>I think we could save a lot of space on these devices if we all just agree that power buttons are irrelevant.

Doubtful - though I agree with the overall premise.

However, my new dell studio machine has no eject button on the CD and it drives me nuts to have to open windows explorer, scroll to that drive, right-click eject in order to get a disc out. (windows 7, required for work, has a view for explorer that makes this process very clunky)

I also HATE having to fully boot a machine to get a disc out.

However - WRT to the post; I am planning on POE++ (60 watt POE) for all future gadgets, in fact - I am designing a facility with this in mind. We will have 15,000+ POE capable ports in the new facility, roughly half of them will be 60-watt POE.

I have yet to see these devices to market, but when we open in 2015, the expectation is there.

Power buttons are good for hard resets, but I am more interested in eliminating the power CORD. I would like my laptop to be POE chargeable.

I think a focus on the convergence of the technology and utility infrastructure - at least in how we think about the two - is better than thinking about the button on the device.

I have an external HDD that is always off/asleep unless it senses USB connectivity to the machine - it has no power button. I prefer these types of enclosures.
"but US labor law says assets created by employees using their employer's resources and time are owned by their employer."

True - but trademark is not automatic like copyright, so it's a moot point.
I have the same experience. SSD's are really great when you have to access many small files. The absence of seek times speeds up some things enormously, and if you're a developer, you'll see a boost in compiling and version control jobs.
Whoa I am about to save you so much time!

You totally can view the response, just go to the 'Resources' tab, choose 'XHR' from the top bar (or not, but it's easier). Now cause a request. You'll see it pop up in the list on the left and you can click it to see headers/params and the response.
You have not detailed your usecase/OS, but do consider Amazon S3 http://bit.ly/fM7pm5.

Dropbox storage itself is hosted on S3.
Credit card storage practices are dictated by the PCI standards - and they don't require that level of encryption.
In Benson and Flook, the claimed inventions were on algorithms and NOT tied to a machine.

In Diehr, the inventor claimed "algorithm + machine" where machine was a computer. The Court looks at a computer as an infinitely configurable machine, with each new software algorithm creating a new invention.

That is the distinction that the courts make between Benson/Flook and Diehr, which has allowed "software" patents to exist.
Why you see this as wrong?
I love Groklaw 99% of the time, and this is one case where the article doesn't make any sense to me. Sure, at the most abstract level, software is math and math is speech. But "First Amendment issues resulting from exclusive rights granted to the exercise of mathematical speech"???

The fact that running a piece of software is predictable (the same program runs the same way with the same inputs), is not a strong argument. A machine (with physical gears) will perform the same function when run in the exact same conditions. Just because one is an analog machine and one is a digital machine doesn't change the concept of invention: making something new from existing parts.
Talk about data telling a story.

Have you ever entered one of those passwords with a playstation controller?
One thing I think is really interesting is that in the App Store categories Weather is a top level category, right next to Music, News, Education and so on.

I personally wonder if not the only thing that drives the weather-app market on iOS is Apple listing Weather as its own category.

Heating the biosphere by using a large cloud of orbital mirrors and inducing runaway greenhouse might accomplish your goal of 100% containment and sterilization, but if a few mites and microorganisms escape, that's close enough for me.
> Though I may have missed somewhere where he addresses it?

He did allow Hacker Newspaper to do so, they asked him explicitly.
You can build your own keyword-argument passing style, exception handling, standard library, and OOP system with assembly as well. Most of would rather start with a language that got these features right in the first place, rather than defending languages that didn't.
For a consumer-facing web startup traffic numbers are a decent metric of progress, and can be externally verifiable (e.g. Quantcast).
> Texas had peak electrical production capacity of 37,600MW for it's population of 29M

Texas delivered a peak of over 60GW last night, before an unprecedented falloff in generating capacity due to weather and grid conditions.
Maciej thinks touch and mouse are different enough that a common API across the two doesn't make sense, and that devices primarily support one or the other (e.g. he believes the touchscreen on a Pixel and the trackpad on a Surface are just rarely-used gimmicks). He also throws a punch to the effect of "if MS doesn't value compatibility enough to use what we already shipped, why should we try to be compatible with them?"

Mutation is only one of several mechanisms of evolution, though.
so why do we put ice in whiskey? When just directly chilling the whiskey produces a much more desirable effect?
These seem to be all over hacker news now, but this is the nicest I've seen. The option to customize the theme of the loader is cool.
Note that Jan's call to action is not a 20th century one. This "revolution" has nothing to do with bloodshed in the streets and ideological hardlining(the twin failures of most revolutionary movements), and a lot to do with gradual engineering of social structures to create the "checks and balances" we so often ask for.
Wyden & Udall are constrained by their roles within the system; they have both been trying to encourage people to ask the right questions, but they are not going to break the laws they are sworn to uphold.

