Yes, particularly for the HiDPI support for Windows. If Java 9 slips to summer 2017, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and manually scale our Windows GUI on HiDPI (shudder) unless Darcula (https://github.com/bulenkov/Darcula) comes through for us.
I find Google increasingly resembles the obese man in the Monty Python sketch [1] and like him comes across as a creepy, unpleasant and odious entity.

Its insatiable mining of human actions only sinks it uncontrollably further into its gluttony making it more and more oblivious and distant from anything human reducing them to mere actions and patterns.

There is no place for human niceties like privacy here. It thrives on dehumanization and the impersonal. Every single action is simply another data point to be analysed, patterned and consumed.

I remember the bolt announcements happening during some massive criticism of Detroit automakers for asking for bailouts, and them needing some justification for congressional intervention to keep them alive. It's obviously more complex than that, but I would give more credit to the threat of dying than (what was at the time) a niche electric sportscar manufacturer run by a guy with extremely divided attention.
You also have to pay for the bounded, mappable area around that dwelling, unless you live in a ship on international waters or a perpetually-aloft aircraft in uncontrolled airspace.

In many places, homelessness, squatting, and camping without explicit permission are illegal. You might not have to continuously pay for the spot on which you stand, but if you stay on it for too long, eventually someone will come to collect or make you move on.
In this case yes, funding cz.nic has zero risk. They just sent an email saying the first shipments will start this week.

It's not hard to spot the lonely kids in the cafeteria and bully them.

What used to be a trigger for inventing a game, building a den, or making something new with lego is far more filled with minutes on YT.

This hurts to read because it really nails it. This very thing has been on my mind quite a bit lately after watching my older kids now as young adults. We managed to keep them away from much of this simply because we never thought it necessary, but apparently not to the extent I wish we would have. Now with complete freedom of how they spend their time I’m not exactly pleased with the results. They still seem to be lacking the inner drive to create, but instead would rather consume.

My desire was for them to know how to be satisfied from within, developed from their own inner source, not coming from the outside, simply fueled by what they are consuming.

Where is that? EU wide? In the UK its £9.99 which I've always found too expensive compared to services like Netflix, NowTV, Amazon Video etc. Personally I feel the price point should be around £5 or less, otherwise I can buy an album every other month on iTunes and own it forever, so for me at least this price point doesn't work.
I think you could argue that people are going to be less "well rounded". In the past, you were pretty much stuck with the people in your school / town. It was probably pretty common to feel like the only person that cared about incredibly specific nerdy hobby X. But also, maybe you made friends with someone that cared about completely different things. Now a days, it's really easy to find other people that also care about incredibly specific nerdy hobby X and make friends with them. Whether that's good or bad (possibly missing out on other experiences) is yet to be seen.
Too much effort all at once. Really, just set your goal to spend five minutes looking at it.
Most of the API's are changed. Will need to migrate the code base from swift 2.3 to swift 3. Tedious work. But what I liked about the swift 3 API change was the swifitification of the GCD API. I liked it

I would describe Java as verbose, inflexible, and outdated. While it's possible to write maintainable code, it's a real uphill battle. Core libraries such as Java2D are also pretty buggy... after all these years.

Give me C# any day, or better yet, F#.

Tesla is a "tech startup" that cannot even include support for Android Auto or CarPlay.
It was said in another post but it bears repeating - you might find that ugly, to my eyes it is indistinguishable from a good 50% of the cars on the road in the country I live in - the UK. I personally am not satisfied with an average hatchback, it seems most people are though.

I agree with you about the BMW i3. The i8 is pretty though...

We use Google Apps too but the services are up and running perfectly.

On googling, I realized this is a common issue reported multiple time.

Few things that you would like to consider and think:
- Did you guys just started using Google Apps. If yes, then it takes around 24 hours for the services to get activated.
- The admin might have suspended the account.
- Are you sure your payments for Google Apps are going through? We faced a similar problem once when we had a problem with our Credit Card.
GM Chevy Bolt or Opel/Vauxhall Ampera-e should help with the electric car adoption in the US and Europe which I look forward to.
While TM3 may be worth waiting, Tesla is going to be slow meeting the domestic demand, not to start going internationally. Affordable, high mileage electric cars is what we need to speed up the transition from ICE powered cars to electric ones. Apart from Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 or Volkswagen e-Golf are not really helping much this segment (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQelhFzK3Po, translated "The electric car fairy tale"), so it's awesome to see an affordable, high mileage electric car.
I don't see the connection. The core code and data of ad-supported companies like Google and Facebook are closed, while the open source companies and projects like Red Hat and OpenStreeMap are not usually ad-supported.
And if you dig deeper you'll find a slightly different story, including the countless cases where groups like B'Tselem brought to court and lost due to proof of purchase.

