So!? The fact that anyone else does it, doesn't give MS a pass. I'll never understand these types of arguments.
Thank you for feedbacks! I have changed the tour to show how much it will last when it first show up. Labels are back. I first tried to implement search by Amazon Advertising API but it has lack of some features Amazon have so I changed my mind. I will think iframe option as you suggested. Thank you.
The Wikipedia article seems largely sourced from a South Korean economist, "Many countries have successfully industrialized behind tariff barriers. [...] Despite this, infant industry protection is controversial as a policy recommendation." I'd call that mixed opinion.

PS: Side note, apparent "post-autistic economics" is a label that people self applied? Not sure on the branding on that one (they've since changed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-autistic_economics
The EULA you agree to during Windows 10 installation prohibits class action lawsuits, but Windows 7 should be fair game...
I was on that very page a few weeks ago. I used ZeroSSL to generate my last cert. It works great! And I understand your strategy, providing an API and letting the community work over is the absolute best you can do with the resources you have. My frustration was as a newbie fiddling with command line tools. Being completely lost. I had to read up for two straight days. Then give up for a few months. Return back, read up for two days again, discover ZeroSSL and finally have my cert. Barrier to entry was very high. Now that I'm in, it's a lot better.
Problem with gradle is that every build script is its own special snowflake as Gradle does not impose build structure. I am glad that they are moving toward Kotlin as Groovy is awfully slow
It's also because MS refused to have existing X86 apps to run on the platform. I'm sure it was to chunnel everyone into metro of whatever they call it. They could have had a whole ecosystem by default (at least for 2d apps). But nope.

They could have implemented a wrapper around a program to allow usage. WINE already can do that with PlaysForLinux. But like I said, the hardware is spectacular; the software is a slum.

Was it bright enough to reliably detect metered connections (did it even try at all?). If not then just this could have cost people money.

And consuming a couple of Gb of space could be a noticeable inconvenience on a small system (say one of the many tables and laptops with nothing more than a 64 or 32gb solid state drive).
Reading a couple dozen different sources and summarizing anything interesting in them is useful.
Same here.

OneDrive comes back to the File Explorer after each Windows 10 big update, even if you disable its icon with the registry editor. The same happens to the library folders (Videos, Pictures etc.).

After FB any 19 year old with a product that has 100K users and is growing at a rate of FB I would guess would be showered with money (I am not a VC so my guess might be very wrong).
That techTV site launched in 2001 and it was decided to go to around 800px. Up from the old ZDTV site which was pinned at 612px.

Anecdotally, when our ~40K population town got a Walmart, the police department needed to add a full-time officer position to handle the increase in crime.

How is it dubious exactly? I just wrapped up Hamilton's biography and lengthy parts of it are devoted to Alexander Hamilton practising the "Infant industry argument" on America itself.

> On March 24, 1791, the U.S. government granted patents for Parkinson's flax mill, even though he had admitted that they were "improvements upon the mill or machinery ... in Great Britain". Clearly, the U.S. government condoned something that, in modern phraseology, could be termed industrial espionage.

> "The extreme embarrasments of the United States during the late war, from an incapacity of supplying themselves, are still matter of keen recollection"

> His opponents cited abundant land and deficient capital and labor as reasons that America should remain a rural democracy.
Wayyy different orders of magnitude. From NPR's self reported estimates, ~10% of the US population listens to NPR radio weekly. Only ~0.013% of web users commented on articles.

No telling how many regularly read the comments without contributing. Does anyone have lurker estimates?
Ok, I was not able to share what I believed to be seen as a joke. Sorry :( Maybe you would prefer this more serious introduction : http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=calc2talk
So... just about everything that's not complete garbage that children eat?

I suppose these modern children need to be taught to chew their food and not asphyxiate themselves by vacuuming it down whole.
I agree. I use speech recognition all the time on my watch. The killer app for this?

"Children! 10 more minutes, then we're turning screens off. Hey Siri! Set a timer for ten minutes."

Much easier than fiddling with the crown to set a 10 minute timer.
Maybe this can be read as a cautionary tale about how easy it is to convince yourself to cut ethical corners when money is involved.

In an honest moment, I suspect that many Microsoft executives would acknowledge that the behavior described here is morally dubious. Yet they've allowed it to happen.

This reminds me that it's a daily challenge to avoid temptation and do the right thing. I hope that at least a few people in Redmond are thinking the same thing.
> The Way Forward

is to ditch Windows. You can't seriously expect MS to respect user choice and privacy.
It's too abstract. Most intro's to ASIC's suck with too little or too much information. Here's the best one I found that covers every single step and category in a brief way:

I think because CSS layout without the aid of a CSS grid is so @$@% obtuse.

