> In urban areas, yes. In rural areas- in Greece they're like a stereotype, farmers with pickup trucks. I know at least one person who has a pimped-up one with rollbars (bullbars?) and big lights and so on.

Not to mention the farmers who buy these sorts of vehicles in Europe tend to value durability, reliability and ease of maintenance. From what I can tell, they all drive around in old Hiluxes.

Having been stung by John Deere already, farmers aren't going to fall over themselves to buy something that they don't own, can't fix themselves and will likely be in the dealer for months if it breaks.

This is a luxury status symbol.
I'm a small car kind of guy myself and generally consider trucks in the city to be silly. my last roommate had an f150 though and there are a couple of advantages. some of the roads in my area are simply awful, so jarring to drive on in my car that I have to go 10mph under the speed limit sometimes. there are also poorly designed intersections where you can easily hop the curb if you're not careful. driving a big truck means you don't have to care about this stuff. you don't feel the bumps at speed and you can just drive right over the curb with no problem. people don't cut you off or pull other aggressive moves on you nearly as often. my roommate has driven away (after exchanging info!) from two accidents where the other car was totaled.

I don't want one myself, but I can understand the appeal.
Time and reality exist because we all agree it does and or believe our senses.
I’m not sure to follow your points. The technology is based on oauth2/openid standard which would allow developers to switch quite easily.

The business model is subscription based which is pretty standard.

Sending email is not just about « clean » ip address or passing by a third party provider.For example some email clients can display the emails differently so one need to take this into account.

Anw I don’t think the discussion will lead to anything. Again the article represents a point of view that some will not agree and I totally understand.
What about a remote game of poker? Better for drinking a pint.
Ah, yes, the mathematical "spherical cow".
And even then they managed to get wages to a few times larger than in the rest of the country.

I rest my case...
>> How did you improve the business results of your former employers?

Do you have any suggestions for experienced devs that aren't free to answer that question with any detail?
> Huge problem as machine learning starts to become an interest topic for people in the art and design community.

Out of curiosity, what Mac apps are you and other professionals using for art & design? Being a part time artist & ex-Mac person, I thought the stereotype of Mac being an artist/designer’s machine was almost gone. Most professional artists I know have had to switch away from Mac. To be fair, most artists I know are doing 3d and need GPUs. But I’m honestly wondering what else is keeping people on Mac and how well the platform is serving professional designers and artists today.
Is this a bad idea? Probably. But I would also argue- vastly superior to golf.
I think not, his codename was Godsend and VENONA's missing one was 19 AFAIK.
I said "can", not "you always do". That said, context matters, and in the wrong context, a terse factual statement will be taken by almost everyone at anything but face value.
React Native is only the view layer. There is a ton more to an app than just the view layer.
Living in the D.C. area, I can only speak for experience but Verizon seems to operate two groups of techs.

One as you said are in-house and unionized, these guys seem to mostly handle the apartment complexes and large installments.

The other group handles regular houses, or off-one jobs when the market is exploding.

I've spoken to techs on both sides, and they both confirmed with mild disdain the existence of the other group.

Just an anecdote.
In general, yes.

In this instance, the buyer was 100% convinced that the property had the service of interest and was told it did by the local monopoly in charge of providing such service. There was no work to be done before the closing because Comcast won't hook up Internet to a property for someone who isn't the property owner or resident.

What you're describing would be a bit like taking out a contingency on the house actually having running water after you physically walked through the house and checked the taps and toilets, just on the off chance that the water is actually not coming from the local muni water source, but instead from an on-property aquifer that a previous owner had tapped and painstakingly routed into the house's internal plumbing, and immediately after closing the sale that aquifer runs dry.

Real people don't go to that level of contract detail.
I and a friend wrote a tool to check your repositories with this API:

'pv' shows a progress bar, something like '&& touch $x.success' can help restart recovery.

I'd probably pick the shell approach for something I expect to be a one-off, but reconsider each time the task is repeated.

I printed http://xkcd.com/1205/ and stuck it to the wall. It's a useful reference when someone seems to be under or overengineering something.
That from time to time contains all kinds of false negatives and does a subpar job, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Watch_Foundation_and_... and https://fuwafuwa.moe/transparency/cocaine.ninja/2016-07-14.d... - which means that the ISPs do not "rightly so" block sites mentioned in said lists.

But even then if they did their job perfectly, not everyone agrees with this censorship policy. "ah yes, I will intercept your DNS queries and censor anything related to certain sites which I do not fit within my personal moral framework" is not something that I agree with.
> In any E2E context you have to trust the client code.

