Even if you have the right to do something, you can't threaten to do it just for personal gain. That's extortion. Oddly, there's an exception for threatening a lawsuit unless you get a settlement (if it isn't clearly baseless).
>The Linux windowing system is currently a gawd-awful mix of poorly mixed layers.

Yes, because the mix of X and Wayland being added to that is really going to improve the situation...

Like it or not, that system of layers is what makes linux feasible and viable in the first place. Each program/project doing specializing in one particular thing means each programmer specializes in one particular thing. If you want a monolith then you have plenty of other options, but linux is done this way by design, not accident.
Is it really "crazy people getting their way" when the crazy person complains, the school says, "oh yeah, it's banned, uh huh", and then everyone reads it anyway? To me, that sounds more like getting the crazy person to STFU as quickly as possible.

Sometimes you have to pretend to throw your principles away until the next shiny object comes along.
I think that's a great news. HTML5 adds lots of complexity in the browser, and yet don't address most of the fundamental problems of HTML: security, complexity. Web SQL was another step in the wrong direction.

Local storage wont go away. I hope Web SQL will be replaced by something "better" and more straightforward, A simple key-value database would be great.
yeah, X was developed with the server-client model in view and the scenario of the web currently fits in well with this type of thinking, so no wonder !
This spec isn't the only game for offline storage. IndexedDB is the favored replacement: http://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/

I like it because the API is much more web-like than SQL. Others have other reasons to prefer it.
I'm amazed that Picasa hasn't become dropbox quite honestly. It's such a common problem with photos (and files) to want them on multiple computer, and yet Picasa continues to have an outdated web albums concept with only 2 gigs of storage. Gmail has more.
The plan is that all 2200 checkpoints in the USA will have backscatter or millimeter wave scanners within 2 years.
The only person I'd call eccentric in this group is Steve Jobs. The others seem pretty normal. The tech industry could probably benefit from a few more truly crazy thinkers, people like Steve and maybe Ted Turner.

Yeah I feel that they are overzealous in closing useful (to me) questions, but its hard to know what the site would be like if they let discussions go--perhaps it would make it a lot more difficult to find the answer you're looking for.

It's pretty good, as a programmer I ditched Linkedin a while ago, I always get great opportunities from SO Careers, and always get spam (pretty much) and shitty opportunities from Linkedin, just being there, without actively applying to jobs.
Yes to all - thanks for the clarification. The only comment is that in large dimension cases shotgun might theoretically approach brute force, but it never does so because there are just too many places to start.
Thanks, "I would not call it a recursive function just because it calls itself; I'd call it a self-referencing function." - this cleared a lot of things. I'll a write an answer based on this and other things that I read. This will help someone someday.
Is this a sign of how little PayPal has innovated lately?
XFCE allows you to set a strftime string for date format.
If you own the media then you can sit back and relax. At most you'll get few days of moaning and things will go back to normal. Majority of people won't even know or connect things anyway.
If media are licensed, then they will never run anything that will upset government too much. I've seen this many times. Even if hostile nation's media pick up the topic and report it honestly, the government can dismiss it as a conspiracy theory or just say it is an attack.
Ultimately even if people see all the evidence, most of the time they'll pretend they didn't and stick with the status quo.
What I'd like to see in a soon-release:

- Time limits on websites. Despite being forced to use Webkit, Firefox doesn't support this somehow.

- Support for content blocking via third-party extensions
XPS are still very repairable. Not as nice as Latitude, but for example replaceing the battery or upgrading RAM only requires unscrewing the bottom (held on by about a dozen torx screws).
I do indeed have PayPal: jtunney@gmail.com Thank you for your support!
Mind sharing a bit more on your home setup?

Asking because I never saw the point in multiple container replicas for simple self-hosted stuff. One container each has served me well so far [0] (Nextcloud, Bitwarden, GitLab), and if they crash, they just get restarted. Multiple containers increase throughput, supporting more users, is that it? It just sounds nightmarish in regards to storage and parallel, conflicting writes.