Or at least, try as I might, I've yet to find a clear and comprehensive explanation of how to do it properly. So, despite thinking CSS Zen Garden is a work of beauty, for my own part I just throw bootstrap at it and get on with my life, and I'm not ashamed about it.
Yea, I'm not sure this article is completely accurate either. I waited until the very last day of the free upgrade, only clicking the "X", and never had a surprise Win10 install.
We had electric vehicle manufacturing boom in America >100 years ago.

One of the first licensed female drivers in USA was driving electric car over 100 years ago.

What we need is an effective political and economic reform that supports long lasting changes in this area. Not another $100,000+ dollar toy (Tesla X) for the rich.
How switching to in-app messages increased annual upgrades by 30%
Yeah, I hear that frequently and I get it. The important thing, really, is that you have a cert and that you deploy HTTPS. If you can afford it and it's what you need to do to deploy HTTPS, then whether or not you get your cert from Let's Encrypt is not so important.

There are some good reasons behind the automation practices we encourage though, and if you're doing that stuff then the lifetime doesn't matter much. Worth considering regardless of who your CA is.

Thanks for your support!
Bandwidth costs around the world
It "fails"? IPFS has never been about obliviousness, it's a distributed CDN.
NPR's mission statement doesn't include "a open forum where the users can speak to one another" though, and removing the comment section doesn't constitute censorship.

The web and many social media services are available for people to publicly and freely speak their mind, unlike some other governments, where censorship does in fact exist. Ultimately, I think moves like this are good for promoting a more decentralized version of the web where people host and manage their own content, e.g.

Bad comparison. Taxi drivers losing business to Uber can easily go to work for Uber themselves (in fact, many of them have done exactly that). Someone being laid off by a company like Cisco can't just go work for the competition that easily; it wasn't a simple situation of a better competitor coming along that caused these Cisco employees to lose their jobs. If anything, it's because the work was outsourced offshore, and these employees can't easily chase their jobs to China.
The "new Microsoft" thing only seems to apply to how developers are treated as they are the bread and butter that provide the apps to keep the platform afloat, not home users who are just cattle.
RE:Machine learning: I think there are two problems with that approach, one cultural and one technological.

The cultural issue is that many news orgs are still run by people for whom the idea that technology could accidentally censor a valid criticism or ban a decent voice is just too risky. I think this is changing, and many newsrooms today a little more fluid than when I really cared about the problem 4 years ago.

The tech issue is a little bit of a cop out on my part. An ML approach is super attractive to me as a techie. Google (youtube), facebook, NYT, WaPO, and tons of other billion dollar orgs have this problem, and could loads of money by being seen as better communities.

On the more guerrilla side, hundreds of subreddits have automoderaters written by savvy, caring moderators.

They have terabytes of training data, already tagged, and world class ML experts on staff. If it was a tractable problem with business value, why wouldn't they have fixed it? I'm guessing it's the sort of thing that looks doable from the surface, but you get buried in the details.

Again, cop out answer, so please go prove me wrong!!
The key reason Apple is basically never affected by this, is Apple is putting Apple software on Apple hardware. The tying issue that comes into play for both Microsoft and Google revolves around the arrangement between the software developer and the hardware manufacturer. Since Apple is both, this is a non-issue.

But when Google is forcing Samsung to do things or Microsoft is forcing Dell to do things, it's a different ballgame.
As long as I am tiny player yes it would work as soon as I am meaningful in size after a short time it will just affect the PPC
I'll bite: sliding windows are a pain, if you hit them by accident they result in a weird self-DoS. Why not token bucket? It's a simpler algorithm to implement and less pain for the client.

If I'm unaware of these limits and use them up all at once, I'm locked out for a week instead of having to wait 1/rate to issue just one more.
I don't know, a service like ZeroSSL (email/domains, submit, upload verification, submit, that's all) very much simpler than any command line utility, especially for simple tasks, to be done my newbies.
The key issue here is universal across the internet. That is, a bunch of people in the same room (i.e., commenting on the same article) is not a community. A community has standards, protocol, social norms, etc.

Yes, moderating comments is an issue, especially when you don't really have a community. On the other hand establishing and managing a community would go a long way to making comments manageable.

In short, allowing comments != community.
Never thought that, I will look into it. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah maybe public isn't a good term for it, I usually use the term stable. So any pushed commits are indeed public, but they are only stable when they reach a stable branch. This means that if I am working on a branch I may remove, add, amend, reorder commits even after I've pushed them. If you constrain rebasing only to unpushed(not public) commits then you instead end up discouraging pushing code to the remote.
How to respond when receiving sub-standard products or services
ESR is a fairly common abreviation. Just like RMS, K&R, SICP, BDFL, BNF, TAOCP (aka Knuth), XHR, AFAIK, and RTFM.
I find the lack of comment section to correlate strongly with the author's self-importance and inability to take criticism. I even read such articles with a sneering, bloviating voice in my head. Makes reading all the pointless medium articles much more entertaining.
No, you set default properties on your element. Then you have @supports to enhance that element if the properties you wish to use are supported. It's a far better solution than the silly hacks we had to do before.
Site using Facebook for comments usually end up full of horrible spam. Facebook isn't a good solution either.

