That's probably not quite true. Take an app that the user is already likely to have given access to their photos, like Facebook. Create a malicious app with the same app identifiers, sign, and push to the user. At that point, the phone thinks it's Facebook, and should allow access.

That said, it'd be kind of unsubtle, and they'd probably get caught.
I personally don't mind paying a couple of euros more, but I find the available selection unsatisfactory.
It's a cascade, isn't it? Money that used to go into Treasuries has shifted into money-market funds, money from those has shifted into equities and bonds, money from those has shifted into riskier equities and bonds and so on.
while there's the original language available, the video stream itself seems to be the localized version, i.e. burnt in screen texts are german.
Legit question: why buy each version? Is it just for fun, or is it because the new versions have a feature you craved? Or is it because something went wrong with your current version? I have a three year old Kindle and, as far as readers go, it's good. I'm trying to think what would make me upgrade and I'm just not seeing a compelling reason in these new versions. Mostly the new features seem to add things I don't want/care about: touch, GoodReads integration, etc.
So far i've only watched a few shows and one movie. They all had the _original_ audio track and german subtitles as an option, but not necessarily an english audio track.
I've seen English sub options on one or two movies, so fingers crossed it's an ever improving library.
I checked Netflix when it was released in Germany (been using it for quite some time via VPN) and there were English subs for Penny Dreadful at least.
That depends on which camp you plant your flag. Dr. Ron Rosedale would probably have something to say about that insofar as any overintake of dietary glucose is a bad thing. We simply don't need even moderate amounts of it in our diets, especially for primarily sedentary lifestyles.

His position is that even a small degree of glycosylation contributes to accelerated aging, albeit the degree of which determines how chronic and insidious that damage will actually be.

I tend to agree with his take on the matter. Objectively speaking, especially if you subscribe to the insulin hypothesis of adiposity, there are several "unhealthy" biomarkers that occur as a result of intaking deep-fried twinkies and mountain dew — irrespective of peri-indiscretion nutrition.
Murder 'comes naturally' to chimpanzees
This is hardly a unique situation for the US. There are lots of countries where the state is surveilling their own citizens en masse, some for much more nefarious purposes, and it's not all tiny dictatorships either - plenty of large Western countries are doing it. From my perspective (as someone in the UK) it's actually really refreshing that in the US, some companies are pushing this as a competitive advantage. That means people actually care about it and will make decisions based on it, which is far better than the total apathy I'm surrounded by here. Companies having to work to minimise what is released to the government is not unique to the US; the fact that they are however is relatively rare.

Ahh yes, I assumed we were talking about messages.
I've been in two interviews where they asked me to code without googling or looking at the reference.

Personally, I think it's as absurd as writing shell scripts on a computer with no `man`, or without being able to refresh your memory with `<command> --help`. Good luck with that!

I was in an interview where they asked me to configure specific firewall rules on a notepad with no access to a terminal, so I couldn't check man iptables for stuff like how to match certain sources/destinations hosts/IPs. And I was not too familiar with the opts (was it --dest, --dst, or -d? and how do calculate the network mask for this range of IPs?). It was also for a junior position so I thought they were taking a piss at me and simply told them so.
I don't think there's a "standard" however you might want to poke at some or all of.

Most sugar-free gum uses some type of sugar alcohol (e.g. xylitol, erythritol). These are not technically-speaking considering NAS.

Someone should analyse the distribution for how close it is to a Poisson Disc / blue noise. Looks pretty good from the satellite images.
Ok, so I guess what I'm looking for here is how to implement our "database" as a client side data model that can do its thing, with the immutable structures (mori?) so that React can figure out what's updated super quickly, and a way to make sure the app knows that it's been updated.

I need examples, basically!

Ideally I'd have an API to my datastore, which in turn would handle telling React what I've updated.

It feels like I'm just not "getting" something with Mori.

Say our state looks like this in a normal JS structure:

appState = {
widgets: [{name: 'blah', data: {'text': 'hello', articles: [{}]}}, ...}],
pageTitle: 'Hi!',
user: {name: 'Derp'},
notifications: 5
};

How would I even represent that with Mori?

Say I got a push from the server that I had 6 notifications, how would I change the state to represent this?

Say I wanted the widget to do an API call to update it's articles, and add any new article data to that. How would I do this?
This. This attitude feels most alien to me as a European in discussions about gun control ("the cops can't protect you"), freedom of speech, social welfare, public health care, public education and so on. As an outsider it feels as if individualism is valued over the common good to an almost impractical extent sacrificing innumerable benefits to some ideal of personal freedom.

But of course this perception isn't unbiased. It just feels strange to observe a culture that seems very similar but then and again shows facets that couldn't feel less natural to me.

