UCI already regulates weight and aero features on the bike.

The rules should change to mandate 1 bike, no swaps to keep riders from changing from a "doped" bike to a non-doped one before finishing - or provide better chain of evidence reporting on existing bikes.

There's a huge difference in weight/tech from pro/non-pro bikes. Take a look at what's available for triathlons vs. UCI time trial bikes.
What was your rating?
You have to ban things that are outright bad for athletes. You also have to remember, given a competition people will do whatever it takes to win, because someone else will. So you have to draw the line somewhere.
In fact, in the US, Google HAS bought a non-guilty verdict. The US counterpart of Ms. Vestager is the commissioner of the FTC. For two years, that person was a paid Google spokesperson, and the case against Google that had been building here in the US was found by their staff to have merit, yet quietly buried. As soon as their paid shill stepped down last year, the investigation was reopened.

(Sources can be provided. If you doubt any claim here, please ask!)
Sure, but that's not the only factor in my thought experiment.

For example, "The third factor assesses the amount and substantiality of the copyrighted work that has been used. In general, the less that is used in relation to the whole, the more likely the use will be considered fair."

Using a work in its entirety surely must factor in.
No reason except it being a $15,000 bike, personalized and tuned? Or over $50,000 if it's fitted with one of these engines, apparently.

They're not going to trust someone else to pick it up, even if it's a completely honest bike.
Nope, it isn't. GLFW3 is in example use of library.
There is not a single instance of string "glf" in actual library. The library claims that it is agnostic to what actual low level layer you provide to it so you can use it with what ever you choose as render target and what ever you choose as input source. Its user of library's task to provide those two and link to GUI.

Can you explain what you mean by "tend to leave extra space". Do you mean they don't use all available cache lines in L1? Instruction cache, data cache?
We had a pretty high bill with Imgix just from resizing, and I agree, it makes sense to switch (we wrote https://github.com/humanmade/node-tachyon for use on AWS Lambda instead). However, some of the Imgix features are pretty killer if you want to do advanced handling there.
This is interesting yeah, put an upper weight limit on the bike and see how fast and long a human can go with only 10kg of technology.
Here's a quote from it:

In dozens of cases between 1945 and 1981, antitrust officials forced large companies like AT&T, RCA, IBM, GE, and Xerox to make available, for free, the technologies they had developed in-house or gathered through acquisition. Over the thirty-seven years this policy was in place, American entrepreneurs gained access to tens of thousands of ideas—some patented, some not—including the technologies at the heart of the semiconductor. The effect was transformative. In Inventing the Electronic Century, the industrial historian Alfred D. Chandler Jr. argued that the explosive growth of Silicon Valley in subsequent decades was largely set in motion by these policies and the "middle-level bureaucrats" in the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division who enforced them in the field.

With the minimum weight requirements in bikes they are having to add weight inside the frame to meet the minimum. Adding a battery + motor that provides even 20W of assist is a huge gain for a bike that still only hits the minimum weight.

The more time I spend on the 'net the more I am convinced everyone needs to own their own email address and be "portable" as services implode or are discontinued. This includes calendar, address book and anything else. Even with Gmail, if Google doesn't like you it's "poof" and everything is gone.
> a surprisingly large portion of the population likely has thyroid cancer and doesn't know it, and many have it and it isn't treated

A larger portion of the population has prostate cancer. You probably have it right now.

My mom likes to tell a story from one of her classes at medical school. The teacher had a bunch of slides of prostate material; you had to identify which prostate was cancerous. There were so many questions ("this one looks cancerous. Is this it?") from the class that he was forced to announce "look, there's a bit of cancer in everyone's prostate. Find the one with an obvious problem".

It's slow, but it will get you if nothing else does first. :/

Couple things:

1. At any scale pretty much AWS / GCE are less expensive than Heroku. They also come at an non-zero operational cost. Say, switching to Google App Engine (the cheapest from my understanding) -- would save them 75% of their bill (just back of the napkining). -- That's not much, compared to the cost of having someone migrate the platform over (multiple work-weeks)

2. S3 != Imgix. Imgix is a CDN + Image resizing service. At a couple employers ago we tried to run our own image resizing service in house, and it was a royal pain in the ass. I can go into this if you're interested.

The other thing is S3. My current employer uses S3 pretty heavily, and S3 is really not meant for end-user data access it seems. It suffers from lots of latency spikes, and a non-zero error rate. Slow, and unreliable sites make your users go away.

Debugging gets way easier if you finish the C-to-Python transition, ripping out the last bit of Python. Having the interpreter running makes debugging way harder than it needs to be. Lose that, and suddenly you can take advantage of all sorts of powerful debugging tools. (valgrind, less-painful use of a standard debugger, -fsanitize= compiler options, C interpreters, coverity, etc.)

Ditching the python also dramatically improves start-up latency.
No... tadfisher's point was that even if a fixed version of git is installed, some other program -- say, a wrapper script for git -- might still invoke OS X's vulnerable version if it directly references "/usr/bin/git". So, such a system could become compromised if that wrapper script was used to access an untrustworthy repo.

All your invocation of find does is enumerate every file (or directory) under /usr named "git" and execute it with the -v option. In addition to dumping a lot of error messages, all that would do is eventually run "/usr/bin/git -v" and inform you that yep, your system still has the vulnerable version of git installed.

In other words, tadfisher's point, which I now wish had been made explicitly, is that simply installing the fixed version of git is possibly insufficient to secure your system. You also ought to either disable /usr/bin/git or convince yourself that no program will invoke it. Disabling /usr/bin/git is probably easier.

