That's also possible, but in that case she isn't paying an SF cost of living.

Also, either $37k or $63k isn't poor. Lets remember that French GDP/capita is only $42k/year; is half of France and more than half of Spain (plus nearly all of Bulgaria) "poor"?
With Deutsche Post DHL it can likely be explained because they have their infrastructure centered in Germany, considering it's their home market.
Silicon Valley's theoretical-lawsuit-friendly version of Google.

It's interesting to me that a lot of shows do this, and I'm not sure why. Silicon Valley has Hooli. Veep has Clovis. Person of Interest had "Fetch and Retrieve", which honestly guys are you even trying. None of these shows seems to shy away from portraying other large tech companies, and it's trivially obvious even to someone nowhere near the industry what these ciphers are supposed to represent. I don't know of a case where anyone has actually gotten sued over depicting an actual company. So I'm not sure whether these "not really Google but yeah totally Google" companies are meant to defend against that threat, or exist for some other reason of which I'm not aware.
Love to see the landing too. Landing shock might get too hard.
I think in some contexts using word "farklı" (different) may imply the meaning. However, in the Turkish version of the article this is not the case.

Most proper word for "gay" in Turkish is "eşcinsel". He should have used it. "gay" is also used as a loan word in informal speech.

I'm sorry, but I can't see how being pro free markets is being anti intellectual. Using myself as an example, I used to believe government intervention was usually a good thing if done right. But then this whole mess happened in Brazil and I started to actually study economics to understand what was going on, and that changed my view completely.
All this is true but the real question is "Why would you build this?"

If you look at the roadway required, you need two lanes for traffic, plus two lanes for the "tracks" plus five safety buffers - one between the two lanes and one on each side of the track.

From the pictures, it looks to me like you could have two lanes of traffic and one light rail in the same amount of space. And this configuration requires one less safety buffer. And light rail would probably fit under existing infrastructure (bridges and utility lines).

For IoT XMPP is utterly wrong. Yes, some planes use it for a message bus. But that was silly then as it is now.

most IoT application have to worry about both power and network efficiency. XMPP is neither light nor concise.

For example, I'm building a sensor network that needs to report a range of sensors every n seconds. I could use XMPP, but first I'd have to figure out how to make a decent XML parser in < 2kb or ram. Let alone a full IP stack. The cheap radio I have has an MTU of 60 bytes.

None of this is going to fly, for what is effectively:
Node Address:
1: 56.456
2: -6704
3: 80

If we ignore the <node><sensor><value> boiler plate that will instantly blow our packet budget, lets look at how the values are represented as: ascii. so sensor 1 which was a 4byte float is now a 6 byte varchar.

We are of course ignoring the address which is going to be at least 16 bytes.

We haven't even touched on the server requirements either. Can you name a decent XMPP server? I can't they are all finicky and nasty.

So, no XMPP is not the swiss army knife of IoT, because its too large, too power hungry and just a massive pain in the arse.

Anything that uses ascii representations of numbers is probably a bad fit for IoT

You assume. The graph itself doesn't justify that assumption. If you want to lie to someone using a graph, this is exactly the assumption you're hoping they'll make while reading it. Not labeling axis and not starting the graph at 0 are two most basic techniques from the book of Dark Patterns.

Of course this could be an innocent mistake made by Niantic. Could be. But given that PR statements in general tend to be manipulative, I'm not willing to trust that. If they didn't want to reveal their resource capacity, they could have labeled the Y-axis with percentages.
I'm out as well due to the lack of a web version, although not exactly for the same particular reasons as you. I'm OK with native apps in my phone, but (1) I refuse the need to look at a small screen and type on a crapy on-screen keyboard when I'm sitting in front of my PC with large screen and keyboard like 10 hours a day, and (2) my Android phone with 16G internal storage has long ran out of storage for apps (the stupid inflexibility of the system and many apps refusing to go to the SD card plays a role here) and I'm already keeping to the strictly necessary, there are apps that I actually liked and used but I had to delete them.

There are plenty of reasons to not want to use a mobile-only social network. I really like the concept of meeting new people based on interests (it's something I've been missing since ICQ, which had that functionality, was replaced with inferior alternatives like MSN messenger) but there's no way I'm getting into this mobile-only train for applications that don't have any reason to be mobile only.
Interesting. For projects that don't need a "community" we've been using Amazon CodeCommit.

We don't like to use Github anymore because of the politics there. Example: We had a project involving software filters that included this sentence in the description:

> Phase is related to time, but a pure time delay does not involve any phase shift. A pure time delay or "group delay" is constant with frequency. Phase shift varies with frequency and can advance or retard as the frequency changes.

We got a note from a woman who works at github who was apparently scanning open source projects for "offensive" words. Our project was flagged for the use of the word "retard".

We removed our project and never used github again.

You can't keep them bed bound for N years until they die.

The problem with severe dementia is that people forget - not only where they live, but whole swathes of time. They forget people, places, faces, all sorts of things (varying based on their particular condition).
So they wander off, trying to go home or just to go somewhere else.

In many nursing homes this is handled by having locked wards, which are often completely indoors or have small fenced areas.

This is a more village like aspect, so someone can go and do normal activities without putting themselves at risk.

People in such countries are actually more likely to have access to a smartphone, specifically one of the myriad cheap Android devices one finds all over the world, than to a desktop web browser.

I've made the same observation.
I believe that LIDAR will be to silicon photonics what the accelerometer was to MEMS.

