Exactly. There is a difference between a EU political system and a EU free market as there is a difference between EU and EEA.

I havent heard a single person who are against the free market. But UK is split between some / most elite who dont want their nation to fell into others hand, the lower class who gets absolutely no benefits at all, ( They are poor with the free market, and they will STILL be poor if UK leave ), and basically the middle class who think money is the most important factor, and are willing to trade their nationalities for more money or higher standard of living.
That is a lot of acreage devoted to that intersection.

Something you should know about land: they ain't making more of it.
Congratulations on figuring it out so easily. If you check the literature you will see that most of us take far longer to come to the conclusion you did.
Correct, and expecting most people to actually do that. Not happening.

Does anybody have a list of similar gov services around the world?
this is all true, but i think the problem of JS is not the lack of generics and types, but the mindset - an honest conviction that one should pile up one layer of code on top of another like there is no tomorrow. this is the common trait between Java and JS developers. the sheer complexity of the system is the problem, not tooling. old farts like me think that complexity is bad and we try to avoid it at all cost. young generation thinks that complexity is good and try to increase it at every opportunity they have.
Where do you get that three years of support figure from? The only official numbers I've ever heard was 18 months, which lines up roughly with my experience.

I have a N5, which came out (just) less than three years ago, and it is not getting Nougat, which was released a few weeks ago. The last major update it got was around a year ago.

AFAICT with Google you're guaranteed to get the next OS version, if you're lucky you'll get the next next one (like N5 did with MM), but that's it.

Which, compared to iOS, feels pretty stingy.
I'm not talking about faith in the existence of technology, but in the capability of technology to produce life. By ruling out the existence of God, the only logical explanation for life is that it's the result of physical processes, meaning the chances of creating artificial life are high. If God does exist and is the cause of life, the chances of creating artificial life are low. Eliminating the God hypothesis is what leads to an optimistic expectation of artificial life. Since there is no proof against the existence of God, technological optimism for the creation of life is an act of faith.
The UK just approved a new nuclear power plant (Hinckley point) producing electricity at 9.25 pence per kwh.

Wind power generates at ~8 pence per kwh.

It literally required greater subsidies than wind farms to be built.
It's generally done by having the new "extended" version be so superior that others can't stand using the original anymore.
The combo of Active Directory + Exchange gives system administrators a lot of power to use permissions to limit who can alter or destroy critical data. But obviously someone has to be the master admin, and that person's power can't be limited by software.

Technological audit trails are trustworthy only to the extent that the admins running them are trusted.
That's something I took away from the article: video games (and games in general) actually make people feel happier and worthy (although it's a "fake" accomplishment).

I personally experienced that, during a "down" period, I took a lot of solace in games (particularly M:TG), getting some accomplishments there (national vice champion) made me feel less worthless.

But it also made me pursue goals that weren't in my own best interests in the long term and neglect more important things.

Overall, I'm glad I quit, since an unhealthy amount of time spent on games eats up on time that can be spent on skills that are valued by society, and I get obsessed very easily.

Your point about getting paid as a status signal also rings with stuff like NBA stars arguing about getting paid less than X player, even though they're both extremely well paid, since it signals a preference. And lots of studies about fairness and wages.

Worth noting that rarely any 2.5" HDD is faster than 100 MByte/s at 100 iops. This SD card could well come near that.
Nuclear is way to expensive even with massive subsides.

Grid solar is down to ~2.42 cents a kilowatt-hour. Look at that number and think why pay 5 times as much (12+ cents per kwh) for nuclear even after subsidies. Pumped storage is not free, but even with that it's still half as much for 24/7 solar power vs. nuclear power.

My biggest gripe is overreach. You start with sensible building codes, and eventually the city council is telling you what color bricks you have to use before they'll approve your plan. Yes this happens.
I didn't take the quoted text as a suggestion that the drive would be slower in any absolute terms. 'Comparatively' can be an ambiguous term - compared to what?
They make the world more open and connected.

That's true.

