I don't feel confused about this and still think the article makes it sound like they are missing a publicly promised date (which may still happen in the future, but at the moment and regarding the July 1 date, that's just wrong), but I invite everyone to listen to the call themselves: http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/c67hnavs

EDIT: If you do add a bunch of stuff to your comments after the fact, it'd be nice to put an EDIT marker somewhere at least.
Yes, I have some Star Trek on in the background day and night (I mean that literally). It is exactly as you describe. Ugly giant bags of mostly water. But for some reason, this pared down version ("giant bags of mostly water") has persisted online.
As great at this probably is, I don't think adding yet another dependency to facebook is a good thing.

I'm getting tired of services that only accept facebook users.
Having a facebook login or any other facebook service requiring the user to be a facebook user is not bad in itself (and can be pretty useful), but it should _always_ have an alternative.

That's why I think projects like Dial2Verify Twilio are a great thing. They're still not perfect though, as some said here on HN.
Where should the bar be set for scientists to exceed?

In the current funding climate and the well known publish(fast and crazy)-or-perish 'incentives', I find it hard to find fault with the bar set for scientists.

I'm from the rest of the world and I do ;-)
However isn't it considered a kind of exploit? Twilio never intended users to waste their VoIP traffic.

Could we also do phone verification at no cost, however instead by outbound call? Is there any free/paid host providing such service?
The state already has things to say about driving. At all, for any reason. They already have different classes of licensing for driving your own car vs. commercial vehicles. And for most vehicles other than cars, you already need extra licensing to commercially transport passengers. If you are taking a philosophical stand, you had better also start campaigning against commercial pilot licenses and boat captains.
No! Absolutely not. A PhD is a huge time commitment. It takes a whole chunk out of your life which is one of the most important times for building a career. You absolutely definitely should not do a PhD just because you think you'd enjoy it.
So the "don't judge a book by it's cover" doesn't reach enough people these days.
Dramatic TV shows, movies and books are about entertainment, not telling the truth as it really happened. Almost all such things carry the disclaimer "based on" and anything can be changed and be different.
Indeed, you made a very sharp statement. It might be driven, to a very large extent, by the crazy novelty-seeking ideas of the website owners and devs.

Then if some equally stupid "journalist" gives praise and publicity to their foolish UI/UX this trend increases and perpetuates.
Unfortunately, it seems to be happening to a very large extent.
The irony of this article is that it talks about security, and calls for anti-bloat things.
Crisps are already a giant lump of carbohydrates, but I wasn't arguing they were healthier, I was saying that making a entire healthy meal in a supermarket cheaper than a packet of crisps is not realistic.
Their recommendations should be reliable in order to achieve some effect, and have some physical basis. Nutrition science has been terrible at this. They have generally been better at this than the reporters who read their breathless press releases, though. I'm a middle-aged man, and virtually everything they told my parents, and me when I grew up in the 70s and 80s was wrong, and some of it actively harmful.

Hear hear. Marco is one of the more outspoken developers, at least when it comes to Apple's broken developer relations, but for all his well-founded critique he still remains an iOS-exclusive one-man shop.

Is this a choice based on the quality of the Android developer platform, the Android market realities, or simply a religious devotion to the Apple ecosystem?

Nice speech, but creating a new side channel on the PSTN is really hard to do. It requires standardization and the coordination of telcos, operators, device manufacturers, world-wide, many of which only have partially digital networks. (Think about how hard it would be to add a new field to TCP.)
It don't believe that's how it works. Here's another question to demonstrate this: How did the University of Michigan become a prestigious public university? In part, by accepting all the bright Jewish students that Harvard blocked from admission because of racial quotas. The subsequent success and honors of their alumni built up their reputation and donor base to what it is today. So aside from this argument being unfalsifiable and circular itself (those who went to Harvard would've been successful if they didn't go to Harvard, but they went to Harvard...), we would have to accept that all the Jewish students rejected from Harvard we're just never going to be successful anyway, which the historical example invalidates.
If you were making a statement on poverty, I agree with you. Too many people are poor.
After a certain point in the stage 1 ascent, they disable the FTS (flight termination system). I suppose they could turn it back on for landing.
I don't think they say this device is controlled by Windows but it must be. Why professional software and instruments even consider using Windows is beyond me.
The utility of the car metaphor is that both computers and cars have to work safely for non-professional users. Cars are overwhelmingly driven by people whose job isn't to drive a car and computers are used by non-professional users all the time. This is a critical point, as it's a lot harder to enforce safety practices or education on people who don't have a professional obligation to follow those practices. You have to design your systems to work for people who will do everything wrong.

