Correct me if I am wrong, MS Sql server isn't true MVCC database and there is some support and it is not default, you have to set READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON for the database. They implemented it in 2005. Most microsoft shops don't bother to develop their softwares for this, they are using archaic locking transactions. I've seen many Sql Server deployments keep choking on locking transactions and and people are buyin bigger servers, more Windows and Sql Server licences for each cpu/core to deal with their choked database server.

So while Postgresql's defaults are all about technical concerns, Sql server's defaults are just convenient for Microsoft sales team.
Legally, in most US states... it would be a stretch. The prosecutor would have to prove that the lender reasonably expected their friend to commit the crime.

Honestly, it's a classic capitalism vs. communism argument.

Economically: Many channels will die, which would lower production costs, which in a competitive market lowers consumer costs.

More importantly, channels will actually need to fight for consumers. Which means they are not going to soft ball ultra cheap reality TV that most of their core demographic hate. cough syfy
Great news, looking forward to full 3.5 support.
Yes, these exist, but a few notable stories that broke are little compared to the relentless onslaught of news from Viet Nam during the war there. It was the first time that TV news from a warzone was readily available, and footage of the fighting was still shocking to people, so it attracted viewers. As a result, new footage from Viet Nam was aired every day for literally years.

The modern military recognizes the need for PR. Abu Ghraib was mostly still pictures because it was mostly leaks--press was allowed nowhere near the place. Contrast this with videos of Hussein's statue being pulled down or the "Mission Accomplished" press conference

If you cherry-pick specific instances, sure, there was negative coverage of the Iraq War, but the big picture of Iraq War coverage versus Viet Nam War coverage is very different.

100% built-in nav on the Tesla. Why:

* voice commands for navigation actually work. Recognition is quick and accurate.

* Should you need to type in an address, Tesla treats you like an adult, and lets you do it while the car is moving.

* Map display is fluid and uncluttered
Apple Music is available on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.andr...), so there isn't a hardware dependency for that service. It competes more with Spotify than Google Play Music.
The other countries with well educated young people that could contribute also have falling populations. The nations of Africa (and similar Guatemala, Bolivia, Gaza, Afghanistan) with high illiteracy, high violence, and near zero higher education are the ones that have extra emigrants to offer.

That kind of immigration is the only kind available and it isn't going to help anyone support higher standards of living in the short term.

Right.

Being the 'chaotic good' person that I am, my family stopped trying to view entertainment content the normal legal way many years ago. I've been using a torrent friendly VPS in eastern Europe for quite a few years now to avoid any complications.

That, plus a little web service that presents youtube videos without commercials, gives us pretty reliable access to most anything we ever want to watch. The downside is that it's not setup to be 'live'. It can take a few hours to torrent it and then securely transfer home. But honestly that's kind of a feature.

To be clear, if there was an always works and reasonably priced way to legally view content, we would jump right on it.

But such a thing has yet to exist.

Internal company workloads. Never use SQL Server for something web facing unless you are ready to have your scaling strategy dictated by licensing costs.

I’m a technical recruiter at Shopify (focused on R&D roles), and we work hard to make sure everyone who meets our team feels like they’ve had an opportunity to express their abilities.

Our talent acquisition team is not interested in making hiring decisions for a multi-billion dollar company based on age or whether you want to go clubbing.

We base our hiring decisions on some of these things:
a) impact at previous companies/projects and ability to get shit done
b) complexity of projects you’ve tackled
c) potential for growth
d) domain knowledge/technical expertise for the project we think you would be a match for
e) and yes, values alignment

We value people who have had a big impact in their previous companies or roles, who have been super engaged in past projects, and who can reflect on past experiences to learn what worked, and even more, what didn’t work. These are all positive signals for us and are important to being successful here.

Hopefully this clears some misconceptions up, even if your experience wasn’t great.
Thanks. :)

Not at the moment. Maybe Airbnb in the near future.
Any other suggestions?
I don't know why Google doesn't make any effort to tell users this, but: you can access all of your Google Play video through YouTube. Just search YouTube for the thing you bought, and you should find the full-length legal video marked as "purchased" that you can watch with YouTube's interface, casting and all.