The real challenge that the article only touched upon is to get lasers into the same package and keep the costs down. This is still an active area of pursuit in both research and industry--though, there are several promising methods emerging. The $10 cost used in the article is likely closer to the cost of the bare silicon die. Packaging is always the expensive part of optics (doubly so if the lasers are not monolithically or heterogeneously integrated onto the same die). That being said, even with today's technology, integrating a laser chip and a silicon photonics chip into a package is easily south of $1k, which is what they quoted competing technologies costing.

I look forward to seeing these sensors integrated into my self-driving car in 5-10 years.
So the way you would want to explain that to a potential employer is "I had to take a break from school due to financial problems."

The actual phrase "I was going through some stuff." is not good enough. It's an unprofessional answer. You need to be able to explain what "stuff" is in a professional way that makes sense and isn't overly dramatic. Otherwise the concern is you're going to "go through some stuff" as an employee and have excessive sick days, etc.

Dick is a english name. I don't see the problem.
In my career, I've only seen one person contribute significantly within 6 months, and they got a 10% pay boost that quickly. "Contribution" is a lot more than just "Hey! I deployed some code!". The first year for an employee is mostly just breaking even on the cost to hire them. Hiring is expensive^. For a junior role, it's probably 1x salary. For an experienced hire, it can easily be 2x salary. That means that hiring someone at a 100k salary has actually already cost you 150k by the time they leave 6 months into their job. I sincerely doubt they've managed to contribute 150k revenue to your bottom line.

^ This is why nepotism is so strong. I got my job through my brother, which was effectively free for my employer. Beyond just that cost, it makes me more likely to stay. The next hire cost us 70k, and he ended up leaving after... you got it! 6 months.
I mean, the people who have adopted Pokemon Go are now connecting with each other outside in their cities' public spaces, often reconnecting with old friends to go out together. I'm not sure this was intentional on the app designers' part (maybe "go outside" was, but the residual social effects of getting so popular so fast in combination with "go outside" probably wasn't so well-appreciated, since they deployed v. 1.0 as a mostly-egocentric game).

There is the definite potential for a device to change the way we hide behind devices into an opportunity to meet people and connect.

So maybe I'm just jaded and I've worked through enough bankruptcy filings in my life but the first thing that would come to mind is who exactly is going to do the auditing and hair cut?

Is it the exchange or is it a licensed bankruptcy trustee like www.pwc.com?

If things are above board then it almost by definition will be the later. If on the other hand its the exchange doing the haircut then you have to trust that they'll be honest about it....I mean with millions involved that's alot of trust.

I hope the exchanges assets are sold off first to help pay off the missing bitcoins because if the exchange is trying to force the loss onto its depositors and then keep running as a business then that's some really scummy behavior.

I'd assume the model would be Lehman brothers, force it into bankruptcy liquidate its assets, wipe out the owners so they don't benefit from their own mistakes and use the remaining funds to pay back creditors/depositors.

I'm not sure why this company believes they deserve to stay in business. They've proven they're not good at security to a percentage of their customers and might be about to cause a lot of bad will with the rest of their customers.

More importantly, if I'm an unaffected customer and can swallow the "haircut", how do I know they won't be hacked again?

EDIT: As a customer getting a forced haircut, I would also expect the company itself to get an appropriate haircut.

I fail to see how this would be anything other than theft if Bitfinex goes forward with this. Unless their terms of service have them setup as some form of co-op, I'd think they'll see a rush to the exits in the near-term, and be sued into oblivion on the long-term.
> I think it would be beneficial if you would split your project in 2, separating the IO from the rest (like hyper does https://github.com/Lukasa/hyper).

I'd like to do that, but we don't have resources. If we had a couple capable devs volunteering on the GH to do this, I'd be glad to review patches and guide the development.

GitLab is great and it's lovely to see a diverse selection of tools, but I'm not too convinced of the cost benefits – for a team with 100 developers, the annual cost of ~$11,000 is a pretty small amount compared to the maybe $25m salaries you'll be paying!
Not supported Workflows:
- JUnit XML or similar output reading to have a nice output what's broken / worked

There is also another downside but we don't do that anymore:
You can't push from CI to master branches, some people do tag and create builds with their CI / CD (which we also did) but now we just push a Tag to the Repo and the CI will be: '- only: tags' and catch that up.

That's all stuff I can think of now which is probably not supported by most "simple" CI / CD Tools. I guess only the big one's have such a thing like TeamCity, Jenkins and Bamboo.
Well, I think I understand the point you're trying to make. And I agree that drawing a line on what is and what is not acceptable embellishment to promote a product is probably impossible to do in a way that is absolute.

But I believe that it should be possible to come up with a set of mandatory guidelines that would ultimately help consumers make more informed decisions when selecting a product. And I think this is a pretty reasonable thing to say, since so many governments enforce already some form of legislation to fight against deceptive advertising [0]. Actually, advertising of the very industry being discussed in this thread (gambling) is already being regulated by many countries [1], so I would be interested in hearing more about why you think this shouldn't be the case.

No university in Denmark will qualify applicants based on which area or schools they come from. It wouldn't make sense, since, as a sibling comment mentioned, Denmark is small and close-knit, and the same schools usually have both 'rich' and 'poor' kids.
Well, perhaps. But presumably the images from the pokestops can also be delivered by a CDN with a simple key lookup, and can be outside all of their spatial databases and primary logic servers.
