Prüm is in a seemingly rural yet heavily populated part of Germany. There are villages and towns every few kms, sometimes less. Many people in the region commute to major cities such as Cologne and Aachen daily. Luxembourg, Trier, Cologne, Bonn, and Koblenz are all within manageable distance.

But the patient pool was drawn largely from psych units, where your (very efficient!) classifier might not work as well. The real headline should probably be "identifying suicidality in patients already admitted to psychiatric institutions".
In my opinion many of these startups are not able to compete against UBER on the technology as all.In India UBER's major competitor is OLA (is very well funded and has been around for while) but when it comes to mobile app's usability and features,OLA is not near at all.Simply the algorithms when it comes to features like UBER POOL ,OLA is no where close in my experience.I have used UBER Pool quite a lot and similar service for OLA is very bad.Once they have clubbed another person going in the opposite direction with me and i had to get down in between.How on earth can u share your ride with a guy going the opposite direction ?
You can interpret that statement in any number of ways. That quote originated no later than 1994. The semi-conductor industry then was certainly dominated by men. In that sense, the use of the male gender is surely just a byproduct of its environment - if nearly everyone you work with and compete against is a bunch of dudes, you'd surely end up using masculine pronouns all the time.

Another interesting thing is the entanglement of male personal identity with the corporation. Because men don't actually own fabs - corporations own fabs. Economic/legal entities designed to exploit human labour and creativity own fabs. The very people muttering these statements about real men are doing so while embedding themselves into a matrix of control.

And another way to interpret this - even if a positive vision of masculinity merely includes sufficient self dependence and a capability to provide for others - ie to be free, then this statement is blatantly true. The statement is that people who are truly able to be free are those who own the methods of production - something which the vast majority of men (or people really) in our world do not.
> And that pyramid, well, it definitely is the way how a corporate and enterprise Java software has been and still being made. Java itself is an ecosystem for creating coding factories - to parallelize the process of coding (one cannot honestly call this programming) among teams of easily replaceable, uniform (in terms of abilities) cheap workers. Every manager will tell about this ideal.

So is the web today, its bloat eclipsing even Enterprise Java. The idea you described is the idea all businesses pursue, because it's the one of reducing costs and increasing profits.

> The crucial difference between an art and merely piling up more crap is that art means an attempts to approach an ideal, an optimum, perfection - it is, ideally, a reduction process with eventually converges to the closest possible approximation to an ideal.

A long time ago Hollywood studios used to literally own actors. The studios would have long term contracts with the actors. This lowered the cost of making movies while also increasing the speed. [1]

I wonder if we will see something similar with the steaming companies.

I am visiting China. It seems impossible to get an IPv6 address from either China Telecom (the ASN lacks IPv6 peering) or a datacentdr within China. Sending traffic to a VM in South Korea has similarly had the issue where I cannot find any VMs with IPv6 support, although most have terrible latencies.

Never attribute to malice, what can be easily explained by a lack of technological progress.

Maybe they've just not got enough data on you?
Those are just one site each though. GitHub and Amazon are many.

Also, I am not sure if googleadservices.com should be on that list. Leaving advertising on IPv4 to die might be for the best. ;)
They strike me more as an example of the traditional German "Mittelstand" than a fancy tech startup. The location seems perfectly reasonable, although 5000 is indeed a bit on the tiny side even for Germany.

There doesn't seem to be any public transit but in rural Germany most commuters use cars anyway. The next biggest nearby town seems to be Trier, which is one hour away by car.

There's also a US airforce base nearby and the town is relatively close to the borders of Luxembourg and Belgium.

I don't think they'll have trouble with recruiting. If the jobs are appealing enough, people will be willing to relocate -- if not to Prüm itself then probably to one of the nearby towns.
The resources you refer to are abysmal, criticism is available and widespread online if you want details.

You get proficient at C programming by properly understanding what you learn rather than spend countless hours in trial and error cycles.

