You know what, you're right. Operators aren't at all "fundamentally unreadable", that was a dumb thing to say.

Operators in common usage, like ">>=", are not at all a problem, because as you suggest, they only need to be learned once and aren't easily forgotten. Operators that are never used are also not a problem, because they are never used.

But I do see a problem in the middle, where I see an operator, figure out what it does, and then don't see it again for some time. Re-learning less frequently used operators constantly is not very efficient.

Your fake names are a false choice. The trick is to find good descriptive names, and using a name that is annoyingly long is probably worse than using one that is frustratingly terse. The trick is to pick a good one.
I agree entirely. The influence of foreign money isn't that big when it comes to housing prices, even in the typical "foreign buyer" cities.

It's the sub 3% mortgage rates and 5% down special that are driving housing prices up.

Like you said, wait until interest rates hit even 6-7% and watch what happens to housing prices.

> Using a level of pressure no more than what I'd be willing to use for my own Nexus 5, I couldn't even get it to flex.

Of course, using a level of pressure you wouldn't apply to any phone... no-one in their right mind goes around "bending" phones. The thing is, when you have your phone in your pant pocket... and you squat down or something, the arch on your leg is going to easily create upwards of 50+ lbs of pressure at just the right place to create the bend. That's how my co-worker got a bend in his phone. That's right, a guy I personally know got a bend on his iPhone 6. That's why I think the 'only 9 people' line by Apple is absolute and total bull shit. It's infuriating that news journals are just buying it up like it's truth straight from God's lips.
Look, in this situation, we aren't getting slower speeds because of some upstream issue that's out of Verizon's control. We're getting the limited speed because of actions due to throttling by Verizon themselves, the people that promised those speeds.

I even understand if I am able to get 50mbps out of the 85mbps. But we're talking about 2mbps streams that are suffering.

I even understand if it's outside their control. I'm not unreasonable. But it's in their control, and caused by them, so yes, this situation is unique.

Wow, they were shocked and dismayed? You'd think a newspaper would have had a little more worldly experience. Methinks they are a bit too sensitive.
Why would you intentionally try and damage a device you don't own? If you were successful in bending the phone, then you'd probably be liable for criminal vandalism (or some other related offense). Not that Apple would necessarily press charges, but it still seems like a rather stupid thing to do.
Okay, thats genuinely terrifying.

But still, curl > script,read, run and youre good to go.
I can't believe we're having this discussion again (it caused drama in the libreSSL thread too). The packages are signed by Apple. You don't need SSL to distribute signed packages.

I have a younger brother in high school that has to use Google Classroom/Chromebooks/Google whatnot. Ask him anything through me.

What I've heard so far:

- It sometimes acts weirdly

- When it emails an assignment, the full text of the assignment is put in the title, resulting in comically massive titles.

- Using it at the same time as a personal gmail account is strange/not fun

- It doesn't have as many features as Edmodo (what the school was using before)

I'm a little disappointed that the author didn't investigate prescription drug sales. Google 'XanaxKing' if you'd like to understand something about how lucrative this trade is, and how popular it is on the deep web. These are professional operations moving significant quantities, so we're missing a major part of the market.

I would also have liked to see some indication of how the data was cleaned or some quality control measures, but understand that this was a quick experiment. More interesting data should surely follow in the second post that analyzes changes over time.
"Do you also consider rolling up the windows to be intrusion?"

Yes definitely. Really no different than if you would want someone to
enter your house to close your windows.

Now you might say "well what if it can be done from the outside" without entering?

That is a bit different.

Except for one thing. What if someone saw you doing that? What if the owner saw you doing that and didn't know why you were messing with their car? (I had this happen with a boat one time btw.). There is an immediately sense of shock because you don't know what is going on. And in that case who knows what will happen? Maybe they might start a fight or shoot you. That's not good for anyone. Maybe they have something valuable in the car that they think you are going after. Maybe they have serious mental problems.

Here's the point. It's one thing if you see a baby in a hot car and decide to take action. The benefit outweighs the risks. But it's another thing if you decide to roll up the windows to prevent someone's car from getting wet inside (covered by homeowners insurance with low deductible in many cases ntim though). Different story. Make sense?
You sound a touch too salty to be judging what constitutes "legitimate" press.
>The thing is, when you have your phone in your pant pocket... and you squat down or something, the arch on your leg is going to easily create upwards of 50+ lbs of pressure at just the right place...

Agreed.

I have bent extremely thick metal keys in my back pocket I assume just by squatting, and I am under 200 pounds in weight.

I only noticed because I went to unlock my door one day and the key didn't fit.

Thankfully I could hammer it back into place, but unfortunately the same is impossible with an iPhone.

If LEA is slow, don't use it. A simple ADD followed by DEC outperforms LEA in throughput, latency, and size in recent Intel chips.

