It is also worth noting - how much do those cases really matter anyway? If they're going to the bother of disabling your licence checks, they probably aren't going to buy it anyway.
This is quite common in the Eindhoven area in the Netherlands where ASML is located. A lot of companies make some parts for ASML.

I'm not sure how detailed the requirements are when given to the companies but from what I understand, there still is a lot of continuous cooperation between the involved companies.
"In the absence of mutagens, an average gene will mutate about once in a million generations. ~10^16 cell divisions occur in a typical life span so somewhere in cells that are part of you each of your genes has mutated 10^10 times (hence cancer). Only mutations in the germ line can be passed on to the next generation. You have about 50 mutations that your parents dont have (mutations that happened in the egg or sperm that made you up)-each of your parents in turn have passed on ~50 mutants that their parents dont have."

Ask HN: Is OLAP/SSAS data just a buzzword for 99% of companies?
I think the growing number of requests from recruiting agencies for developers with OLAP/SSAS/Cube experience/knowledge may have a lot to do with how Microsoft (and others) are pushing this as part of their database "stack", even though 90% (tbh I think it's closer to 99%) of the companies who ask for this skill will never actually need OLAP databases. I could be wrong, but it does feel to me like it's a buzzword that doesn't really have a huge amount of practical use in most companies. I do a lot of SQL work and constantly get requests for SSAS from medium-tier companies in sectors like law, design, media, insurance.
One other point I have yet to see mentioned here that occurred to me when I made the switch from smoking cigarettes to vaping several years ago is that vaping also changed how I engaged in my smoking ritual.

A cigarette has become a somewhat expensive object. When I light it up I would finish it, or at least try to. If the time I had for my smoke break was short I would puff that thing hard to get it done in the time I had allotted. An e-cig can be used for a few puffs and then dropped back into my pocket with nothing wasted. I could be much lazier about how I smoked and as a consequence I tended to smoke less.
Someone stupid enough to actually use this in a serious environment arguably deserves it.

Nothing you said is a proof that what happened has roots in state-wide hate against particular minority. It's personal and biased.

My grandparents were stripped of all land as well and I am 100% certain it was not because of ethnicity since they were of the same as the ruling ethnic majority.

What you are explaining is probably local authorities - humans hated your relatives because of their ethnicity and that was one of the reason they got sent to Siberia. Taking land though was widespread in USSR. It was taken from ethnic Russians as well.

The fact that minorities survived and thrived on the same scale as Russians and got sent and taken land from on the same scale as Russians and got sent to Siberia on the same scale as Russians is a proof that there was no policy to destroy particular minority on a state level. It was a policy to destroy enemies of the state.

> instead of having a million random updaters checking things in Task Scheduler.

And a million different popups. The main problem I see with this is that some programs (e.g. Razer Synapse) can't be arsed to have an external process do the patching; demanding a reboot. Combine that with the Windows update reboot nag and you have hell on Earth.

Aside: you do have access to BITS[1], which is the download manager that Windows Update uses. According to an MSDN mag article I read years ago it tries to be as unobtrusive as possible (e.g. backing off if you are using your connection).

Its a hard question. The original military involvement start with Carter and the Carter Doctrine, declaring the Golf as a vital US interest. From there is spiral out of control quite a bit and its to long a story for this comment. Lets jump to the 'current' wars.

Afghanistan was pretty clear cut. AQ was there, the US wanted to kick them out and install a regime that would prevent further use of Afghanistan at a base, so the Taliban had to go. There is little argument about this.

Iraq is the real question. I have spent quite a bit of time on this. Its really a mystery because it simply does not make sense. There were a combination of ideas that 'infected' a small group of top military and political people.

Iraq was actually the just a first step of a grand policy to rework the middle east. You can say about Bush and friends what you like, but at least they had a strategy. They basically wanted to demonstrate US power and US ability to install liberal democracy. This would split the Iran-Syria-Hezebolla Axis. It would pressure Iran and be helpful to Israel.

With this success in hand, they could use soft power way more effectively to 'control' weak regimes like Sudan. The idea was, join the US and if you don't you will get hammer in the ground and replaced with a democracy.

This strategy was of course thrown overboard when the Republicans lost the congress, Bush dumped Rumsfeld over board with it.

Since then they are back to having no strategy and a ad-hock fire brigade style of policy making.
Why only the latter two? I would assume it's the same as natural mutation, which is also primarily the later two.

