I'd suspect the relationship with a given Union will have drastically different outcomes that are purely contingent on the people. Be removing it from the equation it gives a level of certainty for labor (sadly also dehumanzies labor to a certain extent too) for management, and if I were in such a position I'd value the predictability.

In regard to the article, regulation is starting to be used more as a barrier to entry than what it's advertised for protecting worker/environment/etc... When you slap a new regulation on any industry, the large players just add another lawyer/accountant/operations staff, while the small business owner has to personally work an extra amount of hours. Once the compliance reaches a level it can no longer be brute forced, this becomes an obstacle that'll effectively bar new entrants.
Gummy stuff
Yes.

Google has been trying to dumb down their services and products for years, to the point where the UI is something even a baby or old person with dementia can use it. For the most recent example of this see the latest update to the YouTube app for iPhone - they managed to make an already austere interface completely bare-bones, to the point where the main "home page" is entirely useless.

They do this to product after product, all the while claiming things like "power users are not our target user group" or "only 5% of users used this feature, so we removed it", and for random millenials using their phone to figure out what bar they want to go to tonight, that approach works (ish).

But Calendar is actually used by lots of working people/professionals/power users every day, and those people aren't interested in a super stripped-down "beautiful, magical" (also inscrutable) interface that rips out every feature that's not used by at least 90% of the userbase for the sake of whitespace. We need a tool that is predictable, works, and doesn't require retraining for everyone to use it.

So Calendar stays frozen in amber, caught between one pole (being actually useful) that Google desperately does not want to migrate towards, and another pole (beautiful, magic, useless) that Google desperately wants to move to but knows would alienate their userbase if they did. And while normally they give 0 fucks about that, because of GAFYD they can't just wave away the consequences of such a change - that business unit would be in serious danger if they managed the apps & services within it as capriciously as they do everything else.
1) The F-35 has VASTLY more software and several software systems that the F-16 and F-22 didn't have.

2) The F-22 software was largely written in Ada, a sane language that's great for real-time systems that cannot fail. Apparently the F-35 software is mostly written in... C++. Writing fault-tolerant real-time C++ is like walking on a tightrope while gripping a gun with the safety off. You can do it, but it's not particularly pleasant.

3) Apparently the team was considerably expanded/replaced between the F-22 and F-35.

You don't need to know BFS, you need to show that you can come up with a BFS implementation if you need to do so. You can always say "wait, remind me again, which one was BFS?" and the interviewer can certainly tell you at least what the conditions are. Maybe he might think a bit less of you (although I personally wouldn't) because BFS is a really really common name in the jargon of a programmer, but still it's better than simply blanking out and then angrily claiming that it's unfair to ask BFS.

A similar question could be "Can you print in order all the elements of a given tree/graph?", would you find that more fair compared to straight out using the word "BFS/Breadth First Search"?
I realise I don't understand it as well as I thought I did.

How about variable outputs of any commodity and countries taking any opportunity they can to increase consumption by replacing domestic production of a commodity with foreign production bought with the proceeds of extra production of another commodity for export.

No country would benefit from producing so much that it put all foreign industry out of business; nobody exports anything except in exchange for something (imports).

Going after polygraphs as an employment test would be a huge misprioritization borne solely out of an ironically irrational hatred of irrationality.

Employers can and do ask candidates far more bullshitty things like "are you passionate about providing good customer service" or "what's your greatest weakness" as a criterion for employment, and check peoples' credit history and facebook timelines.

Well, when "things" (regulation, or taxes, or transport, or transaction costs, or whatever) cost less, then more things become economically viable, so more things happen. That is, the overall economy grows.

We've had a stagnant economy for the last 6 years (at least). It is my impression that we have also had an increasing burden of regulation in that time. Are they related? I can't prove it, but I suspect yes, at least to some degree.
It's a fallacy that you cannot support both open source and software patents. Religious opinions aside, they are both simply different forms of IP, each effective for different things.

There are some really cool things coming forward in the land of dotnet.core.

