A company offering medical services that pose "immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety" deserves scrutiny. If they knew that their results weren't good and didn't act on that information, why should they ever be trusted in the future?

if the admin of a project doesn't care enough to maintain their project, what makes you think that they would bother adding users to an organisation?
I remember friends loving it, as it was built into gmail in a way that the people behind @facebook.com email addresses can now only dream of. It's roll out, as a opt out social network with poor default privacy, was probably the wrong way to go, and lead to lawsuits and a lot of problems. I mean, I think they were dogfooding, and knowing where your coworker is at the Google Plex or who they talk to most often is a lot less concerning then if it's just any email correspondent.

Let that be a lesson on dogfooding.

But it didn't fail, exactly. It got sunset, rolled up in what I would guess was a collective organized push to build a single social sign on. And arguably some of the lessons were applied to Google+, where circles can be seen as a way to deal with buzz's privacy protection drama.

The truth is Google keeps trying to pull users away from their gmail and google docs with hangouts and google+ and google photos into a second tab, when what people really want is a SPA that handles it all inside Gmail.

Facebook is trying to do something of the same with Messenger and mobile.

But honestly, Google could probably, at any point, deal Slack and Hipchat a huge blow by sticking channels and channel management features in Google Apps for Business, maybe adding some optional google wave magic or contextual ad inclusion (you mention Twilio or Mandrill, it shows an ad for a similar company). So Buzz may rise again in some form, perhaps less influenced by blog posts and more by RT chat.

But I'm not a part of Google, and I'm just talking. I don't know him, but I'm going to reach out to the former Google Buzz PM and ask if he'll respond here.
I am encouraging everyone to vote throughout 2016. For approximately $605.7142 per person we could buy verizon, and likely gain a controlling interest with limited participation. Voting is super important part of being American, or in a country that allows citizens to excerise this right, there is really only 1 day out of every 4 years I don't vote.
You are mostly correct, it is one of the more interesting things about Japanese that the context outweighs the use of the word in many situations.

That being said, there are a number of words that are NEVER appropriate out of starting a fight. Probably not as many as English, but I can think of about 20 or so off the top of my head.

Google Hires 4chan Founder Chris Poole
No one knows why 1973 was the beginning of a long era of economic sluggishness. Oil prices crashed in the 1980s and again in 1990s and again after 2008, but none of these crashes restarted the post-war boom. Adjusting for inflation, oil achieved new lows in the 1990s, and again in recent years, but the very low prices that we see are not enough to bring back the years when the economy grew at 4% on a regular basis. Nothing has revived productivity growth to the 3% a year seen for most of the era 1945-1973. If the spike in oil prices in 1973 was enough to start an era of sluggish growth, then why didn't growth restart once the oil prices collapsed? There are many theories about this, and many brilliant people have written long books trying to explain the events of the last 40 years, but no one knows for sure, and there is nothing like a consensus on the issue, which is why I wrote "No one really knows why."

Making a list of all the bad things that have happened to women only shows to highlight the dual standard. A sexist picture? A sexist comment? I can make a much bigger list by writing down every occurrence of violence against men within the tech community. At least 10x. I'm not even talking about real violence, like the coworkers I've known who have gotten assaulted on the way home after working late. I have never seen a guy get the same consideration as a woman in regards to safety after leaving work. Ever.

The supreme court is rather independent of the executive branch and of law enforcement. Furthermore, this was an appeal of an appellate court's ruling that occurred last year. Keep in mind that the Supreme Court primarily concerns itself with cases that potentially set or clarify precedence. As they didn't feel that any new legal ground would be made here, they didn't take the case.
I'm not so sure that ever came to pass. I think all Jobs was saying is, if you don't adopt agency pricing, the value of your goods will be artificially low. If you adopt agency pricing, you can keep it high (that is, the same as physical).

"Using computational modelling, the scientists explained this phenomenon in terms of a combination of two factors. Firstly, salt stress causes a delay in cell division, leading to synchronization of cell cycles; secondly, survival probability depends on the individual bacterial cell's position in the cell cycle at the time of the second exposure. As a result of the cell cycle synchronization, the sensitivity of the population changes over time. Previously exposed populations may be more tolerant to future stress events, but they may sometimes even be more sensitive than populations with no previous exposure."

