Talk about creating more problems than you solve. If this was such a good model, why aren't all linux distros shipped with a minimal set of tools, where the users are given a "go build it all yourself" note on the box? I will tell you why; because it's a suckfest that can drag expert and non-expert linux swashbucklers into the weeds for untold amounts of time depending on the software that needs to be built.
But science doesn't suggest what we (as humans) should do, it just explains how things work. Of course our decisions should be informed by science, but science is a tool of understanding, not a philosophy or a mission or a goal unto itself.
>Pfeffer quotes Article 23 on the "right to work," and indeed full employment has always been a bizarre fetish for Keynesians, social democrats, Marxists and conservatives. The Protestant work ethic is the right-wing version of the labor theory of value. It is a contradiction how so many bemoan the supposed rat race working conditions and then advocate the "solution" of having the state put everyone into the rat race through full employment policy.

There's a really banal reason for this. The vast majority of people want jobs.

In Argentina when they implemented an incredibly popular "right to a job" scheme (Plan Jefes) and then replaced it with basic income (i.e. get the same money but you don't have to turn up to work), a majority continued to do their jobs.

It helped that the jobs that the state were paying them to do were, by and large, necessary and rewarding - looking after the elderly, etc. I doubt if the work they were doing were debt collection or cold calling to sell insurance they'd have wanted to continue working.
Has anyone actually used more than 512 PIDs in their docker container? I am curious if the new limit will impact anyone.
It may also decide that it's necessary to reduce the population by implementing social purging, starting with the people who disagree with this decision.

Purge everyone who doesn't agree with the purge.

I was a SI/BI engineer for a while; let me chime in to defend my people just a little bit :)

Certainly there are lots of bullshit metrics, there is often very little desire to audit data or even do a by hand sanity check once and a while.

That being said, there were _many_ engineers who actually gave a fuck about making sure we had telemetry in actionable, meaningful, and appropriate places, and unfrotunately the gap in analytics would take place far over their heads, when the upper management would produce documents with all the beautiful charts and graphs, communicating.... absolutely nothing.

Graphs with mixed axis scaling (log vs non log) graphs with mixed units, conclusions that are a total stretch from the data that's there and ignoring obvious conclusions that don't line up with what the managers want to say.

For there to be USEFUL BI (and such a thing certainly can exist) there needs to be a "this isn't bullshit" mindset up and down the whole stack, not just in engineer land.
The original iPhone wasn't slow at all. One of its main selling point was the speed of menus and apps (I forget what they actually called apps before the app store).

I think you forget how crazy slow feature phones were. Opening a GPS app and finding your location could take 5-10 minutes in 2007 on a feature phone.
I think MDN can be a good reference when you want to find out details about something, but I don't think it's very helpful to newbies who don't even know what it is they're supposed to be learning.
> It seems like buyers prefer protection a lot more than sellers do.

It's a consequence of the regulations on credit cards. The cardholder can reverse allegedly-fraudulent transactions. Paypal can't reasonably do something else while processing credit cards, so they don't.

It's quite stupid because you end up with customers who aren't even looking for credit, they're willing to prepay and are willing to trust the seller, they just want to transfer funds digitally. But they can't because the seller/card processor doesn't trust the buyer not to reverse the transaction and the regulations don't allow the buyer to abandon that right up front.
I guess in the same way everyone in the United States can run for president, and with enough like minded people, win the elections.
I feel for both sides of this. On one hand, as a consumer, I think it's unfair to force users to either buy a new iPhone or do repairs via Apple (do they even do them all?).
As a business, I understand how non-Apple repairs can damage a brand.

Our first step should be replacing first-past-the-post voting with something that isn't mathematically guaranteed to result in a polarized two-party system.
PayPal is more relevant than ever. As simple as it seems, sending legitimate money from point A to point B could not possibly be any easier than with this service.

Their invoicing system is ridiculously simple, nearly everyone I'm working with keeps cash in there or connected to it (or very worst, a credit card attached), it hooks up easily with FreshBooks, contractors like it since PayPal handles the 1099-K themselves, and it just works.