There isn't much magic to it and the concepts are quite simple. In my opinion if you're looking to get up to speed quickly instead of carefully writing code then C is not for you.
Its not them who deemed it unacceptable. Its simply illegal.
Initially thought that but Prüm does seem a bit isolated. Google recons it is 1h 23m to Cologne. Liege and Koblenz a little closer.

I was going to say hope it has good train links for a more relaxed commute, but then relevantly the engineers might use Teslas on autopilot to work....
I am not very surprised by this news: german companies are very, very strong in this field.

I worked a few years in a german research facility for production technology and automation a few years ago and the stuff we were working on was impressive ... to say the least.

Very smart people and a lot a discipline => it's obviously paying off.
I'm a freelance programmer without much self-worth, and currently no work. Given the right environment, people and projects (for me), I know I'd be happier and wealthier, and may even thrive. Rather than the abandonment that I've felt on many freelance gigs. With age, I find it increasingly difficult to sit in front of a computer for long stretches of time (more than 4 hours). I've been in a rut, where I've barely earned enough to get by for the last 15 years, and have nothing to show for it, other than a bust shoulder. No landmark projects or piles of cash. Cash would help! My other half frequently tries to talk me out of the profession. I work occasionally with impassioned newcomers, who assume with my depth of knowledge and skill-set I'd be earning shed loads and taking the best gigs. But they have the needed drive and zeal that I feel I could do with a shot of. Or rather, I can program, but I'm not a successful programmer/worker. I still like problem solving, but also appreciate some donkey work. I often think what else can I do, but my imagination and confidence fails me. And I'm too shy to ask for help (UK).
The good news is that Amazon has been slowly rolling out IPv6 support across various AWS services (ex. S3, CloudFront). Once they support IPv6 on EC2, though, that will be the big breakthrough!
9999999999999999.0 can't be represented as a double. Depending on the rounding mode, it could become 9999999999999998.0, so when you subtract them, they're zero. That happens when the rounding mode is round toward zero, or round down. Any other mode rounds it up to 1e+16, so you get an answer of 2.
Nice work! Congrats on the launch. Do you have an API? would be great to here more on potential integration options.

> It's saying "don't use Signal because Signal is less than perfect".

This is mis-categorisation. The article says "I won't recommend the use of Signal" and gives reasons and desired improvements.
I call it protectionism because it tries to dismiss the issues instead of discussing them.

I think that you are misinterpreting the articles intention. It is more complex than a single statement. I believe that the author wants Signal to change in certain direction. It is hard to do when the userbase is growing regardless and people are not aware of the issues.
I thought that there would be some information on how it finds anyone's email address, especially at "How It Works" [0].

BTW, if one has signed up on LinkedIn using their non-work address, e.g. gmail, do you manage to find their personal address or the work one? I guess that it'd be latter, right?

> Can you please explain a bit more on this.

Yes, sure. The bitcoin innovation was solving the duplicate transaction (or spend) problem in a trustless network. In a private blockchain you have trust between the nodes so this innovation does not apply.

> Also did anything similar to blockchain (distributed decentralized information store) exist earlier?

Yes, databases supported this configuration before and the idea of smart contracts predates Bitcoin. Also, there are a lot of articles before Bitcoin about secure transaction logs.
Not really. Most pyramids are throwaway. The web is 99% throwaway code. Businesses themselves are throwaway too, so a lot of software made by them and for them goes to bin after few years.

What remains? Projects that are so useful that dominate their niche. Windows, Linux. Office. Photoshop. CAD tools. I suspect VLC will remain, 7zip may too. Some of those tools are pyramids, some others aggregation of small artpieces. I don't think survival depends on whether or not the software is a pyramid or a thatch hut.
...until they divide by 3.
I think it is all about balance. I am happy that I get to write new things every day and enjoy this aspect of it; I do not enjoy short deadlines and stress to get things working for a customer with incessant clock-watching. I enjoy learning new parts of development-land but I watch the industry and find new technologies and devices somewhat boring. I find the new aspects of programming languages (like C++ etc.) really interesting, in contrast to this.

