    1. Part of the problem of social media is that there is no equivalent to the scientific glassblowers’ sign, or the woodworker’s open door, or Dafna and Jesse’s sandwich boards. On the internet, if you stop speaking: you disappear. And, by corollary: on the internet, you only notice the people who are speaking nonstop.

      This quote comes from a larger piece by Robin Sloan. (I don't know who that is though)

      The problem with social media is that the equivalent to working with the garage door open (working in public) is repeatedly talking in public about what you're doing.

      One problem with this is that you need to choose what you want to talk about, and say it. This emphasizes whatever you select, not what would catch a passerby's eye.

      The other problem is that you become more visible by the more you talk. Conversely, when you stop talking, you become invisible.

    1. Google encouraging site admins to put reCaptcha all over their sites, and then sharing the resulting risk scores with those admins is great for security, Perona thinks, because he says it “gives site owners more control and visibility over what’s going on” with potential scammer and bot attacks, and the system will give admins more accurate scores than if reCaptcha is only using data from a single webpage to analyze user behavior. But there’s the trade-off. “It makes sense and makes it more user-friendly, but it also gives Google more data,”
    2. This kind of cookie-based data collection happens elsewhere on the internet. Giant companies use it as a way to assess where their users go as they surf the web, which can then be tied into providing better targeted advertising.
    3. For instance, Google’s reCaptcha cookie follows the same logic of the Facebook “like” button when it’s embedded in other websites—it gives that site some social media functionality, but it also lets Facebook know that you’re there.
    1. With this method, you can ensure the email address receiving your communication actually belongs to the person giving the consent and hereby further ensure that you avoid high unsubscribe rates, retain the integrity of your list and the reputation of your address. This method of registration is considered best practice in many countries, especially Germany and in the EU in general.
    2. Generally, these laws apply to any service targeting residents of the region, which effectively means that they may apply to your business whether it’s located in the region or not.
    1. Generally, such legislations apply to any service targeting residents of the region, which effectively means that they may apply to your business whether it’s located in the region or not
    2. These rules usually apply to any company selling to EU residents but may vary for international sellers on a case-by-case basis. It is worth noting, however, that in recent cases US courts have chosen to uphold the applicable EU law.
    1. The only reason why your workaround isn't blocked as well is because it has additional steps that don't explicitly breach Mozilla's policies. But it certainly defeats the spirit of it.

    1. many organisations block torrents (for obvious reasons) and I know, for example, that either of these options would have posed insurmountable hurdles at my previous employment
    2. Actually, I probably would have ended up just paying for it myself due to the procurement challenges of even a single-digit dollar amount, but let's not get me started on that
    1. the security risk argument doesn't make sense. Numerous social media and forum sites support HTML and they don't seem particularly prone to security issues.
    1. This repository contains the parts of the RubyMotion product that are opensource. It does not contain the full product, which can be purchased at www.rubymotion.com.
    1. They are proof that our openness about our data formats means that you do not have to fear data lock-in.
    2. It’s this third way that we avoid lock-in that is relevant to today’s topic. Our data format design is specified well enough so that people with no connection to AgileBits can write software to be able to handle it.
    1. Of course, just because your users want a copy of their data doesn't necessarily mean that they're abandoning your product. Many users just feel safer having a local copy of their data as a backup.
    2. If you don't—or can't—lock your users in, the best way to compete is to innovate at a breakneck pace. Let's use Google Search as an example. It's a product that cannot lock users in: users don't have to install software to use it; they don't have to upload data to use it; they don't have to sign two-year contracts; and if they decide to try another search engine, they merely type it into their browser's location bar, and they're off and running.
    3. it is far preferable to spend your engineering effort on innovation than it is to build bigger walls and stronger doors that prevent users from leaving
    4. Want to keep your users? Just make it easy for them to leave.
    5. Users are starting to realize, however, that as they store more and more of their personal data in services that are not physically accessible, they run the risk of losing vast swaths of their online legacy if they don't have a means of removing their data.
    1. 1Password wasn’t built in a vacuum. It was developed on top of open standards that anyone with the right skills can investigate, implement, and improve. Open tools are trusted, proven, and constantly getting better. Here’s how 1Password respects the principles behind the open tools on which it relies:

      I found it ironic that this proprietary software that I have avoided using because it is proprietary software is touting the importance of open tools.

