This may not apply anywhere else (though I suspect it does), but in the Netherlands the office space market is deliberately kept obscure due to the much higher supply than demand. Many thousands of square meters of office space are currently vacant, and real estate investors are terrified of the paper value of that office space collapsing.

As a result, cost and availability are deliberately kept obscure. Cheap small office space is abundant, but usually not offered publicly. You have to ask, and then you get things like "sure, we can split this huge space into smaller units", or "we'll throw in x-months free rent" (so they can officially keep the rent, and therefor the value, high).
Uh..yes, I meant much higher, not much lower :(
Maybe the intent wasn't to make fun in a malicious way. If hackers can't have a little fun at their expense, who can?

Complaining about `three = 1` was a complete miss though.
That this was posted to make fun of the logos is one possibility, but I'd prefer to think that the poster might have wanted to simply bring attention to it. Knowing there's a problem is the first step toward resolving the problem, right?

I completely agree that the GNU projects are very useful. That said, no matter how useful and valuable a product is, all that value is simply lost if no one uses it. Making these projects more attractive to people not already familiar with them will help them to flourish the way that they should.
IDK, with Google seemingly doing their best to wreck their own video stuff, I think we're stuck with Zoom.
Apple acquired all of the technologies used in the production of the Apple Watch ?

Call me crazy but I think they have just a little bit of experience at high end industrial design and electronics learnt through the production of the iPod, iPhone and decades of building Macs. Likewise absolutely no talented designers, materials experts or manufacturing gurus would ever be attracted to a company which prides itself on doing cutting edge work at a global scale.

But hey I am sure Apple Watch won't sell at all and definitely won't be making money on those Edition versions.
Implement a type PossibleTragedy in your What_do_I_do interface.

A trapdoor back door would require knowing some secret value. It is very much possible that this secret value could remain secret by not being written down in any electronic document. It would exist on some code breaking hardware, but like the cocoa cola recipe it could be known by only a few people in the world and still be useful.
I’ve worked at a company Samsung ended up buying. Exactly as you describe: humiliating, alienating, and infantilizing. Never ever again. And I won’t buy Samsung anything if I can help it because I saw how the software is made… it’s appalling in quality. No thanks.
This isn't really an example of that, though. This is just a clear cut 6th (and probably more) amendment violation by the government.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this.
While that's true, it's also outside of the spec and no one would certify or stand by such an installation.
The Django code use only compression algorithms already included in the Python standard library to avoid unnecessary dependencies.
> They cared that abuse of power against the unpopular is an inevitable slippery slope towards abuse of power against all citizens.

They also have to care about having a case that will win and not lose and set bad precedent.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is stacked against them and they have to have cases that will provoke public outrage if it goes the wrong way to prevent the court from going too far off track.

Having sympathetic defendants is unfortunately something required for right now.

There is a reason why you know about Rosa Parks and not Claudette Colvin.
Loans help small businesses the same way it helps the large businesses to buy time / ride the crisis. You have a lengthy pay back period and the interest rate is zero - offers liquidity. Many small businesses have only 30- 60 days opex as cash.

Freezing the debt obligation helps too - but it is harder to implement that since there are many parties involved in that transaction.

I've been using Spotless, which has been working well enough.
that's definitely a valid concern, but i'm not sure we've reached that point. the constant pressure is certainly needed to get these companies to innovate away from products based on invasiveness and surveillance, or to have new companies pop up to out-compete them.
Wouldn't it be better to have skilled scientists than passionate scientists?
GTK3 is becoming very GNOME3 specific, while Qt5 is still agnostic and easy to port on different platforms.
To be fair, the market isn't pricing deaths of old and sick people. It is pricing the suppression of economic activity as a result of the lockdown. If the whole of the US were really infected by May and if by June the lockdown would be off and the virus in the rear mirror, you would see a big market rallye.

> I think there are enough examples of scientific fields emerging from technological innovation that "uselessness" should not be considered correlated with innovation.

I was going to cite lots of "useless" stuff that suddenly became really important when some "blocking technology" got removed, but "useless" is the wrong problem and phrasing.

The problem really is: "How do you compensate someone who tackles a big problem but winds up making no progress or even being wrong?"
The only way to stop the spread is to have accurate testing and a population willing to abide by quarantine measures on a voluntary basis when tested positive as well as immediate tracing of contacts. Anything less than that and the spread will continue.
I don't think you understand what "moral relativism" means. There was nothing implying such in the post you replied to.

In fact, it's anti-relativist to say that a certain law is immoral.

The bane of my existence at the moment is the fact that I
have this HUGE Boost dependency in my code, even if I'm
only using a few packages... It just startles me that
there isn't a single, consolidated package manager...

Sincerely, I have never understood this common complaint about C++ (applies to C as well, actually). My OS comes with a huge repo of C++ libraries. For example, there is a separate package for each of the Boost libraries you used as your example. Why do I need a C++-specific package manager? What's the use case? Windows?
When someone is blatantly exhibiting cognitive dissonance and reasoning has failed to sway them why not tease them a bit? They deserve it.
Can you post a link to the picture of the side vents? I thought all rMBP has vents in the screen hinge area. Also does this feature exist on 15" rMBP too?
Is it really disabled though? The hardware is still there unless you extract the chip itself. For example, Intel's AMT exists at a level so far below the software and UEFI/BIOS that you can have just power and Ethernet/wifi plugged into the board, and it will "phone home" if it is configured to. Boards with GSM modules can even be controlled remotely via SMS commands.

