>Or major driver changes, huh? Never ever ever had I a working device driver turn nonfunctional overnight. Before this "upgrade," that is.

Blame your OEM, they're responsible for keeping their drivers functional. Microsoft didn't just go behind OEMs backs and do this.

>Who exactly got an EULA prompt on an unattended, locked workstation with nobody at the sear? As I say, the downgrade was full auto: evening W7, morning W10.

That's certainly strange, are you sure it wasn't just the W10 installer? Or did it really go straight to the login screen?
Well, it's ill-formed, so what the UA does with it isn't really specified; cURL presumably treats it as a path relative to . because that's what the developer(s) decided that cURL should do. (For comparison, Firefox transforms it into file:///resolv.conf, then tries to find /resolv.conf on localhost and fails.)
The "unsubscribe" link is just as likely to be malicous as any other link in an unwanted email. For this reason, I skip your set #1.
It's equity value is not all that relevant during a buyout, there are different swap methods, etc. It's not unusual for a company with a smaller market cap to buy a larger one. A lot is to be considered, ebitda, debt, liabilities, cash flow, book value etc. I also said that their valuation will eventually fall. We are in a private equity bubble, but credit is still easy to come by.
J. Scott Gration, the U.S. emissary to Kenya from 2011 to 2012 (during Clinton's tenure as SoS) was in the middle of being disciplined for improper use of email (among other things) when he resigned.

The NSA is not beholden to the State Department so they could very easily have told her no. Even between different branches of the Armed Forces there is limited ability to force the issue if another branch doesn't want to do something.
re Historically, competition is what drives humanity forward

I'd say it was more technology that did it. Chimps both compete and cooperate and don't advance much. It was the invention of writing, printing, electricity and the like that changed things.
What's your point? If you're posting a graph as confusing as this one (4 completely different x scales) at least tell us your interpretation.
This is my understanding as well. There are tribal groups of people even today whose communication depends largely on cardinal directions. They don't use the concept of left or right, they use a cardinal direction. As a result, they are always aware of which direction they are facing. This implant would be essentially training you to do the same, and possibly wouldn't even be needed eventually.

The long term issue of the TV industry is not millenials, it is kids born post-2000, who have never gotten the linear television habit.

I'd imagine e/i television was invented by a coalition inspired by Gerry Mander's arguments for the elimination of television. Watch a few minutes of it and you will wretch, it sends the clear message that television is boring. Kids programming on PBS programs the young to hate TV.

My 13 year old son watches Youtube all the time, he makes things that he sees people make on Youtube, he talks about things he sees on Youtube with the other kids at school, he even makes Youtube videos.

Once in a while we watch something on broadcast TV and I see he just doesn't have the attention span for sports, episodic television, or to sit through an ad break.
Of the apps I use most of them I use on only one device. So it's better to stick to the platform guidelines.
>You can also check the references from the article i cited.

The references are correct. They leave out significant parts of the story, as I stated.

You started with "Copyright law was created as a way to support a nascent publishing industry by granting it a monopoly. It was not created to help artists or whoever.". This is demonstrably false as shown above many times.

>I think any intelligent person realizes wikipedia is mostly astroturfed these days, and also usually represents popular opinion on things, not accurate history

Any intelligent person will look at the two sources, note differences, and note one has listed more evidence than the other. An intelligent person will also note one has a clear bias to present a certain viewpoint based on the site and single author. If there is still doubt, an intelligent person will investigate the extra evidence to ensure it's not simply made up. Then, when it is shown to be accurate, and that one source deliberately or accidentally left it out, the intelligent person will reverse his opinion as it was supplanted by more evidence.

>Note, the ones Karl is citing in his article are in much larger law journals, books on copyright history, etc. The things Wikipedia is citing are mostly pretty niche

This amuses me - Karl cites 4 sources (paper by Patterson, a book by Kaplan, and a book by Steinberg, and an online article by Schneier and Kelsey). Wikipedia cites 35 sources and 20 more for extra reading. The sources include over a dozen books from scholars top publishers (Harvard, Cambridge, Springer, more), and includes around two dozen authors, many of them fulltime copyright scholars.