In terms of mitigating severity from crashes, cars are far ahead of airplanes.

Of course, air travel is a great area to draw on for security when it comes to professional computer users (developers, sysadmins, etc.). A lot of the practices which have improved safety in air travel (automation, checklists, blameless post mortems) are directly applicable to computing safety when it comes to people whose job it is.

I have just enough experience with marketing to be able to avoid images that are shit. All their loser images are shit. The author of the article is on the right path, faces full of emotions and cultural relatability is important. The best teasers (and snapshots are just the most minimalist teasers) make a promise to (1) tell a story that is (2) relevant to me and (3) fits my mood.

The problem with video snapshots is that everybody is so freaking good. We're spoiled by every random tube site doing image recognition and automatically A/B testing frames from videos and serving the most popular. Big budgets are spent on promoting movies and TV. So a lay analysis like this cannot possibly begin to scratch the surface.
It's not Indian specific either. I've seen it in a number of places throughout the world. It works anywhere that does not charge to receive calls (i.e. any sane place outside of the U.S.A.) as long as the caller doesn't get billed for cancelling.

You can get more than 1-bit of information as well if you sync the clock on your phone with the recipient. That gives you approximately 3.3 bits of information if you use the minute modula 10. This only works if you previously agree upon a meaning for values (Mod 0: Yes, Mod 5: No, etc).
Chrome also has options in "Content settings" for "Images" and "Plugins", but there is none for HTML5 video. I think the time has come for introducing one.

You're being the overly sensitive one here. You said that fat people should be shamed because being fat makes you sick, someone replied that it doesn't seem right that people who are suffering because they are sick because they are fat should also be suffering because they are being shamed because they are sick because they are fat, and you started crying "I'm the victim in all of this! I'm being shamed for suggesting that people should be shamed because they are sick because they are fat! Won't somebody think about me!"
SAML is based on SOAP no? SOAP that google dropped for security and overcomplexity concern while security studies tends to say the bigger risk is using system you cannot fully understand, no?

It seems to me like modern security by trust in "expert" rather than understanding the basics. But I guess I am wrong in my appreciation?
All it would take is providers refusing to connect to anyone that supports spoofing. Let users report spoof calls, then blacklist those providers. Everyone will fall in line real quick. (You could also just fine them for each spoof, not cut them off completely, but enough so they won't want to offer it a service to their customers. Also, of course you announce this months in advance so everyone has a chance to stop supporting it first.)

Call forwarding is fine as long as the spoofed number is also associated with the caller. But anyone that lets people call using a number that's not theirs at all should be booted off.

Hey,

ASRock EP2C602-2T/D16 has EEB 12" x 13" form factor, it may be a bit harder to find a case for it (but that's possible, at least form factor is standard). Also, it has 2 PCIe slots which means you can insert only a single GPU - each GPU usually takes 2 nearby slots. Nice thing is that you can put more RAM sticks; it means you can either get more RAM or save money by using e.g. 8GB sticks instead of 16GB sticks which are cheaper per GB.

There are Supermicro motherboards similar to ASUS Z9PA-D8C, but AFAIK they have non-standard mounting points, and Supermicro branded cases are very pricely. There is also a few other ASUS motherboards (Z9PE-D8 WS, Z9PE-D16); they have nice features - D16 has more RAM slots and D8 WS has more PCIe slots, but D8 WS cost more and they both don't use ATX form factor (though their form factor is still standard).

