We don't have unlimited capacity for everyone who wants to make a good living doing $X to do be satisfied. They can hustle for a low-paying opportunity or they can just be told "no" by a central planner, hiring hall union, credentialing admissions process, etc.

That may solve an observer's concern about profit/exploitation, but it leaves the worker with strictly fewer options.

People not getting what they want is just as bad whether or not anyone else is benefitting at the same time.
What does this engine do?
It's common for crypto trading firms to pay in crypto, mostly because they have so much of it sitting around in trading accounts.
Jitsi can support 1080p at 30fps, I'm not sure if it goes higher. However you may need to host your own as meet.jit.si has some quality restrictions (although it is pretty good looking for general use). Also note that most laptops only come with a shitty 720p webcam so unless you have a nice camera you won't see much improvement.
If Facebook exploits its software ecosystem to try and unmask users I think you'll see Apple pull the plug on any apps using those SDKs (including facebook itself) if necessary.
The puzzle has been added back again, as a bonus.
In 5 years time a widespread conclusion might be that Telegram is the Bitcoin of messaging.

Highly same-minded swarm at this size is very dangerous. The controller is using it for its own purpose. The best strategy might be waiting for the swarm loosing it's basic power supply and falling apart. But this would affect the world economy as well, especially after 2007.
It is impossible to press any of the sharing buttons while the time is highlighted. Everything else seems pretty neat!
Is anyone surprised that examples of this power being used currently and in the past includes an oil company complaining that environmental regulations hamper its profits and a tobacco company trying to prevent plain packaging?

Most democracies do not create laws which scare away multinationals. There really is absolutely no incentive for it. Even corrupt politicians don't want to scare away multinationals because the bribes from those companies are their largest source of income.

This law effectively neutralizes democracy. It's also hilarious in a macabre way to see supposedly nationalist Americans railing against Agenda 21 which is non-binding, while treaties such as TPP which allow an international tribunal which override national laws to be pushed forward by their govt.
>That makes freeing memory O(n) in the number of chunks freed

A GC can't outdo that. For everything the GC frees, it has to do some work to answer the question, "Should I free this or not?" Even if that question can magically be answered with a single CPU instruction, that's still O(n) answers in the number of chunks freed.
More than 1000 people doesn't sound like a workplace, it sounds like a Red Cross disaster shelter.
I was actually surprised by the low number as well.
The trend in most modern workspaces is to have mixed use. Generally open plan for most day-to-day work and then a variety of private areas. For example offices and cubicles that are shared.

Development is always tricky because often you need clear air to solve problems but then occasionally collaboration is required.
I want one please, I would order but the site is now down and I'm going to sleep now.
I would love to see some examples.
The point is that tablets are themselves making the market a lot bigger than it is now and that the iPad will get a disproportionately big chunk of the new pieces of pie.
That seems to be exactly what I am looking for. It worries me though, that there is no pricing information. It makes me think this is just someone else's pet project.
IPad is not a PC so this statistic by itself is useless. And yes I know they said if they add it in but still I stand by my statement and say this is useless.
Actually, one of the things that bothers me most about all of the bailouts is that many of them are not being repaid. At least not in the way that some people are intimating.

HD, for instance is actually able to "repay" via the mechanism of a somewhat hastily arranged private sector bailout by Buffet's Berkshire and Davis. The reason everyone is obliged to try to prop HD up is because, through financial instruments of truly byzantine design, HD's customers were given loans for their motorcycles which were used as backing for certain securities. I won't get into the details, but the short story is HD customers won't repay their loans. Worst part...even if they had, it is not clear that the math would have worked out, and there may have been problems in any case.

This is why Buffet cautions us to "Beware geeks bearing formulas".

I'm not saying that what the Fed did was wrong...Rome was burning...I won't second guess them.

I do think people should realize that the problems are still with us however. What has happened is simply some creative juggling of the debts. This stuff takes time to unwind carefully, and even then some party will need to lose. It's just that there is a need to find more creative, and less obvious, methods of making that loser the Government, ie... tax payer. Because, that is the only party with the requisite resources.

And that is where the interesting stuff happens, engineering the repayment of the bailout funds. Sometimes it is repaid with securities of questionable value. Sometimes with hard assets, of dubious utility. They have even done some really brilliant things, like funneling stimulus funds to some of these companies...which were then used to pay back their bailouts. Of course, it looks like these companies paid the money back with revenues from new business.