[0]: One container per component (web, db, cache, ...).
Article from 2012, if you care
Imo they should have converted the targetted pages to a static cache and just document.body=page it, the users would notice (not able to access anything) and the pages would still be accessible on github.
Watch depths on watches are basically lies. Look at the "Water Resistance Classification" table in the linked "Water Resistance Mark" Wikipedia page. 50m means you can barely submerge it. 100m is snorkeling.

I learned this the hard way when I got a new 30m watch for a sailing trip and it died the first time I stuck my hand in water. Timex even used to print something like that table in the paper that came with the watch. So I'll upgrade my "lies" characterization to "shameless lies".

(That said, I want Apple to do better, and I expect they will in the future. Underperforming on the first products would be a disaster. Better to under promise.)
Still I'd rather be listening to a 80db combustion motor spinning up and turbo whining, occasional back fires, flames from exhaust etc.. than a 80db electric buzz box ;-) I'm sure most race-car fans would agree.
Typical Troll. Pretty much a flame-bait comment, with very (very very) few of the objective truths should that come with being a commenter.
That looks pretty cool actually. Is it really just a side project though? Could you provide us with some numbers?

They were both wrong.
I take issue with the word "stupid" being used this way to refer to the masses in design discourse.

People don't have to be stupid to be manipulated in the way the author suspected; it just takes being busy, having a specific goal that one wants to realize (buy software) and focusing on it, and not being particularly interested in the internal implementation details of the mechanism of manipulation.
Get alot of VC money.
I'm still not convinced, the argument is poorly reasoned. The PayPal button might just look oldish style on purpose because that would imply PayPal is the old player (thus more trustworthy) but it doesn't stand out more than the other buttons. Maybe it does look like a recommended choice just because it's the first one in the row.
There should be a hacker-developer version of this, to be published in hex by Google.

Tons of change for marginal gain. And of course the old stuff will need to be supported at the same time.
> I have personal knowledge that it's a factor at least at Google and Microsoft. As I understand it, Facebook and Twitter use it as well.

Nah, even dropouts are welcome at Google. A high GPA is a point in your favour, but not the only thing that matters. (At least once you have some experience. I don't really know how we hire fresh graduates. But as far as I can tell we take everyone who has a pulse and can program.)
This is true, but it's probably important to point out how unique the situation is for biologists.

We, quite suddenly, have the ability to generate large data sets to address very particular problems. Since each experiment is different, this process cannot be automated, but the basic workflow never changes that much. All we need is to ask some basic questions about the data; the more complicated stuff is generally not very interesting, or even harmful, as we're ultimately dealing with very blunt tools. We want to know about simple correlations, feed things into statistics libraries, and visualize the data with a few well-known tools.

The result is that anyone who takes the time to learn a little programming knows most of what they need to know. You learn a few good libraries and you're done. Bonus points if you write a script to automate your workflow a little.

I'm not saying this is uncommon, but it seems especially lucrative for biologists currently. Even if you're just putting libraries together like Lego pieces, you're getting a lot done. You don't need to proceed into programmatic thinking, thought the reward is certainly there.
I'd pay real money for a personal custom filter bubble which prevented me from hearing or reading anything about Trump ever again.
The second paragraph of the article refutes your initial statement. It contains "Boeing will pay a total criminal monetary amount of over $2.5 billion, composed of a criminal monetary penalty of $243.6 million, compensation payments to Boeing’s 737 MAX airline customers of $1.77 billion, and the establishment of a $500 million crash-victim beneficiaries fund to compensate the heirs, relatives, and legal beneficiaries of the 346 passengers who died in the Boeing 737 MAX crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302."
Are the remote roles open for Canadians or is this US based only?

I agree there is little understanding by some of how Adsense "works" and how $ from an advertiser ends up in a check to you from Google. Most people don't care however anyone running a business off of Adsense should know in detail how they work or you risk getting your business cut off like this. As others have said diversification of revenue is important especially if you don't have confidence in how the system works - example the stock market.