I realize that TPM and AMT are completely different animals, but AMT shows us that a low level "security" device on board can potentially mean compromised privacy and loss of control.
Thomas goes on to describe the sheer scope of Facebook and Google's market power, citing Facebook's roughly 3 billion users and Google's 90% market share in search. "It changes nothing that these platforms are not the sole means for distributing speech or information. A person always could choose to avoid the toll bridge or train and instead swim the Charles River or hike the Oregon Trail," Thomas writes. "But in assessing whether a company exercises substantial market power, what matters is whether the alternatives are comparable. For many of today's digital platforms, nothing is."

Thomas states that in order for an account like @realdonaldtrump to be truly classified as government controlled, "the power of a platform to unilaterally remove a government account" would have to be "reduced."

Is this true? Do automotive companies use leading edge nodes, because they're experiencing a shortfall too.

New York Times [1] -- March 24, 1990:

"A Federal judge today dismissed almost all the closely watched copyright lawsuit filed by the Xerox Corporation against Apple Computer Inc. [...] Even if Xerox prevails on the one count it can still pursue, it cannot win much because the judge threw out all the counts seeking damages, attorneys involved in the case said. [...]

Xerox had sought to have Apple's Macintosh screen copyrights declared invalid, contending that they were fraudulently obtained because Apple had failed to tell the Copyright Office about Xerox's prior work. Xerox also accused Apple of unfair competition, saying that Apple's claim to Macintosh screen technology had made it difficult for Xerox to license its technology to other companies."

I think the Wikipedia article on Apple v. Microsoft says it best:

"Xerox's lawsuit appeared to be a defensive move to ensure that if Apple v. Microsoft established that "look and feel" was copyrightable, then Xerox would be the primary beneficiary, rather than Apple."

The problem of interest to the OP is not determining the truth value of sentences in Presburger arithmetic (that is, sentences using addition, equations/inequalities, Boolean operations, and the quantifiers "There exists an integer such that" and "For all integers, it is the case that"), which, although algorithmically decidable, is nonetheless in general very computationally taxing (the time to compute whether such a sentence is true or false is doubly exponential in the size of the sentence).

Rather, the OP is simply interested in carrying out arithmetic calculations of a sort which are trivially computable (after all, the inputs the OP is dealing with are the very programs which would compute the answer!), but notes that one can in a principled way transform naive specifications of these computations (including loops like "Do this a million times") into faster methods of attaining the same answer (by thinking of such loops as matrix exponentiations and then using quick, rather than naive, exponentiation).
The link you gave actually has 20,000 points of data on that graph. The example is interactive so go ahead and change line 45 or line 65 to something bigger then click the green button if you want to see a bigger data set. I love how their examples are interactive right on the page.

Not quite the exact thing you want, but all image uploads on Gurlic are directly linkable. And they end up under the user's `/images` endpoint too.

For eg:

All exif/metadata is stripped, but there is a bit of compression. I think I'll allow high-res images if people care enough to use it. I should implement pasting/dropping images too. Didn't think of that before..

Apple sells hardware. They are a hardware company, who realized early on that they need to ship great software to go along with their hardware.

They are not interested in new users on devices which don't increase their hardware-sales.

They are also not interested in selling your private information. They. sell. hardware.
Sounds kind of like this paper from 2015[1], which has been a source of inspiration for me for the last 5 years since I read it.

I've never been to Boston but the description you give sounds a lot like London to me. Within the M25 (inner ring), London is mostly 2-3 story terraced houses with a few apartment buildings (don't think they go bigger than 8 stories) and taller social housing buildings. It's mostly dense but also plenty of green space and each neighbourhood feels mostly like a village within a city: ie a local high street, parks, schools, halls, religious centres etc within 15-30min walking distance. Of course it's not perfect and pre-pandemic the Tube was insane, but I'll take it over living in a car-reliant suburb any day.
I very much wish someone would investigate this "legitimate interest" crap that I have to always turn off now (one by one usually).

Find me just one person who is legimitately interested in these "legitimate interest" tracking things.
After 2020, I've talked with a number of friends about what the future of remote work looks like. I can't help but wonder if it looks like this. The anti-overwork provision (creating 20 hrs/wk over time and allowing but disincentivizing going over) and single metric (total creator revenue) seem like major wins for me. Do others think that more companies will begin to go in this direction? Something about it seems so much more simple, sustainable and elegant.
Company provided health insurance creates incentives for employees to delay leaving and stay in jobs they don't like anymore. This lowers the quality of life for everyone involved.
> In order for police to detain people they need to place them under arrest

That is not true. Police can detain you for some period of time without placing you under arrest. You can be detained for “reasonable suspicion” that you were involved in a crime. There are naturally a lot of arguments about what qualifies as reasonable suspicion.

