This is like asking for people's personal religious experiences.

I upgraded from a T60P last year, and opted for a used W520 (circa. 2011). The W520 has been good so far, but I should have gotten something a little lighter. That was the last year before the keyboard went down the road of shedding functionality. It's not just the island-style keys, but moving and discarding keys isn't that beneficial to me.

My T60P survived a lot of abuse. I've had to replace some parts and the cpu fan, but it was easier than having to upgrade to a new machine. I would have kept using it a little longer if not for the 4gb ram cap on it.

Current models just seem too much like Mac "Me Too" machines. Becoming too much like a Mac and people have an easy choice of just getting a Mac instead.
As I'd been messing about with clockspeed and acpi on my laptop earlier, with the fan spinning madly, I too thought this was to be an article about cooling those great machines of the past.
What is the unit "m" used for CPU quota definition? Does "100m" stand for any measurable cpu power? Memory is defined as actual bytes but CPU is kind of weird.

> It's not Monsanto's job alone to defend international law

There is not international law. Sure there are treaties, as you said, but Argentina produces a ton of food. If the U.S. does anything to darastic it will starve or at least decemate the economy.

Point being, the U.S. can do very little. Argentina has to be willing to uphold those treaties on its own or it will lose business (which is the incentive to uphold those treaties).
Well it's interesting to learn that my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 are 'antiquated' pieces of technology. I figured my dad's 1940s Harley fit that bill but apparently it's not the only one.

At least they're trying to do something about marginally older devices, a large proportion of sites I visit at the moment seem to expect an up-to-the-minute change in hardware of everyone viewing them which is frankly insane and that's just web pages.
Something people should consider when thinking about tools like Kite:

If you're a contract developer, or a developer working full-time for a consulting firm, you might not have the authority to determine for yourself whether it's contractually allowable to upload code to Kite's servers. But if you're working for a pro shop, you can bet every dollar in your pocket that the contracts your firm has with its clients technically prohibit it.

Kite is really neat, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea that I'd have to remember to remind consulting vendors not to let their developers use it when working with my codebase.
The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of Google.

I attended I/O a few years ago (prior to joining Google) and really enjoyed the Moscone Center. Mainly because there was lots of hotels and restaurants in the area. Lodgings around the Google campus are pretty sparse, this feels like a mistake to me. Being able to walk to your hotel after a long day of focusing/listening was definitely nice.

That said, being able to visit the Google Campus if you've never been there is really nice. As well, I'm betting this will greatly reduce the costs of hosting the event and those funds can be used in a different way. And with Google's fleet of buses, it looks like they will pickup and drop people off at the hotels they have rooms blocked off at.

EDIT: as drl42 points out, the mascone center is undergoing renovation and probably wasn't available.
What kind of study are you referencing there? I quoted a study commissioned by the Swedish government, which in turn referenced a study that looked at work culture in professions with unequal gender ratios.

Did you friends mention how children to men who take up female professions get teased in school because the job choice that their dad took? How their spouses don't want to tell friends what their partners job title is. How male nurses get question like "are you not a man, why are you a nurse?". People who walk up to a male midwife and accuse him of being a pedophile, ready to punch him? Read any of the multiple news article on how male preschool teachers do not feel safe at the job, feeling like they are under constant accusation by parents and co-workers? Same articles that talk how they dislike being the "representative" male, always chosen to do "male" stereotypical job activities?

But more importantly, the data don't lie. Male teachers and male students that are studying to become a teacher exit the job profession in rate about 450% higher than a female counterparts. Are we going to use the same old arguments that its something genetic that a male teachers starts working and after a year or so decide leave the profession?
Perhaps, but with the recent move to classify straight up toys as "drones", those things probably aren't going to have such intelligence built in.

There would be value in being able to pull up my phone and find out "Yes, there are no arbitrary restrictions on flying right here".
> All the information in the record is permanent – it cannot be changed – and each of the computers keeps a copy of the record to ensure this. If you wanted to hack the system, you would have to hack every computer on the network – and this has so far proved impossible, despite many trying, including the US National Security Agency’s finest. The collective power of all these computers is greater than the world’s top 500 supercomputers combined.

Isn't this totally incorrect?

This is awesome. This reminds me of some of the features that are integrated into Kite. This is available now though! Great work.