You have to trust it not to exfiltrate your local plaintext data, sure; but encryption and key management in a native app might be outsourced to a TPM chip, in a way where the native app can't steal the keys, nor decrypt anything "behind your back", in practical terms meaning there's a smaller surface-area of code to audit.
Whether you did or did not have some procedure done is definitely private medical information in Europe. There is no way for them to know whether I did or did not participate - maybe through the on site doctor if that is the one doing the procedure, but they're bound by very serious regulation to keep their mouths shut. Regardless, me not wanting to go would be a perfectly normal thing as well.
So it was a personal attack then?

My last word: we should hardly be surprised that the product of a couple of generations of laissez-faire leftist moulding acts as if it doesn't have to listen to authority. This is precisely the intention of said leftism...
I grew up in Hungary during the Cold War, and I can tell you that this is complete hogwash.

The Soviet Union and the U.S. did engage each other in a series of proxy wars. This is not all that surprising: the economic systems of their respective empires were incompatible with that of the other, and in ways that thr existence of one inherently made the other unstable.

In particular, the existence of a rich, relatively-free-market Western Europe, especially West Germany, was absolutely a threat to the Eastern Block: it showed how lousy and untenable the Soviet economic policy was. There was steady movement of people from East to West (prompting the Soviets to build the Iron Curtain lest East Germany find itself with population zero, and to prevent their scientist from publishing in international conferences lest they all defect) and a stream of superior products going from West to East, which made this common knowledge among the population. This made Western Europe a grave, existential threat to the leadership of the Eastern Block. Even if the U.S. had not tried to curtail Soviet expansion elsewhere, this would have made NATO a threat in the sense that it prevented them from solving this problem by ravaging Western Europe using their military might. Such a resolution of the issue would have hurt the U.S., since the Eastern economic system was incomoatible with theirs, and the Atlantic trade was seen as essential for American prosperity. Needless to say, it made sense for them to double down on NATO.

The educated population of the Eastern block understood, and we fully expected the Warsaw Pact to be the one to strike first.

Was the threat assessment of the communist leadership correct? I'd say it was spot on: as society became more open, and as the East started having to rely on CoCom-list products that they couldn't manufacture themselves, itbecame common knowledge that the Eastern economix models have failed, the theatrics became untenable, and eventually the leaders of the Eastern block were deposed, just as they predicted.
Either it will A or B, where A is "slows down". How is that "not taking into account the slowdown"?
I don't think this would work very well. iPad typing, like normal typing, is all about muscle memory. Given a default position (fingertips hovering above middle row) each of my ten fingers has learned how to reach for and connect with each letter key. After reaching for a letter and tapping it my fingers immediately return to the default position. To type a capital letter I quickly tap shift with the pinky opposite the hand that will reach for that letter and then it's business as usual. Same goes for the symbol keys on the second page. This system minimizes the unique muscle movements needed to type the full spectrum of letters, numbers, and symbols. Sure: I'm making more key presses to type a single symbol in the current system, but many of those keystrokes are motions that I have learned to make very rapidly since they are used so often.

In this new scheme I'd be learning a new movement for each capitalization and special character. Seems like it will be a while before I'd become nearly as proficient as I am now (65wpm).

Also, adding flicks (especially downwards ones) to all of the keys seems like a recipe for wrist strain.

There are some interesting ideas in this post, and I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement on the iOS keyboards, but this isn't it. In the end I think it just boils down to needing practice.

And yes: I'm biased. My buddy and I buuilt an iOS typing trainer called TapTyping. We have seen people get some pretty impressive results:

This is not a new finding, Google is competent enough to realize who is behind such kinds of attacks. That's why they kicked up a big storm (threatening to leave China etc).
Well, they are but they also have vertical take-off. What the person above was probably trying to say is that it is no good for launching fighter jets.

I do web development professionally in Rails and am doing a side project in Haskell. I would have been done in a fraction of the time in Rails, but I wouldn't have become a better programmer. Unfortunately it doesn't matter that much how great your language is and even if it has some of the basics of web development down well. At the end of the day it is really about how much existing code can be quickly reused.
I think you're taking moral relativism too far when you compare the US with a country like North Korea. I would actually say the US is "absolutely better in all respects" than North Korea; care to name a respect in which North Korea is better than the US?
It seems that by 2100, if the stated effects (which are certainly at the high end of what's realistic), it ought to be relatively easy to do some large-scale engineering to mitigate them. Either dig some new seas to soak up the water (Australia could use its own Mediterranean) or put mirrors in orbit to cool the planet.
As soon as I am a gazillionaire, I will do this. It will be my opportunity to test out all the theories I have learned in my political science studies.
Memory has been updated now :)

BTW, does anybody know why I can't edit my comment?

