Phil joined Genesis as the drummer in 1971 at the same time as guitarist Steve Hackett, and both play on the band's third album, "Nursery Cryme". Phil even sings a song on that album, "For Absent Friends" [1]. The band records "Foxtrot" which includes the epic 23-minute long "Supper's Ready" [2] and then the album "Selling England by The Pound", which contains two of early Genesis's best songs "The Cinema Show" [3], which has an extended keyboard solo, and "Firth of Fifth" [4], which has the Hackett's most famous guitar solo. After the next album, a double concept called "The Lamb Lies down on Broadway" (consistently rated as one of the best prog rock albums) Peter Gabriel leaves and has a successful solo career. The band continues with Phil as the singer and, after Hackett leaves a few years later, they become more pop focussed, and have a load of hit singles in the 80s and 90s.

HDMI 2.0 support is supplied by the motherboard, and not a required feature. Skylake's Alpine Ridge can drive two 4k 60hz displays, and supports HDMI 2.0 operation.
Hmm, I'm always a bit cynical of how deep you can really look into such "team based" tests. I've been on both sides of them in various environments, commerical and military - and I find their utility to be minimal at best. I think Daniel Kahneman probably does a much better job than I can do about explaining why they are flawed in "Thinking Fast and Slow." Summarised a bit here:

Actually, the issue mentioned by the OP is covered here:

http://golang.org/doc/faq#nil_error

Basically, if you pass 'nil' of one type into an argument which accepts an interface of another type, the nil is no longer nil, but an interface wrapper around a nil (which is not nil).

So:

var buf *bufio.Reader // a nil value

if this is passed into a function with a signature of

func foo(buf io.Reader)

then when in function foo:

foo(buf) // valid, and buf is nil here

//inside foo:

if buf != nil { // but buf is not nil here, so this is true
buf.Read() // Panics because nil has no function Read.

I was able to make decent money off of the AH the summer it went live. I would buy inexpensive, low-level legendaries off the Gold AH and sell them for ~5 bucks on the RealMoney AH. I wasn't making $200 a day, but I made enough for a couple months of rent.

For desktops, sure. But the desktop form factor is dying.

Where it matters is mobile. Even if you have a dedicated graphics processor, it makes sense to have integrated and then to have it auto-switch as needed. This saves on electrical power, reduces heat, and may extend the life of your mobile devices (since heat is damaging).

Ultimately if your want to force-on dedicated 24/7 then normally you CAN, but integrated simply gives you more options if you wish to extend the battery life of your device significantly.
Apps need access to the system keychain to do things other than store passwords, (accessing certificates for authorization is a common one), and those connections sound like the automated update checks based on their behavior. (Which I don't think you can disable- but why the hell would you?)

If you want to test that, temporarily disable the little snitch rule and keep an eye on the top right hamburger menu - it'll turn green or orange if updates are pending.

It sounds like you've decided to treat Chrome as a hostile app and are going to evaluate everything it does negatively in that light. If that's the case, why not just uninstall it?
I'm a bit skittish about tools like this.

We started using one for C# a while back, and discovered a couple key problems with it. First and foremost, sometimes its edits were not safe to do in the context - either that commented code really was important to keep around for some specific reason (e.g., it serves an explanatory purpose), or sometimes the changes were not truly behavior-neutral and would therefore introduce subtle bugs.

In light of that, I'm moving away from thinking that using tools like this as a sort of spray-on tan for cleaning up code is wise. I've started leaning toward the following approach: First, let sleeping dogs lie. Old messy code is like asbestos; it's most dangerous when you disturb it. Second, if you're going to have to work on the code anyway then that's an appropriate time to clean it up. Even so, proceed with caution: Make sure you understand the code and it's got good test coverage so you can visually and empirically verify that the cleanup isn't doing any damage.

The confusing thing is that those copies are wrapped in interface wrapper types when passed into a function which uses interfaces in its function signature.

Sony announces the world's first 4K smartphone: The Xperia Z5 Premium
I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that an American court has the power to demand that an American citizen produce an item or information under his control, even if it happens to be in another country (e.g., a man getting divorced can't drive his car and all his gold and jewelry into Canada to shield them from his ex-wife). I imagine that most other countries would behave similarly: being within their borders and subject to their jurisdiction, they can compel someone to do something.

If that's indeed the case, then it seems that an American corporation—a legal person with a presence in the United States—may be compelled by a court to produce items or data it controls outside of our borders.

