Maybe the word "can't" was a poor choice. My point remains that people pretty much always drive in ways that would fail a DMV driving test. Plus, I know I sure drive differently when cops are around too.
Best less hassle way for both parties is to have them run your payroll through a Canadian payroll company who will do the payroll deductions and issue a T4 year end. Many U.S. Companies do this for their remote employees.

Can you translate that into some human language? Probably not.

Here, let me try: people don't like you for legitimate reasons, and you clumsily tried to make that go away. Sorry, dude, you weren't "brand-appropriate." Can you give it another go?
But also bear in mind that the all the satellites over New Zealand (for example) will be wasted while we are asleep and at any given time a lot of satellites will be over empty ocean (sending 4K Netflix to cruise ships maybe).

For me the amazing thing about what.cd was having different masterings available for albums. You don't have to be an audiophile to appreciate how well records were mastered before the loudness wars. Hearing vinyl rips of rock albums from the 1960s and 1970s was a revelation.
Wow. I read this comment and thought, "This has to be bullshit." But lo and behold, the core satellite 'constellation' is only 24 satellites[1]. That's mega impressive.

Some might be legitimately lost outside of digital versions preserved illegally. I'd assume only a number of copies are owned by people who have purchased the music legally (who may not know where the music is located or know how to go about sharing it) and that the record label has lost it in their archives at some point (or may no longer be around at all).

Degrees fahrenheit... Probably don't need to start your doomsday prepping just yet.
i uploaded dozens of albums to what.cd, it didn't help with my ratio in the slightest, because some seed-box grabs one copy, then they take all the rest of the ratio because they have much faster internet than me. Out of everything i uploaded, with all qualities/encodes included, i got maybe 2-3GB of ratio.

Again, what is the point of a torrent site that punishes you for actually using it, even if you are fully willing to contribute via seeding, or albums, etc.

As a heavy user for years, sorry, the what.cd system was fundamentally broken if you didn't have a fast seed-box to slurp up ratio fron everyone else. Because its zero sum, the seedboxes win, and everyone else loses. Which is totally insane when bits are 100% free things that can be copied endlessly, isn't that the whole point of BitTorrent to begin with?!
Yup, missed it. Agree it's an oversight, but it's still annoyingly difficult to find if you miss that line.
Try reading to the third paragraph before asking your "honest question":

> SpaceX wants to launch 4,425 satellites into low-Earth orbits, with altitudes ranging from 715 miles to 823 miles. By contrast, the existing HughesNet satellite network has an altitude of 22,000 miles.

That's about — basic arithmetic alert! — three percent the distance for the SpaceX satellites compared to existing geosynchronous ones.
Something I find interesting about this: what does it mean for countries who monitor and filter/block content (think China)? Presumably since this isn't using their national infrastructure they would lose all control of it, no? I wonder how those countries would respond to SpaceX wanting to let their citizens use the service. Unless I'm missing something it seems to me like they wouldn't really be able to stop it.
Or, you know, that things are getting dire. We shall see who was right though.
For me it's simple -- I really enjoy driving a manual and I mildly hate "driving" an automatic. I don't give a shit about fuel economy. Not to be rude but your tone makes it sound like you miss the point completely, which is fine, but it just makes me wonder why you would even care about having that restriction on your license to begin with...

From an outsider's perspective, CNCF seems like it would be a great fit for a project like Rethinkdb: it looks to have the forward momentum Rethink needs right now, and the proximity to other high profile projects like Kubernetes could encourage adoption.
Using the 4400 example. People pay ~20$ per month for under 10GB cellular data. So 100GB for 150 million globally people globally seems viable. If that 150 million is paying 15$ per month that's 30 billion per year. Optionally, I suspect a few customers would pay a lot more for a larger monthly cap.

The issue is the antenna needs to be around 2 foot by 2 foot.

I'm originally from Indiana. All that is actually required is that you hold a learner's permit for a set time and pass the driving and written test.

