I suspect the problem is that the kettle is RFC 2324 compliant, and was returning a 418 error.

No worries -- I hear they're working on a firmware update to make the kettle RFC 7168 compliant, which should make integration much easier.

The relevant question is "what would happen to me if I had done the same thing?"

Yes, let us examine this question. If I released the name of an undercover CIA agent I would, without a doubt, have gone to solitary confinement for the rest of my life.

All of I have to say to that is "Charging is not supported with this accessory."

You can't charge with third party chargers in iOS because the OS itself blocks them.

Well, if that is true, maybe that is a Good Thing. Seriously. Li-ion batteries are MUCH more persnickety about charging than your father's Nickle-based ones. So, perhaps maybe, just maybe, Apple didn't want to expose their customer-base to that danger. But what do I know? I'm just an embedded systems designer with about 4 decades of paid hardware & software design/development experience...

Oh, and BTW, the car charger that gets my iPhone 6 Plus so hot is a THIRD-PARTY charger. This demonstrates two things: iOS DEMONSTRABLY does NOT "block" at least SOME Third-Party chargers; and Third Party Chargers generally SUCK.

I think people don't understand exactly what kids do online (for school).

It's not just about them being able to go to Wikipedia to look up what happened in the war of the golden stool.

Teachers give assignments via internet portals. Students turn in assignments via internet portals. Without internet, it's not that you can't look up on a map where the city of Mörön is. It's that you can't turn your assignments in. You can't see what your assignments are. Thus bad grades.

Or, more likely, they do, but since they're an American company no one bothers reporting on it and the consumer safety agency just ignores it. Multiple iPhone 7s have already spontaneously caught fire, yet for some reason, no one seems to care.

Multiples? I have heard of ONE, and that one was obviously damaged in shipment. The other story appears to be about two iPhone 6ses, and I don't know about the details.

So, CitationS (plural), please, for iPhone 7s.

And you must be new around here; because Apple can no more than adjust the color of the iPhone before there's a news story on Slashdot. So, I guarantee there is absolutely zero "non-reporting" of something like an iPhone going alight.

There has been a recent outbreak of Exploding iPhones over the past two weeks.

Samsung, yet again, was just copying Apple's brave spontaneous explosion features.

This is an especially worthless leak because the documents dealing with the thing that crashed in Roswell in 1947 were already declassified back in the mid 1990's.

My freshman physics teacher, and undergraduate college advisor, worked on project mogul. He was part of the team that built the craft that crashed in Roswell in 1947. I learned college physics from one of the beings that built the craft that crashed in Roswell and started a UFO 'craze'! (He was a human being, but that is still a being.) New Mexico Tech was an amazing school. Professors like Charlie Moore, Sterling Colgate, and Bernie Vonnegut (Kurt's brother) made it a pretty exciting place.

I don't really understand the purpose of the 'leak' unless it is to show that some people who work with Hillary Clinton have some pretty wacky beliefs. Has anyone been paying attention to politics for the last few decades? This is not startling in any way. Finding evidence of a rational person, without wacky beliefs, involved in politics would be a world shattering revelation.

Thanks for the explanation.

I notice that Noto Serif is a well-designed font. There is an italic and a bold, but no semi-bold. The Google Noto font download web page is a mess. How is NotoSansMandaic-unhinted different from NotoSans? When I look at the font in Windows font preview, I see no difference.

Thank you Google! This is badly needed because the Unicode Consortium screwed up Asian language support badly. The problem started when a bunch of Silicon Valley WASPS got together and formed the Unicode Consortium. Their experts were a joke. They had a foreign language expert who by his own admission couldn't speak the language he was supposedly expert it.

Then without consulting Asian language speakers they decided to combine all the Asian language characters - including those that were physically different.The result was like some elitist looking at the Greek and Roman alphabets and deciding 'a' is a lot like alpha, 'b' a lot like beta, so why not comine the two of them into a single alphabet, then tell you your name isn't Sam, it's "S". (Slashdot probably won't display this but you get the idea.) This affected eastern and central and south east asian languages.

