If you take a look back, Steve Ballmer was responsible for a lot of the success of Microsoft. He mostly got hate because people hated Microsoft. I'm don't think Ballmer's list of accomplishments at Microsoft is fully appreciated particularly compared to the good press Tim Cook as enjoyed.

What kind of audience is this being written for? What kind of position is it being written from? Is the paper a proposal that you're sending to a lab facility? Or is it a report/summary for a high school teacher?

You can probably write about something in neural nets or deep learning that would fit anything.
That is actually the most effective way of scrubbing CO2. The problem is that trees take up a lot of valuable real estate.
Ahh, exactly. I think this kind of thing is quite dangerous. When people become afraid to say what they think and/or get berated when they do, it's a very dangerous climate. For any side. All of the sudden people start to believe something they actually don't believe in because of this stigma. The current state of the media is the worst. Do I know how to fix it....I wish. We live in a world of headlines...And it's too easy to put almost any information you want to appeal to your viewer base, despite how inaccurate it may be. Tough problem.

I saw a great "life pro tip" recently: If the News it telling you how to feel, it's not news. Always remember that.
Well, I'm going to be honest here, I don't give two shits about Azure. Not only because I don't use that (I don't run any system, etc) but because there are dozens of providers.

Unfortunately Windows is one of a kind, so if he ruins it (and 10 is definitely a step back from 8.1, from what I've seen) he's ruined something really important for some of us, something with no known replacement. (No, OS X and Linux don't count, because they don't run the Win32 API)
Just stop growing is the solution itself.

"Post Apple, Ireland's new tax structures are the most competitive in the world.... For more information call Ireland's Embassies."

Yupp, that is an official site advertising the virtues of Ireland the tax haven.

(1) Get hammered by the EU for poo pooing the union by offering sweetheart tax deals to internationals while completely disregarding the tax interests of fellow union members.

(2) Publicly atone for some past sins and abolish some of the more egregious offences (e.g. double irish sandwich). And promise to not do these kind of shenanigans again.

(3) Go creative and create a whole slew of new "tax optimization" vehicle and aggressively market those.

Oh Ireland...
I'm not sure what SWAG means but WSJ clearly doesn't want news aggregator visitors to view their articles for free. So the complaints should be directed at the WSJ, not the news aggregator.

I don't have a solution I'm just saying it's WSJ's fault here, not HN.
I said cost competitive, not that they are cheaper by the last cent today. Onshore wind is cheaper, solar currently in the same ballpark. But the cost of Hinkley is going to raise during its life time, which solar keeps getting cheaper. And is the long time storage cost of the waste and the dismantling of the plant already priced into the cost of Hinkley?
There is a massive "but" at the end of that.

For example: most grids in the western world rely on constant/predictable supplies of power.

Nuclear/coal/gas/hydro provide a constant level of electricity with a clear spinup/spindown time.

That being said, in hot countries solar is a good option, as when its hot, its generally sunny which means the aircon demand can be serviced well.

But, thats assuming that the sun and the wind are constant.

They are not, so you have to store that energy somehow. Grid scale batteries are just not really feasible yet, unless you happen to live in wales[1] or scotland[2].

However they now are only really there to overcome British tea breaks(thats a bit unfair). But they are the product of a nationalised energy infrastructure that thought about doing things properly. (now its just be massive diesel gennies to deal with the comedically narrow line between blackout and working grid)

So actually the problem of generating electricity from natural sources is pretty much solved (barring costs) The biggest barrier is storing electricty for a stable grid.

The single useful thing the article could have presented was how or why Cook's/Apple's efforts at AI products will fail while Google's will succeed; how Apple's AI products will be the Windows Phone of Cook's tenure (or, for that matter, how Windows Phone failed or could have been done differently). Without explaining how apparently similar efforts will yield different outcomes, this is all jazz-hands about CEO personalities and Fortune buzzwords.

As I said, it wasn't her fault: She took much of the blame for many of Reddit's policies that users were unhappy about. Some of these policies were more-or-less good, like banning overtly hateful subreddits (fatpeoplehate, and so one), and some of them were really bad (omnipresent shadowbans, and totally ignoring the needs of mods, which had been loudly voiced, culminating in the AMA debacle, which caused the famous "Reddit Revolt", as the mods decided that they'd had enough). They probably weren't all her fault, but she took the blame. And if you already blame her, I can understand where the hatred might come from, justified or no.
> Sure maybe cutting emissions can be cheaper than scrubbing - but the article says the CO2 levels are already too high

Ah, I see what you mean. It's a bit like national debt and deficit I suppose. At the moment, debt is high, and the deficit is high. CO2 abatement measures can reduce the deficit, but not the debt. You'd need CO2 scrubbing to actually push the deficit into surplus, and reduce the debt, rather than just stabilize it.

In an ideal world, you're right that we want to be getting the total concentration down, not just stabilizing it by reducing the rate of increase. But I think that stabilization would be such a major challenge for the foreseeable future that we should be looking to that first. Prioritizing more expensive ways of trying to reduce the total concentration in 30-50 years, over cheaper ways of stabilizing the concentration right now would, in my opinion, be making the perfect the enemy of the good.

