Not surprising, as iOS is their major growth industry and Blackberry is the entrenched (and soon to be former courtesy of Android/iOS) player in that market.

On the Mac side of things, they're cutting back on enterprise sales (witness the death of the Xserve) and pushing most of the contact information for smaller customers to the retail business people.
I went through my only filing cabinet the other weekend and realized I had no reason for holding onto 99% of the crap that was in there. I threw it all away, and I have one small file folder with stuff in it, and most of it sentimental. Good riddance.
$60 at the top of the bubble; it was already in decline when he took over; surely not (entirely) his fault. On the other hand, $35 in 2000 dollars is $47 today, so that’s a significant inflation-adjusted loss of value. On the other other hand, they paid out $7.69 in dividends during that time, which is a reasonable portion of what is lost to inflation.

Where am I going with this? Oh yeah, share price is not a great metric for company or CEO performance, and when its used people rarely evaluate all the factors correctly.
I think the dead horse is flogged enough already.

Someone recently posted a graph api chat example.
This, and it applies to the creators of other contemporary languages as well.
Well, features like privacy and security are not really a commodity.
Ummm... you haven't used Inlets, have you?
But seriously, folks who use Inlets have typically tried a bunch of the obvious solutions and end up there when all else has failed them.

First of all, it's not "a" tunnel. It's however many you need to access the applications on your private network... which could be your laptop.
It's not for everyone, but if you're running lots of apps on, say, your laptop and you want to have TLS everywhere, none of the comparably priced options come close.
Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed that! I found the comment. Thanks for your help.
Just do it.

you don't need any help from us. if you start doing things, even failing at them, you will one day succeed. don't give up and just remember there is only one obstacle between you, and your chosen life.

you, so i say again

just do it.
Oh great, you're one of those bold truth tellers who can proudly espouse racism while the rest of us are too PC to recognize the obvious.

Right?

Go read some history. Specifically, all of it regarding the middle east and africa up until the present day. Heck, you can even just look at a map for a few minutes and marvel at how straight the lines are. Maybe you'll reach some more enlightened conclusions about the way things are.
I've been there. I spent the last half of 2006 through the end of 2009 doing seriously soul-sucking work that was sometimes fun (as it's related to my hobbies) but often arduous, and it left me very little time to do the things I wanted to do, which were technical, work-like, and couldn't remotely be construed as leisure.

I got laid off at the beginning of this year, and did a lot of cool things in my down-time. I'm finally back on board with a great company that's well-established (more than a decade old) but small and still has a startup feel to it. I spend the weekends hanging out with family, fishing, bicycling, writing, photographing stuff. Refreshed, I can truly welcome my Mondays now that I'm doing what I love to do for work.
Epidemiology regularly encounters this problem because you can't experiment on humans(you can't hurt them) Epidemiology relies on mountains of data to test a hypothesis. The problem is when you are asking the data to tell you about something exceedingly rare. For example say you think a rare brain cancer is caused by high levels of exposure to gamma radiation plus a genetic predisposition. Because genetic testing is relatively new, and exposures to gamma radiation at high levels are rare. You might come up with so much noise in your data that all results are meaningless.

This is one reason there is very little progress made on rare diseases and conditions.

Of course the same problem occurs when something is extremely common.
I find it useful to consider other options that have a strong possibility of success.

If you want to live like your rich go into investment banking. If you want to stop worrying about money, spend less. If all you want is freedom you can work a normal job in the US for 10 years and then retire to India or live like your poor for 15 years and then retire in the US.

But, if you really just want to dream about becoming rich spend 1$ a week / month on Powerball / Mega Millions and it Might happen. The truth is daydreaming can in and of it's self be fun just don't wast a lot of resources on it.
You missed the subplot where the Hillary Campaign via intermediaries paid a foreign national to 'develop' the Trump Russia Conspiracy.

It's not your fault it was poorly edited and paced.

Looking like there may be a sequel and probably a spin-off.
The worrying part of this joke is that it seems (at least to me) quite possible that this method could allow someone to smuggle enough of some radioactive waste product to make a not insignificant "dirty bomb".
That's not what this is, though. This is just factory workers that put a box on a cart for 70 hours a week losing their jobs because a robot can do it more efficiently. We're far off from robots creating robots that do things like that, so there are always going to be other jobs until then. They can find other jobs that are actually productive and worthwhile. This is why I find redistribution of wealth so ridiculous; there has to be someone working to generate wealth for himself, so why can't others just work like he is so they can generate their own wealth rather than stealing his?
I personally find it to become the case with as little as 5-6 developers under me (assuming they are good and I can trust them to program without needing me to step in and solve their problems of their own making on a regular basis).