Specifically you can now build projects on linux machines. Command line and web are basically a "no brainer" already (even with RC1 and RC-here-be-dragons).

For anyone seriously considering linux desktop apps, the'll want to consider some sort of cross-plat gui library, but there are a number of threads discussing it over at the dotnet foundation and some of the suggestions there seem like real "contenders"

When you're looking at C# vs. Java, I wouldn't be surprised if you found the new openness of dotnetcore to chip away at some of the "base" of Java. Maybe you start to see C# as the goto choice for CompSci classes.

Maybe the face-melting performance benchmarks http://web.ageofascent.com/asp-net-core-exeeds-1-15-million-... (1.15 million requests per second vs. ~150k in nodejs and vs. 50k in .NET46) will have an impact on people interested in lowering their server costs.

We certainly saw NODEJS was adopted rapidly thanks to its performance in 2012 http://highscalability.com/blog/2012/10/4/linkedin-moved-fro...

and paypal followed suit in 2013 http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/12/11/using-nodejs-payp...

C# under dotnet core, when written correctly has the potential to lower latency, require fewer servers, and all sorts of fun stuff.

Fewer servers means lower costs, while lower latency has proven to convert into more users or sales.

Of course, this is all best-case, pollyanna & coming from a bit of a fanboy... so please take what I say with a tiny grain of salt, but I do think this is pretty exciting stuff.

To be fair, I'm so excited about this stuff I'd kindof like for someone to take me down a peg and push a bunch of
counter points at me so I get a more balanced and realistic opinion (just be nice OK?).

I don't see how you can have a free market for public defenders until jurisdictions started suffering consequences due to overloading them. E.g. if convictions started being overturned because of the caseload of public defenders things would turn around really fast.

From what I can tell the maximum recommended felony caseload is 150-200 per year.

I'm not sure what you mean by the west doesn't tax oil. Just off the top of my head, oil is subject to the following taxes:

* Consumer purchases of the final products of oil are heavily taxed (especially in Europe).

* Oil companies pay significant income tax. Exxon alone paid over $5.5B, or about 25% of net profit, in taxes last year, while in 2013 they paid closer to 42%. [1]

* After they pay income tax, their dividends are taxes again.

I'm sure there are other invisible taxes throughout the production and rights-acquisition process.

The Division is an interesting game from a QA perspective. While client-side architecture is one thing, blocking bugs are present in the game and have been a strong deterrent to community stability.

Case in point, it was recently discovered by the community that gear with the "Protection from Elites" bonus actually increased damage taken from Elites: https://reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/4g6lnk/tested_conf...

And that's not even getting into the loot quality issues and the complete lack of a carrot-on-a-stick that has been codified in many, many games. (Massive actually made the game grindier because people were hitting end-game content too fast. Which only punished people who did not hit the content yet.)

I don't understand the point here I guess. Facebook is clearly a service to people. People need validation and they can come here to get it quickly and easily - they also come here to stay in contact with friends and family. The work being provided is you using their service - so its not unpaid feudal system work, it is you coming for a personal benefit that in turn produces profitable output for facebook. This is just an odd analogy in my opinion, one a bit too simplistic.
“We’re particularly excited about an upcoming SpaceX project that would build upon a current ‘no-exchange-of-funds’ agreement we have with the company,” noted NASA deputy Administrator Dava Newman. “In exchange for Martian entry, descent, and landing data from SpaceX, NASA will offer technical support for the firm’s plan to attempt to land an uncrewed Dragon 2 spacecraft on Mars.”
Really what the A10 needs is newer engines and sensors. The engines are an old design, and parts are expensive. If they could use something from a newer plane, that would be a huge lifespan extension.

A10s do have glass cockpits now, but the main thing they lack is FLIR. The apache longbow is a deadly night hunter for this reason. If the a10 could be fitted with decent thermal, hyperspectral, or camera systems it would be the deadliest ground attack aircraft in the US Arsenal.

