There is no such thing as "free". MS has less than 15% OS share these days, they are trying to monetize every aspect of each product with a subscription business model. That said, free 100GB (with Bing incentives) was nice and very usable with Win10/WinPhone, but now....not so much.
If they would add support for sending pdf and doc files and any other file and release a desktop client it would be an unbeatable messenger.
Well, I made H2S on a few occasions in high school, and I always thought it has a powerful odor of rotten eggs. I have no doubt about it. You make a little H2S in a test tube, you will know, along with everyone else in the room and perhaps in adjacent rooms too.

I don't doubt that it deadens the sense of smell, I'm just saying it's nowhere near odorless on first contact.

Of course, I never made an amount large enough, nor did I stuck around long enough, for the sense impairment to occur.
Because I'm lazy and switching would be time consuming. Each new privacy-related "innovation" motivates me a little more. You're right that the practical effect of this new service is negligible on a technical level, but it still reminds me that I should find an alternative I find acceptable.

Keep reading, it's just the optional hosting that's paid, the software itself is open source.
I once took an H2S safety training class. The first rule of working in an area with known H2S is if you see one of your colleagues suddenly drop to the floor for no apparent reason get the hell out of the area and whatever you do, don't stop to render aid to the fallen. After you have reached a safe well ventilated place, you should put on your safety gear and then head back to rescue the incapacitated.

There are too many stories like this where a whole bunch of people die trying to rescue the first victim so it makes total sense but it is kind of weird working in an environment where you know your colleagues will not help you (at least at first) if something goes wrong.

Btw: H2S doesn't really dull your sense of smell because of prolonged exposure. It only becomes odorless at deadly concentrations. So it turns out you don't know if you cannot smell it because it isn't present or it is just about to kill you.

This is how Martha Stewart was imprisoned. The securities fraud charges could not be substantiated and were thrown out, so they continued her case on, among other "meta"-crimes, making false statements to a federal agent.

Moreover, since she lied to SEC investigators involved in her case, prosecutors could easily tack on an obstruction charge. And since her business partners lied as well, a conspiracy charge was on the table.

If you don't speak, you cannot lie.

The friends I play Urb-X with are hyper aware that it's the heavier-than-air gasses that pool and that kill you. I find it amazing and depressing they didn't have any sort of safety gear or air monitoring. In the UK, I'm sure this would have breached both working at height and enclosed spaces working regulations.

Even if we're exploring something as pathetic as an old ROC bunker only _one_ of us (usually me) goes down first and is attached to the end of a rope. If I stop talking then the person topside can do what they like to try and get me out, but under no circumstances do they come down behind me. We've also usually got a third person sat in the van (so just off site) communicating with us via radio and with GPS coordinates and road directions written down ready to give to the emergency services should it all go entirely to hell...

Sorry for the ramble; It's a horrible tragedy, but as what I've stated above is the level I expect for an unplanned slightly drunken Sunday-afternoon explore, I _really_ expect people in a commercial setting to know better. Probably more to the point, whoever ordered them to go in there deserves to be strung over the coals....

tldr: it's _really_ easy to go from 1 person slightly injured to multiple people dead :(
> it is repeatedly reported that the Chinese authority is tougher than the FAA.

Except their government and regulatory structures are much, much more corrupt than their Western counterparts. Sure, they'll produce a document that'll say its safe but whats in the air is a totally different story. The same way lead-free products from China are full of lead. Everyone I know who resells from alibaba does lead testing on their own for every bulk shipment to avoid this. The problem is that bad. Then you have poison in baby formula, USB chargers that catch fire, and the slew of other concerning things that come out of China regularly.

So yeah, maybe the FAA should be a little skeptical of a certification from a corrupt one-party state eager to make its mark on the world as being competitive with the West and taking every shortcut to get there.
More than anything, the cases show the power of arbitration clauses.