If you're willing to reduce integers to 62 bits (and assuming no overflows are allowed), multiplication can also be simplified: (2x+1)(2y+1) = 4xy + 2x + 2y + 1. So:

t = x + y - 2; // + 1 - 3
p = x * y; // 4*x*y + 2*x + 2*y + 1
return (p - t) >> 1; // (4*x*y + 3) / 2

I'm saying humans value the will to live because humans are built to do so, at a very fundamental level, far below the level of rational (such as it is) thought. That drive has little to do with compassion, morality, love, etc. Or conversely, parts of those constructs are built around rationalizing the drive to live long enough to propagate our genes to ourselves and others.

Tl;dr: It's very hard to think rationally about the will to live.
Do you not understand analogies or something?
The Marquis reagent is commonly used to test MDMA. It will readily distinguish MDMA from cathinones (aka 'bath salts') which is a common adulterant or substitute. Operations like Dance Safe have popularized this, and the demographic using the deep web seems to be particularly aware of this test and its value.
> That's why I think the 'only 9 people' line by Apple is absolute and total bull shit.

More like your coworker is bullshit, or you are bullshit. No, Apple's "only 9 people" line doesn't mean only 9 people have ever seen a bend, but it does mean that only 9 people actually contacted Apple about having a bent phone. If your coworker really did bend his phone like that, his very first stop should have been the Apple Store, to get it replaced, and he would have been part of that "only 9 people" statistic.

So either you're making this up, or your coworker is.

Also, Consumer Reports tested the iPhone (and several other phones), and determined that it takes 70 pounds of force to bend an iPhone 6 (matching the force necessary to bend an HTC One), and 90 pounds of force to bend a 6+.

> the arch on your leg is going to easily create upwards of 50+ lbs of pressure at just the right place

Bullshit. If you're creating 50+ lbs of force on an item in your pocket by bending over, you'd be breaking stuff in your pocket all the time. 50 lbs of force is a not-insignificant amount of force. And of course it takes more than 50lbs to deform the phone anyway.
Speaking of Nexus 5... It is the only phone I've ever owned that has shattered. It was in the LG QuickCover case and fell from a height of about 15 inches. As it fell the case opened (as if it was designed to do this) and it appeared to hit the bottom right corner (which is covered by the case) followed by the front glass (uncovered). The crack started in the bottom left corner and covers about 1/3 of the phone.

I use ZooKeeper in production for snitch.io.

There are some interesting new alternatives such as etcd / serf/consul - but at the time ZooKeeper had the best track record (under Jepsen analysis). Things might have changed since then.

Aphyr has done a bunch of analysis of these systems part of his Jepsen tool: http://aphyr.com/tags/jepsen and http://aphyr.com/posts/291-call-me-maybe-zookeepe

If you are going to use ZooKeeper I strongly suggest looking at both Apache Curator and Netflix Exhibitor (they are complimentary).

The examples bundled with ZK don't handle all errors/edge cases...

Curator is a library of common patterns available to use mostly out of the box.

Exhibitor is a ZooKeeper "aware" supervisor system: https://github.com/Netflix/exhibitor

Apparently you must be punished for daring to let your partner use something that's still perfectly functional for many uses, when Apple has something newer!

Maybe they're saying you should upgrade for security reasons, but it'd be nice if they actually said it. Seriously, I'm failing to understand the amount of downvote-hate being focused on you right now, in every comment you gave in this thread. Sorry.
I looked over the schools I applied to (over a decade ago) and it seems like the Ivies have gotten a little pickier about giving credit for AP exams.

I just spot checked some of the brand-name non-Ivy schools that my friends attended and all but one offer actual college credit for AP exams: Stanford, Northwestern (varies by college; I only checked one), Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and NYU all give college credit for AP exams. Boston College only offers advanced placement.
Probably only applies to released versions of OS X. Apple treats beta a bit differently than I think many expect. It is a bit closer to the old school definition.
I'm 99% sure that does not apply to OS X.

Oh, you're right! And they also don't forward 'spam'! My mistake.
I believe Consumer Reports should redo with a 4 point bending test to end this controversy once and for all. Then we can compare all products on equal footing.
It looks like very few of your photos have captions, meaning that the algorithm doesn't have a lot of text to work with, and among those that do have text there are a few there which contain keywords that are probably heavily waited toward female such as "pink".

The algorithm could probably be improved to also take the instagram name into consideration. Someone named "arthur" is very unlikely to be female.
Nope, I was thinking of a change-of-address, and I was just mistaken.
It doesn't predict my account correctly:

PROBABILITY FEMALE: 0.997
PROBABILITY MALE: 0.569

I wonder if the fact that I mostly just post pictures with no text accompanying them skews things.
Small effort? According to Consumer Reports, it takes 90 lbs of force to bend an iPhone 6+. That's not small effort. That video just shows the guy was prepared and willing to push as hard as he could. Replace that iPhone 6+ with practically any other modern piece of electronic equipment and he'd probably have damaged that too.
As I read it before DHCP is implemented in the kernel in OS X and not glued together with bash scripts like in some cases in Linux.
No, it wouldn't expose those things. It would only expose things that OpenSSL itself had allocated/deallocated in that single process due to the way it was saving memory allocations for later re-use...

