linux user since 1998. systemd is a cancer. However, you might like OpenRC or runit (Calculate Linux or Void Linux are your friends).

As for distributions, we as seasoned linux users have to take the initiative to adopt and popularize new distributions, the way we adopted Ubuntu en masse in 2006 out of nowhere. GalliumOS for chromebooks, Calculate Linux for laptops/desktops, and Void Linux (or gentoo hardened) for servers. When newbies ask for advice, we are doing them a disservice by suggesting Ubuntu or debian-based derivatives, despite the availability of binaries for everything, for the same reason that people suggesting RPM-based derivatives (Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora) were doing a disservice to newbies.

My 13yo daughter can get through a Calculate Linux, Manjaro, or Antergos install (though she needs help replacing systemd with OpenRC on the last two). Let's start promoting the new good distributions, now that the old ones have jumped the shark.
If Tesla is successful in their vision, the entire transportation(and potentially energy) industry will be completely different and hence incomparable with existing car company valuations, since they will have created a completely new slice of pie to eat from. If they are not successful and only end up as a middling premium electric car company they are probably extremely overvalued.

You're comparing the valuation of horse and buggy companies in the 1910s to Ford.
Any good CS book about GC includes RC as a GC algorithm.

Owch. That was painfully good.
It means something different here.

That study uses a crossover design, which means that everyone gets all three treatments (in this case, phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, and placebo), but in different phases. You might get the placebo this week and the pseudoephedrine next week, while I get the opposite. Each one of these time steps is a "phase".

A similar study might use a "batch design" instead, where the subjects are each tested once, after being given a single treatment. They might put you in the pseudoephedrine group, while I get the placebo.

Crossover designs have a big advantage in that are more robust to individual variability, and thus have more statistical power to detect differences. In essence, the crossover design allows you to compare the average of each subjects' difference between conditions while the block designs force you to examine the difference between the average scores of each group.

This power comes at a price--you have to be careful that the different treatments do not interact so you can correctly associate causes and effects. None of the treatments remain in the subjects' system for a week, but they are worried that people might remember* how well pseudoephedrine worked and "downgrade" the other treatments. One way to check this is to analyze the first phase of your data, where each subject has had only one treatment, as a batch design, which is what they reported there.

* The measurement here is a self-reported scale of nasal congestion. Note that they don't do this for most of the quantitative/physiological measurements.
They may have. Did they release any technical details on this?
For sure they will have used this (and just not have drawn it in the simplified diagram) as RS232 receivers would be very bad at pulling down the line, even to 0V. I cannot believe that this would have worked, even at slower baudrates, without any pulldown.

But even with the pulldown, you will be limited in speed as you have to charge up the capacity of the "network cabling" to the idle level. Any resistor (high enough so that the RS232 drivers still can drive the cable to a sufficient "high" level) will need some time to reach the threshold of the RS232 receivers.
That's kind of the point. People (investors) think that in the not-so-distant future Tesla will be much bigger than Renault, and are extremely confident in this. It doesn't really matter to investors where Tesla is right now except as a mechanism to build extrapolations. If you are extremely confident that in 10 years Tesla will be twice the size of Renault, then you need to buy buy buy right now before other people realize it.

Renault's size isn't expected to change significantly over the next decade. Tesla's is. This means that if you own Tesla shares now, 10 years later they are going to be worth a massive amount because Tesla will be much bigger than Renault, so the price naturally rises to that expectation, only abetted by the possibility that Tesla collapses.

It isn't about where the company is at the moment. It is about where you think the company will be in "the future" (at whatever point that is relevant to you) reduced by the probability that you think they will fail (and most people think that chance is tiny). So when Tesla starts making a profit, its market cap probably won't have grown that much, because it was expected behavior priced into today's valuation.
So, by that logic, when AMD/ATI's notoriously buggy drivers were failing in windows, you blamed NTOSKRNL and Windows?

I guess I'm looking for consistency in the argument the great-grandparent was making.