That you spin this into your claim "much larger law journals" (you mean the single paper in your references?) and Wikipedia being "niche" is astoundingly dishonest.
Sure, you can do it. Many things are available on Addgene or a friendly researcher might share genetic material. You still need lab equipment, so you need either a public science lab or quite a bit of money.
Erasure is not the problem here, you need to be able to specify a type constraint that will allow you to invoke T(). What if T is an interface? An abstract class? A class with no default constructor?

The only reasonable way to do this is to accept a lambda that tells the compiler exactly what call is legal to create an instance of T.

And that's called a factory.
Good Sharing. I come from a tier 1 city in China. The struggle people in [1] have seems very distant to me. I think they are good people, but they are just too naive to think they could get decent office jobs with such low grades. (At 5:37, it mentioned the girl only got 388 points for National Entrance Exam. It was terrible.) They might be better suited for a blue collar job or a service sector job (waiter/waitress etc). Those jobs might just pay much better.

And yes, I probably have better resources than those unfortunate. But guess who had paid the price? My great grandparents. They came to tier 1 city in 1900s, lived a hard life and did low skilled work like ironing cloth so that my grandparents could settle in city. The kid at 45:47 whining about how things were unfair to him was just making me sick.
That's a rather romantic view of scientific progress but the actual history is not as nice. I think you're forgetting about the rivalry Edison had with Tesla, at the very least. In academia, fighting over who published/made a discovery first (and therefore gets the credit) are depressingly common. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_priority_di..., which includes Einstein, Marconi, and Tesla). Today, most STEM researchers won't talk about their research results before publication for fear of getting scooped.

Competition is very much alive and well (not to mention quite vicious) even in the pursuit of knowledge.
Written by a lobbyist for Microsoft and Oracle, what a surprise he didn't agree with the outcome.
I feel your pain, but after migration to linux or mac you'll probably be using SaaS apps to do this. And at in this case you could reinstall.

In the "future" (ie. web apps and android apps), there won't be any control about software upgrades anymore. Even, or perhaps especially when they're really more downgrades than upgrades.
Skepticism is a core part of the scientific method. It doesn't need social justice to learn to think for yourself.

You can easily sabotage people in large companies, probably more easily than in small. Just don't offer support when you could. Start gossiping. Gang up with one or more other people and make it seem like the other isn't a team player.

I would go as far to say it is easier to do in a large place as you have more of a buffer between you and actual work. So then you have more time to concentrate on politics.
I'm with you, but there's a strong point with Grunt vs Gulp. Gulp is the new standard, and it usurped Grunt only how many months ago?
It's not A or B. They are not mutually exclusive. She can be evil and the subject of a plot. In fact, given that she is a politician, A is a most certainly true. And given that she is a candidate for president, so is B.

So ultimately the reason for providing a panicky API has nothing to do with expectedness, its actually all about performance. Otherwise we'd always go for a non-panicky one.

Also, in languages with finally and/or defer, catch isn't supposed to be a problem.
There are several periods in the Pleistocene that see dramatic rises. The graph itself, with it's logarithmic scale on the X axis, does not make it at all clear. Also, the methods used to determine the average temperature are necessarily going to be different for the Pleistocene than now. That makes it inherently hard to make useful comparisons.

>Google is acting more like Microsoft.

No company will ever act as Microsoft did.

>They are building huge moats around their business ( Android, Chrome etc ) so it becomes harder to use some Google products without using others.

You must not use iOS because you're forced to use their apps as the default apps and they cannot be changed.

>They had no-poaching agreements with rival companies.

Steve Jobs/Apple instigated this and threatened Google if they didn't comply. To level this accusation at Google and not even mention Apple reveals your agenda.

That's because there already have been many many studies, and regulations require that each new food GMO be studied as well. If you don't mention all those, I'm guess the "tearing limb from limb" is actually annoyance at your ignorance.

I see no implementation details. How do I know the accuracy of the compass? It would suck to be passively sent directional information that was even slightly off. What if I don't calibrate it for a few weeks? What happens if I'm not standing straight, instead laying down? Does it go off randomly?

Also, I don't see how this qualifies as an implant? In their defense, I can't obviously see anywhere they call it such; the title is just wrong here.

It's just a device that sits on top of a couple barbell piercings and vibrates. To be honest, I'm far from impressed. The seemingly new-age-hocus-pocus-spirituality bullshit branding and wording doesn't help either.

