Until .NET Core is mature, and gains support of the major packages from the Nugget repository I'll say: Thanks, but no thanks.

Java, more specifically the JVM, is a safer bet. It both has better tooling, and a greater support from other open-source projects.
I'm swinging back and forth between thinking that this article is vapid garbage and makes some valid points. Probably both.

I have a similar canned lecture that I give to non-tech friends regarding tech's promises to the future of employment (which eventually rolls around to the need for guaranteed income). The example I've always cited is Instagram. Photography used to mean Kodak, which once a billion dollar company employing an entire city. It got displaced by Instagram, a billion dollar company that employed 12.

(yes, I know, the cameras came from Apple who bought parts from Sony, this is just a vague rant)

So this article is kind of dumb in that it's not a brand new phenomenon that started in the past week, Pokemon Go is not really a great example, and money flowing out of towns into big city pockets has been old hat since Gone With the Wind was a blockbuster… but the point he's getting at is an important one.
This is amazing. A couple of years ago I asked if we were able to use Optogenetics to build a "bridge" over damaged neurons or nerve fibers. Is this technology a "yes" answer to that question?
So a slap on the wrist...
You're setting a standard that can't be met by anyone. Any "concrete evidence" would have to provide concrete evidence of a hypothetical. But it isn't that bizarre of an idea that Germany could be better off if it wasn't tied to much weaker economies through a shared currency. Of course the problem here is that the situation is so large you can find not-quite-concrete evidence for almost any proposition.
Rust (like Let's Encrypt) is a great thing coming from Mozilla and I'd like to thank them.

Edit: "Coming from" in the sense of bootstrapping great independent communities around these.

Was it inconceivable for you, after reading the article, to understand what they meant? Is it so shocking a headline that multiple people have commented that "well REALLY it's just compiled code from Rust, not the runtime/source code/etc.". Which one of those possible interpretations makes the most sense?

It's just shocking to me this type of meta-discussion about the phrasing of an announcement headline is the bulk of top comments.
"But is this really such a bad thing? The difference will that instead of the EU, the UK itself will decide which of its research projects it wants to fund."

Speaking purely for myself, as a UK resident, I believe that the UK government will be significantly more populist and far more short-term in its thinking, and I expect to see research massively cut (with associated long-term damage) in favour of tax cuts and pandering. So in one man's view, this is such a bad thing.
My boss years back, when he said that the book 'learn C in 24 hours' was all i needed to learn to code c properly... was the biggest.. for me (now many times 24 hours times days since later, and i still don't master it like how i want to)
Freedom of movement is actually a fairly good thing, though.

> EU regulations, but now without (sic) much reduced influence

You are misinformed, please read '1. "No Say"' of 'The Case For The EEA Option' [0]:

The next level of argument surrounding “no say” is that
despite not having a vote in EU institutions, EEA countries
have some ability to protect their own interests from EU law.
They retain a “right of reservation” - a veto - as set out in
Article 102 of the EEA agreement and thus have the right
to opt out of new EU legislation. This is a right that the
UK as an EU member does not have.

That is just a single point against the 'no say' argument. There is a lot more discussed within that article, including how influence is generally exerted "upstream".

> Under EU rules it will need to wait until it fully leaves before it can negotiate a CETA style trade agreement.

Yet preliminary talks over global trade are already happening.

Trade agreements can be agreed faster than the length of time it takes to agree big complex EU-style agreements anyway [1].

I saw one of the guys from this lab give a colloquium (namely about the virus vectors and mice) and it was the single most amazing thing/field I've learned about in the last 10 years.
"Can we be sure you're going to stick to this trade agreement?"

"Why would you think we wouldn't?"

"You're breaking your treaty with the EU."
The UK is not a club and has clear power structures that mean there is no need to get Scotland to agree to things in order for them to happen, as evidenced by the referendum.
There's a real need to be able to 'fingerprint' a rare book, either through photographs of identifying pages (which could be removed or defaced rendering it useless), or even an x-ray of the book.
The EU is a huge group of people with a huge range of opinions on Brexit. It's not clear at all that the EU will try to inflict as much damage as possible. It wouldn't be a very good idea either because that would hurt the EU as well. There's almost certainly going to be a compromise of some kind.

I doubt any trade agreements the UK might be able to get, would be worth the backlash of turning the EU into an enemy. Especially considering that anyone the UK would want to trade with, probably doesn't also want to harm their relationship to the EU. That last point alone probably ensures that nobody is going to start trade discussions with the UK anyway until after they leave.
But in "late capitalism" all that money going to those large corporations has to go somewhere else. And that record low interest on government debt definitely has something to do with this. So when all these corporations are flush with cash they are actually flush with stuff like 10 year treasury notes and US real estate purchased in US dollars. Which means the entire world economy is essentially feeding the US extremely cheap money. How someone can reason that is bad for a US resident is bizarre.
The only ads I see now are billboards, which leads to weird distortions in what products, cars, TV Shows, etc. I am aware of.
If you think "basically no pay rises" is what austerity means then I think you just proved my point for me ...

edit: To clarify (given the telling off below), the rest of the public sector in the UK has seen massive budget cuts with 20, 30, 40% loss not being uncommon in some departments, or in the BEST case (like the NHS) large workload increases with extremely small or no budget increases. It's hard for me to imagine how anyone could be unaware of that given the amount of coverage of it over the last 8 years.