The GPS navigation feature on the new Mazda Connect systems is a $400 SD card that plugs into the dash. That's it.

To be fair, though, this webapp emulates the look & feel of Windows 95 (or greater), which was released in August 1995. Windows 3.1(1) (and NT 3.1 as of July 1993) were the current versions of Windows in 1993; each had far less polished effects: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.1x for screenshot. :)

Chain of command starts with the president. Look to how Moscow has acted multiple times when there were nuclear worries due to faulty equipment. Multiple times they waited until confirmation of a hit. Now thank goodness nuclear weapons haven't been used since multiple parties have had them, but had a strike actually occurred what do you think the response from Moscow would have been? Full military preparedness (obviously), including potential launching of a tit for tat response. But what do they have to gain from launching everything? For all they know some insane general in America launched the thing. If they don't see anything else coming why would they commit suicide by launching everything?

There is no benefit.
Hulu at least makes the decision to agree to those types of restrictions.
Are they serious? It's faster for who exactly? The people who were already standing instead of walking? Why should the people who are walking care, they want to get somewhere faster so they walk, if people want to be lazy and just stand there then they can wait, that's the choice they made. This entire article and the time wasted on it is idiotic.

I find it interesting that Netflix is such a success, despite the availability of many great films.

As the presence of great films on the platform may suggest, it's a long shot to assume that they're more interested in creating their own -great- content than simply offering you great content. But given the unavailability of a single legal platform to rule them all, the bet on original ideas propelled with data and smart marketing was and is still the best one.

IMO, if Netflix had all the content in the world, they would probably stop creating their own.

It seems pretty reasonable. Basically, barring further evidence, all the evidence points to Eris as being a dwarf planet, because objects larger than Pluto almost certainly meet the other criteria.

The IAU is allowing other object to be listed as dwarf planets if it's a very strong likelihood that they are, without having to send a probe to each one.

They then got a refund. Then pirated it.
I look at it as a matter of cost vs. benefits. My wife and I watch a fair amount of stuff on Netflix each month and our family plan is less than $10/month. How anyone can say Netflix does not provide sufficient value doesn't make sense to me.

We also subscribe to Hulu Plus to watch network TV with no commercials. Also a good deal. If we want to watch a new release, I rent it on Google Play Movies. I don't mind using a few different vendors, and competition is good.

What is not a good deal is cable TV. We hardly ever use it and it is relatively expensive.
In my experience, Google Play has just been awful for video. Their App offerings on platforms other than their own are also quite horrid, trying to use Play or Youtube on a Roku is just a nightmare. If their goal is to get you to switch to Android TV, for a better experience, they need to rethink their strategy because it's really just driving me away from their services.

The whole no Amazon Services on Google Hardware and no Google Services on Amazon Hardware does neither of them any benefit and only solidifies Roku's position as the dominant platform because it's the only one that's open.
I think these guys are smart enough to know that people aren't setting up tents despite alternatives. How can it be compassion if what this article says is true; that the measure apparently provides no other kind of relief for them, just criminalizes their existence?
Except in the next paragraph it says there is no provision for any housing in the bill, just removing the tents.

Made the same mistake. "Maybe NSFW" isn't really clear – "makes a request to YouPorn" is probably more fitting.
As I said, simply asking for it will actually reduce your privacy for any service that doesn't comply, by making you more fingerprintable.
"I want to subscribe to one."

But the studios all want you to subscribe to their store. And they don't want to let iTunes have everything, because they want you to go to them first. Or their friends with Ultraviolet.

Studios don't like giving up their iron grip, which is what Apple was doing a good job of doing. :/

I'm also on the list of people that don't want 10 different monthly subscriptions to streaming services, and piracy really does look way more convenient. Especially with things like Popcorn Time.
I'm not sure what you disagree with.
Another sub-aspect of the poor implementation is oppressive DRM and player restrictions.

Netflix and Prime are finally acceptable on Linux thanks to Pipelight but that solution's not for everyone.

