No one doubts that Monsanto is making money of this, but they are really not the only ones Bayer and BASF SE are big even bigger than Monsanto you also have Pioneer (dupont) and quite a few other players which are of a similar size.
You also have China which are doing their own thing probably violating every patent in the world in the process.
Stop forgetting your conclusions
Edge may be fast in benchmarks but in real life it's a buggy mess. Web pages look terrible and "fuzzy". Local testing with visual studio is broken. It works poorly with office 360 and bing maps.

This is just my experience. Only safari comes close to being a big a pain in the ass.
You don't have to be an artist to get mileage out of a stylus.
I really don't agree. The interests of USA citizens would not be served by going to war with Russia over the pretext of hacked emails.
You could have a "reverse DDoS" where archive.org blocks requests from Wikipedia, removing the ability to add Wikipedia citations.
Famous Artworks Ruined by Clients Who Think They Know Better
That's kind of funny you should say that. A book I'm currently reading advocates that our best writers of today's day and age won't be those on the internet that share their work easily but instead hidden away, released to small groups of audiences. One such forum referenced was TOR and Darknet.

Probably a stupid question, but did they specify a reason why you were rejected? Or was it just something vague like 'sorry, but you weren't chosen this year'?

Just wondering, cause something like that might help us understand where they were coming from a bit better.
America's only real alternative to Clinton and Trump
I never see people wearing headsets that place the microphone near the mouth outside of specialized settings, nor do I see people holding the microphone to their mouth. I suspect they generally want to keep their hands free.

I don't think the distance between the speaker and microphone matters. Canceling out the noise you're emitting isn't hard with modern signal processing.
A typo skewed the history of HIV in the US and vilified an innocent man
It's notable that the phone network was built by a government sanctioned monopoly that was permitted to be quite profitable for most of its existence. Pull AT&T annual reports from the 1950s and 1960s and compare them to the financials of Verizon's wireline division today.
StartX seems closest to what they describe.

I believe Stanford also has funds for even earlier stage / younger teams, as well as domain specific programs like the one at the tomkat center for sustainable energy.
You can't buy votes on paper because you need to be alone in the voting booth. You could disable people to vote, but not force them to vote as you want.

As for the value of digital signature, I don't think it's legally equivalent to the physical signature, at least in my country. I've yet to see any administration accepting a digital signature.
The founders took out the last funding round for personal use.

And Groupon has been steadily burning cash-on-hand since then.

It's a very ill business.
I don't see how that is relevant at all. Some pointless, trite warning/threat about crap that I already know.
That's a pretty silly belief. MS failed at running Android apps. They also failed with their attempts to port iOS apps to their platform. In fact, all of those "bridges" have been burnt to the ground.

One more thing, Microsoft will never be able to use the Google Play store unless they make an Android device that passes all of Google's requirements.
I didn't see preprod reviews. I'll dig for it.
>the next group that will build a canal will insist on doing it their way.

If only every business was identical! Then we wouldn't have to deal with the problem of creating custom software for each of them.

In this canal-across-the-country analogy: imagine that every boat is a different size, different shape, different propulsion method, and is made of different materials. And some of them are actually trucks, airplanes, and vacuum tunnels.

>Then just build the biggest canal that satisfies every requirement!

This exists! It's called IBM.
That part isn't. Not so much because we care about it being closed source (a bit), but more because there's little to no value in it being open sourced.
>Asked about its actions, the agency told Reuters on Tuesday it was seeking to protect its work from external interference and defending its panels' freedom to debate evidence openly and critically.

Its the same idiotic rationale put forth by the FED and every other corrupt organization that wants to hide corruption, crime, and malfeasance. Even in cases where there are "legitimate" concerns about the sensitivity of released information (which isn't the case with the WHO), those concerns always pale in comparison to the benefits of transparency. Nobody should accept this sort of behavior from any organization that accepts any public funding or has influence over any public policy.

The Republican elites like Paul Ryan and Wall Street Financier Paul Singer as well as others hate Trump because he is against illegal immigration. He is against trade pacts. Both of these displace American workers. Most of the Republican candidates wanted to grant some form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Of all the Republican candidates, only Trump complained when Carrier air conditioners closed an Indiana factory transferring jobs to Mexico (Sanders also complained, but not Clinton).

