I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim this the year 2018. Except in Saipan and Guam. Maybe, probably, in Saipan and Guam, I think they have to wait a little. And maybe Little Rocket Man will send them a special firework. He's very foolish if he does. Very foolish. Because I will rain down fire & fury on him like nobody's business. Like nothing this world has ever seen. And it's seen a lot, hasn't it? Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they're going to be a joke. People will laugh about them after I do what I'm going to do to North Korea.

It's going to be a fantastic year, folks. 2016 was a good year. You elected me, overwhelmingly. 2017 was better. Because I started Making America Great Again. But 2018 is going to be amazing! We're starting to get our Supreme Court in shape, we have the tremendous Neil Gorsuch in there, we passed our beautiful Tax Cut, it's going to be a full year of Making America Great. Starting now. Merry Christmas! Maybe, probably, I'm the first guy to wish you a Merry Christmas for 2018. Which is sad. We don't say MERRY CHRISTMAS enough, folks. Not nearly enough. There's a war on Christmas, it's very sad. Wish somebody Merry Christmas today. And every day. And tell them to thank me. They should be thanking me. For signing the most massive Tax Cut this world has ever seen. So every day is like Christmas. I'm giving you a big gift every day, a big Tax Cut. Which is making our economy EXPLODE! And, folks, you should thank our guys in Congress, they worked on that for years. For years. Not the Dems, where were the Dems? Where were Chuck & Nancy? Empty seats, folks! No ideas, they do nothing but obstruct. And they'd love to raise taxes. DISGRACEFUL! No thanks to them, this is going to be the best year ever. Very money! 🍾 🎉 💰

Summary:

Pressing "cancel" when prompted to log in to iTunes Store must be done repeatedly.

Steps to Reproduce:

Change your Apple ID password then use your iPhone for a while. Eventually you will be prompted to log in to iTunes Store.

Tap "Cancel".

The dialog disappears briefly then immediately reappears.

Sometimes tapping "Cancel" a second time causes the dialog to disappear for just a few minutes but it will inevitably reappear, just about always in pairs.

Expected Results:

iTunes Store login prompt will never reappear after I tap cancel just once.

Actual Results:

The login prompt doesn't believe that "No Means No" and perpetually bothers me when I'm trying to use my device.

Version/Build:

iOS version 10.0.1 (14A03)

I am not a physicist, but I'll throw this one out there because:
1. It seems fairly reasonable, maybe if anything it's too obvious (I'm bad at telling).
2. I think physicists would agree (I would be biased :D).
3. It might be interesting to think about. If not it's short.
4. I've got nowhere else to put it/it didn't really fit with a comment I wrote :D

I'll apologize in advance for missing replies to replies and any discussions. I get bogged down on a daily basis and then time evaporates and later I often discover that I need to think more about what people say and I get bogged down again and suddenly it's months or maybe even years... (anyone who is "young" this is how cruel it is to become "old" although I'm not ancient: live, do, and think, as much as you can while time seems infinite!).

Anyway here it is:
Science is not dogma, science is imperfection striving to be less imperfect. That something is good enough for practical application including awesomely impressive feats like detecting gravitational waves —a feat which was considered impossible/unachievable by Einstein— does not truly give any qualitative or relative measure of how correct the current science is compared to better future science. What we can surmise is that there are at least some large questions left unsolved (grand unified theory stuff) and those indicate that there will be a future paradigmatic shift in physics that is at least on the scale of the one from Newtonian to "Einsteinian".

I am not a fan of the traditional American policy when it comes to ultimate defense and support of Israel. Can someone who agrees with it please detail why it is beneficial to the US? Just went through my uncle and inlaws argue about this for several hours and as a libertarian I don't see why I would want my (and my kids) blood and treasure spilled over a foreign nation, in this case Israel. Not looking for "palestine/arabs/muslims literally hitler" or "israel supporters are evil" I just want reasoned points for our support (or lack of support) for either side.

