They (OWS) were recently subpoena'd for someone's data and all they could provide where rough timestamps when that user registered and when they last contacted the servers. Unless you think they're lying in response to a subpoena (which would be very serious from a legal perspective), then they really don't store that data.

Of course it would be nice if we didn't have to trust them that this won't change in the future (whether through a court order or their decision doesn't really matter).
This is great, nice job! I'm working on a midi player in JavaScript; it would be interesting to use this as the sound font. Maybe assigning certain words to certain pitches. https://github.com/grimmdude/MidiPlayerJS
We're actually talking to everyone you mentioned. I'd love to see some "on-premise" Serverless infrastructure as well, the biggest issue with that is still the event system as a Serverless infrastructure really mostly makes sense if you can do things like "when you upload something to this bucket run this function". This is hard to replicate in an on-premise system.

Reverse scrolling? It's an option on the touchpad / mouse settings to scroll naturally/unnaturally isn't it?

Going to sleep - it's under power options in Settings.

Also writing to NTFS is not a problem they care about. When's the last time you wrote to ext4 or HFS+ on Windows natively without extra tools?

It's exactly the same here - they support HFS, HFS+ and FAT32 and VFAT. Windows supports NTFS and FAT32 and VFAT. Do we get upset with Microsoft because they don't support HFS+?

I highly recommend using something like fan.tv (I don't know of any competitors, but I assume they exist) for finding where content is available. It looks like it doesn't include Google Play, but shows that Goat is available on Amazon and Vudu, and makes it easy to compare prices.

There're probably other services it doesn't support (which limits its usefulness), but I've been using it for years.
Depends on what you are looking for and how much work you want to do. Booking.com is one of the easiest because you can simply refer to their "booking" page for purchase. With others you would likely need to have your own purchase page (http://rentalsunited.com/ for example...you'd want to get set up as a Channel Partner).
I did just that same thing for a client. They were using React to make 1 AJAX request to Foursquare. The thousands of lines of code turned into 22 lines of vanilla Javascript. I was shocked.
While I see the point you're trying to make, your math assumes widgets last exactly 1 year, which is generally not the case with most goods, except those produced for immediate consumption and maintenance e.g. food, gasoline, hygiene and health products.

Also, the basic math can be so vastly different in reality, that there will be huge leeway in terms of how many people can retire.
Your reference to shoplifting is so knee jerk and tired it fails to even apply to this instance

If you read it again you'll see the person paid for the product and then the product they paid for was kept from them

Same thing happened to me, I tried to rent a film on touyube but the stream consistently erred after 2s of low quality viewing.. what really bugged me was I could watch any trending video on the free service without issue on any quality setting but the movie I paid for lacked the same supply attention and was buggy for the entire rental window

Who's going to go after googs for the 6$ I spent trying to watch a movie but an error on touyube stopped me from having the access I paid for?

How is it high ground to withhold sympathy when it is a mega corps stealing from a user?
I use the built in GPS, and I use it even for my daily commute. The biggest factors for me are that it uses google maps, it is traffic aware, and the screen is large enough to show detailed traffic for the route.

The UI just got a refresh with version 8.0 and it is now even easier to use. With a single swipe I can navigate to home or work (it is location and time aware, so it will navigate me to the right destination automatically), and the navigation now sticks to the top half of the screen when I have two apps open. I tend to leave the nav in fullscreen mode though since I like to see more of my route.

Its critical for long distance trips because it will also navigate you through superchargers automatically as needed, and will tell you how long you will need to charge at each, along with an estimate of your trip time. I have taken a lot of long trips since getting the Tesla so this has been invaluable.

Supposedly the next update will use the navigation to guide the autopilot (it will take exit ramps between highways automatically).
I'm not sure this link is very relevant unless you're trying to posit that popularity ~= quality in some way?

that is impossible today only because people now a days don't have wisdom. Only a small minority has the ability to see through the bullshit unimportant noise we are constantly bombarded with. In CS terms, only true data has value and is therefore knowledge. Other data is just noise and is of no value.
To repeat: The NULL pointer is not the locus of the bug, and this was explained by the detailed discussion from the headlined article. The NULL pointer for the array base is passed to copyin() and copyout() without incident, and those are its only uses by poll().
Interesting, I hope they do in-depth study. I wonder how they'd deal with this issue from that article.

"But what is also obvious is that it can be very difficult to untangle mom and dad’s contributions because they tend to track together in age. Older dads tend to have children with older moms."

Under which area does Apple have a monopoly? Mac market share is tiny.
As a developer, using Windows for anything that isn't Visual Studio related can be kind of painful compared to Unix-family systems, especially in the open source world.

Getting a decent command line, until very recently, required awkward work-arounds like Cygwin, and a lot of common dev tools tend to feel like second-class citizens. Package/dependency management just wasn't there, though I hear they're starting to fix this.

San Francisco spends $241 million[0] of it's $8.9 billion budget[1] on programs to help the homeless and to help folks avoid becoming homeless (through housing assistance, etc). The 2015 count of homeless people in San Francisco is 7,539[2].

