Exact. Same. Issue. All their solutions do not work. I've reset Apple ID and wiped all my old iOS devices. Roughly 90% of my friends cannot text me anymore.

What's comical about this is how easy it is to fix: have a cache that breaks weekly; upon new text message, ping Apple HQ and see if device is iOS and has iMessage installed; great, save for a week.
Yup. Tried resetting everything possible. So did Apple support. And they escalated to engineers who also said they have no more records of my number server-side.

But there's no way to clear the client side caches.
Which makes really good incremental collection much easier to write
Maybe they should also make micro-donations to the authors of videos possible?

They'd get a cut of the payment as profit and it would also "incentivize the content creators" (I feel dirty now.).
And you can also do that in Perl:

set_timeout sub {
__SUB__->() if should_recurse();
};

NB. __SUB__ was added at Perl 5.16 and so requires either:

use 5.016; # or newer

use feature 'current_sub';

I think the author is missing the point. Even the best products can falter if the company doesn't know how to get distribution. Unless you're an extreme outlier, you'll need both great product and great marketing. And that's really hard to get in one person.

Nope. I still have the iPhone. Everything is unlinked, deactivated, reset, etc in every way possible.
I am sorry for the hatred the author faced. I have friends in Pakistan and a few other dominantly Muslim countries. America is very diverse, and that is a two-sided coin. On one hand, we are filled with people who accept and fight for the rights of Muslims, and on the other there are (what I hope are a minority) of people who are anti-Muslim. As someone who grew up a Jew (but no longer practices), I faced a lot of ridicule simply for being a Jew (my case is trivial, but to my next point...). I learned to ignore it - the people who look down on you are not those whose opinions are worth evaluating.

EDIT: I'm an idiot - I did not realize that the article was a satire. :)
And the majority of stories deal with the former.
The truth is that command-line blame is a pain in the ass. Blame is great for finding out where a piece of code comes from, but (especially on big projects with many contributors) there's a lot of small churn with code being moved around, slightly altered, etc… CLI blame requires an extensive danse of "blame to find out last change before $(rev:tip)" "log with patch to find out if it's the change I'm looking for" "get previous revision", rinse and repeat until step 2 yields a match.

And for all the GUIs available, most of them either don't even touch blame, or just return the output of the CLI blame command. The only GUI I've seen so far which makes it easy to traverse history through blame is for bazaar (qblame/qannotate).
Yup, have been hit by this, but not as bad as I use both platforms. Glad you wrote about it though.
I think you'd need to slow down starcraft for it to be playable as the same game. People hit 60-100 actions per minute, like jumping around the map and directing units, setting build queues. Without hotkeys, you'd drop to around 20apm, and you'd be unable to do any micromanagment of units in battle. So it's not that any one action is impossible, just that lots of tactics that require many actions would be impossible.
Also make sure to tell them "Send as SMS" is enabled on their iMessage settings. This will automatically try to re-send it as a text without manual intervention.
Edit: I expected an analysis of the neurological effects of music, but was not disappointed to find a critique of a String Quintet instead.

I built an app like this a couple of years ago:

http://www.staysafeapp.com

When the time is up, you have to put a PIN in to give it the okay. There's a duress PIN, so even in the scenario where a kidnapper forces you to disable the app, it still achieves its goal. The alert is triggered from the server, so even if they smash your phone it still works (albeit without any more location tracking, obviously).

There's ways to handle most worst case scenarios, so long as you accept the possibility of false positives.
Modern smartphones just aren't really good gaming platforms. That's sad though, because all that computing power could support good games, but most of the mobile games are quite boring. Compare this to 2004-2006 period when Java games for dumbphones were popular - I remember playing a few really good ones. I think the key difference is that dumbphones had keys and were more like an actual controller. With touchscreens the situation is very different. I tried playing some NES games on an emulator, but the controls were awful. The "draw the keys on the screen" approach clearly doesn't work when it comes to games. Yes, there are special controllers that you can buy and use with your phone, but mobile game designers can't assume that everyone will have them, and they have to design their games with the touchscreen limitations in mind, which leads to games being not very interesting.

I'd say yes. The majority of my gaming is now on a PS3, but not being with me all the time means much, much less time spent on it.
The future change so far is that the more complex parts of TPM are emulated in software on the CPU (TPM 2.0 in "firmware TPM" mode).

