The US relies on air power tho if you look at BDA imagery released not a small percentage of the so called drone strikes are more likely than not to have been conducted by mannned strike fighters as drones can't carry things that would leave that big of a crater.

Again, I think first-world children over the age of 3 have been exposed to plenty of drawings like that, and also, Google can recognize it as a cat anyway -- in fact, it even knows which cat; do an Image Search and you'll see, "Best guess for this image: garfield meme"
I imagine packages that bridge react components with redux (react-redux, react-router-redux, redux-forms, redux-immutable). But I'm not sure to be honest.
Yeah, that bit seemed slightly out of touch... but that wasn't really the point of the article, and if you look beyond that and just consider the big picture idea, I think the author is absolutely right.
Some ideas that I think are outside of the wheelhouse of typical Silicon Valley thought leaders:

1) Mike Bloomberg: Talk about founding and tech development of Bloomberg Professional Service (don't talk about politics at all)

2) Judy Faulkner: Founder and CEO of EPIC systems, a large privately held Hospital EHR vendor (Epic is one of the largest and most insular tech companies in the world)

3) Jack Ma: Founder of Alibaba

4) Pierre Omidyar: Founder Ebay

5) Bill Gates and/or Steve Ballmer

6) Mark Cuban

More traditional Silicon Valley:

1) Larry Ellison: CEO of Oracle

2) Marc Benioff: CEO/Founder Salesforce

3) Paul Buccheit: Talk about gmail and early Google R&D product only

4) Matt Cutts: Get him to tell us how SEO really works

5) Scott Cook: Founder Intuit

6) Jeff Bezos: Founder/CEO Amazon

7) Tony Fadell: iPod Designer & CEO of Nest

Sorry for the offtopic, but I have to post this evergreen text:

>> There is voting, of course, but to become an informed voter all one needs to do is read a short guide about the candidates and issues before the election. There’s no need to have to suffer through the daily back-and-forth of allegations and counter-allegations, of scurrilous lies and their refutations. Indeed, reading a voter’s guide is much better: there’s no recency bias (where you only remember the crimes reported in the past couple months), you get to hear both sides of the story after the investigation has died down, you can actually think about the issues instead of worrying about the politics.

No they won't there is an upper limit to flight and if by some means these drones would be closer to space than to the ground you put those weapons in space or on high altitude tethered platforms.
Throw expressions are particularly welcome. I'd previously dealt with that issue by creating a static method that returned the expected type, but just threw an exception [1][2]

I'm not sure it's explicit in the blog, but it seems the deconstructor will be useful for pattern-matching using 'is'.

Tuples. Yay! Finally!

Pattern-matching-switch-statement: Not an expression. That's a bad call. We have expression based ternary, throws, method bodies, and LINQ; switches are the last and most painful omission.

Local functions: Fantastic for libraries like mine, which is trying to bring functional programming to the C# world, but takes a hit with the allocation of delegates for common operations [3] It should be a boon for anything LINQ based (implementations, rather than usage).

Return by ref and out parameters: I'd be happy if they just removed them from the language. Ugly, error magnets.

All in all, good progress. Hopefully they can make more progress on facilitating expression-based programming, and bring in record types for the next release. The pain of creating immutable types is truly tedious. And I'd desperately like to see partial generic parameter specifying (for when one of the generic arguments can't be inferred by the type-system, so you then end up having to specify them all).

So you basically came up with a HackerRank for sysadmins, in other words,

Because there is in fact no such thing as a "white person".

Believe it or not, there is a coherent shared cultural identity of American black people, most of whom are descended from slaves brought here from Africa who had their original cultures stripped from them, and who belonged to a community segregated against legally into the 1970s. That those people came from several different countries on the continent of Africa is of little meaning, because their culture was deliberately cut off from its roots, and was built largely anew in the United States.

Your inclination is to assume that if "black culture" is a thing, then "white culture" must also be a thing. No, that is not the case. What there is in addition to "black culture" is:

* Irish-American culture, which has a museum, parades, and a holiday,

* Italian-American culture, which has a museum, parades, and a holiday,

* German-American culture, which has a museum and parades,

* Polish-American culture, which has a museum, parades, and a holiday

I can go on.

The notion that there is some notional "white culture" is artificial, a lie begun in earnest in the 20th century. No, really. Before "white culture", the Anglo- and Germanic-American communities in the US targeted Italians, the Irish, and the Polish (as well as Catholics of all nationalities). When the writing appeared on the wall for end of Jim Crow, "white culture" emerged as a solidarity movement among those people prejudiced against blacks and black culture.

This is a big part of why talking about "white history museums" generates so much flak. It's ahistorical, doesn't make much cultural sense (the Irish and Germans do not in fact have a huge overlap in music, art, language, or food), but is very much connected to 20th century racism. It's an Occam's Razor problem: the simplest thing to conclude someone would be talking about with a "white history museum" is racism.

