It's not impatence or a design choice. It's pretty obviously a bug, because Apple didn't think of thie use case of unencrypted system drives and encrypted other drives.
Windows creates the thumbnails in a subdirectory of the original, so it should also be encrypted (or maybe it doesn't anymore.) And I believe the index is per drive. At any rate, there is a checkbox for "turn off thumbnails" and "turn off indexing" on a drive.
It is very unlikely that the police officer was armed. UK police are rarely armed,
UK police are rarely armed, and UK civilians aren't clamoring for the right to own guns. These are related phenomena. If we take the poster I was responding to We have to assume if the lawss changed so that the citizenry could own/carry guns, that far more police would too. Look at the US for an example.
gmail did not support filtering into categories, instead they wanted me to use tags
What's the difference? Where do folders fit in?
I'm curious because the way I think about UX and such is very different from (almost) everyone else, and I don't understand the distinction that upset you. Nor do I understand how your workflow would be different between them.
Elevators that would automatically go to the ground floor unless you pushed a button
This has nothing to do with "second-guessing". Most elevator rides go from ground floor to a level, or from a level to ground floor. Therefore, the most efficient place for the elevator to home to is ground level. If you don't tell the elevator to do something else, that's where it goes (exceptions for if there are many elevators in a bank). But note, if someone above you calls for the elevator, even though you didn't hit a button (or even if you're already heading down), the elevator will go up to respond to that call. Unless you push a button when you're in the elevator, overriding the default behavior.
jukeboxes with a mechanical memory that would pick the song-before-the-last
This behavior seems more like a hacky default system than an intentional choice.
bibles, where the page width varied slightly by design
This seems interesting if true. But I'd like a citation.
A swat team is what you send in if and only if you need someone taken down, not to determine whether it's needed. That's not their job, and they are exceptionally bad at it.
The SWAT team was quite good in this case. They held their fire. It was the additional cops they brought on the scene who panicked and shot the unarmed person.
And it's a good thing only the police had weapons in this situation. The photographer went through the legal process and won. If he had started a gun battle, he would have been shot dead and never vindicated.
Most of the laws came about once cars existed, because the taxis were causing far too much traffic. Most laws don't have any relation to a monopoly, although their prices are regulated to avoid the fares going up too much because of the artificially limited supply. Technology can help prevent illegal activity, but ride sharing is still producing vast traffic jams. Especially around events.
"So what if MicroSoft is using Javascript to rewrite their apps?"
Microsoft has invested heavily in.NET (which has many flavors, the most popular of which is C#), going so far as to purchase and make free.NET compilation to Android and iOS. It's a language that gets a lot of use (it's their answer to Java). They've also invested heavily in TypeScript, a language that compiles to JavaScript.
And by "invested heavily" I mean invented the languages, write tons of articles and software in them, and far more.
(Required Car Analog) Microsoft rewriting a major area of their business in Javascript would be equivalent to the news Ford was purchasing a fleet of Chevy trucks to move their parts around and all the execs were getting new Chevy cars. A profound shift away from using their core product line that would make everyone question what the fuck was going on. This would be especially troubling to anyone who invested in their core product line, such as dealers of Fords or owners worried about replacement parts. And as I mentioned, there is a huge codebase in C# and other MS languages right now.
That isn't determined by your language, it's determined by your management and commitment to quality.
This is only partially true. Bad languages are bad for a reason. They don't have proper encapsulation or a million other features that make it easier to write good programs.
As an extreme example, there are languages where there aren't function calls as you know them. (These have been mostly abandoned) So you write a goto, manage the stack yourself, document the hell out of it. But it's still requires a lot of work to manage. Work that means the rest of the product suffers. Which isn't to say it's not possible to have a good product come out. Just that it takes longer and is more error-prone.
I could go on with tons of different examples of features, but that hardly seems necessary.
"Gamed" meaning Uber will comply with the law and alter the driver agreements as needed to maintain their status as contractors.
Yes, that's precisely what I mean. Avoiding Uber technically complying while violating the intent of the rules.
This is about government trying to all but eliminate individuals working for themselves as independents. Controlling people [by threatening that tehy get fired]
That's just stupid paranoid bullshit. First, it's no easier to get someone fired than to suggest Uber delist them as a driver/contractor. Actually, because of the longterm commitments and anti-firing laws in an employee situation, it's easier for the government to bring pressure to fire a contractor. Second, there hasn't been a case of that in the US for at least 50 years (and most of the people on McCarthy's blacklist were contractors), and that was considered heinous by today's standards. Third, corporations are pretty good at standing up to the government. Fourth, an employee, unlike a contractor, can actually get unemployment, etc. if they get fired, reducing the cost to them
But go on, explain how the legal classification of someone as an employee is going to increase the government's power over them.
technology has made the 19th century laws obsolete.
Well, they're 20th century laws, but what do you think the point of them was? Because, where I am, I definitely see similar problems to what caused the taxi laws to go into effect.
Centuries ago, books were set using movable type and usually consisted solely of words (this is also true today.) So any aesthetics needed to be conveyed by the font. Now things are on a screen, if you want pretty here's tons of realistic images and videos. Just get the information across.
Also, apparently pretty fonts are easier to read on paper, but harder to read on a computer screen.
Well, for instance, the people buying/leasing a car through Uber could easily be classified as employees. Uber and Lyft each have bonus structures around driving during rush hours (so less than 30 hours per week, but giving N rides during rush hours that involve being on the road for the entire time). People who want to Uber for a living make sure to hit those bonuses. Those people are de facto employees.
The problem is, any rules we put down will be gamed by Uber (since they don't want an employee). So the solution seems to be to make them all employees. While it may be that most drivers are casual, most rides are given by people who derive most of their income from Uber. And I'm far more interested in protecting those people than the people who do it for a few hours per week cause they are bored.
it would be very difficult for a songwriter to listen to every song ever written and ensure that his new song does not sound anything like them
On the contrary, not having been exposed to the copyrighted work is an effective defense against copyright infringement. Unlike patents, parallel construction is a defense.
53 +/- 29, so it is just as likely to be 82 as 53 as 24
The numbers fall on a bell curve. So while 82 and 24 are just as likely as each other, 53 is actually 3x as likely as either of those extremes.
Your further extrapolation is wrong on face (you can mathmatically carry through error margins) . Even if you were correct mathematically, according to your logic, it would be just as likely to have increased 5.5x (24->185) as 1.5x (82->133) as 3x (53->159) as... All of which average to... 3x
Most android apps will work perfectly well with a keyboard/mouse. At lease from a UI standpoint. And technically, I would imagine the mouse/finger emulation is fine.
If you ask then if the world is flat or if UFO's exist, you will get the same answer.
They do actually answer if the world is flat. They publish maps of and general facts about countries/territories/areas. Think census/atlas level information. It's mostly so they don't have to keep responding to other government agencies for non-classified things (I guess there's a regulation to use CIA data for some reports/purposes).
Except bandwidth is closer to roads than cars. The incremental cost to a packet is (almost) zero, but the infrastructure is very expensive. On the other hand, the total infrastructure costs per car made are quite low compared to other costs.
The self-checkout lets me check the price of each item as I add it. The number of errors I catch is pretty high. I'm not looking forward to keeping a separate receipt on a calculator, comparing it to the insta-charge and then finding the one employee to complain.

85-10 is pretty squarely in the "override veto" territory.
If they didn't expect you to do it, they didn't expect it. I'm not sure why you think it was cost saving.... it's just unexpected.
You cannot expect anything. And if no one in the area did it, it's unlikely the software will support it.