Yeah right. People downloading and seeding this are doing nothing wrong. If you want to do something useful you could try notifying account holders.
They deserve to suffer if they are happy about this because it means their management is dumb. You have to look at this from a long term perspective. Thinking "oh that's great, we're more efficient now that we cut out all ad-blockers" is the stupidest thing you can do because you're not looking at the full picture and just lying to yourself that your company is fine. The reason why people go away when presented with these interstitial pages is because these sites don't have reputation to provide anything 'exclusive'. Just like how people don't care whether they saw the latest cat gif meme on Buzzfeed or Upworthy, people don't care where they saw some article about something that's probably one google search away. If they keep thinking "lower operating costs and higher margin so we're fine", it will only become worse and worse since there's increasingly more content online. Instead they should build a brand--the feeling of exclusivity. For example people go to New York Times because they know they won't be presented with bullshit (let's not argue about whether this is true or not. I'm simply stating that people expect to find what they need to know on NYT and not some random cat meme or clickbait) That's why people go to NYT. Compare that to sites like Forbes, which has become a complete bullshit. I remember there were days when Forbes was considered one of the more prestigious outlets. Not anymore. In my opinion they've turned themselves into a garbage that tries to squeeze out as much revenue as possible from whatever little traffic they have, and as a consequence treat readers like shit. When someone asks me to rate which site I prefer in terms of publisher ethics, I would pick Buzzfeed over Forbes. That's why when I'm presented with one of those "whitelist us or GTFO", I gladly say "yeah i'm happy to GTFO". They don't provide anything of exclusive quality. They treat readers like shit. AND on top of that they are condescending enough to say "we don't need you"? I'm happy to comply.

The main fact missing from the article (and the comments here) is that most of the virtual items are initially generated through gambling with Valve.

The majority of items in CS:GO are initially generated by purchasing a key (for $2.75) to open a case. The game tells the user that the case contains one of a dozen possible items, but not which item. The act of opening the case generates an item that can be worth anywhere from $0.10 to $10,000. The in-game UI for this process even looks like a slot machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpFlpyZ4eBM&t=1m45s

If you want a specific item, (rather than a random one from a case) you can buy it on the Steam Market. But that's a secondary market where the sellers are other gamers. The items themselves were still initially generated from playing Valve's slot machine game.

Valve has a vested interest in maintaining the perception that the items have zero value in real dollars. If the items had real dollar value, then the act of opening cases would make Valve a casino.

That's why when you sell your items on the Steam Market, you can only use the proceeds for other items on Steam. The money is steam dollars, not real dollars. There is no "cash-out" mechanism within Steam.

Of course, this perception is a farce because there is a large market outside of Steam for selling the items for real dollars. Two popular websites are https://opskins.com/ and https://bitskins.com/ . I don't believe that Valve can maintain their position that the items have a real dollar value of zero when lots and lots of people are trading them for real dollars. It's sort of like a casino saying the chips are worth zero because the cashier works for a different company.

I believe that this is at the root of why Valve is so comfortable with all the 3rd-party gambling sites. Valve has established their position that the items are worthless, so normal rules about money shouldn't apply.

In many jurisdictions there is a tacit understanding between police and residents that 9mph over the freeway speed limit will not get you pulled over, 10mph+ is fair game.

You probably couldn't use that in court to get out of a ticket, but as a matter of enforcement a massive amount of speeding is routinely tolerated.
Answering myself; it seems to be well documented: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/de...

m stands for milli and that means 100m would allocate 10% of a cpu core. Or virtual cpu units assigned to a node by Kubernetes rather than a physical core.

FWIW, Agile/Scrum is not, by itself, something that smart people would avoid. It's good for certain situations and bad for others, like every other management technique. I use (a lightweight form of) it to manage my own projects when they reach the "mopping up, fix all the little details that the customer will be annoyed by" phase, and I am both CEO, manager, and sole developer, so it's clearly not a power thing. :-)

The question you should be asking is when would you want to use Agile or Scrum. An answer of "All the time! It's the greatest thing ever" indicates either stupidity or limited experience. But an answer of "We never use that bullshit" also indicates either stupidity or limited experience. Good managers and good cultures deal in shades of grey, and are able to drill into the details of the situation to identify when a technique is appropriate.
This is great feedback, and definitely something we need to address.

Initially we've been focused on giving users control and transparency. We need to extend this to employers.

One quick idea that we'd love your feedback on: a .kiteignore file that can exclude Kite from responding to files that match a certain pattern (e.g. "secrets.py"). Presumably an employer could put a "[^.]*" in a repo-level .kiteignore file, and anyone working with that repo would have to explicitly delete that file to use Kite with it.

We'd love to hear any other ideas folks might have as well!

Indeed very impressive that an elected official understands this.