This whole thing has been fascinating to watch. Again, I think the interesting parts were not the bailouts, but HOW the bailouts were being repaid.
Everything you need to know to understand the algorithm would be covered in a mandatory "intro to theory of computation" or "intro to automata" course in a CS undergrad degree. You could start by reading the first half of a good textbook: we used the book by Hopcroft, Ullman and Motwani: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/ialc.html and I liked it a lot, but I've also heard good things about Sipser's book: http://www-math.mit.edu/~sipser/book.html

They can do an 'at-the-market' offering. Which allows them to sell XX number of shares at whatever price and whenever they choose to. This is the approach that Tesla took.

Also, execs can start cashing in themselves.
Just curious, why Intel over AMD? AMD has been dominating the CPU market lately in price for performance.
The government makes rules laying out the worst extremes: for instance, no direct incitement to violence.

Facebook makes rules for what, above and beyond that, is not allowed on Facebook.

Twitter makes rules for what, above and beyond the government's rules, is not allowed on Twitter.

This...really isn't hard.
It's not execution; in many/most states, you are allowed to defend life, health and property with deadly force. It may be getting watered down these days due to unfavorable public opinion, but a law in the books in WA is/was, iirc, that you can use deadly force to prevent a felony.
In a sentimental way, I guess so. But if Nintendo is a public company, they probably committed some kind of fiduciary wrong in not consulting their stockholders.
Not only is Trump shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater, but he’s been inviting crowds of people to theaters virtually for the sole purpose of doing so.
I think you're probably right, but it's funny because I think Intel was well known for having really exceptional organizational function in the past. They used to be paranoid about everything!
> which are not the majority of hardware sold globally.

they are a majority in individual countries thou, which is the context that consumer protection agencies usually care about.
I never went deep into formal logic, so I can misname a few things as well.

1. When it comes to the Gödel's incompleteness theorem - for non-recursive systems you may you can get without that, vide
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3359878/what-is-som...

2. In general, you can do a lot without equivalence.
For example, in set theory (ZF), you get only trivial equivalence (sets having the same elements are the same set). But you can still do a lot with "contains". A similar thing works with partially ordered sets, in which you have the "<=" operator.
it's up to whoever created it. there's good permanent storage solutions out there like arweave, but if you're just trying to grift people, imgur should be fine.
Click the cog and enable "mini Nerdle" for another (easier) challenge
> they found a file listing private keys, after gaining access to the suspect's cloud storage

That's backwards. It's how they wrapped it all up. The real trail is pretty clearly AlphaBay 2016/2017 transactions (under gov control around that timeframe), to KYC-flagged accounts at an exchange, with a web of accounts with real info linked together past there.
I wonder if it's a case where different people feel different things. I've never felt something I could call "faith", but my brother has and does. Faith doesn't seem like something that you can fake or develop. In that case, pursuing faith-based religion sounds like a bad idea for me. Maybe that's something you can develop?
I recently listened to a pretty good Econtalk with Bostrom about this subject.

> In what country would it be deemed legal and normal for people to shoot down drones? Do people take pot-shots at light aircraft? Why would people suddenly want to shhot at drones?

I don't think it would be at all routine. But I can imagine trouble-making adolescents doing that (here in the US). Probably wouldn't be make-or-break for drones. But it would be an interesting challenge for Amazon -- how can we retrieve this equipment and how can we investigate its attack/distinguish from part failures?

I'd really love to be a fly on the wall in the internal FB conversations on this one because from the outside it makes no sense.

They are either unbelievably tone deaf and about to get themselves in serious trouble which feels unlikely given the amounts of money involved or they are playing some crazy chess game. Unbelievably the first feels more likely here. You'd have to assume at an organization the size of FB there are a couple of adults in the room but maybe none with enough sway to stop this slow motion train wreck?
Amazon makes you jump through something like 5-10 app pages to cancel Prime. Almost felt like breaking up with a particularly desperate partner.

The best thing about this is you can put your gas powered generator in the bed to recharge. :)
I bought a $200 Brother laser printer a few years ago. It supports:
>LPD
>Raw Port
>IPP
>AirPrint
>Mopria
>Google Cloud Print

and, I think, a bunch of proprietary HP/Epson protocols.

The best part is the toner cartridge that comes with it lasts long enough to totally recoup the cost difference between it and a "consumer" inkjet printer
For sure.

1 - Just have a Todo(String) in your error enum while prototyping. Remove it as you clean up a prototype, and you get a nice set of compiler errors telling you everywhere that needs to change.