If you are releasing one or a few videos, revenue from Adsense is just about the only game in town. However if you have enough content that can survive outside of YouTube you create an opportunity to work directly with advertisers. Many video podcasters have moved this way, not hosting videos on Youtube and owning the ad relationships and revenue.
<< nor do I begrudge the author his income

I don't think any of us begrudge the author his income. I imagine many people are looking at that and thinking what I am which is "why couldn't I do at least as well".

This is much unlike reading xkcd, where I know quite well that I couldn't do as well.
This is a problem with LED lights, but it's not a problem with the technology.

LED are expensive now, but the price/performance ratio and efficiency are improving rapidly. And as the other poster said, when designed in properly into new installations they can have excellent performance. But their lighting and heat dissipation characteristics are so different that they really don't do well when retrofitted into fixtures that were designed for incandescents or fluorescents.

The problem is that most of the "LED bulb replacements" and fixtures available to the consumer now are low-efficiency, expensive incandescent replacements that only exist to capture the buyer's money, not to offer better performance.
I have been thinking of getting an Ipad for development purposes. Wondering if I should wait now till IPad 2 comes out.

The interest in this blog and self-publishing makes me think in all of the "2010" year in review stories I have been surprised how little attention Kickstarter has received. With the success of Diaspora ($200K) Glif ($150K) iPod Watches ($1MM) it seems like they are one of the major new developments in the world of tech and startups.

These all seem like edge cases, but think back to the first YC class that had 6-8 teams. It was an inauspicious start, but has become the shaping force in SV. Beyond the big 3 projects listed above there was also a book about Obama's design that raised $90K, a lockpick startup that raised $85K, and a bunch of other companies that raised nice sized "seed" funding. Think about what this model will look like in 5 years.
The phrase you are looking for is 'cumulative effect'.

Is that even true? Quick Google searches seem to show several instances of antitrust accusations against non-profits including trade unions and professional associations. There does seem to be a basic exemption for trade unions, but it seems that trade unions can lose that exemption for behaving in certain ways.
Yes, but analytics is also used to trick folks into buying a paper back full of shit.

A good product, that does what it advertises, does not need analytics. But a bad product, that somebody desperately wants to make successful, or at least successful enough to sell to a PE and exit, needs analytics.

I don't know about your brokerage, but my fidelity cash management account sweeps money into a set of FDIC insured bank accounts, which is a hell of a lot more than can be said for your coins. And anything that is parked in a security is protected by SIPC from the brokerage going insolvent.

What will happen to your assets if coinbase's systems become inoperable or if customers try to withdraw more coins than coinbase has on hand? Ask Mtgox customers how they feel about where to park coins.
If people are buying it then the argument can be made it is both useful and fairly priced to the customer. It’s not like the company has a monopoly on IDE configuration.
I wouldn't say france works and is efficient enough.
You can see the covid crisis as a revelatory of what doctors and hospital are going trough in france. underfunded, directed by people from business schools looking at profitability (less beds, merging services between hospitals, promoting their buddies/network, hiring people to recreate company-like hierarchy where you undermine anyone that is not in your team) the goal of the current government is to cut everything that they can and obviously they would love to have less public hospitals.

Not even talking about the building renovations that are near impossible, the medical devices that will never be next-gen and the idea of counting beds rather than patients.

Yes it works. it is not efficient. And it is putting immense pressure on doctors that are underpaid, underappreciated by management.

I can see where it is going and I think we will be very sad. They want all the bad sides of the american model + the bad sides of the french model. None of the good ones. And then on their business model and powerpoint the picture will look amazing. Just like any BS company tweaking their financials to look great.
I too wanted to see this work, but I was skeptical. Maybe it's just too ahead of its time?

> It would be better if it didn't talk to their servers

As long as you have a 'smart' phone, it will talk to servers.
Messages, email, contact sync, online backups, tools to give you trace possibilitiies if your phone is stolen ... everything needs some kind of server. And if you use an iPhone, a lot of those will be located at apple. If you use an android phone, those servers will be located at google (and possibly also at the hardware vendor eg samsung etc)

Aside from the whole 'company A can be trusted more then company B' thing which is in my opinion a personal matter, this specific item where apple will route the traffic to a 3rd party through apple to hide the ip etc of their customers is a good thing.

