This might be naive of me, but how did you have a billion euro risk on a portfolio of 2 billion euros? How do you assess that risk to now be instead 50 million euros?

With respect, this seems like numbers were plucked out of somewhere. I propose that, if these come from a statistical model, it's the model that paints your position in the most optimistic light.

I don't judge you for that, but you should really read this article and look out for other fallacies of statistics.
If you like a challenge, why did you fold from the challenge of enjoying a sense of community with those that appear uninteresting to you? Everyone has something to learn and something to teach. I bet if you'd stuck it out, there was much you could have learned from them, and them from you. Closing yourself off in a room robs both you and them from a chance to grow.

I like the empowerment angle of this story, but a couple of the comments raise the valid question of whether or not this (further) breaks society.
I was able to make sense of the post.

I'd say Apple prioritizes their customers' rights to have a secure, safe, functional device that's reasonably free from concerns over things like malware and other malicious app behaviors. This has some developer downsides, but as both a customer and a developer on Apple products, I'd prefer they prioritize the user experience over development.

You're right, and it also lacks the professionalism that is found in most EFF campaigns.

Our company donates to EFF, so you could say that we support their efforts, but this particular campaign is garbage.
How is that a fair comparison?

RedHat is POSIX compliant so why don't you just lump in every POSIX compliant device ever made? /s

Are people lambasting them for not developing for Apple? Or are people lambasting them for all the accompanying crocodile tears?
When I did mission critical work we basically did not use libraries if at all possible. You need to know how everything works, and you need to be able to fix it. I'm pretty sure the NASA paper is written within that context.

But yes, that is a huge pet peeve of mine. I have all my QT header includes wrapped with pragmas to turn off warning because otherwise they spit out endless, useless warnings.
If you are really happy then just ignore me, this advice is freely given and freely ignored. I only give it because of a perception I have based off of a small glimpse into your life. So if you are happy just ignore it and move on, hopefully I can offer a different perspective.

Sometimes the most difficult thing is to go out of our comfort zone. I'm guessing that's what you want to here from this community, and I'd say it's true. I did the same thing in high school, but I did have a core group of friends who got me (they didn't even attend my hs). My advice is to seek out people who's friendship will last beyond your current situation and who are easy for you to talk to. Difficult people to talk to are important but they aren't the ones we latch onto thought life.

Also, sometimes the hardest thing for me is to talk to people who I think are not as smart as I am, but everyone knows something you don't, even if that is what is fissionable. And who knows you might find someone with common interests, or who wants to talk to you about your game.
3 - a compiler adds a new warning that triggers on existing code.

So when you go to do a minor fix, do you also touch other code that now triggers a warning?
> And the telco of Nexus is Google!

It isn't, Google doesn't run their own mobile network or mobile virtual network (yet).

Contacting the technical support team of the company that provides you the SIM card that is inserted into the Nexus device will have an effect.

I know it seems backwards because the issue has actually been introduced with Google's OTA update but those technical support calls get escalated and eventually they'll end up back at Google (via the team that deals with carrier interaction).
Is NuPlayer a 5.0 only option? (My son's Nexus 5 isn't in front of me.) Using 4.4.4 here, with no plans to upgrade.
Perhaps due to the context of this link, I read "Apple" as "Apollo"
Funny that you got downvoted considering the OP is a new account that seems to have been created to post this exact story.
Agreed 100%. The number of people defending the author(s) of the code or saying the user should have backed up their data is disturbing. This isn't about protecting programmers' egos, it's about not deleting users' data.
Allow me to add Elfquest, Cerebus the Aardvark, TMNT, Love and Rockets, and R. Crumb! Not sure if all of those are American or not, but a few of the non-superhero books I (as an American) grew up with.

Of course none of them was ever that widely known (apart from TMNT after it stopped being a comic), so the original point about the US and superheroes certainly remains.

I imagine it's partly due to the legacy of the CCA [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics_Code_Authority].
And this is a huge problem for Marvel and DC, as if they don't address the decline in popularity with children, the US comics market is set for continued decline.

