Yeah true, and Apple's "Cash" isn't just cash but likely includes tons of government debt and other low-risk securities that return somewhere >0. They have an exceptional treasury team, which probably my favorite fun fact about Apple, operates a separate company called "Braeburn Capital".

Some take this a step further and gaze at the sun. It's called "sun-gazing" and the proponents are thoroughly convinced of its effects. One man, Hira Manek, says he lives off sun-gazing. Some say it has cured their vision.

The basic idea is that you gaze at the sun for ~10 seconds the first day, then up another 10 seconds next day, and so on... you eventually grow upwards to 40m.

Having tried it a few times, I would attest to its beneficence, but don't expect any serious scientific study backing it. It's very, very new-age. Also, don't go blaming me if you hurt your eyes. Do your research on it.
Good call. It's broad enough to catch DNSSEC in a suit. I double up on claim to buy this company given its patents are on Internet foundations. Too risky to leave to trolling.
The important question is how did they determine the people were happy?

If you believe in fairy tails and that you are one of the few choosen righteous who gets eternal happiness you might very well believe you're happy all the time. You might also be full of a lot of shame/guilt put on you which causes you to say you're happy when you're really not.

I find it interesting that James Burke, in an interview some years after his Connections series, discussing how he'd continue the series, said of the jet airline that he'd explore its role as a vector of international disease transmission.

I think Occam's razor applies here: It's not that management teams have big plans for the money, or that they "believe that something big is coming, but... they’re not sure what it will be". It's that they don't know what to do with the money and there isn't much pressure to disburse it.

Cash hordes are reflected in the share price, so investors can monetize the cash by selling a few shares. If you're a "buy and hold" investor you don't want a dividend because that's a taxable event.
No it isn't. Amazon owns the majority (although not all) of the products sold on its platform.

Airbnb owns 0% of the houses put up for rent on their platform.
If mixing our analytical culture with feminity resulted in a surprisingly insightful article that wouldn't have been written otherwise, it's possible that mixing it with gayness will produce some other surprising insight.

Obviously we won't know until it happens, just like we didn't know there were insightful things to be found about crying before a woman wrote this article.
You don't have to use tmux as a daemon manager to find this change annoying.

The way we do development where I work is by having two people ssh into a server, and open a joint tmux session. These sessions generally last a week or more, and you generally log out of ssh daily.

Or even if you're not pairing, just being disconnected over lunch is a long enough time for SSH to disconnect. Finding ways to overcome that (besides changing the systemd config) are even more duck tape fixes.

Automatically terminating processes when a user logs out is a bad default. Sure, leave it as an option because there might be some people that would find it useful, but changing the default without a good reason is bad policy.

Not entirely. If you're willing to set headers you can do so as a trivial anti-CSRF measure. Just setting a header like "X-Totes-Not-CSRF" would suffice as CORS will prevent arbitrary sites from setting such a header. Its value does not matter.
It's a really complex question. As a trade-off between really tasty oranges or good looking cardboard available year round I will take seasonal oranges. I used to love Oranges, but they have become so bland I simply stopped.

As to clothing, I have bought cotton clothing that barely survives a single wash. Sure it's cheap, but it's like they started designing clothing to look good in your closet if you never wear them. It feels like your choices are 50 loads for 60$ or 2 +/-2 loads for 5$.

PS: The sad thing is even orange juice has gotten worse. Fresh or frozen makes little difference they both suck.
"Not wrestling specifically"

Why not ? It's arguably the most basic of human athletic endeavors (besides walking and running), it's extremely beneficial to your health (nothing exercises every single little muscle in your body - but wrestling does) and depending on where you set your output dial, it's as high output of a sport as is possible.

Further, the popularity of BJJ opens up a lot of venues and increased interest - male and female - all over the country.

From a business perspective, they can convert and retain a lot more users if they actually try to dampen the racism on the website.
Yes, this is why most password leaks matter. A huge number of people use the same password across multiple sites.
Sure, these are reasonable arguments, which are commonly used. Clearly this justifies holding on to some cash. But I question whether it justifies holding on to this much cash. At some point it has to reach diminishing returns.
I got in a lot of trouble in high school for playing with the DOS prompt in Windows. My teacher told the principal that the scary black window full of monospace text was -and I'm quoting here- a "highly sensitive zone" on the computer that no innocent student would access. Obviously I protested, and predictably the principal didn't believe a word of what I had to say.

I believe I had to stay up late writing a 4-page apology paper to forestall disciplinary proceedings since my family was planning to go on vacation the next day.
That's already governed under trade secret and copyright law. Their design itself would be protected the second it became a published work. Anyone could clean-slate the implementation themselves doing their own work on that. So, this is where patent law protects them as it prevents others from building something they described in detail. Aka, protects monopolistic business practices in chip industry. :)
Once again the boatloads of cash story rears its head. Except that the figures stated are inflated, most certainly in the case of Apple who already spent a good amount of that cash by issuing debt to pay for dividends and stock buybacks.
Maybe crying is seen as an intense emotion for rare occasions so when someone seems to be crying every weekday or over trivial things it demeans the powerfulness and impact of crying.