I thought about adding the qualifier "outdoor bugs" – indoor bugs are often problematic, but their elimination or suppression doesn't have much affect on the natural ecology.
Yeah, don't download and run binaries from random links on the internet either.

I don't think anyone is against recommendations of running "curl trustedsite.com/install | sh" except for the bad habits it teaches to people who don't know what curl and sh actually do, but wouldn't download and run a random exe.

Help forums are rife with suggestions to run "curl http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XXXX | sh" to solve technical problems. And not fringe forums either, but forums like the official Ubuntu forums.

I've literally never heard anyone "preach that curl | sh is evil" who wouldn't/isn't saying the exact same thing about binaries.
There is nothing new or special about the Twitter rulings in the UK. Whether you agree with it or not, if you wrote similar messages to someone via letter 20 years ago you could get in trouble. Simply changing the medium hasn't changed the legal ramifications.

Interesting. What's also interesting is that they allow signing in with the Google+ accounts.
4 points is not better than 3. If anything, the phone probably withstands more force when you're distributing it over 2 points instead of 1, because those points are (presumably) closer to the edges, and therefore don't have as much leverage.
To be fair, many of our judges have excellent senses of humour. Unlike the US we don't have a constitution, at times I feel like our batty old judges are all we have to protect us.
I suppose that's white privilege. It never occurred to either of us that they'd do anything other than make us pay for the phone.
Not sure the guy who bent the 6+ with his thumbs on that video was able to put 90+ lbs of force in them, but it has been noted that there is a very specific point of structural weakness just under the camera that allowed the phones to be bent this way. You can get very different figures depending on where you apply pressure.

Sure, and I'm not trying to defend them, but pulling access over unfavorable coverage isn't the same as never providing it in the first place.

We can argue the relative merits of different reasons to distance yourself from a publication, but unfavorable coverage (even unfair coverage) just seems childish and petty.
He did try another phone, but he couldn't bend it. Was he trying as hard? Meh, dunno. But CR should that 6+ was at least 50% easier to bend than some competition phones.
Unions may not be practical because of globalization and virtual workforce. What would be interesting though is agents.

Kind of like recruiters, but overall a more serious and professional bunch, for instance, you need to become certified/accredited in some way to be a "programmer agent".

They get paid, not like recruiters today. They negotiate on your behalf, they are your advocate in negotiations with the employer, and they get a standard 10% of your yearly salary.

You don't talk money at all, they negotiate your deal. Also they could act as your career adviser. Their interest would be a long-term relationship, and in your advancement, which may work better than in say sports or entertainment where the career lifespan is shorter.
Probably everything that is new gets a "1.0" designation, just in case.
> Assuming the value of a life can be assigned a simple scalar quantity seems like an unjustified assumption.

It's not a scalar quantity but a fuzzy one. My point is still valid.

> "Value" and "worth" imply that you have some expectation that life has to meet in order to be satisfied with it, that it has to be doing something or accomplishing something.

Definitely. Why would I live then? It should be doing something: be enjoyable. At the bare minimum.

> Your life, all life, simply is.

So...? I don't follow your point here. Just like it simply is, I can simply terminate it.

> There's no greater purpose necessary.

You're the one who brought a greater purpose here. I don't particularly care about my life's purpose. In fact, if it had a purpose, it could be wrong to terminate it.
How can I patch the bugs that are listed as still vulnerable?

Marquis, Mandolin, Mecke and Simon are all sold on DanceSafe and are used to determine only whether a substance contains MDMA (or other similarly desired chemicals) and whether or not it contains PMA and PMMA (undesirable and toxic chemicals). It does not ascertain the quality of such substances nor does it establish concentrations beyond trace amounts. Thank you for your input.
I never quite understood why everybody thinks storage should be in the local server and cannot be provided by a private company.

IMHO, storage is a commodity.

Would you argue that schools need their own power generators because otherwise they'll be submitted to private companies? Should schools also have their own satellites and internet connections?

If the data is sensitive why not just encrypting it when is stored the same way we do when we need to transmit something over the wire?

Now, from the school POV I think if they go for a private solution they should demand open standards (avoid being locked in) and appropriate SLAs.
Am I only one who find these videos moronic ? I mean, ofcourse it bends under what appears to be lot of pressure. My take is you shouldn't be affected if you don't wear too tight a jeans to make it bend.

> The population is growing much faster now than it was when more reservoirs were being built. California has grown ~40% (14.6 million) since 1980.

This at least makes sense on its face, though I was under the impression that the population wasn't using much of California's water consumption.

> The currently empty reservoirs show more are worthwhile.

This is total nonsense. By this argument, additional reservoirs would only stop being worthwhile if we never withdrew water at all. That's no better, and in fact much worse, than never building reservoirs in the first place.