I see no reason to change. I just don't keep an absurd amount of money in the account and I feel safe using it.

Especially for streets with no limit it's useful to separate them, or people literally fly through the streets.

This isn't the first time Twitter has bought a pre-launch company for this much, and the answer is probably the same way that Twitter managed to value Vine at $30 million before its launch: http://allthingsd.com/20121009/twitter-buys-vine-a-video-cli...

For any pre-launch company, this would mean looking at the product, the team involved (as in acquihires), and the fit with the parent company.
I posted this earlier today, but the current article (from bbc.co.uk) does a poor job covering the issue. In summary, Apple iOS uses a validation system to ensure Touch ID sensor is not maliciously replaced or modified. The Touch ID sensor has access to the iPhone Security Enclave, where fingerprint data is kept. A malicious sensor could, hypothetically, steal fingerprints from an iPhone user unknowingly. This could be used to unlock the phone and make purchases through Apple Pay without the owner's permission. To prevent this, Apple uses a validation system whenever the Touch ID sensor is repaired. When iPhone is serviced by an authorised Apple service provider or Apple retail store for changes that affect the touch ID sensor, the validation paring is updated. Third-party repairs to the sensor will not update the pairing, and will fail validation when using Touch ID. This validation error is shown to users as the mysterious "Error 53".

If the validation fails, the device will function mostly fine, although with Touch ID disabled. However, the device will be prevented from restoring or updating to a new version. Restoring from backup still works. I'm not too sure why restoring or updating is blocked, but my guess is that they want to prevent malicious software from being uploaded in this process.

From the Daily Dot article, if a user encounters this error, Apple's current resolution is a full device replacement. It may be overkill I don't think Apple expected many people to encounter this issue, so it seems reasonable why they chose this option.

This is a great security feature for users, and I'm really glad Apple engineers considered this situation. Unfortunately the media is blowing this and leaving crucial details about what's happening and the reasoning behind it.

Here is Apple's statement on the matter:

We take customer security very seriously and Error 53 is the result of security checks designed to protect our customers. iOS checks that the Touch ID sensor in your iPhone or iPad correctly matches your device's other components. If iOS finds a mismatch, the check fails and Touch ID, including for Apple Pay use, is disabled. This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent a fraudulent Touch ID sensor from being used. If a customer encounters Error 53, we encourage them to contact Apple Support.
same here, except you can't use the same paypal account for credit cards issued in different countries. but you just end up using two paypal accounts.
If you were going to commit fraud, wouldn't you take steps to be anonymous? I'd guess PayPal has data that shows a significant number of fraudulent transactions happen through VPNs.
This type of bound can be expressed with a trait and associated type already in Rust, fwiw.
There's a passing reference to accessibility in the article.

It's probably like a lot of things, the takeaway doesn't need to be the extreme that safety features on roads are bad, it can be that each safety feature on a given road should be evaluated as to whether it is truly beneficial.

(Which I think is sort of banal thought, oh well)
Remind them that DOS was pretty small. Must be way more secure than Linux due to reduced attack surface. ;)
I feel for both sides of this issue. As a consumer I am upset that I am essentially being forced to either buy a new iPhone or do my repair via Apple (do they even do all repairs?).
Although, as a business I understand not wanting third party repairs as those can damage your brand if done incorrectly.
Outside of a few areas home prices are not absurd. The Fed doesn't care if studios in SF fall to under $2k a month. Same for Valley salaries.
I would love to see a profile trace to see what queries were being run!
people suffer the consequences of wrong decisions. If you are at fault in an accident, your insurance company should raise your rates

How do you establish at- fault behavior on unmarked roads? if there are no markings, and I'm supposed to just "do the right thing", then by definition I can not be at fault because my actions were entirely performed within the framework of the unmarked road constraint.

Of course, there is a solution to this: universal, publicly funded ( via use taxes ) auto insurance.

I suppose another alternative would be to re-establish private toll roads. (In the US these are quite rare, although there are some public toll roads.).