So when someone says "no pay rises" is the same thing as being hit hard by austerity, that shows a remarkable level of disconnection from what's going on elsewhere.
The alternative solution is what we have today when large tech companies prefer to hire people from high status schools.

This seems like an anti-pattern of circular logic to me: Why would you want to “get there” when it's unclear what “being there” even means?

Let me explain that you are in fact immortal. First, you have to see that there is no reason for your brain and my brain to have different "souls" (whatever that may mean). It only appears to you that we are different beings because there is no strong neurological connection between our brains. But there is a connection (albeit very weak), in e.g. electromagnetic and gravity forces between our brains. The universe, of course, really doesn't care about all this. So you could say that we are both one being, and we are one with the universe. This means that we (and everybody else) will only die when the universe ceases to exist. Which is not likely to happen soon, so for all practical purposes, you are immortal.
iPhones have a single Li-ion cell and the phone itself sips power compared to an aircraft motor.

Tangential question, but is anyone else worried that the rules of 401(k)'s can be changed at a later time. History has shown that retirement funds are highly valuable sources of money that companies and governments eventually eat away at. Pensions funds were eventually raided by companies. And social security has been used for alternate means by the government. Is there anything that prevents the government from changing the rules of 401(k) plans at a later time that allow them to be misappropriated as well?
It can get even more fun!

If instead of two brothers marrying two sisters, you have two brothers marrying two first cousins, like so...

b1 and b2 are brothers
c1 and c2 are first cousins
b1 and c1 marry and have child x
b2 and c2 marry and have child y

... then x and y are both first and second cousins (and their children are second + third cousins, etc).
Can you point to any papers? I'm curious. A friend (actually not me) was just asking about them. He gets anxiety, and wanted to have them on hand in case of a severe attack. But he's wary of medications generally and is on the fence about taking them.

I think that an important part of it is that WB controlled where the disclosure had to be (below the fold in the notes section). Because of that, it's WB fault, not the YouTube creator.
This depends highly on context. The Jones intrusion/trespassing test and the Katz reasonable expectation of privacy test are generally used to determine whether police observations from the curtilage (the area surrounding the house) constitute a search.

For example, a Florida appeals court recently ruled that peaking through "a gap accidentally left in a window" was violative of the Fourth Amendment.

There's a whole series of window peaking, gate crossing, fielding entering, etc. cases. They tend to turn on the very specific facts of the case, such as whether the police intruded on a private space to look through the window, or whether the occupant sufficiently indicated that the space was private.

So the TLDR is its basically like exercise where you can quite easily hurt yourself if you have no idea what you're doing, and you probably do not especially if you're a broscience devotee, and most people make pretty dumb decisions about appropriate levels of repetition, effort, and pain.

Another way of putting it is people with poor judgment can now at some effort and money, destroy their brains, not just their knees and shoulders. Eh.

Another good analogy is alcohol consumption, although unlike alcohol it appears both brain stimulation and exercise can have a net positive effect.

> Does anyone really trust online game reviews?

It depends on what you mean by "trust", and "game reviews".

I have varying levels of trust for different individuals, which you can factor into how much you take what they're saying at face value.

I don't think the concept of a game review is particularly helpful: they are all subjective opinion pieces. They could be essays (game reviews), rants or opinion pieces (what TB does say), raw gameplay (lets plays) or live interactive exploration of the title (Twitch).

You can combine those various streams, along with "lesser" (read "easier") user generated content like Reddit threads and what-not, to help you come to some kind of conclusion before a purchase.

> the first thing I think when I see a positive review is that it was bought

I feel for you, that can't be a nice way to think about things. I'm not sure where you're getting that kind of cynicism from honestly, but if the issue is as widespread as you say I feel like there is a pretty good expose in that.

> Besides, the culture of game media is often far, far away from true gamer culture.

That's a really odd statement. I'm not sure what "true gamer culture" is, but there is a good chance I come from a completely different country to you, have a completely different background and life experiences to you. Except I play video games. I'm not sure declaring some "true gamerness" test and segregating people who fit your expectations and those that don't is particularly healthy.

I think especially these days many people play games, to varying levels, on varying platforms. Games are not holy relics to be cherished by the anointed few, they are pieces of culture to be enjoyed (or not I suppose, if they're junk) by everyone.

> I think consumers should start to learn to think for themselves and stop relying on the state, bans and fines.

I'm not sure those are mutually exclusive ideas. People should think for themselves, obviously. But since basically every opinion you've ever had is based on the media you read / experienced it in, trying to push media toward being a cultural experience and not an advertisement is important too.

Especially in a world where everyone is hyper critical and distrustful of media (especially media that contains opinions they don't agree with), it's a boon to promote yourself as a game reviewer / critic / lets player who is not corrupted by the almighty dollar.

I am not advocating any policy but OP brought up veto, the veto only belongs to EU founders not all members.

