What issues? By "training" the person that contacts you it only affects their relationship with you, and has to be clarified for everyone you're in contact with. Some people will assume the rules that apply to them are the same for everyone else, unless you plan on explicitly defining your preferences to prevent misunderstandings.
In my area (north of SF), 911 calls from cellular phones get routed to a call center on the other side of the bay from me (if I recall right). This means that response time for 911 calls from a cellular phone are about 20 minutes, whereas response time for land-line 911 calls is about 5-10 minutes, because my local services can see from the land line my address, and dispatch someone Right Away.

Cardiac Arrest gets significantly more deadly after 7 minutes (I think?), and every second counts. A cellular phone is great in an emergency, but consider using a land line whenever possible.
Meetings, movie, recreation, ... coding in the zone ? Take your pick. But you might not wish to interrupt what you are doing right not any further. (But still keep a lookout for urgent things.)
Well, feminists want equal rights for women. A misogynist hates women.

One of those is compatible with the companies code of conduct and the other isn't. So I think it's fair to treat them differently.
Someone must have dug a hole and piled the dirt up.
I in the distant past when I was still in Uni attempted to do something similar, though I never finished it. I think I should take up my project again and try to finish it this time. I got stuck last time trying to figure out how to do a try/catch.

The one big thing I notice this is doing "wrong", is that it is not linear in recursion depth: Each statement increases the stack depth by 1. The way around this is to instead sequence the commands using arrays, since python guarantees the execution order is left to right. So his example could have been rewritten as:

(lambda s: [s.__setitem__('x', 3), s.__setitem__('y', 4), print(s['x'] < s['y'] < 5)])({})

(though for this example you could just modify the result of globals())

Then you can also do trickery to get for and while loops into generator expressions as opposed to lambdas. The hard part is handling continues and breaks. For instance:

while <cond>:
<stmts>

can get compiled into something like

list(<compiled_stmts> for _ in itertools.takewhile(lambda _: <compiled_cond>, itertools.cycle([1])))

(though you'll want to replace list with a function that evaluates the iterator but doesn't take up O(N) space where N is the number of iterations, something like a no-op accumulator)

To handle breaks and continues, you'd have to make your <compiled_stmts> be aware that a break/continue was called (a flag on some meta table was my plan), so they can terminate early. You'd also have to change <compiled_cond> to terminate the loop (on a break) and reset the continue flag.
When we can get a neural net to ask the right questions I will be satisfied.

Phonetic does not work also. Tried qrwa, qurwa, kuhrwa,. Nothing. They also find hui (russian) but not huj or chuj.
Skeleton's also nice at this:

Thanks. Yeah 1-way as default is reasonable. I suppose in my case I haven't seen performance issues due to data size, and also have taken to using RactiveJS which allows both 1-way and 2-way via [[someProp]] and {{someProp}}, respectively.
I know the EE space well in SF Bay Area (source - I was an internal recruiter for a hardware based startup). EE generally sits between 70-90k (but have seen people demand $120k), whereas software developers (especially mobile) is more like 90-120k (and for top talent sits around $150-200k). Depending on the financial health (i.e. funding) of the company, the full cost of an employee can range from 1.25x-1.80x their base salary. Hardware startups generally are stingy on their cost structure (and therefore probably skimp on benefits, bringing them down to 1.25x) because the cost structure is so high relative to software. For example, tooling costs could vary between $100-250k which is terribly difficult to estimate when you don't know the design or demand of your final product. The difference of $100k is...you guessed it...equivalent to a full additional human resource. Resource planning for hardware startups is scary.

I know for a fact finding talented EE people is possible at $75k, and that same level talent would most likely cost $100k for a software dev. Interestingly, there is a decent supply of EE talent out there, however due the varying degree of hardware applications finding the right person is more difficult than it seems on the surface.
No, it's because it hasn't actually been tested anywhere.

Since you believe it is such a good idea on paper, perhaps you can describe to us what the idea actually is? Because either it will be blatantly obvious you don't know what the idea is, or it will be blatantly obvious it does not match any of the places you might try to claim it has been tried.

> it requires unprecedented power to be put in the hands of a few despots

A society with power put in the hands of a few despots by definition is not communism, as a society that concentrates power with one group has class rule, and communism by definition requires the absence of class divisions.
Stuff written against angular 1.x should be good for years to come. I'm still using 1.2.x for compatibility with ie8.
what's a ABI? Application Brogramming Interface?
I know what they mean when they say 'it was always because we were using it wrong'. Last place I worked used Angular 1 for their product reboot, and any time I hit a dead end I'd lookup the problem on stackoverflow only to find I wasn't doing things 'the angular way'. Generally this would be because I'd decided to mix in JQuery and alter some of the visual tree myself (something angular is meant to exclusively take care of).