Also because of it's reservation for truly impactful events random crying can seem fake or artificial. 'Attention whoring' as the kids like to call it.

You cry at a funeral, you cry at getting a parking ticket. If you cry at both you're kinda putting them on the same level eh?

The winner will be decided by third party support. Oculus can continue with their DRM shenanigans, but in the end it's all going to be irrelevant. The third party developers will always exceed what Oculus or Vive put out in quality and quantity. And right now, according to Steam, Vive seems to have the majority of the third party developer support.

Valve is in a very comfortable position. Steam will still be steam if VR implodes tomorrow, and for the opposite case, all they need to do is not getting left behind. There is no way something other than an open platform (well, as open or closed as conventional steam) could help them keep that position.
Probably some account-creating bot or a group that was creating tons of accounts for sharing so they always used the same password.
Well I had to think about that quite a bit, because in a very broad sense, they can overlap from an "audience" perspective. Also, I don't think a large majority of amateur musicians take much of any time to get into basic rights management concepts until, well, a hard lesson shows up. Lumping the two together at least - this is my rationalization - brings up that both of them DO entail rights considerations. It's not the dark local club scene of trading riffs and dying young anymore...

The other reason to talk about both of them in the same breath is that both avenues are ones that intelligent, diversified labels will want to exploit whenever possible. Fan culture and engagement is a touchy prospect, and going to SoundCloud and Dubset (iTunes & Spotify) as "partners" rather than "enforcers" is simply smart PR. If that means, haha, blurring the lines about what "up front" rights need to be secured when otherwise having no say in the matter, I think for once the industry is catching on.

You may not agree that these are valid reasons to put the two in tandem, but I think they are and that's why I put it together as a topical - sound though not specific overall - review of what the "traditional" and potential "new" rights avenues might be like.
And buy their products.
There is still something very apple-ish about that rumor. It might seem weird, but cars are becoming more like mobile phones with wheels. The mobile phone is the latest in the personal computing vision apple had (well, jobs). The car being an extension of that might be a natural choice for them to follow. A self driving car that picks you up whenever and wherever is to the car what the smartphone is to mobile phones. Who knows? They have the money and talent for a good effort.
This type of discrimination is fine, as long as the males are white, obviously.
I purchased my Philipps Hue system kinda impulsively (and somewhat drunkenly) because I was interested in the colors and the automation.

I thought it was 'nice to have'. But I underestimated the overall effect it has in my mood and my schedule. Previously I didn't know what to think about scientific claims in regards to the influence of light on mood, but now that I'm experiencing it first hand I can say it does have a significant effect on me.

It helps me structure my day, fall asleep, wake up, setting ambiances to read, relax or to be creative. Yes, I could have saved up money by trying to go the DIY route with Arduino, but I'm not very good at hardware. It's not a gadget that is collecting dust, it's something that bathes -for lack of a better word- my whole indoor environment every day. It's cool.

Would showing the picture post-booking only really help, though?

I admit that I'm not familiar with the booking process on AirBNB, but I'd be really surprised to hear that a booking, once completed, can't be cancelled. Wouldn't the same people cancelling reservations now just cancel them post-booking instead?
Got a bunch of real questions: do you know if VR is growing? Does people like the experience? How long are the user sessions?
In the UK it is illegal to refuse to let your property based on the person's race [1] and I am sure it's the same way in many other western countries.

People using Airbnb to rent out their property are effectively breaking the laws and due to loopholes in regulations cannot be held responsible. It's a lot more than just social rules.

The problem with the "news" covering this is they are going to do the same thing they do with hurricanes.

Yes, you, sitting coddled in comfort, think we should have given your paid killers more time to hide the evidence.

The "benefit" as you phrase it is not murdering innocent people, and for them, not being murdered. That's pretty huge!

You're condoning allowing ongoing murder because you don't like the reputation damage that comes from being proven to be a murderer.

Can't take the time, don't do the crime.
There are two big problems here - as pointed out by the other commentators, this company is very much a patent troll. The label fits.

The other problem is that the protections offered by patents were designed at to give a "temporary monopoly" on the invention at hand. For software patents, though, this "temporary monopoly" ends up being (sometimes) five times the lifetime of that given technology. This is partly because the barriers for "inventing" something in the software space are minimal. Cloud hosting for services makes it possible for a small inventor to provide a large service inexpensively (or, at least without large upfront expenses). Traditional software requires only time and a place to download. What happens with software patents is the "inventor" is effectively given a monopoly over more than the effective lifetime of the product and for reasons that don't fit with the original design of the patent system.

