In 3-5 years we'll probably hear founders tell stories about how this new rule allowed them to establish very successful companies in the US. That should help prove the value of a proper founder visa and (assuming the immigration system is still broken at that time) pass legislation to fix it.

Both definitions of "value" are accurate. That's what makes this whole thing so confusing.

Officially, yes, cat is right, but in common usage, value leans more towards my definition.

Does ProtonMail have a feature similar to the "full inbox encryption" [1] mailbox has? Also, there are some nice features in mailbox, like only allowing to send email to other servers which support encryption [2].

I'm genuinely curious if ProtonMail has similar functionality on offer, especially since it appears to be free.

Doubtful one person, but a board of directors choosing where to maintain, increase, or reduce investment does. And their legal fiduciary duty is to maximize profits. That is the system's design right there.
That's it. Thanks.
One thing I like to point out whenever this kind of discussion comes up, is that there is no single index. Articles like this always seem to assume that everyone will buy the same index, namely the S&P 500 or total US market.

But that's not what a lot of index investors do. Indexers enjoy adding tilts to their portfolios. So some people will buy value funds, others will buy small cap funds, and yet others will buy small value funds. There are people who overweight certain sectors, like REITs or utilities. There are those who invest in international index funds (with all their variations) and those who don't. So there's a huge number of combinations you can think of when it comes to indexing.

Now, with people indexing like that, there would still be market liquidity. Maybe not as much as when there are single stocks being actively traded, but on any given day there will be people buying into different indexes, selling shares, or rebalancing.

Valuation would become troublesome though, but at least people would still get some return from dividends.

From the link you shared:

> Safari on _OS X_ supports WebDriver, which lets you automate web-content testing.

I don't see any mention of iOS in relation to WebDriver.
> Play music has no desktop client so it's not even worth considering.

It has no first-party native desktop client, but...so, what, really? Its streaming content from the internet anyway, so I can't really see what the problem is with using a web client as the first-party desktop client.

(OTOH, there is at least one third-party non-web desktop client for it.)

What are your experiences running Linux for real-world development?
I was wondering if anyone has experience running Linux full-time for software development in a corporate environment, including startups and smaller companies. What were you developing? What distribution did you use, and how large was your team? How was the operating system managed (e.g. independently or through an IT department?

How was your experience with all of this? Have you identified any long-term consistent problems using Linux exclusively? Did you find yourself wishing you could instead run OSX or Windows? What about for non-developers on your team? I ask because it seems a lot of the problems of the Linux desktop (like overwhelming choice and configuration) seem like they could be solved with a knowledgable IT department provisioning the machines, but I have no direct experience to reference.

I am especially interested in experiences developing final goods for customers outside the Linux ecosystem, versus for example working at Redhat on kernel development.
rdio did not exist outside the US and Grooveshark was never really a legitimate service.
Yeah, to clarify, my initial gripe was that he didn't clarify his terminology to begin with. His definition is correct, it's just uncommon, and confusing as a result. He really should have clarified this in the head comment.
I'm taking an underhanded approach? You're the one that just said "no, you're wrong", with no evidence, then just handwave away some evidence that I present, dismissing it by fiat as well.

Horseshit. Like any movement, some people go too far. But as a counter-example, in one of his shows, Dara O'Briain heard someone in the audience yell out "Yeah, fuck PC!", to which he replied "Yeah, fuck those people and their manners". The bulk of PC behaviour is very good, it's just the extremes that stand out, like with anything.

And seriously, quoting a Fox News article in support of what you have to say? You do know that their 'Fair and Balanced' slogan is just an ironic joke that they use? I use the relatively neutral Google to support my argument, and you use the frothy, proven liars of the extreme right wing Fox News? Yeah, I'm the one taking the underhanded approach here...

Oh look! They're doing exactly that with exclusives.

Do you have links to more? I only found one paper from 14 years ago. It is interesting but it comes with a huge YMMV since they only examined specific projects which might not have a pattern that _requires_ a custom strategy anyway. A distribution of the objects along with time distribution would have been nice to include.

