They do talk about that market to a certain extent in the article, which I was glad to see.

I think on limited apps, it's worth saying that beyond a relatively small number of apps like Facebook or WhatsApp, someone moving from a feature phone won't necessarily have any interest in existing apps on other systems. In general they won't want Google Maps or Waze or Telenav Scout (and won't ask for those while buying the phone), they want to type 'directions' or 'weather' and have something useful come up.

That lowers the barrier to entry, although of course there is still the basic requirement that enough useful apps are there, which imo doesn't yet currently apply on FxOS.
I don't understand why we hide nudity from kids.

Because we are afraid of harming them, because we are conditioned to be afraid of ourselves. !Kung Bushmen often lived in hand-made temporary huts. Therefore it was basically normal for couples to make love in front of the kids. !Kung Bushmen brides were also once prized by neighboring agricultural people, as they were thought to be particularly uninhibited and enthusiastic sexually.

The US is still very much a puritan culture in some weirdly sublimed ways.
You seem to be operating on some strange principles and are being inconsistent with your assertions. When humans kill it's abhorrent but when cats do it it's okay because it's 'exercise'? Ants fight pitched wars over territory with other ants. These battles are immensely brutal.

The ecosystem of your backyard puts our battlegrounds to shame. You don't see the warfare, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. Plants mainly fight using chemical poisons they leach into the soil and through fungal networks. What you think of as synergy is actually really awful if you were to translate what they're doing to human terms.

> Cats for instance have very sophisticated behavior in regards to killing their own kind.

It's evolved behavior on the part of felines. Other animals are perfectly fine killing each other. In fact, males of many species will specifically seek out infants of their species that they haven't fathered and kill them so as to reduce rivals.
Maybe Mozilla just needs to launch their own Android AOSP implementation and provide developers with a way to build fully native Android apps with JavaScript.

The one big feature (imo) missing from postgres is query plan locking. I too -- although in our case, somehow nightly vacuuming got turned off -- have seen single digit millisecond queries suddenly get mangled by the planner and turn into multi-second queries.
I have a Fire Phone with the Amazon maps app. I find it extremely disappointing after coming from Google Maps. No bike routes and quite clumsy UI. And, unfortunately, even though I've sideloaded the Play Store and installed Google Maps, the text is mangled beyond legibility, so I get lost a lot more often now.

Skepticism is required for your comment. There are scammers, sure. There are also incompetent (or just lazy or ignorant) doctors. Bad diagnoses are made. Things happen.

But the fact remains that the disease, a very complicated disease with no direct simple cause and no direct simple cure (let alone treatment), exists. A large part of the problem is there is little money in it, from the medical industry's perspective. Not a large enough "market" of sufferers. Not a large enough business opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry. Not a large blip on the radar of the health insurance industry who don't give a damn. Not a large enough concern for the NIH and other government agencies. And so the money doesn't flow. And that means a lot of research doesn't get done. And CFS/ME stays on the "fringe", and a lot of mainstream doctors in Kaiser and other big systems don't know how to or don't want to deal with CFS/ME, because it doesn't show up on their checklists, it's too nuanced for them to bother with, and the patients are sent "out of network" (read: they're on their own).

And so it goes.

Finally, I would beg to differ regarding no viral or bacteriological signatures for CFS/ME. More than a decade and a half of direct experience with a loved one with CFS/ME suggests that there is, based on evidence shown of viral markers revealed in exotic, hard-to-get blood tests (read; insanely expensive, not-covered-by-insurance) that most labs won't even do.
From link [1] above it looks like Sun went after NetApp, after NetApp poked around, it turned out that Sun was the one in violation. I remembered that was the case but I was thinking that oracle had already bought them at that point

FTA:

>Sun approached NetApp about 18 months ago with claims the storage maker was violating its patents and seeking a licensing agreement, NetApp Chief Executive Dan Warmenhoven said in a statement.

