It should be clear that this is a USB-C specification issue and not just an Apple issue.
CUPS is exactly what Google is switching Chrome OS to, as a replacement for Cloud Print.

But the reason to have Google's (or someone's) servers involved is so that you don't need to be on the same network (e.g., you can print to your home printer, behind a firewall/NAT, while you're at a coffeeshop, also behind a firewall/NAT).
Let me be clear; I was mostly talking about ratings re: SNR. Ratings, in a very explicit mathematical sense, become literally undefined when you aren't comparing them between things, but just comparing something to itself. You can't have a vote with one candidate; you can't have an auction with one bidder; etc. The results are all undefined. In the exact same sense, you can't have a ratings system in a marketplace with one product in it.

Or, for a direct analogy: you can't have Hot or Not where it's just one dude. Is he hot? Is he not? Undefined.

Now, freeform text reviews: sure, they might hold some meaning, even in a single-seller marketplace. (For subtle behavioral-economic reasons, I would hypothesize that they probably don't, but let's pretend they do.) I would posit, though, that whatever's in those reviews is already the result of "PR sterilization." What you're seeing is what Apple wants you to see. It's their store.

Reviews only "work" (i.e. have guaranteed real signal, rather than "maybe real, maybe fake" signal) when incentives in a marketplace are aligned such that even the marketplace owner has no incentive to tamper with which reviews are or are not visible. That is not true here, and so the reviews are not, and never were, trustworthy. They were noise from the start.
Docker doesn't provide a strong security boundary. It's a sandbox only in the sense that it separates the container from the host from inadvertent entanglement (mostly).

(And the nonportability of images is another thing)
The point was there’s a lot of people with a lot of transactions in healthcare happening, so “hearing” about it constantly doesn’t mean anything.

And yes, I know the link doesn’t have statistics in erroneous denials of coverage (I couldn’t find it anywhere quickly), but it did note that the law requires insurers to abide by an external reviewer’s decision.

Surely if there were that many erroneous denials of coverage, there would be lots of people clamoring to get it overturned via the external reviews.

It’s probably just the case that most denials are justified (in the legal sense) that the requested healthcare lacked sufficient documentation, did not have efficacy data, was using brand name medicine instead of generic, etc.
Except magicians do actually share their secrets; there is an active trade around it, conferences, discussions and lots of reading material available. The barrier of entry is higher than any old open source project but it's not inaccessible and comparable to alchemy.

I was talking about ML in general, not just this project. See OpenAI and their latest release for example: no public product, no trained model. Just alchemy.
If it was true that insurers are routinely erroneously denying care, then people would be taking advantage of the ACA law that mandates external review of all claims and subjects insurers to the external’s reviewers’ decision.
Occam's razor is not trivial to apply when everyone claims that their own interpretation is the simplest.
>Not in this universe anyway, nothing close to 35 years was ever on the table. To suggest otherwise is deliberate disinformation.

The prosecutors office was working to pile on even more charges for a theoretical max of 50 years.
The offer was a plea deal which the prosecutor thought was an appropriate sentence yet she hounded him with as many charges as possible anyway guaranteeing him years in jail if he did not accept and waive the constitutional rights he'd have during a trial.
He declined and his counter offer was rejected.

This illustrates how it is a legal fiction that plea bargaining is a voluntary negotiation between the prosecutor and defendant
There might be good reasons, with licensed products you have to take into account who has the license for each part, a large toy company might already have negotiated exclusive rights to making sonic screwdrivers so might not even have been an option.

Although it does seems strange to make the selling point so much about that universe but the object itself isn’t even trying to be part of the universe.
The triple negative has me confused, are you saying macOS prevents developers from working properly? I know very few developers that don't use macs, is this what you're actually saying?

What support of theirs is "garbage"? Their documentation for some aspects of iOS/macOS frameworks has been pretty bad for a few years, but that's probably not what you're referring to?
wow "curry apologists" ! ??
It's interesting to note in particular that these departments graduate many more women by percentage than they then hire.

Great article! I think a big problem in math is a certain insularity that suspiciously pushes away people who do interdisciplinary or education work unless they're also publishing "real math", narrowly defined.

That's not all that common

Isn't it? Usually distros target their packages to a single library version, and often people run suites (Gnome, KDE, etc) that use a similar set of libraries in their different processes.
Those weird words and procedures are taught to the students. My kids understand them just fine. It's the parents who aren't in the classroom getting the instruction that goes along with the homework that are complaining.