Few discussions about the outcome of negotiations mention veto, a blunt instrument the UK has often employed in the past.

The referendum doesn't mention a mechanism or timescale.

Couple of things: The UK has premier scientists. The EU would be remiss to not find a way to work things out. If not, I'm sure other places will pick them up. These are field leading scientists.

Two, upper middle class still don't get it. They're still tone deaf. The Brexit was the working class demanding what was promised them, which was prosperity that never came. Instead they got sold out for a cheaper European work force (not faulting the Poles for wanting better, if just is) while the middle upper classes (professional class) got to enjoy the spoils and got to snicker at the working class for being upended by outsiders.

The professional class are now complaining that they will lose their privileged position... A position the working class never got to taste. So, there it is, they called in the promise and foolish or not, they at least are doing it by their own hands rather than that of the tone deaf professional class who never cared for the working class.

Of course, the professional class, showing their class in style, as they are wont to do, go about castigating the working class by telling them how provincial and selfish they are... But just look who is complaining about losing their privileged status.
Hope someone writes a similar letter about nootropics. There's little evidence about their long term effects.
Yes, that's why the EU is doomed and will be gone within a decade no matter what they do now.

It is a fundamentally unattractive entity. The people who run it have never even tried to combat rising anti-EU feeling across the continent, as they believe the EU is inevitable and unstoppable, so why bother trying to make it more popular.

Now it's probably too late: they've become so gripped by groupthink they can't reform quickly enough even if they wanted to, hence the focus is now 100% on trying to make leaving as scary as possible vs trying to make staying in as attractive as possible.

In the long run this is a failing strategy. The EU is unresponsive and so makes mistakes that upset local populations. In the UK it was migration policy. The latest was telling Spain and Portugal they'd be punished for breaking rules that France and Germany also break punishment free. That's not going down well.

The combination of a retention policy based on fear rather than respect + a succession of local gaffes do not bode well for the future of the union.

Holmes is the product @ Theranos. It's evidently clear their blood testing machine doesn't actually work. If you look at the positive (old) media coverage of Theranos, the lion-share of it revolved around her dropping out of Stanford, female founder, and hell I for some reason know she played an instrument as a kid... The cult of personality was used to raise funds, not the Edison.

There is nothing discriminatory about this. They broke up with us and are on their way out, of course we're not going to keep paying their bills.

I think there is a lot of truth in this "British organisations will have to bring more to the table to justify the risk of them being included in a consortium", not only related to science but business in general. If EU businesses are supposed to trade with non EU members, of course they need to offer more.

One downside compared to micro-usb in my experience was having my macbook stop charging after (apparently) using the wrong usb-C adapter. I don't think I ever worried about which actual adapter I used for a micro-usb device, but I guess you have to be more careful which usb-c chargers you use... another example: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/google-engineer-finds... )
Another implication of this line of reasoning is that since there are no inherent boundaries between anything, the universe itself is thus a living, conscious being.

Not sure if you missed spicyj's point or arguing that you yourself might not notice the sensitive data in the url.

If you - as the developer - need to inquire more about the error (say after reproducing it on production), you copy and paste the error url and remove the sensitive data before going to said url.

"the likes of you" - yes, indeed. You're making some pretty big generalizations from behind that monitor of yours.

You seem to be aware of a particular, negative stereotype of the culture, but you're woefully ignorant of the laws and their history, so why are you continuing in the debate? You're making assumptions about my behavior with the police based upon my factual statements about the limits on police powers for search and seizure.

(for your edification: Had the officer had a reasonable suspicion, he wouldn't have needed to ask permission. In that case, it would have been an _order_, and regardless of whether it's lawful, when it happens, you follow an _order_ from a cop, and fix it up later in court.)

I'm done - you seem to have a strange stereotype of americans that puts anyone with beliefs that differ from yours in the "gun totin' amemdment hollerin' crazy" camp. You may find it more useful to stereotype me as an ACLU (google it)-donating, left-leaning liberal that comes from a family of law professors, and believes that a constitutional protections are a cornerstone of guaranteeing equal protection under the law. Without that, it's too easy for one sort of justice to be administered to the wealthy (and white), and another sort to be administered to everyone else.

Even if you only have to buy a plug-n-play harness and insert a coat hanger into a hole to get the old radio out DIYing something like that scares most people and a $50 radio install will probably cost $50 or more before the200% markup on the adapter harness the shop bought on Amazon for $5-$15. Just figuring out how to use typical automotive connectors is a major task for someone who's never done it.

It's a low priority for most people, costs more than you'd think if you don't DIY. OEM radios tend to have pretty good ergonomics anyway.

Most early 2000s and older stuff has a cassette deck anyway so a $3 adapter lets you plug in your phone.
I wish I could agree. For me to agree I'd have to believe the people who control the EU are representative of the people they rule and are willing to compromise.

However they have already shown very clearly that they aren't like that. Given the total absence of compromise previously I see no reason to expect any now, unless quite a few of the current leaders of the Commission and EU countries are removed.

The EU will use whatever tactics it can to preserve its own power, national populations be damned.