For 250 quid why not get a watch that provides wrist-facing haptic feedback, maybe attach it via bluetooth to a digital compass?
Hyman started college in the eighties. Her generation, she said,
protested against Tipper Gore for wanting to put warning labels on
records. "My students want warning labels on class content, and I
feel-I don't even know how to articulate it," she said. "Part of me
feels that my leftist students are doing the right wing's job for
it."

The current generation entering college in the US has grown up in a time of authoritarianism-as-the-norm. Parents that hover too close. Schools with zero tolerance policies. A nation that goes to war against people who they shouldn't, when they should be pursuing criminal investigations and charges. Torture as the norm. Surveillance as the norm.

It's not terribly surprising, then, that the current generation of leftists don't see liberal democracy as a solution. Rather, they expect a continuation of what they've grown up with, but applied to their particular ideological preferences.
I wish I had an actual statistic, but it's definitely not most. It is quite a large, active community, and they seem to vastly prefer content submitted directly to imgur. I would expect that few will even notice a difference, honestly.
Heheh, fair enough. I was intending my analogy to refer to high level tools in general. But yes, this illustrates my point, that there is and will continue to be a demand for highly skilled engineers who can identify and dismiss the Takata airbags and locate the parts that best match their employer's business.

Particularly outside startup world. Established businesses in competitive fields are constantly trying to maintain or gain their edge, and don't have time to build from scratch.

But there are thousands of competitions going on every day everywhere around us, and you and me are both loosing the vast majority of them. For example, I'm not even competing in any of these: online gaming, hipsterdom, skater subculture, emo subculture, Twilight fans, comic book fans, jazz musicians, prayer, pilgrimage, marathon running, gossip, makeup, having a good hairstyle, vaping, historical reenactment, having sex with as many people as possible, being a virgin, charity, volunteering. I'm sure this list is only limited by the amount of time one is willing to spend on it.

Basically, as long as we have different values, there will be different "competitions" going on. The only reason we even consider some people "successful" is precisely because winning in certain areas bring something most of us value (money). But in an abundance-utopia, money would have no value, so the only important outcome of competition would be status among the people that value whatever you competed in. Which seems quite good to me - I'm sure there will be explicit "non-competition" communities as well for those who really don't want it (meditative monks and such?!).

Check out this script https://github.com/haifengl/unicorn/blob/master/shell/src/un..., which loads dbpedia graph into unicorn. You should be able to load ConceptNet without minor modifications. Later, you can refer a vertex by its string id.
Material Design isn't just about Android Apps though. They make libraries for websites too, and have guidelines for all types of devices built into the spec. Google isn't using MD in their iOS apps to bring Android design to iOS they're using MD in their iOS apps because they believe MD should be a universal design paradigm for applications and web apps. You can argue that it shouldn't be, you can not like it as a design framework in general, but it's not about Android vs iOS it's about Google's vision of application design regardless of platform.
May I add a very general tip for web servers? Mount /tmp on its own volume and set the noexec mount flag.

As a private network owner, I see risk in uncontrolled SSL.

If you provide a publicly accessible "Guest" network isolated from my corporate or private resources, that I agree that it's unreasonable to intercept TLS sessions.

If you are on my network, which exists to serve my constituents with a personal device, I have every right to or even have a duty to ensure that you aren't threatening the overall integrity of the private network. Whether that be exfiltrating data, bringing in malware, etc.

In 2016, the answer to this issue is really simple -- bring your own cellular service.

Giving people a very small stake in their work adds much greater inventive than cost. That alone is a good idea (See Starbucks). Emotions trump math - even for programmers. I expect the confusing terms are intenional to make the math harder.

But... this is the same company that was giving out work quotes in less than 10 minutes. I expect gigsters existence is subsidized by VC investment and it will be unable to succeed long term. I'm not expecting good things for anyone involved.

that my subscription to those (as a non-white) would count as internalized oppression.

I always feel that such arguments are extremely offensive, as they're denying you agency. Instead of recognizing you as an individual person, they're painting you as a member of a victimized group.

Although I've more often seen it as feminists denouncing other women's life choices, I think the mechanism is similar.

Also, funny coincidence, but the shortest math paper published in a serious journal[1] was also a "no insight into why" kind of proof.