The truth is that the Republican elites did not care about the working class, Trump responds to their suffering. Many of the Republican elites could care less about voters -- they though they could win the Republican candidacy with money. Jeb Bush wasted $130 million, at least in part because he was responding to donor needs and not voter needs.
You are describing only the first big in this document. There are four. The timeline we're commenting on is for the last 3, which are not UAFs.
Just a theory. I wonder if this is a deliberate flooding of the bitcoin network with transactions for the purpose of bogging it down. Many people would be using the fee that worked a few days ago no problem, but the past 2 days with the influx of transactions, I wonder if the purpose is to cause a "perceived" problem with the network. The goal being to either destabilize confidence in the network or to exploit higher fees as the norm from users.
People seem to think that search is meant to be unbiased, thus any bias added after the fact is not just bad but is malicious just by being there.

But... even if the worst is true, and Google treats its search results like its own personal pulpit, is that so bad? Should Google be required to advertise for all its competitors in every field, just because they happen to have a website?

Google's algorithm is secret; there's nothing to imply that its results are anything except editorials.
I'm convinced malleability of the software isn't the issue; the issue is that the thing that the software is modeling is malleable and generally unknown to the level of detail necessary.

Nobody in a business knows all the business rules, no manager is aware of all the data that their underlings create, manipulate or consume, no individual or single location at FAA really knows all the rules on how traffic control actually works, etc etc etc.

But when we create software to automate any of those things then, at that point, need to have a full understanding of all those things. And then we generally also discover that the rules discovered are inconsistent, violate some other rules or laws, etc. And once those are fixed, then and only then people realize that what they had isn't quite what they wanted. And not only what they want changes, the whole underlying system was evolving at the same time, so it sometimes feel that you're starting again instead of tweaking the implementation (and this may also be why software methodology research focus obsessively on approaches that make things easy to change at a later date)
Can you link it here? I'm just curious. I run docker on trusty all the time
You're bring incredibly hostile over something very trivial.

Racket v6.7
Good things:

- Makes visiting the city cheaper

- Increases tourism

- Enriches land-owners

Bad things:

- Skirts consumer protection laws

- Makes it harder for law-abiding hotels to survive in that situation

- Reduces inventory of rental units on the market, driving up local prices in an already expensive place

- People in a "hotel room" are more likely to misbehave than someone that actually intends to live somewhere

It's not wrong just because it's illegal, it's wrong because it causes various problems in the city and for the people that live there.
Ding ding ding! This is exactly it. As a Google Fiber customer in Austin, it honestly wasn't any better than any of the other ISPs. Ironically, the only thing that was better was the DVR and live TV search that came with the TV service.
I think GP just linked to the email because I cited it but forgot the link.
I have to take them on and off a lot for various meetings and encounters. There is probably some solution, but wireless is likely to be the most simple, in my opinion.
Different people are different. Crazy huh?
I didn't compare it to Stockholm proper. I compared the NYC urban area (basically, NYC and it's suburbs and satellite cities) to Stockholm's urban area. Stockholm proper is less dense than NYC proper, but that is by itself not that useful a number. More people live outside NYC in the urban area as live inside NYC. The opposite is true for Stockholm.
Microsoft has always made nice hardware. Until recently, that has been limited to simple devices (like keyboards and mice). That has definitely changed.

I was pretty excited about the Surface Book when it came out (I'm an Apple fan). But I was unsure if that line would continue. That fact that it has been refreshed is good news.

The only thing that's missing is being able to plug an external video card (like the Alienware and Razer laptops can do). Once they are able to do that, switching to the Book is a no-brainer. I like MacOS, but it's only worth so much (specially with the unix subsystem on Windows now).

The one thing Microsoft needs to learn from Apple is how to design websites. The event URL is cluttered, the "fact sheets" are horrible.
Ditto from the ground. Airbnb's political acumen, especially in comparison with Uber's, is abysmal. They clam up when authorities ask questions, piss off powerful constituents (e.g. prosecutors by launching ad campaigns against them and investors and early employees by blocking share transfers), and then routinely overplay their "popular support" card. If this is their ground game elsewhere, expect more backlash to follow.
Re intelligence -- most examinations are done in the Western Protestant world, for obvious reasons. (I.e. in the Muslim world it can be all the time ay up to suicide to admit to atheism...)