Obviously though you'd need to fine a company enough to cover 1) the damages and 2) the risk-adjusted benefit of cheating and hoping to not be caught and 3) a hefty wallop to encourage compliance.

If you only fine for directly provable damages you encourage cheats who find new hidden areas, and if you don't punish all offenders a certain base amount you encourage those who cheat for indirect gain (hard to quantify at trial) such as market share.

And to actually change behavior, attack the leaders directly. Corporate fines mean nothing! They're usually not even relevant to the directors and officers compensation. Prove conspiracy, force the company to withdraw legal aid, and attack their personal assets.
Did you read TFA? Someone did an in-depth study of a market incident, noted a gap in the market, someone else filled the gap and made a successful product. They both presumably view it as a desirable outcome. Your aversion to it as a (hardly heavy-handed) government intervention is not really their problem.

If the same guy had written a white paper and tweetstorm while employed as a VC or investment banker or economics professor it wouldn't exactly be the difference between liberty and slavery.

It's true for the most part. I've lived and worked in France, I've been in ~11 countries and lived in Mexico as well. I speak 2 languages and my eyes are fully opened, not prejudiced against any region of the world. Including the southern US, I just speak to realities and my anecdotal experiences.

Which may be worthless, or anger people.. but I have more experiences than most so I tend to trust my own thoughts more than some politically correct statement about the southern US (where I live) not matching up with stereotypes.

The southern US is like the northern US but basically taking the trailer trash from the north and multiplying it many times over. That's the south in a nutshell.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. There's always some truth to rumors and stereotypes. I don't dislike the south or southerners, but when I said "lower quality of people" that was a poor choice of words. I should have said a general lower quality of education. I also think it's clear the general standards for anything in the south are lower than northern states. They'll give a driver's license to anyone south of the Mason-Dixon. I hate to say it but I think this is indisputable. I love southern folks as much as I do any other, they're very friendly and good people. Some are worse than others and the truly vile ones are no more a larger percent of the population than any other ethnic group's bad apples.

That said, I do prefer Mexicans to Americans of all stripes. Just a better culture, friendly, open, they take insults from Americans in stride and the insults never stop from my nation. Amazing people to be honest. Point being, my views are well-traveled and are not exactly some US-Yankee carpetbagger elitism that my initial statement suggested.
One Veteran CISO Shares Strategy for Vetting Cybersecurity Startups
We're actually growing a rather nice machine learning ecosystem on the Rust side, though obviously it's much less mature than the C/C++ solutions. See https://github.com/autumnai/leaf/blob/063ce978004b8bf4b7fc74... for an example.
Not the OP, but w.r.t. [1] vendored dependencies are especially helpful if you happen to deploy the software on premise where you might not have full system access and in some cases, no internet or also strict policies on what can be installed.

Rust makes a fantastic first systems language, due to the fact that the compiler guides you in learning correct low-level memory management and prevents things that would just cause your C program to crash unhelpfully.

If you don't need a language that's as low-level as possible, then Go is also a good language to learn. It doesn't have much to teach in the way of memory management, but it does have pointers.
It's cause for concern, but I don't see how this is different from any other society or historical period.

The syntax of MSSQL is very behind the competition and still based on Sybase. Even basic string functions aren't available or have weird arguments.

If you aren't locked into their eco-system stay clear away from it. Otherwise you will regret it, as the licensing costs are very expensive and per CPU core (think Oracle). Better switch to MySQL or Postgres or Lucene, etc.

"Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific, instead of leaping over fully internalized transforms without explanation?"

There are a whole lot of people here who have only done web dev or high-level x86 application development, and many who are only passingly familiar with C or HW.

This discovery method is inspired by the way Go does package name delegation. It is really trivial to do.

