I've played the HB Linux versions of Jamestown, Night Sky, VVVVVV, Voxatron, Super Meat Boy, Bit.Trip.Runner, and FTL with no issues on 64-bit Arch, using a 2011 Thinkpad x120e, with zero problems. I remember being disappointed that Crayon Physics and Shank didn't work. The other games in those bundles either didn't work or I wasn't interested enough to try them.

Not at all. They are to remain neutral as long as they claimed they were. Sanders was still an active candidate through the DC primary, and he actively contested the California primary.

The candidate had not been chosen, but the DNC lackeys (edit: sorry, top officials) were coordinating media coverage against him.

When I worked retail we stocked books from one vendor that actually sold their products directly on Amazon at a lower cost than they'd sell to their wholesalers. We'd gladly take that discount instead of paying a premium for ordering directly from the publisher. We also used that as an opportunity to drop ship. The business sold books to get people in the store to buy higher ticket items so feeding the Amazon machine was a neutral affair.
From the outside I think it is fine as it is right now, no need to be thinner, fix cooling, bump up the hardware and expand battery because of stronger hardware. Those touch fn keys and everything are again gimmicks and something that should attract wide masses, for which MB PRO is not!!! It is a machine for professional work, and Apple should listen to people from industry not average consumers. For average users there is MB.
The RX480 Polaris is about 30% faster than the GTX1060 running DOOM4/Vulkan. Apple's Metal is very similar to Vulkan, so it's quite possible that nVidia Pascal and AMD Polaris have similar power usage while using Metal.

Because it's a business model. It wasn't always. When they started out, they positioned themselves as a charity. That was front and center, everything else was secondary. You were making a donation, and you happened to get some sweet games that might or might not work. Over the years, they've evolved into a business, and now they have customer expectations, instead of donor expectations.

Bernie had not conceded and the DNC still was obligated to be neutral. And yet, they were not.

So strange that they forgot to mention to shop this story around after the primary. How did you pick up on this intent of theirs without them saying it?

It may be "better" and more optimized for a particular purpose: human memorization

It has a similar mnemonic strategy to other memorization techniques for numbers.[1] Apparently, there's something special about the language processing of the brain that makes it easier to remember words than numeric sequences. Phone-number-to-words (vanity phone #) is another example.[2][3]

For other tasks you mentioned such as mathematical calculation/comparison, or computer lookup in db indexes, the encoding is definitely not optimized for that. However, that's not its purpose.

That's a bit of a stretch to reach the conclusion the DNC and RNC are "state funded". Poll workers are volunteers, the machines are bought with taxpayer money but they are used for multiple types elections (from state to federal).
To all those saying Flash is dead or dying, this is simply not so. Mainstream use of Flash may be on it's way out, but browsers will continue to support it in one way or another for the foreseeable future.

Why? As I've said before, and will say again: A lot of enterprisey applications have tools developed in Flash/Flex. Mostly internal and B2B tools, but tools nonetheless. It's not likely that they will be replaced anytime soon, because no one is going to authorize the budget for replacing something that still works, so Flash will be around in one form or another for a long while.

This is my perspective as well. Beyond our slightly cultish tenets/leadership principles (seriously, they quote Jeff like he's our holy leader), Amazon's really just a federation of loosely coupled teams. You and your team are literally at the mercy of your VP/director/Sr. Manager.

That said, I have generally positive things to say, but I've also witnessed an entire team of 6 SDEs quit under an especially bull-headed SDM. I've also seen managers making ridiculous promises to upper management without vetting them first.

Thankfully the bad SDM found another job, but he's still working in another department in the company.
It sounds like there is some serious passive aggression (or even just aggression) going on over there.

I'm both a boss and have a boss. I've seen from people who work for other bosses that yes, the biggest effect on employee happiness comes from their boss.

There's no magic bullet; each employee is different. Sure, it's not always the boss, but a good boss does what they can to help improve that. There's two things a manager needs to do to be successful - achieve the goals you and the company have set for your team, and keep your good people. If you achieve goals but your team leaves, you haven't done shit. You've lost the game and played yourself.