This created the absurd situation where some people couldn't even spell write their names or enter them into databases prompting the famous "I Can Text You A Pile of Poo, But I Can't Write My Name" https://modelviewculture.com/p...

When it was pointed out did the Unicode Consortium admit they fucked up and fix it? Nope. They dug in their heels and insisted each country produce their own font which would display each Unicode character differently to suit their own language. Given the original goals of Unicode this was an amazing backflip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://books.google.com/books... https://plus.google.com/+LizHa... There are other problems too: The encoding the consortium expected makes asian codepages use more space than the standards they were supposed to replace. This was stupid since ASCII was already super efficient for English language, so what was the point?

If you only write English language software and ASCII is good enough you won't notice any of this but if you have to write International software it's a nightmare. Yes, you might think adding Unicode support allows any your app to run in any language, but it doesn't work like that because of this clusterfuck. You still have to provide different fonts for different countries, and you often have to provide support for old codepages (the various BIG5 variants) for fallback which Unicode was supposed to replace. It also makes translation very hard.

But Unicode fixed it eventually? Nope. The Unicode consortium continued to ignore it to this very day and instead started churning out stupid emoji: a steaming pile of poo, a taco, and farcical 'equality' emoticons. https://www.theguardian.com/te... https://www.theguardian.com/ar...

I hope this new font gives us one font which can display all languages and fuck the Unicode Consortium

Way back when Unicode decided to unify all the CJK glyphs they made several screwups in unifiying characters that were not actually the same in each of the languages. Aside from the character looking wrong in Chinese or Japanese (whichever language you don't have installed as default) they may sort differently in different languages so collation is wrong too. More information (note that you'll need a full CJK font and a browser supporting language selection to see the differences).

Noto's solution was to create a font with every possible glyph, then for systems which can't support identifying the correct glyph based on language, they made versions of the fonts where the default characters are the Japanese versions or the Chinese versions or so on, then for embedded stuff they made versions of the fonts with just one language's characters. Noto's explanation of their CJK fonts. In other words, you only need one of the 110MB font files.

1. On the emjoi's fonts there's "Raised Hand With Part Between Middle And Ring Fingers" - WhyTF is that not called "live long and prosper"? Some fonts are described by how they look while others are described by what they mean. A bit inconsistent but I guess that's more of a Unicode consortium issue.

2. Some of the hand emoji's like "White Left Pointing Backhand Index" are all called "white..." even though they've clearly done the race/skin tone colour spectrum ala whatsapp.

2b. The colours are a second unicode code (emoji modifier sequence) on the emoji ranging from U+1F3FB (white/pale) to 1F3FF (black/dark). (Btw, that's counter intuitive to programmers since RGB colour codes have "#00" being dark and "#FF" being light.) P.S. I haven't decided if the skin colour aspect of emoji's is racist or not. There may be some people who found the default yellow emoji's racist.

Answer to #2:
 

Names of symbols such as BLACK MEDIUM SQUARE or WHITE MEDIUM SQUARE are not meant to indicate that the corresponding character must be presented in black or white, respectively; rather, the use of “black” and “white” in the names is generally just to contrast filled versus outline shapes, or a darker color fill versus a lighter color fill. Similarly, in other symbols such as the hands U+261A BLACK LEFT POINTING INDEX and U+261C WHITE LEFT POINTING INDEX, the words “white” and “black” also refer to outlined versus filled, and do not indicate skin color.

and

General-purpose emoji for people and body parts should also not be given overly specific images: the general recommendation is to be as neutral as possible regarding race, ethnicity, and gender. Thus for the character U+1F777 CONSTRUCTION WORKER, the recommendation is to use a neutral graphic like (with an orange skin tone) instead of an overly specific image like (with a light skin tone). This includes the emoji modifier base characters listed in Sample Emoji Modifier Bases. The emoji modifiers allow for variations in skin tone to be expressed.