Also, I'm not sure stabilization at 450 or 500 ppm (equivalent to 2-3C warming) would be that bad, what we're trying to do is avoid the definitively atrocious outcome of warming above the 2-3C range.
I've been concerned about the security of IoT devices for a while as the low cost devices generally do have security as an after-thought.

However, these being used for a DDoS attack puts a spotlight on the issue. While I don't know the solution, I feel it will become harder for manufacturers to shrug this off.
You can't have trade without some kind of assumptions/rules of the game.

Left-wing criticisms of the ACA are that it should've had a public option (or single payer) - which may get some momentum with ongoing premium hikes.

The right-wing hysteria part is the (false) idea that premiums didn't go up like this pre-Obamacare, as well as the idea that "roll it back" is a tenable solution.
> EU countries are as a rule quite far ahead on the curve of progress, see: abortion

EU (esp. Scandinavia) has much, much more tight regulations of abortion, compared to English world, esp. Canada, which has none. As a socially conservative I consider this good.
I do consulting for a big company and am a bit like you.

Jump between Java, .NET and C++, backend and frontend (both native and web) depending on the project.

Also since I majored in systems programming, I tend to dabble in other languages.

On my personal experience and those on my circle of friends, some specialization is required to keep being marketable.

Switching among technology stacks inside the company is relativity easy, as it is only a matter of being available when the right project is looking for new devs.

Outside on the job market, agencies and HR departments tend to focus on the last couple of projects, so if they aren't the key technologies that are looking for, it is very hard to convince them that we also have knowledge in the specific area.

In any case, just the size of standard libraries for modern languages, make it almost impossible to know everything.

Let alone the third party tooling and most relevant libraries outside the standard.
Unless we're talking about physical cash under a mattress, "stored" dollars in banking are put to use through loans and investments.
As a side note, I have been thinking of Yishan-style CEOs for a while now. This is part of why I am thinking of changing anti-discrimination and wrongful termination laws. I suggest a compromise to only include certain kinds of jobs like manual labor under employment anti-discrimination laws, where workers are actually commodities that are measureable and interchangeable.
If it is, that's a good thing: if you want drama, just sub to the subs that have the drama.

Anyways, reddit doesn't have to protect your free speech, and they never did. I'm just glad that they'll stop pretending that they will, which is what bothered me: state the rules on your door, and make sure that they're enforced.
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm sorry to hear about the issues. We will continue to iterate and improve upon the design of GitLab based on feedback, and I hope we will address your concerns.
Currently my favourite time wasters are learning channels on youtube. Especially not the "weird" ones like VSauce because I think those are pretty unwatchable. I like SciShow / SciShow space even though that's borderline weird :)

Also PBS Space Time, MinutePhysics, MinuteEarth.

I applaud this but I think if its just a large list of alternatives, it actually encourages people to try UpWork because the sites are indistinguishable in a list.

Best to add:

1. How many people are on this site?

2. Does it specialize in something?

It would be even better to have some proxy of quality (eg. 3. average hourly rate or something), but that is a lot more work.
As the election approaches, many more ordinary people start paying attention to politics. In the year before an election, political forums are filled with die-hard supporters of candidates that inspire the most passion; now, the vast contingent of people who prefer Hillary have entered the discussion.
Because the core of this testing app induces the flaw, while other apps merely detect the presence of their respective flaws. You don't get to trigger the actual exploit.
It is intended to make you think about why an execution is different.

For starters, if we accept state sanctioned killings, then any argument that a life is inviolable goes out the window. With capital punishment, the state is saying that taking lives can be acceptable.

> Humanity has been distinguishing between "murder" and "killing" for millennia

Yes, and a major distinguishing factor has tended to be premeditation and intent. An execution is of a nature that would fit in the worst category of murder if it wasn't for the fact that it was ordered by the state.

An execution has all the hallmarks of something that would tick every possible mark of a particularly heinous murder otherwise. Yet even when we know that innocent people get executed too, it is tolerated when carried out by a state.
The vast majority of the CO2 is produced by only a small part of the population (the rich people in the west), and they aren't the ones whose population is growing.

Drupal (and WordPress, if I recall correctly) invalidate immediately. Considering reset links are sent in plain text by email, it's a good way to test whether the link has been used by someone else.

Besides, it would be an odd security hazard if browsers/webmails preloaded links in emails (malicious URLs in spam/scams).

edit: in Drupal, the reset link loads a page with a button that the user must click on. This avoids issues with potential preload or anti-virus scans.
Applies to Pichai at Google too.

They've steadily eroded checks and balances until they have essentially no checks now.

Presidents now wage war without Congress' help. Fire nuclear missiles. Enrage world opinion through careless remarks and insults, through instantaneous media (radio, tv, internet). Call out the National Guard. Declare martial law. Enforce or fail to enforce laws selectively. Appoint Federal judges exclusively by emergency appointment between sessions (started with Bush).

