It's true. And others on the top ten are almost-tech companies:

Exxon
Johnson & Johnson
General Electric
AT&T

Exxon has a really large research arm, so do Johnson and Johnson. Maybe not tech as this forum traditionally thinks about it, but I'd consider it tech.

GE and AT&T have great research arms, as well, and they are much more tech: focused a lot on communications, storage, and hardware.

Do you have any source for the claim that if you lose it slower you're more likely to keep it off? While intuitively appealing, I keep seeing it without any evidence.
Budget for GTA5 is greater than the that of even most expensive films ever made
A new smartphone enhances your capabilities, though. They are tools. So the guy waiting for a smartphone instead of waiting to see Harry Potter is going to come away from the experience with more capabilities than he had before. New entertainment like movies just wastes your time and money.

They are also powerful status symbols, like having an expensive Rolex. Someone who is first in their circle with a new iDevice is like a minor celebrity and gains attention and status. Depending on their position that can be converted to things like enterprise sales, intimate partners, etc..
Sure.

Lets say I have a cluster of 2 machines.

I deploy my Docker container using Marathon, the constraints is that it's unique per machine.

Now, I want to scale my app to 30 containers.

Without Marathon controlling Amazon APIs and actually scaling my underlying cluster to 30 machines first, the scale will never happen.

This creates a disconnect between scaling strategies.

No, I dare to say most people in Europe and probably many other places in the world don't share this "American" view and they rather just work to live than live to work. [citation needed]

Since when was /k/ parody?
A difference is that the USA requires people transferring through one of its airports to get a visa, or a visa waiver (for Europeans etc). And to queue up and go through customs.

This is very unusual. Paris might make security a hassle, but they won't look at their passport.
"Contempt of court" isn't supposed to refer to contempt of the judge, though. It's supposed to refer to contempt for the mechanism of a trial: not respecting the time or the (legally-required) duties of anyone there, basically making it impossible to go on with the work of the court system. A lawyer attempting to "filibuster" a jury into agreeing with them, for example, would be in contempt of court for wasting the jurors' time.

The "contempt of court" charge basically serves as a court-private time-out box to send people to whenever they can't handle being in court, until they learn to stop, erm, "blocking the cooperative event queue from pumping messages."

It's not that the charge has to be indefinite—but it has to be capable of sticking as long as the trial's progress is halted. The charge should definitely cease to apply if the trial manages to resume through some other route—and especially if it manages to conclude.

Remember, "contempt of court" isn't about malfeasance, either. Experts who lie on the stand are not in contempt. Lawyers who introduce non-cross-examined evidence are not in contempt. Random audience members getting up and saying things during court are not in contempt. It's only when one of these things causes the trial mechanism to grind to a halt, and then the person refuses to yield to let the trial resume, that they are in contempt. It's a process-control mechanism, and in that respect, it's quite necessary.

(That's not to say it can't be abused—especially in smaller courts in non-jury trials. But it has a well-defined good usage, and can't really be redefined without losing that usage.)

Thats funny. I had an unopened box of amazon aa batteries which really looked like a bomb on the x-ray (got to see it when they were inspecting). We both laughed about it when the lady saw what it was. I could tell he was really nervous though.

Let's Talk About Product and Feature Development
That's interesting that you say it's not mainstream. Most of the people I know currently studying for a Masters or PhD have told me it's what they plan on using once they no-longer have access to the University publication systems after they graduate.
I'm curious - where are you located? Most of the dissatisfaction I see in this area is from people in SF or the Peninsula. East Bay and South Bay seem much less grumpy about it.

Yes, it's still not cheap, but it's a world better than SF.
As an OEM you have basically two choices:

1. Do Android. You can crap it up with bloatware, or you can resign yourself to non-differentiation in software features and try to distinguish your products in hardware.

2. You can dick around with a badly supported oddball OSs and go back to Android after you waste some money. Nobody is putting in the effort it takes to compete with Android.