Oh Rubbish. Now take that headline:

AFTER: "AMERICAN APPEALS COURT Reinstates AMERICAN COMPANY'S Apple's $120 Million Slide-To-Unlock AMERICAN Patent Win Over KOREAN COMPANY Samsung"

When American companies step outside off American soil and try and launch patent suits overseas they almost always fail. Look at some of the patents that trolls like Apple have been celebrating in the US, but when they tried to do the same with patents in Europe and Asia they lost. American patent juries are notoriously biased towards American companies. That's how the whole East Texas Patent Troll County thing came about: Companies knew the judges and juries would give them the result they wanted.

Seriously, when you think about Bigfoot, you're talking about the Pacific Northwest, *not* the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The Cascades and the Rockies are remote enough that you can handwave about isolated pockets of 6-foot tall crypto-primtes, but Michigan? The Lower Peninsula of Michigan? Sure, the northern regions are rather rural and forested, but really? Take a look at a map of the area: There's county roads criss-crossing the area every mile or so, and there's a bunch of houses scattered in there.

If there was a breeding population of Bigfeet in the area, why are we only getting a fuzzy picture of one now? Shouldn't there have been some interaction before now?

While I don't exactly like that I have to buy a specific phone, I have been pleased with the coverage area + cost. I used to have an area on my drive I called the "Verizon dead spot". After switching over, I haven't had issues with consistent dropping calls.

After you get past the phone expense, the price/month isn't bad: $20+data+taxes.

Actually, big pharmacy new drugs require billions of dollars of testing. Once a new drug is discovered, it requires roughly $350 million of investment to get to market. The FDA requires 3.5 years of experiments on rats, several safety and efficacy human trials, and then a few years of sponsoring patient follow-ups once the drug hits market to collect more data on dosing, safety, efficacy, and side-effects. All that comes after the drug has been designed in the first place; and fewer than 10% of drugs make it to market, so the amortized cost is ridiculous.

It's part of why I want a big pharma co (I'm a fan of Shire and Sun Pharmaceuticals) to help me out in getting the FDA to GRASE Phenylpiracetam based on its 30 years of use to treat seizures, depression, and old-age dementia. $350M to get an old drug to market in the U.S. is a show-stopper, especially for something immediately-generic.

I'm on amphetamine now in an attempt to treat ADHD--amphetamine because it's dopamine reversing (the neuroreceptors which uptake dopamine instead pump more into your brain). I have anhedonia, which means I don't feel good; I don't feel bad (depression, dysphoria), but rather don't get a thrill and a reinforcing reward out of laughing, success, sex, or the like. On Phenylpiracetam, I feel friggin' great, and laughing at something funny causes a ... tingly? ... feeling inside that fades slowly over 10-15 minutes, and really just feels awesome; my psychiatrist informs me that's not me getting really fucking high (although there's mild euphoria--it's like the dramatic movie image of waking up and today is such a fucking great day, you decide to accomplish everything), but that normal people just feel that way all the time. He put me on amphetamine rather than atomoxetine to give me that feeling.

Amphetamine (dextro-alpha-methylphenethylamine, or d-a-m-ph-et-amine) is a dangerous drug. It's addictive (physical dependence, withdrawal), toxic (in moderately-high doses), and *very* readily-abused (it makes you want more); and it brings high heart rate, blood pressure, appetite suppression, sleep suppression, and psychosis both on its own and supported by those other issues. Adderall is a great treatment for ADHD, and amphetamine has a proven safety record when used properly; it is, however, a dangerous and addictive substance. That's not moral panic; the disease we face is abuse, not a toxic substance we should be looking to excise from our society and only accept out of necessity (although the methylated salt is probably that).