When it gets real bad, sometimes I put in my handy old industrial orange foam ear-plugs[1]. What's good for bringing the scream of a chainsaw down to a dull wail will just about block out all but the loudest conference calls completely. Although I suppose it might be a tad ruder than headphones...

I have to say: before I began to read through, I was already convinced the author's idea was not a good one. But by the time I finished, she convinced me that it was a good plan in her situation.

There are lots of great tools in the Docker/container ecosystem these days, but I can see the argument that a major infrastructure migration should be done in incremental steps. Using containers as simply a Puppet replacement strikes me as a really good idea! You want your application to be _ready_ for containerization, before you try to introduce an orchestration system.

Although, when she mentioned that her team is meant to be "Heroku for the rest of the company", I couldn't help but think of Convox [0]. It's a great tool, it's open-source, and using it is really just like having your own Heroku. We used Convox at my last company, had amazing success with it, and I've been recommending it ever since.

Yeah but demand isn't the problem when you're offering crazy discounts on things.
They are at least trying to avoid the Google Glass fiasco by adding recording indicator lights to the front.
NYC is very large, and on the whole very very safe. It is in fact the safest city in America. The real problem with permanent whole apartment rentals is that is puts a strain on the limited housing supply. Its easier to regulate against non-conventional use than to rewrite zoning to allow more affordable housing to be built. So, that's the regulation we get.
That sounds interesting. How does the book argue that quality of work correlates with availability and audience size? What book is it?
Its about having a choice. Open floors don't leave any choice for people who like to work quietly away from all noise. Not to mention some of us are little or a lot socially anxious which affects performance when there is lot of foot traffic.

In a place where primary place to work is office, still provides common areas where you can talk to your co-workers and have serendipitous conversations. People who seek social interaction find it anywhere, meetings, lunch etc.

Its about choice.
Well, modern Opera is very similar to Chrome, as it is Blink based. Agree about Safari.
AXFR isn't the only way to sync records between providers. You just need a tool that speaks to the APIs of each provider and can sync between them that way. Heck, I had syncing in place at a startup between Route 53, DNS Made Easy, a pair of TinyDNS servers, and a git repo (which was our historical backup of changes) years ago. It was 300 lines of Python and 100 lines of shell. Albeit, we only had a few dozen or so records to manage, but this isn't rocket science.

Aside: I came out of college as a sys admin with a CS degree and writing tools like this was par for the course. If devops folks aren't writing tools like this today, what are they doing?
>Guests being assholes is an issue that's certainly hard to deal with, but it doesn't sound impossibly hard. Maybe if Airbnb had a program to approach the representatives for each building an Airbnb is rented out at, giving them a way to be informed about guests and leave feedback for them... perhaps include some form of shared compensation with the host, at a smaller %. I can see buildings being pro-Airbnb if there's a fair system behind it.

That would take effort, most hosts won't do it and Airbnb won't do it because they would be told to go and lick a power socket by most buildings.

Having a revolving door in a small building without a porter isn't nice, noise, loss of security and theft can be a real problem.

The building getting 1% (per falt) out of the stay is really honestly nothing say you have some really nice flat to rent and you rent it for 600 a week, do you think anyone would accept this nonsense for the price of a coffee and a muffin at Starbucks?

Even if they manage to have 100% tenancy it will mean that each flat will see about 300GBP, sure no one will throw away 300GBP but this is likely less than 1 week of rent for most decent locations in London this isn't what is going to make the difference.

Zoning laws and regulations exist for a reason, sure you can have a building with a bad tenant but this is a single point issue which can be resolved through the police, council or the building trust.

And while not to sound too obnoxious when you are paying a premium for the location and accommodation you expect a certain demographic whether it's young professionals or more established families it doesn't matter, you don't expect 7 drunk dutch girls partying all day and all night that is for sure.

Sure 10 or even 5 years ago I might have liked it, but not now, I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to live in what effectively can become a hostel come summer just because people can now pay for the upgrade to first class with Airbnb.

I also don't think it's unreasonable to think that people should not be allowed to effectively build purposely built party flats with a huge bar in the living room and a balcony which was turned from a picnic table and a few benches into a dance floor just so they can ask for double the price while advertising it on ABNB or w/e.