UPDATE: TheMightyBuzzard clarified that I did not need all that I was seeking here. Many thanks to those who read/replied. And, it looks like it unearthed a bug in our UTF-8 implementation!

I started down the path of writing tests for one of the bugs that was fixed in the upcoming rehash release. Specifically WRT how SoylentNews handles Ordered List (OL) and Unordered List (UL) elements, and while I was at it, I was going to toss in Definition List (DL) elements, too. I'd have these defined with various attributes all at the top level, and then with nested versions of these. It's a relatively straightforward (though time-consuming) exercise.

A quick stab at getting started on this for UL elements can be found in this comment on our dev server instance.

Then I realized "Am I the very first person who has wanted to do this?" I'd think that any HTML-consuming application would already have gone down this path. FireFox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc.

A quick search has failed to produce what I am looking for. It seems that if I were to download the development version of FireFox, that there is a set of automated tests that I might be able to leverage, but that would be a huge hit on my limited bandwidth cap, so I'm holding off on that approach -- I'd like to think that I should be able to just download the test cases themselves.

So, I ask my fellow Soylentils: Where can I find an exhaustive set of tests of UL, OL, LI, (and, ideally, DL, DT, DD) elements?

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including to my many, many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. U.N. General Assembly, I'm talking about you. Love! 💖 And thank you to a VERY, VERY SPECIAL man, Jimmy Morales, 🇬🇹 for moving his embassy to Jerusalem. Tremendous! ✡

Just looking for good shows to watch that are a little different and off the scope:

My wife found us a good british comedy called 'Man Down' that turned out to be 'brill', funny as hell.

I've been actually enjoying ST Discovery (although, definitely not canon), Superstore, ...

Anyone have a must watch show i may have missed? I don't care: throw whatever my way.

From the I-must-remember-to-start-a-major-war-and-mass-genocide dept.

Here's an interesting thought: who will be remembered 1000 years from now?

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20171220-how-to-be-remembered-in-1000-years/

I'd say Adolf Hitler, for one. But not Donald Trump or Hillary.
Churchill (Adolf's arch enemy)? Maybe by the British, but.....

Elon Musk?
Carrot Top?

Kim Kardashian for frell's sake???

WE ARE MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Delivering HISTORIC TAX RELIEF for the American people with the magnificent #TaxCutsandJobsAct. 💸

But a moderator, or a small group of moderators, hates it. And administrators are letting mod-bombs stand. Letting another very unfair Spam mod stand. To silence my message. I'm sure they have passion for our great country. But they're being HATERS & LOSERS. They could become WINNERS like me. But they want to silence my terrific message instead. To make it so I can only tweet once a day, like they did to fakefuck39. Whose tweets start out with a very low Score. Making them hard to see. Hard to read. Very sad!

Let me tell you, this is a great, and VERY SPECIAL, moment for our great Country. The RIGHT TIME. Time to take care of our people, to rebuild our nation, and to fight for our great American workers. It's a whole different attitude, whole different way. We can all come together and be proud! We will all succeed & grow together as ONE TEAM, ONE PEOPLE, ONE FAMILY. With one leader. I made a promise to the American people: eventually, we will get something done. And WE GOT SOMETHING DONE, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. Our team will go onto many more VICTORIES! Because President Obama did such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations! pic.twitter.com/lLgATrCh5o pic.twitter.com/HY353gXV0R

Every Vote Counts!

RICHMOND, Va. -- Among the holiday hustle and bustle of Carytown, Virginia voters react to what some might call a "Christmas Miracle" for Democrats in the Commonwealth.

"That's sort of amazing," voter Scott Williams said.

"That's pretty amazing," voter Ariel Furler said.

In a stunning turn of events, Democrat Shelly Simonds gained eleven votes in a recount to beat the Republican incumbent in the 94th District by just one vote.

The final tally: 11608 votes to 11607 votes.

UPDATE: Apparently it's a tie now. By state law, the winner of the tie will be determined "by lot."