People can hardly be blamed for wondering aloud about this stuff. After all: practically every government form you fill out asks your race, and has "white" as an option. These forms aren't all designed to perpetuate racism --- in fact, most of the forms that offer you the option of declaring yourself "white" have the opposite intention. But the concept of "whiteness" actually does derive from racism (again: the concept of "Irish-Americanness" does not!), and while the concept of "blackness" does as well, black people really do have an important, coherent, complex, historically rich culture built inside that racist framework we forced them into.

Two thoughts:

1. Right now, you can't evade liability by shutting down a corporation.

2. Law firms will have the technology to act just as quickly as other corporations. If a secretary of state's office can accept a complete corporate formation via API call, then court systems will probably be able to accept case filings similarly.
Amen on the trackpad and keyboard alignment issue - for many other "Pro" laptops (looking at you Lenovo) is horrible. Is 10-key desired so much for these laptops that the alignment of the trackpad is off? Who signed off on this design atrocity? [1]

I tried to use a coworker's Lenovo the other day and the offset keyboard drove me batty. I couldn't imagine trying to use that one on a lap-pad.

ignoring environmental protection costs for monetary success is mostly short-term planning and will - i'm a software developer, so i'll take this as a comparison - have the same consequences as short term planning and accumulating technical debt in software development. see it as an indirect investment in infrastructure that ultimately benefits everyone (but also you). you can't run a factory without government funded roads and railways, aka funded by your tax payer money.

it's the same for environmental expenses: skimp now, and you might not have a market to sell to in a decade.

so, if you outsource to another country it wont help in the long term because climate is global.

that much is clear. the rest is sufficiently explained by dawkins stable dove-hawk systems. you might want to try to gamble the system for personal gain, but if everyone does it, it'll collapse and everyone dies. so you shouldn't and protest transgression by others, otherwise the system might collapse.

i'm convinced you can play fair and still make a profit.
They are, and I've done both. But I think two things will limit the majority of people doing the latter: it's expensive, and some experiences are getting very crowded and even limited by ticket.

Things like The Wave, Half Dome, etc are already on permit/lottery systems. Other places are so crowded that it seriously impacts the experience (parts of the Louvre, the Vatican).

Visiting the Sahara from Morocco requires flights, mixture of land travel including hiring a car or driver, procuring camels and so on. Fine for anyone remotely adventurous, but daunting and expensive for others.
that's what I thought, the startup castle, does not look like a YC company.
Does that mean that he was effectively fired? I can't help but think there must be some additional context as to why he was terminated and not transitioned to another role (assuming my understanding of the situation is correct). Is Apple really doing that bad?
> is it not randomizing ones chance to win?

In a way, yes. But that's not the purpose. If you play ranked games, or any games of skill really, playing a completely mismatched game is just no fun. Imagine you want to play basketball for example, but you can't choose who you're playing with - you turn up and you're with a 2yo baby against NBA pros. Or the other way around. If there's no realistic challenge people will just lose interest.

This is a useless comment unless you tell us what you don't like about them.
Awesome. I would very much like to quit and will give that a go. It's not the quitting I dread, it's the deep, perilous dread I feel when withdrawl begins, only an hour or two after the last. I know rationally I can do it, I go 6-8 hours a night nic-free while sleeping and am not jonesing when I wake up.
Sad day. Sal is and has been the biggest cheerleader for macOS automation technologies ever.
What a shame. I really thought we'd see some interesting developments in the macOS automation space, as only a couple of years ago JS was introduced as a scripting language alongside AScript. However, this is worrying as there are so so many individuals who rely on bespoke, fine-grained task automation (and not just glossy consumer apps) to use their Mac productively.
What about monitors?
NT was called "New Technology" literally because it was a new technology. It was based on the NT kernel (which is used now) as opposed to the 9x/MS-DOS kernels used in 1.0-Me.

Also, NT came before 95. Specifically, as Windows NT 3.1.
Ah yes. Basically, tokio is mio + futures.
Right. People just need to leave their bubbles, read from a variety of sources, and not rely on their friends for news.

To clarify...

I'm on a Mac. Tried it scoped to console and evaluations were not instant, but decent. Certainly slower than the Mono REPL. Then tried it scoped to Android and even after everything was warmed up the evaluations were still quite slow.

EU already get's more electricity from Renewables than Nuclear power so WTF are you smoking?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_Europe...

Electricity by source in 2014
Wind: 51.4 TWh (9.7%)
Solar: 32.8 TWh (6.2%)
Biomass: 53 TWh (10.0%)
vs
Nuclear: 91.8 TWh (17.2%)

Biomass can be used for Peaking power and can fill gaps in wind and solar.
You need a certificate signed by an Imam, which you can likely get at your local Islamic center. Challenges include convincing the Imam that you're not just getting it to sneak into Mecca, and being able to answer follow-up questions at the roadblock in Mecca, such as, "So you're Muslim, eh? Tell us the Five Pillars."
Assuming it's a skill based game but you never make an attempt to get better - I see the similarities. My question is: how is that different then a sport with leagues putting players at similar skill levels - is that just gambling too since they are so close in skill the game could go either way?