Vendors can introduce other crypto misfeatures without riding the TPM wave, and they can do so more easily by bypassing the TCG, which standardizes TPM (standardization is expensive).

For example (using Intel names and products as examples, some of these exist in similar fashion in other platforms):

- RDRAND (the in-cpu random number generator you may or may not want to trust)

- AESNI (the in-cpu AES implementation you may or may not want to trust)

- Anchor Cove ("only start the computer with 'correctly' signed firmware" - that is, stop owning your machine, no matter the effort)

- TXT ("run 'trusted' code that can control more of the machine than even your firmware - after you passed through Intel code, which is sometimes faulty and exploitable")

- SGX ("encrypt memory ranges in-CPU, so even the OS or TXT code can't make sense of them anymore" - but maybe Intel can?)

- AMT ("a coprocessor running several megabytes of code, with access to RAM, network, input and output devices" - what could possibly go wrong?)

Many of these ship already, some can't be disabled. Some are in the "won't hurt, won't help" department (eg SGX), some might be actively harmful (eg AMT, TXT, RDRAND). Most features look like Intel was mostly concerned with building the "Protected AV Path" Hollywood longs for so much (and they're usually advertised with that angle, too).

In that light I don't fear the TPM (a passive chip that does nothing unless some code running on the CPU asks it to) whose main issue is that it might be ineffective.
Thanks for sharing. Git has some osom hidden commands!
Preventative step: set your outbound iMessage "caller id" to your email address instead of your phone number. Do this now, before you're bitten by the bug. (Apple's degraded QA as of late on iOS means you'll also have to change it back on ALL your devices on the account any time you add or remove any devices or numbers to iMessage or FaceTime on that Apple ID, too.)

This way, all your contacts are iMessaging with your email address, not your phone number. It means it will keep working when you travel internationally and switch SIM cards, and it means you can disable it easily via your Apple ID should you ditch the iPhone.
> Apple, as gatekeeper had (has?) the opportunity to fix this.

Why would it be in Apple's interests to prohibit micro transactions in games? On the contrary, they do make a 30% cut of the sales, don't they?

Even if Apple did change their policy, there's still Google, Amazon, Russian Yandex and Chinese app stores that do allow this. If Apple (or anyone else) disallows this, the game publishers will release their stuff on the markets that do allow IAPs.

Although it seems like Apple have had some bad PR and having to refund some (32M$ !) of kids' purchases: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57617270-37/apple-to-refun...

> Apple has a noose of very bad karma around it's neck because of this.

Only some gamers complain, this isn't really hurting Apple's image as a whole enough to make them take action.

I'm guessing this phenomenon will die by itself given some time. Gamers and parents are already revolting. When more parents will prevent their kids from using their credit cards, a (major?) part of the money supply will run dry and the game publishers will have to come up with other business models.

>Google claims to "anonymize" IP addresses, but it turns out that they only obscure the last two or three digits, which isn't enough to conceal the identity of the individual.

Is there any reason why they wouldn't just hash the IP?

They only need to see it once to extract useful information from the IP itself.

Any time you cross a border with goods, there's a question that is asked about if this is for personal use or not. Sometimes this is on a form, sometimes in person, but the answer to this question changes what is allowed and what fees need to be paid.

Since you are operating a business service, you need to ensure that a) it is legal to take that item across that border, and b) The relevant fees are paid for an import business (not for personal use)

It doesn't take a lawyer to see that you'd be in trouble for not following the laws of the land your couriers are traveling to. But you do need to run this past a lawyer (and probably a set of lawyers, one for each jurisdiction) before you get one of your couriers thrown in jail.

It is possible to run this legally, but then the process won't be as cheap as I think you're expecting it to be.
Most of the people that I have loaned to through Kiva are people with a very low standard of living (relative to the west) which means they do not have access to computers and without the Kiva field partners they would not have been able to obtain a loan. Does Zidisha do anything to address this? The interest rates that Kiva field partners charge aren't great (and it's great to see an offering that goes a long way to solving that problem, along with allowing loan forgiveness!) but they seem to be a necessary evil, as they support the expense of helping people who don't have the ability to request a loan directly.

For example, can I use Zidisha to support people like Salamatu: http://www.kiva.org/lend/625549, or is Zidisha something I should use alongside Kiva to help the more fortunate borrowers?

