Versioning: The Smart Way to Sell Information (1998)
If officials from the U.N. or from the WHO warn about something, I sleep particularly well at night, knowing that it's probably blown out of proportion by several orders or magnitude. Remember the bird flu? My employer at the time bought truckloads of sanitizers, plastic bins and related stuff. A complete waste of money. These people have lost every last shred of credibility for me.
This would be counted as a loss for this years tax purposes. So they will pay fewer taxes this year.
To all these Skymind kool-aid drinkers, I won't bother arguing with you. I'll let the tensorflow vs DL4J usage numbers tell the story.

Spoiler: Tensorflow wins.
The more I read about this the more likely I think this decision could be appealed and overturned.

The initial implication is that Apple specially negotiated a lower tax rate for itself in Ireland. But if you read through the European Commission press release[1], it's not that a special rate was negotiated, but rather Apple Sales International (the Irish Subsidiary) only pays Irish income tax on the portion of its income that comes from within Ireland, which is correct according to Irish tax law. But there's nothing particularly special about this setup that applies only to Apple, and from what I can tell, any other corporation operating in Ireland could have also set up this arrangement and is subject to the same rules.

It doesn't make sense to me that the EU can compel Ireland to collect more taxes from Apple, if according to Irish tax law, they've already paid what they owe for Irish sales, and they don't owe taxes for non-Irish sales. Now, there is a separate question, which is can/should every other EU country go after Apple's local subsidiaries for failing to pay sufficient income tax in their own countries (by transferring the profits over to Ireland)? The answer to that is probably yes. If Apple sells an iPhone in Italy for a profit, it should pay Italian taxes on those profits, and should not be able to avoid Italian taxes by booking the profit in Ireland. This is touched upon in the press release:

> The amount of unpaid taxes to be recovered by the Irish authorities would be reduced if other countries were to require Apple to pay more taxes on the profits recorded by Apple Sales International and Apple Operations Europe for this period. This could be the case if they consider, in view of the information revealed through the Commission’s investigation, that Apple's commercial risks, sales and other activities should have been recorded in their jurisdictions. This is because the taxable profits of Apple Sales International in Ireland would be reduced if profits were recorded and taxed in other countries instead of being recorded in Ireland.

It seems more logical to me to conclude that that Apple doesn't owe more taxes to Ireland, instead they owe more taxes to all the other countries in the world where they operate but have avoided taxes by transferring their profits into Ireland.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for your perspective. All I can offer is that I've not seen this phenomenon in my own social circle (age:40). I have always considered "You can't have a social life without Facebook" to be pure hyperbole from people who never knew a world without FB.

I suppose we can agree that "it depends" on who your friends are. Oh, and I don't sweat downvotes on HN--any quick way to bury unpopular opinions can be hard to resist for some people.
Actually, it's a "gtkprint" feature. You don't have to install anything separately. But still something built-in into the operating system.
This is why one should always, always use client-side encryption. Want to encrypt to the server? Sure, fine, there are good reasons for that interaction to be encrypted. But there are good reasons for one's data to be secured from the server as well.

Any protocol in which a malicious server can do more than deny service is broken.

I think the gp was just saying,

Google and Uber started in different places, and therefore there didn't seem to be a conflict 5-10 years ago. i.e. Google = fully autonomous car research; Uber = practical service for transportation.

However, as they both iterate and approach their logical local-optimums they find more and more that there is actual competition. i.e. Uber and also Google = a service "driven by" a fully autonomous car fleet.

This seems to happen a lot with companies and individuals caught doing dodgy stuff. Not sure why though, they do realise the internet doesn't just 'forget' about things, right? That the Streisand Effect will mean this information will be screenshotted and archived everywhere and that they won't be able to fool anyone else like this?

Or that it pretty much 'confirms' their guilt for a lot of people?

But yeah, not surprising this has happened already.

I mentor a lot of people learning programming, and one of the key problems they tend to face is that a week between sessions gives them plenty of time to forget what they've just learned.

I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT PATTERN

I've been aware of how Facebook attaches people to you for a long time, so I deactivated that one, made a new Facebook several years ago primarily for development purposes, different name, different email address, friended a few people from one particular circle, never installed it on my phone

Facebook didn't have my address book, or a big enough graph to make these connections

I hadn't considered that those were the people merely searching for my name or variations of it

Alligators don't make swamps - they live in swamps. They do dig "alligator holes" but that is hardly swamp-making.

Nope. Just checked with a bud there. They're 99pct linux and java and 1pct solaris. They might have some .net on internal desktop apps.
Some languages do have a "life before main", but it's not always clear that it's a good thing. I don't have a link offhand, but I think it has a bad rap because it's often used to initialize some kind of global state, with all the cons global state brings.
So do I, but it seems to weird people out pretty strongly when I use it. That could be to do with me rather than with it, but it's rare in my experience that I'm unable to bring people with me to at least some extent, so I've been going on the surmise that it's more a problem with what I'm saying than with the way in which I say it. I could be wrong about that, though, and how would I really be able to tell?