Tax reform never survives because there is no consensus on how it should be fixed. Some folks think we should "simplify" by eliminating deductions - things like home mortgage interest, child care expenses, medical expenses & health insurance premiums. Other folks think we should "simplify" by eliminating corporate tax breaks & subsidies, and change how we tax things like stock trades & financial instruments. Still others think we should scrap the whole system and just impose a flat tax. Everyone benefits a little under the current system, and no one wants to trade the devil in the details of a "reformed" system for the deal they've got now.

The ideas that are tenable can't be popular enough to succeed (since we're all just temporarily disenfranchised millionaires, and it could always be worse), and the ones that are simplest aren't palatable once all the details are worked out. So we do nothing, because that's easy.
Would you like it better if it said "pure capitalism"? Or "capitalism and only capitalism"?
National HR department?
Yeah they should have never succumbed to the inundation of propaganda and withering force of constant social and economic pressure to tow the party line. Shame on those people for exerting their natural rights and trusting people who sold them out.

I'm totally with you, the real people to blame here are the everyday rubes who knowingly gave power and money to a select few who always told the truth and never used traumatic events like 9/11 or economic collapses to consolidate power and wealth. All blame should exist on the stupid middle class who need to be controlled, patronized, and told what's best for them like 5 year old children.
> They didn't comment on the merger rumor itself but they addressed one of the major concerns many of the news outlets were discussing.

No news outlet could seriously interpret 'merge' as 'cease to exist'. So they only addressed a secondary nonsensical rumor while ignoring the core of the issue. That leads to very particular and obfuscatory wording. Confused wording.

>This is Hacker News, not reddit; come back with your data if you're going to make a claim about "confused" press releases indicating "internal confusion".

So the standard of evidence is an impossible study that nobody would even want to run.

I can't assume that press releases have anything to do with what companies are actually preaching internally.

Otherwise I'm being Reddit.

The "the US is too big" argument gets dragged out for all kinds of things, and it is total nonsense. You have more people to pay, but you have equivalently more jobs. And conveniently, you have administrative subdivisions: States. And not that many of them have more people than the Scandinavian countries.

Furthermore, none of them have more people than Germany (~80 million), the country where the modern welfare state was born (Bismark put in place the first welfare reforms as a means to try to stop the growth of the socialist groups that were becoming a threat to the political stability of Prussia; though while he gave with one hand, he outlawed dozens of them with the other).

Of course, even the Scandinavian countries subdivides provisioning of these services further, down to the county level for many types of services.

In other words: This is a problem that decomposes very nicely, and that scales up accordingly. Just threat it as a suitable number of independent systems. They still have the economies of scale to make it reasonably efficient. You have some added complications, but also the benefit of being able to study differences in the various implementations and copy the most effective practices. Scale is opportunity here, first and foremost, not a problem.

> You also have to take into account the Scandinavian cultural norms as well.

As a Scandinavian, I'm very curious about what Scandinavian cultural norms you believe makes this easier that isn't present elsewhere. Besides, it's not just Scandinavia that has a comprehensive welfare system. Most Western-European countries do.

> As we've seen in recent years, when you institute measures like this it actually creates more dependency and self reliance on the government

This is only a "problem" when you don't consider that the alternative is that these people starve, live in substandard housing or go without important medical care. Nobody wants people to be dependent on welfare, but I prefer "welfare dependence" to having people grow up destitute.

If/when there are jobs that pay enough, fine, put strict conditions in place to push people to take them or lose benefits. But when there aren't enough jobs, or the ones that are available doesn't cover housing or food nothing good is achieved by not providing support for the basics.
> If you can get a software engineer at 30-50% of the price in the US...

This is the mindset that got Canada into this situation in the first place.

As a recent Waterloo grad, I've witnessed first-hand how the tech industry in Canada has been bleeding talent to the US, even from our own top schools. Just about everyone I know who's good enough to have offers from US companies have taken the offers and left.

And it's not hard to imagine why: the average "highly competitive" salary in Canada is pathetic compared to what you could be making in the US for a similar position.