"Reboot to apply important security updates and to get rid of this message"

Have an overlay of red letters that doesn't impede you to do anything but is kind of an eye sore. Maybe a window that can be moved but can't be hidden. People will reboot to remove that message (but never when they're in the middle of something).
> You think people who want to rent out a mere room or two of their home

No, I don't. I think the majority of AirBnB rentals are the whole apartment/home, and it would be very simple to apply the rules I mentioned to just that type of listing. In NYC, where I'd imagine the percentage of shared/private rooms would be higher than other areas, 2/3 of rentals [1] are of the entire home variety. Discrimination based on protected classes is wrong in these instances. It's illegal for a landlord and it's illegal for a hotelier. Why shouldn't it be illegal for a short-term rental just because it uses the same platform that others use to rent out a room in their home?

So, does your diatribe still apply in the majority case or were you just talking about those less frequent rentals?

> It shows complete ignorance when you say discrimination based on a protected class is somehow automatically wrong.

And it shows complete ignorance on your part that you ignore the circumstances that constitute the majority of AirBnB rentals.

I would need an apple machine for iOS / web development anyway.

What I'm planning to do, though, is starting to use Linux on a VM on my MBP at home, get used to it, then get a dedicated Linux machine at home, then perhaps when my MBP is old i will keep the Linux as a machine for working, and will get myself a Mac Mini / iPad for generic home use by the whole family.
I think the implication here is that someone who is not part of the planned custody chain has it, but that someone is still within your organization, and under your control.

The person they list as "founder or CEO", Jay Hoag, is an early investor and Netflix board member according to Forbes[1]. Wikipedia says Netflix was founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph[2] and makes no mention of Jay Hoag.

So, yes, I'm confused too. It doesn't seem that they should list Hoag as the "founder or CEO", and why exclude the actual founders which is what the article is supposed to be about?

The "pros" aren't simply pissed off at the latest MBP. We're pissed off at the continuing trend over the last 5 years of Apple products becoming more difficult or nearly impossible to disassemble, upgrade and repair. We're tired of form over function. Sales targets over user experience.

I think you're under estimating the amount of time and effort that goes into to making an ergonomic and approachable user interface, that both your technical teams and nontechnical teams enjoy using.

Sure someone can replicate it, but I think you're underestimating the value of it. Like IRC could have the best features in the world but for the users who do not find it approachable it may as well not exist.
There are two modes for X11 under Crouton: GPU accelerated output (called "xorg" mode) and unaccelerated output to a chrome window (called "xiwi" mode). Both seem to work fine based on my limited testing with Gnome on Debian Sid.
Actually I believe clinically, "addictiveness" is measured by what it takes to develop a dependence in the first place, rather that what it takes to get rid of that dependence or even the physical effects of an abrupt cessation. I heard somewhere (sorry no references) that by that measure, nicotine is one of if not the most addictive substance known.
Although you may have lost your keys, you may very well be able to know for sure they're somewhere inside your apartment.

Yup, Sublime Text rules. I still use 2.0.1 at work (on a Mac) mainly for Perl and JavaScript. It always works, it's fast, doesn't ever crash. I didn't like VSCode that much (mainly have a problem with the toolbar on the right and don't want to learn new key bindings/menus etc). Also I don't use debuggers that much, so it's a useless addition to VSCode for me. Atom is a lot like Sublime in terms of usage, but it's painfully slow. It is getting a bit better with every new iteration though. I'm using Atom at home for learning new stuff, as Sublime's widgets are fairly different from the general UI in Linux (looks like an editor from outer space) and Atom tends to integrate somewhat better.

Meditation is about clearing your mind of distractions. A vacation is supposed to be a chance to see the world and do things you normally wouldn't.

You should try to be stress free in your daily life. Your vacation should be a little stressful. All my best travel stories feature stress (or some conflict, or challenge, or misadventure, ...)

In USA, families on welfare benefits are also often the largest families. Being laid more is irrelevant if it does not result in a child. It's more reason as to why evolution is simply not a factor in the modern world.

Also, why do you say 'some'? It would stop all negative mutations, as all people are given the ability to reproduce. Your argument seems to be that people with negative mutations would not be attractive, but often they are attractive to others with negative mutations themselves. Or just people who no longer breed purely based on biological fitness - again because of modern civilization.