IT's interesting to see how a lot of big websites moved from Discuss to livefyre, I wonder what's wrong with Discuss, livefyre looks like it has fewer features and options.
> I'm going to include the list of forbidden foods here. I'm surprised that carrots and grapes are forbidden; I don't know what sort of hazard carrots present.

Grapes and Carrots are chocking hazards just like Hot Dogs and sausage. Grapes and Carrots are just not worth the trouble they will cause during such a busy time.

> I'm not sure what being rural and low-income has to do with it; can you expand on that?

People sometimes screw up and driving miles to fix the problem is an issue along with causing an unneeded expense for low-income folks. It was just much easier to come up with a dozen different meals and learn to assembly line them.
It's not "my thinking". And it can be worse than sending them to prison. Neither are good options.
I found most of sort features by try and error. I will look into it if Amazon provides it I will implement it.Thanks for the feedback.
Hello people,

Am very happy to see JBot listed on slack.com (https://api.slack.com/community)
Comments to most articles about Snowden, refugees or gender issues are like that.
Yup. It's basically saying "we can't afford this, so we'll make it not our problem."

FWIW FP briefly used an embedded facebook widget, and a nonzero percent of their livefyre users logged in via FB.

It did little to nothing to stop abusive comments. The HN crowd cares a lot about what sort of history follows around our names and our handles. Many others, both in the western world and abroad, do not.
Right. There's a world of difference between a mature, well maintained database library and some random goofy thing to post to social media written by newb coders. A corollary to writing less code is doing less debugging -- and furthermore, exploiting freely available code that represents 1000's of hours of debugging already done for you.

Good taste is just a form of 3rd order laziness.
Docker Swarm – An Analysis of a Very-Large-Scale Container System (2000 Nodes)
Having that choice only be available to 'real' customers, while giving personal users no choice, is bad.
They've done that in the past too, but citing sources is hard because usually it's the right leaning media calling out the left leaning media (and vice versa- c.f. Media Matters against Fox), and it lends itself well to people shooting the messenger by way of "that's just a $slant-ist site" rather than actually evaluating the claims.

Random search example: https://community.aarp.org/t5/Medicare-Insurance/NPR-Contine...

Factually true, but misleading in context claims about Medicare.

Another, worse example: http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/10/14/nprs-distortions-abou...

An NPR reporter misrepresenting a Dutch report on the downing of MH317 as evidence of Russia firing the missile (while the report only says the missile was Russian-made).

NPR aside, I reject the notion that journalism can't be objective. Well, not completely, sure, in the same way that we can never completely reach the speed of light.

Does that mean we stop trying? No! Does that mean we lower our standards? Hell no! My issue is, I see this concept used more often to excuse misconduct and lazy reporting. "We can't do it, so why try?"

If someone claims to be unbiased, they should be held to their own standard, and when bias is pointed out, expected to change their ways, or else acknowledge that their statement about being unbiased was a lie.
Am I reading this correct ? 12 weeks of paid paternity leave. My jaw is still hanging :) (Maternity leave is awesome too but its already more than 22 weeks in the country I live).
Yup. Investors will always conclude their assessments of founding teams based on their chosen narrative.
A much smaller company could definitely create these very high end switches and routers, with a business and support model unlike that of Cisco.
I'm pretty sure that's a feature in slack, used it just yesterday actually
Intel does the same, there is still a "north/south bridge" (AMD had on die memory controller since the Athlon 64 days IIRC) which adds "additional" (via a bridge, you aren't getting additional bandwidth unless you are using QPI with multiple CPU's) PCIE lanes and centralizes I/O in Intel's case it's the PCH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Controller_Hub

AMD will have something similar even if the CPU will control most of the PCIE lanes in the system (usually GPU + high speed storage is over the CPU, the rest of the IO is over the PCH).
I'm glad you included RMS, but what about JWZ [1], GKH [2] or JGC [3] ? :]

Thrust: A classic 8-bit computer game remade in JavaScript (2010)
Long story, but my Surface Pro 2 wound up with Win10 Pro. The Pro version is slightly more configurable for privacy than Home, but only the Enterprise version can completely turn off the telemetry and so on. Of course Enterprise is not easily available to end-users and it is expensive.

There are some utilities available that are supposed to improve the privacy/security of Win10 installations, e.g., [0].

