I hate these topics. After the fact it is always easy to make better choices and every big company has made more than a few mistakes, some of which really stand out in hindsight...

Kodak was a darling of the entire business world, for like a century. They printed money, they provided great jobs to hundreds of thousands of people. They were disruptive and put photography into everyone's hands. I think companies have a fixed life and theirs came and went.

Trust me, if they had a big pivot that was blown off, it was in to industrial chemicals or energy chemical manufacturing or something, it wasn't simply a matter of repositioning as an imaging company from a film company.

Tell me, how should Pony Express have pivoted when the telegraph came on line? Kodak, the brand and most of it was in a similar position.

My experience with Perl:

We (a corporate shop) have a lot 'legacy' scripts in Perl.

I am assigned to maintain such scripts as no one else wants that role.

I discover, Perl is powerful.

Every 'legacy' script I find can be trivially regression tested (These scripts always have the same pattern, take some input, produce some output).

Managers want to move away from Perl.

I want to move closer to Perl.

And why is there such high immigration to the UK from the EU? Perhaps because numerous economies within the EU continue to suffer with high unemployment, especially high youth unemployment which has forced their citizens to move to more functional economies, the UK being one.

If the euro crisis had not happened or at the very least had been solved within some reasonable timeframe then I doubt we would have had an EU referendum in the UK. The EU looked and still looks incompetent in its handling of the issue which in very large part lead to the rise in UKIP popularity which ultimately created the pressure for a referendum.
This is a great point. When you think about it his idea is being explained in words which kind of shows that often words are the best way to describe complex ideas.

Bridge Authorities are part of the infrastructure that lets users get around some ISP-level blocks on the network (not, however, defeating deep packet inspection). They're also incorporated in the Tor code, meaning that to remove a Bridge Authority is going to need an update.

The short of it:

* PHP 7 allowed us a combination of type safety and brevity that makes it much easier to reason about the security of Halite in a way that PHP 5 does not.

* There is a very bad habit in the PHP community, led by WordPress, to provide very legacy support (i.e. PHP 5.2.4 in 2016). For that reason, we're going against the grain focusing on PHP 7 only. If people want to use any of our new open source libraries, they need to make the decision to upgrade now.

I'am a big anti-erdogan turk but he never ever said that in the past it was a 'mistranslation' done on purpose and now that the coup has failed they use basic propaganda to corner him. Yes he is authoritarian fuck, yes he wants more power and lots of people hate him for that but it doesn't change what happened on July 15th, A coup orchestrated by an Imam and his group sheltered by U.S.A. They used planes that took of from Incirlik(nato base from where isis operation is lead) to refuel f-16s in Ankara.

The anti-american sentiment is at an all-time high in every part of the population and if they refuse to give Gulen to Turkey, it will be a breaking point and there will be no turning back. I think darker days are ahead of for Turkey and the middle-east.

The war was far from over for the US. My father was in the Second Marine division. They received orders along with wills for everyone to fill out. They were to leave it in their footlocker on top. Expected losses were as much as one million, based on taking previous islands, such as Iwo Jima. Their command told them to not expect to return from this one. After Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian.

The Japanese were closer to collapse than we realized, but if the invasion had started, neither side could have prevented major losses, even if both side's leadership would have preferred to. And we were days away. The war had a momentum of its own.
Imho, it was more of a "why bother?".

This reminds me of the first computer games I ever wrote. I remember being able to get something so satisfying together in BASIC, with graphics, user input, and sounds. Then I remember moving to C and asking how I could draw a simple line, only to be told that it would require a few pages of boilerplate to set up, and that all my programs should just be text prompts.
Google also has an obnoxious "if we can't keep it, you can't either" approach to user data. For example, I have location history turned off for obvious reasons and tried using the Google Maps app. I wound up having to re-enter my destination several times due to accidentally doing something that cancelled the navigation and caused it to instantly forget the destination. As another example, Google's new Allo messaging app supports end-to-end encryption but it's not on by default and activating it blocks local logging - if they can't get a copy of your chat history and use it to work out stuff about you, they won't let you have one either.
You can also use your own auth server if you want... Just host it on your machines and change the URL in about:config.

The popular perception that land is a good investment comes from the wealth of the 1950s allowing tons more people to have fond memories of vacationing somewhere picturesque and then the interstate highway comes along making those areas logistically practical. Even if you have a pile of hazmat sitting on it land that's within a ~20min drive of the ocean is not going down in value.

Add to that the tax incentive structure and buying a house that's sitting on a huge chunk of land that can be subdivided years down the road if desired makes good sense for many people.

My 820 took one hell of a beating over the time between purchase and replacement. Its replacement seems pretty hardy too. Though I get the impression the build quality and sturdiness were far more variable between models than found around the 3110/3210/3310 era.

Even then, this assumes you'll have enough deductions to not take the standard deduction. I did this analysis once. I took the cost of a rental I was considering, figured out how much I claimed on long-form taxes. Then I re-calculated using the standard deduction (loss of housing interest deduction meant standard deduction was better for me). Then used the tax difference spread out over 12 months to calculate the "true" cost of my mortgage. It turns out the mortgage was quite a bit cheaper.