At the end of the day, when you're writing commercial software in a big team you are inevitably going to have to join up technologies whether you or angular likes it or not. Angular 1 decided to make this a PITA, so I can't ultimately recommend it for use. I haven't looked into Angular 2 though.
Can you expound upon your OS X comment?
That run-on sentence would have made my high school English teacher weep.
Ah good, it matches ‘perse’, which was a slight amusement when seeing the expensive clothing brand ‘James Perse’ while visiting the US :)
This is why I'm doing my best to hunker down. It's not that I expect a crash anytime soon, but I like to be prepared. Sadly I fall on the junior end of the engineering spectrum, so I have a lot of network to build and knowledge to gain. I'm not worried though. I know too many lazy engineers and people who burn through money.
NO INTERNET in same room as dev computer.

That one doesn't seem like a good idea, better work on impulse control if one can't stop himself from checking his facebook every 2 minutes than shooting yourself in the foot by cutting off an invaluable tool like internet.

It's like turning off the heating to avoid sleep-deprived developers falling asleep: a short term solution that doesn't solve the root of the issue.
I hate read receipts and disable them where possible too. A pet peeve of mine is people who demand read receipts in Outlook. There is no way I'll ever send that person a read receipt.
It would be unsafe to type a response, but reading a message in my opinion is fine. Similar to glacing at a GPS.

As a cyclist and a former driver, neither is acceptable.
Since when is this limited to "email"? Why are you ignoring programs like COTRAVELER (which only requires metadata)?
The only reason I keep Windows at all is for gaming. Would games meant for Windows be able to run on this OS?
You're right, they did. However it's still made up - you can clearly see the four CPU cores underneath the "LTE / Adreno" section.

Also looks like they posted some actual benchmarks. The numbers do look pretty impressive. I'd also like to see some results compared to shaders - some of them (histogram) are not a very good fit, but many of the other convolutions would be.
Well, the US population can continue to grow until overcrowding becomes a problem, or food becomes a problem, or energy becomes a problem, or nobody wants to live here anymore. The first three seem a long way out; the fourth might arrive sooner...
This is interesting, even if they oversubscribe I'm going to assume that there will be rather large peeks and valleys in utilization of this equipment.

I wonder if they will "rent in the valleys" for a discount? I can think of lots of offline processes that don't need to be as timely that could leverage cheep infrastructure.

Fixed: Have a look at ReactOS, a free open source OS that ideally will be binary compatible to Windows if it attracts enough talented and interested developers and gets off the ground.

ReactOS is nowhere near usable as an everyday operating system; the site you linked to even says: ReactOS 0.3.17 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.
The idea that Microsoft would capture all audio depends on the company being simultaneously malicious enough to bug your computer while being honest enough not to lie about it. The truth is that they would have had the ability to do this type of thing for years. If Microsoft had an intention to do evil things, why would the bring attention to the fact by spelling out the possibility of them doing evil things during installation of their software?
You can just turn off location services on android. However, we also began with almost no privacy expectations on phones from the beginning of smartphones.

The difference here is that people using Windows in the past did have an expectation of privacy, which is no longer the case. Also, privacy is being retroactively removed.

At the end of the day, it is their product and they can do whatever they want with it. People are free to migrate away to Linux.

I wonder about the no carb craze. I lost a significant amount of weight (90+ lbs) over 6 years ago, and I've kept it off. I limit my caloric intake, work out regularly, and weigh myself 3 times a week.

But I still eat carbs. I avoid any processed carbs like the plague, and stick to home made whole wheat bread (literally 100% whole wheat flour) and pizza dough. I also only eat whole wheat pasta and brown rice. It seems to work. My stomach however is not scuplted, it has some softness to it, which I was told was the loose skin from losing weight. I wonder if cutting carbs completely would eliminate it..
Wow, that is a stunning picture. It looks like a bullet hole in a windshield (top pic). What I don't get is if that is water ice why it isn't sublimating off at a huge rate.

I would love to be, in a space craft, right there and be able to say, "Oh hey, that looks really interesting, lets go down and check it out. Sulu, you've got the helm."
It would be interesting to see benchmarks of sparse operations, as well.
As far as I know, that should be okay. Browsers don't query the database online like some RBL, but download it locally and check visited sites against a local copy. No URLs are sent to Google.