We have gotten feedback that people would prefer to use a well-known URL. At the time we started building appc the well-known URL stuff seemed to not be getting much traction but this has seemed to change over the last few months. See this issue: https://github.com/appc/spec/issues/160

Overall, I think this sort of delegation and naming is really important despite the shortcomings of particular methods. I hope that as the Open Containers Initiative proceeds that we are able to make this part of the standard. If email can do name delegation to hosting providers our server software certainly should too.
The Personnel Economics of the State
The eBook fixing collusion is so obvious. I remember when eBooks where $4 because it makes sense -- no printing, no shipping, that's what it should cost. Now it's $16.99 for some eBook, and I think it's a disgrace because authors and customers get screwed with the rigged pricing.
I said they are the best, not that they are still very good ;-)

But I agree with you. My next one will be a kinesis.
I don't know enough to verify your claims, but your argument has enough logical fallacies in it to make me question your seriousness:

> nice vintage gear collection - but that doesn't keep it from being factually wrong.

This is a snide remark. You are implying that the presenter believes his vintage gear collection somehow adds to his factual standing. Of course it doesn't, nor did he imply it was.

> the true SNR of a professional reel to reel tape master recorder is somewhere around 100dB

That doesn't contradict anything he said.

> Anyone who knows so little about recording equipment they think this is equivalent to 13 bits of digital resolution shouldn't be making videos about this subject.

This is equivalent to just saying "he's wrong and he doesn't know what he's talking about". You're not adding anything to the conversation. You may or may not know anything about the subject, but you haven't added it here. If you calculated the bit depth equivalent of a Studer and showed that it was higher than 13 bits that would be interesting.
What Apple Did and Didn't Do When China Knocked on Its Backdoor
There's a funny story I read a while back about this play. If you did this for long enough eventually you'd be the biggest company in the S&P 500 (technically maybe not, but in practice very much so!).
Do games actually make people happy? I used to play a lot of games thinking they would make me happy, but they hardly ever did. Mostly the games turned out to be a lot of extra unpaid work for no tangible benefit. Just grinding away trying to reach the next level, another cut scene, a higher score, etc. So I've pretty much quit playing.
The publishers settled. They admitted guilt. Collusion happened.

Beyind that, Apple's practices extended to iOS. All ebook vendors from then on had to take 30% cut of whatever price the publisher. Then apple forced all vendors trying to sell their wares on iOS to only sell through their merchant interface, with no price disparity allowed. And what is Apple's cut? 30%.

So any vendir trying to sell ebooks on iOS had to relinquish all their margins to Apple, pretty much locking all vendors out of the sales point.

Amazon is the only one that benefitted from this, ironically, since they were well established and did not need iOS sales to survive. All other competitors just withered away.

If you think of rkt as an analogy to `apt-get` I think it makes a bit more sense.

apt-get has methods for downloading and installing software over the internet. Similarly, rkt has methods for downloading and running container images.

And like apt-get rkt doesn't build packages but relies on a spec and a build system.

rkt also avoids being an init system. This allows for rkt to be used with existing init systems for things like system services, daemons, etc. It also means that you can use rkt containers alongside your "normal" init tooling.
There are a few EUV transparent materials for light source windows, including silicon and zirconium. See http://www.luxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/EUVL-Paper.p...

There are other concerns wrt contamination though, e.g. masks degrading in the EUV radiation and emitting contaminants that end up on the wafer. This is more likely to happen at higher power levels.

These and other concerns are discussed at Chris Mack's website http://life.lithoguru.com/ (he is quoted in the linked article). His series of posts on the SPIE Advanced Lithography Symposium 2016 is particularly interesting and seems to be the basis of most of the more-popular press articles on EUV in the last week.
While I'm not sure there's no language preventing call-by-reference semantics around the pointer value, I agree that you could not distinguish without invoking undefined behavior, so it probably doesn't matter any.

Interestingly, the free() might poison not only the pointer passed in but all identical pointers as well.

This seems to allow us to implement pointers with two hops - the bits stored in a pointer value indexing into a lookup table that contains the actual address of the object. In that case, free could manipulate that table, invalidating existing pointers.
This article misses the biggest cost Spotify have at GCE - analytics. Spotify has migrated a 90 PB Hadoop cluster running on 2000 servers to GCE. That cluster was running Hadoop jobs (mostly Hive) 24x7. The YARN job queue was always full. They now have to pay for the storage and processing costs for that. How much will they pay? I don't know, but I know from their history they are very good at getting discounts on infrastructural software (e.g., their Hadoop software was licensed from Hortonworks and they got an incredible price, because Hortonworks needed a reference customer - sound familiar?)
