Yes, forcible suppression by a state actor is definitely censorship, but not all censorship is bad.

I am generally in two minds about this because there are convincing arguments for both sides. In the US, some people have a terrible time getting a job because of a criminal conviction. Yes, they did something wrong, maybe even terrible, but does society benefit from keeping these people from obtaining gainful employment?

If society does benefit, for how many years should the individual wear the scarlet letter? At present a criminal conviction in the US is a life sentence for a lot of people. What if the government passed a law that expunged their criminal records after 7 years, but did so for the greater good of society?

The French people think that the scarlet letter is bad for their society.

IANAP so don't take my word for it, but I would assume the photons would have to be emitted EXACTLY tangentially at EXACTLY the photon sphere. Just a tiny bit earlier or later or with a tiny bit of radial momentum and the photon would eventually escape or fall into the black hole. And a real black hole is not a perfect Schwarzschild black hole, it will almost certainly have at least some charge or angular momentum, surrounding matter will change the metric somewhat. But I can not tell whether that makes it more or less likely for a photon to stay in orbit but I tend towards less likely because this seems to add more possibilities to randomly push the photon out of its orbit one way or another.

On the good side my Nexus 5x broke 1 week before it's 1 year warranty expired. Apart from the hassle of them not shipping replacement to Puerto Rico they sent me a 1 day replacement. After forwarding from Florida to Puerto Rico +4days. it was a brand new phone and didn't give me any trouble
I did have to spent like 5 days without phone while I did their troubleshooting steps.

I missed the days I had sprint where I would just go to the store and be out with a phone in a few hours.

I should add that in my mind this is akin to working around a design flaw instead of refactoring and modernizing and upgrading. The python deva have provided numerous tools one of which is the 2to3 tool for simple things.
That's a contrived example of inlining; now watch what happens when you provide more than just a trivial function which can be inlined; look at all the futzing it does with the stack:

https://godbolt.org/g/tjrKNO

without explicit direction from humans, compilers can't generate code which calls subroutines or functions without using the stack at the very minimum, and that was my point.

And that's just GCC on intel; check out intel's compiler, it's even worse (click on "turn off intel syntax", and "compile to binary and disassemble the output"):

...and if you try other processors as well, it just gets worse and worse:

If Google won't repair a manufacturing defect, consider a chargeback (assuming you bought it from Google).

Services like American Express have purchase protection, but the limits I believe won't be enough to cover the Pixel. If you were sold a lemon and Google won't hash it out, go ahead and let the card company fight that battle for you.

If enough people start doing this, you can bet Google will double down on customer service as proper cost avoidance.
I'm not trying to disprove the Bible. I'm trying to disprove the notion that Christianity is somehow "Evidence Based". You mention faith, not nitpicking, etc. Or, in short, you're pointing out that it's "Faith Based"...which I have no qualms with.
You may be right but do you have any evidence? It's too convenient for developers to just blame managers when stupid things happen.

Many lives are ruined daily by the law and the ruined lives can be innocent of the crime accused of committing.

These people have to wait years to expunge in some cases and are not living the easy life with a job that makes anything close to what software engineers make.

The US does not care if you were not found guilty of the crime or what you were accused of was dismissed. People will just see whatever in a background search and close all doors without asking the other party.

I'm not sure where all this process came from, but it sure does cost the business a ton of money without much return. I would theorize it could be an attempt to abstract the developer from the business process so the business isn't so beholden to one or a handful of people.

On a side note, I embrace source control. It allows me to run down a rabbit hole and not worry about having to get myself out of it.

To the OP: Look at popular code bases and see how they are organized. Run your debugger through them and see how they work. Organization is the key to maintainability. DRY (Don't repeat yourself) and KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) are your friend. Like anything, the more you do, the better you will become.