    1. Patients with diffuse cerebral edema resulting in excessive ICP may require a decompressive craniectomy, although a recent AAST multicenter trial questioned the benefits.
    2. The goal of resuscitation and management in patients with head injuries is to avoid hypotension (SBP of <100 mmHg) and hypoxia (partial pressure of arterial oxygen of <60 or arterial oxygen saturation of <90%).
    1. “By using a mask, even if it doesn’t do a lot, it moves the locus of control to you, away from the virus. It gives the individual a greater sense of control in this otherwise not-controlled situation.”

    1. Piwik PRO uses a fork of Piwik open-source software (similarly to RedHat using the Linux kernel and multiple open source tools), however we currently seamlessly integrate a part of open source Piwik in our proprietary platform via APIs. Moreover, Piwik PRO controls all the changes to the code used in its Analytics Suite and since 2016 has been maintaining and developing its own fork of “Piwik” alongside the proprietary modules of Analytics Suite.
    1. That outcome, in fact, is why the General Data Protection Regulation has been introduced. GDPR is being billed by the EU as the biggest shake-up of data privacy regulations since the birth of the web, saying it sets new standards in the wake of the recent Facebook data harvesting scandal.
    1. The mean time taken in the group II (bromelain) was 335.30 seconds which was nearly equal to the mean time of group I (papain) of 352.33 seconds.

      This is slightly longer than normal teeth brushing sessions, but the frequency of brushing implies that my bromelain/papain toothpaste is more than adequate to deal with dental caries. Additionally, carries prior to tooth extraction are generally going to be small, meaning that a single brushing session might remove them.

    1. Whenever I'm so substantively shaky or incoherent as to make my case unpersuasively the first time around, I figure I should live with the consequences. And whenever I find criticism flawed, I figure readers — perceptive as they are — will see the flaw as well, therefore there's no need for me to rub it in.
    1. Earlier this year it began asking Europeans for consent to processing their selfies for facial recognition purposes — a highly controversial technology that regulatory intervention in the region had previously blocked. Yet now, as a consequence of Facebook’s confidence in crafting manipulative consent flows, it’s essentially figured out a way to circumvent EU citizens’ fundamental rights — by socially engineering Europeans to override their own best interests.
    2. has shone a spotlight on the risks that flow from platforms that operate by systematically keeping their users in the dark.
    3. The deceitful obfuscation of commercial intention certainly runs all the way through the data brokering and ad tech industries that sit behind much of the ‘free’ consumer Internet. Here consumers have plainly been kept in the dark so they cannot see and object to how their personal information is being handed around, sliced and diced, and used to try to manipulate them.
    4. design choices are being selected to be intentionally deceptive. To nudge the user to give up more than they realize. Or to agree to things they probably wouldn’t if they genuinely understood the decisions they were being pushed to make.
    1. For instance, a strict interpretation of the law would require publishers to get opt-in consent by individual vendor, rather than an 'Accept All' pop-up prompt. The approach that publishers and ad tech vendor are taking is that a mass opt-in button - with an option to dive deeper and toggle consent by vendor - follows the "spirit of the law". This stance is increasingly coming under fire, though, especially as seen by a new study by researchers at UCL, MIT, and Aarhus University.

    1. Robert Wiblin: Yeah. I guess in politics it seems that that brings out people’s tribal instincts, so they tend to group together for practical reasons, if not intellectual reasons, like kind of all sharing the same views or like wanting to fall into line and are particularly incentivized to do that. An interesting thing, I’ll provide a link to a study looking at how ideologically tightly grouped are people in politics, which found that uneducated people just like have views all over the place. Their views on one question don’t really predict their views on another.

      The Ezra Klein take on Donald Kinder and Nathan Kalmoe’s "Neither Liberal nor Conservative: Ideological Innocence in the American Public. "?