Many modern games have a ladder or elo system that you can only improve though increasing your ability to win (i.e. NOT just playing). I'd argue there is at least some value in taking enjoyment from improving yourself at any task. With that said if you are stuck at the 50% winloss playing over and over again you are probably trending to gambling addiction.

NSA Head Openly Accuses Russia of Using Wikileaks to Get Trump Elected
It's worth it, imo. I was in your boat a few months back and hated every minute of it. With that said, i'm still not 100%. I semi-regularly see syntax that makes me go "Wat is what!?", but then i sit for a moment and understand it. Rust introduces a lot of visual baggage and that seems to cause me syntax blindness.. not enjoyable.

Unfortunately though, i'm back on Go. I want to be on Rust, but i had to pick a language for work and i can't ask my Team to go through what i did. Rust, despite the safety, is too unnatural for our larger codebase.

Luckily i think Rust has seated itself as the language we will use if the need is truly there. Unfortunately though, not everything.. just the specific things that need it.
No, large-scale demonstrations are just going to make "them" feel like they have to fight harder (for most values of "them").
I completely agree. Having a more semantic structure rather than "anything goes" HTML can only be a good thing for the state of emailing in 2016.

Many high profile websites don't even bother sending a text/plain alternative with their emails anymore and the HTML is often cryptic when viewed from a text browser. Anything that can improve this is a good thing.

I do have a minor beef with this implementation however: at first I assumed that this metadata would be stored in custom email header (X-Mail-Action or whatever) but as far as I understand it's embedded in the HTML instead. It would make it more painful to add support for that to existing clients, especially if they use external tools to display HTML.

Since the software is OSS, what is it that they're selling? Looking at the (impressive) demos, they surely did not create the raw data (3d models, textures), or did they?

I'm wondering because it'd make a nice addition to a commercial website I run, but the 3000 views/month is pretty much exactly what I would expect in a normal month, but it's not important enough to "contact sales" to accommodate peak months or growth.

Also, when using it, I activated the coordinates-finding mode (crosshair cursor) and couldn't get out of it again (Safari). And keyboard navigation didn't work.
Highly relevant given current events.
Games are large codebases often not replacing the OS standard calls (which is where replacing C with Rust becomes problematic as you start breaking the standard library) that would benefit insanely from the safeties and default saneness Rust gives developers.

Any time you work in a large team in a corporate environment you want a language that lets you stab yourself in the foot as little as possible.

In general, the shadow DOM will have positive impacts on performance. Right now when you insert an element on a page it inherits all of the CSS of that page and must be evaluated accordingly, whereas a shadow DOM element can have a very small set of styles associated with it. These benefits won't be realized until the shadow DOM is fully implemented, however.

C is a smaller language to learn.

There are engineers with 20 years of C programming experience that will still make security errors while handling basic strings. "Small" does not mean "good" and "learning" a language doesn't mean you'll write good code with it.

Check out tmail21. (https://tmail21.com) It is designed to be more productive than email, especially for teams. It is not designed to completely replace email, but we have seen 80% reductions in use by our customers in work contexts.

Now, it is not built on Blockchain technology, but has the same characteristic of an immutable append-only ledger. To be more precise, each thread is like a permissioned, append-only micro-ledger. So, really there are thousands of append-only ledgers rather than one gigantic ledger.

The append-only ledgers make things like certified mail, proof of delivery, guaranteed delivery, certified appends (mutations), non-repudiability etc. natural byproducts.

It does not have as a goal the disintermediation of the 'middle' like Blockchain does.

I think the sheer amount of press coverage that Trump got made him stand out of the pack.

Really I think a lot of the negative coverage Trump got could have been beneficial to him. For instance, if you are looking for somebody who is going to "shake up Washington", then denunciations from Republicans such as Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan add to his credibility.

Have used Ember since early 2012 (just when it transitioned from SproutCore). Fairly large application (~80 routes, ~60 models).

## Stability
Overall very well, we've never done any rewrite (apart from a coffee-script -> JS conversion, but that had nothing to do with Ember).

## Updates
Upgrades has been easily, except for the early days. But since 1.5 or so it's worked really well.

## Addons
There is a lot of power in the Ember ecosystem, but it also stays away from some things (widgets etc) which I think is great. For, say, a date-picker you'd use an addon (https://www.emberaddons.com/?query=date) or build something yourself.

## Progress
Despite having used the framework for several years it's still very modern. Ember has done a good job of keeping up with new technologies without causing unnecessary pain for developers. ES6 modules, good alignment with web-components, ES6 classes, modern tooling etc. None of this wasn't in place in 2012, but Ember has managed to bring it all on board without causing upgrade issues or painful breaking changes.