I think Blackberry has been a prime example of a company hit by this. Even with the advantage of being literally next door to the Waterloo campus, most students I know treated it as nothing more than a "safety" in their co-op and grad job search. So in the end, the only students Blackberry ever had access to were the ones who weren't good enough for the US companies, and the few good ones who couldn't to go to the US for what ever reason.

I can't see this trend slowing any time soon, unless Canadian companies start offering salaries competitive with companies across the border, rather than just with their other Canadian neighbors.
Actually, no. Netflix has every incentive for you to pay for a monthly membership and use as little of their product as possible, as they have to pay licensing for each show you watch, the bandwidth, etc.

Production studios that sell ads, they have a vested interest in you watching more TV, as the more you watch the more ads they can sell.
Fledit.io: JSON as a Service
Way back in the day (mid high-school), I wrote a Tetris game in Pascal and Z80 assembly for the TRS-80. At some point I realized that since what was displayed on the screen was just a representation of an area of memory, I could keep track of the "cup" and all of the pieces that had already fallen into it directly in video memory instead of variables. I also optimized the code for drawing the "cup" so all three sides of it would get rendered in one shot in a single loop. The first time I ran it, a bug caused half of the bottom not to get drawn, and the first Tetris piece dropped through the hole and sliced straight into whatever vital memory came after the video area, immediately crashing the computer.

I appreciate the privacy standards they used (no humans reading your email to develop this), but am concerned that it's not enough. As I understand with language models, overfitting takes the form of returning a sequence of words seen in the training set. If this is overfitting in any part of the response space, this could happen. Out of a million emails, how many suggested responses are going to substantively resemble another response the original author wouldn't want read by others?

The problem with a job guarantee is that you're forcing people to sell their time in order to live. This is nearly the definition of an exploitative economic relationship and borders on state run slavery.
Unfortunately, you're 100% right about all of that...

This is getting afield, but I'm in a rather tough spot: late stage startup that continues to grow, and one I've been involved with for a very long time, so I've invested a lot of my career here. I want to see it succeed (not the least because I have a not insubstantial option pool), and it seems we probably will, though perhaps in spite of ourselves. :) Customer engagement is high, we're seeing steadily growing revenues, and we've largely pushed aside any competition in our space.

But, senior management is only borderline functional and business focus is primarily customer acquisition rather than strategic product initiatives. Some recent changes in that area have been positive, but not transformative, and we continue to build a business on an original concept invented over a decade ago, while failing to keep up with changes in the industry.

Meanwhile, my direct report is essentially absent (which means product has no representation at the VP level), and the only other VP-level individual (who, notably, is not my direct report) with a strong product background is likely on their way out for various political reasons.

Tricky.

Anyway, barring a career change, at minimum, I really need to reach out to my network to find other folks in the role with whom I can share war stories and coaching/advice...

I didn't read this thread as law enforcement apologism (though I guess I can see it that way now that it's been pointed out). My read on it was that the cited lawsuits and legal remedies currently being waged aren't actually over the legality of his detention, but over compensation owed to him.
So, you tell them the truth, and say "Sorry officer, I wasn't in town that day," only they later find out that there's an eyewitness who says that you were in town that day, and your credit card purchases show you buying a cup of coffee a few blocks from where the eyewitness saw you.

It doesn't matter that the eyewitness was mistaken, and just saw someone who looked like you who drove a similar looking vehicle, or that the purchase was made by your wife who was borrowing your credit card, because that coffee shop didn't have security cameras proving one way or the other.

At the end of the day, you're looked at as guilty, for a time at least, and possibly forever. You have to waste your every spare dollar hiring a defense attorney to prove your innocence. You have to fend off mobs of social justice warriors who have ruined your reputation on the internet and real life, who may have lowered your business' Yelp score to approximately zero. You have to find a new job, because your old one fired you once you were indicted, and the newspapers justified them by placing your picture on the front page as the guilty party, but only printing the retraction months later on page 18.

And this is of course a scenario predicated on the notion that your attorney is able to actually get you found innocent, and you aren't further hindered by spending decades in prison for a crime you didn't commit.