Maybe someone should put in the investment to compete with Android, but it isn't true that "something has to give." It is possible to compete with Android, but that will cost many tens of millions, and maybe hundreds of millions just to try. Samsung won't put that kind of money into Tizen. Who else has the potential to compete?

Really, the OEMs have nobody but themselves to blame for poor margins. If they can't think beyond bloatware "differentiation" they deserve their outcomes.
I don't agree with you.

Energy, Manufacturing, Transportation, and Healthcare are all very heavily entrenched in technology.

I would Agriculture may be "not so tech" still, but look at the amazing advancements in GMOs and equipment that are helping us feed our growing population.

Plus, who runs the infrastructure? Tech companies. What do they use when they need stuff? Other tech companies, like Google (apps), Amazon (AWS). They build their solutions using products like Facebook's React...

F-35 could splash any harrier derivative from afar

And an X-wing could take out an F-35, I mean, if we're talking complete hypotheticals.

The Harrier is battle-proven everywhere from the Falklands to Afghanistan. Marry it up with modern radar and air-to-air missiles and you will have a very capable platform - one that the F-35 - if it ever flies in combat - which it won't because no-one will risk those mind-bogglingly expensive airframes in a shooting war - won't see coming because its radar has rebooted again.
Skyscanner | London, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Budapest, Sofia | ONSITE, VISA | full-time senior hires

We're one of the biggest travel metasearch products in the world by traffic... and we want to 10x that :)

Hiring at a senior level in lots of key disciplines: backend with microservices & distributed systems, big data & data science, full stack and frontend, designers, product, iOS & Android. We are growing in all of our European offices - London and Barcelona being the two newest. In short, if you've got a solid track record in one or more of these areas, know what good practices look like, and have the drive to make things better, we're interested.

We're looking for people interested in working on large-scale challenges and building new products. We have an incredible amount of historical data and a unique position in the market. What should the future look like? How do we best use our data, our scale and new technologies to our advantage as we grow? We're particularly interested in data-driven personalization and recommendation, exploring new travel products and experiences, as well as developer enablement and tooling.

We're one of the very few unicorn companies HQ'd in Europe who are profitable - and have been so for the past 7 years. Recently we've had the director of Amazon S3, Bryan Dove join us as our VP engineering. In London you would be working closely with him alongside some very experienced industry figures in a pretty cool and central location.

You can apply at http://www.skyscanner.net/jobs/ - or ping me an email at alex (.) treppass [at] skyscanner.net for a referral. Happy to answer questions or pass you to someone who can.

On a personal note, I see a lot of freedom, responsibility, accountability. Engineers have a LOT of room to make decisions and move fast, and the encouragement to make things better. It's an exciting place to be.
I don't believe the real Satoshi has any motive for coming public. As thus, anyone claiming to be Satoshi is not something I put any amount of belief into.

Why do people care about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto?
Yeah, it's not a violent growth/crash cycle that people usually refer to as the outcome of a "bubble" (1929, 1987, 2001). I.E. the velocity is different.

Right now it looks like a gentler reversion to the mean in GDP growth from the peak of this 6-year business cycle, which was much less pronounced than previous business cycle peaks.

But who knows - the failure of a large firm that was generally thought to be solvent could set off another crash.
I second it
I really appreciate the kind words! Google analytics can only tell me how many people are reading -- feedback like yours is the only way that I can tell how much real impact the magazine is creating.

Right now there's just the one email list, and I'll send out updates to that list for all issue releases and blog posts. The frequency of posts is low enough that I don't feel like it warrants a new list. That could change in the future, but I'll definitely be vocal about changes when they occur.
What's Expected of Us – Ted Chiang
It's of course interesting that these edits, which have the first sentence "Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym used by Australian tech entrepreneur Dr Craig Wright, who designed bitcoin" did come from Australia!

But wait, how do you get your location, that is, how does it actually point to Wright? I get that it's a range taken by vividwireless Pty Ltd, and different locations.