2 - If you're aggregating so many error types that it's unwieldy, you're probably doing to much in one place. That has all sorts of down stream issues with testability and what not. Hacking your error types to make it easier is probably not the best option.
My guess is also that Stadia didnt actually require much programming to create. It was all about having the excess compute power for GCP along with the already low latency data infrastructure for intra data center communication. Relatively cheap for Google to give it a shot
Agreed -- I saw Sundar give the keynote at Google I/O last year, and while it was obvious that he was really into the tech, it was equally obvious he had no overarching vision for any of the things he talked about, outside of a general sense of "wow, isn't this cool?"

Google really needs to ditch him and find a new CEO capable of providing some actual vision and direction, not just randomly lead them to chase various cool technologies.
This looks like a wrapper around Have I Been Pwned.
> Yes it is for the protoc generated code. It would be nice if the protobuf spec allowed for something like tags as well.

Have you seen Protobuf options [1]? They allow for a tag-like-behaviour, but are strongly typed. It's notably used by gogoproto [2] to allow specifying custom field types or names [3] when generating Go stubs.

I over post this, and am turning into a broken record, but this is my favorite of all time article about predictive ai dystopia.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/entries/78691781-c9b7...

my fear of everything being decided by algorithms that exist to please us, is us being trapped in the past and creativity being extinguished. if netflix makes shows based on what it knows will be popular, what happens to visionaries that have an idea nobody else can comprehend. risk, exploration, adventure, new, is replaced by nostalgia, familiarity, comfort.

we can debate fighting google and facebook, or we can come up with a "Human Best Practices" behavior guide for how to best consume content, and spread it. There will always be temptation, moderation is either taught or learned. If not facebook, there will be another mind drug to over indulge. Spend effort countering the concept of unlimited "picked-just-for-me feed" or "whats popular with everyone today" intake, not attacking this specific villain. We need new ways to surface and propagate novel, intelligent, thought provoking content, AND we need to teach people to resist human hedonistic urges and impulses, and offer social support and encouragement to deviate from consuming new and fresh news. Watching the news (on tv anyway) is, and shouldnt be, looked up to.

If I were making a tldr of guide v.01, it would start: "Supplant your facebook, google, and reddit intake with https://aldaily.com/ https://redef.com/ https://longform.org/ https://longreads.com/ "

and here i am now moving on to the next n.yc post.

But didn't these studies control for exercise?

But now, researchers are beginning to suspect that even if you engage in regular exercise daily, it may not be enough to counteract the effects of too much sitting during the rest of the day.
They didn't not choose it because of concerns about availability, they didn't choose it because of run-time performance concerns. I don't think you can argue that those concerns even imply anything about availability, much less have some kind of causal relationship.

SmugMug got lucky in their choice. If performance had been consistent with EBS, they would have used it and most likely gone down like so many others.
Get a good immigration lawyer, and go see more than one if possible. They can make all the difference. I can remember the end of the process it took both my parents to get green cards very many years ago when I was a kid. It was with a lawyer that dealt with the case like it was cakewalk where everyone else wouldn't even touch the case for being too complicated (I suspect it was something with prior legal non-arranged marriages and a visa overstay). After the last interview my parents and their lawyer were partying like there was no tomorrow.

As for the marriage suggestion, this may be downvoted to hell, but if that's your only option left it isn't impossible. It's a huge commitment on the part of you and the person you marry, as well as anyone associated with you both and that's usually what makes or breaks the deal. It takes so much to prove your marriage that it's incredibly difficult to fake it with someone you don't care about or know very well (and vice versa). Sometime last year I went to an interview to be an interpreter for a family friend applying for a green card, and the people trying to use marriage to get a green card were very obvious by the huge bags full of photo albums and more they were carrying around. One person I saw brought literally thousands of printed photos to flood their interviewer with, and another couple were sorting through a huge photo library on their laptop. It's no joke. (And obligatory "it's illegal" comment.)

Of course, it isn't your only option at this point. Since you say your parents are now citizens, they have options for sponsoring you especially if you are under 21. I don't know that the visa overstay and green card problem is necessarily true since you entered the country legally and there are probably ways to work around that 10 year thing, but IANAL. Like I said, a good lawyer makes a big difference. Shop around if you must. They will be better to inform you of your choices.
Have you thought about integrating/leveraging Ace (previously SkyWriter, Bespin)? http://ace.ajax.org/

This would give you the ability to let people use emacs/vim shortcuts among a lot of other not-reinventing-the-wheel kind of things (like better syntax highlighting).
Not really sure I agree with you here.
#1 They can look at all the Groupon numbers in their adwords account and figure out which ads work and place ads for only those keywords
#2 They can place their ad above Groupons and still collect that revenue (so no revenue loss there)
That, sir, is a very noble answer to an issue that doesn't deserve to be treated nobly. For most people, the snowballing effect of fees on maxed-out credit cards' interest rates + fees = impossibility, and bankruptcy is the only option. For a long time there was no cap and no limit on how much credit cards could gouge people, and that alone was the profit engine of banks. The fact that the US government made it much more difficult to declare bankruptcy (2005 or so) does not help.