So I have decided to reduce the amount of time I spend at a computer and read more. I play my bass more. I try and get the balance right, and hopefully I can reduce the number of days I work because there is a danger that whilst slaving to make a living, we forget to live.
Rather pointless to have a "trusted" application on an operating system you cannot trust – and not even the possibility to run the application on an even remotely trusted and private system, in particular without giving unaccountable root access to Google.

Yeah, same here. Except then messages arrive out of order, duplicate, for another session, "bad encrypted message", or simply take minutes to deliver. I don't understand why duplicates are even possible.

So while I'm able to get people to try it out or use it for "sensitive" stuff, these issues really hurt usage and I'll just end up reverting to SMS once a day at least.

Edit: I don't want to sound to be complaining too much. I love Signal and try to convert people. Just hard when basics mess up. And it's also frustrating because on the surface some of this stuff doesn't make sense.
Yes, Yes and yes!
I consider myself a quicklearner. I am 28, been working as .NET consultant but know the other languages such as javascript/node, php, swift, java. Paid well, but I cant help feeling like I was meant to do something else. I wish I could use my brain capacity to help other people. UNICEF, UN or other NGO. I believe technology can have massive impact on countries which lags behind the "western" standards. I wish I could be part of a program to help out people with the use of technology.
This feeling is so intense, I wouldnt be surprised if I quit my job tomorrow. I am not scared of leaving my country (Norway) if there was a great opportunity to work abroad.

Dont really know where to start when it comes to tech + UN. If someone knows please give me a pointer to start.
Are you looking to travel? Did you install Google Trips?
The difference probably is that the scales are different in Germany. The largest city in the general area is Cologne with 1 million residents. There are a lot more much smaller towns in between and it's perfectly normal to drive from one town to another for shopping and services because the towns tend to be very close to each other.

You don't generally get these vast empty stretches of land between places in Germany, especially not in the West (the most densely populated region of Germany). But you also don't get American megacities like NYC, SF or LA.
Especially surprising since CEF's Wikipedia page lists 73 projects that use it (many of the well known and widely used, like Spotify, Second Life, Steam Client, Adobe Creative Cloud, Dreamweaver CC, Edge Animate and Edge Reflow).

I first looked at Awesomium because it had a Unity3D interface [1], but that's gone stale (Awesomium doesn't support 64 bits, much has changed in Unity since then, not to mention Chrome itself), and some developers on the Unity discussion groups were suggesting CEF as an alternative. [2] [3]

I'm interested in integrating the latest CEF with the latest Unity3D on Mac and Windows desktop, as well as for consoles.

There are (non-Unity-specific, i.e. maybe too complex and modern) C# wrappers for CEF [4], which looks pretty elaborate, but I think it would be tighter to integrate the CEF C++ code directly as a native Unity extension, without thunking through too much Windows-oriented C# glue that might not be compatible with Unity's older version of C#.

On iOS I'm simply using WkWebKit, and WebKit on Chrome, which both support off-screen rendering.

Here's some interesting stuff comparing Awesomium and CEF and other stuff from Stratoscope. [5] It's from a 446 day old thread about CefSharp [6] so it might predate the Awesomiumocalypse. The thread is interesting reading! Really makes me wonder why Awesomium is on the list at all.

It looks like Coherent UI is a commercially supported alternative to Awesomium, but I haven't looked into it yet. Their employee said good things about CEF and offered some fair criticism:

"Hi, Stoyan from Coherent Labs here. My impressions of CEF are very good. They manage to keep it very close to the chromium HEAD, which is great. The only technical downside of CEF is the imperfect GPU acceleration. In many cases however the architecture of chromium itself is a hindrance. Their processes hog memory like crazy and introduce perceivable lag. We had to write a complete new product to solve the issue for games." [7]

Not only has Tesla created the greatest external challenge to the German auto industry that I can think of. They also have the nerve to attack them in their own backyard where they can take advantage of German suppliers etc. What will be next? A Gigafactory in Europe?

This is great news for people who like tech but must be worrying for the German automakers who have yet to come up with a trustworthy answer to Tesla.