This measure doesn't increase spending on the homeless issue but, honestly, the San Francisco govt has shown the ability to absorb funding increases without noticeable impact in services. This is especially true of homeless services.

My impression is that this measure is born of frustration with the governmental inaction on the homeless problem in SF.

Facebook's patent license doesn't grant you any patents outside the ones used by React.

It does grant them freedom to use any patent you may have (if you use their software).

See the problem? Even if you don't like patents, it makes the playing field totally uneven.
Yeah, but now the streaming services have kombucha (exclusive content)
Rather, it's a smart biz plan. By creating their own content they can provide exclusive access to it. By continuing as they have they risk becoming a commoditized service or even getting locked out of content as other distributors build their own subscription platforms (as they have already built).

I will agree with you however that as a consumer I'd rather have a commoditized subscription service for tv/movies. I suspect however that investors will disagree with us.
So? Nobody has been able to present any credible economic plan for Mars, either, which makes it more like Antarctica (or central Greenland, if you insist on somewhere you can legally move) than Norilsk.
For new projects, my understanding is that Apple is using Apache and not the APSL any longer. Swift for example.

I just looked at XNU and it is still under the APSL. Does anyone know why a company would not want to go back and change the license of a project? Is it that the company doesn't have the copyright but the individual developers? Even if all the developers only worked for the primary company?
Facebook is among the worst for stalking you. For the once a quarter I log into Facebook (mostly for an occasional friendly note to highschool/college friends from 30+ years ago), I use a private session. And I have a plugin that blocks facebook tracking.

Which is really depressing. Toyota make fantastic vehicles but they're being outclassed by others simply because their infotainment system feels like a relic from the early 2000s.

They've also doubled down on their refusal to not include Carplay/Android Auto. They're putting something called "SmartDeviceLink" which is yet another MirrorLink 1.1 clone (which is itself a disaster), but this time controlled by a different consortium of companies.

Although amusingly the other major auto maker putting SmartDeviceLink in their vehicles, Fort, has already given up and put Carplay/Android Auto into their latest Ford SYNC3 infotainment system software. Leaving Toyota the only major company providing SmartDeviceLink.

I legitimately think Toyota will slump in sales when seemingly every other major manufacturer has Carplay/Android Auto. All because Toyota is greedy and wants to profit off of the infotainment unit rather than the vehicle itself.

If its server-side performance you are interested in you might also be interested in uvloop, which brings node's event loop library to async python with impressive results https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/

Personally while I appreciate what PyPy are trying to do, for a lot of real world use cases you can get really impressive performance out of python using the right libraries (see: the entire Python scientific computing stack).
So this attorney's problem is that rather than ambiguously granting a license to the patent claims necessary to implement this software, they decided to explicitly grant such rights? I see no problems.
No, they were unaware that there was an exploding phone, let alone a Samsung exploding phone. It surprised me, as some of them were pretty technically literate.
Not sure about 2016, but the 2012 version of Express did have a SKU that included SSRS. There are some limitations to the version. A looong time ago I wrote a utility[0] to work around some of those limitations as we had the licensed version but we were working with partners who had Express.

There are also some questions/answers on StackOverflow [1] that suggest you can mostly get by with doing SSIS stuff against the Express version as well, but you don't get all the capabilities.

What I don't understand is why we don't try to solve this using a huge fact database derived from natural language parsing of the web. Basically the same approach as deep learning - something that was unfeasible 20 years ago, but due to massive improvements in processing power now works.

What I'm thinking of is basically SHRDLU [1] on steroids. Parse a ton of web pages. There are great natural language parsers that can parse most well-formed English sentences. Start with simple sentences like "Golden delicious is an apple" or "Barack Obama is the President". Then you store this in a Subject-Verb-Object database (I just learned that this is called a Triplestore [2]).

Every statement gets a plausibility value. Deal with ambiguity by adding multiple interpretations of a sentence (with different plausibilites if available). Assign an origin (e.g. website, author, quoted person ...) to each statement. Then, you could query this by asking "What do mice like?"... and it would make "Subject: Mice, Verb: like (enjoy), Object: ???" and return a list of solutions, ordered by plausibility.

Does anybody have any insight into why this isn't done or wouldn't work? It seems wierd that I can't ask my phone simple facts about the world, other than those whose form have been hardcoded.

(Now that I think about it, the opposite would also work. Hardcode a ton more commands. Hire 100 people, let them sift through the most common queries. Watch a few dozen testers, add add all queries they try to use. Instead of throwing computing resources at the problem, this would throw cheap labor at it.)

Anyway, it boggles the mind that I can't shout "OK Google, play 'itsy bity spider' on youtube" when my toddler demands it but won't release my phone :-). It opens a search and shows what I want as the first result (probably customized from my history), but I have to go the last mile myself.

Reality TV is cheap. In a highly fragmented and bundled market it can work. Yet, HBO and other premium services avoid it presumably because willing to watch is different from willing to pay for.

PS: Cheap TV can be compelling. Personally I really liked the primitive technology youtube channel which has 788,764 subscribers and is really cheap to produce 1 guy without any spoken lines. Twitch can also be extremely compelling. However, that's not paying subscribers.
Does make me wonder if that evil bastard genius Steve Jobs was still alive, if he would be able to fix this situation.

