I'm not so sure. It's also possible the it will always work, and what happens is you lose the early, informed users, and gain new users who are more moved by marketing.

Logmein is still in business, and buying companies. At first blush it seems like they'd be a good company to have a stake in.
Ah, I read that but didn't parse it as the author trying to make the distinction between (misnamed) "front-running" and actual front-running.

Probably still worth pointing out, since one of the activities is illegal and harmful (uses non-public information) and the other is just reacting quickly to the public market information.
"We are going to migrate our vanilla js application to either React or Angular world"

Does "to migrate" mean "gradually refactor and gradually pack code in React/Angular components". Or does it mean "to rewrite from scratch"?

How big is the application?

Does it have clear architecture and clean code or is it big ball of mud with ugly looking code?
"Article QQ.H.7: {Criminal Procedures and Penalties}"

"Each Party shall provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied at least
in cases of willful trademark counterfeiting or copyright or related rights piracy on a
commercial scale. In respect of willful copyright or related rights piracy, “on a commercial
scale” includes at least:"

"(b) significant acts, not carried out for commercial advantage or financial gain,
that have a substantial prejudicial impact on the interests of the copyright or
related rights owner in relation to the marketplace 135,136."

"135 It is understood that a Party may comply with subparagraph (b) by addressing such significant acts under
its criminal procedures and penalties for non-authorized uses of protected works, performances and
phonograms" (All emphasis Ed.) "in its domestic law."

Does it mean the law is going to be:

Sing a song on the birthday party, don't pay the copyright => you are a criminal?

What are actually the "significant acts, not carried out for commercial advantage or financial gain,
that have a substantial prejudicial impact on the interests of the copyright or
related rights owner in relation to the marketplace"?
I nuked /usr on one of my servers for cleaning purposes some 5-6 years ago when I was still quite fresh to Unix. After reboot, I was unable to log in even as root. That was the day I learned not to change the shell of root to anything outside of /bin (I had set it to /usr/bin/bash).

I was able to recover the machine with a LiveCD but still, it was annoying.
The answer is, in fact, "because everybody else does it".

This can be partially fixed with a very technocratic market microstructure change (eliminating the subpenny rule). But politically that's very much a "huh?" point - imagine Bernie Sanders saying "I believe we should let traders quote in increments of 1/100 of a cent, not 1 cent".

I understand why the users might have concerns with "LogMeIn", but well one should've expected (at least on this forum) that this is going to happen.

Does US$38k to clean up a few cups of mercury seem ridiculous to anybody else? That would be a very dangerous quantity of mercury if it were in a form like dimethylmercury, but it was metallic mercury. Wouldn't it make more sense to dump some powdered metal into it to amalgamate it, sweep it up and put it in a bag, and open the windows to let the house air out for a day or two?

I read them as, enthusiastic promoters on the bleeding edge. They jumped into 3D printing despite the risks. Harsh to call that 'greedy'.

That said, 3D printing is still pretty lame. Cheap plastic parts are rarely the critical element in a device. And even knobs etc often have retaining clips or friction-fit holes with sub-millimeter tolerances, that 3D printers cannot achieve.

Interestingly, my first exhilarating running experiences came about when I started trail running.

I wasn't a heavy runner before, but I had trained for/completed an Olympic triathlon, and run several miles every once in a while like most formerly-athletic people.

But the first time I ran on a trail in the woods I was like "YEAH!" and I still get no similar rush from street running though I do that 10+ miles a week these days.

I wonder which of these images is the "realest".

No, mercury vapors have been documented as toxic for centuries. It was noticed that sailors on ships that transported large amounts of open mercury would get sick from the vapors.
It does say "on a commercial scale", so it has to be big. However, I think using bittorrent counts since you are offering to upload the file to anyone on the internet who asks for it. Just singing it at a single private party wouldn't be included, but a restaurant chain singing it for every birthday party would.

Not sure what "prejudicial impact" means, but it's probably something that would keep people from buying the copyrighted version.

Anybody have a solution for endless calls to a cell phone with a myriad of "google registry" or "small business whatever" scams? The calls started right around when I switched from being a Sprint customer to a Verizon pre-paid customer, but I can't definitively say Verizon sold my number. I ignore and block every call, but I receive anywhere from one to three calls a day.