Except for confirming "it's in Australia" I can't get anything more exact. Which doesn't mean I can't imagine Wright doing exactly that, modifying Wikipedia about Nakamoto this way.
Is the Flight Attendant Job Right for You?
It's not true for myself at all. On the contrary. And looking at a crowd in any European city, older people don't look significantly more obese than younger people (excluding teens maybe). I very much doubt that they're all doubling and tripling their workout as they age.
The 9-11 hijackers used razor blades. So, its been done. Of course, no American passenger is going to believe that everything will be fine if they comply these days so I don't think its possible to pull off 9-11 again.
Everything points toward the opposite - to the extent that TTIP happens at all (which seems unlikely).

At this point I'm most worried that this whole merry go round will just start up again in a couple of years under a new name.

The Multinationals can afford to be patient and keep plugging away at regulation until they've eliminated all of it.
CrowdRise | Onsite (Los Angeles, CA)

CrowdRise allows anyone to raise money online for personal causes and charities. Right now, we're looking for iOS Developer #2 to join me, iOS Developer #1.

Technical Background: 100% Swift codebase, including 362 test cases (and growing!). The codebase is only 10 months old and has been built from the ground up on patterns like reactive design + MVVM. This week we're launching the first internal beta build to the whole company! We'd like to open-source as much as possible, too, once we get a chance to breathe.

Company Background: We're a gang of folks on an awesome mission: We raise money for good causes. At CrowdRise, you'll regularly get emails in your inbox that the thing your working on has helped people get a surgery they needed or shelter they couldn't afford. It's quite a fulfilling job. As far as org structure goes, the LA office is all engineering so it's a bit of a nerd oasis. We're about 35 people in our Downtown LA office, near Bottega Louie and Seven Grand. (We're across the street from One Wilshire, so we have a 1-2ms ping which is fun, too.)

Hiring Process: First, we'd like to talk on the phone and ask you some light technical questions and give you the chance to ask us questions. Next, we'll ask you to come into the office and meet the team. For the iOS part of the interview, I've been keeping a Playground in the project repo with some interview questions. I'd like to pair with you in the Playground on those questions, and generally just talk iOS. There will be no reverse binary tree sorting.

If this sounds like your kinda place, please email me personally with your resume and, if you happen to have any, some work samples: (my-first-name-which-is-in-my-HN-handle)@crowdrise.com. I promise a reply to everyone who emails!

Even if that were the case, why would it reveal Satoshi? Even if the real Satoshi felt the need to step in, he wouldn't need to reveal himself or open up future communications - just post an anonymous message signed with a known key that states "I am not Craig Wright".
True, but I think you can mitigate these issues.

Especially for the NHS dataset, since you will either see the patient in there or in a death index (unlike, say, US where they may have just gone to another hospital).

Also, the scope here is more like a longitudinal vaccine study than a clinical trial. 50M people will provide a lot of robustness that you wouldn't see in a 1000 patient trial.

Correct.

You are also free to travel without body searches, just not on a subway, at least in NYC where they often setup mandatory checkpoints before you enter the platform.

Also more and more COBRA teams are swooping through Amtrack and yes they do search your property.

You are also free to travel without body searches, by a car; unless you are in a border zone of 150 miles, which currently covers the entire state of Forida, for example.

Once you get through all means of transportation, you can always walk without body searches. The problem is you won't get further than your local cigarette store, as the most highways are closed to pedestrians traffic and there is practically no other way to travel through cities/states, unless you okay with transpassing someones property along the line.

> 4 out of 5 of the largest companies on earth are tech firms

Tech isn't really an industry...

Amazon = Retail (and probably another 10-20% software and software services)

Google = Advertising (and probably another 10-20% non advertising)

Facebook = Advertising

Microsoft = Software / Services (but very diversified)

Also, companies like Bechtel and Saudi Aramco are not publicly traded but could be considered in the "largest" category. We just don't know what their market cap is because they're private.