You only really need a few seconds to classify a headline. Spending an afternoon classifying data with a few colleagues isn't the worst thing ever.

They could make it significantly more clear that you are viewing a free preview, provided by the subscriber who shared it with you. It seems like a lost opportunity for conversions to omit this from the page.
This is actually interesting. When Facebook determines the article title, their crawlers go out and pull down the page. It'd certainly be interesting to catch the user agent and present a different version if Facebook is detected.
There is a link to subscribe within the article body; it's just named "subscription" instead of "subscribe":

But I agree that's it's not a strong call for action, and that it's hard to search for if you overlooked that sentence.
The drawback with that approach is that it requires the road to have been previously scanned. So all roads would have to be scanned and added to a database, much like Streetview.

Corporate Innovation Management: Lessons Learned
Not sure what's so revolutionary here.

Seems the process is this:

1) Call with "CTO", who answers any questions about the company. Sounds like a standard phone screen.

2) Work sample, the company now wants you to prove you are worthy of talking to them again.

3) Another phone call, this time with "hiring manager" to discuss "compensation" - which I will presume means they will ask you how much you're currently making or expect to make. Do they divulge their salary bands first?

4) Onsite.

My assumption: once their team becomes bigger, the CTO call will be replaced by someone in HR and they will further standardize their process to the current market dynamics. And I still didn't read what was so revolutionary, maybe because they don't do "puzzles" and instead make you spend hours on "work samples"?

Yes. Sort of like if you keep bumping into the same guy at the grocery store, you don't know if you're being stalked or if it's just a wacky coincidence.

For a more prominent example, every time a black American gets stopped for some minor traffic violation, he has to wonder if it's a legitimate stop, or if the officer actually pulled him over for Driving While Black, and whatever offense he came up with is just an excuse.

It seems like the most consistent quality of Linux detractors is that they hold Linux to a much higher standard than a proprietary OS.

When an application doesn't work, install, or even exist on Windows or OS X it's the application developer's fault. But on Linux it's Linux's fault.

The driver situation leaves much to be desired, but why does Linux get the blame for NVIDIA or Dell contributing buggy blobs that the community couldn't improve even if it wanted to? (and they do!)

Not trying to belittle a legitimate problem, but again how would you do this with your preferred package manager on your preferred OS?
The vibrational modes of a structure are a sort of signature. When it changes, that means something in the structure has changed. Perhaps a beam has rusted or buckled, or bolts have come loose, or concrete has cracked. This is traditionally tested by placing accelerometers in the structure, but it might be much cheaper if you could do it with a camera.

Minikube doesn't solve the same problems at all. It solves one small part of what Sidecar does. Also note that Sidecar has already been around for 1.5 years and so when you say "rolling your own" it implies that this was a decision to not use something already available. But there wasn't anything at the time. And there really still isn't anything else that works across any deployment/scheduling platform in the same way.

There is a significant distinction here, but I opine that either behavior is unacceptable for an ISP. I'm reading this and the comments and imagining a telco switchboard operator listening to my call, and then randomly either breaking into my call to suggest I buy something (targeted ads), or then publish the full text of my conversations to any third party (history).
And I do mean the full text. The link from home to your ISP must necessarily contain all the inputs you request of the web. This is not analogous to your call history; your computer is only making one "call" (to the ISP) and is having a long "conversation" (all your Internet activity) within that "call".

Disclaimer: I'm not very proficient at how the Internet works at this level. My comment's making it sound more and more like a pen register.

They do when the cover letter and the CV is short and to the point. When either is not, you're really testing the recruiter's patience. (Recruiters spend 5-7 second on average on a resume.) Much like a brochure, your CV/cover letter is there you to land you a meeting:

If the stories were "Tesla missed expectations" then I wouldn't bat an eye.

But the stories I saw were, "Tesla sales are down, Tesla demand is falling off, Tesla is dying." Which is not remotely supported by the numbers, missed expectations or not.