>Several months into those discussions and following a review of the matter, NetApp made a discovery of its own, Warmenhoven said, concluding NetApp did not infringe the patents but that Sun infringed on NetApp's.
Yeah, I find this article confusing precisely because of its focus on what seems to be modern and not post-modern art. Post-modernism definitely, as far as I (as a layman, tbh) understand it, rejects a kind of hierarchy and structure, but it's not the art itself that it insists has no structure but the artist-viewer relationship. Modern art insists that the artist is telling and the viewer is receiving, thus why an apparent lack of structure can still be "about something", but post-modernism insists that the audience is an active participant in the art.

And that's almost exactly the opposite of being 'anti-mind' to me. It gives the audience a kind of credit that a lot of other theories of art don't.

The point of the Trolley 'problem' (dilemma) as I think of it is to distinguish the moral difference between actively killing someone and letting someone get killed.
From a utilitarian standpoint, all you look at are the possible actions and the possible results.
From a moral standpoint, actively killing someone is much worse than letting someone get killed.

--------

> I would shoot only if shot upon, not because its moral, but because I'd feel like a coward idiot to do otherwise.

You're saying social expectations would cause you to shoot someone else?

Ignoring social expectations, your total opposition to kill is the reason I asked your response to the dilemma. It's not you who're being shot at, but your friends, family, and people and things you love. Would you be willing to let everything and everyone you love perish?

It's not just the lack of apps (but any Windows Phone user will tell you that it's a huge drag) but that the ROI of offering an Android app outside of Google Play isn't there.

If it weren't just Amazon's AOSP, but also (for instance) if Microsoft and Firefox also offered their own, and combined they took a respectable share of the Android install base AND their respective app stores could all be targeted by Android devs with a single deployment then we would have something.

I also think that code will run fine. The comment in LibreOffice's source and this blog post are incorrect.

I also wonder how far PVS-Studio goes in deciding that 'expression is always true' in this fragment:

if( (pSymDef->GetType() != SbxEMPTY) ||
(pSymDef->GetType() != SbxNULL) )

Is ::GetType() marked as pure in the LibreOffice source code, does PVS-Studio check the source code of its implementation(s), does PVS-Studio have heuristics for function names that likely are pure, or does it just assume any function is pure?
> We'd have to see a case-by-case basis of the speed limit in a given location to give an appropriate speed limit for an area.

Doesn't matter. Just have a speed limit and make people obey it, and then let the traffic engineers run simulations and adjust those limits to maximize flow and minimize accident rates. But when people have a habitual disregard of speed limits[0], determining the optimal value of those limits is nigh impossible.

[0] - I don't know what's the driving culture in the US, but in Poland - where I live - most drivers show total disregard for speed limits and driving rules. They think they're the smartest, and that no accident can happen to them.

I don't know what slumber party means but it seems completely crazy to have a bunch of kids together and play video games, eat pizza, watch horror movies. Do you want spoiled fat bored and boring kids? Because that's how you get that.

I don't mean to mean that my 5yo boy and I never eat pizza or play video games or watch anime. But when we do it's because we are on our own, a Sunday evening, after having gotten outside with friends, and I'm too tired to play Lego.

Also, alien is really a horror movie, playing hard with the nerves of the audience. Way too hard for 11yo kids if you ask me.
Isn't it common knowledge nowadays that simple luck plays a really big part of of succeeding as a start-up?

Around where I live there is a road where the limit changes from 70 km/h to 50 km/h due to a pedestrian crossing. They also placed a speed camera just after the crossing. When driving there I always find my self checking and double checking my vehicle speed and not paying full attention to the crossing. But in this specific case I guess that the "forced" speed reduction due to the camera is a bigger benefit (fewer accidents and less serious if they do happen) than the distraction caused by it.
Yes yes yes! Absolutely breathtaking. One of the best intros to a sci fi movie. And that is with 80's special effects!

