Because of this fiasco, every clown with political aspirations will be using an approved and encrypted system instead of rolling their own garbage.
Difficult to know for sure. Obama had one, Rice previously used one, but:

The NSA refused to give Clinton a device similar to the one used by Obama: a modified BlackBerry 8830 World Edition with additional cryptography installed. And while Clinton's predecessor Condaleeza Rice had obtained waivers for herself and her staff to use BlackBerry devices, Clinton's staff was told that "use [of the BlackBerry] expanded to an unmanageable number of users from a security perspective, so those waivers were phased out and BlackBerry use was not allowed in her Suite,"[1]

This being Clinton there are probably conspiracy theories (the NSA is out to get her!) but I suspect they simply didn't want to have to deal with it, and had the ability to say no. So they did.

It depends what the main power output is. Neutrons from D-D or D-T (deuterium-tritium) are really hard to convert into electricity, but some types of fusion like p-B11 (hydrogen/boron) generates alpha particles that can be directly converted to electricity.

It's not, but it beats it silently ending up in a bad state.
It's a regulatory issue, but it's also a clinical one. Even if it gets approved, it will still need a general purpose kit-based form, and that's a massive clinical and scientific hurdle.

Also, phage therapy killed people in the past. Mostly due to poor purification, but it's not inherently harmless.

After reading the sources I would say there is evidence that employees in the survey they conducted self reported better financial performance from the following options:

"how would you compare your organization’s performance
over the past two years in terms of
market share? .|.|. Would you say that it was (1)
much worse, (2) somewhat worse, (3) about the
same, (4) somewhat better, or (5) much better?”

Surely we can be more factual than this?
Not only actively opposed to FOIA requests -- unresponsive to subpoenas, including the Judicial Watch lawsuit's subpoena which requested all emails related to Benghazi and Libya.

Judicial Watch didn't get her emails about Libya with Sid Blumenthal until after the Guccifer hack made the email address public knowledge.

If it weren't for the Guccifer hack (of Sid Blumenthal's email), we wouldn't even know about the server, and she would have ignored that subpoena forever.
wework is shit, btw

I work in one of their offices and it's horrid.

One of two elevators in a 15 floor building was left broken for 6 weeks at the end of last year. The second elevator still breaks for a couple days every month. I hope you enjoy a 15 minute wait to get in or out of the building. Alex is the smarmy liar who runs it, and all he can say is, "So sorry! Not my problem!" while declining to have WeWork give a damn about the building's terrible maintenance.

These morons can't get the lock on the floor to work reliably; you badge in, the reader turns green, and the door lock doesn't unlock. This has been going on for probably 5 months. We now just leave the door to the whole floor unlocked all day, which is awesome, since there's street trash all over and eventually we're going to have stuff stolen.

They can't make the A/C work; I hope you like wearing blankets at work in the winter and working in 75+ degree weather in the summer.

These idiots built a bathroom with no exhaust fan. Since our floor is full of men, imagine how it smells by the end of the day. I'm surprised there's still paint on the walls.

The only thing WeWork is competent at is cashing your rent checks.

Oh, and the offices themselves are ludicrously loud. They are giant square boxes with no sound insulation, so enjoy a total lack of productivity the second your officemates, or people in offices near you, start talking.

ps -- those phone booths they talk about? Busy most of the day.

Avoid them at all costs.

> This violates the rule of least surprise.

Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding things here, but when I log out, I expect all of my processes to be killed. When I'm logged off, and if another user logs on, it would be kind of weird if the system was still playing my music, etc, wouldn't it? If your processes don't die when you log off, then what exactly does it mean to "log off"?

Or maybe the issue is that it's the init system doing this, rather than some other component?

imgur didn't forget its roots, its roots were a marketing ploy to win Reddit's trust before dialing up monetization.

imgur got popular because it originally eschewed the bloated ad-laden crapware that paid the bills of the previous imagehosts, until the runway ran out and imgur took its turn in the cycle.
Bacterial illnesses are not trifles now.

> If I was her, I would fight for the email address "hillary@clinton.com."

How does one "fight for an email address"?

Once you own a domain, you own it. It doesn't matter that it just so happens to be someone else's last name.

She would have had to pay most likely a large sum to the investment firm that already owns clinton.com... and perhaps they aren't interested in selling, or they value the domain too high.
In Latin America too. And worse yet almost everyone grows up thinking you treat a cold with antibiotics. Doctors prescribe antibiotics, knowing full well it does no good, but they have to justify their fee. I tried in vain many a time to convince a person that antibiotics are pointless against a virus, and the common cold is a virus, ergo don't buy antibiotics. But the behavior was too ingrained to sway anyone.
No doubt whatever mods they make for the POTUSberry are resource- and time-intensive.
In the just released state department report, there are several instances where staff complained about Clinton's use of a private server, and they were told that she had permission to do it and never to mention it again. In fact, no permission was ever sought or given.