I've read that google penalizes users if they present a different version of the page to bots than end users (I guess they pretend to be a browser and access the page from an undisclosed IP). I'd be surprised if Facebook didn't do the same.
Presenting different content to Google's spider vs. users' browsers is the kind of thing that will get you banned from Google. I wonder if Facebook has similar policies.

You'll always be able to browse on Tenta securely and anonymously for free. And it's not just your traffic that is encrypted, but think about all the other browsing data that is traditionally not hidden such as your bookmarks, downloaded files or even keeping tabs open to view later. We encrypt and block access to ALL of your browsing data. And again this is what the free version offers.

Most browsers are ad-based and their business model is your data. They may add new privacy tools, but they have an identity crisis and can never go all in on protecting your data. We are not ad-based at all, so we can provide uncompromising support to protecting your data instead and that will be our business model. To pay our bills, we are considering offering premium support for people who want to expand our VPN service to all other apps on their device. We will look into partnerships to sell other privacy tools and browser extensions. In fact, we already have interest from other startups to customize our browser to work behind their own firewall, so we can offer custom browser support as well. So there are a variety of viable options that we're excited about and selling your data will never be one of them.

> Good candidates are especially hard to find if they're not willing to identify themselves.

Again. That is your problem to solve, not theirs. Good candidates don't need to worry about making sure you see them, they'll either just work for a different company where they happen to have more friends or they'll bypass the first line hiring process entirely by calling up a colleague and telling them to make sure whoever is doing the hiring bothers to call them back.
This is very nice! A while back, I attempted to interact with Bluetooth/BLE on Windows 10 with Node.js, which didn't go particularly well... I switched to ChakraCore (pretty rough at the time but required for node-uwp support) which was supposed to give me access to the Windows APIs but nothing was working out as expected, so I ended up dropping my project. Thanks to this, I might be able to give this another shot! I see there's an open issue for Electron, I'll try and give it a shot over the weekend too.

It would be very nice if the WinMD thing could be system-agnostic (within reason of course), so that the generated modules aren't specific to a particular version of Windows. I admittedly know very little about this, so I'm guessing it's a lot more complex than I realize.

Yes. Is it possible in principle to prevent flashing without bricking the device? How would one do that on a deep level? I don't think it can be done on computers, but am happy to be corrected.
I apologize in advance for this scenario, but: You have a population of 100 males and 100 females. All the guys have sex with one of the girls, so males' average partners is 1. She then gets a particularly bad rug burn and dies of sepsis. Average females' partners is now 0. Now hold on, fella, don't click that down arrow just yet. It might just be that real life works that way. In our modern society, I would guess that it's rare for a woman to have a hundred sexual partners and end up moving on to a long and prosperous life, but the guy who does the same, unfair as it is, might end up being one of those sociopathic CEOs we all read about. If you do the numbers at any given time, in the real world, there might be more slutty guys currently living than women of the same ilk.
Answer: No.
> Of course, that's why no one made that claim.

But the problem is, someone working for Thompson did make that assumption/claim.

No one is questioning that mentally unstable / impressionable people are being radicalised in the UK, sent via Turkey for training, and back again to blow themselves up.

The issue, as I see it, is that it behoves both the terrorists and our various security apperatus to propagate the constant state of fear. It's no small irony that the end result is mutually beneficial.

Oppression/Terrorism is a reactionary cycle that is very hard to break out of. I fear we may never given the last few years. Those who seek security at the cost of liberty deserve and endure neither.
There is basically a point in cinema history before this film and after this film.

The difference between produced and delivered vehicles points to why quarterly numbers have to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Did you miss numbers because you had a bad quarter, or did you miss numbers because some sales slip by a week or two? The first might be meaningful, but the second usually is not - quite the contrary, for the overall business its often better to slip a few weeks, than to artificially "make" the quarter numbers.
Some perspective... Tesla posted a loss of approx $1 per share. With a budget of $19.3B, I pay NASA $55/yr (assuming 350M taxpayers of uniform means) in "losses."

As a tesla shareholder (forget upside and commercial value), that's a small price to pay for funding a sci-fi future.

Not everything needs to be about ROI.
