Just speaking about engineering - I know a bunch of people who work in AWS/Prime Now infra teams. The opportunity to work on services of such massive scale is not something you can ignore. A lot of my friends have helped build a few AWS services from the ground up and the learning experience isn't something you would not appreciate. They definitely do technically challenging things.

Ah... it looks like this is relevant: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142056?hl=en

If I disable the built-in PDF viewer when I open that link, Chrome downloads it rather than trying to display it. So it looks like Chrome's built-in PDF viewer can't handle the PDF.

It is a bit misleading to label all private equity as "massively leveraged." None of the major investors in "unicorns" of VC use leverage (e.g. Uber https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/uber/investors). In fact, the typical VC fund is legally barred from using leverage in their investments.

The buyout side of the PE market is leveraged, however, the investments in those investors' portfolios typically have big balance sheets to support the debt loads (and the interest payments).
When KB3035583 GWX/Win10 Spam came out I removed it and put my updates into manual because I figured it won't be long before MS put out another updated to push Win10. This is much worse, now I find out there are a number of updates that I have to track down and uninstall. Going forward I will always have to lag a month or so behind updates to make sure MS is not installing a key logger on my Win7 computer. I guess my move to Linux is sooner that I thought.
The fact that there a plenty of dos games is not a reason to support it in the os.

If you're gonna look at crazy swings, I have an S&P smallcap 600 index tracking ETF that was down 40% at open. The index itself was only down a few percent, just buy that, wait for liquidity to return, and bam 30% ROI in a few minutes. Just had to be quick enough to get in before the halt.
"good enough for a good chunk of people" completely describes Gimp, Inkscape, and Blender, all of which are absolutely powerful and capable of (and actually used for) the highest level professional results.

That there are features and quality from the well-funded proprietary tools that are lacking in the free/open ones is undeniable. But the examples you chose are ones where if we had to use the free/open ones, we would be just fine. These are cases where free/open options are actually pretty darn nice.
Where would I go to get a job as a software engineer working on CRISPR simulations?
Still more expensive, still a smaller screen, a smaller and less able keyboard, still no mouse selection (e.g. a quick select these letters, copy and paste, takes much longer on an ipad), and you're now dealing with multiple parts and multiple batteries.

I don't really see the appeal over a Chromebook. iPads I'd love for e.g. reading books, watching course material videos (e.g. the Treehouse app for watching programming videos is wonderful until you get to the coding challenges) etc, but for doing work a keyboard makes the iPad a bit better but it doesn't come close to closing the gap to a Chromebook in my opinion.
On earth, a zero interest rate indicates a sick or at least stalled economy. The rate cannot be held at zero for much longer without risking a deeper debt via evermore unhealthy credit expansion, yet the consequences of raising it, even a little, will likely crush global markets as investors react etc. There is no question this economy is quite sick and has been breathing with aid of the Fed's iron lung so long that it probably can no longer sustain itself without resetting (hard).

They are currently optional - different than "Important Updates" and "Recommended Updates." I checked my windows update panel in Windows 7, mind you, (Start --> Control Panel --> Windows Update), and saw it listed as an optional update. I believe these optional updates, in windows 7 at least, are defaulted to be listed, but not downloaded or installed. I clearly won't be installing these, haha.

I doubt there are enough people who care. Google has already proved that seemingly benevolent spying is a highly profitable business model. Most people aren't bothered, or even know, that they are being "Scroogled". Microsoft is just following suite. Sadly it seems to be a sign of things to come.

The difference being that I want to use Windows only for games without all this other cloud integration crap that comes with it.

Steam OS is a Linux-based OS designed primarily for gaming. Any and all cloud-integration will be specifically gaming-focused.

Can you not see the difference between that and a general purpose OS like Windows harvesting data everything you do on your system?

I won't be using Steam OS to do anything very sensitive like sending or receiving personal e-mails, editing word documents or spreadsheets, or browsing the internet for whatever reason.

Unless you consider firing up a shooter or a city-building sim sensitive.

The two OS's have very different purposes and use-cases.
My point isn't that I personally find Linux too hard, it is that for a large chunk of people, switching to Linux is far too expensive and this makes predictions about the rise of Desktop Linux too optimistic.

>It would be interesting if they could find some food that flipped this on...

