so what? broadcasting on unauthorized bands is essentially painting a "come fine me" beacon on yourself. surely the FCC (or it's Japanese equivalent) can handle these sorts of revenue opportunities without Apple's help.

idk, I see it the other way around actually. if you kill someone in another country, that's still bad, but it's not clear why the US government should be the entity that holds you accountable for it. seems more appropriate to turn

overall, the bar for skills and medical is significantly higher for flying vs driving. the other comments do a good job addressing the specifics. it's worth keeping in mind that the sky is a big place. so is the ground when you're

yeah, classic example of thinking so hard about something that you miss the obvious explanation. I already have a decent coat, so I'm not going to wear the shitty one you gave me. I already have a decent scarf too, but if you give me a

I'm not sure this is as clever as you think. the other people in your stories almost certainly notice what you're doing. decent people tend to look for ways to help out their less fortunate companions. in this situation, it is tot

I kinda agree with steve jobs on both of those calls. if your "mobile app" is just a wrapper around a web page, I'd rather just have a bookmark shortcut on my homescreen. what's the value add? I don't think either o

it's an article about young women... it's not like plenty of ink isn't spilled elsewhere on how awful the app experience is as a straight man. it is interesting to note that, despite being the "clear winners", datin

apple and microsoft have historically provided ways of turning off features that their corporate customers don't want. I doubt this will be any different.

right, I didn't really mean to debate what companies are inside/outside the Big N club (or whatever you want to call them). I agree with your overall point that Big N salaries are not representative of what a typical tech worker

the readability issue here is in part that function arguments are purely positional in c++. a little over the top for this simple example, but you can always create local variables to document intention. auto initVal = 0; auto accumul

that seems about right, but I don't understand your point. it doesn't really "cost" a publicly traded company less to pay employees in stock vs cash. instead of paying $x + y shares, they could just sell their own shares

it's subjective to an extent, but requiring a "reverse spiral rule" (which itself has exceptions) to understand inline types is about as close to objectively bad as it gets. rust surely has it's issues, but reading types

the economic case is more compelling in this example. grand central is still largely the same structure that was built in 1910 at the peak of rail's dominance. penn station was demolished and rebuilt to sell air rights during a sharp d

there's not much to it really. you just build a bare-minimum PC and then put some decent hard drives in it. the drives are going to dominate the total cost of any reasonable NAS build. if you want something like 24GB plus an extra for

I'm not writing a public policy proposal here. if you want a rough estimate of "most", you can take the percentage of libertarian- and anarchist-aligned people and subtract that from 100%. yes, I'm being intentionally va

idk, this is all appealing in an abstract way, but I don't think it results in a world most people want to live in. we all draw the line in different places, but I think most would agree that some subset of user-submitted content is pu

steve certainly didn't hold back his contempt for the concept of a "producer", but I don't read him as disagreeing they have significant influence over the finished product. if anything, that's the core of his objec

not necessarily. rent and market value are related, obviously, but they don't have to increase at the same rate. in some markets, property values can increase much faster than rent. https://www.investopedia.com/terms&

I think that would be quite a bit bigger than a Camry? something like a hybrid Subaru Baja might be interesting, or maybe a little too interesting for the US market.

honestly any/all of those. I'd prefer something that stimulates private competition, but I'm not opposed to public options. I also don't begrudge an ISP profiting on an important service, provided they do a good job at i

not really. I have no idea what went on "under the hood", but it certainly wasn't anything I noticed. I do think NN is better than nothing, but I'm not sure it's exactly the right model either. iirc, the main risk c

agreed, especially in cases like this. final is primarily a way to prohibit overriding methods and extending classes, and it indicates to the reader that they should not be doing this. use it when it makes conceptual sense. that said, c++ i

I don't follow apple closely enough to know what on device inference means to the typical base spec mba buyer, but I'm going to guess they have no idea what that even means, let alone what they would do with it.

you would have the opportunity to argue whether you were fired for cause (which determines eligibility for unemployment insurance). in general that's hard to win if you just don't show up to your assigned work location, but there

walking to work easily beats walking to the 7 and then to work, even if it's a short ride. imo NYC as a whole would greatly benefit from spreading office locations more evenly across the boroughs. if nothing else, it would help smooth

the current regime in Iran has not thought much of the "special" status of embassies historically. I tend to agree the strikes on embassies/consulates is not a great precedent, but it's hard to think of a less sympatheti

I do have to ask: are you actually claiming the total cost of the iranian attack was $1mm, or just posing a hypothetical? I can't find cost estimates for most of iran's missile portfolio, but this seems pretty low. the fixed wing