This is called immunotherapy and it is not mutually exclusive, and it is being worked on to treat certain diseases.
However it's not nearly as simple as you might think and many immunomodulatory drugs have considerably worse side effects.

Immunomodulatory drugs to some extent "predate" modern antibiotics before the antibiotic boom and the advancement in modern wide spectrum antibiotics immunomodulatory drugs were commonly used to treat severe infections.

The side effects of these drugs are very very severe, can be fatal, and can cause hereditary malformations Thalidomide is probably the most famous case of a "wonder drug" going very very wrong it is still used today in extreme cases of leprosy and to treat some cancers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide

But just to be clear these type of treatments are just as "designer" molecules as any other drug, there are no magic fixes in medicine you find the most effective vectors to attack a disease and you use them.

But overall >Crazy - I never actually took a step back and wondered if we could boost our defense as a strategy.

This is a bit silly, we have had vaccines before we had antibiotics :) we wash our hands, keep ourselves clean, dress wounds etc. these are all "defense boosting" strategies, and they both predate and coexist with "offensive" treatments.
If anyone from Google is listening, this is probably a better place to vent than submitting a support ticket. I don't care what it looks like, +'s functionality has been broken for me for almost a year and it has killed how my entire family uses it. I went through great pains to teach my family to not send photos and videos over email. We all had Gmail accounts and we all used the Google Photos camera sync so it seemed like a great idea to teach them to share content within a Circle in +. It worked great for a while until out of nowhere I could no longer see any of my sister's posts. I went through both her and my account many times looking for permissions issues or errant blocks and found nothing. I submitted multiple support issues from both her account and mine and nothing. (And on a side note, I like the support feature that allows you to screenshot and annotate the issue you are having, but 90% of all issues I have in + are inside a modal window, which cannot be screenshot. You literally cannot report issues that happen inside a modal window, WTF?).
My sister generated the majority of the content my family Circle consumed and now that she can't be seen, our entire usage of + has all but stopped. People have reverted back to emailing photos and videos and we're right back where we started...

I don't care what it looks like, if it doesn't work, I won't use it.

I also used the Hangouts on Air feature extensively and never understood why it had to be originated in + and why you _had_ to invite people. The best use case for this tool was to do screen recording that was automatically imported into YouTube but getting the right combination of + account and YouTube account and making sure you were authorized to use Hangouts on Air with YouTube was incredibly frustrating. Hopefully the new flow using YouTube Live will allow going on-air without forcing you to invite an audience.

And while I'm at it - suggesting people join Communities but hiding the fact that there are sub-topics in these communities was a huge dark pattern I hated. I joined the Linux community thinking I would see some interesting packages or hacks or discussions and all I found was perpetual posting of Wind0w$ is teh Suck memes and obvious spam. The _majority_ of my interactions on + was marking posts as spam and blocking users hoping content would improve, and it never did. It wasn't until much later that I figured out I could unsubscribe from sub-topics, if I could only find where they were listed.
Maybe I'm naive but I was struck at how empty this company's mission and vision was (nevermind its ethics, which were well-covered in the original Medium post), and yet the founder and his friend/CTO put in so much of their own money into it. Were they complete greedy fools, or is VC money that easy to glom on to? WrkRiot didn't even have a "soon-to-be parodied by Silicon Valley HBO", TEDdy nonsensical ring to it, e.g. "its like Airbnb, but for your 401K". It was just a straight up dull and stupid "Yeah, we're gonna beat Linkedin" pitch, just as if someone were to throw $1M of their money behind the claim "We'll take on Google by using advanced AI machine learning!"

According to their Crunchbase [0] (which could obviously be incomplete), there's no institutional investors listed in their initial or seed round. I mean it's one thing to waste other people's money on a dumb idea, but this seems masochistic.

edit: Another befuddling thing besides the enormous headcount was the fact that the original whistleblower was brought in from Dallas and offered equity and a $135K salary and a signing bonus. That seems like a huge chunk of money for a marketing executive at a small tech startup. Again, ignoring the reality that he couldn't really afford her, what did the CEO imagine would be investors' reaction to such a pricey hire?
Honestly, one's record does eventually catch up with one. This is going to last for this individual for awhile (if not forever)...

I've encountered people who reported title inflation on their LinkedIn page, oversold what they did, and when starting their own venture, due diligence pointed out severe faults the individual papered over.

Good or bad, things will catch up with you eventually.
I'm a big proponent of GMOs and Monsanto has been making very good progress there. The controversy over them suing innocent farmers is exaggerated, IMO. Overall I think they are an undoubtedly hugely beneficial company to society.
"The SEC had said that Monsanto lacked sufficient internal controls to account for millions of dollars in rebates that it offered to retailers and distributors. It ultimately booked a sizeable amount of revenue, but then failed to recognize the costs of the rebate programs on its books."