You are also incorrect about the use of the absentee law, this was used however it was used within Israel after the 1948 war, and the last time it was used was in the 1950's and since then has been surpassed.

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

In theory even if that law was valid today it could not have been used in the west bank, the law is part of the Israeli legal code which does not apply to the West Bank as Israel has never officially annexed it and applied it's laws within it.

Technically the West Bank (including Israeli settlers) are not bound by Israeli law, they are bound by military law which is administered through the civil administration, there are a few caveats and that Israeli law to some extent does applies within the territory of a specific settlement but overall this isn't uniform.

Israelis can be brought in front of a military tribunal for violating the law within the West Bank and this has have happened before, this is often used to kick out "trouble makers" out of the settlements by effectively denying them entrance into the west bank which cannot be done through Israeli civil law but can be done through the military tribunal process.
It's a matter of taste.

As for me, that I tinkle more with .NET, I see their (Swift's) grass greener in the fact that they are not afraid of making breaking changes if they truly benefit the platform, something which I don't see MS doing anytime soon.
Basic rights for a lot of people, even our own citizens, do not exist under US law. Even our own prisoners are denied pretty basic rights (solitary confinement for literally years at a time, sometimes over a decade). Felons who have served their time are denied basic rights (voting) in some states. People have spent over a decade in prison without any sort of due process (from contempt of court, being ordered to do something they couldn't).

The lack of a law forbidding something is not justification for it being acceptable behavior.

>The US cannot allow people... take matters into their own hands

That we have a (flawed) systemic and protected whistleblower system says that the government itself disagrees with you. And save your breath if you're going to try to argue Snowden should have used that system - it wasn't available to him despite people trying to argue otherwise.
But part of the reason he was paid so much was because he lived in the Bay Area; Facebook wouldn't pay nearly as high salaries if they were based in the Midwest. In "any other location," he still might not have been able to afford hobby racing, and it's weird to act entitled on the one hand and not acknowledge the other, as if the salary is deserved solely based on the work he's done, and the cost of living is a completely separate punishment.

There are all-in one units using a single drum. I've never investigated but my understanding is that they're pitched primarily for more space-constrained situations. (Example: http://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Washers-Dryers-All-In-...)

I'm not sure of the tradeoffs. If you have the space, doing laundry while you're in the house for other reasons and transferring manually is the least of the effort.
White House women want to be in the room where it happens
Yeah, but it was massively uneconomical. They were leasing it for less than $500 a month and producing it at a cost higher than $50,000. Of course people thought that was great.
I think there is something to be said about living beyond their means but, to me, a new car and home for my family is a fair middle class lifestyle. (You can quibble over the 40k price tag, but buying a 40k car and making it last doesn't have as much of a financial difference as a 30k car over the long term)

I think this article is speaking out against this narrative that techies are incredibly well paid while in reality we mostly work in over priced cities with awful commutes and have a government and industry openly trying to suppress wages.

Any time one of us says "hey, we aren't that well paid" there is always someone to say we should move further away from work, or downsize, or skip having a family, or stick to rice and beans and it's getting old.
$100K/year is an entry level salary at many places these days. If you're not entry level and don't have absurd amounts of student loans, then you can afford to do better. You can have less of a commute, or maybe not live with roommates, and actually put some money into savings. It's still nowhere near poverty wages.

Mainly because engineering machines that deal with water plus electronics plus moving parts, and making the whole shebang reliable is really hard.
But the argument for living in a simulation is parasitic on being outside of a simulation. We say that we could be inside a simulation because we notice that the physical world seems to support the possibility of incredibly detailed simulations which could be indistinguishable from what we experience now. But if we're in a simulation, none of that reasoning applies.

In that case, the argument is undermined.

My take on Google X projects is to do cool things that may find alternate revenue streams to selling ads (or just do cool things, without necessarily having a business plan up front). Sure Google makes most of their money from ads, but they are trying lots of different things to make money elsewhere. Self driving cars, Ara, Google Glass, and others weren't trying to push ads, they were trying to find new products to make money in some other way (maybe).