To actually learn to drive, you just gotta have an adult in the car. In theory, this is to teach you how to drive.

Outside of that, there are a few restrictions on the license after you start driving, mostly on passengers from what I can remember.

Some folks do take drivers ed, which is usually offered at the high school after school or during the summer. When folks do this, they can get their learners permit at a younger age. It is quite common in the rural areas for kids to learn to drive tractors when they are 13/14 or younger.

I was thinking about it, my credit card has always been extremely good about stuff like this. However, I use google for everything, my entire life is on it. I'd rather lose the $649 I paid for the pixel, then get blackballed from google services.

So for now, I'm just patiently awaiting their response and hopefully they'll give me the green light to mail it in for a replacement or something.
The difference is that PE funds buy companies at lower multiples due to lower growth expectations. They also buy bigger companies where there is more room for driving efficiencies and where an exit is easier to achieve.
Yes, this is certainly true. I've seen GitHub stars used as either (1) "likes", or (2) a tech to try todo list. A good git host agnostic app that covers both use cases could probably abstract enough that you could host on Bitbucket, GitLab, etc and still have people notice.

That said, if you use any of the services that provide a free hacker tier to open source projects, many only do that for GitHub projects today.

One workaround is to actually use another host, but mirror it back to GitHub.

Bruno actually was questioned on terrestrial motion:

Firstly, I say that the theories on the movement of the earth and on the immobility of the firmament or sky are by me produced on a reasoned and sure basis, which doesn’t undermine the authority of the Holy Sciptures […]. With regard to the sun, I say that it doesn’t rise or set, nor do we see it rise or set, because, if the earth rotates on his axis, what do we mean by rising and setting[…].

That was part of his defense recorded during the interrogations shortly before his executions. Sadly, I don't read Italian, so the primary source Il sommario del processo di Giordano Bruno by Angelo Mercati is inaccessible to me.

That's a pretty serious statement, the government threatens infrastructure providers all the time but I haven't heard of the FBI requiring ISP level censorship of DNS.

You were probably witnessing normal DNS propagation after the authoritative name servers had been changed. Keep in mind that the nameserver data you see in "whois" may not be up to date. When a site is seized, law enforcement goes direct to the registry (GLTD operator, such as Verisign), not the registrar.

> Integer programming is effectively searching the edge of a convex polygon...

Great definition of linear programming. In a sense the thing that makes integer programming hard is that the feasible region is not convex -- for two feasible solutions x and y, ax + (1-a)y for 0<=a<=1 is not necessarily feasible.

I'd also say that integer programming is a kind of constraint-based programming extended with the addition of an objective function -- we're not just looking for any satisfactory answer, but an answer with a cost or value that cannot be improved upon. You're definitely right that "things called constraint-based programs" tend to be solved in different ways, though (and the languages they're expressed in tend to be nicer, too.)
Timestamps and durations have been visible on the iPhone ever since it was released in 2007. I assume other smartphones do something similar. Integration with third parties is a more recent feature, it's what lets you use VoIP apps with the iPhone's native call interface, and those calls end up in the same call history that your "regular" phone calls do, which is why they're included in the syncing.
That's basically what torrents trackers do... They don't store any content.
I don't technical limitations are really the reason (I'm a GitLab fan and have observed GitLab's product accelerating much faster than GitHub's). It's just that the community has been established on GitHub for so many years.

Flask! It's Pythonic and good. Once you've done a couple of Flask projects, you can spin up a new microservice in a couple of hours. It's much lighter weight than Django, so it forces you to keep fewer moving parts in your head while hacking.