Pay extra for roads that are marked and patrolled. (In that case, reduced price insurance could be purchased at the time of paying the toll.)
I run a small business in Canada, and a hundred times this. For a long time my options were: PayPal, or sign a contract with a bank to get a binder with some instructions to use a horrible API. There may have been some weird options like e-gold, but nothing I could pitch to a business user. PayPal was easy to set up, captured credit cards so I didn't need to think about PCI, and did a non-zero amount of work to block fraud. We've since migrated to start preferring Stripe over PayPal, but it was Paypal all the way for the first 5 years.

Stripe only launched in Canada late 2012: https://stripe.com/blog/stripe-in-canada
So did braintree: https://www.braintreepayments.com/blog/braintree-in-europe-a...

And we're america's hat. Many countries are still bereft of options.

(disclosure: I'm now a stripe employee, opinions are my own)

It seems like auctioning the visas to the highest bidders is a win-win solution and good for American workers. Why don't they do anything about it? The following is one reason.

Look at who benefits from the system. On the surface, outsourcing companies who can hire cheaper IT labor. Who are their customers which gain from lower IT service costs? Large corporations with influential ties to the powers that be.
I use Tableau almost daily. Initially I found it harder to work with and avoided it for a while. On 2nd attempt, for some reason, everything clicked into place and I now find it fairly intuitive. Some of my opinions/experiences about it:

- Beyond simple queries, it becomes more easier to setup a view or two behind Tableau than to do it purely in Tableau. E.g. multiple level of latest times, more complex aggregations etc are more easily done in SQL than via Tableau.

- For some things Tableau doesn't do what we typically expect. Couple of examples:

- If you run a custom query joining two tables with some of the column names being same in both, Tableau cannot deal with it. Setting alias for columns using "as" works fine in SQL so I think it is not unreasonable to expect that to work.

- I recently tried to chart lag in request/response in microseconds. The data is stored as TIMESTAMP in our Vertica database. However, I found that Tableau doesn't show time more granular than seconds. That is kind of odd in today's common low-latency high-performance technology environment

Having said that, I really like the features it offers viz. Calculated fields which don't go away just because I change the data source, drag-and-drop dashboard constructions, very nice visualizations etc.

So we have a supercomputer capable of running the country and you basically want to put the stupid hats on and limit its thinking to bipartisan bickering and two semi-opposing points of view that virtually no one holds but is currently forced to agree with for lack of an actual democratic process? Why not just use an 8086 processor or other 8-bit CPU then, instead of wasting all that power, because I'm sure you can get the same answers with both at this point. Every 8-bit CPU I know of can be programmed to look up values in a hash table and spit out the expected results, just like human politicians program their brains to do.
The US should staple a Greencard to all PhDs and Masters students in the STEM fields. Most grad students have some support of funding (NSF/NIH etc) and it makes sense for these students to work here and pay off the funding instead of letting them leave the country or have them be stuck in a sub-optimal situation, being tethered to one employee.
I think he meant recurrence when he wrote recursion, because recurrence is popular in deep learning (RNN) and recursion is not.
If you have a solid fundamental understanding of programming you can jump in to most tutorials. The problem is that many tutorials assume knowledge like this, which is good in your case, but bas in others.

Someone suggested bootstrap below, which I disagree with for a beginner but has a strong usecase for a programmer who needs to wrap their backend in something presentable. I would consider learning by using something like milligram or skeleton grid or even something much more opinionated like zurb foundation or bootstrap.

This is because, at least for me, most of the difficulty was around 3 things:

* modularity and structure

* actually positioning things

* terms and concepts

The browser is a processing engine which I think is in c++ or C but the point I am getting at is the big issue with onbboarding new programmers/designers is that they have a massive amount of peripheral knowledge to gain.