Looking back at it, special effects, the mood, is still so distinctive and well done. And that was probably the pinnacle of non-digital special effects. And we'll probably never get back to it but even after so much investment and so much advancement in computer technology, digital effects are still not quite there (thinking of modern Star Wars, Avatar...). At some point they'll be outmatched but we are still not there.

Well what if the people enforcing this particular law do so only because they are getting some percentage of the ticket fee?

It could lead to, for instance, inappropriately low speed limits and an inordinate amount of police work on traffic violations instead of things that are more dangerous but make less money.

I think even MSVC2008 should accept free(NULL) without crashing.

My guess is that this was a case of tweaking the source code until the buggy compiler accepted it (it's within a "#ifdef _MSC_VER" block, so it's a MSVC-only workaround). He probably originally wrote the function containing something like std::abort(), but the compiler rejected it. So he changed it to a dummy (do-nothing) call to free(), and missed updating the comment he had written in the previous attempt.

I agree that the messaging displayed for on-hold questions can seem like you're being ganged-up on. In reality, the way that questions get put on-hold (and eventually closed) is this: there's a review queue that users with enough reputation can go to, where they will be presented with a question that has been flagged as being "off-topic" (or having some other problem). The reviewer can either agree, disagree or skip the question. There's no discussion with other moderators around the matter, and you don't even know who the other reviewers are until you cast your vote. So the "put on-hold by John Doe, Jane Doe, etc." message that ends up on your question is not intended as a rebuke; instead it's meant to force the reviewers to act responsibly, since they won't have the shield of anonymity. This is in addition to many other checks that StackOverflow puts in place to try and prevent reviewer abuse. Point being, try not to take it personally when your question is put on hold or closed; nobody's trying to tell you off (they would do that in the comments if anywhere).

I'm not sure that ticket is crazy. Having fixed price tickets disproportionally punishes the poor. Having them based on income seems much more fair. $500 may be worth more to someone who can barely afford gas for their car to get to their minimum wage job than $100,000 is to a guy who can't decide which yacht to buy.

Ask or drop by at lunch and see what people are wearing. I went to an interview about a two years ago in an academic setting in the finance department and one of the interviewers was the president of the finance department. I wore a suit and tie to the interview and the team walked in with polos and khakis. I quickly slipped my jacket off, so it was not too uncomfortable. But its better to know, it one less thing to NOT worry about.
To counter your anecdote, my parents never really censored what I viewed as a kid either. Aliens was (and is) one of my favourites as a kid.

While I agree with the reply on the whole, many of its examples are pop art, which is a kind of shared space between modernism and postmodernism as far as art is concerned but not quite postmodernism, which explicitly rejects modernism. _But_ postmodernism originated in architecture and is more broadly a kind of 'end of history' movement, expressed not through the singular view and notion of purity of classicism, nor the idealist/utopian/revolutionary views of modernism - but through an embrace and often shocking (e.g. to notions of taste) juxtaposition of incongruent sources (e.g. classical motifs mixed with tiki references).

Im not an iOS programmer, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you could interop swift code with obj-c. In that case, write new functionality in swift and fix the obj-c with the intention to convert it to swift later down the track. A rewrite would be overkill, just fix and update where appropriate.

ZFS has supported autodetecting 4k drives since day one, with the caveat that certain drives that were programmed to try to fool OSes that only supported 512 byte sectors would occasionally fool ZFS as well [1]. Additionally, ZFS can be set as case-insensitive, to match HFS+ behavior. Finally, I'd argue that ZFS is useful even to the one-drive user. The snapshot feature would make Time Machine backups even more transparent, compression would make things a bit smaller, and filesystem sending/receiving would make backing up to other devices a lot simpler. Modern filesystems just make sense, even for the regular user.

A cat's jaw is delicate. The prey a cat normally choses has beaks or teeth or claws that can damage that jaw, causing infection. That could easily kill a cat. One possible reason that a cat "plays" with the prey is to minimise the risk of an injury near the jaw by wearing out the prey to the point that a killing bite can be given.