In the act of perceiving a message, it is impossible to separate the factual content from the presentation. At that moment, subconscious effects have already taken hold. Even conscious thought struggles to counteract that. The only really effective means is to have a prior, well-defined decision process to prevent yourself from rationalizing a subconscious decision. Even if the wording was completely objective and factual, I could still persuade by selecting which information to include, the ordering of facts, the phrasing, and even which particular, yet still objective, words I chose. In any message, influencing the recipient's perception of content through its presentation is actually unavoidable. Hence, the attempt at persuasion. Your perception of relevance could very well be subconsciously influenced from slightly "slightly irrelevant" to "relevant" by such small changes. Each marginal shift leading from a "no" to a "yes" would show up as small but relatively large changes in response rate. An increase from 0.5% to 0.75% would represent a 50% improvement in campaign performance.
You can still download the operating system for an Amiga, yet the Amiga is obsolete (despite diehards still using 31 year old computers).

Python 2 is no longer being actively developed. It receives bug fixes, and even those are scheduled to stop before too much longer. The fact that people are using Python 2 means that it's not dead, but that doesn't mean it isn't obsolete.

Think of it this way. You need a library to solve some problem, and you find one on Github. The project hasn't received any major updates in 3 years. Some people have submitted pull requests, and a few of them have even been merged, but it's clear that the maintainers are focused on other projects these days. Is that an indication that this project is simply mature and no further work is required? Or could it indicate that the maintainers want to work on other things, and this is not a priority for them any longer?

Saying that Python 2 is obsolete isn't an insult. Python 2 is popular, and loved by many, many people. It has been adopted as a teaching language by many schools, has inspired multitudes of people to learn to code, and has achieved prominence in data science, machine learning, and scientific computing. It also happens to be at the end of its lifecycle, development has moved on to Python 3, and the developers don't have much interest in maintaining Python 2 any longer.

That doesn't diminish the accomplishments of Python 2 or the people who love it. However, it does mean that the label fits.
Business publications and their core audience only understand business culture and jargon. So business articles about ESPN focus on historical revenue numbers, and talk about corporate spin-off as a means of "unlocking value", etc.

Technical publications and forums like this are largely populated by young people and early adopters (i.e. the groups most likely to be cord-cutting anyway), and tend not to be sports fans. So these discussions marvel at the fact that there are still dinosaurs who haven't cord-cut yet, and suggest that the remedy is ESPN accelerating migration to a new technical platform.

As someone who actually is an avid sports fan, and socializes with other sports fans, I'm going to throw out a third factor for your consideration. The... product... SUCKS... now! It never gets mentioned, because the "business" audience and the "technical" audience doesn't directly experience it so much. However, applying Occam's Razor, I think changes to product quality are usually the largest factor in changes to product fortunes.

ESPN has been on a long, slow shift from "hard" sports coverage to "soft" entertainment filler for years. However, over the past two years this trend has jolted toward accelerating at a breathtaking pace. For the core audience of sports fans, ESPN is basically little more than TMZ now. It's more discussion of off-field "drama" than actual sport.

Sports fans get tired of fake "QB controversies", manufactured by ESPN talking heads. They get tired of endless analysis of whether African-American franchise athletes like RGIII and Russell Wilson are "black enough". Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem was a legit story for the first week or two, but after 14 straight weeks of talk (none of which touched the underlying substance that Kaepernick is trying to call attention to)... I think sports fans of all political persuasion are long past done hearing about it.

TL;DR - ESPN is a sports network. It has dramatically shifted away from serious sports coverage over the past two years. Their core audience is growing sour on them, and subscriptions are dropping. I believe that everything beyond this is just ancillary factors.
The reason COBOL is obsolete is because there are no useful programs which are easiest to express in COBOL anymore, unless you are already using COBOL. It us truly obsolete in a way unrelated to fashion. Even if somebody were to supply the tooling, writing apps in COBOL would not be as productive as using a more modern language. It just lacks the expressiveness.

For comparison, C is not obsolete because a lot of useful programs are easiest to express in C still. I'd argue that C is obsolete for App development too, but there will be people who disagree with that.

Some tablets also have this issue.

We had it with the Iconia W700p tablet line from Acer. Bubbles form at random under the digitizer (months to years, single small bubble to multiple large bubbles). They move when heat is applied and over time, hinting that it's a digitizer glue issue as the product produces heat it is not capable of handling.

Well, I use the mainline since I would like to start contributing sometime later. Also, I have a custom bootloader set up that managed to integrate nicely with Secure Boot, VMWare modules have to be recompiled with almost every kernel update since it breaks the Virtual device monitor and I had to write a script to automate that patching process.

