Some notes from developer perspective:

- The car model probably had the first iteration of Garmin satnav solution for in-dash car infotainment systems. Garmin's architecture was basically built for PNDs(dedicated device) based of their own internal custom OS. This was quickly ported to support in dash infotainment market. I am sure consequent releases got better in performance and usage.

- Garmin solution is optimized to perform well based on available resources. SD card read writes, low memory requirements, and other resource restrictions are accountable for the slow performance as well.

I am not trying to defend but just want to share the challenges that Garmin faced while they tried to gain market share. I am confident that their solutions will get better with time and deliver better user experience and innovation in the car.

But don't they update DNS so that the origin for the (presumably sub) domain is now pointing at your localhost? Perhaps the solution is to track the DNS state. Any external to localhost changes should be blocked. And any communication between parent/sub domains should never cross the localhost boundary no matter what DNS might say.

Of course this would interfere with development so it would need to be something you could toggle. But I'm 100% sure there's something I haven't thought of that depends on this behavior.
For the record, you think Obama was being "loud, aggressive, or indignant"?
What I mean is that you, the developer, don't need to write any JavaScript to implement your general web application.

I think this is obvious if you read the docs, which I encourage you to do:

Examining Windows 10 Anniversary Update's Driver Signing Enforcesment Policy
What you describe certainly happens and is probably the most common scenario. Many times there is no malice, just some very worldly constraints that result in undesired consequences.

However, rising through the ranks of social structures is facilitated by machiavellianism and this results in an over representation of the kind of people I was talking about the higher up you go. It's a numbers game.

This isn't even very controversial and academics studying psychopathy will even acknowledge it.
We share model validation, internationalisation functions / string parsing and formatting values (language strings, datetime formats, currencies, etc), access rules, configuration settings, views and constants at least.. I've also had a few situations where we've moved client side code to the server, and not having to rewrite from scratch is nice.

None of these are huge issues to solve with a separate language on the server. But for our projects it's been a time saver.

Barack Obama couldn't figure out how to take a selfie with Bear Grylls with an iPhone, but people are going to listen to his prognostications on AI? WTF!
I don't understand your comparison. iCloud is only $0.99 for the 50GB option. I have over 300GB (and growing) worth of pictures and videos that I've been collecting since my first kid was born 6 years ago. It would be $9.99 on iCloud just as it is on Dropbox. Even cheaper on Dropbox, actually, because I buy by the year (and full disclosure, I get 2TB for the price of 1TB because I'm a long term customer, but I only use about half a TB overall so it's no difference to me).

Aside from the price, Dropbox just works. Android, iPhone, my Macbook Pros, my wife's Windows 10 laptop -- no problems, it just does what we expect it to.

I've looked at other solutions, even signed up for the trial of OneDrive (got burned on their filename length limit, oddly enough), and decided Dropbox works well enough to keep. I reevaluate every year and I'm perfectly willing to move when someone comes along that is conclusively better. They all match each other pretty quickly on pricing, so it's reliability (first) and features (second) that get my wallet to open.
Figure 15 with heat map of hate speech per post puts India, Pakistan, Thailand, Belarus, Zimbabwe, and South Korea as the leaders of the pack. In my limited experience on /pol, this paints a very misleading picture. I hardly ever see people from these countries posting there. (See Figure 4.) They can't just leave the figure as-is, without further explanation.

The posters on 4chan (see dogma1138's post) are as surprised as I am that India features at all. To the contrary, India is commonly the target of scatological jokes.

Although they acknowledge the use of VPN, they might be downplaying its usage. Without making an effort to disambiguate that (with assistance from 4chan admins) I don't see the point of making charts based on countries. If not disambiguate, discarding posts by Tor and VPN users is easy enough.

I can't help but agree with the poster who wrote:

I do not know a lot about the technology, but I remember reading that the hyperloop is not a full vacuum, just a lower pressure environment. That alone means all these videos are bunk themselves.
Technical Credit
I think you've hit the nail on the head at the end with "right tone at the right time" - the right time is almost certainly not when one has screwed up.
While Java devs are fighting with the eclipse issue of the day, generating wsdls, deploying wars, making annotated glorified structs for typed json/xml/both (except in some cases when they just go with a Map<Map<....,String>,String>), and so forth, those other dynamic languages get out of the developer's way and let them solve their problem with less fuss.