It's not misleading, the issue is that your actual phone could be actually compromised in 60 seconds time, not some giant period of guessing and trying or cracking a complicated crypto scheme. The research time isn't material to the severity of the threat at the time of attack.
Oh yes, and actually classical recordings are highly litigated over. While the pieces themselves may be in public domain, differing arrangements are often under protection, and most importantly the recordings are the property of respective rights holders. So the sheet music, melody, etc. is not protected, the rights to each recording works just like other genres of music

I've never heard of this rule, and I suspect it's more valid for tiny European cars than for pickups. If I want to take off quickly, e.g. third in line at a short left turn, I keep the pedal depressed. If I'm tired, I'll shift out of gear. If neither of those conditions holds, I might shift or I might stay on the clutch.
so you say if Europe does something, it's good. If Russia does the same thing, it's bad, because it's Russia. OK.

I just got an EULA-wall asking to agree not to treat anyone on Airbnb "with bias or judgment" based on their origins.

That's not how bias/judgment work. You can't just agree to be unbiased, though you can certainly try to be aware of your biases and to be accordingly more sensitive to situations where you may be biased.

I wonder what the impact of this is. So many people blindly click "Agree" when presented with legalese - will this be any different? Will anyone really click the button that admits they are biased? Will anyone change their conditioned behavior because they were nagged by a modal they saw one time and promptly dismissed?
You can have an HSM that encrypts the data with its own key, and merely verifies that the apple id & password match before decrypting anything, and you can destroy the private keys necessary to reprogram the HSM, so that way you can't be compelled to change it. The HSM would similarly do whatever verification is necessary when resetting the password to ensure that the rules are met.

That said, I don't know what Apple actually does. I know they use HSMs, but most of the info about how that works is about Keychain syncing, which is done a bit differently than other iCloud data syncing.

> Are copyright holders so apathetic that they won't upload older songs

Man, a lot of copyright holders don't exist anymore. Masters have been lost or destroyed, contacts have disappeared or died, labels passed hands so many times nobody is sure who owns what... Large companies own so many labels and so many catalogues, they don't even know what they own and they don't have the time or inclination to care. In many cases, royalties are split among various parties, and the record company can't be arsed to pay whoever needs to get paid, so they just stop selling anything that is not a big hit.

A few years ago, a bank in Manchester sold a building they had occupied for decades, which included a vault with safe boxes. They tracked down all the owners they could, to make sure they could move their stuff, but in many cases they didn't get a reply, so they just left the stuff there. The new owners went through the remaining boxes and found, among other things (guns, jewels etc), original master tapes for old Joy Division and New Order albums [1]. This is normal. The "industry" has always been a bit of a shambles when it comes to conservation. Heck, even the BBC reused the original Dr. Who tapes...

Cool. I might have even read that at some point in the process and lacked enough understanding of the system to know what it meant. I found the process of getting WSL installed quite confusing, so maybe I was distracted. But, reading it even now, it doesn't jump out at me that using a Windows app to mess with Linux files would be disastrous (it was not disastrous for me, but had the files been important, it would have been, as they disappeared). It sounds like it's a thing that just wouldn't work;, e.g. Windows apps wouldn't see them at all, rather than it would potentially destroy your Linux installation, which is what this blog post indicates can happen.

More than anything it was just a terrible interface.

The interface that is shown on the website is not the actual interface, it's a Flash app and looks like it hasn't been updated for about 10 years.

They have been working on a new version, but it seems like they have been working on it for quite some time now. Some features of the "Platinum" (non-flash) app were slowly being rolled out when we left, but the bulk of the app was still Flash. We stayed with it for about 6 months, and finally moved away from it about 3 or 4 months ago, this year.

completely agree. Never occur to me to use Golang for data-focused applications

among the most important criteria for me are:

parametric polymorphism (eg, a typed vector);
immutable data structures; and
exception handling (preferably monadic)

and i don't believe Golang has any of these.

As you mentioned, if one is looking for a statically typed data science language, objectively scala is hard to miss. Apache Spark is probably the most widely used "big data" tool at the moment; it's written in Scala, and while the python API is likely far more widely used, new features hit the scala API first.

(i don't know F#, but aside from the feature you mentioned, R copied it's pipe operator, |>, which i also see in a lot of scala code, usually implemented as a type class)