This is why every “know your rights” organization instructs people to ask, “am I being detained? am I free to leave?” when trying to determine their status or end a police encounter. The link below is just one example.

Of course it's for increased shopping through mobile. My daughter bought a Kindle and she admitted her ebook purchases have increased tenfold. Others have told me similar.

I'm deathly afraid to get one for the same reason.

Frictionless purchases and vertical channel integration makes perfect sense to me.

Any language is a waste of time if it doesn't have any features you'll miss when you aren't using it. At that point it's just a Blub you're applying out of expedience, not learning anything from to expand your repertoire.
If they can be that dominating in 5 years, there's no reason they can't be eclipsed by another company in the next 5 years. Myspace is an apt comparison.

Isn't all of Hacker News a recommended reading section? You can post a link to the amazon page or better yet, to a book review.
I love this idea! I am in a similar situation as the original poster. I thought college was the only answer, went to a private college, racked up about 150,000 (after interest) in student loans, got a degree in forensic science, but have nothing to show for it. The jobs are hard to find in michigan, an they don't pay a decent amount if I want to start paying off my loans. So...back to square one, I work in a hospital as a nursing assistant and I am on the waiting list to get into a two year nursing program so that at least I can work hard at that and make a decent amount of money, especially with overtime. That is my only hope, but until then, I am suffering and unable to pay most of my debt, so I have put off paying all of it. I really wish I would have made different choices, had some guidance. My life feel ruined and unbearable most days. I am not a writer, but starting a blog may be a very good idea, so that I can try to guide others so that nobody ever has to feel this hopeless. I am clueless with the blog thing, how do I start, and what website do I go to that can walk me through starting one?
The signal to noise has grown much louder. 25 friends in 2005 was worth about 2000 now. I liked it a ton in college when it was just for college students, but now it just seems awkward to talk to everyone you've ever met in your life in one social space. That should only happen at weddings and funerals.
This is interesting because I've been working on a project that uses ArrayBuffers and I noticed an odd behavior while doing random read with Firefox 4 on Linux (issues does not occur on OSX).

I hope more information and testing will come out but it's quite sad to see these new array type perform so badly. But then again they are so new and most of the speedup work focus was probably on the old javascript array type.
Well, as we all know, there are only two possibilities. Either it does, or it doesn't. That means it's a 50/50 chance for it destroying the earth.

I don't know where you live, but in the US it's quite common for police officers to be held to a lower standard. I have relatives on the force, and if they're speeding and get pulled over, the arresting officer will let them go. Similarly, a cop can force you to pull over and stop what you're doing for any reason at all and even physically abuse you if you are even slightly uncooperative, but interrupting or resisting a cop will get you arrested, and you're out of your mind if you expect a police officer to be as accommodating to you as you must be to them. You can't even hold a cell phone in their presence.

If you want to assert that they are held to a higher standard, I would like you to support that assertion.
Perhaps, but then again so is "Become an Eagle Scout" vs "be a loser your whole life".
I agree with the gist here - RescueTime probably isn't a very good cross-section sample of the population at large. But is it strictly true that there are far more users of Outlook than Gmail? It certainly isn't true that Gmail is "one of the least popular webmail apps;" I think you mean that Gmail is only the third most popular webmail app, behind Yahoo! and Hotmail, and that each of those have almost three times as many users as Gmail. [http://www.email-marketing-reports.com/metrics/email-statist...] But Gmail's user base is approaching 100 million; that's not exactly a tiny amount. And I honestly have no idea how many users Outlook has; I'm aware that Office holds down about 90% market share in businesses in the US [http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/166123/forrest...] but how many users does that translate to? And how many are there worldwide? I don't think you can just assume that there are more than 100 million; maybe somebody knows something I don't. I'd like to see some data.

My instinct is that webmail, mostly in the hands of Hotmail and Yahoo! mail, has long eclipsed local email programs (like Outlook) in the minds of most users in the world. Gmail was a late comer to this game, and doesn't have nearly the users they do; when you think about 500 or 600 million people the world over using Hotmail and Yahoo! mail, it's hard to believe that local email programs even come close.

Edit: sorry, rereading, now I realize maybe you mean Microsoft has far more users than Gmail. Which is absolutely true - there are around three times as many people using Hotmail as there are using Gmail.

It's not a short time because the train's fast, it's short because it's not very far. And the claimed speed advantage is based on a somewhat gerrymandered definition of "central london".

The express is sometimes worth it, but it very much depends on where you're going; the express simply dumps you out at Paddington which does not have great onward connections. Whereas the Piccadilly line, being a tube line that goes right through the centre, can often take you directly where you want to go (particularly as a tourist) - Piccadilly itself, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Kings Cross, ...

Yes it is, in my opinion. It's up to the owner of the intellectual property to decide who can have access to his or her property, not you. If you refuse to accept the conditions that's fair enough, but in that case still accessing the copyrighted material is taking something that you're not entitled to.

I don't agree with the behaviour of the recording industry or with criminalizing the general public but simply taking something that's not yours is not the right solution, in my opinion.