I believe one of VW, Mercedes Benz and BMW will bankrupt in 5-10 years. None of them have taken EV serious yet and I fear it's soon too late. The EVs that they have come up with as answers to Tesla are almost cartoonish like vehicles. Take a look at this Mercedes EQ: http://www.autoblog.com/2016/09/29/mercedes-benz-generation-...

Or this VW I.D.:
https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/28/meet-the-i-d-volkswagens-f...
Same blue lights. I bet they will come with a space suit and a laser gun as well.

Both are still concept cars but they represent what they expect their EVs should look like. Mind you that this is something they plan to market in 2020 so it will probably be 2021 or later. And their planned 2020 EVs are inferior to Tesla model S, X and 3 in 2016/2017 in many ways, not just design wise. It is as though they think only hipsters will drive EVs in any foreseeable future.

So when in 2021 they realise that they underestimated that ordinary people want an EV that looks no more spacey than a combustion engine car, but comes with wireless upgrades, long range batteries, large trunk, fast acceleration, high safety rating etc., they will have to wait another 3-4 years until they have a real answer ready. By then, model 3 has been on the market for close to a decade and even better Tesla models with better range, faster charging etc. have been introduced. And the Tesla cars will have been trained with tens of billions of miles of self driving by then. How are the Germans going to catch up?

I see where you're coming from, and I agree that they designed it to extract maximum value from their users. But when, in order to do so, they deliberately make their product punish non-data-yielding users, I think that absolutely deserves to be described as "deliberately crippled."
Bitcoin: the Stripe perspective
That link has in fact nothing to do with this paper.
It depends on the kind of people you want. Even if the town is "remote" if seen by German proportions, it is still only an hours drive away from the next major cities and the countryside is very rural and beautiful. It's true that these are not the conditions that attract a lot of people straight out of college, but they are very attractive to more senior people, esp if they have family.
I know Grohmann has been very good at binding talent for long times, i.e. by giving loans for houses at much better conditions than a bank would. So these people build their homes in the area, which ofc gives them a much greater tie to the place.
> essentially XMPP with Conversations is all we have in this arena right now.

Maybe this isn't too bad. How does modern XMPP compare with Signal's protocol?

Since Signal refuses to learn from XMPP (especially the federated part), maybe the solution is to make XMPP learn from Signal. Then, Signal's failure to become federated would have been an important step to make XMPP finally useful for secure messaging.
The train connections to all nearby major cities suck though. It's nearly 3h even from Luxembourg, which seems to have the fastest connection.
Looks like they need some qa. The sample Adwords report looks really buggy on the iPad Pro (chrome)
Maybe, for starters, by querying the area of the map that is currently displayed, rather than your current location? Which is more in line with what you'd usually want anyway.
I wasn't predicting the outcome of the election other than I'm expecting one of the major party candidates to be elected. What I'd really like is the opportunity to vote for someone I respect, trust and can follow. It seems politics seems to weed out those candidates in favor of the ones that will win at any cost.
Complete anecdote, but that can change quite fast.

I'm an avid Uber user (mostly because there are no real alternatives), and after the latest update everything is completely broken.

- It will randomly just cancel your trip, without it even showing up in your history.
- It will swap your pick up and destination just as the driver accepts your trip.
- You have to go to a lot of steps to manually set the pick up point. Picking me up on the interstate that I live next to isn't really an option. But Uber seems to think that.

And it's supposedly not just me having issues, the drivers are saying everyone is experiencing it. So there's definitively room for someone to outdo Uber.
Currently I'm on telegram primarily. Loving it, using the bots, using the gifs built in, using the stickers and the cloud storage. I don't love the encryption.

But my next switch will be to a self hosted/federated solution such as https://riot.im/, at least for me and my wife. I will not be able to make friends use and trust my server (they shouldn't for their private messages) and they won't run their own.

Signal looks nice but man the Telegram desktop client on Linux is also very very convenient, plus the fact that you don't need your phone to be on.
This is more or less a way of saying it's "rather pointless to have secure messengers on iOS". I understand why open source advocates say that, because they've been saying it for 20 years now, but I'm not sure we need to litigate the point or pretend it's some great insight.