AFAIK they just started production in another factory in Marburg.
This demonstrates he was complicit in the fleecing of all the individuals who bought them off the top dosgcoin holders.
Not the grandparent, but this is an actual concern. As you say, there is nothing preventing us from aiming for large-scale EV conversion while simultaneously improving the grid.

The problem is that many seem to believe the second part will happen automatically, whereas in reality, it'll require large investments in renewing and improving current infrastructure.

As a comparison, I live in the Finnish countryside. Cold like the one experienced in Texas is pretty normal here, but the grid situation is similar to what the grandparent suggests; a large-scale EV rollout would simply not be possible during wintertime as the grid's already maxed out due to electric heating. And this is when most people burn wood or wood pellets in order to keep their electricity bills low.

This will be easier to remedy in urban areas, but unless we start upgrading the infrastructure soon, there's simply no way we'll be using EV's to the extent we want to in 15 years.
GDB, llvm, gcc, IDE, devel packages, etc. My distribution (Fedora) contains latest or prior version of rust, cargo, RLS, and clippy, which are updated as usual.
If you read his books (which he dictates) he also appears to have come up with a basic concept of parallelism and pipelining which he managed to do on punchcard machines of the time by mixing up groups of different computations in the punchchard stacks based on dependent variables in the computations they were doing.

Here's another telling of the story

http://www.mphpa.org/classic/HISTORY/H-06c18.htm

The new IBM punched-card machines were devoted to calculations to simulate implosion, and Metropolis and Feynman organized a race between them and the hand-computing group. "We set up a room with girls in it. Each one had a Marchant. But one was the multiplier, and another was the adder, and this one cubed, and all she did was cube this number and send it to the next one," said Feynmann. For one day, the hand computers kept up: "The only difference was that the IBM machines didn't get tired and could work three shifts. But the girls got tired after a while."

Feynmann worked out a technique to run several calculations in parallel on the punched-card machines that reduced the time required. "The problems consisted of a bunch of cards that had to go through a cycle. First add, then multiply, and so it went through the cycle of machines in this room - slowly - as it went around and around. So we figured a way to put a different colored set of cards through a cycle too, but out of phase. We'd do two or three problems at a time," explained Feynman. Three months were required for the first calculation, and Feynman's technique reduced it to two or three weeks.
He probably could take that into court and have that action taken down.

However, I'm not so clear that third parties wouldn't capitalize upon the exclusivity he just de jure created by restricting land access. But without actual ownership of the beach itself to turn it into private property, he might have unintentionally triggered a tragedy of the commons scenario, where he's raised the attractiveness of that particular spot of the beach without being able to charge and throttle access for it, and those third parties will be able to deliver that access and charge for it, without having to pay for the beach capex and opex itself.

This has the potential to be environmentally terrible, and I'd rather truly not see that happen, even though if it does happen it would make others in this thread happy on how much a Pyrrhic victory it would represent for Khosla.
not op, but I also started couple of months back. For the longest of times I didn't start because I didn't had any plan, and so it was just easy for me to ignore. Once, I set up the plan (eventually!), it became easier to just follow through with it. Here's the link to the sheet. Hope it helps you.

Is Khosla Mexican or descended from the Mexican landowners? Why were the special property rights of the Mexican landowners under the treaty passed to subsequent US owners of the land? So now there is land in CA that is not federal or native-American land, but it is not subject to CA laws. That's the part that doesn't seem logical in this.

Also maybe how CA could end this situation: pass a law that all current property rights are guaranteed, but only rights recognized under current CA law are conveyed at sale. Or maybe it needs to be a US law--or a treaty amendment with Mexico.

It's the least we could do for Khosla.
thanks for pointing out - will fix it asap!
I wish I could find the resource I read but common law paths and easements have existed for a long time and it's not absurd that long-standing tradition can reflect intent or legal obligation. Domestic marriage after a certain number of years is one example.
Fair enough, I get your point. That said, I'm not sure "copyrighted" mathematics/graphs would ever really hold up in courts. I don't know how to really phrase this, but isn't maths mostly (completely?) dealing with "universal truths"?

It's possible.