That might be good for the health side of the crisis, but the graphs of obesity correspond with food waste as calculated by the NIH. Only 30% of the excess calories have gone to making us fat, the rest is waste, so solving the health side alone will not fix the economic or environmental sides of the issue. This issue is discussed in depth at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPi1LQHBWBk
It has forms. The plugins choke on forms when the it is password protected from modification. Reader doesn't have that issue, only the plugins.

So if Elemental is a competitor to Bootstrap, would you be able to point out some reasons to use this rather than React Bootstrap? It appears the elements are almost identical to Bootstrap, but with far less number of them so far.

Semantic UI is a competitor as well, but that library has a number of styling options and UI features that Bootstrap does not have. Semantic doesn't seem to have a complete port to React yet, particularly with some of the more advanced controls (sidebar, sticky elements, certain modals, etc.)

"This package updates the Diagnostics and Telemetry tracking service to existing devices. This service provides benefits from the latest version of Windows to systems that have not yet upgraded. The update also supports applications that are subscribed to Visual Studio Application Insights."

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3075249

"This article describes an update that adds telemetry points to consent.exe in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1."

Historically we've always been in dark, uncharted territory.

There are only two things you can guarantee about the market: First, it will fluctuate. Second, those fluctuations will be unwittingly used as a Rorschach test by everyone with a political axe to grind.
We were also in uncharted territory when the stock market collapsed in 1929. The market had never crashed like that before.

The market had also never crashed like 2000 because the internet tech sector had never existed like that before.

The market had also never crashed like in 2008 because home loans had never been so lax in terms of lending such highly-leveraged loans to such low quality lenders.

Every new crash lies within dark, uncharted territory because no one can predict the future and a crash could only come about from a set of new circumstances we couldn't have predicted before (or else it wouldn't have crashed).
Software testing for complex, integrated applications? Go modular

Telemetry is clearly not a legal requirement. It's only data stored on steam servers (including chat logs) which you have to worry about.
"force both Mach3 and Windows to restart."

I would guess Windows is used for the higher-level functionality (GUI, possibly format conversions), while Mach3 does the lower-level stuff that requires precise timing.

Adding a second OS makes sense as it makes it way easier to keep the real-time stuff real-time.

Using XP embedded for the top layer shouldn't be that big of a risk. It may have lots of known exploits, but you can remove lots of the attack surface, and an alternative GUI may not have seen much security auditing.
If I recall correctly, the hackers wrote that they where morally outraged that AM was charging the users a deletion fee, and not deleting their data.

Except by releasing the users data, it clearly shows their motivation is more against the users, then any shady business practices.

It would be an interesting comparison, yeah. I haven't worked with CUDA much lately though. I was thinking of adding CUDA support so that Chlorine would default to CUDA on Nvidia cards, but it seemed of limited value.

There is nothing to be scared:

- Fluentd is an enterprise solution already adopted by thousands of users.

- Fluentd is sponsored and made by Treasure Data[0] where we collect around 800k events per second.

- You have to make a difference between what is official and what is third party. Fluentd have more than 300 plugins and is likely that you will find some differences on how each extension is used, but at the end everything is compatible. We make sure to maintain a clean list[1] of functional and maintained extensions.

The price is high because people expect to get money out of it, and more importantly to edge out other people for jobs because of having it. If people treat it like a certificate that says "I'm allowed to make X money" then it has high objective economic value and will become very expensive. In fact, more expensive degrees will signal more wealth and success.

If we treated it like a necessary component of responsible citizenship, the duty of society to generate an educated voting populace, it would be a lot cheaper and people wouldn't be so upset walking away from college "just having become educated and being better, wiser people" without a job-training certificate.

Alternately, we could remove art/non-engineering science/humanities and give up on the idea of education and just have vocational training camps so every citizen can become a happy capitalist worker bee doing whatever their betters see fit to train them in.
There's a moderate amount of evidence that the type of food plays a significant role in overconsumption of calories. One factor is differing satiation for the same number of calories, i.e. 300 calories of some foods make you feel fuller than 300 calories of other foods. There is also something specifically weird going on with a handful of foods that seem to promote ongoing consumption to degrees seen much less often with other kinds of food. Soda and salty/fat snacks are two where people are observed consuming huge numbers of calories in kind of a chain-consumption binge, which is much less often seen with, say, pork chops or broccoli.
What icon do you get on Windows? an iPod or some generic USB device icon?
I'm not sure you should choose a degree based purely on that anyway. Doing something you enjoy is important to stay motivated.