The motherboard I've chosen is not without gotchas - CPU slots are very close to each other, so you can't use a cooler which exceeds CPU slot size; most popular coolers don't fit. To install Ubuntu I had to first use integrated video to install nvidia drivers, and then I had to disable the integrated video using an on-board jumper (there were some Ubuntu configuration problems with both internal and nvidia gpus active), but likely this is not specific to this MB.

There may be other motherboards; look for C602 chipset, check what's the form factor, how many RAM and PCIe 16x slots are there, how is PCIe speed adjusted when several slots are occupied (e.g. often 16x slot can become 8x slot when something is inserted in another slot), and check MB image to understand how are PCIe slots layed out: when two of them are next to each other a GPU covers them both. E.g. ASRock Rack EP2C602 looks fine (it is EEB, and no USB3, but CPU slots are layed out better than in ASUS Z9PA-D8C, you can use more cooler models, and it is a bit cheaper). No idea about which brands are better, I only built such computer once.
What is Apple about to do? If I understand you correctly it's something that will ruin Marcos's business and benefit some other people, but what is it?
No. Luck and network is.

It's the only defining factor that can't be trained. Lucky beats smart. And if you take most of the really big successes like Facebook, Google etc. they where successful were a bunch of other people with equal grit and talent werent.

Many many people have grit and perseverence. Many people have talent, business understanding, good timing, excellent understanding of product and so on. And of course the more you play the game the better chance of success (statistically)

But when all is said and done unless we are talking about crony capitalism where you use political control to ensure success. Luck and network are the single most defining factors of why some are successful and others are not IMO.

First, I have a STEM Ph.D. and am in my 35th year at a U.S. corporation. Now my question: Just where do you expect all these newly minted Ph. D. grads to do that research?

At least in the US, the last two decades have not been kind to the once iconic corporate research labs. As global competition increased and the push for constant high quarterly returns by investors, more and more has been off-shored. The most recent casualty was DuPont CR&D but there has been constant erosion.
My colleagues and I have actually lost count of the number of downsizings we have been through.

Here is a test for you: Next conference you go to, look at the talks and posters. How many corporate people are there who are not instrument vendors or contract labs?
They basically turned it into "here's the legislation we wrote, if you don't pass it, we're leaving immediately", and then spammed everyone with text messages, INCREDIBLE amounts of junk mail, and door-to-door canvasing. They turned a lot of people off, big time. (Where's the story about that?)

I'm really hopeful some competitor can show up and eat their lunch, before they come slinking back. The way they behaved turned me from a fan into someone who actively distrusts them.
While seat belts work, I think what saved these kids lives were the crumple zones. Those do work twice. If the car crumples in areas that don't impact the riders that's a good thing. Nobody would have survived such a crash in a classic Chevy.

The front of that car is obliterated, but notice the damage ends where the cabin begins. New autos have been receiving upgraded crumple zones for decades because they work. And it looks like Tesla hasn't avoided the issue.

I don't think that is a good comparison. There are no safety concerns with how you use the internet. Also, it doesn't cost your ISP more money (as far as I know) to use TOR. When you drive aggressive you increase your chance of an accident and the chance that your insurance will have to pay money for your mistakes.

Would you be more likely to support someone's pet cause if they were yelling at you about how they need your support or if they asked politely? Human social structures are not based on rational decision making but on perception. That's why politics exists.

Is there any way to restore Bash on Windows to its factory settings as it were?

I've enjoyed playing around with it, although I will echo what others are saying in that it certainly does still seem rather broken.

It would be nice to have a reset switch of some sort for when it breaks.
See my comment here [0] with its genuine, but as yet unanswered question:

If you hit space, how do you know
you end up seeing every slide?

Every seems to be chipping in with these navigation hints, and that's great, but no one seems to answer my question. The site seems to be a triumph of presentation over usability, and I'd really like an insight into the minds of those people who think it's all obvious and usable.

For example, someone else said[1] that if you hit ESC you get an overview. How do you find that? What if you don't have an escape key, such as on my tablet?

I'm not trying to be grumpy or anti-anything, I'm trying to gain an insight into how people think this is a good thing, and to provide, in return, an insight into why I think it's unusable.