What they're also doing is preparing their markets ( fb, messenger, WhatsApp, oculus, etc ) for future products, like VR chat, VR multiplayer gaming and events ( Fb handsfree - voice controlled VR headset for gaming, social and events ), telepresence androids. Building psychological profiles to guide buying behavior, and adopt products like order clothes, items and food for delivery. Partnering with Amazon for delivery. Working out how to keep order and stability in a big community. Assisting intelligence collection.

The core UX is only one area of innovation. Much happens towards these other ends. In a lot of ways FB is far more future looking than the rest of the Big 5.
I've heard a lot of people who have gotten interesting in coding through a graphing calculator...but in 2016 doesn't anyone think that they're a bit outdated?

People started writing programs for graphing calculators because the needed these devices for school, so somebody should introduce kids to Raspberry Pis and Python.

It's a shame that in the US there is a lack of proper CS education in most schools. Not only is programming well-paying (most of the time) but it also helps students break down difficult tasks into simpler ones.
Not really.

One of the nice things about the Inspiron 3800 (and doubtless a few other models) is physical capacity for both a 2.5" SSD and an mSATA ... so you really can wander around with 2TB internal non-spinning disk.

(Good for bragging rights, but an expensive option.)
I don't care what they do with the front end so long as the core nntp-email gateway remains intact.
I though that Apple and Google already used the same design firm: Apple inc.
Check out the OnePlus 3. It's a "flagship killer" at a low price. I have one and it's excellent.
You can do that in TypeScript too: just target ES6, use all the features like spread/rest and async/await, then compile the result with Babel.
I know I'll never get a phone that's that expensive. Getting an expensive phone from Google is even less likely as they are the company most invested in selling me services and invading my privacy.

If I'm to buy an expensive phone it has to basically be a portable PC. Not tied to a vendor or service and not lock me out of repurposing it with custom firmware.
I want...
1) a thicker phone, so I can grab it without the grip feeling precarious, and because it has a super-sized battery that easily lasts ll day and all night.
2) 2 cameras, yes, but specifically for depth perception, because omg all the amazing programs I could write!
3) waterproof, cause I like pulling my phone out in the rain and I'm a klutz.
I use buble. It transpiles ES6 to ES5 2.5 times faster than babel on average. But be aware that buble is still a work in progress and only supports a subset of ES6 features. A very usable subset, but a subset nonetheless.
Google sold the Motorola phone division to Lenovo. Are you talking about something that happened before that?
I've delved into flash on iPods, though I haven't taken the plunge yet. You might want to look at https://www.iflash.xyz - there are adapters for multiple sd and micro sd cards, resulting in ridiculously large volumes. I think RAM limits the total number of songs supported, is the next bottleneck.
Are you saying we have not said?
> And you should look really, really hard at retention when it is not powered (do the bits leak away, past recovery by ECC, when it's been on the shelf for six months?)

Aside from the components physically degrading (or environmental factors like radiation), I've never heard, read, or experienced this issue. Why do you believe this SD card would be susceptible to data loss after as little as six months?
Another poster referred to this, but the most obvious reason for slow speed is intentional throttling due to thermal concerns.

It might actually have to be simply capped at an "always-safe" write speed due to limitations on the circuitry - is there room in an SD card format for adequate thermal sensors and the logic to limit write speed as the card heats up?
Even worse - this assumes you can get your 56K modem to connect at 56K (and remain connected at that speed).

Seventeen or so years ago when I had dial-up, I was lucky to get a stable 24k connection due to a variety of issues related to poor in-home wiring and outside phone wire quality. 16.8k was always reliable, above that, it was hit and miss. Maybe things have improved enough since then that a 56k connection can be taken for granted, but the wiring in my house hasn't changed, so to the extent that it was my wiring at fault, I'd assume I'd still issues.
Right, but there is no SoC that can compete with Apple's A10 fusion SoC. Google just buys off the shelf Qualcomm parts, and they are far slower, especially when you take into account that the Google phones need even more horsepower because they run at much higher resolution.
I'm thinking the early uses will be primarily video cameras and similar recording devices that need small, easily swappable "drives" that can handle large files. When you're on a shoot, you don't want to keep swapping storage media every 30 or 60 minutes. In our little studio (university setting so not as high end as a pro shoot) we use swappable drive bays in a recorder. Those just hold standard SSDs and can be popped out and plugged into an edit station for capture and transfer. Still not cheap though and ours are typically 512GB drives.
Perhaps you misunderstood my comment. I meant that why do we pay for people to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison with no chance to live a "normal"—go to school, have a career, start a family, provide for themselves—life?
Drinkable and breathable at all? Sure, since without water and air we die.