IT staff reported issues with clintonemail going to SPAM folders and insisted Clinton use her .gov account, and she refused. IT staff further complained of security issues with her email server and were ignored.

It is simply not the case that no one had a problem with it. Many people did, and they were told to pound sand.

That's an unnecessarily black and white perspective. In reality it's "once it's on the internet, it's possibly there forever" and snapchat is a step in the "it wont be" direction. It's entirely possible for someone to be willing to to take that risk.

Hell, most of us do it in real life. I say plenty of things I wouldn't necessarily want provided to my mother or employer, and small audio recording devices are cheap. I trust my friends and partners to not save and share unflattering snaps the exact same way I trust them to not record our real life conversations.

If you're planning to run for President some time in the future, maybe it's worth it to always act as if the public is watching. I think the rest of us are fine.
Twilio has been very effective at the low volume end of the market with individual developers where simplicity and time to market is more important than price.

But that equation changes as a company grows. The question remains whether they can also play effectively at the high volume end of the mArket. I have heard of several other companies that mimic the Twilio API, but with much more competitive pricing.

AWS is successful because companies are deeply locked into their unique services and APIs. Twilio does not (yet) have the same deep lock-in of customers.

I don't understand your example. The API provider has to determine the contract and decide whether out-of-bounds crops are supported or not. If they are supported, then an out-of-bounds panic is a bug in the API. If they are not supported, then an out-of-bounds panic is a bug in the caller. In either case, the exception is unexpected and due to someone not following the contract.
In NBA, 74% players are Blacks while Asians are at 0.2%. Maybe some SJWs should lobby to get NBA "reflect more the demographics of the society"???

Why the US Military turned a hipster tattoo parlor into a special operations lab
"Institutional racism,"(has it undergone re-branding as "institutionalized discrimination"?) is this vague, boogey-man term used as an explanation of last resort to explain the "achievement gap," among other divergences between the races.

The thing is, there is tenuous evidence at best for "institutional racism," and in nowhere near the quantity that would be needed to account for all of its supposed effects. Indeed to the contrary we've had decades of policies seeking parity between between certain segments of society on various measures, and yet the gaps remain virtually unchanged.

There are other exceedingly more plausible explanations for the "achievement gap" and the other divergences. But people in certain segments of polite society have a nasty habit of trying to ruin the lives of anyone who so much as mutters these other explanations.

For the "institutional racism" proponents...

Has anyone attempted to explain why all this "institutional racism" seems to be working to such great benefit for north-east Asians in the US, who consistently rank above the supposed "evil white oppressors" in various socio-economic metrics?

Or why we see common patterns of achievement and behavior between races across societies with wildly different institutional histories?
There are numerous more egregious cases of senior US political officials breaking the law and/or violating their constitution with no consequences.

This is, in my opinion, the worst part of the story. Anyone who has set up a web-server on the public net knows what happens when you leave ports accessible like this to old, well-known software. There's a good chance people would target her domain/IP looking for exploits and I'd be scared to question just how many people got access to that machine.
A couple issues:

1. It's hard. You need to find a molecule that has a mechanism of action against bacteria, but only bacteria. Any cellular function you share with human cells is right out (this is why anti-fungals are double-plus hard mode). We got away with this by glueing new functional groups onto things to evade resistance, but inventing a new target never before seen in nature is...tricky. Most of the easy stuff got developed by the bacteria first - they've been working on this problem longer than we have.

2. It's very expensive. Fidaxomicin (aka Difficid) cost $175 million to develop, and it's on the cheaper side. While it might still be profitable, that's a steep up-front cost. One does not casually embark on developing a new antibiotic.
As with any graphics format, different formats have strong points. One wouldn't use PNG for a portrait and a JPEG for a block of text.

So I look at PDE and notice that its few points and colour contours bear a lot of similarity to a basic vector format. I wonder if a simplified vector format that utilises tracing combined with blurring effects would best PDE.

1) That's because it's fact that none of her emails were marked as classified at the time. Not an opinion!

2) Her email exchanges are public. You would think they would have found proof of willful communication by now. They have not.

3) Requires intent, which is generally, objectively difficult to prove (see: libel laws).

If we're talking about employee stock options then you loose them if employment ends anyway. Some contract give you let's say 90 days after leaving to sell (well convert, same-day-sale) them.

On what grounds could they sue you? I mean you have the right to quit for any (or no) reason. I'd say it's an empty threat.
I am aware of that difference. As a company Twitter is not a cash cow.
I don't think the 'lingering' option is necessary. That controls the default behavior for processes. Systemd-run basically makes a one off user level service.

So obviously there is quite a lot of overlap between companies doing important things (by that incredibly broad definition) and companies that devote some of their resources to diversity. It's almost as if working on important things and caring about diversity are not mutually exclusive, that people/companies can care about multiple things...