This is what happens when you take glyphosate and multiply the cost/production price by well over 50x and package it as some miracle product. If your marketing strategy is to mislead every single purchaser then it is no surprise that you lose sight of how many strands of bullshit marketing you are running.

Roundup is a great example of one of those products that are cash cows for companies that market themselves as "the best solution"

Every.Single.One of the roundup products is glyphosate, and that stuff will kill anything and is very very cheap.

Dear readers be aware - glyphosate is a chemical that is present in all weedkillers (except the really shitty ones) so buying the brand name is a total waste of your money, and the amazing people at Roundup HQ know it. Buy the no-name, unbranded stuff.

I can understand Coca Cola etc selling sugar water for huge margins, but I pull my hair out when it comes to something like glyphosate. That's how I get my roots under control.
And at the point that they start using that its 100% a Facebook problem, but I don't believe that they are at this point.
I think running a Docker container for Wordpress or Joomla installs. If setup correctly with the right folders setup as volumes (i.e. wp-content for WP) and the rest would be part of the docker image. If WP gets corrupted/infected, then starting a brand new image would remove most of the corrupted files.

I don't believe this is true, ConnectBot has commits to master as recently as 21 days ago; it is just that development is slow and stable releases aren't coming out very often.
As another user with nothing but negative experiences with Riak-CS in production, I thought I'd take a stab here. We had a 12-node cluster with ~10TB per node, fwiw. In no particular order:

- The restart times of the Riak process ranged from 10 minutes to 3+ hours, during which time the cluster was basically useless. Not a single suggestion from support sped up this process.

- Every single night from 0800 - 0900 UTC, the cluster would grind to a halt (as measured by canaries measuring upload/download cycle times). This continued even after we migrated all customer data and traffic off of the cluster.

- Riak-CS ships with garbage collection disabled despite it being a critical feature. I inherited a cluster that had been run for some months without gc enabled. Turning it on caused the cluster to catastrophically fail. Basho Support, over a period of close to a year, was unable to find a single solution that would get our cluster back to health. If our cluster were a house on a show like Hoarders, the garbage in it would be considered load bearing.

- We attempted to upgrade our way out of our un-garbage-collect-able mess, but the transfer crashed. Every. Single. Time.

- Even had transfers worked, all of the bloated manifests have to be copied in their entirety, so you can't gc the incoming data on the new cluster.

- Even while babying the cluster, it would become unusable at least once a month, requiring a restart of all nodes. The slowest node took 3+ hours to start, followed by another 3+ hours of transferring data. This was 6+ hours of system downtime every month.

- During these monthly episodes, we attempted to engage with support and try to debug the processes (we were a team of seasoned Erlang developers). We could attach Observer and/or use the REPL to grab stats, but not a single support resource was able or willing to engage.

- For giggles, once we had migrated all users off of the cluster, we attempted to let gc run. It never completed. Not once. We let this go on for a few months before nuking the entire cluster.

Now, I absolutely realize that we got ourselves into that mess by running the cluster without gc for an extended period. But in the grand scheme of things, this cluster wasn't storing a very large amount of data -- tens of TB spread over tens of millions of objects. Having the cluster get into a state where gc can never run and where this causes snowballing instability is unacceptable.

We switched to Ceph. We've never looked back.
That would only be true if the opera always sold out and lots of people couldn't get seats. If every person that wants to go to the opera is able to do so, the fact that some of them are paying higher amounts doesn't mean everyone should. If the ticket prices raised to the amount the brokers charge, then a lot of the people who are buying direct might just stop attending at all.
it's extremely distracting. I find it hard to read the content with those. Luckily the page renders in text browsers ok.

Couldn't you also say "someone who's only known living under government will not easily be able to imagine any alternative"?

I.E. that which is uncomfortable isn't necessarily wrong. It's just uncomfortable. If I have an idea that is wrong, it doesn't threaten you, if it's just an idea. It would be safe to evaluate it, consider it, try to understand what weakness in my thinking has led me to that conclusion.
No, I can't really articulate it.

Maybe it comes down to feeling that the cost of #ad in the corner of the movie is much higher than the value of doing so.

How about when ESPN televises a NASCAR race. Ever car is covered in ads, do they have to have #ad on screen for the entire broadcast?

Although, if a disclosure rule that would lead to broadcasters removing their bug watermark in the corner came along, I would be all for that.
True. Note as well that 9.4 has introduced recovery_min_apply_delay to somewhat leverage such errors by delaying replication (well actually it delays the moment when WAL records doing transaction commit are applied at recovery, and does so after a consistent point has been reached at recovery). Still this does not replace the fact that a robust backup strategy should combine both physical and logical backups.

> And it is very naive to think that ads aren't necessary in today's society.

I work at Google, so I fully understand how much of today's economy rests on top of advertising. But that doesn't mean society needs to, just that it has chosen to.

I haven't heard compelling arguments that advertising is much of a net boon to humanity. To me, it mostly looks like tools to steal my precious attention in order to make me feel bad about not having a product I didn't know I was missing out on in the first place.
