything in someone's head. And that's why all complex low level programs are written in C++ and not C. (With the Linux Kernel being an exception, because of its stupborn maintainer)

And what about the drawbacks mentioned on the article? 99% of programmers don't need to care about them. The reasons such article exists is precisely because some people love C++ and like to play with their language.

I think the famous Max Howell tweet is right in some ways, but for me it helped me develop a self-defeating attitude just as I was entering the job market. I never even tried to learn algorithms until now, and it turns out it's not that hard! I'm done eroding my self confidence out of some sense of correctness or fairness.

This morning, I just inverted a binary tree for the first time, and it took me about 10 seconds to recognize the algorithm and about 60 seconds to code. It's simpler than fibonacci, and I'd encourage anyone who isn't confident in their algorithm skills to learn how to do it.

To be fair, this is after about a month of studying 4-5 hours per week. So 20 hours of free time spent to gain a measure of confidence that I can switch jobs when I want to.