The thing we need to do is to limit the power of the subpoena generally.
Actually Europe is very much responsible, only a small percentage flees to our countries and the reason is clear: People at least think that life in Europe is much better and in some cases they are correct. Please learn about the situation and not just judge it.
I put yes for this because I've heard the funny sounding slang phrase 'on fleek' (similar to on point) before, but I'm not sure if it actually is an OED word.
Why not just say 'I don't play the stock market' though? It's fine to not gamble on stocks, but to suggest you 'play the stock market' when you don't seems disingenuous, and undermines any message you have about it being unnecessarily risky.
> push key management to the user

There is no other way. Unfortunately, there has been a serious lack of r&d in this area, so we have a lot of catching up to do. I believe it can be made to work, though, because this is not entirely a new idea for most people: they already understand physical keys and the problems associated with losing them.

Moving to digital (public-)keys isn't a perfect match, but it is entirely possible to leverage the skills and experience that people already have. For example, contrary to the advice used a decade ago, Schneier recommends[1] that people write down their passwords (avoiding the memorization problem). This can provide good enough security most of the time, because people already understand how to provide security for their wallet.

Incidentally, I always liked the basic idea of the Java Ring[2]. It was basically a fancy (for the time) smart card, but the idea of storing the chip in a ring is an attempt to make security management personal, which is an idea that had potential.

As someone who has never played the stock market (or invested in any securities), what services do you use? Do you need to use multiple services in order to trade the different possible securities and markets?

According to an analyst friend, some of the online sites geared towards small-fry individuals are a bit shady, in the sense that they bet against their own users; I believe Etrade was in that category.

I suspect reality will get about as much traction against idealogues of e.g. the Chicago School

This is an odd criticism. I could see it applied to Chicago's cousin, the Austrian school, which clearly relies more on ideas (viz. the work of Hayek and Mises, both of whom considered themselves political philosophers as much as economists).

But Chicago is just the opposite. It's been criticized for being too tied up in the mathematics of it all. Chicagoans love numbers.

You are a MORAL HAZARD. That is not an ad-hominem. But seriously, I thought we all share the same planet and thus share the consequences.
This completely false. Five countries neighboring Syria - Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt - host 97% of the refugees. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have taken in 3 million refugees.

Egypt and Iraq have another 200,000 are much poorer than Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan and have taken in 200,000 which is more than all of Europe combined.

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE refuse to take in refugees in large numbers. They are also known for horrible human rights abuses. It would be foolish to attempt to go to these countries as a refugee.
Introducing JASP: A free and intuitive statistics software
Jordan and Turkey also absorbed massive refugees. But the ones making to Europe are industrious and economically sophisticated, they are in it for more than personal/family safety. If you are educated and industrious why would you accept squalor conditions in refugee camp, if I were them I would do the same. The irony is ISIS's propaganda heavily relies on Europe born second generation Immigrants.

I mean, I run 6 days a week so my running socks get beat up pretty bad. When they are dead, I need to throw them out. So my options are:

1) Buy 1 new pack of socks, throw out 6 old socks - repeat every month. Doing it this way I have to match socks between several different styles.

or

2) Put 4 packs of socks, throw out all of my socks, repeat 4x less often. Also I have no matching to do, as all of my socks are the same - just grab 2.

(And technically I have 2 styles of socks, summer socks and winter socks. Summer socks is a buttload of cotton socks that get bought in bulk. Winter socks are 3-4 pairs of identical wool socks that last much longer).

In twenty years of reading philosophy books it's the only one I've encountered that does it.
If it causes you problems, you should use whatever means available to you to end the interference, shouldn't you? For some, it's mindfulness. For some, it's medication. For some, it's exercise. Unless you're a doctor well-versed in medical disorders, you can't evaluate if medication would help. You can try mindfulness exercises and physical exercise routines, and if it doesn't stop the feeling that something about the way your mind works causes problems, why not see a doctor?

You have the time (doesn't feel that way, with all those DUE RIGHT NOW tasks I have that are way more important) to make the appointment (and why can't they just see me today, it probably won't take that long, it's just a questionnaire, right?), drive to the doctor (and deal with all those idiots on the road who clearly can't drive as well as I can, and where did they learn the rules of the road anyway?), wait in the waiting room (didn't I just fill out all this paperwork online like they asked, trying to be efficient? Why am I doing this again? I should tell them there are better ways of doing this! And that guy coughing over there, didn't he learn to cover his mouth? Ugh, figures, reading a trash magazine, probably doesn't know any better) and talk to the doctor (who I should totally tell about the nootropics I've been reading about to see if he knows about them too and can just give me some of those and send me on my way because I've got shit to do, and it ain't gonna do itself, and OH LOOK, THAT SQUIRREL JUST JUMPED TWO FEET IN THE AIR!). It can't hurt.

Note to the reader: the parentheses indicate my own thoughts when I did this years ago. I was told later by others I've met with AD/HD that they had the same exact thoughts, and it helped them to see a doctor. I was also told by others who didn't have AD/HD that I needed to grow up, suck it up, and just do it. To me, that clarifies the difference of someone with AD/HD and someone without. Either you can identify with every single one of those things in parentheses, or you think, "of course we all think some of those things, but we put our big boy pants on and get it done; it doesn't mean you have a deficiency in your neurochemistry, it just means you have to motivate yourself a bit more to get anything done."