I simply ask my kids, on those occasions where I can't suss it out on my own, what concept the teacher was teaching them about. I don't expect a perfect answer to that question - their teachers are instructing learners and not teachers after all - but the responses to my question usually give me enough context to recognize that they are just a new vernacular for the way my mind does math anyway.
Anybody know why this might be? Is it because Microsoft has been historically friendlier to China (vs. Google) or because it's even worse than Baidu?
From what I understand, in NY, if you're renting your property to someone for less than 30 days, the law considers you to be operating a hotel, and you need to obey the laws that govern hotels - pay the hotel tax, comply with safety regulations (e.g., commercial fire codes), etc.

If you're living in a rented apartment, renting it out without the landlord's approval violates the terms of your lease, and you face eviction. The landlord would never give permission for a sublease of less than 30 days, since that would be operating an illegal hotel. If you're living in a condo/coop building, renting your unit usually requires the permission of the building's board (which they're also not going to give you for a short-term rental).

Also, you'd need to declare your rental income on your tax return. Otherwise, you're breaking the laws regarding tax evasion.

If you aren't violating the above conditions, your rental could be legal.
Most people use credit cards for cash flow management. They carry a balance, but make payments.
Because Twitter and Facebook have policies against doing those things, and they enforce them. That's why so many right-wing extremists complain about being "de-platformed" - they're mad that Facebook isn't letting them agitate for martial law, the kidnapping of governors, etc.
Titanium uses JavaScriptCore as a runtime interpreter to bind to native Obj-C, which is in full compliance with Apple's policies regarding interpreted code (section 3.3.2).
Safe-harbor means the provider dooes not have to authenticate a DMCA notice - the takedown notice is done under perjury, they just have to obey it to escape any liability.

The catch is there is virtually never a prosecution for a bogus takedown, I cannot remember ever reading about one, it would be huge news.

Bogus takedowns happen all the time on youtube so I guess now it's moved onto facebook.

Can't believe I am suggesting this but anonymous just needs to have "Takedown Fridays" where they target the service of their choice and perjure away to their hearts' content. When thousands of FB pages suddenly vanish, eventually Congress may get wind of it and improve the law but I kind of doubt it.
FYI - the copyright complaint form is here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/copyright.php?noncopyright_no...

As you can see, it's not a normal DMCA take down, and it can easily be spoofed.Yes, you have to certify under penalty of perjury, but what difference does that make if the contact information is bogus?
I think your quote is a misinterpretation of Eric Schmidt: http://blogs.gartner.com/jeffrey_mann/2009/12/18/googles-eri...

It's arguable, but I agree with the author of the linked post.

> That doesn't mean I need to understand the entire code base, but if I'm modifying a portion of the code base, I'm loath to touch it till I understand what it's doing.

This is also me. I get flack for spending too long on what seem like "small" fixes but I can't be sure (especially in spaghetti code) until I've dug through it. On a couple occasions, different companies unfortunately, I caught flack for spending too long trying to understand critical finance code. As in, how we were billing every single customer. But it always yielded results, and a week later I'm in a meeting explaining how abc original implementation would have broken xyz, but the scowls never really go away. It's frustrating.
Firefox nigthly just refuses to connect. The reason is, that the site only accepts a RC4 cypher.

They wouldn't make it to Australia. The government would force them to Nauru or Cambodia where they would be locked up in basically a prison until the tried to commit suicide or were beaten/raped by staff. Or until they gave up and decided to go back to where they came from.

Australia truly is a lovely, compassionate country.
I played with a Sooner phone (the HTC development phone) and I remember it having 64MB of RAM.

Bitstamp Service Temporarily Suspended

We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015.

As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.

IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE DEPOSITS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. THEY CANNOT BE HONORED!

Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.

Bitstamp takes our security and soundness very seriously. In an excess of caution, we are suspending service as we continue to investigate. We will return to service and amend our security measures as appropriate.

> So there is perhaps some pressure from the inside to develop new features.

Oh yeah, these pressures are both internal and external. There is a reason concepts like NIH, bike-shedding and "reinventing the wheel" are endemic problems in the software world. I guess we're just seeing that Apple is not immune from them, after all.
Researched a bit on Twilio. Looks like it's the exact kind of thing I need. Thanks a lot, man. This was very helpful.
Another gem from those times was "CRACKING 101" and "Cracking On the IBMpc" both by Buckaroo Banzai.