Google's push to expand their Cloud offering is also showing them trying to pursue non-ad based revenue.
Principia Cybernetica introduced me to pantheism (not really a theism at all). It is wonderful that the internet still allows people to stumble upon things that can positively change their life, even if it is hard to find those things. It was probably harder to find such things before the internet.
Huh? Abuse? I've been working in the Boston tech community for a long time and have not heard this. Localytics as an engineering culture has always been top notch. Yes, the company has lost people, good people at that, but the team is still doing very innovative things. Ive spoken with people who are there now who still say its still a very good engineering environment.
Agree, one of the better books on the subject in the sense of framing a potential path towards the robotic revolution.
It looks like SQ is going all-in on the A350 to expand their list of destinations.

I am looking forward to the restart of their SIN-NYC nonstop[0] on the A350-900ULR. The discontinued A340-based flight was out of my price range at the time, so I never had a chance to fly it. I did fly the (also discontinued) Thai Airways JFK-BKK once—it was neat to get on a plane in NYC and get off in Southeast Asia.

Part of the reason he's making that much is because he's in the Bay Area; Facebook would pay their employees less if they were based elsewhere. He can't say he deserves a certain lifestyle based on salary, and is being punished unfairly by location, because those are not at all separate factors.

The first five A380s that SIA received on lease from Doric, of which this is one, are very early production airframes[0] and are noticable heavier and less efficient than the later 14. SIA have talked about this on several occasions, it's no different to Boeing's 'terrible teens' 787s that are less desirable than later production examples and which will probably suffer the same fate.

They also have five more A380s on order, so if they drop the lease on the other four oldest airframes then their A380 fleet will remain static. But that's not as exciting a headline.

[0] construction numbers 003, 005, 006, 008 and 010. Their most recent in service is 092, for contrast, and 243, 247, 251, 253 and 255 are on the production schedule for them.

It's interesting to look through the data Google collects about you. If you use voice search on a mobile device, check out https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity?restrict=vaa&utm_so... to see the history of audio snippets it's collected from you. It's neat to see both what the voice-to-speech system heard and how it interpreted it.

(Note: this can be disabled [https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6030020?hl=en], but Google is collecting it de-anonymized to build a voice model of you specifically so that speech recognition works better on all the devices using Google Voice APIs. It's being done to improve the way the service works for you).

The funny thing is there's basically a jethro in my family but I won't get into that here. In California there's still some specialty crops on expensive land that allow for family owned operations but even here it's probably going to be a thing of the past soon.

I worked on an avocado ranch (insert unnamed corporate sponsor here) in undergrad and I met a lot of "jethros" - there's a fraternity called AGR, I think that's where they trained them.

Even the guys with agribusiness degrees at cal poly were hicks, I used to drink beers on the job, etc. And I was in charge of killing the gophers, sometimes with horrible poison, sometimes with "rodex".

The day I quit, I said something about the entire field of agriculture not being interesting enough and I switched majors the next quarter.

Exactly. Currently, it doesn't bother me, since the 'your data' and 'your interests' and such for me are so random and sporadic.

Of course, I also don't walk around with everything turned on, checking in at every location, posting reviews about everything. I just conserve my battery life and use GPS only on the rare event I need to do a long distance trip or have to find someplace especially tricky.

Back in 2009 you could rent a house with a yard in a nice part of Palo Alto for ~2.5k/month (Or less, my wife and I were paying 1.8k at the time for a small but very nice house with a 1 acre yard). ~$100k (while still reasonably entry-level) went pretty far then.

I tend to doubt your fear is to have your "terrorism points" incremented in some database, but rather the cold and distant nature of the federal government makes it nearly impossible to reason through how you're _not_ a terrorist (assuming you're not). There's no organized mechanism by which you can disprove your terrorism affiliations. Otherwise, being put in a database would be as much an issue as changing the wrong address on your insurance policy.
Thanks for this. Looks like there are Gmail outages.

Doesn't ETOPS vastly predate the A380? I don't think it's really that relevant, other than in a general sense. To put this in context, ETOPS is what killed MD11 development in the 1980's.

The A380 was proposed well after etops-120 was widely utilized by airlines, and etops-180 was announced in 1988 with airlines taking advantage of it relatively quickly. These were certainly were not new unexpected market conditions the aircraft faced after production.