      So are you saying that you think political people group together more in politics than philosophers do in philosophy? Hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison here, of course, as most people don't think deeply about these philosophical questions.

There are many benefits of having a pre-wedding photo shoot in Melbourne of which the biggest one is the photographer being able to spend quality time with the bride and the groom solely focusing on capturing stunning images without the added stress of the day. The couple will have a better idea of how the professional photographer operates and will ensure they will be more comfortable posing in front of the camera on the big day. As well as being able to sample the wedding photographer’s style, it is also a great way to have professional images for invites, guestbooks and social media. A lot of the time the pre-wedding photos turn out better and more creative than photos on the day. Many pre-wedding photographers give you the choice of a number of themes and Melbourne locations for pre-wedding photos. Very often, couples display the cultural roots of their heritage in their guestbook and pre-wedding album. Other more modern couples prefer dreamy locations and exquisite clothing – like a glamorous photo shoot to capture the personality of the couple. The most popular kind of pre-wedding photo session is the candid style. These photos portray a natural and effortless mood, where pictures are candidly captured in a stunning backdrop. Being amongst the best pre-wedding photographers in Melbourne, we take it as our responsibility to ensure the couple feels comfortable, as, after all, we understand most of us are not runway models. It is important to note that not all photographers are experienced in capturing candid shots and there are many styles of wedding photography that exist. This is the reason why you must choose the best pre-wedding photographer Melbourne who has proven through their portfolio that they are comfortable with creative and photo shoots. Although at most weddings there will be a similarly styled photo shoot, usually this is much shorter and couples are not as good with responding to prompts with the stressors of the day.Pre-wedding photography Melbourne has picked up over the last few years in all cultures embracing these short creative sessions before their big day. Here are a few reasons Why You Should Book in a Pre-Wedding Photography Shoot in Melbourne:10 Reasons Why You Should book a Pre-Wedding Photography Melbourne<img class="alignnone wp-image-766 size-full lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590.jpg" alt="Pre-Wedding Photography Melbourne" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590.jpg 1000w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px">Reason#1 Getting rid of camera jittersAs mentioned above, with pre-wedding shoot couples are usually much better models as they will be more relaxed and hence the photos will turn out much more natural and candid. At Flashback Feels, we use certain prompts suited to the personality of the couple to try and hone in on these shots. Without the pressure of the big day and a big crowd, we can ensure we get the perfect shot with the perfect lighting and poses. Reason #2: Photos in different Melbourne locations<img class="alignright wp-image-765 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-300x200.jpg" alt="wedding photography Melbourne" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">A lot of planning goes into the pre-wedding shots as the photographer can plan every aspect of the photos. Pre-wedding photos usually occur in a variety different locations which is great as this is not always practical during the wedding day to allow for this luxury. Often, a region where there are multiple sceneries is ideal such as beaches, forests, mountains. In Greater Melbourne, Red Hill and Arthur’s Seat is a prime example. You may also want to relieve the moments where you first saw each other, the place of the proposal, or any other location that’s special to the both. There are endless ideas that you may want to try, and you will be surprised at the impact it leaves on your pre-wedding album. Years later, when you look at these pictures, you will be reminded of those memories that were so crucial to building your relationship. Reason #3: It’s not your wedding day <img class="alignleft wp-image-532 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-300x200.jpg" alt="wedding photography Melbourne" width="330" height="220" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px">This session is usually a lot of fun as you are not amidst the hustle-bustle of several things around you. Also, you certainly don’t have to coordinate a multitude of things like on the day of the event. Though your photographer will be a part of all the proceedings throughout the day and photos will be taken accordingly, no one will be there reminding you of the schedule for the day during your pre-wedding photoshoot. This is an all-exclusive shoot of just you, your partner and maybe your pet.  In some situations, pre-wedding engagement photography sessions may also have the couple posing in their wedding attire. While this may seem unusual for some, many couples find it so much easier to have a dedicated photo shoot in their wedding attire on a completely different day. Reason #4: Plan out your photos to perfection<img class="alignright wp-image-541 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-300x215.jpg" alt="wedding photographer Melbourne" width="241" height="173" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-300x215.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-768x549.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px">There is a great benefit of planning out your pre-wedding shoot. Although the technical aspects such as lighting and backdrops are primarily done by the photographer, you can help the by discussing places that are special to you, and the style you want to portray.The pre-wedding photography Melbourne session may last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Sessions that require traveling typically take a bit longer. The couple may want to have elaborate sequences and even decide to use props such as boats and farm animals for their photos. Also using a flare in photography has also taken off in the past few years, the options are endless so let us know your ideas.Reason #5: Hair and make-up trial<img class="alignleft wp-image-1118 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-300x169.jpg" alt="wedding photography and videography Melbourne" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-300x169.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-768x432.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">This is an opportunity to try out your hair and make-up before your big day to see how you will look in professional photos. Some stylists prefer to keep a trial day for make-up and hair demo, so your pre-wedding photo shoot can be that day when you can try out a style from the wedding.Advise your stylist if you want any adjustments to your make-up and hair to suit the photography style that you would like to have for the event.   Reason #6: Get the exact photos you want<img class="alignright wp-image-764 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-300x200.jpg" alt="pre-wedding photos" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">During the wedding day you may not always have the energy to decide what shots you want. After all, this event is yours and you must be happy with the images. With a pre-wedding photo shoot you have the resources to retake the photos over and over again until you are happy with the result. While the pre-wedding photo session will make you feel comfortable and forget the nerves of your event, it also guides the professional photographer to understand what you really like for the big day. From our experience at Flashback Feels, the outcome of pre-wedding photography is usually amazing as you will be happy with the way things turn out.Reason #7: Reception slideshow<img class="alignleft wp-image-533 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-200x300.jpg" alt="pre wedding photography Melbourne" width="168" height="252" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-200x300.jpg 200w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px">The photos produced from a pre-wedding shoot can become a main decor of your reception. Often, your guests will be amazed watching the slideshow of your love story with such high-quality images. Dim the lights for ten minutes, play some beautiful music in the background and let the photos splash on the venue screens. If timing permits, pre-wedding photographs can be showcased at your bridal shower as well. With so many photos captured during your pre-wedding photography session, you can also highlight your love story for your engagement party as well.  Reason #8: Invitation and save the date cards<img class="alignright wp-image-1559 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720-212x300.jpg.webp" alt="Wedding Card " width="170" height="241" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720-212x300.jpg.webp 212w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720.jpg.webp 509w" sizes="(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px">It is recommended that you have your pre-wedding photo shoot at least two months before your wedding.

