I can still dodge those by disabling Location Services and using something else than Google app-wise. It is not clear how opt-out this will be. Even if it can be disabled today it might become pushed harder as time goes.

I can't be the only one getting a chill down my spine when I read this. Google, a company "committed to reach and engage the right users safely and cost-effectively around the world", doing deep analysis of my every input and

Another "unused code bug" would be when a locally scoped variable which is not supposed to be there shadows the intended global variable. It's just a matter of global scoping and precedence. But yeah, sharing notation between

While I have already encountered scenarios where the "Extracting and spreading parameter lists with tuples" would have been helpful, this feels more like a duct-tape hack instead of properly tackling overloads. I can see arguments

Are you talking about Cardano, Basic Attention Token, Stellar Lumens, Zcash and 0x mentioned in the article? These are not supposedly assets. These were added prior to this announcement and don't really have any relationship to this. A

I actually started C programming on Game Boy back in the days, but for me the Game Boy Advance really hit the sweet spot. ARM (nicer instruction set) and all of the close-to-the-metal characteristics you name above. If you want to write a c

As someone who enjoyed GEB, I can see where Getty is coming from when I think of how movies with interesting ideas or topics can put me off with their theatrical acting and trite writing. After that it's just a matter of tolerance leve

I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember being around 12 and doing what I could do score free points. Felt incredible accomplishment when I managed to get "free" battery adapters and other trinkets. I also agree th

This! Another curious thing I have noted: While living in Japan I was binging on houjicha[0] (which has significantly less caffeine due to the roasting process) on late evenings so I would still be able to sleep. After several strong pots (

I haven't really taken it as a supplement/extract by itself, but drinking lots of strong green tea gives me distinct but different effect from coffee/energy drinks/caffeine pills. It mostly seems to negate the negative

High- and medium grade green tea (especially the Japanese varieties) have significant amounts of L-theanine, which has its own effects and synergies with caffeine. For me, the same amount of caffeine will have me anxious and give me tunnel-

Apart from caffeine, yerba mate also contains the stimulants theobromine and theophylline, which makes the effects qualitatively different from only ingesting caffeine. I found yerba mate works very well as a pre-workout drink. I think yer

I recently moved to Paris and I was surprised to see that these scooters are super trendy now. The most common riders seem to be middle-aged and older posh women who zoom to and from the metro with their noses in the air. The dorks are most

I don't see how firing being harder is an issue. In France it's standard with the first several months being a probationary period where you can let the person go on the day, and only after that does it transform into a CDI. This

Just sharing another experience: I am a technical manager at a small-size big data company. We opened a new office in Paris three months ago and our largest struggle by far is recruiting talent. Despite what other comments here are writing,

It's funny how they make a clear distinction based on capitalization but fail to capitalize Arch Linux.

A standard for micropayment for content needs to evolve. Our relationships to publishers have changed substantially. I would be willing to pay per read from sources like The Guardian, New York Times, The Economist, etc, but I am not frequen

I was also thinking exactly this during my couple of years in Japan - that having a huge amount of "bullshit jobs" is one way of keeping unemployment low in an increasingly automated economy where growth is stagnating. In an econo

The only explanation model I have for this round is money laundering. Can someone with more insight enlighten me on what would make someone seriously invest in this with more than pocket change?

I recognize this annoyance you have and would say just that everything else that comes up during the retreat (annoying person next to you coughing all the time etc) is part of the exercise. Observe and accept your reaction and keep on pract

The teacher in my center even encouraged meditating while walking when I asked. I saw other students doing the same and no one made anything out of it. Same in Japan, where I also sat. Sounds like an unfortunate interpretation at the partic

This is by far the best I have read on Vipassana so far. Great approach and scope and good breakdown. I went to four-five retreats but have kind of fallen out of practice in recent years. I will begin to send this when I know people who are