I just recently shopped for a good chair as well. I've used Aeron chairs before and they're great but I really didn't like the mesh feeling.

After digging around, I have decided to go with the Steelcase Leap.
http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/seating/task/l...
I liked this because it is just as configurable as the Aeron (I'm short so these things matter a lot). I liked the fact that i can choose the fabric so it matches my home office. They have a ton of color swatches and fabric types. They have a 10 yr warranty and has good customer service so far. Its all personal preference, but make sure it fits your body. For example, can you clear at least 3 fingers between the edge of the seat and behind your knees. When I sat down on this chair, i just knew this one would be good for me.
Remember that Google first attempted to acquire the "smaller competitor" and its offer was declined. Should Google just restrict itself not to compete in any space where there is a "smaller competitor"?
Your description of ketosis is pretty lacking. You never completely stop using glucose as a fuel source. In fact, your brain always has a requirement to get about 30% of its energy from glucose and it takes up to 40 days to get to that point.

You might be wondering how its possible to use glucose as fuel when you aren't eating any glucose, if so, look up Gluconeogenesis.
I don't think that's the best design for a store page.
It doesn't matter if something is popular, but this case heavily revolves around Trade Dress and consumer confusion. If Xerox's OS never became a commercial product those issues are moot.

Outside of this article I'm not sure if this isn't more of a trademark and IP suit then pure patent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_dress
No, but it tends to be marketed by the same people who made it. Much like Bob the discount furniture guy[0].

The case of Bob is particularly interesting to me. Back in the early nineties Bob commissioned a slick marketing campaign with trendy music and hip radio personalities. I surmise it didn't drive sales too well because it lasted for only a few months before he dropped it and appeared in his own commercials, in trademark polo shirt and jeans with his loud annoying voice. The authenticity, real or perceived, helped turn Bob's from a Connecticut business with a single location in Newington into a force to be reckoned with throughout New England.

One tip for pricing, make bigger plans cheaper per unit.. so let's say a unit is a project, your base 1 unit price is $4.90 (with a minimum of 10 units)
so your 20 unit price should let you pay less per unit than $4.90, ie. it should be less than $98.
Whatever you set it to (say $80) means your new per unit price is $80/20units = $4. so for your 30 unit price, it should be less than 30 * $4 = 120..

You need to provide an incentive to move to the next pricing level, and the best way to do that is to make the higher levels have more relative value than the lower ones. You work out the "value" by working out your per unit price.
How often have I crashed a whole system while testing software on it? Not very often, but it really sucks when it happens.

But it's quite common that I want to see how some server code runs on the exact same kernel as will be used in production. This is a pain if that kernel is also running your IDE.
Sir Marc,
Great to see compV is launched. Congrats on that feat.
Love the design. I'm also feeling Huey.

My 2 cents:
A video demo would do wonders. You can show persons exactly what Compversions does.

I agree with charging for it, up front. But if that's the case, show people what they are paying for(video).

The index/imdex seemed a tad bit confusing, im sure there's a better way to handle it.

Edit: Spelling
Whatever for? Mark's a good guy, but I have no idea what the app is or whether it's going to interest me.
Personally I switched from Linux back to Windows 7, but continue to do all of my software development in Linux (Ubuntu). I have VirtualBox installed in Windows 7 running a Ubuntu Guest.

There were 2 pain points, setting up the resolution correctly in the Ubuntu guest (you need to use VirtualBox guest additions, but it is not bulletproof) and getting the guest OS an IP address on my network other than the host machines so I could run Redmine & a development server on it.

But at the end of the day, I can drag my mouse from one screen and be in Linux running all the goodies for software development to the other screen with Chrome and everything I want on Windows.

If I had a Macbook Pro, I'd do the same with Mac OS X and Linux.

It just ended my Windows vs Linux angst. And it is far easier running Ubuntu as the guest on top of Windows than vice-versa.
Possibly closer to 20%. http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/impact-of-hu...

But the point still stands: implying "India has to get its house in order, but America's solved enough problems to be morally justified pursuing the deeper mysteries of the universe" is a pretty arbitrary drawing of a line in the sand.
