Their "contract" between their pseudo kinship makes it very difficult for someone in the lower hierarchy to blame their upper, let alone whistle blow, about such wrongdoing without very severe consequences.

Many of clan members would voluntarily accept imprisonment by limiting blame to themselves instead of to their upper or their immediate upper would pressure for them to do so, which I don't necessarily think the case for corporations. (I wouldn't say this doesn't exist, though.)

In the presentation the middle row seats inclined forward. On the Model X webpage it says the back row seats fold flat. You could definitely fit a whitewater kayak in; a downriver kayak would be tougher. Perhaps you need the configuration with two seats in the second row (instead of three) -- that should be enough room to fit a kayak between. That said, I imagine the second row seats will fold down.

But you could just put it on the roof :)

Grails is great to get things done quickly (scaffolding). But if you want to write vendor independent code, Grails makes your life unnecessarily hard by providing a full stack from Database to UI. Somewhere something leaks into the business logic. This is less the case if you can pick and control exactly what Database and REST technology you use. Of course you can ignore the DB part in Grails and plug your own thing, but then, why should I use Grails in the first place?

They have enough difficulty persuading mathematicians to come work for a quarter of the pay they'd otherwise get in the city.

Spring Data does this very well, in a fashion partly inspired by ActiveRecord. You define a Repository interface with whatever search methods suit your case; a concrete class is built and injected for you. The same interface can back onto JPA databases, Mongo, Redis and I forget what else.

If you add Spring Data REST, you get a complete RESTful API -- complete with HATEOAS, paging, sorting, searching and HAL -- automagically.

Use Spring Boot and you won't need to do any more than include the dependencies in your Maven POM or build.gradle file.

I think this is right up to a point. While good leaders take first blame publicly, they do need to figure out the causes internally. There are many times where the fault actually belongs to someone specific. That's really important to learn.

I believe that's due to the comma in the original sentence that makes its meaning ambiguous:

Could be either:

We have to learn to share before it's too late.

or

We have to learn to share, before, it's too late.

with the latter being 'it was' and the former being 'it is.'

Interesting that it manages to get all the way back to the original sentence in any case.

Not everyone has to address Congress. As long as each valid viewpoint has at least one advocate, I trust people could figure out the best option. Less bargaining means fewer riders and pork, which is a good thing. I'm fine if only the best ~10% of Congress wrote/debated laws and the rest simply voted.

Also, remember we are comparing against the current Congress, which only represents the wealthiest among us. Pretty low bar.

Houston does this every year in the Fall; we close a street or two off to cars for a few hours one Sunday a month. There are food trucks and vendors and from personal experience I'd say attendance is moderate at one or two thousand, not tens of thousands a street festival will enjoy.

If a car-crazy town like Houston can do it surely Paris with their amazing metro could do so much better. Considering the effect a single day of no cars has on their air quality and the allegation that diesel cars are much more polluting and fuel consuming than previously thought, perhaps Paris will moot electric only cars in the core?

It’s not uncommon for the App Store/Software Update to make no distinction between the final GM seed and the production version, making it say you’re already up to date if you’re running the GM seed. They’re usually close enough to production that the GM seeds can update to x.x.1 type updates.

That said I’m downloading the official release now and installing it over my GM seed install simply to get beta releases of 10.11.1 to stop showing up in my updates tab.
Let me guess, this has something to do with SUBST.
Not at all, in many vehicles. 6th gear in my car is quite long (Turns 1950RPM at 75MPH) and I have no problem maintaining speed on highway grades.

Even if you do downshift that doesn't necessarily mean you're being less efficient either. Being a bit higher up the rev range may actually put you in a better spot on the efficiency curve for a given power output.

Well, who is the target? Corporate and government customers are obviously important especially when we consider the various cyberwars going on and how much private and trusted data these companies have on us. Priv escalations are scary in my world. In the world of grandma's vacation photos? Not so much.

This is a major, major vulnerability, no doubt about it. Shame TC has a hackey Windows driver to make its pseudo-drive features work. Anything that installs a driver is dangerous in the world of Windows as it has high level permissions. I imagine organizations with strong security policies wouldn't run this and instead just run some PGP variant that doesn't use any customized Windows drivers.

>I don't even have non privileged users on my windows machine.

Technically, you do if you have the UAC enabled. You're only really an admin after UAC runs, at least in most cases. From what I'm reading this should work around he UAC if the driver is running at SYSTEM level.

I'm using Spring Data REST at work. We have a dozen endpoints. We've had to write code for one of them.

The rest were generated by introspecting our models. Complete with HATEOAS links, sorting, searching, paging and HAL. It made a whole bunch of work simply disappear -- even compared to Rails.
Pity, because Windows inter-app security on the same desktop is almost non-existant; apps can just send each other arbitary messages.
I agree that the analogy doesn't hold for the recent VW debacle (where the calibration was changed during certification testing), but it holds for the industry in large and what has been going on for the past 10-20 years, which is what the paper is about.

The vehicle manufacturers optimize the engine calibration to the drive cycle they are trying to beat. That is why a US-spec BMW has a different engine tune than a Euro-spec BMW for example, the drive cycles are different.

As a superuser, this annoys me. As a security conscious sysadmin, I'm mostly OK with this, though the lack of access except via recovery mode makes for a potential aggravation (makes remote assistance hard).
There is a setting to opt out of the beta track. Check out System Preferences > App Store.

Quite an understatement.

I will repeat myself: visible ads are the tip of the tracking/data-mining iceberg. Not seeing ads is not a sign that a site is more respectful of its visitors.

Found a pretty good example of this earlier today. See how there are no visible ads on the page, it looks rather clean, and yet see the amount of 3rd parties being pulled into the page[1]:

That seems completely unrelated, but it also seems a whole lot shittier.

Why would Apple remove an app for reporting casualties of US Drone strikes? It's basically a very specialized news app.
And witness the repercussions. On the third day of the crisis, the Red and Orange lines were out, and a lot of people who normally came on them, drove instead.

Fair point. Grails 3 provides "profiles" for this reason. So if you don't need the view layer and everything that goes with it won't be loaded.
Expansion files do support a so called patch version[0] - which may sound like a delta but it isn't. The job of creating a patch and merging it with the main expansion file is placed on the app developer. Additionally there can only be one patch to each main extension file. There is not a new delta generated for each new version of the expansion file.

I'm not at all surprised if most developers just ignores the patch option all together and just re-uploads a new main expansion file every time any content has changed.

Besides, while seemingly well documented[0], IME expansion files requires quite a lot of undocumented magic. Including patching Google's own source code. Code that they recommend that you vendor into the app rather than include as a library.

Further the user experience is less than stellar. On many devices the expansion is only downloaded after the app is started the first time. So the app needs to work even while the file is missing, and at that time manually request that the system retrieves the file.

BTW, did anyone notice the fine print of this announcement? Only devices with Android 4.0 or newer supports 100 MB apk:s. If your app supports 2.3 - i.e. some 70 million Android users - you're stuck at 50 MB and will have to keep using expansion files to serve those users.