Curious, want to try it yourself before you flame it to death for being in python 2 or claiming to be remotely plausible as a vim substitute?

git clone https://github.com/iogf/vy
cd vy
virtualenv .
./bin/pip install untwisted pygments
./bin/python setup.py install

You'll probably want to edit /vyapp/plugins/toggle_mode.py to use a KeyPress binding that is valid for your platform at this point, or you'll get:

_tkinter.TclError: bad event type or keysym "Apostrophe"

...and finally,

./bin/vy

Right, now you can start playing wading your way through https://github.com/iogf/vy/blob/master/INTRO.md and try to understand the command syntax.

Good luck!

Vim clones are a dime a dozen; this is actually an entirely different thing, and although I can't imagine actually using it for anything... it's interesting to see people work on different approaches to text editors.

A simple hackable python text editor may not be useful in the long term for anything (for all the reasons about distributing python and python performance limitations), but its certainly viable for prototyping interesting features.

Hey Brobinson,

Thanks for the question! I'm Zach, Director of support. It really depends on which role you're looking at. Here's how support does onboarding and employee visits.

Once hired, our newest team members come to NYC (HQ) for two weeks of training. This is really an immersion program designed to provide you with a strong connection to the company and provide team-specific training. We do a good mix of classroom learning, hands-on, a hackathon project, and interacting with different employees throughout the company.

Following the two weeks of training you head back to your home office to start work. We do work in three shifts to cover 24/7, so it's a consistent schedule and team that you're working with. We have managers across all three shifts who help with your development, and we do things like virtual standups to start each shift via Google Hangouts.

In regards to employee visits to NYC following training, here's what we do. We recommend a visit every six months or so for 1-2 weeks. It's really up to the individual employee though. Some have visited more frequently and have joined us for the company ski trip last winter or for our first ever shark week (all employees in NYC!!).

Again, I can only speak to the support experience, other teams have different operating procedures. It's not a bad idea to check back in as lots changes at a startup. Feel free to re-apply or email me directly, zach@ and I'll get you in touch with the right recruiter who can definitely address your specific questions.

Thanks,
Zach

Ps. We just took some co-working space in Seattle and Toronto for employees to work from :)

It's kind of a red herring to connect these two. The case here involves the government seizing data from a foreign data center. Were Microsoft to lose, this says to foreign customers that any time the US government wants some information stored overseas, they will get it. Obviously not good for business.

Here in the states, Microsoft is going to collect everything it can about its customers and store it (and from there I imagine it eventually goes on in some form to the NSA).
Caseysoftware - i've had exactly three people crash at my house who were homeless strangers. Only for a few nights each.

I have also got chatting to a homeless dude who turned out to be an artist. He carried on a pen drive pictures he'd created over the last few years but he had no computer access and no way to get them. I said i'd take a look and the next day went into a shop and printed every single picture, paid for it and gave it to him.

I have no problem giving to strangers and not getting anything in return. I get something back naturally, I feel happier that they are happier.

Hence i'm in the process of starting a social enterprise =).
The legal codes we're subject to, whether we are or we aren't.

I believe in most locales people are responsible for their own children, but - and correct me if I'm wrong, happy to learn something - I don't think there's anything in there that makes anyone responsible for random strangers on the other side of the planet.

Again, this doesn't have anything to do with whether we should be responsible for random strangers on the other side of the planet.

You know, at least Europeans are consistent in their moral grandstanding.

It exists in 3 forms.

1) Both benefit (I.E.: mutualistic)

2) Only 1 benefits while the other has no clue of its usage (I.E.: commensalism). Vultures and Lions more or less, or hermit crabs and shell fish which are dead.

3) One actively benefits while the other is consumed by the active particpant (I.E.: Paracitism).

:.:.:

Your argument is that webscale logging is mutualistic. To an extent I'll agree. But this isn't the case. Google is mutualistic when using say GWallet, Docs, Mail, search etc.

But Like/Plus buttons, as well as cookie sniffing isn't mutualistic. Its commensalism. I have no say if another organism uses what I leave behind, it doesn't directly effect me, but it benefits another organism.

If by "you", you mean aggregated data about you in lieu of cash payment.

Google/Facebook/etc are not selling your data, they are not selling you, they are selling access to you via advertisers, more specifically, they are selling access to people who like certain things and who live in certain areas who have certain demographic profiles.

If you're curious about this, go sign up for an Adwords account and see how the targeting works - what you see there is the limit of what any advertiser using Google sees about its users. Facebook is much the same.

Get it right. Any ad-backed company of note does not "sell your data" and characterizing it as such is so divorced from reality as to be a blatant, willful lie.