If you have hired the same Melbourne pre-wedding photographer for your wedding, you don’t need to send these pictures to add to the final album. During your discussion with the photographer just mention that you would like the album to start off with some of these candid pictures. After all, your love story is incomplete without a glimpse of your beautiful relationship. This also gives a variety of clothes you’re wearing and different locations too.Reason #10: Wall art<img class="alignright wp-image-849 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom-300x180.jpg" alt="wedding photography studios Melbourne" width="300" height="180" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom-300x180.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">Pre-wedding photos often turn out more ‘couply’ as you’re usually dressed in casual clothes. With a wall dedicated to photos of the both of you and mixed with your wedding images can be a whole lot of fun. Colourful prints and canvases from your photoshoot can be displayed in your bedroom and living room. A pre-wedding photo shoot can really tell the story and personality of a couple. These pre-wedding photos are a true testimony of the emotional connection between you and your partner. For your photographer, it is the best way to understand the personality of you and your partner, whether you prefer a posed or candid style of photography. Quite often, you will reminisce your initial chemistry with each other and relieve those romantic sparks during the shoot. With the wedding coming up very soon, you will be occupied with a lot of event planning so this is the perfect chance for you to be yourself and create those moments of togetherness that we can capture perfectly on camera. So, are you interested in a pre-wedding photography shoot Melbourne and looking for an experienced pre-wedding photographer trusted by couples all all around Victoria?