What we need is an independent congressional commission with the power to unilaterally declassify information that is not directly related to ongoing operations ( i.e. anything naming specific operatives or live intelligence about events now in the field would be exempt. But descriptions of scope, and summary reports of the outcomes of programs would be allowed. ) so that the American public can get an idea of what is being done in it's name.

This commission to include in it's scope psychological warfare operations and propaganda directed at American audiences. And a full investigation of any information sharing regarding American citizens with other agencies of the Executive branch.

We need this now. These stains on our nations honor can only be cleaned by sunlight.
I don't doubt that Yahoo has a shit load of traffic still, but unless Alexa/Quantcast/ComScore/Compete/Nielsen or any of these other so-called 'web traffic measurement services' have direct access to Yahoo and Google's traffic data (they don't), I'd take these all with a grain of salt. These services have never been accurate.

What about project orion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_%28nuclear_propu...

I think exploding nuclear bombs as a propellant qualifies as "violent explosives". Then again it was the 50's and those guys loved nuclear things.
Are you running dig against your recursor or directly against Authoritative server?

Oh. You said you are running nslookup. Most likely you are running it against a recursive server in which case ANY gives you what is in cache. So not what you want.
If it is a laptop of consequence (even if not classified), hopefully it had security and tracking capabilities that can be activated.

That info would probably be helpful for law enforcement and prosecutors.

This all assumes that congress, the DNC, or whoever owns the laptop has upped their personal computer op-sec significantly since the DNC hacks of 2016.
My fear is that after the big for profit journals are smashed, they will be replaced by ideologues working for pennies because of the influence they get to wield. A few billions is a small price to pay imo.
The minimal Tesla M3/Y interior is one of the highlights to me. But the only way it works is the integration of software and tech with regular OTA updates.

Other car interiors from Kia or Toyota seem far too busy. I know it is a matter of taste, but the minimalism is appealing. The Ford Mach-E or VW ID take on the EV cockpit is fine too, but feels much less futuristic.

I think the Tesla aesthetic is driving other automakers to improve the in car experience and incorporate more intuitive software and screens.
Weight of what it can carry might be an important factor.
Your information is a little out of date.

Panasonic will now manufacture TSLA designed batteries, but TSLA will also be contracting other firms and build manufacturing facilities itself.

Thanks!! Just sent you a request on LinkedIn and sent you an email.
Hillary Clinton conceded the day after the election. At no time did any Democrat claim she had actually won the election in a landslide, or that it was a stolen, fraudulent election.

Donald Trump still has not conceded. On Wednesday he was spouting lies about a fraudulent election, a stolen election, and to fight. As he has for two months. And this lie is repeated by more than 140 Republicans, 2/3rds of the caucus, in the House of Representatives. Along with 7 Republican Senators. On the record.

These are not the same two things at all. You know that. And yet you choose to replicate a lie and make a ridiculous claim of hypocrisy. And I think it makes you a coward and a person of bad character, and I also think you know that too. The only question is whether it shames you.
The link you gave is about Telecommuters working out of NY but live in FL. This is a pretty small group (no source). It's the retirees and pensioners that get the great deal..
Math is certainly required to understand the theory and to synthesize experimental observations into a working model, but I wouldn't put it at more than 50-60%. Most of the math is fairly basic relatively speaking, even at the highest levels of physics.
How is that different from what you described you doing? Are you not going there, and working for a couple hours, and probably not constantly purchasing large amounts of food or drink?

You seem to have a righteous indignation about people doing what you've described yourself as doing.
I totally agree. You would however need to somehow authenticate that you own foo.bar.example.com (code in email, host something under foo.bar.example.com, a TXT record, etc.).
Stands for "Urchin Tracker Module". E.gs include utm_medium, utm_campaign etc These are query params marketers include in URLs to keep track of which campaigns visitors come from. Most analytics platforms automatically capture these parameters so that they can be analyzed later.
Or you could take your pageviews somewhere that doesn't put up a pay wall.

If your protesting paywalls, that's the better choice.
Another part of what makes debugging painful for a lot of people working in big enterprise ("small cog in a big machine") stems from bad management.

Bad management -> bad design decision and poor resource allocation -> blame those lower on the org chart than you -> pressure to "just get this fixed and out the door" -> high levels of technical debt and programmer "burn-out"
There are a lot of good ones, but my favorite is still Erin McKean's talk about dictionaries:

I have used both http://www.sharefile.com and http://www.leapfile.com for this exact purpose.

I liked ShareFile better (UI), but both of them worked as advertised and would be ideal for your described scenario.
I remember reading that in the late 1950's the FDA limited the amount of nitrites in meat. And also required adding ascorbic acid. The idea is that when you cook meat treated with nitrites the ascorbic acid destroys the nitrite before they have a chance to form nitrosamines.