Another metric you could use is value for money. There is not a lot a CS course provides that you couldn't do yourself if sufficiently motivated. Whereas a Chemistry course provides a lot of facilities and kit. One of the reasons I went for EEE rather than CS. Pretty tricky to build a clean room or giant laser at home.
Just the name "consent.exe" itself sounds malicious (although it's been around for a while).
"Very sophisticated" simply means the responding officers didn't immediately understand the attack. That isn't a very high bar imho.

So while people are up in arms with Windows 10 and latest 7/8 updates, they are ok with giving children information to Google!?
If McAfee is correct in his analysis, it matters because it could help narrow down who did it.
The potential big difference here is that it affects people's work computers, where they do things for organizations that have a strong interest in keeping information from leaking out. Such companies probably were never happy with corporate data passing through Android smartphones, and might have forbidden it. Now they know they can't trust Windows workstations either.
I'd say that belonging to the polyamourous community is more likely to limit you in the "dating marketplace" than giving you more options. You're essentially excluding the vast majority of the population, which is very much not OK with it.

There have been ongoing refinery outages all across the country that are causing significant production delays. With people tending to drive more during the summer and taking advantage of relatively cheap gas prices, demand is hovering above average. Companies have been pushing refineries hard this past year taking advantage of the increased demand, which has led to lots of fires and mechanical/equipment failures. This has caused the price of gas around major urban centers like Chicago to shoot back up.

Edit: redundancy.
Ah, but those quants are going to make a bunch of money...

There's a cottage industry forming around finding market distortions caused by bad algos. You'd think that there wouldn't be a bunch of bots running around making stupid decisions, but there are a lot of bots that haven't been updated in some time and were put in place according to some idealized rule-based model in some esoteric area of finance that one guy came up with.

It's kind of like asking yourself seriously how many computers out there are running outdated software. The less fundamentals matter, the more computers handle various activities that have a more or less direct impact on prices of marketable securities, the more this is a valid strategy. It's basically anomaly detection on very messy data.

If transaction costs keep coming down and data becomes cheaper (both of which seem likely), trading as an independent might become less ludicrous than it is. And to be clear, it is currently ludicrous. Transaction costs will eat up any potential gains on the retail side unless you're operating with very large amounts of money.
Perhaps, less the arson. ;)

I don't know how you measure outcomes. As research facilities, employability is not a factor. I don't even know that studying anthropology and behavioral psychology is not effective at making people employable.

What I am saying is that the students, their parents, their government, society, expect that employability is an outcome of undergraduate education. This is why they are pouring so much resources into it. This is why it exists in the form that it does.

There is certainly room in the world for enrichment. I wish we had more of it. I'm always happy to hear about people taking time to do gap years, study tangental to career career goals. It's great. But, this is a consumption. It needs to be balanced with what you can afford and I think most undergraduate students cannot afford an undergraduate degree that does not leave them more employable in the long term. I don't think they signed up for that.

Lets be friends though, even if we disagree.
We don't need more stem graduates; employers of stem workers make the claim to drive down salaries of stem workers. Currently there is no shortage of highly educated stem workers; there is just a shortage of highly educated stem workers willing to work for minimum wage.

Disclaimer: I don't know much about this.

Let's say I'm 30 and want to save for retirement and let's imagine these crashes keep happening at around the same frequency (every 8 years or so?). This means when I reach my retirement age I might have to wait around 8 years for the market to rebound if I'm not lucky enough to buy my shares on the bottom of the charts, right?

The reason I'm asking is because I keep reading about how an index fund will eventually, given time, be worth it, even with these frequent crashes of late, but when I'm 60 it might not be possible for me to wait for a better time to cash out, in particular given my country's (men) life expectancy of around 75. In my view, this doesn't seem as safe as it sounds but I might be missing something.

Let's pretend I have my own retirement fund as a savings acount at around 1%, a very slow but pretty much safe growth. This way I might end up having with a more stable outcome when actually retiring which I believe is what most people would be looking like. I hate reading a market crash could wipe out poor and middle class retirement funds and have a hard time understanding the point besides greed or lack of knowledge.

Again, I'm most probably the one with lack of knowledge on this, just sharing my doubt as a very very conservative investor, if at all.
