IANAL, but “evade law enforcement” seems inaccurate.
> HKMAP helps residents comply with the wishes of law enforcement (who communicate their demands by colored flags quickly raised in the dark).
> …[the app] doesn't contravene any Hong Kong law that I am aware of. This app helps answer questions like "will I get shot with a bean bag round if I come out of this MTR station, because the police raised a colored flag I can't see".

Can you expand on your Google comment re. RCS? All I’ve seen recently is that they’re taking the reins from the carriers (at least outside of the US) to speed-up rollout.
Arguably, Apple already offers a version of a “pre-load” button in Safari (on iOS and macOS), with the setting to “Automatically save Reading List articles for offline reading”. (Not on by default, but the user sees a prompt to turn it on the first time they add an article to the Reading List.)
Ideally, you could add an article to the Reading List on your computer, and then view it later on your phone that downloaded it in the background when it still had network access.
In practice, my quick testing results just now were mixed: Safari kept saying that a Medium article wasn’t available offline, a Quartz article only loaded the header (with what looked like a fully-opaque white overlay covering the content itself), but a Daring Fireball post (i.e., without any JavaScript trickery) loaded just fine.
I realize that you’re referring to traditionally-typed text, but Monotype was recently commissioned to design a typeface for the illustrator of Roald Dahl’s books, and they did indeed include alternates for each letter (along with variations in kerning):
>…He selected four subtly different alternates for each character that, combined, would make the text look random enough to look authentic while keeping the glyph set manageable
Ugh. I’m disappointed that they’re referring to storage capacity as “memory capacity”, perpetuating the pervasive confusion amongst non-technical users.
One of his key points: As a developer, you’ll quickly realize that the scope of these changes will make your update to Retina graphics look like a walk in the park.
Craig is also currently working on a book “that helps you understand color in laymen’s terms, use color management with step-by-step instructions for popular apps like Photoshop, and guides you with the work necessary to create great looking web and native apps.”
One caveat to your point: in that comment, the Picturelife CEO was apparently criticizing Loom for shutting down their service after being acquired by Dropbox. In this case, it sounds like Streamnation really intends to keep running (and improve) the existing Picturelife service. [1]
From the article: Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck complained in a letter to Google's chief executive on Dec. 30 that Waze could be "misused by those with criminal intent to endanger police officers and the community."
Note: The two donut charts for "Race and Ethnicity" are visually misleading. The color assigned to each race or ethnicity is not consistent between the two charts, so a visual comparison of the two is much less useful. ("White" is represented by blue on both charts, but green is "Black" on the overall chart and "Asian" on the Managers chart.)
Thank you for the confirmation — I have had the same bug with the alarm sound several times now. What I found is that I could stop it only by opening the Clock app, and selecting a new alarm sound (e.g., by editing an alarm), triggering it to play that sound instead, which I could then easily stop.
I’m assuming that the service cost doesn't come primarily from storage, but rather from bandwidth usage, and the increase in hardware requirements for handling a larger number of torrents.
...he contacted Hotmail support this morning to try to get help. Ironically, he asked them to contact him at his alternate email address, which is Gmail.
Somewhat related, on a more micro level: some have suggested a trend in which news about Anne Hathaway drives up the price Berkeshire Hathaway’s stock.
As the intelligence of our technology grows, I find it amusing to consider these less-logical patterns in the algorithms (indirectly) responsible for so much of our economy.
Definitely worth checking out. Unfortunately, HTML5 YouTube players seem to start playing automatically, so I can’t just open links to YouTube videos in background tabs.
I look forward to a setting (or simply changing the default for non-active windows) to disable autoplay.