Even still, though, I am taking on a risk of not being able to sell the house if I ever change jobs. It's appreciating rapidly right now, but everyone knows this can change in months.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and used the next phone phone over to accept a third party paying call. Or, when answering machines in the early 90s only had two digit pass codes. I would change the out going message to to "yes yes yes yes yes ..." so when the automated machine checked if the phone would accept charges it would.

Thanks for the correction. I was researching the different political parties of Eurozone countries yesterday and it's difficult keeping track of whether a particular 'People's Party' is on the left or right.

I overstated that point but there certainly seems to be a strong left-wing base in every centre-left coalition in Southern Europe. And the centre-right coalitions follow a pragmatic mix of nationalism, traditionalism and capitalism. I.e., neither side has a strong will to cut state spending. Liberalism seems to be more a Protestant northern Europe thing.

Usually in 8-bit BASICs the lines would be stored consecutively (not in separate malloced segments) with each line starting with its line number. Yes, this meant that GOTO required a search.

> In real dollars, the cost of Macs are extremely low. $1 in 2000 is about $1.40 now. So the cost of a $1000 13" Mac Air which is a very respectable laptop is about $700 in 2000 dollars.

This comparison makes no sense to me. It's 2016, not 2000, so the fact that a Mac Air is $700 in 2000 dollars is a completely random and arbitrary number.

Roughly the same experience here. I still get more application crashes (wherein the application simply closes and needs to be restarted) than I did with WP 8 and 8.1. However, most apps that exhibit this behavior are holdovers that weren't refreshed for Windows 10 Mobile, such as the Podcasts app. And while app crashes are annoying, the OS is fine and the application restarts quickly enough.

That said, I remain a user who isn't interested in the latest trendy apps. I don't feel an urge to play Pokemon Go (although I find the phenomenon hilariously awesome). For the basics—web browsing, e-mail, text messaging, maps, calendaring—Windows 10 Mobile is great.

Continuum—the feature that converts the phone into a "regular" computer—is quite nice, although I don't use it much since I have more than enough computers already.

I am hopeful that a Surface Phone will eventually arrive and make Continuum more compelling. I could get into the idea of carrying a lightweight keyboard/display thing instead of a laptop. The HP Elite x3 already works this way.

Overall, I remain a bigger fan of Windows Mobile than I was of Android or iOS before that. When I use a modern Android device, Android feels sterile and clunky; meanwhile modern iOS feels too little evolved since iOS 1.

Peer-to-Peer and the Multi-CDN Approach
I've been using the Lumia 650 for a couple months now and it's a solid device. If only it was their first iteration! Also, for those used to using a Macbook/Ipad/Iphone, consider the Surface lineup is really tablet-and-laptop in one. I have been using a Surface Pro 3 for about 2 years now and really swear by the device. There's nothing like it on the market. The anniversary Win10 update is coming soon too.

Tough to say what their goals are in the mobile space though.. It's a saturated market and people are already plugged into ecosystems so it's tough to pull them out. The plus with Windows 10 Universal though is that for developers, why not make it universal and get added mobile/desktop app for free?

Hard to say where they're going.. The entire market has sort of reached a strange place with shifts to the cloud and attempts at AI (I disable cortana by the way because she eats battery for breakfast).
It seems that there's a split between people who are complaining because the ads are "relevant" to only one aspect of their history, and do not change often enough, and people complaining that the ads are not at all relevant to their history. I can get how the first category would be frustrating - it's a primary motivator for my own not using hulu video for a while. I got very sick of seeing the same 3 commercials over and over again. I use adblock, save for certain websites, but when I have it off, as long as the ad makes no sound, I tend to mentally filter it out, but if I was unable to do that, I would probably be frustrated by constant repetition, as well. The second category confuses me, though. These are ads. If they're not relevant to you, they are easily ignored. Sure, it's strange that they suck at targeting you, and maybe that just means you're hard to target, but why is it so bothersome to just look away?

I do have my own concerns about bulk data collection. I've mentioned in other posts that I used to do everything I could to avoid being tracked online, but have since changed course to allowing google to track as much as they want. My reasoning is that if I am at risk of being deanonymized in a way that would make me uncomfortable, it's the service that gets the most information from me that is going to notice first. If that is a service that is responsible in its reporting (e.g. I can look at what is tracked about me and make my own conclusions), I'm better able to protect myself from harm. I am, of course, concerned with giving even a responsible corporation all of that information for the bare reason that even responsible corporations hire people who are not quite so responsible. But I would rather have knowledge of what can be known from my history, than fight off everyone who attempts to track me online. At least, as long as there is a strong incentive to track people who do not want to be tracked.

Any launch to the ISS involves expending a second stage, and IIRC NASA requires the Dragons to be certified (as much for the safety of the ISS as anything else) in a way that currently requires a new one each time.
Maybe he's being sued by the NSA for data and his only "ethical" choice is to just shut it down and walk away, since he'll have been gagged by them in the same suit.
Maybe nobody is interested in buying ads for the stuff you are interested in and conversely, the people making ads for the stuff you dislike have so much money that it's worth it to them to invest in trying to make you buy their stuff despite your dislike.

So in a sense, targeted ads are only worth it for the ad seller who can try to squeeze even higher prices from the ad buyer.
Exactly. With Postgres, you can add CHECK constraints to enforce specific keys, with any level of nesting desired. So an INSERT could reject a document for having missing fields, fields of improper type, etc. It all depends on how strict you want to be.