Someone with a little reverse engineering talent can patch something like that without much work for near-free (think bypassing those FCC regulations turning up TX power in your router firmware). Someone with a little regular engineering talent can spoof or jam GPS for relatively cheap.

How is it possible to uniquely identify a computer's hardware from over the internet?

Do you think there is a database that connects an identifying factor of all computers to their owners?

A computer vendor could maybe keep a list of device serial numbers/MAC addresses, along with non-cash payment methods, but how could law enforcement legally acquire such data, if not authorized in a specific case?

And if there is a specific case, what is the likelihood that an investigator could determine a device's serial number/MAC from over the internet(how is that even possible?) and then locate the original vendor then locate the original purchaser?

The crux of this seems to be somehow uniquely identifying a device over the internet. A vendor having a database of items sold + payment method seems more plausible.

Isn't an IP address the only identifying factor of a machine transmitted over the internet? And IP addresses aren't permanently tied to machines. Even if theoretically an IP address could somehow be used to acquire the connected MAC addresses, doesn't TOR prevent that?

I'm not an expert on this, if something is wrong here, or I'm missing something, I'd be happy to learn.
I think I've even seen it in print (in some of those newspaper articles, like "Ask law enforcement questions"), but definitely from discussions with them, but Washington State Patrol's "stated" policy for speeding (at least on highways) is "Under 10 Over" and they won't target you.

Re: why - It's really basic monopoly theory - squeeze out competition, then raise prices. Are you certain that Amazon will always be content to run razor thin margins?

No, that's why those companies have PROPOSED terminator genes. There is no commercially available product that actually contains them.
There's two things the article doesn't consider enough which might be important:

1. Road access

2. Crime

The first is a lesser concern but does affect deliveries. An area with easy access to highways and truck-worthy roads is easier to do economical deliveries in. Some areas have roads that can't take trucks due to clearance, quality of road itself, weight limits on wooden bridges, stupid GPS routes, and so on. Fixing that stuff up helps.

The second, crime, is a major concern. This article starts being less shocking when you replace "mostly black or latino" with "high chance of being robbed, raped, or murdered." I cant speak to all their examples but many jump right out. The blacks I know from Chicago say the South-side is "the hood all over it." All of them have said that. Then the Bronx shows up of course. Also parts of Atlanta where crime is highest and a few thugs I had the displeasure of meeting. Kicked their ass back to Georgia. All areas where a company vehicle and/or driver is likely to get robbed with the driver maybe being straight-up murdered. And for almost no money since it's low-income areas.

That might factor into their analysis. Wisely so as almost nobody in the murder capital I live in wants to deliver to the hood even though plenty do (eg Dominos pizza or Jimmy Johns) because they need a job. A number of those report the occasional gun to their head to get a free product with manager blacklisting that house. Stories like that go around business to business, driver to driver. A truck stolen for $80,000 losses does too. Compare it to the white neighborhoods where people just don't get robbed at gunpoint delivering a pizza. Rarely if ever.

It's perfectly reasonable to refuse to deliver to high-crime areas until they get their shit under control. Neighborhoods need to start standing up for their own and ejecting people like that. Enough of that happening will let the companies differentiate more between safe and unsafe neighborhoods that are low-income. Then, companies might come back to them. Meanwhile, companies reduce their losses greatly by not showing up.

Note: I've turned down multiple, high-paying jobs because I'd have to waste too much money on security or insurance. Because they were in the hood. And, yes, there's articles about those same locations just like this talking about how avoidance happens because they're black or Latino. No, it's because we'd rather not die, buy another smartphone, or go to the DMV again cuz assholes take the license. Stuff that doesn't happen in poor, mostly-white parts of my area. They just steal gas, burglarize empty houses, sell weed/meth, and so on. Stuff that won't kill me outside the occasional thug solo or pair. 2nd Amendment works fine for that as it's not 15-20 person gang all at once like in the hoods.

> Nearly three dozen designers and engineers have spent the past several months tearing out the skeleton of Pinterest’s iOS app and rebuilding it. They’ve rethought its design, down to the font. Silbermann helmed the process, bringing his kids by the office on the weekends while he checked in on the team as they raced to transform Pinterest into a sleeker, faster service. He passed up the McDonald’s hash browns that the engineers ordered, instead pitching in by testing out the new build, surfing the app on an antiquated iPad 3 and iPhone 4 to make sure it worked great even on slower devices.

Those are hardly antiquated and this management style should be considered an example to avoid rather than a foolish attempt to impress people with how "hard" the work was, honestly.

This sort of thing is for handling outages and true emergencies, not meeting arbitrary deadlines.