But what about tradeoffs? What if we can leave air polluted enough that two hundred years of breathing it would be fatal, and spend that money elsewhere? Would that tradeoff be worth it? No-one ever lives to be 200 anyway.

What about a century? Almost no-one lives to be 100.

At what point is the tradeoff no longer worth it?

And, to return to your statement (which I earlier conceded): drinkable water & breathable air can't be worth any cost, because if they cost my life then I can't enjoy them anyway.

Given that resources are fungible, and that money spent preventing acid rain could instead feed the hungry: how many people are you willing to kill in order to preserve buildings from corrosive rain?
The high temperature stuff is still very sensitive to strong changing magnetic fields, so I'm not holding my breath for MRI.
Again, to make this perfectly clear: she was only required to turn over official business emails. And was legally permitted to do what she wanted with her personal emails, including delete them.

It is nonsensical to say that following the law implies impropriety.

On top of this, the FBI recovered and reviewed many of the emails that she deleted, and did not find anything damning. They declined to recommend a prosecution.

Setting aside the politics of "it's Hillary Clinton and she's running for president," there is no evidence that she tried to break the law, or succeeded in doing so.

The evidence shows that she wanted some privacy, and even Hillary Clinton is entitled to that under the law.

Disagree with almost all of this. Liability should be with the owner of the car, like it mostly is today. They are the ones buying it and operating it on the public roads. They should have insurance to cover this liability.
This reminds me of Jiro Dreams of Sushi, and his advice to his kids (paraphrased): I don't care what you do, as long as you do it every day for the rest of your life.

I think one of the main thing this advice misses is that if you're doing a "lean startup" then you could very well end up doing something different than what you started. It's hard to know what exactly the continuation will be in what you do.
morgante: "Here's a different question: is it worth it?"

Only you can be the judge of that.

A better question is "What is the opportunity cost?". Is there something else that one could do with that same time that would be more valuable/useful?

I suspect that most persons have a number of things that would be more valuable to them than learning ML to some vague degree and undefined purpose. One might take an economics course, exercise more and pay more attention to one's diet to get into better shape, get more sleep, sell the boat, read Nicholas Taleb's second and third books, etc.

When I looked at the overhead for USB3 bulk transfers on Windows the system was spending a lot of time in the I/O and memory system stack (doing lots of page-wiring, and just going through layers).

External USB storage is find for archival and low volume use, but not great for anything you want performance out of.

Then again, on a laptop you probably don't have much choice . . .

>Care to elaborate on that?

I'm not the OP, but TypeScript supports union types (A | B ; a type that can be either type A or type B) and intersection types (A & B ; a type that is both A and B), while Dart doesn't. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types....

Typescript also has structural types, like Go and OCaml, which many people find nicer than nominal types. Structural types mean if I have an interface Blaz with two methods Foo and Bar, if I have an object MyObject with Foo and Bar methods of the same types then my object counts as a Blaz, while nominal types mean I have to write something like MyObject extends Blaz.
Yep on phones and laptops both the thinness trend has gone too far. Battery life and thermals both suffer because of this. Would prefer a slight correction towards thicker phones / laptops that run longer and cooler.

> If true, this would mean the old Nexus line is well and truly dead and Google is taking the Apple approach to pricing.

What old Nexus line are you talking about?

Most[1] Nexus phones have been priced high at launch with fairly average specs, if not disappointing.

I believe the 6P is the one truly high-end Nexus, and then there's the 5X that was grossly overpriced everywhere but in the US, and finally the Nexus 4 and 5 which were very good deals from the get-go.

[1] Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 6
ugh god, please!

I've been looking for something as Linux/Unix friendly and sturdy as an IBM thinkpad for what feels like an age now.

I was waiting for the Pixels, but the OnePlus 3 looks awesome for the price! How is the camera on that phone? I remember researching OnePlus 2 a while back, and it was the camera that killed it for me.
Verizon has at least broken the phone payments out, so a customer can compare the upfront price and a purchase contract. I guess the others have also.