No idea.

Are all features available when writing the files in JSON format?

YAML is a catastrophe. I have spent hours trying to fix a whitespace error in a YAML file that silently changed the meaning of my document.

Canada returns the carbon tax as a refund. The idea isn’t to take money into the coffers but to make wasteful services more expensive at the point of sale than efficient ones.
That really depends, a lot of people generate too much solar during the day and typically feed it back into the grid for peanuts (especially in regions with high solar uptake, the wholesale cost of electricity gets towards zero in the middle of the day). Maybe more people doing this instead of feeding back into the grid in these places makes some sense.
This isn't investing, it's speculating. There's a difference.

Low interest rates are supposed to fuel growth of productive assets. Creating and expanding businesses that create products and services that people want.

Instead, disposable income and cheap credit are pouring into things like crypto, meme stocks, and sneakers. No new value is being created. These 'assets' only continue to increase in value because of currency devaluation and ponzi scheme like effects, i.e. new people jumping aboard the 'get rich quick' train.
What is the purpose of putting effort into such low bitrate audio?

A 3g connection on a decade old phone with a low signal strength might only get 50 kbps, but it tends to be bursty (ie. Offline for a few seconds, then a few hundred kilobytes arriving all at once).

That makes it impractical for audio conferencing. It might be useful for streaming YouTube, but for that it would need to be able to encode music and sound effects reasonably too.

Fast-forward to 5:50, you'll hear Brad explain this. I've met him at a couple TechStars events and he's taken calls mid-speech. He explained it and everyone thought it was funny.

Not that I know the guy personally, but I think he's far from pretentious and would argue that, besides Fred Wilson, he's one of the most accessible VCs in the game.

Thank you for this. I had been using different iOS apps for a while, some of them paid, and none of them really gave me the functionality I was looking for.

Thanks to your comment, I just tried MiniHack out. This app has beautiful typography, minimalist design and full account functionality.

The only thing I really miss after switching over to MiniHack is collapsing comments and threads. Otherwise, 9/10.

EDIT: Nevermind, just figured out how to collapse comments, it was different from other apps. 10/10 :)

I know regions are available for the UK on a daily basis (but not as a time series), so I'm planning adding that and recording the time series, though it does raise the question of inconsistencies in data between regional and national counts if I continue to use the national count from elsewhere.

I think I'll add testing figures as someone else suggested, though those are rapidly evolving and the latest figures I found were for March 19th.
Yeah, I should have written something like "source code available for self-hosting".

The important point for me isn't really if this is true Open Source or not, but that I usually want (even paid is OK) access to source code so that I can fix things myself, if I have to.

I'm not rooting against chloroquine (or any other therapy, and I don't think anyone else is either: you'd need to be a monster to want people to keep dying, keep getting sick, etc.

I am, however, vehemently opposed to sloppiness. It's tempting to say "The stakes are too high to be careful--let's just go with what've got" Nothing could be further from the truth--things need to be done carefully because the stakes are so high. Suppose we go all in on chloroquine and it doesn't actually work. Now we've got a big pile of useless stuff AND fewer resources, fewer staff (since they get sick too), and so on.
I am confused, because the big Office link from the main site goes to the same place.

Either way it is clear that unlike say Google Docs, the online versions of the apps are viewed as more of extensions to the desktop 365 apps instead of a standalone product.

In addition, if you use OneDrive (like Google Drive) creating an office document or viewing one goes straight to Office online and skips all these steps altogether.

$1 on Bitcoin ten years ago are worth over ten million dollars now. And I think people thought Bitcoin had potential, even back then. Definitely something you wouldn’t mind spending a few bucks on. But back in the day it was quite different for average folks without enough tech knowledge to mine or buy crypto.