I don't want to argue that the government can help to raise awareness but isn't it more like personal choice in the end? I'm not obese but with a BMI of 27.8 definitely overweight. How is anyone else is going to help me to lose weight if I don't realize myself that something is wrong and most important of all that I need to change something?

I can decide if I want to drive to McDonald's or to the grocery store to buy some vegetables or other healthy ingredients to prepare a more balanced meal. The first is obviously easier and kinda more convenient but if you look at what it does to your health then maybe not so convenient at all.

What I'm trying to say is that for example I used to love Coke and even drank some for breakfast. I'm not the typical coffee addicted developer but I pumped myself with energy drinks instead. After my brother forced me to get my sugar levels throughly checked this year I saw that I was close to be diagnosed with diabetes and figured that there is no other way than to change my diet.
The taxes thing was a pain when I worked in stores in Canada. You'd get about 10 customers a day presenting some kind of ID and claiming to be exempt from either gst or PST, and as a till monkey you'd have no knowledge or training in whether they were exempt or whether the IDs were legit. Add on people buying 6 cakes to avoid gst, and you might as well just press random tax buttons on the register
I wouldn't want to go to an all private pay system, that would leave children without means out of luck. I do think there is a role for private schools, I went to one myself for high school and was very happy with the experience.

Anyway, there are a variety of different ways we could imagine loosing the tight coupling between housing and schooling. I mention downthread that I think school choice / vouchers is a promising approach, but I am open to other ideas as well.
Probably that was the spirit of the law, but the letter of the law happens to cover the sons' situation. It's an unlikely edge case that the people who drafted the law could never have foreseen.

This while article sounds like a justification for the author not losing weight.

There's so much information available about losing weight, I doubt all of the articles are true.

That being said, eating 1500 calories a day and running for 30 minutes twice or three times a week have helped me lose 40 pounds in 3 months, and after that, I re-raised the calorie limit to 2000-2500 a day. There's not much science involved, eat the right stuff and work out.
SOAP is just a message format though, so does it matter? SAML works, so long as the implementation is good (assumption, yes)

Well considering that one of his major competitors has claimed 5x higher unit sales on Android vs iOS (and the Andriod price was $1 more at the time) [1], I think you can draw your own conclusions.

A lot of research has shown SNRI and SSRI antidepressants are actually great for nerve pain, e.g. gapapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine.

They didn't work for me personally, opioids did, but prescribing such antidepressant type medications first seems a reasonable course of action
It's more about eating less stuff like you said about calorie cutting than it is about eating the right stuff (although that's important too).

At the end, the article says:
"If dieting doesn’t work, what should we do instead? I recommend mindful eating — paying attention to signals of hunger and fullness, without judgment, to relearn how to eat only as much as the brain’s weight-regulation system commands."

That means changing your diet... i.e., dieting...

rarely is PhD well-funded in the UK. You're not living well at at all, and TA positions are not the norm as in the US. The US has much more money for these. Even in CS, the people you talk of must be very lucky with rare, google-level/industry-funded positions.
Whenever I try to search for graphic programing related issues with Rust, there is a game with the same title that fills up the result pages.
Maybe part of the problem is in the thinking that "a diet" is something you do over the course of a few months to drop weight, as opposed to a necessary, ongoing lifestyle change?

>If dieting doesn’t work, what should we do instead? I recommend mindful eating

I predict much pseudo-science coming from this Biggest Loser study...

>Exercise reduces abdominal fat

And how does that work? We can now target fat-loss?

>I finally gave up dieting six years ago

What does that even mean? You no longer eat? Oh, you mean you went from one framework of deciding what to eat to a different framework of deciding what to eat.
The secret of success could very well be first defining success.
This attitude is part of the problem.

People shouldn't have to make a decision between quality of life (good salary, recognition, benefits, etc.) and doing fulfilling/meaningful work.

Wanting to be compensated fairly for your work is not corporate thinking. It's basic fairness and rationality. The fact that academia treats it as a character flaw is part of the problem.
As you say, use "rustlang". The same works for golang, dlang, nimlang, and probably a few others.