> I'm only sad that I've forgotten so much, and that it's getting harder and harder to make cool stuff like this - there are still ways to get a 1:1 array:pixel mapping and have at, but they're all more complicated than MOV AX, 13h; INT 10h; and $A000.

That's another blog post. Give me time :)
Have you seen "You Could Have Invented Monads"?
Thanks for the info. Actually, I just want to receive a user's call to a number and record his message. So, I guess Twilio is the answer.
If you think words gaining new and changing meanings is "a sad travesty", then I think you are a nice person -- and I don't mean in the modern sense of the word.
Do you want your customers to be people who pay a monthly fee or do you want your customers to be corporations who purchase the data from you?

There's nothing wrong with building a subscription based service and having people pay for it - I think that's a 'better' business model than free -> data harvesting, but the real question is what will people [corporations or individuals] pay for?
Libertarianism: the belief that the ideal form of government for a small village scales to societies of hundreds of millions of people.
Doesn't seem to be working on my XP SP3 + Chrome 10.
I'll give it a try later on my Ubuntu and Win7, if they work any better.
Yes, you can write anything in any language that's Turing complete, but that's not the point. Perl's mantra is "there's more than one way to do it", and so you get code that does it a million different ways. Python emphasizes there being only one right way, and so Python code is inherently more maintainable.
Can you give examples of ethics that have some grounding in science and empirical examination of the world?
What a coincidence. I've just used it 3 times in the past 2 hours to find code for some uuid and statistical cases. I have to admit, it's amazing for a quick lookup of common use cases when you don't want to think too much or remember things.
Apple's bluetooth touchpad is pretty nice.
My machine needs to be online 24/7, so I reboot it just once a week, on Sunday.

I'm not forced to do that, I just like the idea of a "fresh start" since I don't have ECC memory and I do detect a bit flip (through CRC checks) every 2 months or so.

You can keep pushing update required reboots forward as much as you want, one week at a time, so I just push it past the Sunday reboot.
You could (fairly) easily build a reduced test case to verify this. I'd be interested in seeing the results.
At least for me, Win-Tab takes ~2 seconds to “engage”. The animations are very much not smooth. The animation isn’t synchronized an multiple screens either.

It’s a start, but it’s not there yet.

However, window management on macOS isn’t great beyond mission control.
Avid Windows user here. I had to explain myself so many times to coworkers that I wrote this list [0] to point out differences that users may not be aware of. This list is 4 years old a this point, so a few of the items are no longer true, but overall it still holds water.

I've been forced to use Mac for work for several years now, and I still feel jailed in my productivity compared to Windows. The biggest, most crucial difference that Mac users don't seem to know they're missing is how every single Windows dialog box acts like a complete version of Windows Explorer. The Mac's save and open dialog boxes are absolutely infuriating. Also, why can't I just create a markdown file in a folder, double click it so it opens in vscode, then start typing? Window management on Mac is nonexistent, how come window snapping isn't a native feature? Mission Control is like playing hide-and-seek, not managing windows.

Fighting your tools interrupts thought. A keyboard is a discrete mechanism: you can make mistakes using hotkeys, but the overall state space is infinitely smaller than the continuous state space of a mouse. That makes precision easier, which leads to a closer mapping between intent and action, which makes it easier to enter and maintain a flow state.

Emailing the CEO because some engineer isn't responding promptly enough to your emails isn't a good way to get him on your side. From your perspective, he promised you something and you are trying to get him to deliver. From his perspective, you've just alerted the CEO of the company (multiple times) that maybe he's not being productive enough.

In general, it's not a good way to get this guy to give you a green light on getting hired/acquired.
I guess my MacBook isn't "current".
I think many of these arguments are just about the confusion between an in-the-system and out-of-the-system perspective.

Suppose I say "Joe Bloggs shouldn't be President". You could reply "Who are you to say that? We have a democratic system, and if the people choose to elect Joe Bloggs as President then Joe Bloggs should be President". And of course you'd be right in that I don't have the right to stand outside the system and declare that Joe Bloggs shouldn't be President. But if we zoom in on the democratic system then you'll see all sorts of people standing around arguing about whether Joe Bloggs should or should not be President, which is probably the level on which I meant to make my pronouncement in the first place.