I don't get why it is so irksome to you that a company would make a diversity effort. It should be irrelevant to the question of whether they are working on important things.

I would guess that you're straight, white, and male, and just don't care how achieving one's goals might be significantly more difficult for other people in the US, because you "don't have time" to consider things that don't affect your own life. Which is all well and good, really, I'm pretty much in the same boat, but I just don't understand what's so bothersome about people that do care about those things.

The words you've chosen to put in quotes are telling...the diversity effort is not a personal crusade against you. It's not about "problematic" groups of people. It's about elevating groups of people who may actually have been systemically disadvantaged through no fault of their own. Do you assert that that doesn't happen? Or just that nobody should care about it?

I am a Twilio API customer. It definitely is a land rush. I am far less likely to switch to its competitors as my integration with their systems grows deeper. There is a finite number of large enough companies that would materially affect Twilio's revenue. 166million at $0.015/minute is not that much of business compared to what they are aiming for, which is global domination of computer-controlled telecommunications.
At best Trump can appoint a US Attorney General who will promise to try to indict.
What do you mean "that server was for only unclassified data"? There was no other server. Clinton had a .gov account but entirely refused to use it. Meaning 100% of the email Clinton sent was sent through her insecure personal server.

Do you believe 100% of her email was entirely unclassified at the time it was sent?

As for innocuous, it's reported that her emails (unsurprisingly) included intelligence from "special access programs" which are actually classified beyond top secret.

Because of her gender? No way.

Because she's unpopular with a large segment of the population, and therefore has less political cover than some of those other people? Maybe.

Because we're getting less tolerant of "senior officials" who can ignore the rules? Hopefully that.
And nobody cares? Sexting is an extremely minor use of Snapchat nowadays, and everyone knows you can just screenshot.
i agree, you make some compelling points. i would be interested to know more about how big a market the adv/data piece is and how yoh use it. i was wrong when i said they don't have a clear moneyization strategy. I should restate what i think now: it is still not clear to me what strategy would support the growth required from an investment of this magnitude demands

however, like pg said about whatsapp acq, it was like taking the atomic mass of company. who are you going yo believe, mark zuckerberg, the guy who is betting hos company amd his own money and furure on it after extensive talks, internal fb ops kniwl, and access to WA books, or TC pundits. (clearly my summary, not direct wuote. was video interview, tough to find source)

i do believe still, to disagree somewhat, that fb ipo was botched. point i was making is that facebook was a very strong company (at least rel to SC) and the IPO was indervalued because of scandal and technical errors. even undervalued, a comparative IPO for snapchat would still require a huge increase in real revenue and numbers.

it is a steep climb, if we say FB was $100B and dont adjust for the interference of several problems (glitch, scandal, info leak) snapchat would have to justify real profitability and massive rev growth. maybe they have that, but (advanced apologies for no citation) facebooks revenue indicated by their s-1 filing was 3.7 billion with 0.845B users.

This is a real question not rhetoric: Do you think snapchat can achieve these numbers given 3 years?
they are, but like, they are usually ultra tiny (smaller than a business card), or prohibitively expensive.

Yes, when I first saw the fluorescing genes, I couldn't help but think "Ah, they're up to printf debugging. Awesome." (No sarcasm. It is awesome.)

Genetics strikes me as a lot like computer vision or AI. A lot of really wild promises about 20-30 years too early, then when the real stuff starts to happen everyone is long since tired of all the hype.... but that's when the real stuff starts to happen.
Wouldn't that kill off anything started by init as well?
It sounds like they used to be much better. When I joined in 2010, they were working on a shift towards a new management style with metrics and the whole nine yards.

That management style also resulted in their backend risk management system using rot13 for authentication because the developers "didn't have enough time to implement something better." Being able to read, in plaintext, their production mortgage database's read/write password was pretty interesting. I avoid them like the plague now.

Indeed, Google spent a lot of time making this case to the jury. I could be mistaken, but I fear this is going to be the basis of a reversal on appeal, because what "transformative" means is ultimately a matter of law (indeed, the word itself comes from a Supreme Court decision rather than the text of a law), and to me Android looks completely different from previous things considered "transformative":

Thus far, APIs have only been found copyrightable by the court that is specifically about patents. It's highly doubtful that any court capable of setting binding precedent on the matter will agree, especially to the same industry-destroying extent.

It should be expected that when a district court and its jury have their hands tied by a bad appeals court decision, the outcome will look a bit odd. In many ways our system of case law functions like a body of software where patches can only add lines of code, not remove them. Convoluted solutions to work around previous mistakes end up practically set in stone and refactoring is at best a once in a lifetime opportunity.
PNG doesn't need to be lossless. You can identify the pixels that are requiring more bits to compress, and change their values to make them easier. It's not as good as JPEG, but I suspect it'd be comparable to this for the same level of quality.