I actually think Apple is still doing OK on the technology front, and the Apple TV UI seems to have the right ideas.

But actually negotiating the content licenses is something calling for the full power of the Reality Distortion Field. Like how Jobs was able to convince the music industry to provide all their content because it would be available "just on Macs", or to get AT&T to give full control of the iPhone to Apple, in exchange for an exclusive over Verizon.

What would be the negotiating play to trick (I mean, convince its in their best interest) video content owners to make all their intellectual property available from a single excellent UI?
> Myers-Briggs has a type label then assigns traits based on that label.

False. It's exactly the opposite, the label doesn't assign the traits, rather the traits create the label; if your traits change so does the label, it's nothing more than a description of who you are now according to your own answers to those traits questions. And it aids greatly in think about yourself and others and how people differ and exactly in what ways they can differ.

> It's not clear to me how that's different.

Then learn more.
Ha ha, no way....

Well, now I don't feel so hackish.
Apple has had a long history of being involved in education, with actual support at the district level as well as hefty discounts for schools and college students as well. My university had an Apple section in the bookstore with an attractive pricing list (well, as attractive as a $2,400 Mac could be in the 1980s)

The long-term view was that Apple equipment in schools translated to well trained customers when they hit the real world.
I don't think you are part of a minority. Apple apparently doesn't think that, too.
I think the Netflix content is fantastic - more than enough to pay their pretty cheap monthly streaming price for. And in addition, they have a massive catalog of other content. Who cares how many IMDB top 250 they have. It's similar to an HBO but half the price.

We pay $20/month or so for Netflix and Hulu, plus Amazon comes with prime which I pay for more for the shipping than the streaming. This isn't a lot - compare that to what cable costs. The situation today is better than ever - a bunch of cheap ala cart services that together still add up to way less than cable.
Breakfast: Winter is coming so some oat porridge is nice - porridge takes only the amount of time to boil some water then pour water over the oats for 2-3 minutes, super convenient and super light yet filling. Add milk, condiments, etc.

Lunch: Most often something from a restaurant in the park I'm based in. If time is no issue 1-2 hours shared with a former colleague to catch-up, thoroughly nice and heartwarming; if only 30-60 minutes, the same food and source but take-out and eaten at desk. As I'm in northern China this is predominantly rice or wheat-noodle based. I tend to go for soupy noodles. If traveling and find a place with good bread I pounce on it, but there aren't where I'm usually based.

Afternoon: Some fruit: whatever's looking good and in-season in the local shop in the park or from visiting trucks.

Dinner: Depends on time. Like to do a good cook on the weekend and use some of that for convenience; a lot of comfort food especially bean-inspired,. Just variety from taste to ingredients: mix in a lot of stuff which isn't in a common (northern) Chinese diet (beans, nuts, cheese). If time is easy I'll buy a fish and/or some seafood and steam, stew or fry.

Drink: Water. Have always disliked coffee and never much into tea of any kind. Gin+tonic is good at any time and any place though leads to reduced capacity after consumption.
BTW I must say I am happy with Android as a platform and phone (got a Wileyfox Swift with update ROMs from Cyanogen) but as a developer I find the ping-pong changes tiring. I'm not here just to bash Android.

Not really. This is why I read the post. But the comments aren't discussing the container but the SQL being better or not than something else.

Docker would help my case if it wasn't required to run on Windows Server! This could be an interesting solution if it worked on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

But even then our legacy code would require some changes to be able to communicate with it.

So, psql, mysql, sqlite or no matter what is better in any aspect for our point of view.
Aside from having to reboot to apply some patches and the cost, Windows Server runs fine as a server if you're running an all or mostly MS stack. TBH, some things about Windows Server I like considerably more (e.g. performance counters, the event logging system, PowerShell) than the equivalents on Linux.

I'm surprised the wikipedia page doesn't discuss the technical problems. Accurate guidance proved to be surprisingly hard and the heat of atmospheric re-entry both blocks targeting sensors and also interferes with targeting signals from a ground spotter.Also it turns out terminal velocity for such a device isn't really all that high, relatively speaking. It's also prohibitively expensive. So it sounds good, but isn't really practical. Shame, I was a big Jerry Pournelle fan back in the day.

CarWings on the Nissan Leaf is unusable. Its only advantage is that the map is built in and so doesn't rely on downloading.

You can preload Google Maps onto the iPhone for say Point Reyes. You won't be able to find a route but GPS location and the map should be good enough.

Yes, John's work is seminal, and fair (flow) queuing is essential in cleaning up the bufferbloat mess. Flow queuing has a bigger effect on end user experience than mark/drop algorithms to signal TCP (though that is also needed to keep TCP from losing its mind). I distinguish flow queuing from fair queuing as it has aspects that are not "fair", but the fundamentals are the same.

The recent BBR work at Google is another key to solving bufferbloat.

I finally think we have the tools needed to really solve the problem, between flow queuing and new mark drop agorithms (e.g. Codel, CAKE, PIE, fq_codel, etc.) and BBR.

So again thanks to John for his key work.