Switching numbers isn't really an option I want to explore since I'm unconvinced it wouldn't just start on my new number if my carrier was the origin of the calls.
If the scope of POSIX is a portable UNIX API, it should cover some kind of portable hardware access API across UNIX like systems, no?

Currently it mostly covers hardware from PDP-11 systems still, anything else via /dev, ioctl, whatever, is vendor specific.

Last time I checked that weren't any portable API for USB for example.
That's funny. The LogMeIn employees have a financial stake in making sure that people DON'T exit en masse after the acquisition. I wonder why?

I would caution, then, that any interviews given by any staffer to the effect of "LastPass is not changing, your data is perfectly safe with LogMeIn, the prices will not skyrocket, etc." over the next few months should be taken with a grain of salt, since they quite literally have $15 million riding on you not leaving.
Just for their case in particular...Can't they block phone numbers from certain area codes? Or even request a new number and have it private? It seems strange that they can't do anything about 50+ calls a day.

> You want to buy a bottle of coke from a vending machine? Most of them don't have card readers.

I never have that urge tbh.

> You want to tip the valet/bellman/maid? Most of them don't have card readers; even if they do, it's still inconvenient to make them dig it out.

Yeah, when I'm on vacation I'll run to the bank and get some $5 bills for that sort of thing. Hence "regularly" was the word I used. I'm not on that sort of vacation 51 out of 52 weeks a year.

> Feeling compassionate toward the beggar on the corner? Think he's got a card reader?

I donate directly to large charities that I know provide food, etc. to people. I honestly don't see beggars on street corners [largely because the local police are assholes].

> Want to pay the babysitter? Does she carry a card reader?

Actually yeah. She does.

> Then there's the other side of risk. Ever had your identity stolen? (I have, though not from a dodgy card reader.) And if you think chip and pin is going to make that impossible, I expect that the crooks will find a way.

Yes. If you meant actually identity theft [e.g. social, driver license] so they can masquerade as you...a lack of credit card provides no protection. The insurance companies you use, your employer, your bank, and dozens [if not hundreds] of "big data" companies have this info as well.

If you somehow believe a lack of a credit card will magically secure you against this risk, you are very much mistaken.

Stolen credit cards, honestly, are much less of a problem than stolen cash. I can get the money back from a stolen credit card.
An Arduino-Powered My Little Pony Donation Box
Very rarely do I ever see any popular culture handling of a complex topic that isn't.
Well, the obvious place to start is via using separate memory channels. If you have separate load/store queues for the stack and heap you can have substantially higher max performance for the same area/power since the cost of that structure scales super-linearly. But that means you can't have arrays with a mix of pointers to heap and stack allocated objects.

That's one of the things the Reduceron (mentioned elsewhere) does.
I bike commute to work for a significant amount of time (about 1:15 each way) and most days I get out-of-the-blue ideas and solutions to situations/problems starting usually around 45 minutes in. It also often happens that I get a shift of perspective/viewpoint on something that is affecting me.

If you are not getting any of this when working out may I suggest going longer? After all for most people the "runner's high" doesn't really happen unless you run for a significant amount of time (personally, same as for riding, it usually takes at least 45 minutes before it starts, for other people I know even an hour)

I have to say that when I can't ride to work but have to take transit (when it's icy out) I am definitely less effective due to the lack of this 2x/day burst of additional creativity (which is helpful on the way back too, get home, fire off emails and note some plans for the next day).

Note I have never taken drugs so I can't offer any comparisons.

> That physical quantities such as mass are forever increasing

I think that's a little uncharitable. In classical terms you could say that each "universe" is associated with some weight or probability, and those probabilities always sum to one.

I guess you could say that the "number" of things increases (provided that number is countable and finite, I guess, which seems a bit silly), but the probability-weighted mass of things going on stays the same.

Of course, it isn't terribly useful to talk about all of the inaccessible universes taking up the majority of the probability, so we condition on our observations (i.e., we do a Bayesian update, or "collapse the wavefunction".)