Also as someone nearing his late 30s I'm sometimes surprised how good some programmers are as young as late teens/early 20s! These rare talents mostly need me to prevent them from going into rabbit holes but when they are pointing in the right direction can produce amazing results.

I am sure my time is better spent helping a few of these do better than what I'd get from just myself programming directly in the same amount of time (management is a multiplier on the team's productivity and that multiplier can easily get smaller than 1.0).

No you don't. Some institutions are stupid and have bureaucratic rules, but unless you need them it should not be your concern.

I don't know of any copy left license that prevents you from making JSON API calls from any source you want, so you can integrate something like matrix easily enough.
There are many differences between the two, but one of the more obvious ones is that nobody is running around claiming that US dollars are a good investment.
Just wanted to say how impressed I was with this solution and the results it achieved when I was following the development on -hackers.
> Guess devs just have to stay on top of the changing API requirements.

Yes.

And its volatility.
Not quite. I guess in some ways phantom types achieve the opposite of structural typing.

In a language with structural typing, two types are considered equivalent if they share the same structure. With phantom types we can have a single structure and disambiguate between different uses without touching the underling structure. There's no difference between Id(User) and Id(Post) at runtime, the annotation is purely a compile-time restraint.

In fact, because of typescript's structural typing, the only way to use phantom types in ts is to have some dummy field of type `never` that the type system can use to disambiguate between the two [1].

I simplified it so the example would fit in a single sentence. there are also more entities than just the artist+label organizing the tour/show. the fundamental point remains though: if scalping is a profitable business, the seller is seriously mispricing their product. I'm sure there's a good bit of variance in ticket demand show-to-show, but in total it looks like they are leaving a huge amount of money on the table. I'm not sure why, but I suspect they feel it is "uncool" to have very expensive tickets and worry that it might hurt the artist's image. maybe so, but the pricing is the original problem that is hurting fans and limiting the proceeds. arbitrage is merely a symptom, and the tickets would still be just as scarce without them.
Thanks for your interest! This is a great question. I've worked at Facebook on backend privacy, so let me think about what I can say without violating my NDA.

It's my understanding that large companies will create proprietary frameworks that help manage privacy policies on data. Programmers will typically be required to follow certain coding discipline when working with sensitive values so that they're calling library functions to manage policies. To my knowledge, however, these libraries deal with access control (who can access a specific piece of information) rather than information flow (how information may flow through a system).

Now here's the difference between access control and information flow--and why we need a language (or at least a DSL). When you only have access control, you're trusting the programmer to tell you correctly at one point where a piece of data is going. Even if a sensitive location value is used in a bunch of search queries, the result of which is shared as a status (that becomes visible to many people with different levels of access), the programmer is responsible for asking for the right level of access when accessing that location. With the complex policies we're starting to see in modern applications, managing this is becoming increasingly burdensome for developers. That's why were looking at how to automatically handle information flow: the system tracks how sensitive values are used in order to make sure the values--and resulting computations--are flowing only to those with appropriate permissions. While it's relatively simple to hook access control into existing programming models, automatically handling information flow requires enhancing the language semantics (especially for conditions and function calls) to track additional information.

Automatically managing information flow the way Jeeves does significantly relieves programmer burden, but can be computationally expensive. Much of our research these days is about how to make this more efficient so that companies can one day put this sort of mechanism into their production systems.

Happy to answer additional questions!
AFAIK Objective-C does indeed have dynamic features. It's also static & weak. So I already have a problem with the first line of the article:

> Ruby and Objective-C look like opposites: one is dynamic, the other's static;

EDIT: Just read that the author basically denies those claims in the next paragraph.