They can't continue to reap the benefits of that market segment if they don't ensure there's ongoing recruitment into it.

How Can Jailbreak iOS 8.1.2 with TaiG Jailbreak Tool
Well...the phone itself is over two years old now, which means it's about 18 months out of support if you're equating it with certain other vendors' devices; Nexus phones actually fare better than some other devices. That said, the fact that Google decided to push 5.0 to it is in itself amazing to me, Nexus status or not.

I have a Nexus 4 that runs 5.0, and when I've switched to it from my Windows phone I've noticed that I randomly have no call audio in the cellular dialer as well as the Hangouts dialer. I guessed it was something to do with the 5.0 release but I figured as little as I use the phone, it was nothing to worry about. But the more I think about it, the more I'm tempted to revert to 4.4 since this is my only backup phone, and I'd rather have it ready to go at the expense of playing with 5.0.
This is illogical and amateurish. The title of the petition claims that Apple (1) tramples free speech and (2) innovation. Yet the detailed verbiage of the complaint gives no evidence that they trample free speech, and if their contract terms trample innovation it is a matter of interpretation. Apple's developer agreement bans developers from talking about the developer agreement. A bit draconian, perhaps, but hardly a trampling of "free speech", and actually quite common within contracts generally. The other complaints are simply silly. What's wrong with Apple insisting that developers not jailbreak their devices? What's wrong with Apple approving their own security updates? And we can debate about the morality of DRM, but if you want to see the difference between a DRM-protected environment and an unprotected environment, look at the difference between the App Store and Google Play. Profitability for developers, quality of software, absence of viruses... DRM does accomplish some positive results. And whether it does or doesn't, in no sense are anyone's "rights" quashed here.

It's a contract, people. It can say whatever the parties to the contract agree it should say. If you don't agree with it, don't bang free speech drums and shout yourself hoarse about "rights." Just don't sign it.
The analogy would be to throw the ball, but not look if he missed it or not. It's like practicing free throws by blindly throwing ball to basket's general direction and not knowing of outcome.
Well, at least it benefits Mexico a bit.
I appreciate that they know the limitations of this new technology as there are complex organs that cannot be re-created with bioprinting.
Don't develop on/for Apple devices. That's an easy fix.
Easy to say, but given the shoestring nature of the budget, perhaps more risk had to be taken.
It's not a magical license to eat as much as you want! It's still very easy to eat a surplus of calories during the day even if you're doing intermittent fasting.

I currently eat during an 8-9 hour window (12pm-9pm) but mostly because it's much easier for me to stay satiated over the whole day when eating like this and keep my total calories down.

Use something like MyFitnessPal to track your calories, set a calorie goal for each day (below your maintenance level) and you will be amazed how easy it is to lose weight (or gain weight if that's your goal).

Also, there's nothing wrong with skipping breakfast.
I have a Nexus 4 on Lollipop and I was experiencing this issue too, and saw the response. Last night I bought an iPhone.

I wish Windows Phone was just like... 15% better in terms of app support. Existence as an Android user just seems more and more self-hating as time goes on, and it's clear that Google, the OEMs and the carriers are just not about to cooperate to make the user experience any better. (I know, I know, there's the iPhone, but I have a pathological hatred of iTunes for Windows, so that's not really an option.)
They are obviously much better about this now but back when IE was the browser du jour there were tons of bugs that took ages for them to fix.

Is it declining? It would seem to be growing, but mainly amongst a certain demographic (who happen to have a lot of disposable income).

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, comics are no longer a mainstream entertainment medium compared to movies and videogames, so comic franchises are branching out into these areas.
>Your example is different because you're a layman and you're going to pay attention to someone who knows what they are talking about.

For (2), yes. The 'it must be presented to me in a way that does not make me lose face' part still applies.

For (3), not really. My 'patient' has just died - I cannot hide from the fact that there is probably something better that I could have done - and the other (lay) person has more experience of this situation than me. I would not say 'hey, I've known farming for 10 years, I'm not going to listen to you'.
A few notes based on my experiences:

1. Decide who you want to be in your new country, and be that person from absolute day one. Changes of setting are one of the most effective ways to end bad habits and start new ones. Want to wake up for sunrise and jog on the beach every day? Start the habit from day one.