This. The withdrawal symptoms of coffee usually last for about a week. The thing that is perhaps most surprising is that after that week you'll also feel less tired. Turns out that while most people consider coffee as a remedy to tiredness, it's the coffee itself that actually makes you more tired, so you need more and more of it, just like any other addictive drug.
It's not that simple. First of all you ignore the whole dongle / headphones / incompatibility with iPhone side of things.

I have been thinking of switching over for a while because I can't stand Apple, the company, I hate having to pay €100 for a new charger if something happens to the old one, or having to buy dongles. I detest iTunes and Preview, I don't like having Xcode dictate what goes in my machine, I don't want to be forced to buy an expensive Apple monitor because any other one looks blurry, and a few other things. But most of all - I'm feed up with paying double for quality I don't really need. Yes, the trackpad is great - but I don't care, I connect a mouse to the laptop. I can buy two Windows machines for the price of a Mac. The latest MBP announcement only adds fuel to the fire, but the fire has been burning for a while.

What the latest MBP announcement DOES show is that Apple doesn't give a monkey about devs anymore. We are not their target audience. We were like the artists who move in a rundown area, make it appealing to middle class people, and then are priced out and forced to move away. It's simply time to separate a work machine with a generic home machine. I may still get myself an iPad for connecting to my TV, music, generic web surfing, but I am going to start migrating to a Linux for dev work.
Philosophical Issues in Computer Science [pdf]
Airbnb is a platform. They can take steps to try to limit and root out discrimination, but it is the hosts themselves who are being discriminatory. Furthermore, hosts have voluntarily signed up to act as a small business owner/landlord. Thus, it seems fair for them to take on much of the legal burden for their individual actions in that role.
Your explanations are very nice. I have just one thing I am wondering. What if a customer is using something like VMWare to activate the product and then distribute in the company a VMWare image. Can your hardware based licensing scheme work?
The concept of GoPro Karma is intriguing but based on some early reviews it is a horrible drone. For example see this review by iPhonedo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xmqthgCvxk

Based on this video the price, stability, amount of features and just about everything is worse than my old DJI Phantom 3 Standard.

I wished GoPro Karma would be good but based on reviews I'm not impressed and probably end up going with Mavic Pro even though I just bought GoPro Hero 5.
It's logical. As mobiles become more powerful, and efficient, and batteries become better, we should see the ecosystem move to where laptops/desktops are today. Chrome is the most used app on my laptop.
I have a 1st generation Garmin Virb mounted to the front of my motorbike:

Stabilization is (very) poor, and image quality is so-so, but the thing works flawlessly; it's remote-controlled by the Garmin watch via a special connection that never drops, and powered by the bike. I love it.

First of all, this looks a good idea to me.

"Traditional" license management servers (like FlexLM) are a scary piece of software for sysadmins: think of it like a black box that will shut down everything if you mess up.

This license-as-a-service makes operations very easy.

I wonder if you have in mind something about concurrent users. I mean, some software is licensed on a _concurrent_ user basis, not just per seat.

If a user logs-in twice, usually the LM revokes the license for the session that was active, and assigns a new one to the user that just logged-in.

Also, license reporting is also a good idea for answering questions like... how much do I have to pay for next year maintainance?

Once I got used to it I found I kind of like the Go paradigm of checking for errors every time something could go wrong, and (usually) passing the first one up the chain with some additional context info.

However, the fact that "ignore error" is an easy and built-in paradigm that even shows up in the official docs:

fragileThing, _ := scary.MightNotWork()

that fills me with dread.

I think your definitions are almost correct here. Addiction is actually defined as a medical condition ”characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences". So addiction is technically a mental thing and susceptibility to it depends not just on the drug, but on the person, mentality, self control, etc. When a lot of people talk about addiction they are actually thinking of dependence, susceptibility to which is only dependent on the drug and the amount of use. You can have one, or the other, or both.

I believe that while both nicotine and opiates can be addictive from first use, it takes a much longer prolonged use of nicotine to form a strong physical dependence (from personal experience, on the order of a few years of regular use), unlike opiates which can form a strong physical dependence after just a short time (as little as just a few weeks of regular use).

> I rarely talk about meditation in professional circles because, for one, people think it's weird

No, it totally makes sense. Long walks in the woods or long runs are almost like meditation for me, and it is definitely like vacation for the mind.

I just wonder where to get started with actual meditation - I have to admit I find the predominant literature about that topic extremely esoteric, and that's something that easily puts me off.

Any tips what a good starting point would be?