>This makes me wonder what would happen if you took a job there and just refused to do the sucking up? What if you just competently did what they asked and didn't worry about getting fired for bullshit reasons?

Having seen it occur to various people elsewhere where cultural rot had set in quite deeply, it's really quite simple.

Failing to suck up means you'll get mediocre to poor performance reviews. In places with stack ranking systems (reportedly Amazon is one of them), somebody has to be the goat and you basically are volunteering. You manager will say to you, with varying levels of sincerity, "I tried really hard to get you higher up in the rankings but there were a lot of people who did really strong work this year. You'll have to work extra hard next year to try to get a better ranking.". Unless you genuinely aren't doing a good job, you won't be punished directly but you won't get much in the way of raises, bonuses, or promotions either.

Eventually, people will notice that you have a long string of poor/mediocre reviews and relatively low level compared to your peers and will start assuming that you're not a good employee and look down on you. Internal transfers then become much more difficult and you become a prime target for being managed out or laid off.

Here are the counter arguments:

You can find positive and negative anecdotes about any company, but with Amazon it's a qualitatively different situation. It's a long-term ongoing pattern of unethical behavior, a cacophony of negative feedback that outweighs the positive. The way they treat their blue-collar employees, white-collar, business partners, sellers, etc. (All parties except the buyers.)

I've stopped buying from them but I'm realistic, very few people will care enough to do so, not enough to affect their bottom line. I do it because it supporting them would feel wrong to me. Not because I expect I can make them change.
Great example of making your priors explicit.
But by that reasoning, if the wallet was gone too you'd be saying that's all part of the cover-up. Any evidence you're wrong is only evidence you're right!

This seems to be the case for users who don't pay for Google services, but all of the companies I've dealt with who pay for Google services seem to get responses to their problems.

There are trustworthy reporters, the challenge is to find trustworthy reporters who will be heard by the masses.

As much as I like The Intercept, for example, they do not have the same reach as the WSJ or the NYT.
I guess the 'problem' is the internet. Without the internet people would be blissfully ignorant of how the media works.

These things have been happening for a long time. Businesses, governments and other entities all have the ability to manipulate the media. I view it as a power struggle that sometimes bubbles up in public.

Oh, and social media is a part of it. Just it's slightly more difficult to control without people noticing.
>First, parties are clubs and they can have their own rules about their internal elections and campaigns.

Literally no one is saying otherwise. This is such a tired and ridiculous strawman.
Interesting, thanks. Do you recommend changing where everything is laid out in the header / footer? Do you initially look toward the upper right?
If that is true, I'm surprised I haven't seen a follow up in the NYT after they got somewhat tarnished by Amazon's response to their initial article.
As a general point of order, one does not need to have a "victim", in scare quotes or otherwise, in order to be in violation of an organization's policies.

For example, a school may prohibit a teacher from engaging in a sexual or emotional relationship with a student, even if both the teacher and the student want the relationship. Similarly, between a supervisor and employee, or between a military officer and a private.

Such behavior may be grounds for dismissal, even though a relationship between consenting adults is not illegal and therefore has no reason to be "in any legal forum".

As I pointed out, even when something is illegal, as when an employee steals from petty cash, the employer does not need to present the case in a legal forum before dismissing the thief. So your strong desire for presenting in a legal forum also does not pass the smell test.
The man page for /proc (yes, there is one) explains what all those fields mean.

In this case, each of those mappings corresponds to one of the sections in the binary. The permissions indicate that the first one is executable code, the second is read-only data, and the third is writable (copy-on-write). The number after the permissions is an offset into the underlying file.

I suspect the article is glossing over some details e.g. how gdb figures out which mapping corresponds to which section, but it gets the basic idea across.

> A lot of people get hired there that have no business working as engineers on hard problems anywhere. Then Amazon does what most tech companies seem to have trouble doing: can them (they should not have hired them in the first place, but still).

You're suggesting Amazon struggles not because of bad management (as almost every story suggests) but because their developers aren't skilled enough? That's a really strange claim on the face of it.
I've got a "me too" comment.