    1. "The replication crisis, if nothing else, has shown that productivity is not intrinsically valuable. Much of what psychology has produced has been shown, empirically, to be a waste of time, effort, and money. As Gibson put it: our gains are puny, our science ill-founded. As a subject, it is hard to see what it has to lose from a period of theoretical confrontation. The ultimate response to the replication crisis will determine whether this bout is postponed or not."

    1. If you are using a JavaScript library, chances are it comes with a client HTTP API. jQuery’s $.ajax() function, for example, has been particularly popular with frontend developers. But as developers move away from such libraries in favor of native APIs, dedicated HTTP clients have emerged to fill the gap.

    1. For example, take the character for east , which in the Beijingdialect has the sound “dong” (pronounced “doong,” as in Mao Ze-dong’s name). Since a Chinese character is read aloud as a single syllableand since spoken Chinese is also rather short of sounds (there are onlyabout four hundred different syllables in the whole language), it hasbeen plagued with homophones, words that sound like other words, like“soul” and “sole” or “all” and “awl” in English. It happened that thespoken word meaning “freeze” had the sound “dong.” So did a spokenword meaning a roof beam. When the Chinese went to write down thecharacter for freeze, they took the character for east and put beside itthe symbol of ice , which makes the character (“dong,” to freeze).To write down the word sounding “dong” which meant roof beam, theywrote the character east and put before it the symbol for wood mak-ing (“dong,” a roof beam).These are simple examples. Indeed, any part of the Chinese languageis simple in itself. It becomes difficult because there is so much of it to beremembered, so many meanings and allusions. When the lexicographersof later times wanted to arrange thousands of Chinese characters in adictionary, for instance, the best they could do in the absence of an al-phabet was to work out a list of 214 classifiers or “radicals,” one ofwhich was sure to be in each character in the language. These 214classifiers, for dictionary purposes, correspond to the 26 letters of our al-phabet, but are more ambiguous and less efficient. Shang writing was al-ready using “radicals” like wood, mouth, heart, hand, that indicatedcategories of meaning. From the start the governmental power of theChinese writing system was at the ruler’s disposal. Writing seems to haveemerged more in the service of lineage organization and governmentthan in the service of trade.

    1. We did a study, many many years ago in education, about the importance and the role of technology in the classroom, how can it help with the education process. The result of this education research we did was that the students who succeed are the ones who are most engaged, which is really simple.

      People are focusing on Schiller’s comment about Chromebooks, yet this reference to an old study is perhaps more revealing.

    1. This is an interesting article for assistive technology in adult literacy as you can listen to it like a person with LD would. Initially, it was beneficial, but load times and generic voice are challenging for me, but I am not used to using the AT device. Also interesting is the lack of study on the matter of LD in adult literacy, and therefore this study is really "surveying the gaps." Sadly, what we do know is that minority LD students rates for graduation are lower than whites with LD, and that the dropout rates are higher as well. LD students access to AT may be key to understanding the dynamics of graduation and drop out rates in addition to literacy. A proven solution is small group tutoring with AT as it can be empowering and enabling LD students to learn.

In Philadelphia, a small group of transit riders sat down to talk about what sucks about the bus. “What is it about the bus?” the interviewer said, and they were off.“They got to stop at every corner,” one rider said. “That’s going to be an inconvenience if you are trying to get someplace fast.”“They don’t come,” said another. “Like, you will just wait at the corner and they don’t come. And sometimes the bus will come but it will just go right by you, so you have to wait for the next one. It happens way too much for me.”