Which is - as far as I know - is very different from how Windows anti-malware system works. At least I think I saw a network requests from Windows 8 machine when "untrusted" applications (.exe) were started.
The dramatic shift from version 1 to 2 is generally a sign of design mistakes. Angular 1 should have been angular beta.
IP Lookups are incorrect

Ex : India.gov.in [from suggestions] is on 164.100.129.97 / Page traces to some IP in China (Hysterical)!
Phone calls on the other hand are way more intrusive than text messages and I hardly ever answer any call because of it.

... which is an infuriating habit and a huge impediment to work.

E.g., Your job has run away with our timeshare. Your email program is closed, you aren't signed onto IM, and you blithely ignore your ringing phone. I have to file a service ticket, summon support from ten timezones away, and it gets killed in a half hour. Or if you picked up the phone, you could have killed it in ten seconds.

E.g., We are having a discussion about a critical decision. We wage email wars back and forth for days, each getting more disturbed that the other is completely misunderstanding some key point. Or if you picked up the phone, we might have easily sidestepped the miscommunication and reached an immediate understanding instead.

If nothing else, a voice on the phone humanizes you more than Times New Roman 12pt, which reminds people they are working with other humans- and that in itself can nip issues in the bud.
New hardware is always easily more impressive to people that software too, and case in point that pressure pad looks amazing.
Can you explain what you mean with "Highway CNN"? It's the first time I've heard the term and Google doesn't help much either.

That's just your opinion. 90% of the apps in Google play are junk that don't respect user rights or privacy.

I'm perfectly content using only the apps available in F-Droid, and have been for years.

Rust works fine with Cortex-M3/M4 (a bit larger than dsPIC, and their documentation isn't as nice as Microchip's). Library support isn't great though - try zinc.rs or roll your own. An STM32F4 Discovery board is $15. Just in case you didn't have enough to play with...
This would make things very different.

However I've not seen any suggestion that this is happening, nor is dragnet surveillance in any way a pre-requisite for this sort of thing.

It isn't the lack of means that stops democracies becoming dictatorships.

It's very telling that you get a 3 year free Google Drive storage account with 1TB or so storage instead of more local storage on Chromebooks.

The terms of service allow them to mine all your documents etc. for keywords once it's in their cloud. Otherwise why would they sell Chromebooks at or below cost.

How naive it is to believe that Microsoft will obey these settings? It is very time-consuming to make sure if they fulfill the promise because that requires reading disassembly as Windows is closed-source. And, even if they were caught not following the settings they could use the word "bug" as an excuse.

Also, it should be emphasized that providing options to disable privacy-invasive features doesn't justify invading the privacy of the non-tech savvy people, who cannot disable privacy-invasive functionalities.
For those who don't get the reference, there is an urban legend that the Chevy Nova sold poorly in Spanish-speaking countries because "no va" translates to "no go".
Nah, it actually sounds more like 'emmerdeur'

A bit of trivia, there's a radio that is called NRJ which sounds like 'énergie' when you say it (in French)
OT, but let me mention this: the contrast of white on blue on this page is so strong it made me close it.
I will buy this as soon as it can initiate network connections.
I dislike contact states personally. They are mostly noise. People set them, don't set them, forget they set them, had some program set them etc.

For me it is fairly simple - usually texts in my company are higher urgency, location agnostic, communication. Only reason I would text is I need someone sooner than they see an email/Lync message, but I don't need them urgent enough to interrupt with a call. "I'm running late from this meeting, can we delay?", "you ok for lunch in 5?" etc. people typically respect that rough, unexpressed, protocol.
This is an issue of boundaries on the receiver's side. Other people's unreasonable expectations are not binding on us. Otherwise we quickly become enslaved to everyone else's whims, which is no way to live and certainly no way to succeed at anything.
Exactly because we don't even know what does it do. (Hey, had anyone did a protocol analysis and/or telemetry binaries reverse-engineering already?)

Do you want your machine to send some information, derived from your personal data, at third-party discretion - without you knowing what exactly is being sent?
Unfortunately McCarthy wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, the gay stuff was particularly silly. On the other hand he was 100% right about the CPUSA, about soviet spies infiltrating the government, etc. Between Venona and the Soviet intelligence archives we know that he was spot on. The much-maligned HUAC even found the Soviets' most valued asset, Alger Hiss.

So yeah, a bit overzealous. The whole circus didn't last long, anyway.