I remember when looking for a new company domain feeling like this SNL comedy skit: http://vimeo.com/82393638

Medical companies are ruthless here. I ran an e-commerce store that sold medical equipment, it was nearly impossible to buy any .com domain name related to the medical industry. We ended up settling with JazzMed because one of our founders liked Jazz and we figured it was a unique brand. We ran the company for about 6 months slowly getting to a point where we had roughly 10 orders a day. Needless to say, once we started ranking well in Google a health care company called Jazz Pharmaceuticals threatened legal action, even went through the trouble of sending a certified letter from their lawyer. After reviewing our options and after receiving a formal complaint to the court from the company we decided to shut down and comply with their demands which was to transfer the domain ownership to them. We just didn't have the resources to hire a lawyer and keep the company going. The sad part is that there are so many businesses in that space it's nearly impossible to create a company name that doesn't sound like an existing one.
It seemed to have about the same crime as anywhere. I could easily imagine a drug epidemic really getting out of hand there, though I never saw that happen.

When I was there, some Alaskan religious group would rotate some "nondenominational" preacher through for a year or three and serve up basic Sunday School type Christianity out of an ugly room in the big building pictured.

There seemed to be a high-ish suicide rate, and working in the fishing industry is fairly dangerous.
Then I'd suggest you properly attribute them for the data, especially if you're going to charge people for access (in my opinion, IANAL). See their site on the matter:

First I thought the Waddington Effect would just be the usual inverse causality (broken planes require more maintenance, ergo planes receiving more maintenance are more likely to turn out to be the ones that break a lot). Turns out it's something different entirely. Interesting read.
Cheers. I enjoyed reading your post. The amount of research you put into it showed.
*Benefits a very small part of society, you mean
"Specifically, we are looking for whether protestors are successful in continuing their disruption and what actions members of the GOP take in response to these protests. Momentum has not shifted, but violence can create opportunities, and the question at this point is how will officials and other actors respond to this threat. "
Cruz, Hawley, et al. helped escalate the situation to this point. This would not have happened if they weren't planning on protesting certification in the first place. There are degrees of culpability here. It obviously starts with the mob itself, then Trump, then his supporters in congress, then other Republicans who hesitated to accept the election results, etc.
A common response I've received when refuting part or all of various conspiracy theories, young Earth creationist, or flat Earth type logic: "It doesn't matter that that's not true, it still could have been true."

Like the possibility of a truth is all they need to believe in it. And then shifting goal posts.
No, there was no people from Antifa or BLM
I'd consider it a coup if there were an organized group with a remotely plausible plan for overthrowing the government.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. I have lost count of the number of times I have found a solution to some problem after explaining some technical detail to a layman who then suggested something I wouldn't have thought of.
> Look at the prayer beads beside the mirror: (...) Don’t they seem uncannily real?

Perhaps, but the two figures in the foreground don't look like real people. If realism is the goal, he should have spent more time there.

CentOS is not a rolling release. CentOS stream and has effectively 'switched places' with RHEL. It will get patches first, then RHEL will inherit them.

The only visible difference I can see, is that embargoed bug fixes will hit RHEL first before CentOS stream.

This apparently is very difficult for people to understand.

I've used VSCode remote development for JS, TS, C++ (with clang), and Golang.

It all just works. VSCode even has a built in debugger that just works - I can use the visual debugger in VSCode running on a chromebook to debug JS or C++ running on the remote machine. It all works over some SSH magic that is abstracted away. Breakpoints, call stacks, local variables, step in/out/over etc - all there on your local machine despite the code running on another machine somewhere else.

Even if I am working with docker/docker-compose on the remote, the local VSCode has built-in support for listing running containers, showing images, attaching shells to containers, up/downing compose configs etc etc. Super useful for me since I can never remember the command line for attaching a shell :)

I have been really impressed. It is kinda getting to sort of "universal IDE" sort of levels of functionality but it still feels like a lightweight text editor at its heart (extensions help a lot with this I guess - only have what you need). Only negative is load-times are slightly longer than I'd like at perhaps 3 or 4 seconds on my machines.
Could you measure it for us?

I understand why people don't constantly think about their digital footprint, but it's not that different from when they order the same thing at a stall for a month, and the clerk begins to ask "Do you want your usual?".
TL;DR since most people (understandably) didn't have the patience to read through the lengthy, drawn out, repetitious build-up of false-endings in the article:

It looks like Apple threw away all data collected by their first (van-based) Look Around driving effort in the US. All released imagery is from their most recent Subaru-based re-driving of the US.