Most other countries use washing machines with much less capacity and water ue (side loaders vs. top loaders), have different toilet flushing systems with smaller loads, and generally put a much higher premium on drinking water. If you compare the US to the UK, also take into account the very different climate. Due to the relatively tame and wet weather, there is almost no irrigation in the UK. Case in point: There is no place like Vegas, in the middle of the desert, with golf courses and fountains all over the place.

I don't understand why you think people won't trade Bitcoin for goods and services. I use Bitcoin at every vendor that accepts it, especially if there's a discount involved. It costs me 1% to replace the Bitcoin since my paychecks are in dollars (for now), but it's a much more reasonable policy than holding and never spending.

Normal folks won't use Bitcoin until merchants pass some of the savings they get to their customers as discounts, or until inflation gets out of control.
This would also work if a friend lent him their phone.

Of course, he'd have to do a backup > wipe > setup phone with his iCloud account & SIM > change settings > wipe > restore from backup... but, honestly, this is the process I had to do and it took about 5-10 mins tops.

I had this same exact problem, and this was by far the easiest solution. Just need to have a friend willing to you let you manhandle their phone for a little while.

> TortoiseHg also has a bisect command in the Workbench. (But command line hg doesn't seem to have it.)

It does, since v1.0 (so about 6 years ago): http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html#bisect

As is usually the case, it's not active by default.

> Rails experts will know what went wrong here: After bisect moved backward, the db:migrate had no way of knowing which database changes to reverse, because the migrations that were now in the "future" relative to the latest checkout were removed before I ran the migrate.

And you can't even do that automatically, because git doesn't have a pre-checkout hook (assuming bisect uses checkout internally, which I'm not certain of)

A Skeptics Guide to the Mind by Robert Burton touches on the same subject; the gulf between modern neuroscience and what we actually understand about the mind. Burton points that we still are in many circumstances unable to differentiate between conscious from unconscious thought. A brain scan can only tell us about the brain but not necessarily about the mind.

I know a ton of people who have this problem, it's a huge issue. My mom recently switched to a Moto X and couldn't get any text messages from my sisters. When she called Apple for support, they told her they would not help her unless she paid a fee for phone support. Read that again: they wanted her to pay extra money to properly leave their ecosystem. If they wanted her to come back to Apple it backfired, she'll never touch another iDevice after that snub.

I didn't see the correction. I don't know many people who run the tap when washing the dishes. Generally I plug the sink and spend 1-2 minutes filling it with water. It still seems to work out less but I guess it depends on how ofter you fill the sink/run the dishwasher.

In that case, you seem to have run into a separate bug. This is what worked for me when I switched back to Android. How long have you been waiting?
Exception profile and work. I never seen anything similar and never really thought that this was possible. Really stunned :-)
The saddest part about this story is perhaps the fact that iMessage was supposed to be open and allow other phone builders to use it. Having it truly cross-platform in the first place would have avoided a situation like this :(
I had this happen to me, and I was only able to receive texts on my new S4 after disabling iMessage on my old iPhone and iPad.
What would be unethical is if you tried to coerce him into somehow not spending it.

The money is not a college fund. Your customer's previously-held inaccurate predictions of the future turned out to be false. He changed his mind. Your assertion that it "is intended for paying for college" is false. It is intended for paying for roulette.

It is not your right to choose for others how they spend their money.

Stop trying to control other people because of your certainty in the belief that you know what's best for them.
So it's clearly a bug or intentional misfeature by Apple.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If no such implementation exists, even though there are a number of languages predicated upon immutability, one would conclude "virtually pause-less GC" isn't such an obvious or easy "possible benefit" of immutable structures.

Unless you're using refcounting: since immutable structures can't create cycles, a refcounting GC won't need a cycle-breaker, and thus won't need to ever pause. But you'll be using throughput (especially for allocation I'd guess).

Also not sure what your point is re. Azul, immutability is not what enables it since Zing is first and foremost a java VM.
My daughter had a similar problem. She has no data plan on her iPhone and she found that texts from some friends seemed to be delayed. Messages were not being sent/received until she connected to Wi-Fi.

To fix, her friends who previously used iMessage to reach her had to start a new SMS conversation (or turn off iMessage entirely). If her friends just continued the conversations that started via iMessage, she could not get them via SMS.
Had the same thing happen to me with a friend (me on iOS, him on iOS->Android) - it seemed to me that the trick was to press 'Send as Text Message' when the message fails to deliver. From then, it seems to work fine, as that probably forces a check on the Apple ID validity.