Only really exists on mobile. Spotify exists everywhere (hardware, all mobile platforms, all gaming consoles, etc.).

So? You can already do that. You can put an NFC shell around your phone which connects with bluetooth and that is being done already. You can touch an Android phone or anything else. Same story.
You appear to be under the impression that people just sorta do heroin for no reason.

Thanks for commenting here, and for your link. She's had plenty of experiences with psychedelics (including bad trips), so I don't know that it'd be appropriate for her individual needs at this time.

Right now she's gotten through the withdrawal part of her opiate addiction. She's only been relapsing because the psychiatric medications they force her to take don't help her feel better.

I think she needs help with fixing her metabolism... There are some good therapies that I'd use, if I had access.
Yes, I also thought about this danger too when reading it. Also, assuming the savings are real, that means the aircraft would take on less fuel. Then, if the actuator fails and the craft is reduced to flying the old, less-efficient, way, it may be in trouble - e.g. in trans-atlantic flight or in conditions where there's no easy landing nearby, since your fuel consumption rises dramatically.
> Actually if this reclassification moves markets it will not be to due to passive investing.

Sure, its easy to show where your thinking went wrong here...

Say there is one passive ETF for the US market and the US market is composed of 2 sectors, Finance and Tech that are balanced at say 60-40 split. There is now a 3rd sector call REITS that is 10 percent of the market.

The ETF now has to transfer from a 60-40 split to a split where 10% is now attributed to REITs. This 10% comes at the expense of other sectors, which is how a passive ETF can move markets.

There have been hedge funds positioning themselves for this move for 6 months now.

Also in other "reported by neighbor for walking around" stories of this sort: An Indian man visiting his son was reported as a 'suspicious black man walking around' – and was bodyslammed to the ground by a police officer for "not co-operating", which ended up leaving him partially paralyzed. The cop walked free. [1]

Maybe the police themselves should implement filters like Nextdoor.

How dense is the concentration of dark matter? I mean, it's affected by gravity, so could it/does it come together to form "dark stars" of some form? And what would happen if I had a chunk of dark matter in a lab: what would it look like? Would it be invisible? Would I be able to pick it up in my hand, or would the particles just slip through ordinary matter like a ghost? I'm guessing the answer to most of these is "we don't know," but I'd love to know if we have any guesses.
From what I know of the market, most of the money paid to music services goes to paying the contracts.

I am not happy about it. Typelevel projects are just porting the style familiar to Haskell programmers to Scala, and a full fork to accomodate this style seems to be an overkill.

I know, many people are happy to go full throttle on Cats/Scalaz/whatever, but there's already Haskell for that. Official Scala documentation never even mentions the word "monad" (not even once!), and I think this is a good thing.
> This is false, you can call any async signal safe function. Incidentally write is one of them.

Which malloc() is not. Anything that might internally allocate is out of the question. The list of functions that are safe to call in C alone is very limited and even then the question of errno arises.
There will always be active investors. People will always think they know a way to succeed in the market that nobody else does. It's human nature. Plus, there will always be VCs, hedge funds, and other high-risk, high-reward investment vehicles used by the wealthy to add some spice to their otherwise conservative portfolios.

There may be fewer active investors than before, but that doesn't mean the market won't function.
“Apple treated me like I was a voice of a creative community that they actually cared about,” Swift told Vanity Fair about the latter dispute, which saw Apple change its plans not to pay rightsholders for streams on its Apple Music service’s free trial shortly after she criticised them in a blog post.

“And I found it really ironic that the multi-billion-dollar company reacted to criticism with humility, and the start-up with no cash flow reacted to criticism like a corporate machine.”
If you have many windows and tabs open it's super annoying to track down the one with the music player on it. Much easier to Apple-Tab to an app.
"The researchers who found Dragonfly 44 weren't looking for a dark galaxy. Another surprise: They found it using a telescope built of camera parts. The Dragonfly Telephoto Array was built by a group of astronomers at Yale University and the University of Toronto who realized that telephoto lenses — so often used for nature photography and sporting events — were well-suited for spotting the kind of large, dim objects that pose problems for typical telescopes."