That's a lot of scary stuff.

I've been saying for a while that the health care system is the biggest impediment to entrepreneurship in the US. Not only does it make it difficult to start a company, it makes it difficult to work for startups and small businesses. Employer-provided health insurance is an incredibly strong bias in favor of large corporations (that have dedicated HR and can negotiate rates and self-insure).
> As I sit here writing and calculating this I have this question in the back of my mind - Is it worth it?

Well, it's insurance. It's there so if you have twins in the NICU for two months because they were born in the second trimester (like I did) you don't wind up with a multi-million dollar bill to pay. Most people will incur more premiums than benefits. That's normal.
In the short term. Such a strategy, if proven, would be devastating to China.
That Chinese firm is actually now fighting back against the allegations and threatening lawsuits against those alleging their fault here, see https://ipvm.com/reports/xiongmai-threaten
No, solar is about 100€/MWh without subsidies. Indeed, the one big problem remaining with wind and solar is constant supply over the day. But the larger the connected grids are, the better this balances out. While a nuclear power plant delivers a constant output 24/7 (this is also not ideal as we are lacking consumption in the late evening and night, thats why Belgium put lights onto their highways), nuclear power plants regularly get pulled of the grid entirely, if there is a technical problem. A new one should of course have less downtimes than an older one, but one needs to plan in a certain amount of replacement capacity.
My point exactly. Split it into a dozen causes, they all fall down the list to 10th or 12th place.
Socially irresponsible to allow Subreddits such as "Fat People Hate" in my opinion.

People have these views and they are free to express them, but creating a community dedicated to it normalises that behaviour and helps breed further hatred.

Under 18 age group seems to be large on Reddit as well [1]. Allowing subreddits such as FPH is really unhealthy amongst the more impressionable.

Windows 10 defaults to distributing updates peer to peer. It has been a reason for outrage among those inclined to be outraged over Windows 10 and/or Microsoft.
Berkshire Hathaway is more involved and hands on than mutual funds. They don't really micromanage, but they do at least a little bit of basic management.
...Which is the problem: It's really hard to actually turn a profit on that model, much less to take responsibility for millions of users. The usenet approach was pretty much, "as long as it isn't illegal, do what you will: the local mods are the ones who make the rules." (yes, that wasn't the whole story, but close enough). Reddit's actually trying to clean up their community, and censor outright hatespeech. You may or may not think it's a good idea to do, but it's actually quite difficult.
Hinkley point is an aberration. its doesn't make any buisness or strategic sense for the UK.

Its double the cost of grid power, in perpetuity, in exchange for some vague handwaving that the Chinese might try out some of their experimental reactors on british soil. Or perhaps a "free trade deal" which is equally moronic for UK manufacturing.

Garbage in, garbage out. No need for anyone to lie.

Take for example the most recent Rasmussen showing Trump winning by 2%. To quote rasmussenreports.com:

"Typically, calls are placed from 5 pm to 9 pm local time during the week."

"After the surveys are completed, the raw data is processed through a weighting program to ensure that the sample reflects the overall population in terms of age, race, gender, political party, and other factors. The processing step is required because different segments of the population answer the phone in different ways. For example, women answer the phone more than men, older people are home more and answer more than younger people, and rural residents typically answer the phone more frequently than urban residents."

Seriously, who answers spam calls at home between 5pm and 9pm? Anyone here? At all? rasmussen and all other poll operators keep their transfer function secret. Its entirely possible their transfer function bears no relationship with who it actually going to show up and vote in November.

Lets pick on a semi-public transfer function from IDB. Their poll shows a dead tie Trump and Clinton both exactly 41%. However check the fine print about their transfer function "Party identification breakdown: (Unweighted) 261 Democrats/261 Republicans/275 Independents; (Weighted) 291/235/271."

Seriously, they believe 23% of republicans are going to stay home on voting day? Seriously? I mean when I was a kid, even Pravda would have been embarrassed to publish something like that. Obviously the editorial board saw a Trump win in the results and ordered the Republican weighting decreased until the printable result was a tie at worst.

Pew claimed in 2015 "When the partisan leanings of independents are taken into account, 48% either identify as Democrats or lean Democratic; 39% identify as Republicans or lean Republican. The gap in leaned party affiliation has held fairly steady since 2009, when Democrats held a 13-point advantage (50% to 37%)." So Pew implies the IDB transfer function should be wildly different, something like 48%/39%/13% than what they actually used to "surprisingly" provide a predetermined result.

Note that for the actual vote in November, plus or minus the usual dead people always voting democratic, the transfer function is very close to 1:1. My vote is counted as one vote, not some weird fractional part of a vote depending on my race or whatever the polling companies are doing.

Well, if you're going to apply Occam's Razor, given that as a matter of fact most people don't give a shit about security or privacy, it's actually not in Apple's best interest to make this stand, at least when speaking short term, as it is negating them future revenue opportunities.

And they aren't doing it only in their press releases, but in their products as well. I'd enumerate features of iOS or OS X that have been very well thought out in this regard, but that would make for a blog post.
