What if the company said that they were going to assault him if he was to use private messaging? Does that make it alright because they warned him?
(It's not the main point behind your question, but even if you're sideloading through Xcode, you need an Apple ID. AFAIK, jailbreaking remains the only option to install an app without getting Apple's permission.)

In response to your question: Yes. But, again, the same was true of LGPL version 2.1.

Definitely that, and the fact they cannot be copied. OTP fobs offer the same convenience but are based on shared secrets that can be stolen from the server (happened to RSA). With PKI your private key is only on your smart card and nowhere else.
Does this mean AWS will now start charging sales tax in Canada? My costs increased by 13% when Digital Ocean opened up in Toronto and had to charge me HST.
The replies on this article, and on others I've seen about the topic of online dating before, give me the impression that somehow everybody here only uses the 'free' online dating services. In my experience there's a huge difference in the efficiency of dating sites where everybody can sign up for free (even if they need to pay up later to actually get in touch with someone), and dating sites that only allow paying members.

When I was still dating online I've used multiple different sites, and the experience was always perfectly aligned with the the article (which by the way was very enjoyable to read, mostly because it was so recognizable, but also because it's well-written and witty).

That was, until I decided to sign up for a paid-members-only online dating site. All of a sudden all the profiles seemed so much more truthful and realistic. Women would actually respond to my messages, if only to politely let me know they were not interested. I would regularly receive unsolicited messages from women, often because they liked things about my profile text, which almost never happened on the free sites even though I used the exact same text. Within less than a year I met my current girlfriend who I've been with for 2 years now, and surprise: like many of the other women on that site she's a perfectly normal person who didn't feel the need to stuff and fluff her online profile like everyone seems to do on 'free' online dating services.

Moral of the story: there's plenty of opportunity to find someone online, if you look in the right places. Don't expect to have a lot of success on the free websites though, there's so much noise in the profiles on these sites that the whole concept of writing something about yourself and sending messages falls apart. Half of the profiles on these sites are fake or abandoned anyway.
That's a very specific case and it seems the main problem was that he sent private messages from a monitored work account.

If you send private messages over your company's Twitter account, you can expect to be fired, too.
Perhaps, but I think it more likely that there are tens of thousands that spend a little more than the average.

I was shocked the first time I realized how big some lottery-playing communities are, and to what extent it's actually a social activity.
The problem with paying for what you care about is how to know you'll care about it before you consume it.
I disagree with your assertion "There's tons of areas where that AIs, or rather, basic ML, could be used". The issue with AIs or ML or any probabilistic prediction of what user wants is that it takes away control. E.g. sorting your apps by usage. It's a solution in search of a problem. If you rearrange my apps by usage, you are asking me to search my apps everytime. It breaks my patterns and habits. And we are animals for patterns.

There are some definite places where AI/ML/Adaptive algos help. Examples would be Facebook search, Apps recommendation, music recommendation, smart playlists, autocomplete and search etc. where any good tech team worth its salt is already using these techniques.

It's also the reason why Knowmail or Inbox by google are not great. I go through my mail in a set pattern. I code those patterns by labels or folders and clean folder by folder. I don't need to context switch between each mail of similar definitive categories. In these mail solutions, I make decision of the context on each mail. Is it a support email or a collegue email or a mail from my priority mailing list or from a developer for tech problem?

And that's why I'm thankful that AI is not being used in the tons of places that you refer. You will put me in a world where I'm living by someone else's patterns that mine own.

At the risk of generalizing (but reinforcing the patterns thinking), it's a common pattern with Engineers to apply a solution on all kinds of problems without challenging the efficacy of said solutions for those problems.

My guess is that unless your business is actually in Quebec then you should be OK, but it's an interesting topic.
That's certainly the reason the major sports leagues have invested in DFS.
as per the top post I think the main issue that people have with the lottery is that it is a stupid/poor tax. Low income and less educated people spend the most on lottery tickets anywhere between 1.5 times to 3.5 times more than those with a higher level of education or a higher income. Notably this spending is also a significantly higher % of their total income than it is for those on middle/higher income levels.
Digital Checks can clear overnight (just like Check21). Much faster than ACH. As for fraud the rules are no different than ACH.
I think the median numbers (in combination with mean) would be very interesting. I am suspicious that numbers like that are not spread anywhere close to evenly through those demographic groups.
think about it in the legal context.. if you BYOD, and conduct work on a personal device. Maybe exchanging mails, IMs, text, whatever with a client.