I can't comment much on docker as I have little experience but can I say this is a really honest and courageous post - I would have expected some corporate-speak not "we got things wrong early on", and a self-awareness and openness about the challenges being faced at a corporate level that has made me change my mind about the amount of trust to put in Docker the company.

Mad props.
Well, in my hypothetical world, the Wikipedia editor page would include a widget in which a user could submit a URL, and Wikipedia would generate the markup, including an archive URL. Deciding how to implement this so that it works efficiently will have some overlap with issues on that 2nd hardest computer science problem of cache invalidation.
Debunking Misleading Benchmarks Of Redshift vs BigQuery
Probably a valid complaint against code like this. In an organization with a lot of more junior developers I might strike this code in a code review as being non obvious. On the other hand, I trust this code more than similar basic conditional based fizzbuzz since there's no conditionals or nested logic to get wrong. It's also simple to extend, ie, a 'Bazz' on 7 requirement would be adding one more cycle to the mix.
I can't speak for NYC, but Vancouver is looking to ban AirBnB due in part to the displacing effect it has on long term locals. In an ultra-low vacancy rental market, every AirBnB unit takes a badly-needed apartment out of the rental pool.
Your company has lost over 10 Billion in mobile and your platform has no developer support and apps. It's over.
Thunderbolt is an Intel standard, Apple was just an early adopter.
And literally every Trump supporter I've talked to online opposes anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBT people like me. So don't expect me to be nice to them or to associate with them. Sorry but my life, my time, my money, my way or the highway. If that frightens them then they shouldn't try to talk to me in the first place.
So it seems they have a database of known exploits (their homemade page shows a "sticky-keys" exploit of windows login).

They had come across the Russian malware before - to the extent of decompiling it enough to extract comments or variable names - so they had a pretty good idea of what to look for.

Interesting - I suppose the only way to get good at this game is to start and collect as you go along. Pokemon for IDS
Learning to Protect Communications with Adversarial Neural Cryptography
I run a small 4 node mesos cluster. So far it's been great, took a day or two to setup and has been running for about a year now with little to no maintenance. (I should probably update). I launch long running services through Marathon and crons with Chronos. I use haproxy for service discovery and load balancing. It's mostly used for data processing, but does serve data to a production web environment (~40k req / day).

The things I like the most about mesos is that it is light weight and removes a like of the friction in deploying new services. So I can test out a new idea without a big investment or f*ing around with the giant monolith. I found container based approaches too resource intensive for my budget.
I think that hard to measure consequences vs easy to measure financial impacts are why so many companies go down the path of mediocrity one small change at a time. "If we make people jump through all of these hoops for software/hardware/whatever we save $X per year." HR, finance, corp IT and facility management in big companies rarely factor in employee happiness because you can't put that as a line item in the budget. Their priorities become aligned with their own interests.

HR is starting to wise up as evidenced by improving benefits packages and various industry publications. And while that's good that's probably a consequence of being held directly accountable for recruiting and retention which doesn't translate readily to other departments. There's still a dramatic disconnect between various departments and what benefits the company as a whole.
I know there's an Airbnb in my building. Didn't really care until a guest puked in the elevator and broke a beer bottle in the lobby. I don't know which apartment it's in.
Wow, the Washington Post is now ignoring Google's cloaking rules and putting up their paywall even when clicking from Google if you've gone over their "free article limit" for the month. I've reported them to Google, here's hoping they get deindexed.
That's certainly true for conventional transistors. We may get a bit more mileage using carbon nanotubes or some exotic quantum technology.
So Apple still has no real solution to this bug?
You're right, of course, they don't just disagree about the value of the stock, they disagree about the value of money, and the meaning of 'value'.

But my point is that when you see that a stock is trading at a particular price, all that tells you is that one person has a utility function that values that amount of money higher than a unit of the stock, and one person has a utility function that is opposite it. There's no guarantee either of them have a utility function anywhere near your own. Which leads me to conclude that the net information content of a stock trade is, fundamentally, zero. And yet prediction markets work - go figure.
If those political opinions includes putting me in a mental ward because I'm transgender then yeah I'm going to not be your friend. That's just a fact of life. It's why I haven't talked to my parents for a few years because they were 100% opposed to me being openly trans or transitioning. Who I am is more important than making people feel comfortable around me. They're free to find someone else to talk to as much as I am free to do the same. Why is this notion something shocking to you all?