Similarly, if I say "login" isn't a verb, it's not because I'm setting myself up as the independent arbiter of what is and isn't a word, I'm merely expressing a ground-level preference within-the-system preference that it should not be considered a verb (due, in this case, to inconsistency and the impossibility of sensibly putting it into past tense), and words come and go due to just such sorts of ground-level arguments.

So, with that out of the way, I agree that "login" shouldn't be a verb. Also, "panini" is plural and the singular is "panino".
Why wouldn't it be "good"? If you can only remember the symptoms of 200 diseases, but the machine can remember 18000, why wouldn't it be net-beneficial to always input the symptoms into the machine, as well as performing whatever deductive diagnosis you do normally? Is it just because the UI of existing implementations is horrible?
I'll happily wait 20 seconds for gmail to load, since I'm not going to close it again until I reboot.

Anyone here know how the A4 compares to the upcoming Tegra 2? It's interesting most of the A4 is based on a Samsung design. Would this mean Samsung's own upcoming Android tablet will have the power on an iPad?
Bismark was in a position to influence the value of his investments.
I like the idea of this site Kyle and the design is awesome. If it works like it sounds, this will a great fit with developers. How long have you been working on this? I am applying now.
Been there done that.

They also asked my religion. I said I'm Buddhist (sort of true, though I'm not a very good one) and after a brief chat, I was sent off with my beans. No pat down, no detention.

FYI, If you want to avoid this, handle as few volatile compounds as you can (E.G. Alcohol based products). Better yet, stop using that artificial malarkey altogether. You'll smell less offensive and it would probably be healthier for you anyway.

Of course, this is just a stop-gap measure to avoid getting inconvenienced. The real solution is to move from security theater to true security and that takes policy changes.
This article has very little to do with Ramadan...Muslims don't fly more often during Ramadan than the rest of the year, do they? 9/11 didn't happen during Ramadan.

Take a look at this objectively.

A brown guy, traveling alone, tested positive for explosive residue while going through a TSA checkpoint. After some brief questioning, they determined that there was a 99% chance that he wasn't a terrorist.

How stupid would we as Americans have felt had we allowed someone to fly on the same day as having a 1% chance that he was a terrorist?
In the states, especially in places that aren't Colorado or Washington, I didn't often see SUVs with racks on the top. Maybe it's just a northern thing...
By the Kelly criterion, you should bet edge/odds of your bankroll. Your edge here is 0.01 * 0.0001 = 0.000001. Your odds are 0.01. Therefore you should bet 0.0001 of your net worth. So if you had a million dollars, that $100 bet would be a sensible investment. If you've only got, say, $100k then you should only bet for entertainment value.

The investment rule that underlies Kelly is to maximize the log of your net worth. Why? Bets multiply your net worth by a random factor, take logs and you're adding a random factor. In the long run a sum of independent random factors tends to converge to the expected value, so maximizing the expected log of your net worth will result in a strategy that with 100% odds will, in the long run, beat any other.
I agree. Especially since you've copied another existing game (Quarto). Which is fine, I guess, but at the moment you've copied someone else's game and copied someone else's style... Your unique idea is bringing these two elements together, which is good, but in the future I might suggest copying Loren on a deeper level: Create both your own interesting presentation style and a clever new game mechanic to go along with it.
How so? They don't have my SIN number or anything. Please elaborate. I'm open to all suggestions here.
Happened to me too once. Since i put a spring on the cable. I've seen people doing it for the iphone charger (http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--WoIhYjfz...) so i tried on my power adapter cable and it works like a charm!
You seem to be confused. Refusing your client's W-9 request doesn't eliminate your need to issue 1099s for your subcontractors.

There are potential penalties associated with each. Additionally, if you refuse to provide the W-9 and are still doing work for your client, don't be surprised if the client starts backup withholding.
Yeah, that makes sense. It simplifies both.

Looking at the only two members of “Ethos Capital” (ironic name)

1) CEO: A Harvard MBA with typical PE experience

2) “Chief purpose officer” - Former SVP at ICANN responsible for corporate outreach.

The structure of this stinks. I’d be not at all surprised to learn of some kind of back channel dealing.

Edit: The former (2016) CEO of ICANN registered ethoscapital.com? After ICANN he went to the former PE firm of (1) above. He is certainly involved in this now, even if not named.

Unbelievable. This heist was planned for years with money raised specifically for it. I can’t believe this is legal.