In my first job post university, after about two years, the moment I realized "I don't belong here" was when a coworker in the 80% underground open plan office stood up and asked in a loud voice to be heard by everybody "Does anybody need a few project hours for billing? I've got some hours left in my project that you can have." My boss responded "Yes! I'll take whatever hours you can spare for myself and for [Noseshine (me)]". We had to have a billable customer project for each and every hour of our time at work.

My boss was great, the "system" sucked.

The ports = doors analogy fails: For doors you are supposed to enter, like shops, there are signs to let you know that it’s OK to enter them. There are no such things for ports. There were, once upon a time, such a thing; an enumerated list, in a DNS “WKS” record, of ports you were expected to use. As part of the deprecation of the WKS record, RFC 1123 states “To confirm that a service is present, simply attempt to use it.”.
> That's impossible if it was rigged.

That's simply false. The accusations against the DNC of "rigging" primarily revolve around bias (revealed in the email dumps), not actual electoral fraud. The RNC was almost certainly biased in a similar (likely more intense) manner against Trump.

It's also entirely possible to rig an election unsuccessfully.
It can very well be that Apple is or will design a more secure system than most back. They are after all good at security and one of the largest technology company. But the question here is that there are generic hardware in iPhone that can be used by anybody to make contactless payment good/bad. Apple is not giving them the access not just because of security but to reduce competition. If you don't trust your bank but apple the bank is not forcing you to use their app so that point doesn't really apply.

What if Intel/AMD or any processor company was saying the the encoding hardware of their device was only accessible to their own app and not to other application in your device since others wouldn't know how to use it properly?

Doom 4 is an outlier, the RX480 doesn't consistently gain that much from Vulkan or DX12. You could just as easily point to Tomb Raider DX12, where the 1060 beats the 480 by about 20%.

According to Guru3D the two cards perform almost identically in Ashes of the Singularity and Total War: Warhammer, both AMD-sponsored DX12 games.
Since IPv6 addresses are allocated in large blocks, and organizations tend to assign IP addresses sequentially, you could probably scan a decent portion of the IPv6 space by doing a binary search on the addresses within each block of a certain size to identify the max active address in each block.

Interesting job descriptions
I'm not exactly sure how to find that the requirement of "paying DNC dues" is defensible. We're not talking about a local sports club.

Don't get me wrong. While I supported Bernie, I feel he was outplayed in a masterful game that he wasn't ready for. I'm not sore about it. Frankly, I'm surprised Hillary didn't win by a far larger margin, considering she had a decade to make deals and sway powerful people her way, and apparently, an entire political machine skewed in her favor.

But the idea that the entire DNC teaming up with a single candidate is to be expected and not taken as simply "rigged" seems intentionally obtuse.
You will be called a "conspiracy theorist" for claiming knowledge of police forensics and investigations without a substantial reference to back the claim up.

I think this is a really nice idea, and it seems somewhat more memorizable than a what3words address because it incorporates numbers. Really cool work! The only two complaints I have are 1) as others in this submission have said, is that the list should really be curated, or at least be filtered to remove "bad words", and 2) ideally this algorithm could be tweaked to not require a city to go along with it, so it becomes easier for a place that hasn't been able to designate cities can use it more easily.
It's not only about efficiency. Unlike Amazon, a real bookstore is a lot of fun to browse in. Being able to browse real shelves, hold and flip through real books for an hour or two is a great leisure activity in itself. Now that stores are closing and it's at risk, I'd even pay a small entrance fee if it meant keeping the good ones open.

Though I agree that a larger chain bookstore with more selection offers more value than a small bookstore, for me it's more about real-world vs. online, not large vs. small business.
The DNC is a private entity, and can act (internally) just about any way they want. You and I are free (well, constrained by finances I suppose) to establish our own parties that act however we want. Freedom of association and all.

People don't have to join the Democrats or the Republicans. Those who do make that choice are now learning that these parties function exactly like any other corporate entity. Some sort of oligarchy calling the shots over a pseudo-democratic process that they ostensibly claim to be the real process. Time for the schisms.
