It's really strange to me. I noticed yesterday that the Play app started leaking battery like crazy on my Nexus 5. 100%-0% within 10 hours of idle, 33% due to Google Play Store.
Today, 6 hours since the full charge I'm looking again at the battery screen: 38% battery left.
16% Google Play Store (Total CPU: 10s, GPS: 6h 20min 6s, GSM: 1min28s)
6% Screen
4% Android system
Chrome is most surprising, as it's not usually there. I did a single web search three hours ago though. The phone is idle all day otherwise. There's something rotten in the mobile software industry that's literally making our pockets warm for no good reason.

Be careful, it's more of an accelerated natural selection than a school.
The postulate of 42 is that talented people will acquire this fundamental knowledge no matter what, and that non-talented people will simply drop out of school. The big idea is to make sure that people with a gift for programming, no matter where they come from or what they did before, become highly productive and achievement-driven. The rest better pack up and go do something else.
That's also one of the reasons why the school is free. Dropping out and failing should be as quick and painless as possible for both the school and the student.
Thanks for this post. As a European I wasn't aware these rules actually existed. I thought they were merely "Hollywood" tropes to have explicit romantic interest in fiction while keeping a G rating.
A lot of it might have started that way —French kissing for instance has a complicated and not well documented history of misunderstood euphemisms– but they have influenced culture and expectations. Most people have lived through less relationships and break-ups in real life than they’ve seen in movies.
The idea in the OP is that if you're going to use the Amen Break, don't require "Hiphop-all", "Breakbeat-all" or, hell, if we're going by some of the Wikipedia examples, "Futurama-all".
Just import "AmenBrother-drums" or something and start from there, because obviously you're not going to use Zoidberg's leftmost tentacle in your cool new sound.
Putting the format and security aside, isn't the main issue that XMPP was so good that we tried to bite more than it could chew?
- Local Federation is great, but Global Federation doesn't benefit the big players
- Extensibility is great for domain-specific problems, but it leads to more fragmentation
- It tried to handle data streaming, but it's inherently suboptimal at it
I mean, it was a great protocol to explore the IM design space, but it was bound to be replaced once we clarified our needs (for the most part, multiple devices and media streaming).
As a side note, I often get showerthoughts about mixing IM and blockchain techs. I'm not sure where that would lead us.
It's my understanding that containerization's major benefit is not for development but for system maintenance. It allows sysadmins the luxury to stop spawning VMs left and right, since you can safely avoid all the overhead of keeping full VMs worth of hardware resources for applications that will ultimately only need them in short bursts.
By itself, containerization is great already, without involving the devs at all.
What Docker attempts to provide is a Framework that allows Devs and Sysadmins the use of the same tools. Ideally, if you can get your devs to use this framework, you will unlock the next step: you no longer deliver sources or packages in production, but rather entire Docker Images, ready to use and with clearly identified interfaces with other systems. It's a dream come true for IT sysadmins, who can focus on their own problematics, monitoring, logging, security, resource management, network architecture etc.
And that's what great about the Docker effort: it's the devs trying to be the best wingmen in the world with their sysadmin pals.
We used to use client certificates to declare and pay our taxes online in France, about a decade ago.
They dropped the technology because no one savvy enough used the same computer long enough to be able to benefit from the feature more than a couple times. And you were still required to enter codes to match your forms with the administration's data, so it felt a bit useless even at the time.
Spot on, this is the problem when you're dealing with the general public.
You cannot expect them to have a certificate on them at all times except their ID card, and even that gets lost. And if they were to use their national ID card, as some do, they would need a smartcard reader. So with most computers looking like they do, that's yet another thing they need available.
Banking here in Sweden uses a setup similar to either PKI or 2FA, but the thing you have is usually a code generating device or your mobile phone. This is imo as good as it gets, since most people today have mobile phones. The code generating device becomes something you only use from your home when paying bills so that's out of the question for normal website authentication.
Another thing that was weird about the article is that it states client TLS certs as a 2FA method right after it says there would be no need for passwords. I fail to see the second factor in client certs if it's not a password.
To be honest, as a French person I didn't see anything new in this cable. None of this was secret, it was pretty much the official stance, except stripped of the humanitarian aspects such as the ongoing civil war and repression or the Arab Spring.
It feels like Hillary's advisor was merely watching French TV and transcribing what journalists and politicians said publicly. The mention of Bernard Henri-Levy proves it. When you sum up a geopolitical situation in a few sentence, you don't waste any explaining BHL is a "semi-joke", unless your own knowledge is cursory.
With regards to the French population, you have to put it in context (April 2011, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Arab_Spring ). The Arab Spring was still going "smoothly" elsewhere, and we were all watching Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Syria and Algeria where things were handled "more or less peacefully" back then, at least to the French eye. Qadaffi's repression, on the other hand, was violent from the get-go.
It was a perfect storm (1) for Sarkozy, as on top of the things mentioned in the cable, he had to prove that he was serious with his Mediterranean Union, and more importantly he had to disprove the allegations that Qadaffi financed his election.
Wether it was the right thing to do or not, I personally have no idea, but it was pretty much a no-brainer at the time for France to distance itself from Qadaffi during his civil war, and fuel the opposition.
(1): unrelated, but maybe I should have said "homerun" in this case? My English fails me.
As a french person, i beg to differ. The only publicaly stated reasons for the intervention was humanitarian, to prevent kadafi from decimating his own population. You could read other opinions on various newspapers, but nothing really based on facts, only more or less valid assumptions depending on your political background.
That's true for the most part, I mean, the government obviously didn't mention some of the things that are in the cable unless they deliberately wanted to shoot themselves in the foot, but the news would systematically feature pieces about Qadaffi's awkward presence on Bastille Day along with the oil, gold and silver.
My point is that the cable was nothing more than a short compilation of common knowledge and hearsay, like you said, "more or less valid assumptions" that you could easily get by switching radio channels a few times during your tuesday morning commute.
It is, actually, an issue specific to driving businesses, and Uber is far more lenient than the law.
Uninsured and unlicensed drivers are normally very rare because many, many people in large cities such as Paris (where Taxis services thrive) very rarely drive. Companies such as Uber incentivize unlicensed and uninsured motorists to drive by making it profitable with seemingly far less control than existing businesses, hence the panic reaction and public debate on the matter.
Paris is relatively small but very dense, and can be maze-like. You can live in Paris and be completely lost a few hundred meters away from your place. Streets and directions are hard to follow and remember, and distances are skewed by traffic, one-way-streets, pedestrian zones, bus lanes and cycle lanes. Some streets open and close depending on the hour of the day/night or the season. It can seriously be a mess and you simply can't assume you're going to be a decent professional Parisian driver just because you live in Paris.
Lastly we all have a proper ID, so it's absolutely viable not to have a driver's license at all (provided you don't drive). Driving itself in Paris is generally a time-sink and a money sink. You only drive when you don't have a choice. For me, that's only when I'm on holiday away from the city.
Insurance is another matter, and yes it's illegal to drive an uninsured vehicle, and you also need a special license to drive for profit.