Then there's the relative "quality" of those patents. Patents are supposed to be a way to make an invention public so that a person skilled in the field is able to reproduce the invention from the patent, alone. That's laughable if you've read any of the kinds of patents that end up in this kind of litigation. The patent is written in an artform designed to make the description of the invention as vague as possible (to cover as much infringement as possible) and is accepted by an overworked patent office that doesn't have people skilled in the field enough to actually evaluate whether a patent application should be accepted and granted this temporary-turned-lifetime monopoly protection.

These facts are what are doing harm to the patent system and it's no surprise, to me. I am not anti-patent[1]. I believe the protections as they were intended are a good idea. They're being abused, horribly, these days and the system around it needs to be brought back to its roots. Inventions with large barriers to production (drugs, where it can cost an incredible amount of money to get through regulatory approvals, for instance) should be allowed reasonable lengths of time for monopoly protections to encourage their development[2], but things that are novel, and have little-to-no barriers to production should have extremely limited or no protection from the patent system and trolling in this manner should come with penalties (plaintiff pays).

[1] OK, I'm vehemently against software patents and I have a serious problem with gene patents (I can't patent a rock, or the definition of the characteristics of a rock, I shouldn't be able to patent the characteristics of a molecule,... it's an over-simplification, but that's my opinion on the subject).

[2] There's plenty wrong here, too, but it's the best example I could come up with.
Anyone can get infected, travel back to their country and pass on the virus through mosquito bites.
The problem with spending it on acquisitions is once you reach a certain size buying other companies becomes difficult due to regulatory concerns.
Wiping the hard drive is pretty good, but I wouldn't even trust that. It's possible to hide malicious code in many other places which would survive a wipe of the HDD. I've heard of malware which can be installed into the graphics card firmware, or the BIOS, and I imagine that anywhere else which can be written to is a possible location to hide.

Personally, I'd chuck the computer away and buy a new one, but I'm paranoid.

No, they just need to explain why other projects are better things to spend money on.

Given the history of poor results so far, that's probably not as difficult to do as you're imagining.
Kit Williams’s Golden Hare, Part 2: The Aftermath
If you aren't comfortable renting your home to random people then don't use AirBNB, plain and simple. Buy a second home for commercial purposes and AirBNB rent it out instead (and if that gives you pause then maybe you should reconsider the whole idea of being a small-time landlord with AirBNB).

And if you are renting your home with AirBNB and _don't_ have some type of commercial rental insurance or coverage through your main policy you are skating on very thin ice. Even the nicest looking person in the world could ruin your place, or at the very least hurt themselves seriously in your home and bankrupt you with a massive liability lawsuit. If you aren't ready to be a landlord and abide by their rules, regulations, etc. then don't rent out with AirBNB.
Nah, I think it's pretty broadly applicable. I see bad applications from mid career folks and I see bad job descriptions written by internal recruiters & managers.

Agreed. I'd also say if people are using them to discriminate on race, they shouldn't allow the hosts to see profile pictures of prospective renters.

I have more of a problem with idling the engines while your hair is cut than of the closed runways. Today the complaint would be ecological not economical.

However if idling of the engines is required by security protocols then you can't complain nearly as much.

I do expect to put a ridiculous time value of money on the Presidents time and even higher on security. But it should be done to minimize inconvenience to others.
When a company like Apple has $200B in "cash" overseas, where do they put it? I mean, is there literally a giant vault of physical cash or gold somewhere or do they buy 6 month T-Bills or just put it all in a private bank?

BTW: $200 billion in $100 bills weighs 2,200 tons.
Hmm. I expected to see (2006) beside the submission title.
So, a funny thing happened on the way to Linux dominance of the server: We started container-izing things and focusing on building one-service per container (or VM). Suddenly the OS matters a lot less; each container only needs the libs and kernel services that it needs to do its job. It doesn't need the whole OS and doesn't benefit from the whole OS being present.

I suspect there's an opportunity for a lot of alternative systems to make inroads in that space. But, then again, if the OS doesn't matter...it may be that we all just end up using the path of least resistance, which is almost always a small Linux distro with all the stuff we're used to. But, for someone that loves Plan 9 or Solaris or OpenBSD and wants to deliver service containers, they can probably get away with deploying containers using those systems without people balking at the idea.
Yes a five story "monstrosity" that will block out the sun permanently leaving the city in darkness. Geez. The fact that you frame necessary housing that way is the problem.

With Privacy Badger, there were a few months not too far back ago, where on certain sites (e.g., sports blogs) when browsing in private mode (Firefox), the first time I would visit a site, it would work.

I haven't had this problem in the last few months, though.

There should be some sort of penalty for canceling/rejecting even if you had availability. Just like canceling an Uber. These cancellations ought to add up over time and reflect in the rating...

Additionally potential renters should be able to rate this initial experience as well, which should factor in the rating.

Dont think that will fix this problem but might curtail some of this behavior. I believe that technology and applied correctly has potential of changing behaviors (we have seen that in spades with AirBnB already).