Agree wholeheartedly with the typical stance of large telcos in the US.
Here’s an interesting fact: if you’re insulin resistant (more than half the population is), then you could have a “healthy” meal like a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, and the body’s poor insulin response actually forces all the carbs you just ate into your fat cells while denying your body fuel, thus making you hungrier. To overcome this you have to eat enough carb to still have fuel available even after your fat metabolism is satisfied. So the heavier you are the more you have to eat before you have fuel available to your body.

It’s very, very difficult to overcome genetics.
They don't go starting wars.
1: Github crew, can we get a way to use our API token or some other revokable token as a password for HTTPS repo operations? I appreciate that anything involving “revokable tokens” is really hard to make a decent UI for, but it just feels bad keeping that in my .netrc file.

Isn't this exactly how their regular SSH access works? If you don't want an SSH key to work anymore, just remove it from GitHub.
Don't let this comment stop you. You should do it. The only issue I see is the sign-up/ payment issue. If you can get past that hurdle I bet you will get a million requests by day 14 if you can make it on Techcrunch and/or get people to go viral with Tweets and Facebook updates. DO IT!
I've never been at the stage where I don't do _anything_, but I'm often frustrated that I don't do _enough_.

I went through a stage of spending way too much time on Reddit - on the order of 4-5 hours a day. This has been discussed often, but it can be crippling - as soon as you hit the tiniest mental roadblock, you switch your browser to Reddit, next thing you know it's 20 minutes later and not only is your roadblock not solved, you even forgot what you were doing. So then you read more Reddit while you try to remember.

It's terrible, and a lot of it isn't even conscious, until the day is over and you realize how little you did.

My friend made a good point - you don't NEED more than 15 minutes a day to keep up to date with what's on sites like Reddit or HN. You can spend a lot more time, but beyond a certain point it's just frustration that you've already read all of it.

So I installed LeechBlock:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4476/

I set it to allow 15 minutes of access every 6 hours to my timesinks, and I set it to not allow access to its settings during the blocked times (so I can't easily turn it off).

At first I would hit the blocked page every few minutes, without even realizing that I intended to do so. The frequency was a bit shocking, to be honest - part of it was honestly muscle memory by then (alt-tab to browser, type "re", down, enter). The blocked page made it possible to force myself to focus on work again, every time, but it also made me realize how badly my brain patterns had been disrupted - my brain just craved distractions and did NOT want to focus for more than a few minutes at a time, which is never enough to do anything meaningful.

After about a week, the cravings for distraction were a lot lower. After about two weeks, they were mostly gone. I've now settled into a good rhythm, I complete tasks without interruption and check the time sinks for a few minutes at a time in between tasks - and I always have the safety net of the 15 minutes per 6 hours limit. I usually hit that limit, but not always.

Sure, it's trivial to circumvent LeechBlock (just use a different browser, for example), but that's not the point. The point is that you are making a conscious decision that what your brain is doing is not OK, and you need to re-train it to do what you want. Things like LeechBlock are not magical solutions, but just tools to help you do that.

Edit: I prefer LeechBlock to the hostsfile hacks because it's not as rigid: it lets me settle into a natural rhythm that works for me, which also means I'm a lot less likely to turn it off and "forget" to turn it back on.
Hans Reiser was, by any account, pretty smart. His journaling filesystem was quite a technological leap over ext2 at the time.

Yet he did murder his wife. Some hardcore fans denied his guilt up (some claiming his mild autism was exploited by the prosecution to make him appear guilty) until the very point where he lead the authorities to where he buried the corpse of his wife.
Still, though, it's $50 on a 3-year contract, over which time thousands of dollars will be paid in tithe to the mobile company.

In smartphone pricing anything below $200 (in a contract) is a wash, because very few people actually buy their phone outside of a term. And yes, that includes internationally.

There'll probably never be a cheap iPhone, however

There's this myth that Apple just never lowers themselves to becoming the discount option.

Except with the iMac, which became popular because it was a cheap, all-in-one computer.

Except with the iPod and iPod Touch, which have always led the entire category in value.

Except for the iPad, which still can't be matched by competitors.

Except with Apple TV.

Except with the iPhone, compared to the Blackberry competition at the time.

Apple plays a great value game. That they are considered some sort of BMW of electronics is laughable. They are the Toyota of electronics: Great products, but if you really think they're exclusive...
