My understanding is that it is not only cost that is problematic, but rather time. If you need to harvest, then you need to harvest now, not in 2 weeks. Whereas the dealer repair shops are not always available in those time frames. Especial

Not really. The real reason is that Oracle has done a reasonably good job of continuing the development of the Open Source project. You can certainly argue about what things they should have focused on (the MariaDB community has done that,

It does not really matter whether those ~40% would agree. It only matter what portion of those would vote for someone who does. As a floor for that number I would submit that the Freedom Caucus has 32 of the 198 Republican seats in the hous

Restrictive housing is literally people trying to keep things the same. That seems like a definition of "conservative" if I have ever seen one. You can argue that "Conservatives" (note the capital letter, denoting that h

I would argue that this is not really a "liberal" thing. Up until the 1970's the courts (including the Supreme Court) regularly found that the right to bear arms was in the context of establishing a militia, and not really a

You do not have to have a foreign key defined to do a join across tables. Foreign keys just enforce that all the values in the given column of a table are present in another given column on a specified table (usually a second table). They p

Yes, but it is being shipped in volume containers. That is both more efficient all around, and much easier for the customs inspectors to find and divert counterfeits than in waves of individually packaged items.

There is an important distinction in hydrogen fires from jet fuel ones: the moment it is released hydrogen escapes upwards, taking any fire with it. Jet fuel on the other hand tends to pool downward, while releasing its vapor (the part that

It is not leftover, it applies to applications as well as music and videos. Apps can price themselves per region, or even not be available outside of set regions. There can be multiple reasons for this including third party content licensin

I agree that this would not enable people to suddenly be able to afford medical services that they otherwise would not, but I do see some advantages to the system in general: 1. For people without insurance it would possibly give them a lit

A complicating factor not addressed in that graph is the aging of the U.S. population. I don't have great numbers immediately available, but it looks like over that same period of 10 years the population over 65 has grown from about 40

I am generally in favor of being able to repair things, but this is complicated and I have yet to see a good discussion (let alone legislative proposal) that takes into account all of the nuance I see as necessary: 1. There has definitely b

Apple has been dinged repeatedly when people use bad third-party chargers that destabilize the batteries. Why do you think it would be any different for the batteries.

No effect at all. Apple is unlikely to make this possible, and given the sandboxing of Apps on iOS a meaningful version of this for local resources outside of the App are prohibited.

I worked for Apple about 5 years ago, and there almost everyone I interacted with carried an Apple-owned iPhone that was specially setup for running internal in-development software. This was Apple's way of getting those builds tested

In this sort of login authorization is considered the severs responsibility, and in most cases that use it it amounts to: you get access to you stuff. This only handles authentication. If you need managed authorization, you are going to hav

The do mention that they allow users to disable individual aliases at any time. Which would indicate that they do at least mark that for the user.

This statement is misleading. Apple kept up with the 2.x versions, the same as almost every linux distro. Only recently have the linux distros started to move on to Python 3.x. And most of them still include Python 2.x (specifically 2.7) as

At least for Python the standard .pkg's available from python.org have always been very useful for me. Especially since you can install as many versions as you want simultaneously since they install in separate folders. As a tester who

My approach has been to write a layer into our testing system that retries `find_element_by_*` for n seconds on failure (5 works for most of our tests) before reporting problems. I mean to eventually generalize and open-source them (I will

My one objection to this is the `imp` module. As far as I can tell it is the only way (short of `sys.path` modification) to specifically load a module found at a specific path. For testing systems I use this quite extensively... Looks like

The White House may have signaled that, but so far when presented with actual compromises the President has always aggressively rejected them. This is one of the areas that people use to show that the White House staff and the President are

No, much of the codebase is shared, and where the codebase is not shared the teams usually are. There are undoutably exceptions to this, and this may fall into one of those, but your blanket statement is just not how Apple operates internal

Another common reason is that on distributed databases you often don't want your data stored in the same chunk/shard as the last one. You want to spread out your writes. This of course is not good design if your access patterns in
