FYI, MailChimp is based in Atlanta, GA. Maybe you mean to use "Silicon Valley" as a catch-all for tech, but I don't think it's fair to associate SV with anti-ICO attitudes in this way. The anti-ICO sentiment is coming from everywhere, and I think it's pretty legitimate.

You don’t think Google, Facebook, Amazon are setting the stage for what is acceptable? Ok, replace with Big Tech if you want.

And yea, I get it, you can’t possibly understand something that doesn’t directly effect you - yet. When something you consider good is censored maybe you’ll get the idea of acceptible precedent? “First they came for <x>” and all.

FWIW, I hate ICO and consider crypto commodities a waste in general; but I know “nudging” when I see it.

I bought a fair amount of crypto to flip in the short-term, but on the other hand I don't believe the technology has proven itself to be anything more than a fad. I'd like to see a lot more regulations put on it.

You would use a PIN that is generated at the time of freezing the account. However, this doesn't prevent a future attack from obtaining the PINs.

And if I forget my pin?

An alternative? You mean user-created passwords?

Even a cubic foot of water would be well under 100lbs. I doubt a cubic foot of mussels + water to fill the rest could weigh a ton.

It may be possible for (especially stationary structures) to accumulate enormous columns of biofouling materials, but for such a layer to reach > 20 feet thick (possibly closer to 50 feet without counting the interstitial water) sounds unreasonable. But I'm not knowledgable in this area.

My Chinese friends tell me it's no longer mandatory for students to take English classes, but it'll likely never be banned outright.

I've been using the free unlimited roaming from T-Mobile on several trips to Japan, Argentina, France, and Italy. Often, the speeds are actually faster than EDGE, unless the network is busy. I have had no issues using Google/Apple Maps or booking hotels, etc. through this connection. The only thing I miss is having Hotspot capabilities, even at the reduced speeds.

EDGE is consistently, unbearably slow for me. If the phone has negotatiated EDGE, you should be getting EDGE speeds, which has a maximum bandwidth of 236 Kbit/s (theoretically up to 473.6 Kbit/s according to Wikipedia). That's not fast. I occasionally get reduced to EDGE on the Berlin subway, and I barely get Hacker News up.

(LTE has a maxmimum of about 450 Mbit/s, but in practice it's closer to 15-50 Mbit/s down, maybe half that up.)

Maybe someone who knows mobile technology could chime in.

In my experience, it's usually LTE but speed capped.

They have a new unlimited data plan which has replaced all of their other plans. This model is now being adopted by the other carriers.

I just went and investigated their site to find this new plan.

I tried to select it and got this message:

>>We’re seeing a huge interest in our recent offers, which is impacting site performance. Please try again later, or call Care on 611 from your T-Mobile phone. Thank you!!

What a bunch of bullshit.

edit: Please reply and explain your downvotes. Do you think a huge company like t mobile should have a shitty website that can't handle some load once and a while?

Its indeed bad craftsmanship- if i cant service a customer, i at least should allow him to enlist his interest, by leaving behind his email. That way, once i have the performance, i can callback.

It sounds like they're referring to the Wii U; they're suggesting (correctly, arguably) that the Wii U is essentially dead now, and that no one will buy the Wii U just for Zelda. If anything, people will instead buy the Switch, hence their point about Zelda "saving the Switch" (although from what, I'm not sure, since it does have over a hundred games confirmed).

>> no one will buy the Wii U just for Zelda.

If people are willing to buy a Switch just for Zelda, I'm sure people who don't have enough money for a Switch would be willing to buy a used or refurb Wii U on the cheap to be able to play Zelda.

New console release is a great opportunity to pick up the old one plus a ton of games on the über-cheap. I've been waiting for the Switch release for that reason, and now I get to play Zelda now instead of when the Switch 2 comes out. ;)

No money is needed to get the devices to communicate, because the devices are no longer expected to communicate. iOS has been fully independent of macOS (to end-users) for half its life.

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. Millions of iPhone users have been migrating their phones from 4, to 4s, to 5 or 5s up to the iPhone 7. They have all their photos since 2010 stored in there and have inherited all the crap from every single unexpected reboot, failure and app residues, building up gb's of 'other files' as shown in iTunes. Most of iPhone users have a 5Gb iCloud account where not even a whatsapp backup fits, and they still need a computer to migrate all the data. Tell me again how are you going to migrate a 64 or 128 gb of data from one phone to another without using USB. That, and the fact that you're still unable to put music inside an iPhone if you don't a) buy it from the app store or b) using iTunes

you can connect to itunes over wifi just fine, you can do everything you can do with USB except wirelessly

ahh haha come on. I mean, I never transfer data between iPhone and computer any more, but iTunes WiFi Sync just does not work nearly as reliably as it should.

It fails so frequently that it's just not able to be used.

Don't you first have to make a wired connection to enable this?

Last time I checked it isn't possible to deploy from Xcode to an iPhone wirelessly

At some point it was but they scratched it.

Also, they talk fine over WiFi, which is built into both. There's some Bluetooth stuff too, but I never figured that out.

But it's very important not to allow your iPhone to talk to your Mac because that means iTunes will run and make everything worse.

Me: I need to charge my phone, I'll just plug it into this handy USB port on my Mac...

iTunes: Hello!

I'm a long-time Prompt user, and I just purchased Blink on the App Store after seeing that mapping Caps Lock to CTRL is supported. It does seem to work, although not really as consistently as I'd like it to. I'm using an iPad Air 2 and the Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard, for reference.

When I try to use, say, CTRL+V in Vim to do a block selection, it will assume I pressed V by itself unless I hold Caps Lock for about half a second before pressing V. Furthermore, it will toggle the Caps Lock light on my keyboard (which I understand can't be fixed), which is a problem because if I exit Blink, the Caps Lock key is now reversed if I exited Blink while the Caps Lock key was still active.

Perhaps there's a way to track if Caps Lock had been pressed an even or odd number of times, and send some signal back to the OS to correct this behavior?

I'm not sure what needs to be fixed in order to get the Caps Lock functionality to work without a delay.

We are aware of the "track Caps Lock" problem. iOS actually has an option to disable caps on the accessibility but still doesn't work with external keyboards. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for the heads up about the delay. I have only see that problem once with the iPad when I had another combination, do you have any other combination like caps as ESC? I definitely haven't seen that with other keys, and I'm really picky about my Cmd as Ctrl on Emacs :D

I think I've figured out why I'm seeing a delay. It must be related to the Caps Lock delay that some keyboards have, wherein the keyboard will prevent Caps Lock from engaging (or even sending any signal at all to an app, apparently) unless the key has been engaged for more than just a tap.

It looks like the only way to fix this would be to buy a keyboard without this feature.
