Well, the specification defines two negociation procedures. You are not forced to support both, you are not even forced to support one, but then how would you make use of it? And you are also free to negociate it another way should you decide to. The spec defines the protocol, not the transport on which it is used or the way the underlying communication is established. They could have put the two negociation methods in another RFC for what it's worth, since they don't affect the inner workings of the protocol itself.

Good for them, why shouldn't they retain control over how their money is dispersed?

Those relatives with high incomes are almost guaranteed to get taxed at a higher rate via income than any other distribution formula of that money would produce. In the US if you're in typical high net worth locations, you're going to pay ~33% to 50% on high amounts of income between state and federal.

So what's the problem? Those high incomes get taxed at a high rate. There's a reason the rich pay such an extreme portion of all income taxes in the US.

I'm pretty sure the parser could be compiled with js_of_ocaml, but not sure if everything can be. Would need to look...
I'm glad they didn't write it in Objective-C, as this would probably make compilation on Linux much harder (I have no idea what the state of Linux support for Objective-C is). As for writing it in Swift itself, that's not possible until Swift is sufficiently stable and with enough library support. Which it may or may not have now, but certainly didn't have when they started ;)

Whew! I'm pretty sure I armchaired-critiqued the Watch when it first came out (basically, my reasoning was that unlike the iphone, ipod, and ipad -- there is not as much inherently appealing on paper about having a watch, because of its physical form factor, among other things)...so now I can be a little relieved that maybe I won't be a CmdrTaco/iPod meme 10 years from now :)
There is no strawman. This is the claim that you've made:

"The opposite, though, happens all the time."

The original claim is 'police break into houses and no one calls local gang/NCAAP/#BLM/ACORN/other black orgs.' The opposite claim is therefore that '"local gang/NCAAP/#BLM/ACORN/other black orgs" break into houses and people call the police'. I've conceded that local gangs may break into houses, and now I'm asking you to justify the assertion that "NCAAP/#BLM/ACORN/other black orgs" (it's NAACP, BTW) break into houses. Do you have sources that show that people operating under the NCAAP/#BLM banner actually break into houses? If you don't have information that suggests that, why do you make such an offhanded claim?

How is this trolling? How is this not a good faith argument? My distillation of your claims is that "blacks commit crimes, so black special interest groups must also be bastions of criminality." If that's not your point, then what is?

This made me curious so I checked the FDA site. In case anyone else is interested:

From a very cursory review, it appears that health claims on the packaging are quite heavily regulated by the FDA[1], but advertising for dietary supplements and foods seems to fall outside their mandate and regulatory responsibility lies instead with the FTC:

"The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates advertising, including infomercials, for dietary supplements and most other products sold to consumers. FDA works closely with FTC in this area, but FTC's work is directed by different laws."[2]

I'm not sure what's on the bottle, but presumably the websites falls under the jurisdiction of the FTC. A brief review of their site seems to indicate a far more relaxed approach is taken. For example:

"The FTC's standard for evaluating substantiation is sufficiently flexible to ensure that consumers have access to information about emerging areas of science"

"These factors are often weighed together to ensure that valuable product information is not withheld from consumers because the cost of developing substantiation is prohibitive"

"...the FTC gives great weight to accepted norms in the relevant fields of research and consults with experts from a wide variety of disciplines, including those with experience in botanicals and traditional medicines" [3]

I struggled with weight for a few years after highschool. No matter how much more activity I added, I couldn't lose the fat.

Then about 6 years ago I drastically changed my diet for just 4 months (paleo) and dropped from 240lbs to 185lbs. At that point, I was almost sedentary but still eating at least 1-2 very large meals a day, every day. Even though I've recently been less disciplined about my diet and exercise I've still kept most of that weight off.

Absolutely, sometimes it does makes sense to integrate, but Yahoo having its own media content as part of their Yahoo! portal means they are likely going to think of a way to integrate Netflix into the portal, since netflix revenue is entirely from monthly subscription.

They certainly can rebrand Community entirely under Netflix, but then they are leaving Finance, Sport and News entirely to Yahoo Portal, which is again, good on its own ground. Perhaps they will invent the new online TV ecosystem. The thing Netflix lacks is news. Yahoo can supplement that, but the whole Netflix will change, and it will be a huge innovation and a major game change if done right. YouTube on the other hand is a medium for all sorts of brands, so finding news can be chaotic.

Not really.

Your typical corporate IP lawyer might feel queasy about the collective copyright aspect, but so much of the open source world works this way now... they can suffer in their jocks.

One important question they'll ask is: "Who can enforce the copyright and licence?" (Which is when the subtle difference between joint and collective copyright matters.)

Non-trivial contributions are made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 Licence, so regardless of who owns the copyright, everyone operates under those same terms.

One common rationalisation for copyright assignment is ease of relicensing, should it be necessary. That's much less important when operating under the terms of a permissive license.

Well, they already shut down the free tier of Google Apps, which was also used by some OSS projects.

So it’s possible.

Everyone who wasn't wearing rose-tinted glasses knew this. Even when the pebble came out, I was skeptical. What can you do with an interface and battery that small?

It's too awkward to hold your arm out for the amount of time needed to meaningfully interact with it. They're big and clunky on small wrists, and the screen is way too small for people with big fingers. For the price you pay for one, you can get a really nice designer watch, which isn't limited by the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries.