Their advertising is still ridiculously misleading. They say the "Verizon Plan" starts at $35 a month, but that's before activating a device (which is $10 for a tablet and $15 for a phone) and taxes/fees. Cheapest phone is going to be ~$55 per month, it's ridiculous that they emphasize the $35 in their advertising.
Wow, you are hateful people. I've been a woman walking around with unshaven legs -- men recoil with disgust, tell me I am a "hairy beast", etc. It's been this way since middle school.

Men are not the only ones to put up with disgust from the opposite sex. Dealing with this universal human experience should not make you "lose respect" for 50% of the population because we are not a homogenous lump, we are individuals and we are all different.

The rights to the Amiga name are too much of a mess.

But the AmigaOS name and rights are in the hands of Hyperion, who keeps developing AmigaOS 4.x, and new hardware is regularly (well, sort of - there's a new "high end" box in the works) released under the AmigaOne name by A-Eon, and supports running AmigaOS, so the situation there isn't that bad (incidentally, Individual Computers, which this article is about also produces a number of accelerators etc. for classic Amiga's).

The lack of traffic is the entire reason people want to live on cul de sacs. If you fill a suburban street with traffic, the very people who want to live in the suburbs will not want to live on that street. Which is why people who live in the suburbs vote against multi-use zoning.
As someone living in a country where there are very lax building codes, I would welcome regulation that mandates what colors you're allowed to use!
"Try to get something done every day" has been the hardest and most rewarding part for me. It seems like it is mostly just reconciling long term and short term incentives. I'm incentivized tin the long run to finish and launch my side project but there are a ton of other short term incentives competing for my time today.

I put together https://codeorelse.com to help me with that. If I don't push to GiHub on a day, I have to pay $1 (or more if i want). Seems to be helping.
Sounded like a logical thing to do, and we thought of that as well. There were really two reasons: The "dumb" one was "Corporate Standards" which always seemed to serve as a method to ensure the worst possible product was forced upon everyone. I could have worked around that with a bit of political effort.

The bigger reason, though, was that the code was written targeting specific vendor APIs. Other cameras simply weren't compatible with that code and it would have been a bigger nightmare working that out, unfortunately.
Yep. My several-years-old prosumer Nikon (D7000) has two slots and I can configure them either as mirrored for redundancy, overflow in case I misjudge how much storage I need, or I can use one for RAW and one for JPEG in case I need to show a preview before I get a chance to process the RAWs.

Typically I just have it set as mirrored since I only shoot occasionally as a hobbyist and a corrupted card is the most likely "fail state" I'd encounter.
I'm (mostly) a libertarian, and I disagree. I think the government is fundamental at keeping the society sane, secure and organized.
> JSX support in TypeScript is not wedded to React.

Agreed. Here's an example of JSX in TypeScript that has nothing to do with React. UI Builder is a templating library, just like Mustache, but much better because you get full intellisense and compile-time checking for the template:

Because of security.
Completely agree. But it can take a lot of time before locals get used to new driving as well. Really, anything besides standard intersections will cause more headache than good because humans don't like change.
How safe is the safest intersection - The one without humans. Humans need simple fast intersections that they can take in only enough information that is processed without complicated thought.
At this point in infrastructure and human driving, we should not introduce new anything.
L4 is great, but it doesn't solve application security problems. L4 by itself doesn't do much, and whatever you build on top of it --- if you're not yourself using formal methods, which very few real product teams do --- isn't going to inherit its security.
Unlike healthcare exchanges?
I think he means providing software support, like updates. It is unacceptable for a $650 phone to only get 2 years worth of updates. Apple provides 4-5y. Sure, sometimes features are removed on older devices, and they run slower, but surely that's better than no updates at all. My company will not allow phones to connect to the exchange server if you have a phone that doesn't get monthly security updates.
it's nice to hear that you're a flexible and accomodating customer who's not adverse to companies having some IT issues.

Unfortunately banks in the UK are regulated by the FCA and they are more than a little picky about that kind of thing. As an example RBS were fined £56 million for an outage a couple of years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_RBS_Group_computer_system...)