2. 'Visa-Runs,' do work many places outside of N. America/Europe, but they must be done religiously. Miss one, and you could face massive penalties.

3. Go with a business to maintain, not a business idea to build, and be sure to have a strong support team in the U.S., and at least a handful of well-enough connected friends in the country you choose.

4. It's really tough to choose an International Health Insurance plan, but don't let the vast array of options deter you from doing so. Sure, health costs are low in many places, but a plan with MedEvac benefits included can really provide added peace of mind.

5. Make friends with motorcycle or taxi drivers, and pay them very well. These guys are the eyes and ears of the city you have made home, and being on their good side is very beneficial, and enjoyable.

6. Compensate for time differences with prompt and reliable communication. People learn not to expect responses from you right away, but if you can establish a system where clients and partners know there will be a response in their inbox by the time they wake up, the distance is less noticeable.

7. It's not easy, but can be an incredible lifestyle for those who go 'all in.'
Just because they're not the goverment, it doesn't mean their business values and practices are above reproach, criticism and complaints. Remember, corporations ARE ALLOWED to be criticized for their business practice choices and that's OK. Really.
I didn't vote your comment, but the issue tracker for AOSP is not Google customer support.

(Let's not bother discussing whether it should be or whether it makes sense to file customer support issues there in the face of lackluster support elsewhere, those are mostly opinion battles)
Granted, the conviction rate of the Justice Department is as high as 97%[1], so it's certainly likely. But if you have had any experience with litigation whatsoever you would know that there's nothing at all that's certain in a high profile trial such as this one.

With all the information that these social media sites collect from you with or without your consent, I'm sure there will come a time when Facebook will know you better than yourself.
There is also the problem where companies like Google refuse to acknowledge platforms apart from theirs. The iOS apps are usually faulty, and Google DMCAs any third party apps that talk to their services on the windows platform.
>> I think it's amazing achievement for the very first attempt.

I completely agree. I was just confused by the term "hard landing" and the effectiveness of the grid fins at low speed. It didn't make complete sense to me. As for my "stupid mistake" comment, I guess running out of fluid is also as simple as it gets if that's all that went wrong, and they are owning up to that.

That said, this is only a "first attempt" at putting it all together. I had fairly high confidence in them. Remember, they hovered and landed in Texas. Their first controlled re-entry failed, the second made it to the sea with onboad camera, the third was seen hovering at low speed from a plane. They had no reason to think this wouldn't work - which is not the same as having high confidence that it will work ;-) Putting it all together often leads to interesting things...

I'm still impressed and look forward to the next one.
I wonder if the prosecution screened out people who had already seen the movie.
The Lollipop release looks to be an EOL update with little to no love from Google. They haven't done a great QA job on it either since they broke core functionality (Dailer/voice calls, Wifi, location provider polling broken).
At the risk of being slightly off-topic, when looking at the phrase "for better maintainability and performance with GitHub Pages' CDN and future-proofing in case we wanted to switch to a different platform down the road", I do not see a compelling reason for the work expenditure. Unsurprisingly, in solving problems they didn't actually have, they managed to create an entirely new set of problems that they wouldn't have otherwise had. (And the problems they created look to have teeth to boot.) To me, the lesson here is not about SEO, it's about effective management.
(silly) Price aside, why is it only for iPhones? Surely the bigger market is Android devices... or both... I see a similar trend with docking station/speakers. I've yet to find a model that has a dock for micro usb. All of them are iPhone centric with an optional cable to the headphone jack of other phones.
Since you can’t get that family on the other side of the globe to do your repairs for you, it doesn’t compare.

Even if I have a well-paid job, I don’t want to buy a new WizzGig 5000 because a dinky part broke in my old Wizzy 650, but if there are no spare parts to be found, it may well be worth it, to me, to spend the time to make a replacement part. Someone else on the other side of the globe isn’t going to make one for me, so I have to choose between buying a new WizzGig 5000, making a replacement part myself, or doing without it.