It's just a silly gimmick, but so many people have buyer's remorse about it, that they forced themselves into the habit of using it.
Very nice that you can debug functions in the repl and set breakpoints:

https://swift.org/lldb/#why-combine-the-repl-and-debugger

I don't know any other repl that can do that. I know you can debug in (some) lisps and smalltalk, but I don't know if you can set breakpoints too. Still a nice and welcome feature.
What kind of trolling is that ?

I'm still trying to figure out what an Apple Watch does that my iPhone doesn't do better. Notifications might be nice, but if I'm sitting down my phone is generally on the table/desk in front of me, and if I'm on the go I probably have my phone out anyway, or can pull it out in about a second. Fitbit-type functions would be nice, I suppose, but I'd rather just get a Fitbit for a fraction of the cost.

A smart watch just doesn't seem to add anything significant in the way that smart phones did. Smart phone benefits over a laptop are huge, but smart watch benefits over a smart phone are quite small. I think we're just seeing the natural limitations of a product with this form factor.
It's a watch... what more do you want it to do than then text message, notifications, fitness tracking, and telling you Uber info?

That seems like a pretty full plate for a 42mm screen.
It's not surprise that at least some of these traits are normally distributed in a population AND intercorrelate. Multifactorial traits are the result of many independent genes. You get enough hits of genes on a finite genome describing a trait of certain complexity, and another one of similar complexity, then there's bound to be overlap.

Why would Apple write a Swift compiler in Objective-C, a language that it is in the process of phasing out in favor if Swift?

And of course it is not possible to write a Swift compiler in Swift before the language exists.

So no, not odd at all. Quite logical actually.

> If we do, then we have to consider whether we want our equality to distinguish terminating and non-terminating programs.

But this is what bugs me. As someone working on algorithms (and does not care as much about semantics and abstractions), the algorithm's correctness is only slightly more important than its complexity. While there are (pragmatic) reasons to care about proving partial correctness more than total correctness (or prioritizing safety over liveness in algorithmists' terms), it seems funny to me to almost completely sweep complexity -- the mother of all effects, and the one at the very core of computation -- under the rug. Speaking about total functions does us no favors: there is zero difference between a program that never terminates, and one that terminates one nanosecond "after" the end of the physical universe. Semantic proof of termination, then, cannot give us any more useful information than no such proof. Just restricting our computational model from TM to total-FP doesn't restrict it in any useful way at all! Moreover, in practical terms, there is also almost no difference (for nearly all programs) between a program that never terminates and one that terminates after a year.

Again, I fully understand that there are pragmatic reasons to do that (concentrate on safety rather than liveness), but pretending that there is a theoretical justification to ignore complexity -- possibly the most important concept in computation -- in the name of "mathematics" (rather than pragmatism) just boggles my mind. The entire notion of purity is the leakiest of all abstractions (hyperbole; there are other abstractions just as leaky or possibly leakier). But we've swayed waaaay off course of this discussion (entirely my fault), and I'm just venting :)
It is not odd for anyone with background in compiler development.

By using C++ they could ramp up the compiler much faster and rely all improvements done to LLVM.

Eventually if the language succeeds in the market at large, they can decide to bootstrap it.

Although I am a fan of bootstrapping, I also see a good value to expend development resources elsewhere until a language reaches wider adoption.
Banning working from home was still the wrong move. It showed that they weren't assessing people on performance. If they were, they'd have simply fired those folks who were underperforming (and as you point out, spoken to their managers as well.) Banning working from home without realizing also the probable PR/culture cost is yet another mistake.
One reason it's required in practice is meddling proxies, which are usually eliminated with TLS, unless you're a corporate user or a Kazakh.

Not really the issue. As you said, this was a group of less than 200 employees. Probably most of them were doing the work as expected. She cut a hugely morale boosting policy to get rid of a few shirkers and made herself and Yahoo look terrible right across the tech news for it. It was a huge and crucial mistake at a time when it looked like Yahoo might be picking up and it cut an enormous amount of momentum.

Obviously the even bigger mistake was not doing a massive company wide re-organization and throwing out all middle management. Middle management is only an asset if it is helping the business, and as is obviously the case in Yahoo, it is not.

I don't think my pebble time is a gimmick. Not having to fumble through my bag to pull out my phone on every other notification or to check the time makes the pebble worth it. It's not a gimmick, it's a time saver.

I also no longer have notification noises on, I just have a thing on my wrist that vibrates. Again, a not insignificant quality of life improvement.

If I used iOS instead of Android I'd probably have an Apple Watch instead of a PT, since that works better with that platform.

I don't really care about smart watches being a platform for apps. Maybe that has stalled, but it doesn't matter to me. I haven't found a single app for the PT I think is useful. It doesn't mean I don't find my PT useful. If I lost it today, I'd order another one without hesitation.
That's not entirely true. I run a 501(c)(3) and I can donate to it and deduct it from my income. But I also don't pay myself out of it (or anyone really), and I have to be careful not to make purchasing/leasing etc. deals with relatives (not a problem in my case). The issue is not control, but disbursement of funds. Giving is fine, its how you use it that is scrutinized.

Think of it this way: let's say the nonprofit needs pens from office depot. I could also just as easily have paid out of pocket and not donated to the (c)(3) and claimed it as a business expense, with the same net effect and less paperwork