Might be that nitrites in uncooked vegies is fine.
Definitely. Also my example was fairly simplistic.

However, to my knowledge, neither of "accessory to murder" and "criminal organization" have been applied to the manufacturer of a legal-to-own object.

This comment is meant to make an analogy between the manufacturer of a legal-to-own object and the publishers of an ML algorithm.
If "web apps are still inferior in every respect," why do we find ourselves using web apps more and more and desktop apps less and less? Should I expect to download the next gen of great applications from a cool shareware site like in the good old days of a decade or two ago?
Web apps have won the desktop, at least for now. It's what people want, and it's what people are getting, mostly for the reasons cited above. Mobile, now that's a more interesting story.
Why do you believe they didn't fry a few retinas? They could've used animals for experimentation - I'm sure a lot of rats and monkeys gave their lives for the goal...
You don't need to be good, you just need to be at one of the high paying companies. FAANG and some startups will pay these salaries across the board. Some lesser paying companies will compete on occasion but generally there's a big gap between top paying and not.
Saying "Fuchsia OS is future" in your post is "Hard to Believe".

One simple line: Android is here for a long-long-long time until Oracle wins a lawsuit against Google.

The developer community base is extremely large and any OS is famous because of its community of developers.
>It's also why their compensation is mostly in stock. They know you won't last to collect your RSUs.

Not only that, the stock doesn't follow a typical vesting period like "4 years, with a one year cliff" but instead is HEAVILY weighted to later years, so that at the end of year one you barely get any of it percentage-wise.
There was a sensibility for enlightened self-interest that Trump does not understand. Entities like the UN or WTO subjected the US to certain rules, but also subjected everyone else to those same rules. For example, the US gave up the freedom to impose tariffs whenever it likes, but in doing so, ensured that its own companies would have unfettered access to foreign markets. Trump's strategy appears to be to tear down all multilateral institutions, and to bully each country one-by-one into accepting what he wants.
I normally use nedb for that, works great. I'm sure there's probably something similar for whatever other platform you might be using as well
Typical regulations include:

1) Franchising, especially if you want to offer TV service (which is the money-maker). The city has to approve your overall deployment plan. As part of that deployment plan, you will usually need to agree to:

A) Build-out requirements. Cross-subsidies for poor neighborhoods are baked-into the process in almost every city. You have to build out to every neighborhood in the city above a minimum density.

B) Franchising fee. Usually a % of revenues.

C) Contributions for public services. The municipality will usually require you to spend (a few to tens of millions) per year on things like providing free fiber to government buildings, or contributing to local public TV programming, etc.

2) Permitting. You need a wide variety of permits for: A) laying cable; B) stringing cable on utility poles; C) tapping into the grid to power fiber cabinets; etc.

3) Negotiating rights of way.

4) Miscellaneous regulations: environmental permits, etc.

There are also the broader political dynamics. In NYC, de Blasio has turned FiOS deployment into a social justice issue: http://www.speedmatters.org/blog/archive/new-york-mayor-bill... ("If you can’t afford to feed your family by the end of the month, you can't afford $75 a month for the broadband service. And that's what we have to fix.")

Google's MO is to say "fuck you" to all that. They only agree to build Fiber on the condition that the municipality gets rid of build-out requirements, fast-tracks permitting, etc. Second and third-tier southern and western cities are willing to play along, because they see fiber as a competitive advantage. Cities like San Francisco and New York are not, because demand to live and work in those cities is so high to begin with.
Everything on this guy's blog is fantastic. I love the post on neural network manifolds (http://colah.github.io/posts/2014-03-NN-Manifolds-Topology/).
Curiously in Germany Diesel is actually cheaper than regular gas at the gas station. This is because it's taxed differently. So a Diesel car saves Germans money two times (less fuel consumption and less price per tank) as compared to a gas engine car, which is why they are extremely popular over here.