The mice constrained to eating high-fat high-sugar food in a 9 hour window still gained weight, but the importance of this is that they gained less weight than those mice whose constraint was a 12 hour window, despite eating the same amount of calories.

So try eating the same amount of calories as you do now, but in a smaller time window and you might lose weight.
I think this is a good solution to API integration especially when you are using several providers. Having to manage it on a single portal with an integrated API would make it less cumbersome
I agree.

Take for example the new Ms. Marvel.

This display is actually electronic paper, so the display doesn't use power once it's set. Power is just used by the bluetooth and rest of the bits to monitor for changes in the display. If they could let you switch it on only when you want to change it, it could likely last a lot longer. The Pebble has a fake "e-paper" screen that's actually not electronic paper, it's a black and white LCD which constantly draws paper.
With how fast applications, platforms and software changes, one platform would never be enough. We know how we constantly need to update and upgrade.
True. Tell me about it.

Or worse, they break existing code (I've seen this happen with C++ on GCC)

That's not what he's saying. DNSSEC is a pain in the ass to operate on your own, and that's with guides like http://users.isc.org/~jreed/dnssec-guide/dnssec-guide.html (which is itself relatively new). BIND, at least, has a lot of bad defaults (e.g., NSEC), and the docs make poor recommendations about algorithms and key sizes (SHA-1? 1024-bit RSA keys? and what's this about RSA being depreciated after September 2015?)---even NIST's guidelines make stronger recommendations than that (http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-131A/sp800-13..., and that still has Dual EC DRBG on the books). Furthermore, ISC's guide downplays the importance of DNSSEC on private networks, which is probably the most important (in terms of opsec) and most difficult (in terms of complexity) place to implement it.

DNSSEC doesn't offer any privacy guarantees, either, so at this point DNSSEC doesn't really do much for me.
There is money, but there is zero value for ad targeting. "Core Google" is famously not about selling products to the end user, it is about establishing platforms to facilitate the ad business. Jet fighter HMD fall short in this (at least I hope so - a war decided by superior ad blocking would make for some very dark fiction)
Just because its an old version and hard to support doesnt mean they should stop supporting all together. What do they expect us to do with our phones? Throw them out?
Indeed this is an issue many of the keyboard libraries etc have. US keyboard layout is usually the default but it's pretty much a minority keyboard layout in the wild.

Then there's also the differences with windows and osx keyboard layouts.

If you can solve these issues with this library, then it would be really awesome!

This is the second thing I've seen you say that surprised me, given your background (the first being that you actually use DANE). TLS certificate revocation is, of course, theater --- and will be until widespread deployment of some kind of "must-staple" extension --- and Start's refusal to issue revocations had virtually no operational impact on the Internet or on privacy.
A perfect example of bad cases making bad law and bad law then being abused.

British truants and TV watchers alike now have the honour of being treated as terrorists. The fact that it's not some overreaching surveillance body, but a pedestrian mob like the BBC who is abusing this law so blatantly, shows how badly made this law really is. Obviously, it has no safeguards against this kind of misuse. The “lawmakers” who built this travesty should be sent back to primary school.

The OS X sandbox doesn't work that way. If you do "Open" and pick the root of your hard drive one time, the application gets and keeps access to the entire drive.

Disk scanning programs like DaisyDisk from the app store have to make you do this before they can get any information about disk usage.
The issue isn't fixing the flaw. The issue is testing.

Say I patch a security flaw in a webapp I run. If I screw up the phone starts ringing, and then I undo the patch I made and think some more about it. Meanwhile no one has any clue about the flaw.

If I have to deploy a release to fixed endpoints, I have to think about what could possibly go wrong on every device out there running my software. Plus, if I didn't fix the problem completely, the nature of distributing the patch has now told the rev-eng community exactly where the problem was.

Google once pushed out a version of their browser that stopped the entire browser from working when their sync server went offline (for anyone using sync in their browser). Microsoft does not want even 1% of their users to suddenly be unable to use their computers.