My wife kept asking me if she should upgrade to Win10 and I said "don't do it". Since Win8.1 will be supported until 2023 or so, it really didn't matter. Now, thankfully, the "free upgrade" period is over and she won't be nagged to do the upgrade.

After all the years in the game, we'd think MS should know better than pulling all this crap on its users.

I don't understand why you think you're entitled to that expectation. If you don't like what Windows does, buy an OS from someone else.
I'm not sure the GP would agree with your sentiments, however, NPR pretty clearly slants to the left. All their hosts lean to the left and the composition of their multi-guest panels usually include a balance of viewpoints that lean more to the left.

Still, among popular news sources on both the left and the right I think they are about as fair as they come. Certainly on NPR the hosts are not hostile towards opposing views and you can tell that they make an effort to let dissenting callers and guests be heard even though its often clear that they disagree. I also find that NPR tends to invite guests that are respected within their community instead of guests that are intended to showcase a weak or poorly supported viewpoint.
Bees need some diversity in their diets. They consume nectar and pollen true, but that doesn't go far enough. If I offered you a diet of only Sugar cubes, Soya protein extract and Olive Oil you'd quickly die. Why? That diet has Carbs, Protein and Fat. That's everything a person needs!

It's a known issue that colonies cannot survive long term on substitutes. Why this is isn't clearly known yet but the assumption is that they are missing some dietary analogue to vitamin C.
It's likely brand building.

I doubt they are as generous with the Model 3. I would also sort of expect them to adjust the terms for new buyers of the more expensive cars once they figure out their actual lifetime costs for the warranty.
Those things exist, but you need the "setup" bit to achieve the level of isolation that you want.

For example, volumes: With Kubernetes (on Docker), the lifetime of the volume mount is handled for you. No other containers have access to the mount. Container dies, mount dies. Whereas on plain Linux, mounts stay. You need cleanup, or you need to statically bind apps to their machines, which will seriously limit your ability to launch new machines -- there will be a lot of state associated with the bootstrapping of each node. Statefulness is the enemy of deployment, so really what you want is some networked block storage (EBS on AWS, for example) plus an automatic mount/unmount controller, thereby decoupling the app from the machine and allowing the app to run anywhere.

Environment vars are inherited and follow the process tree, so those are solved by Linux itself.

Process trees also handle "nesting": Parent dies, children die. But you will end up in a situation where a child process might spawn a child process that detaches. This is particularly hard to fix when a parent terminates, because the child doesn't want to be killed. Now you have orphaned process trees. The Linux solution is called cgroups, which allows you to associate process trees with groups, which children cannot escape from. So you use cgroups, and write state management code to clean up an app's processes.

I could go on, but in short: You want the things that containerization gives you. It might not be Docker, although any attempt to fulfill the principles of containerization will eventually resemble Docker.
Cisco Is Laying Off 14,000 Employees
I dual boot on my PC, Ubuntu and Windows. I'm writing this from my Arch laptop. I only drop into Windows if I want to play a Windows-only game, but thankfully that's happening less and less. I've stopped buying games for Windows entirely so I won't have this problem in the future.

When I installed Windows10, I did the hour long dance of trying to find all the places where I could turn off tracking, even temporarily. Then I ran this[0] which does a pretty good job in a magic black box kind of way. It's a patch job, I don't recommend using Windows10 as a daily driver or putting too much faith into any gui setting or external patch.

Also updates are important. Software developers know maintaining multiple old versions and backporting fixes is more art than science and even with the best intentions is prone to incompleteness. Update your software. If you find you can't because upstream is consistently invasive/lacking/gross, chose a different project or you know... fork.

How Twitter Avoids the Microservice Version of “Works on My Machine”
Is there something going on right now about parental leave benefits? Just a few stories below this one is a similar piece about Patagonia.
Was that because it was attracting a lot more people/visits from out of town? Also, not that it matters for your city's residents, but did anyone check for displacement effects, is the same amount of crime (with the usual adjustments) happening in the region serviced by it?

It's likely many of those people will also be spending additional money elsewhere in town on their additional visits (at least, that happens in Joplin a lot, although the #1 component of that is almost certainly our 2 hospital/healthcare centers), so did anyone try to figure out if the city financially benefited at net?

Not that that matters all that much if additional crime outside the Wal-Mart is hurting its residents. Or if that politician was lying, as far too many city council members seem wont to do :-(.
He slowly caressed his docker image while tenderly inserting it in the continuous delivery pipeline. The slow throbbing of the Jenkins service increased in intensity as the automated tests started firing off in a crescendo of etcd writes leaving a quivering micro-service that lay panting in its pod. That was a memorable deployment. The first of many that night...
Seems like the aim is to eliminate choking hazards and allergens.