Then if we talk about "our universe" having probability 1 given our observations, and surmise that people in another parallel, inacessible universe would also say that theirs has probability 1, we might say "Aha! There is now a total of 2, where once there was a total of 1!" It should be clear how this is an error, though.
Iphone 6s camera review: switzerland
This is pretty terrible news. It would have been need to see LastPass get acquired by a company like AWS but LogMeIn doesn't really have the reputation required to ask people to trust them with all their passwords.

Also, the valuation also seems low to me. Maybe LastPass was having trouble generating recurring revenue. It seems like going public would be a better route for security companies but maybe the revenue wasn't there for an IPO.

I've had a paid subscription for years and used their enterprise service for 2 different startups. Hopefully the service doesn't start to suck. I'm already scouting alternatives.
"Branches on a tree" makes more sense if VW didn't drag their feet for a year and a half when the report of the failing vehicles first came out. I agree that the whole company cannot be rotten, because it would have leaked to the public long before now, but upper management may be far too ok with rules skirting.

Look into the VW / Porsche infinite share squeeze. These people aren't affable fools. They didn't just accidentally let engineers write code to skirt around international rules by a factor of 10-40.

I love the idea EXCEPT for Desktop Enviroments. Does that mean any KDE/Gnome App has the whole desktop installed in each folder?

What about OpenSSH does that mean any program that uses SSH needs its own copy and then we have 12 different versions of SSH?

Its not easy but I am sure someone is smart enough to figure this stuff out. NixOS and Gobo Linux have tried.

Part of it is, we can't even imagine a plausible way for all those worlds to be created. That they just pop into existence for every collapse of the wavefunction is an unsatisfactory explanation. The Copenhagen interpretation is more palatable because then we're dealing with just one Universe.

Anyone aware of good alternatives? Primarily for enterprise customers who want to share passwords between teams.

We have developers, and regular ol' employees who use this of varying levels of computer comfort. We need to be able to share passwords org-wide and team-wide.

And on a personal note, I need to be able to manage my own passwords and my partner's and we share from time to time.
Well significant events that may impact on the price of the stock should be communicated officialy, so for those kinds of things I think it should be feasible. Buy I'm no expert on it, though!
I've never gotten "runner's high" either, and I've definitely ran further and longer than than what is required to achieve it according to my runner friends (8 miles).

Mostly running is just a mix of pain and boredom for me to the point where I simply cannot bear it. The only way I can run is if there is a goal/agenda of some sort...like playing Soccer for instance.
:( Hamachi quickly went to hell. I bet they use the tech Hamachi provided but the product was scrapped afaik.
This is a bad question and a horrible attempt to answer (I'm being so abrasive because at this moment this is the highest voted comment). It's a bad question because it invites wishful thinking. Prediction generally has a very bad track record, and right now you're trying to predict a mixture of economy, free market incentives and technology. Hard to find something more unpredictable.

What you can do is look at the past and find correlation and causation. It's reasonably straightforward. Take a number of drugs and treatments, best if done randomly. See the process that got them on the market, and try to figure where patents fit in the picture.

I tried it just for fun, and found something interesting: up to half a century ago, you had a person's name associated with a drug. More recently, and you have a company. This is not an answer, but a hint that maybe things move towards being more expensive. Which of course brings us to the regulatory process: once a drug identified, what is the cost of having the papers stamped and who is motivated to pay for it?
Sure, and the same things can be said about contraception. On the other hand an insurance company could argue that since you didn't avoid getting sick/pregnant by going to the check up they're not going to cover it.

Which is an absurd way of thinking about it, but there you are.

Isn't it obvious after all these years that gpus or fpgas give hlls nothing?? Nobody actually runs hlls there, even! And everyone had years and years to try! On these machines in reality hll performance blows much much harder than on cpus and at what point does it become obvious that nobody doing something must be due to reasons that can be learned and understood instead of ignored?

I wrote tfa to explain some of those reasons and nobody seems to read it, they just keep saying what they always do.

Hey, I'd like to see a further filter: movies that pass the test, and said dialog is propelling the plot. So often movies that pass, do so with extraneous characters or even comic sidekicks. And the dialog in question is still about things peripheral to men - appearance, social behavior etc that pertain to appealing to men.
I don't think a GPU is significantly faster than a CPU, it's just highly parallelized. Many FPGAs are similar, but it's hard to generalize that space. FPGAs and ASICs are also usually designed with a specific task in mind and are not suitable for general computing.