Are you referring to the salivary amylase mechanism? Sounds similar but actually requires starch to be activated.

I'm aware of no RCT or even epidemiological research to suggest that NAS causally mediates insulin response.
I liken this to Intel's "tick tock" development approach. If they're moving to a new microarchitecture they stay on the same process, and if they're doing a process shrink they use the same microarchitecture. Working out the kinks of a new process can be done with a microarchitecture that's solid, and vice versa.

I'm not sure how it compares, but this is a common complaint in the US as well. I assume it's huge compared to the Austrian library, but people usually complain that streaming only has the things people don't want to watch - hence the huge uproar when they doubled the price on mail+streaming.

That used to be the case. Nowadays you have teams of two or three, which are at the same time up against the external threat and the institution within which they work. Lone heroes saving the day in spite of the incompetence (or corruption) of their colleagues.

And then there's this recent influx of zombie movies - the libertarian paradise, where no one tells you what to do, there is perfect free trade facilitated by the proliferation of firearms within general population, and where everything that moves in a group larger than 20 is a mindless mass trying to kill you.
Using a switch on an encoded value was my first thought too after seeing the pattern, and I think it's actually quite an elegant way of doing it - forming an array index from booleans and doing a table lookup with that. It's even clearer when the cases are ordered as

(false, false, false) => { ... } // 0
(false, false, true ) => { ... } // 1
(false, true , false) => { ... } // 2
(false, true , true ) => { ... } // 3
(true , _ , _ ) => { ... } // 4-7 (could be the default case)

Here's a possible small improvement that could, depending on the compiler, get rid of a few branches:

#define WIDTH_BIT 2
#define WIDTH (1<<WIDTH_BIT)
#define MARGIN_LEFT_BIT 1
#define MARGIN_LEFT (1<<MARGIN_LEFT_BIT)
#define MARGIN_RIGHT_BIT 0
#define MARGIN_RIGHT (1<<MARGIN_RIGHT_BIT)
...
unsigned int flags = !!width << WIDTH_BIT
| !!margin_left << MARGIN_LEFT_BIT
| !!margin_right << MARGIN_RIGHT_BIT;
...

I'm not too familiar with Rust and Google isn't being helpful, so does anyone know how the Rust compiler implements pattern matching? Does it do something like the above or does it resort to if/else conversion?

What do you dislike about the messaging app?

I initially felt corralled into installing it but now I use it quite frequently to participate in small group discussions with my friends. Actually, I should clarify: it's almost exclusively one group discussion that we use to organise our social lives (last-minute day trips at the weekends, beers after work, that sort of thing). Email has become fragmented (not universal; everyone has a number of accounts), there is no group option on SMS, and Twitter is too public. There isn't a comparable communication medium in use within my social circle.

I find the app experience pretty reliable and straight-forward. I especially like the option to 'snooze' chats for an hour or two (I'm trying to get some work done and my friends are all telling jokes) or until the next morning (I'm engaged this evening and don't want my phone pinging all the time).

(As it appear to be relevant and give context to this discussion, I'm a late-20s English male.)

Which "business model" is that? Being monopolistic through their own proprietary format? Yeah, monopolies don't want to give up their monopoly power. Go figure. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be demanding that their power is reduced.
The funny thing is that adding generics will also improve error handling as you would be able to make that Result<T> generic from Swift and implement flatMap for it. This would be as good as exceptions, if not better because its very explicit and can be made compatible with the existing mechanism.

This is why I find it unbelieveable when Go users tell me "I never need generics". I look at their code and see

if err = logit(FrobulatingMessage); err != nil {
return err
}

Well, it's not just punishment lashing is good for. It's also very good as a discouragement of course. He does propose that for serious (violence-involving) crimes there should always be prison for the reasons you mention.

You've got a lot of reasonable responses above.
Regardless whether is legal or not (I guess not), I´m sure is fairly common in the US as well.

The strength of Netflix (and Spotify, Steam...) is that they offer a service that is more convenient, and offers more value, than just downloading the torrent, at least for a large number of users.

I hope they are successful in Europe as well, although the limited library will surely be a problem.

Have you read an advanced reading copy of either book?

I wish your talk was available by video, yeah. I've gone through it though. Well done!

It seems like Lean Branding ( the book ) and your talk on Lean Branding seem to have a different definition of Brand than The Lean Brand and Bill Beard do ( only lightly reading through Beard so far ) ... the difference being Brand as Relationship and Brand as Identity.

But as I go through your talk, you seem to use a lot of the same terminology as The Lean Brand, and have the same core focus, compared to Lean Branding.