Everyone likes the dog on the F-35, but it is important aircraft. The thing that sets it apart is it sensor array. There is no other attack fighter like it, even the F-22.

My final thought is that the Air Force should hand off close air support to another branch of the military, or create a separate branch altogether. They hate the job, and it's not sexy in the Air Force to be a close air support pilot.
Right-wing media (Not this article, but the outlet is owned by Rupert Murdoch) generally paints solar with a broad brush as an industry relying purely on government subsidy for its existence and removal of such would = their demise.

I'm still constantly shocked at how many games do this. In the MMOG world it is really easy to do everything right, UO came out in 1997 and the devs outright told everyone working on similar games "never trust the client" and "the client is in the hands of the enemy". Yet games like FFXI and WOW that came out many years later have the client setting the position of the player and the server just blindly accepting it, allowing for common and popular speed/pos hacks.

You have choices. You dont want Android then dont use it. You have Windows phone and iOS. Get those and have something to potentially whine about.
I think you guys just misunderstand. The question you should be asking should be "is this this right solution", rather than "can this be done?".

If you want to build robust systems, picking the right solution is paramount. In this case the consensus seems to be to fix it in hardware rather than messing out with software (it takes longer to implement a verifiable solution, harder to test, etc).

One other highlight from the report: the total lifetime cost of the program is now estimated at 1.3 trillion dollars, or $1300000000000 if you prefer longhand (up from the 1 trillion dollar estimate of a few years ago).

Oh, the business peeps are totally fine with using OS. It's the idea of sharing our own work that scares them; they worry that our competitors will leapfrog us. I think that if our stuff is really that good, then we don't really need to worry about competition from the tech angle. Especially since we are dominating an obscure niche at the moment.
Good points in both cases. For approach #1, I do think the Google example is somewhat analogous—ideally we'd survey all existing options more and more effectively, and explicitly call-out our "sponsored links." The incentives are more clearly aligned with the seekers in approach #2, but we're still in the early stages of exploring the willingness-to-pay or willingness-to-revenue-share of our users.

Our near-term goal is to grow the pool of seekers as quickly as possible and test the viability of both approaches. Having worked on some products that people like-but-don't-love, this one is much easier to market because the users genuinely love it.
This Woman Snoops on People's Phones in a Great Hidden-Camera PSA About Privacy
Since this is a multi-player game this is obviously a big problem but I've always wondered how you'd handle this in a single player game with a leaderboard.

Let's say you have a Bejeweled clone/match-3 game and a global high score board. What can you do to prevent fake scores? You can obviously obfuscate things, sign requests, etc but at some point the client needs to sign the score it's sending up so the client has the key.

You could use this model of recording inputs and playing them back on the server but that seems like it would be a ton of work if your game is popular and an extraordinary cost for keeping a simple score board clean.

Do you try and rely on subtle math tricks that mean that certain score numbers are de-facto invalid because no combination of scores could end up with that as a final total?

Is there any way to handle the issue other than deleting scores that seem likely fake (large round numbers, for example, or those orders and orders of magnitude higher than other scores)?

In non-contested airspace, its spotting individual enemy troops, their positions, and where the good guys are. You have to relay all of that to the rescue helicopter and guide them around enemy fire or call them off if individual troops approach yhe landing zone.

It doesn't surprise me to see the F-35 do so well with its extremely advanced sensor systems. A10 pilots do the same thing with their eyes and getting low to the ground.
> So yes it's burdensome but it shouldn't be something that you as a business owner should deal with. You have lawyers and financial advisors and staff for that when your business become too complex.

But how do the lawyers and advisors get the information? Someone has to collect it.

Then, as someone collects it, it must be validated and/or reviewed in some way to be considered "trusted" in some regard.

Then the other side - regulators - must have a way to spot check and confirm/validate the information which implies investigators and potentially field investigators. Since most companies aren't going to allow strangers to roam around the office, these investigators probably need to be escorted while on site.

Unless your underlying goal is really "full employment via regulatory burden" and then this is on the right track.