Mar 27, 2019, 09:30 ET Share this article IRVING, Texas, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Made-to-order smoothies and agua frescas … street tacos on handmade tortillas … a growler refill station pouring local craft beers … baked-in-store cookies and croissants … patio and inside dining areas … The newest 7-Eleven® location is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer's latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. The newest 7-Eleven location in Dallas is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer’s latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. 7-Eleven, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its new lab store in Dallas – and the only one in the U.S. – March 22. The store is located at the Sylvan | Thirty retail and restaurant development on Sylvan Avenue, north of Interstate 30. This location is less than two miles from the original Southland Ice House in Oak Cliff where 7-Eleven pioneered the convenience retailing concept more than 90 years ago. "Convenience retailing is light years away from the days of bread and milk being sold from ice docks in 1927, and the industry is changing at a faster rate than ever before," said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and chief operating officer. "7-Eleven stays at the forefront by pushing the boundaries and being unafraid to try new things. This new lab store will serve as a place to test, learn and iterate new platforms and products to see what really resonates with customers and how we can use those learnings to influence future store designs."The lab store is also the first 7-Eleven location to incorporate the Laredo Taco Company® taqueria, and the first Laredo Taco Company location in Dallas. 7-Eleven acquired the taqueria along with Stripes® convenience stores in South Texas as part of the 1,000-store acquisition from Sunoco in 2018. Laredo Taco Company is famous in South Texas for its handmade tortillas made from scratch in stores every day as well as its popular salsa bar with on-site, daily prepared salsas, guacamole and pico de gallo. Tacos, quesadillas and plate meals include specialties not always seen in quick-serve Tex-Mex restaurants such as carne guisada, barbacoa, picadillo bistec, carnitas and breakfast tacos made with hand-cracked eggs.Some of the other innovative ideas customers will see at the new 7-Eleven lab store include: Made-to-order coffee drinks, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and agua frescas that give customers the option to customize their drinks in a full-service beverage format. Additionally, it carries novelty beverages on tap such as nitro cold brew, kombucha and organic teas. "The Cellar," an alcove dedicated to an expanded selection of wines and craft beers, with a nearby growler station that features a rotating selection of local craft beer, cider and ales on tap. At the growler station, customers can enjoy a draft of their favorite beverage with their meal onsite or fill a growler to take home. A cold treats bar with frozen yogurt, ice cream and multiple toppings Cookies, croissants and more baked-in-store daily Digital initiatives that enhance the shopping experience. Scan & Pay technology that allows customers to skip the checkout line and pay for their (non-age-restricted) purchases on their smartphones. Indoor and patio restaurant-style seating in the Laredo Taco Company portion of the store as well as bar-seating across the front windows in the retail space. Many of the new items in this 7-Eleven "innovation station" are limited-time offerings. "A lot has changed in retail and continues to change rapidly, especially the shopping experience," Tanco said. "This lab store is customer-focused and will explore new ideas that weren't even on the retail radar a few months ago."The new 7-Eleven lab store is also providing local jobs, and the company is looking for outgoing, customer-service-oriented employees for this innovative new retail-restaurant concept.

    1. I'd say that "dump" in the CS sense, both as noun and verb, is merely another application of its preexisting meanings even without the vulgar one, particularly the ones related to unloading/releasing contents. (For example, "dump truck".)
    2. For some geeky reason, the computer programming world has long maintained a tradition of using words in new ways, with a studied obliviousness to their prior, rude meanings: for example, 'dump'. 'Falsey' is merely another word in this long, and quite useful, tradition.
    1. This paper explores how the Internet of Things and blockchain technology can benefit shared economy applications. The focus of this research is understanding how blockchain can be exploited to create decentralised, shared economy applications that allow people to monetise, securely, their things to create more wealth. Shared economy applications such as Airbnb and Uber are well-known applications, but there are many other opportunities to share in the digital economy. With the recent interest in the Internet of Things and blockchain, the opportunity exists to create a myriad of sharing applications, e.g. peer-to-peer automatic payment mechanisms, foreign exchange platforms, digital rights management and cultural heritage to name but a few

      This article sheds light into shared economy, have highlighted just the abstract, but this entire article is so interesting and the application it talks about is great, like how can airbnb or uber use blockchain to protect it's clients privacy. Must read

    1. Try to avoid mucking with native prototypes, including Array.prototype, if you don't know who will be consuming your code (3rd parties, coworkers, yourself at a later date, etc.). There are ways to safely extend prototypes (but not in all browsers) and there are ways to safely consume objects created from extended prototypes, but a better rule of thumb is to follow the Principle of Least Surprise and avoid these practices altogether.