If you want a single settop box, you might run PI with XBMC/Kodi but you can't get DRM'ed things on there. So you need a Roku or AppleTV for your DRM, a chromecast for things coming from a PC, and you still need a Kodi for your personal needs.
If Waze came to Car play and android auto I imagine a lot of people would use it. The only navigation I currently use is Waze and I use it every single time I'm driving, even if I do not need directions. The ETA, routing, and the alerts are useful even if you know where you are going.

Because Netflix is focusing on their own content. They are spending money on developing their own shows instead of licensing shows and movies. They are trying to be more like HBO.
In terms of jumping back to Netflix at the "beginning" the streaming library was incredibly shallow. Netflix during the DVD days was another matter. Yet Amazon has been pushing video searches which are available for stream back to DVD/Bluray results ; has anyone else noticed this? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Then don't you think they should encourage everyone to keep moving instead of being lazy and standing there. Escalators, like moving walkways, are designed to move people faster, not for people to just stand there like sheep.
In addition to code/doc contributions, you can donate: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html

The page mentions pypy3's current status as of August 2016: "We are soon releasing a beta supporting Python 3.3. For the next full year, though, see PyPy gets funding from Mozilla for Python 3.5 support. Individual donations through here are still welcome, and go towards the same goal, which is upgrading PyPy to support Python 3.x (which really means 3.3/3.5 by now). Thanks to all our past contributors! Your money has been put to good use so far."
Builtin GPS was pretty much the only requirement I had for the last few cars I got (both VW) and tbh I'm not that disappointed. The only thing really lacking is decent search, once you have an address to input it's mostly ok, but it's true that the temptation to just say "fuck it, I've found it on Maps, let's just use this" is there. If there was an easy way to copy or "stream" the address to the car via bluetooth, I think most people would use it.

It looks like the field is in flux anyway, VW keeps dramatically changing the UI in every new car.
Why does it play the PS1 startup noise?
The good people of my town do this all the time. They campaign to close trailer parks or tear down low-income housing. The excuse is always "nobody should live like that".

But never do they create alternatives. Giving one the cynical feeling that its really all about rich people protecting their property values.
I get blocking it but I have to wonder about departments run like that. Do they really have nothing better to do?
Sourdough breadmaking and all the culture you have to constantly throw away to keep it from metastasizing or getting infected is very informative also.

This is also the case using e.g. Waze via Bluetooth connection to the car.

If you live in a place where new roads are built with any frequency, car GPS's become quickly obsolete.

I also find that a car GPS often requires you to use your smartphone anyway, to look up the address of your destination.
> It wasn't a problem with our Wifi, since Netflix/Youtube and other services worked just fine, it was a problem with Google Play streaming to the Chromecast.

Movies you buy/rent in Google Play Movies are actually available in YouTube as well. There's a section in YouTube called "Purchases." I've used this to stream Google Play Movies purchases on my Fire TV. I would imagine the same would work for an Apple TV since it has the YouTube app.

I know it is a cumbersome workaround, and that a company as big as Google really should have a product that just works, but since you mentioned that YouTube works fine, it is a possible workaround that might save you 35 minutes next time.
Right, that's why I wrote "_a_ linux distro", not "some linux distros". I'm sorry for not making that clearer.

Interesting. That implies that they changed that behavior in less than a month after I opened a ticket, which is actually very nice to read.

Tried it on Pre-M and M, it worked correctly on M ("Wants to access your contacts" -> Denying didn't harm the app). For Pre-M it was as I described above: Opt-out (and worse, they have/had no way to remove contacts, at all) instead of opt-in.

Or just want that "computer, make me tea!" Star Trek experience. The frustration of getting it to work can easily be discounted by this guy's will just to make this thing work because the end result is awesome. I'd have gone through the same headache just for the delight of being able to say "Computer, make tea." and the computer making it so. Also, being able to do the same when guests come over just to show it off would have been worth every second of the aggravation it took to get it working - "Look what I did!" :D
I think it's a great illustration of the difference between "open source" and "free software." In this case the source is still openly published, but under certain circumstances you're no longer free to redistribute.
I agree. It's a ridiculously antiquated model that appeals to and/or traps "old people" (in the not-tech-savvy sense). It will disappear.

I use my in-dash GPS to gauge distances on big trips. If I really need to know where I'm going, I use my phone.