On the top floor of a building I worked at long ago, there was a drain in the floor of the men's bathroom. It had a p-trap but on windy days there was enough vacuum from the vent stack to drain it out. I encountered a neighbor pouring a cup of water into it one day and he explained the problem. I started doing the same, and had to do it every couple weeks during windy periods.

But I think that's a problem for the upper floors, both due to fluid dynamics and because the first trap that loses seal would mostly restore equilibrium.
The camera analogy does work, but not in the way you said.

The specific technology, and more importantly the region, determine who exactly owns the copyright. In the U.S. if you press the shutter button, you own it. In France, the same is not always true [1]

Also, waterways and their adjacent lands are historically open to the public as a means of transportation, not for recreation or some other community notion of sharing pretty spaces.
System wide dark mode theme is only a recent thing. Browsers only recently added support for prefers-color-scheme to allow web pages to query system theme.
Presumably on a Visa transaction the payment provider takes a cut and Visa takes a cut. There's competition between payment providers to keep their cut down, but you can't charge Visa cards without Visa's help, meaning there's no competition on their cut. Unless a merchant is bold/foolhardy enough to decline Visa.

In the UK a lot of stores don't accept American Express due to their higher processing fees [1].

There are too many things wrong with that theory to be plausible. The same is true here.
it says "liquidity" which can imply IPO.
That's how many iPhone 4s Apple sold in its first 3 days. Google is activating that many Androids every 5 days. It's not a huge deal.

That said, the browser is apparently better than an "IE6.5"

According to Andy Lees the browser is "halfway between IE7 and IE8" which is a considerable improvement. Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10452710-56.html

Elsewhere there have been mentions that the next big software update, codenamed "Mango", which will apply to all WP7 devices, will bring the browser closer to IE9 with support for many HTML5 and CSS3 features.
Most of the time when I unsubscribe it is easy and respected by the sender. When it is not I resort to the gmail filters as a backup.
Couldn't you bundle webkit with your app?
I heard different statements about this.

Officially it's IE7, but some people said it has some old IE6 bugs in it.

Basically, it's probably just another mess that needs to be specifically targeted.
you can't really call it a trend with just accounting three days worth of data.
We could use pseudo pty’s to drive a remote bash through transpilation of a local shell if we wanted to fix that problem. It’s not unpossible.
Any system admin accessing to a server is able to take a copy of any data stored (or even transiently present on its network interface) on it.

If he is a spy/robber, if he is corruptible or threatened... a third party will obtain this copy. For the main culprit this doesn't induce any risk (where is the evidence?). This is absolutely not as with your bank, for example, which cannot really steal money without you taking notice.

How serious people are willing to store confidential data on any rented or hosted server is completely beyond me. Then some of their competitors' proposals are "just a little bit" better than theirs', or seem to have a pretty good grasp on some R&D or customer database.

Many here work on some cloud thing, most are honest and some will be upset by my comment. This is not about you but about rotten fruits in the basket.
You are gambling if you are risk-seeking. You are investing if you are risk-adverse.

Gamblers like the thrill of win-it-all or lose-it-all.

Investors minimize risk while accepting some risk as a cost for higher return.

Trading can be gambling or investing, or a combination of both.

WHAT?? This comment is apoplectic with contradictory statements and false beliefs. What could possibly be accomplished by it? It's an unapologetic rant on reading and writing on, of all places, one of the most text focused news and discussion sites on internet. Sheesh!

Clearly, for some people reading is not just for entertainment, or 'joy'. And, clearly, for some of these people, their joy is also writing about reading (hence the OP).

I do agree on one thing suggested by the response, though not said directly. Reading and Writing may converge into a bizarre infinite loop. If you find this maddening, rage inducing, then consider yourself warned! There is one book which you must not read. Dare I say it's name? YES! I DARE!

Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter [1]. It is not an easy read for the shitter. You may even need the assistance of this MIT Open CourseWare video series on YouTube [2] about the book.

Read this book at your own PERIL! Extreme brain expansion may occur. WHEW. (Now I'm going to site quietly and meditate.)

Yes. I think academic writing style and legal writing are carryovers from when the cognoscenti used Latin. It is elitist, in a sense, to obscure knowledge with an unusual style. Plain, precise, unambiguous language is preferable in all contexts.
Just tried both of these. Passiv requires me to link a broker account, and doesn't support my broker. M1 is US-only. Both non-starters. I just want to enter my trades by hand, I don't need a fancy auto-buy broker integration.
There was a physical median. "A separate bike path", not a bike lane. It crossed over using a driveway to a house along the road.
