Very short span of time? He had minutes of saying things like "you disobey me again and there is a strong possibility you end up dead" "shut up" and "you do that again we're shooting you". And your excuse is that they're too dumb to not shoot?

>Being poor sucks. Don't be poor. If you find yourself being poor, stop as fast as you can.

Damn, if someone had just told the poor people this sooner, they wouldn't be poor! /s

Lightning cables that aren't MFi certified are still widely used. See their presence is gas stations and other stores nationwide. Lots of "MFi certified" cables online are likely fake. Who knows?

USB Type-C can deliver enough power to seriously damage your $1000 MacBook if the cable/adapter is designed poorly. There is a certification process, but most products on the market are still below-par. Below I will link a list. Guess what, those "bad" products are still bought en masse.

This week, I discovered that pretty much all the water filters that are popular for the type I'm looking for aren't even certified to filter out harmful materials. NSF 53 certification exists, but it looks like the market didn't do any research into it and trusted NSF 42, which was touted but is a much less strict standard, filtering out odor and taste (important in its own way). Theoretically, these filters could be passing on lead and asbestos.

Your solution _might_ work for a _part_ of the market, but it is almost guaranteed that there will still exist a significant (if not majority) part of the market, that doesn't care about certification/prefers the cheaper product.

Could you guys push an update to the App Store please? The current version is 3 years behind. I also thought the project was unmaintained until just now.

This comment, and the one by bittrex18737, share a lot of similarities..

Both are new accounts with only 1 comment each, both were posted roughly the same time (I can't see the timestamp), both have 5 digits in their usernames, both usernames appear to be throwaways, both mention 2300 USCF, both mention being inactive, and both start with the same terse "Yes." and say roughly the same sentence in roughly the same structure (okay, this is kind of a stretch).

Bots? A chess coach looking to stir up more business? Or maybe it's getting late and I should sleep.

Don't extrapolate the safety of the neighborhoods you lived in to the safety of all neighborhoods. There are some in my city that I don't feel safe walking alone in as an adult.

I mean, maybe that's true, but does that negate what I said?

Also, if you could link more examples, I'd love to see them. I'm amused by the fast talking, but City Cleveland high school or whatever dominates the first few results on YouTube and jumping around, I see only a mild form of it.

EDIT: actually, I just saw that 2 minutes ago someone posted another example! :)

They may have had a good argument, but articulating it well? They're just shooting out words in a flurry in order to "win" at debate; it's incredibly hard to comprehend without a transcript. And like the original article stated, this is pretty common. I remember my friend doing the same thing when he was in debate.

>app cut fairly high

Same as Google's, so it seems standard.

>non-negotiable at 30%

Reduces for certain types of apps, given specific conditions, but yes for 99.99% it's non-negotiable. Still, it's their platform.

>arbitrary at best

I'd wager most rejections follow very clear rules. There are some head scratchers, but those aren't the norm, so "at best" is wrong.

>Who'd you think the EU would investigate for monopolistic practices?

Gotta have a monopoly in order to be investigated for it.

Operational excellence sounds like Apple's forte to me.

Recently? Are those faulty Seagate drives still being sold in 2017?

EDIT: Ah, I see that you meant you're turned off by 3tb Seagates in general. You could just look at the model number.

It seems like it means what he thinks it means.. What do you think he meant and what do you think the poem means?

In America, if you asked when something is being restocked, no one is going to say "in a second" or even "in a bit" when they really mean in 5 hours.

You get 10 days before your app stops working and you have to do it again. It's a real pain in the butt.

Google ended up losing the entire Chinese market to Baidu, who are going to end up being a global competitor, and the general population didn't even care that Google left. Apple learned from this that you could be a big deal in the West, but a nobody in the East.

Those VPN apps install a root cert don't they? That's a huge security hazard and likely why Apple is putting their foot down on it.

Is your company actually selecting 20 kids at random, or selecting 20 from the best of the ones applying?

Are you also comparing this over a long timeframe? 112 in the 70's -> 100 now means less than 1 point every 3 years. You probably can't notice a difference that small year over year.

I never understand when OSS projects give themselves names that will never go mainstream. If the goal is semi-popularity at least, then "Devuan" will not work.

If offering potentially unlimited compensation would increase profits for airlines, then they would do it regardless of regulation of minimums wouldn't they? I make that assumption because Delta seems to be testing that theory right now. So I still don't see how regulations are impeding anything; doesn't seem to be stopping Delta whatsoever.

Right.. but far back up, the poster (not the one I replied to, which is just agreeing) stated that regulations got us into the mess by allowing a cap of ~$1300. But regulations don't stop the airlines from offering higher, and neither does the non-existence of regulations stop airlines from independently capping at ~$1300.

So back to the point, how is it correct that regulations got us into this mess of ~$1300 capping?

1. Did you mean United and not Delta? 2. If what you said is true, then how is it that Delta is able to make their new maximum compensation $9,950, as stated in the second sentence of this article?

They could be as ignorant, but the fact that they haven't forced their employee to disclose anything appears to the judge that they're trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Google has logs. Google made assertions with the logs backing them up. Uber (to my knowledge) has not denied the assertions. The employee in question (to my knowledge) has not denied the assertions.

It's a civil case. That's probably enough.

I just bought a Surface 3 recently. The kickstand is nice, the weight is tolerable, and the 3:2 aspect ratio is really why I bought it. Everything else about it sucks, from a tablet user perspective.

Every once in a while when you reboot, you'll have to wait for Windows to install its updates. Sleep/hibernate are more finicky than an iPad, which sips so little power in idle that it never has to hibernate. Desktop mode is absolutely terrible to use with fingers. Tablet mode has missing functionality so you'll have to switch to desktop mode periodically. Battery life is worse, even though Windows makes use of hibernate. There's bugs that plague the Surface line that don't get addressed for a long time. I had to manually disable wake from sleep using keyboard/mouse on my SP1 otherwise it would stay in a powered mode and never properly hibernate. A normal user can't do that.

Lack of apps is a real thing. There's no official YouTube app. You can use the desktop site, but every time you try to pull up the controls, the player interprets it as a touch and plays/pauses the video. On the Netflix app, if you try to drag the slider, there's no feedback from the slider so you can't see if you've actually dragged it or not until you let go. Makes for some very imprecise scrubbing.

I could go on and on, but an iPad is simply better for media consumption if you don't need a specific Windows tool.

Making paternity leave widely accepted would help fix one of these issues. More people need to talk about this.

Real or not, no one's shocked because we just had a major eye-opener (Fowler) so recently.

> I dare bet more than half of those active devices won't be running at least iOS8.

Looks like ~94% of users are on iOS 9 or iOS 10.

A lot of words to say very little.

>What you are essentially saying is that every prediction that doesn't claim certainty is always correct.

This seems to be the crux of it. No, what I am saying is that when you want to laugh at the polls/pollsters, you should be arguing how their methodology was wrong and what they could have done to find the true proportion +/- some standard error with however much confidence level. Simply laughing at pollsters when the minority wins is not good enough. 20% chance of winning and then actually winning does not seem all too unlikely to any reasonable person.

I'm not sure I get this logic. If I told someone they had a 16.6% chance of rolling a die and getting a 6, and then they proceed to roll the die and get a 6, would you laugh and tell me that I was wrong?

AMP hijacks scrolling and changes it. They've gotten better, but it's still annoying when I notice.