To add a little context based on an antitrust course taken in a U.S. law school a few years ago, European antitrust law is quite different from American antitrust law so American ideas about market share and consumer choice may not be applicable.

In the U.S. the primary focus of antitrust enforcement is on the consumer, so if the consumer is getting a solid product for "free" and has lots of other options, there is no chance of an antitrust action happening.

From what I remember, European antitrust enforcement also takes the well-being of competitors into account, so if one company has a large market share and enough pricing power to make it difficult for competitors to survive, the authorities may bring legal action, based on the theory that it's better for society to have more different businesses offering choice and employing people.

The original comment was about circumventing a users measure to use a new git from homebrew by having the bad guy modify .bashrc. If the bad guy has that ability, he does not need an RCE. My argument being that using homebrew to install a nee git is fine. The counterarguments being "evil applications" and "evil .bashrc", ehich already means that you're executing the bad guys code.

You Want to Build an Empire Like Google's? This Is Your OS
People are comparing the wrong things when it comes to solar, and that leads to solar not showing how expensive it truly is.

For one, there is nowhere where solar is the baseload power, because it can't be, so it gets a bit of a "free rider" advantage. For another, solar plants depreciate like any other, but those costs aren't really factored in to a lot of solar power costs yet.

We'd need to build out a significant amount of energy storage capacity and change a lot of the grid as well in order to fully adopt solar as a baseload power source. And that would increase its cost by non-trivial factors. Would it still be worthwhile? Maybe?
ooshma spoke about developing vision and having perseverance, a reminder that's often-needed especially for those of us actually the position of steering a startup. she spoke about finding product-market fit after years of trying. she spoke about the trials and tribulations of raising funding and how that isn't always a positive step forward. these seem to be common themes for many (most?) startups, and it was genuinely heartening for me to hear her story.

As a developer, and occasionally of the kernel variant, I also prefer to keep the OS stock. It's convenient, and allows for very speedy reinstalls. It also makes my environment identical across operating systems.

Having control does not mean you have to change anything. Also, most developers are regular users.
Eh? That dis output doesn't really tell us which is more efficient. To know that, you'd need to know how `COMPARE_OP` works for each of it's arguments, which is what @Negative1 believes will be not-as-efficient (along with range creation).

Shame that you specify pixels in the function calls themselves. If it were really abstracted, it would have an arbitrary 'size unit' which the glue code could translate on the backend.

In a world where one user has a 1366x768 screen and her neighbor has a 4k display, we need to move past interface code specifying pixel sizes up front, both on the web and off.
The existing sanitizers are awesome. Since they are based on runtime instrumentation and not static analysis, essentially all of the problems are real and actionable.

After I used them to find a lot of real bugs, the great advantage of LLVM's modular architecture dawned on me. I had read this chapter before, but it honestly seems a bit bland and general... http://www.aosabook.org/en/llvm.html

But when you see it in action, you know that LLVM is a huge advance over the state of the art. Looking forward to the efficiency sanitizers too.

Thanks for the link to the paper, I'll comment on what I find to be relevant in it in case it is of use to others.

There is a part re Sega v Accolade that brings up the interesting sub-topic of "intermediate copying", which is legal, but then says it's legal because it's “the only
way to gain access to the ideas and functional elements embodied in a copyrighted computer program.”

But wholesale scanning of entire works is not the only way to gain access to the ideas of books. It's also possible to purchase copies from the publishers.

Perhaps a bit more relevant- "Accolade was not using Sega’s games for their protected expressive content, but simply to extract some unprotected, functional, nonexpressive information contained within them"

I think that would be debatable in certain machine learning projects. Perhaps much of it would fall under that category, but a large part of the point would in fact be to extract the expressive information contained in them.

What I'm trying to get at is related- Google (and other machine learning giants) is making an effort to extract the expressive content of these works. That's different from what we've seen in the past.

To me, at least, it feel like it's worth asking if it's right that the people who produced that expressive content should not be compensated for it.
I think what's not obvious to people casually familiar with Nethack is that success is hugely bound to memorizing spoilers (the NH community term for any non-obvious peculiarity of the game).

In the early game that means knowing what the various meaningless messages mean ("You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes"), knowing how to identify items from context (cost, weight, results of innocuous actions) and so on. In the late game it means knowing all the harmful stuff coming up and what counteracts it, knowing all the statuses and interactions (Gold Detection while confused, etc).

That kind of stuff is what wound up driving me from the game - anything past the early stages just felt like bookkeeping.
indeed; my point was that even a modest amount of power would clearly be a net-advantage versus no assist, despite the weight.
Measuring parcels with Kinect
The answer is maybe. The user amzn-tway8 is actually referencing two distinct cases.

Case 1, Total Compensation. Amazon does "total comp", which is your base plus RSUs. Suppose your grants were rather large, or "timed" at a downswing for AMZN. Your current vesting schedule for 2016 could exceed the planned target & salary band. I find no base adjustment whatsoever mildly surprising. But I would not be shocked.

Case 2, performance based compensation. As amzn-tway8 also mentioned your yearly compensation at amazon is related to your annual performance review. Read and understand the definitions of "Performance Rating" and "Leadership." Your manager will have discussed this with you in your annual review. Average and exceptional performance reviews will yield relevant compensation adjustments. Individuals with a very low performance review can expect a low, or possibly no, increase.