Thanks for trying to help, but I'm using FF 44.0.x and Chrome 52.0.27x. The disruption occurred when CF generated a new cert with ECDSA, the old cert worked fine, until it expired.

https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200278659-E...

A 525 error states that the SSL handshake between CloudFlare and the origin server that hosts the domain failed. This means that CloudFlare is set to use Full SSL in the CloudFlare settings for the domain, so CloudFlare attempts to make a connection using SSL (for requests beginning in https://) to server that hosts the domain.

Likely reasons for this failure include:

The origin server does not support or is not configured properly for SNI.
The cipher suites that CloudFlare accepts and the cipher suites that the origin server uses do not match.
The origin server is not configured to use SSL and Full SSL is enabled in the CloudFlare settings.

"The cipher suites that CloudFlare accepts and the cipher suites that the origin server uses do not match." <- This. This is the issue. Again, I verified with the host and they do not plan on supporting ECDSA_P256 specifically, but do support other Elliptical Curve algos. So yes, it is an issue on my end but only to a point, the fallback certs that CF generates and manages aren't 'falling back'. There is no option to manage fallback certs on Free plan, that's fine, but the CF-provided fallbacks should have worked! Again, the issue is they generated a cert with a specific algo and presented that cert to my users without checking first to see if the server supported that algo. Make a cert signed with a random algo and who cares if it works or not? WTH?

Again, I am not asking for tech support here. I am researching CloudFlare alternatives though to begin the process of setting up new accounts to prepare for moving from CloudFlare before those domains suffer the same fail when their CF certs expire. CF was great until it wasn't.

Data, Information, Knowledge Discovery, and Knowledge Representation
Spouts is good but stagnated and maybe got worse. The app doesn't have good navigation. When you have been down a rabbit hole the only way out is to hit back repeatedly 10ish times. The search is pretty sensitive to typos and misspellings. And where did the "About the artist" section go?
In that case resisting any evil that people want is futile and we should just embrace it instead of fighting it. People want abortions? Rationalize and embrace. People want drugs? Rationalize and embrace. People want porn, gambling, prostitution, and more? Rationalize and embrace. Fighting those things "creates" more evil by criminalizing productive members of society and fostering black markets (according to you).

Why is there no middle ground? Why can't I be against abortion (which I consider recklessly irresponsible and evil in most cases), but still make an exception for cases of rape, mother endangerment, etc. Why can't I be against drug usage and availability, but still have compassion for people stuck in a rut? Why are the only sides you can pick so polarizing?

"X Strikes Out ..." is a terrible headline format, since "strikes out" means either to soundly fail or to optimistically begin a venture. Boo.
But is Apple Music operating at a loss, though? Doing so is not their modus operandi. They don't have a free tier and the only time they're not making money is during the one month trial period. On top of that, they actually do pay more to artists/labels.
It's Sam Harris who refused to acknowledge pretty factual statements which Chomsky was making. Like the fact that the attack on the Sudanese pharmaceutical facility was an act of terrorism at least as bad, if not worse than 9/11.
Still nothing concrete - to be called a 'shareholder' is not terribly meaningful, is it? Terms like "honorary co-founder" are meaningless.

I don't hold them harmless - it was not right to let the ambiguity go on so long. But s/he was complicit in that.
>These charts show how statistics can be used to mislead.

Someone says this every time a chart with a scale other than zero shows up somewhere. It's untrue, generally. The context of the information is what is important.

In this case, what is being emphasized is the difference between salaries of positions. What would the point be of having a mass of whitespace at the bottom of the chart? What relevance is the salary level in relation to zero? Scaling to zero would diminish the information being conveyed.
> Nobody should take this proposal as an example of the system working.

An even more relevant and striking article 7 years later. I truly worry for the kind of world my children may grow up in, filled with manufactured fears and helicopter parents buzzing about trying to prevent the world from getting in.

At 25, I grew up in one of the last unadulterated times to be young in our history. No cell phone, not much supervision, just a couple of friends and a forest that felt the size of the world. I wonder how long until true childhood adventure is lost for good - marginalized to after-school curriculums and playdates planned on "Tinder for Tots".