Java's not a terrible option. But it's rarely the best option, especially for Right Now, though it may become the best option later when enough competing concerns have cropped up.
I disagree. I work for a big company with a big product that shouldn't have a single minute of downtime. We let new devs deploy to production from day 1. We have ways of mitigating the risks, like a very sophisticated monitoring and the ability to rollback changes in seconds. Yes we sometimes have outages, and we lose money. But in our experience, empowering developers is much more effective than handcuffing them. They learn to be careful and freedom allows for creativity to flourish resulting in amazing solutions.
Which they will be if they have a competitive technology that has a migration path for both x86 ISA and about everything else dominating in acceleration space. Intel might respond by supporting it or deploying their own thing. They're sure to loose market share, though, if the coalition's standardization commoditizes accelerators more than Intel's side does. They could loose some profit margin in the niche along with the market share.
The point isn't to detach the parties from the candidates, it's to make it so that party infighting is not the strongest path to the ballot. At the moment, winning a party knife fight is the thing that decides lots of local and state office elections.

For the presidential election there would be more risk of pushing the election to the House of Representatives, but candidates could bargain with each other and withdraw and such. People would be able to figure it out.

Actually, 8chan had webm embeds before 4chan (and with a higher size limit). They were first AFAIK, but maybe some smaller chan did it sooner.
This is the only fascinating aspect of the whole thing IMO. If one technique can be used to manipulate HFT algorithms to this degree, there have to be others that aren't illegal. If they are this simple to manipulate, you could make a fortune.
"especially when you need to make sure that 30+ year-old code still work like it's the case in HPC"

Most code that works on Intel works on AMD. It's rare that it doesn't. The HPC vendor will have low risk on migration + get a bunch of competing accelerators at various price points for their problem. This is quite an incentive to move even if there would be stragglers.

Same here, plenty of areas with a bus factor of one. Even worse, one of the critical persons is over 70 - incredibly sharp, healthy and keeps up to date, I hope to reach her age with those skills, but her age makes a health problem more likely.

That said, her irreplaceability is more due to stupid security setup (she's the only one that has all the necessary privileges), so I guess she could be replaced eventually after some hiccups (and at a big hit to productivity).
Err, again, the people involved, on their own, buy enough chips to have a completely self supporting ecosystem.

I disagree. As a long time paying Dropbox customer, I reevaluate each year, including copying all my data over to a competing provider to see how it shakes out. For all the big providers it's drag and drop. So far what keeps me coming back to Dropbox is that the other solutions have sync reliability issues on one or more of the platforms I use (we're a diverse family, with everything from a Linux server to OSX to Windows 10 to Android and iOS mobile devices sharing the same Dropbox account).
This does indeed looks like a modern version of theosophic explanation of why the world exists. The only difference is, previously people were convinced that gods were everywhere and so there must have been one who created our world; and now we, surrounded by computers in all their shapes and forms, are getting suspicious as to what if... You know.

You could program any algorithm as a set of logic gates in hardware. Hardware can run completely in parallel so this allows insane performance gains for some tasks. FPGA are very close to ASIC (regular chips, like the CPU itself) in their performance, but are completely re-programmable. Some FPGAs I believe can be even re-programmed on the fly by the FPGA itself.

I guess my issue is not faulting intellectual curiosity in general, but directed curiosity at something with so many existentially negative results.
A beautiful poem. But who says that the "creators" couldn't be evil, or amoral, or just have different ethics/morals than humans, or who don't think in terms of ethics/morals?

Also, while a human mind might marvel at some level of complexity, there's no reason why a superhuman mind would have to. I mean, imagine a "brain the size of a planet" (like Marvin's in The Hitchhiker's Guide), or one the size of a star, or larger. What could their limits be?

Now imagine a mind not bound by the laws of physics as we know them -- for if they're "outside" the simulation of the universe as we know it, they'd not necessarily be limited by its physical laws. Really, at that point it's anything goes.

Finally, consider that you, or any given human, or all of them, could simply be mistaken about what they think or observe. Just given that potential for error, anything could be possible.
I don't see how Salesforce could get much value out of Twitter. They could get it out of LinkedIn (sales people use LinkedIn sales navigator a lot), but likely not at the price Microsoft has paid for LinkedIn.

Journalists can also be awful and distort basic facts (sometimes it's even not deliberate, just lazy). Seeing something newsworthy in person and then reading the news reports is eye-opening.
Nothing can be concluded from this data as is. It's by usage on their platform.

A totally different way to read this would be Dropbox needs the most help from 3rd parties. Another would be that Dropbox is the platform that people build for the most.
I'm struggling to understand why. It has a very poor business model, security issues and the storage for the price just doesn't add up. Google Drive or iCloud are far easier to set up, cheaper, and has oodles more space.
That 6% pop for Salesforce is hilarious.
There is a perhaps apocryphal story about the time when Mizuho Securities lost ~$225 million by attempting to sell 610k shares at 1 yen instead of 1 share at 610k yen.

No, as the table fills up, you start to get clashes, where two keys hash to the same value. There are various ways to handle that - rehashing and trying again, linked lists - all of which take you below O(1). See [1].