So, I personally liked envato http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/courses/30-days-to-learn-html-... which as a complete beginner took me 10 days. A competent programmer could probably finish in a day and get the relevenet bits, then use a grid and be pretty good.

tl;dr you can learn 90% of html/css in ~24-48 hours, that other 10% will take years.
We have the same problem here in the UK. For clarity i've had to give my job over 3 times in my career to Indian outsourced employees, including for Cisco (my last employer before the current one)

The rules are not being applied, but for me it's quite simple. If you want to bring a foreign worker in, you need to advertise it on a government website for a month. These details will include salary, role, skills, the sponsoring company as well as the one they will be ultimately working for.

I spent the last 5 months unemployed, but i'm normally a devops/sysadmin. I know my job went to India. I don't mind if they're better, but most of the time they're not. I didn't claim unemployment benefits as I didn't want the shame and the hassle, including having to spend 20 hours a week looking for work on the governments website. If this website included the details of the jobs that allegedly couldn't be filled by a UK guy i'd be far better equipped to get a job I am good at where a company is trying to cheap it out.

Note - I am not trying to get at Indian employees here - the RF guys at my last place were superb and better than anybody in the UK as we don't train enough of them here - but I am very annoyed where a company can twist the system to avoid paying UK wages for a UK job.

Do you know if geoblocking is explicitly excluded from the TPP definition of TPM, or if Australia has a side letter to that effect?

From http://www.zdnet.com/article/tpp-ip-chapter-leak-reveals-us-...

"Another clause proposed by Australia, the US, Singapore, Peru and Mexico would also seek to prohibit circumvention of "technological measures" put in place by copyright holders over their works. The definition is broad and there are a number of exceptions still up for debate, but it could be seen to include the use of virtual private networks to access geoblocked content such as Netflix from outside the US. This comes despite the Australian negotiators seeking to raise the issue of geoblocking as a concern for Australian consumers as part of the negotiations."
But the whole sentiment that looks down on poverty and exalts exorbitant wealth in of itself which the author underlines, emerges from the same train of thought that treats labor and full employment as the end of all ends. There's little functional difference between the conservative presenting a just world where hard work ensures success, from a social democrat who argues for large-scale centralization to shuffle people into the same capitalist institutions they allegedly look down on because "people want jobs". They're both far-reaching implicit assumptions of a labor theory of value in structuring a society.

Indeed, it was the neo-Keynesian focus on full employment that led to short-sighted reliance on economic models like expectations-agnostic Phillips curves and IS-LM models with interest-sensitive money demand to the exclusion of other macro considerations, that ultimately culminated in a stagflation bust in the 1970s. Nor was this even a perversion of Keynesianism. It was Keynes himself who formulated simultaneous-equations IS-LM in lectures from 1933-1934.

Employment as end in of itself also led to mercantilist-era injustices.

But again, this is tangential to the issue of money.
Government always derives its powers from the consent of the governed, no matter what system is in place. If the mass of the populace wants to break a group badly enough, they'll do what it takes to see that group broken no matter what the constitutional form of government allows. All you can hope is that you have a system that's good enough at keeping that barrier sufficiently high that you essentially need a supermajority of enemies before that happens to anyone in particular. The American system has done a semi-good job at it even though there have been several major oversights (African slavery, Mormon persecution, Japanese internment, etc).
This is my 10th year of employment in Bay area and by any reasonable estimates, I am not laying eyes on my Green Card for another half a decade. And no, i am not in the "slow lane". Makes me wonder if employers are lobbying Washington hard for things to be this complicated.

It's not about hiding your identity from the bank, it's about obfuscating your traffic from whoever is watching your connection.
There's no point in having municipal bonds in the first place. The federal government can borrow at zero percent to bomb little brown children or subsidize wall street bonuses. Flint can't borrow at zero percent to pay teachers or fix its water mains.

What confuses me is why people like you are personally are more concerned with cutting teacher pensions than cutting war budgets when it's fairly plain which one we actually want more (assuming you don't want to live in a country full of dumb people that is...).

What do you use it for?

If it's for analysis why not use python or R, way more powerful and full of tools & libraries that give you speed you need?

If it's for reporting, why not to use chartio, looker or anything that connects directly to your db?

My opinion: If you know some python or R, you might still need chartio, looker and similar but Tableau doesn't make sense anymore.
