Before going full dystopia could we perhaps try a pilot project with tranq darts?

This is insane and shouldn't even be up for debate. Tbh I don't see how it's any different than drone strikes though. Just feels wrong and when something feels wrong...

Much love. Happy thanksgiving <3

on CME at least it's a weighted average:

"Bitstamp, GDAX, itBit and Kraken are the constituent exchanges that currently contribute the pricing data for calculating the BRR." http://www.cmegroup.com/media-room/press-releases/2017/10/31...

here's one off the top of my head.

So he's a bad guy because a subsidiary wanted solar owners to pay fair costs for grid access? Does anyone even think he's aware of this decision?

i've seen a system in mysql do "insert on duplicate key update" for ages, so this is that same pattern?

Yeah, it is the same as INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, and similar to REPLACE in MySQL. Exciting to see it in Postgres!

I think the way MySQL works in doing "INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" is to delete the old row and insert a new row if there's an auto incremental column (mostly it's ID column). Being curious if Postgres works the same way in this regard.

No, that's how REPLACE works -- which is a complete pain to be honest! INSERT ... UPDATE works the way you'd hope it would, and keeps the auto inc columns correct.

No, the auto increment columns are maintained as is.

And Apple have always been masters in selling polished, nicely packages shit as the most advanced technology ever conceived.

With respect, is there evidence to support your claim?

My direct experience is that I have received value far in excess of what I have had to pay for the Apple products and services I have purchased over the years.

For example, I'm typing this reply on my PowerBook, which I use all day, every day in my work. I also have my iPhone with me constantly, and use it heavily.

Finally, the Apple brand was said to be worth about $104.7B vs. $62.8B for Microsoft in 2014. [1]

So, I am not saying you are wrong, only that I think some evidence would be helpful in making your case.

OT, but you're still using a Powerbook? That's pretty impressive. Which generation\year was it? I'm guessing you've had to swap out batteries and upgrade hard drive - have you had to modify anything else?

He meant MacBook Pro.

That said, I still have an iBook G4 from 2004 in perfect operation for mail/web/music (though one button is missing).

Sorry, my mistake. It's a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. 16GB DDR and 512GB SSD.

any professional cannot allow/afford/stomach the idea of even having their device boot if stolen.

something like this written as a hardware/bios/whatever malware is more interesting

Honey pot user or operating system? A major drawback to prey is that it only works when the thief logs into the account.