They may have grabbed it at the gate, or even after boarding. Makes identification much easier than wandering the lounge.
Really good explanation of all the costs people don't think about. Don't be disheartened. Take those numbers and work them down. Get the overhead cost down by doing it yourself and using consultants. Get the manufacturing cost down through dogged engineering and adjusting your product spec. Write a product strategy that allows you to ramp up toward retail availability, even if it takes several products to get there.

Yes, you will likely fail if you've never done this before and you're trying to make a consumer-quality product. So get experience with an intermediate step or two.
Yes, Windows Defender on Windows 10, mainly for daily scanning purpose. I don't enable the real-time protection though.

I don't run untrusted executables without scanning them, or runing them on VM first. Better safe than sorry.

Please stop using HN to conduct ideological tirades. You've been crossing into personal attacks, taking discussions into flamewars, and behaving high-handedly. None of this is good conversation.

Everyone with an agenda thinks that they're enlightening the world with their rhetoric ("in the desperate hope that some young people will read this and understand") and imagines themselves surrounded by enemies ("this is one of the most heavily Progressivist boards on the entire Internet") while they of course are simply offering "facts". What's striking is how predictable this pattern is and how little it depends on the content. You could easily, and many do, have the opposite politics and behave the same way and make the same claims about other people. On HN this typically includes self-flattering interpretations of downvotes.

This is little different from preaching on a street corner, haranguing passers-by. When passers-by react badly, it's apparently irresistible to conclude that they're cretins. But really it's just that most of us don't like being preached at. I'm sure many of the people downvoting you agree with at least some of your views. But when you're trying to have an interesting conversation and ideologues show up with megaphones, it's a real bummer. And HN being a public forum, it's not like there's a quieter street corner we can all retreat to.
Revolutions are horrific for the common person.
They're not sure it's ice yet, and it seems like it's more likely to be something else:

the Dawn science team has not found evidence that is
consistent with ice. The spots' albedo -­ a measure of
the amount of light reflected -­ is also lower than
predictions for concentrations of ice at the surface.

caveat: this is from a separate article, but I think they are referring to the bright spots in general: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4677
Not really, what I meant was that it's pretty easy to go over O(n) without ever duplicating any code. Like just imagine if you had a string literal that held all the numbers from 1 to n^2.

- New faster execution engine, especially for large complex queries

- Dynamic partition optimization

- Federated querying from Google Cloud Storage

- Obsoleteness of the EACH keyword

- Numerous UI improvements

- BigQuery Slots - an offering to guarantee availability of resources for SaaS and ETL workloads

- High-compute workloads and supporting pricing model

- Increased query limits for higher concurrency

Because of the ongoing investigation, Kim’s name was in DHS’s case management system, which meant Special Agent Hamako would receive an automatic email if Kim was booked on a flight to or from the United States. Some time later, the agent received an email notifying him that Kim was going to return to the United States in November 2012, and that he would be departing LAX for South Korea on December 5, 2012. [...]

On December 5, 2012, working with a LAX duty agent and Customs and Border Protection officers, Special Agent Hamako conducted the planned search of Kim as he departed the country. First, he searched Kim’s checked luggage, which was located behind the check-in counter with Korean Airlines. [...]

Next, Special Agent Hamako stopped Kim on the jetway between the gate and the airplane as Kim was boarding his flight. He identified himself and asked Kim if he had any electronics, to which Kim responded that he had a laptop. Special Agent Hamako told Kim that he would be detaining the laptop pursuant to a border search and that he would return it once the search was complete.

There are usually no checks when you leave the country, but they do happen sometimes. Once when I flew out of Philadelphia, there were people at the jetway wearing some kind of uniforms, who asked to see everybody's passports. No idea what they were looking for.
I think I did some classes of the data science nanodegree (forgive me for not remembering the exact name) and I found the quality to be on par with other courses.

But having taken a dozen of them on coursera, I feel there isn't really a standard that is declining, it's just that
some classes are fantastic, some not very much so, and it has been like this since the beginning.
Paid App to do Haskell? pfft.
True. I wasn't clear, but it was more a criticism of the project's management, which iterates far more slowly. But still, that's why I mentioned it had been a few years -- so anybody could dismiss my experience as they wished.

fwiw though I took a quick look at their -stable forums (http://chakraos.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=32) and there are several recent threads related to updates breaking things. I realize that will to some extent be a problem on any platform, but it seems disproportional on Chakra.

And in any case, that probably makes it a poor recommendation for Linux novices switching from Windows.
What really sets it apart is the robustness & cleverness, IMO. While delivery is not guaranteed, it's generally extremely reliable even with awful connections, and from what I remember it piggybacks on an existing communication channel meaning it was a "for free" extension of the original network.