Client gets upset about some deal, they sue your employer. They claim you leaked some information to a competitor. Client and employer both want access to your device, to look for evidence of the information leak. You conducted work, on behalf of the employer, on your own personal device. They have to have the legal right to search that device for evidence..

Now.. if you had two devices. One for work, one for personal. You never used your personal device for work.. then to me, personal device is off limits, unless they found compelling evidence ELSEWHERE that you had disclosed information via your personal device. However, that would need to come out and be backed by evidence. They can't just look at your device without being compelled.
I am no lawyer though, and my knowledge of civil/criminal evidence handling is shallow..
I do see what you mean, but it works for me today for things like movies.
I am a parent.

When I buy toys I want to be reassured that the manufacturers know about, and understand, the various safety regulations that exist for toys, and that their toy complies with the regulations. Often a small scale design agency will design a toy, and it will look lovely and be fun to use, but will not be compliant with EU safety standards.

When a toy manufacturer claims a toy has educational benefits I want them to list those benefits, and the research they're using to justify the claims that their product achieves that. (As well as any research that shows it is a benefit.)

I'd like them to show that this toy can help children learn the alphabet, and the research they've done to support this. I'd also like to know that it's compatible with the alphabet used for synthetic phonics. It's a shame to teach children to say "Bee" when they're going to have to learn to say "buh".[1]

But it looks cool, much better than a lot of the education app toys, and I wish them luck.

I love the dual language aspect too. That's a nice touch. Maybe in future they can offer other additional blocks for the EU countries?

[1] I know "buh" isn't accurate for the b sound used in synthetic phonics.
Most corpofacists would say yes. Anything that work might touch, even if they didn't pay for it, is under their purview. If in doubt, the worker has no rights while employed at the company. Hell, non-competes can tell you who you can and can't work for years after employment has been severed by either party.
It's great AWS is expanding. Here's to hoping they fix the dire reliability issues they've been facing every now and then. I looked really hard at using AWS for ELB and other services but GCP won me over because they solved the ELB and scalability pre-warm up issue(s).
A pay-per-article would be a better fit for me as well.

Blendle [1] has had success with such an approach in the Netherlands where they have brought on board quality publications, letting users pay per article. They also let users ask for refunds if an article is not what it seemed, which punishes clickbait articles.

> EDIT: On a side note, anyone else notice how the article names the ex-employee and not the employer?

Eh, yeah, that is weird, now that you mention it. It's like they were interested in protecting the reputation of the company, but they wanted to throw the ex-employee to the wolves.
How to integrate Gerrit with HipChat
Hm. Why did this end up in [ask]? Perhaps I made a mistake when posting this =).
Somebody please explain to me what could possibly be there that would require actual "heavy lifting"? From skimming the features, nothing there seems to require much in terms of computation and data.

It's also a general question - a lot of the new ML-ish startups seem to do trivial calculations that should be totally doable locally, but for some reason they do them on my butt. Is it because (cynical view) butt-first is the easiest way to monetize users further (e.g. through data) and lock them in, or (less cynical view) it's just like with the big data - people drink the Kool-Aid and think they need a Hadoop cluster to do what could be done equally fast with a shell script?

I don't think that you should be in the habit of making technical decisions based on the number of videos or something. Take 1.5 minutes to read a web page on flex box and realize that it consists of putting boxes into boxes, deciding the alignment and how much space they will take up.

I haven't watched the videos but it seems strange that there are 20 of them.
I watched a few speed runs from last week's Awesome Games Done Quick marathon and several of the runners were able to perform some impressive game breaking exploits in real-time. They didn't always manage it, but for most of the finicky exploits they usually had 3-4 runners doing the same trick simultaneously and at least one of them got it.
With the lottery, you are expected to lose. I would the lottery in the same box as slots, blackjack, and other games where you play against the house. The house will always win. They spend a lot of money making sure the odds are in their favor.