Phenylpiracetam is non-addictive. It has a problem with tolerance, but not withdrawal; and "tolerance" might actually go as far as "raise to 200-300mg doses eventually", although I'd rather take breaks. It's got a shorter (30-year) safety record; a dose of 100mg is standard, 750mg per day is manufacturer-listed MTD, and the manufacturer has suggested toxicity starts becoming a concern around 24,000mg. It's anti-convulsive (Amphetamine can--rarely--cause seizure, mostly if you overdose), anti-psychotic, and of course a stimulant. Its main problems are, thus, more about dosing than about possible toxic side-effects. As for my purpose (anhedonia), a German patent showed it as a better motivator for rats, who worked 4-5 times harder to get tasty food and mostly didn't bother with less-tasty food when they were on phenylpiracetam (each group of rats ate the same amount, roughly; they weren't starving themselves, they were just damned determined to have steak tonight instead of McDonalds bullshit)--largely because "good result" plugged that feel-good reward thing in their brain a lot harder.

Different drugs, different uses; and for my purposes, an un-approved drug is much safer and more-effective (it doesn't treat my attention issues, though, hence why I went for psychiatric care; I would really like to try this with Atomoxetine, but I'll have that discussion with my psychi

They don't use glass panels or anything like that. They claim:

Each panel contains 15-cm wide cells making up a very thin film of polycrystalline silicon that transforms solar energy into electricity. These extremely fragile photovoltaic cells are coated in a multilayer substrate composed of resins and polymers, translucent enough to allow sunlight to pass through, and resistant enough to withstand truck traffic. The composite âoesandwichâ is also designed to adapt to the pavementâ(TM)s natural thermal expansion. The surface that is in contact with vehicle tires is treated to ensure skid-resistance equivalent to conventional asphalt mixes.

In this perfectly watertight layer cake, the electrical system is designed to ensure that the entire system does not short circuit if one cell is down. Electrical connections can be hooked up on the side of traffic lanes, in gutters or in ducts integrated in the panels themselves. Lastly, electronic circuit breakers ensure safety.

They have clearly thought about this and patented a (supposedly) novel way of implementing it. Of course Solar Roadways have their own tech which I can't comment on, but the basic idea seems to be practical and Colas have a contract to roll it out on French autoroutes.

That's cool, I'm glad it works for you. I don't have a Windows license or use any Windows specific apps, but I'm not even sure if some of the apps I use are available in that environment, such as Rosegarden.

Also I'm not too familiar with Windows past 2000, I probably wouldn't know where to begin on what to enable/disable to have a usable desktop without nags, and I'm not a fan of updating each driver/app separately (or even installing drivers, which I don't have to do in Linux). I mentioned that I love apt because I like being able to update everything all at once, knowing that no update will conflict with another and knowing everything has been tested in that configuration together.

I also really don't like how certain updates reset certain settings to default, I don't want my settings to be randomy changed.

I don't think Windows is an option for me, it would be hard for me to abandon the conveniences of my current desktop.

* THIS ACTUALLY WORKS DOING MORE THAN ANY SINGLE OTHER SO-CALLED SOLUTION DOES, NATIVELY FOR LESS (on many levels) + for more speed, security & reliability than illogically "Bolted on 'MoAr'" so-called 'solutions' that are full of security issues galore (DNS, antivirus) & bloated as hell (dns, antivirus, browser addons (crippled by default & 'souled-out')) too many moving parts bloat + room for exploitations.

Right, because his 2015 tax returns ARE NOT COMPLETE. The IRS has placed them into that status by choosing to audit them...

Nope, that's a lie put out by Trump. (as are >50% of his statements. I really don't understand why anyone would uncritically repeat him). This has been debunked so many times, I'd feel silly just picking one source to refute it. Just Google "IRS audit statement Trump" and pick your favorite.

The best that can be said for it (which I read on The Hill), was that it wouldn't be legally very smart of him to do so, as the media is liable to end up doing a lot of the IRS's investigative work for them, but that's still entirely his choice (and could be said about anyone). Clinton and every other major-party POTUS candidate have done so anyway. The fact that's he's afraid to do so is pretty damning.