I recently tried disabling Resharper, after many years of use, figuring that Roslyn and the other improvements in VS made it unnecessary. And they mostly do, but there are a couple sticking points. Opening a file with Ctrl+, is very slow: often one character per second or worse. Sometimes the dialog box crashes, and occasionally Ctrl+, crashes VS entirely. Meanwhile the equivalent shortcut in Resharper (Ctrl+Shift+T) always worked flawlessly.

So it still seems like there's a lot of progress to be made here. If anyone on that perf opt team is reading this, please take a look at Ctrl+, - it's ridiculous that Resharper's identical command works so much better.
I see the distinction you're making (I think), but I still don't see how that invalidates GP's analogy. Surely "running" a wavefunction is computationally cheaper than re-evaluating the particle's characteristics at every universal frame. Perhaps it's not so much about our own "watching" but rather "do not calculate when irrelevant". My own analogy might be an online map frame like google maps, where tiles outside the viewing box are not loaded. This is because we can tell what needs to be calculated by the bounding box of the viewer without needing all the other finer details. I see it more as a lazy eval.

There are some benefits to a cashless financial system. But let's remember that cash is a curse for those who want to track, and therefore be able to control, all transactions.
But evolution would be part of the process. The programmer (or god) just sets the thing in motion. From an evolutionary biology perspective, evolution might be the main deal, the whole point of the simulation. It would make some sense, to create processes, systems and structures that no being could ever come up with.

As far as I know, there are some creationists that believe something along these lines already. Dawkins used to call it smuggling God in the back door.

As an old fart myself, and meaning absolutely no disrespect to anyone, I don't generally think of small startup CTOs when I hear the term CTO. I think of medium+ corporations where the CTO is at the top of significantly larger personnel structure than a company with 10-50 people. In my experience a CTO position at a small company is much more comparable to a mid-level manager or director slot at a larger organization.

Again, not intending to disrepect anyone, but that was my impression when reading this article -- I didn't feel like I was really listening to what my idea of a CTO is.
7 Common Content Marketing Mistakes That You Might Be Making

That's true. Normally one would ask which party he's trying to endear himself to with a third-party run (usually a big no-no), but it's pretty obvious that there's a large percentage of mainstream Republicans who'd prefer an HRC win to a Trump win (probably because a Trump win would solidify the new direction of the party in a way those people are not happy about). McMullin's role in denying the Trump win, which may actually end up being significant if states in the Mormon Corridor (including AZ) go blue, would bode well for his career as a Republican in future elections (as long as Trump loses).

How does this effect energy transfer? This is the metric I assume most people care about as it is typically much faster than an electron can move.
There's no such thing as unbiased news, especially international news. Not even Reuters or AP manage to be un-biased. Biases flow in like thin air from cracks without the journalist even noticing, because of framing[1].

You have to understand that for a news story to be unbiased you have to report just the fact, e.g. "Bombing in Alepo, 13 dead". However, that's not even considered reporting for most people, since they lack the context: Where is Alepo, why is important, who bombed them? The moment you put context on a reality that is so complex, you're starting to putting upfront your biases. Even referencing a US-based institution vs a Chinese or Russian based institution is a form of rather strong bias.

So since everyone is biased what we can do to reach a balanced compromised is the following:

* Make sure we understand where the author comes from[2].

* Accept the fact that we don't know, hence remain open to other possibilities/interpretation

* Try (and you have to try hard...) to look for the truth. Most of us, read the publications that are ideologically aligned with our beliefs. That doesn't help much, as we already know the strong arguments for our case.

Some high quality publications in my view are:

* The New York Times
* The Atlantic
* The New Yorker

[1] In the social sciences, framing comprises a set of concepts and theoretical perspectives on how individuals, groups, and societies, organize, perceive, and communicate about reality, URL: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Framing_(social_sciences)

[2] I still remember the WSJ presenting the saviour of miners in South American as a win of capitalism while it was, by all means, the exact opposite. It was companies-do-what-they-do who put them in that situation, plus all the tech that powered the machines that saved them, were founded by public research.
I love these 'rumors' and using terms like 'walked away' juxtaposed against one another.

Wouldn't it be beneficial to start all sorts of rumors about big players wanting to buy Twitter and then when every single one of them says they're in fact not interested, the value plunges and the actual interested buyer can pick them up on the cheap? Is this legal, provided no insider info was used? Doesn't this happen all the time?
But to what end? Bigger and better probes? Finer and finer data points?

My underlying point is that we have enough data to start making attempts at settling Mars, and once we're there, we'll do more science and exploration than any existing robot can. If you doubt that, then show me a robot that can perform an archeological dig on a fossil site without destroying half of the fossils.
But what if consciousness itself is simulated. The problem here is that a simulation would have to adhere to a set of programmatic rules meaning that the only way consciousness could arise as we like to think we know it, is via some weird unintended side effect.