Fantasy sports is more like poker. Yes, it is a game of chance, but it is primarily a game of skill. Maybe most people don't have enough skill to make a difference, but given enough time, it can be acquired and you can have +EV.

Also, in poker and fantasy sports, you don't play against the house. They just take their cut, and you play against other people.

Note, I'm excluding blackjack from skill-based mainly because you are playing against the house, so its by their rules, and if you start winning, they'll kick you out.
That's not completely right, but close enough to be dangerous. Indeed, quite a few researchers around LessWrong, MIRI, FHI etc. agree that the right way to formalize decision-making should use the timeless view that you advocate. Decisions and precommitments are provable consequences of an agent's source code, agents with the same source code can use that fact to coordinate, and so on. I've done a lot of work on this, so feel free to ask :-)

Our beloved SW engineer Andrew Tanenbaum, (you know, MINIX and many books) who runs the website electoral-vote.com does not think so. He mistrusts those numbers, and is totally sure that nobody has a chance against Hillary Rodham this time. Esp. the big endorsements she concentrated early on.

At http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2015/Pres/Maps/Dec27.html#i... he wonders why the top endorsements are still missing, besides the fact that Hillary cannot loose.

I think it's more that if your life really sucks you are a lot more likely to try to escape from it (even if the odds of it happening are pretty low), if you have a comfortable middle class lifestyle you can debate pros/cons and odds.

If you are on fire and there are a bunch of extinguishers for sale but only one of them works, you are not going to debate the price/odds, you are going to buy as many as you can afford to

Shouldn't it be E: 2 in the solution?

If pirates, all things being equal, prefer violence to peace (which is implied) then E getting 1 from A is less preferable than killing A and B and getting 1 from C.

Or is it that E knows that B will be offering next, and B will offer him 0, so it makes sense for him to accept A's offer of 1?

The EU has said several times that any monitoring has to be proportionate and limited, and that you need to tell employees i) that you are monitoring, and ii) what you're monitoring.

As someone who pushes pixels around every day for a living – among other things, of course – I'd say option 3.

The thing about layout styles for CSS that people seem to miss is that you don't have to choose a single one one. You can mix floats in one area of the DOM with Flexbox in another area and Grids (once they're ready) in yet another area, and they'll work well – provided they're properly siloed – because they're mostly targeted at solving different issues, layout-wise.

Yes. You're likely to run into this construct often in C.

Lots of people do it because stupid C compilers produce better code for `for(;;)` than they do for `while(1)` and stupid C compilers used to be very common.

It's also one less character spent: A rare win/win.
You are pointing out that "lines of code" is a terribly imprecise metric. That is TRUE, but not HELPFUL. We all know that "lines of code" is a terrible metric. And for only $100/hr, for a few hours you can hire an expert to evaluate one file from your codebase and determine its size in something more reliable -- "function points" or some other system that you devise.

The thing about "lines of code" is that it's CHEAP and EASY. It is also WAY better than having nothing. Which system is more complex, system A written in C++ 2003 or system B which was written Java in 2013? Which system is more complex, System C which is 200,000 lines or system D which is 10,000 lines? Even if I don't tell you how "lines" were defined in those two estimates, you can still tell more about C and D than about A and B.

"Lines of code" is a terrible metric, which can give only order of magnitude estimates. But that makes it enormously better than no metric at all, or a complex metric which we haven't actually measured.

Onboarding is Broken – Some Amazingly-Painful Statistics...
>> "Read ad. ad. Send in resume. Go to job interview. Receive offer.” is the exception, not the typical case, for getting employment: Most jobs are never available publicly, just like most worthwhile candidates are not available publicly. Information about the position travels at approximately the speed of beer, sometimes lubricated by email. [1]

In my experience taking a job the formal way is like getting married after 5 dates. Pure gambling. And this is true for both parties. That is why you as an employer hire former co-workers you get on well with, your friends or friends' friends for the good positions and strangers for the shitty ones.

I hope this answers your question.