That said, on an absolute level in Germany Diesel is still about 1.7x more expensive than Diesel in the US and about 2x more expensive than gas in the US.
Their selling point isn't profit, it's convenience. The average worker just wants to check a box on his 401(k) form and be done with it. Mutual funds fill that niche.
Good point, I thought I'd put it in. Seems my editing time has passed too, sorry!
I just read some of your old comments, and I understand why you want to do this.
I've never attempted this myself, but you might want to google around for ways to underclock your MBP to keep it cool. I'm guessing it's either impossible due to firmware restrictions, or there are tools out there that make it crazy simple.
The other big gotcha is kings cannot have a direct line of sight to each other. Unfortunately, this is how I inadvertently lost a game of western Chess because I had accidentally ported over this rule in my head.
I'd say no. I liked it, but it doesn't really belong here. I think photo galleries fall under the "shallow interest" clause.
Logo is what little kids make up for themselves when nobody tells them anything different.
Extending a quote by commentator Cory, under normal circumstances "[...] volumes that operate with 20 GB or less of modified data since their most recent Amazon EBS snapshot can expect an annual failure rate (AFR) of between 0.1% – 0.5%, where failure refers to a complete loss of the volume." (http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/).
It's a wasteful way to support the project. 6CDs + jewel cases + packaging + shipping. It's just not the way software is distributed anymore. Why not have a recommended donation? Or encourage people to buy another item that actually needs to be shipped? My beef is that they are encouraging users to do something arcane, unnecessary and wasteful when there's a better way. Download and burn it yourself (or put it on an external harddrive).
Rosa Parks didn't think she was doing anything wrong either. Why should she have to make a choice?
The only reason you are making this comment is because you believe drugs (and drug dealing) should be illegal.

Or is it different because fast forward to today, looking back those laws were obviously wrong?
Unless there are third party C extensions involved.
As someone who feels he has been really held back because of his fear of networking I think you have the order wrong:

1.??? 2. Network 3. Profit

Where 1. could be all sorts of things - come up with amazing business idea, write a book, start a new job, send your child to school (annoyingly, if you get on well with other parents at school, you child is more likely to be invited to birthday parties etc...), need some help decorating your house, etc..
I think you're completely wrong here. My 7th grade cousin is on it every minute of every day (battery-permitting). So are all of his friends.

I don't think you're the target audience (but I don't know how old you are, sorry!). Truth is, pre/young teens are all over Snapchat and Instagram, and I don't really see an end in sight.
How do they know you are using a proxy?
Jeff Atwood's blog post centers around a paper that was circulated informally ("The Camel Has Two Humps"), but never published in any journal. It has been retracted by its author, who is vigorously trying to undo the harm he believes it has caused.

"Nothing about basic income requires that everyone's total income be identical."

Basic income will need to come from somewhere. As these costs increase, the people actually earning above and beyond the basic income will be have their income redistributed in the form of high taxes and depending on how high these costs increase over time, will reach a point where the reward != effort. I predict that with a system like this, the costs (and taxes associated) will most definitely reach this point.

Human nature is a bitch. Why would I even bother putting the effort into working when I can get almost the same amount of money back from the government, for free? If enough people think the same way, there won't be enough to fund the system anymore. The government will then need to assign jobs to people to keep the system going.

A Utopia where nobody needs to work sounds great, until you need to figure out how to divide all of the resources.

Most of the great technologies and innovations we see today are a result of a great risk->reward structure. Any system that doesn't foster this doesn't see this sort of innovation.
The question is how to tell the difference ahead of time - when is a heuristic approach going to lead to a "good enough" answer versus a "counterintuitively damaging" answer. It would suck if the only way to know for sure is to avoid shortcut reasoning in all cases.
Startpage is now owned by System1. It’s an Adtech company. I personally know some people who work/worked there and they do not recommend using Startpage for privacy reasons anymore.
Jordan Peterson has some great lectures and interviews on establishing meaning. His main thesis is that responsibility gives life meaning, but listening closely reveals something more nuanced and amorphous than mere responsibility. https://youtu.be/AYNzafKkLpU
I read it as a (somewhat pretentious) application of this definition of grammar: "the principles or rules of an art, science, or technique", where the technique is 'framing'. Whether there's any actual meat here about principles of rules is another question.
PPP makes no sense when it comes to comparing data usage between countries. Data is not based on same supply/demand characteristics as physical goods. It is quite literally arbitrary. Much like most software you buy/subscribe to. Ever bought a digital product at 90% discount during Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Why don't you find physical products with 90% discounts (unless it is a clearance sale)? Because you can't discount cost involved in acquiring raw materials and labour cost. Digital products on the other hand can be duplicated infinite times with zero additional cost. So is anything connected to it (which includes data, storage and processing). Sure there is some cost involved. But at scale that cost becomes negligible. You can't produce physical products at scale without the cost also scaling proportionally.

Even in India, before Jio made its entry, data was extremely expensive. Horrible speeds, very low data limits and no competitive pricing (you can say that it was a data cartel of sorts). Jio disrupted the entire sector. All ISPs reduced prices overnight. How could they do it? Wouldn't it hit their bottom line? Nope! They never went into loss in the first place. They charged exorbitant rates because they could. Not because there was some basis for it. That monopoly was disrupted. That is all there is to it.

And with a billion+ people in the country, ISPs will never go under loss for selling data for few cents - a dollar. Rather, they are probably making more than they ever did. Jio showed them the way to price correctly.