Video tearing has been a constant problem if you use any type of compositer like Compton or the one that comes with XFCE or GNOME. I tried it on various systems and the tearing is there. A lot of people don't seem to mind though. For some reason, the Ubuntu maintainers don't think my hardware (or rather all laptops) should have the capability to hibernate to disk so they disable the /sys/disk (Im not sure I got the correct filename) which enables suspend to disk (this is one of the reasons why I need to use mainline anyway). PulseAudio doesn't play nice with DACs, ALSA is a pain to set up.

I really like Linux (so much that I keep 'ricing' my system) but these are the kinds of things that I'd rather not spend my time on.

"A great deal of pontificating has been done recently on the depths and dangers of “fake news,”"

The DNC (and DNC-linked media) needed some reason for why Hillary lost the election that didn't involve admitting that she was a terrible candidate.

Hence why "fake news" went from being not talked about to being talked about in the media repeatedly all of a sudden because it's a narrative that fits.
Well, no; it doesn't really even impact whether you pay dividends/taxes or not, but it does impact when you pay them. It's not that difficult to shift things across financial years, although eventually you'll show the profit/loss accurately, cumulatively.
Initiating a chargeback is tantamount to terminating your Google Account at a random time in the future when they find in your favor.
> The echoes could be a statistical fluke, and if random noise is behind the patterns, says Afshordi, then the chance of seeing such echoes is about 1 in 270, or 2.9 sigma. To be sure that they are not noise, such echoes will have to be spotted in future black-hole mergers. “The good thing is that new LIGO data with improved sensitivity will be coming in, so we should be able to confirm this or rule it out within the next two years.”

Can I take a moment to commend the level-headed non-hype of this paragraph? It gives the impression that their first priority is finding the "truth" (I know, I know; I'm using it as a shorthand), not whatever they want to be confirmed. Gives the research much more credibility.

I mean, I know it's Nature so we should expect it, but it's still nice to see.
To be clear: we are not disputing that Google should comply with the right to be forgotten in Europe. We have worked diligently to give effect to the rights confirmed by the European Court of Justice. We have delisted approximately 780,000 URLs to date and have granted fast and effective responses to individuals who assert their rights.

But you haven't done that for the United States, which makes it clear Google wants to play Big Brother, where legally not disallowed to do so. Else, Google would have proactively implemented this for everyone across the board, and where that is not legally possible, Google would have diligently lobbied the authorities like it does when it is in Google's interest.

The whole thing is a farce; if Google weren't legally pressured, they would never do this because it cuts into their business model of living off of people's privacy. Clever opinion manipulation attempt with "every country should be able to choose", but not clever enough; there should be no attempt at manipulation to begin with, Mr. Global Privacy Counsel. As a privacy counsel, You shouldn't even be making these arguments, Mr. Global Privacy Counsel!
That is probably true, but then you also have to look at the merit of those experiences. His fight has essentially been trying to make programming a "respected profession", where you contributions and time is respected. If that's the environment you're trying to create, then side projects are less important. Since your best work, excitement and learning is supposed to happen at work. Side projects might even undermine your efforts since programmers at worse workplaces compensate by having more exciting side projects. So I think the perspective is less that side projects are bad and more that work should be good enough that side projects (that leads to commercial products rather than hobbies) become unnecessary.
I have a feeling this could be one of those stories on HN where it gets a bunch of upvotes but not very much discussion.

I don't want to speak for an industry, but I don't see it used very much in practice in investing anymore, mostly because firms nowadays seem to make much smaller bets much more frequently( think HFT firms) so even pension funds that don't do investments under say $20-$30 million are usually doing sizes that amount to 1/50 of Kelly.

It may have use for very small individual investors, think someone with under $100,000 to invest that wants to pick their own holdings and not jut buy the market via an ETF.

Having said that, if you want to work on the buy side soon er or later someone will ask you about it during an interview so its in your best interest to understand it.

If one would like to do something in this space I'd go with a solution where you can rent the equipment, get it shipped to you in boxes and ship it back later. For larger organisers you could arrange for leasing options or an on-premise installation that has an auto-update.

It's a total mess. Just f* the law and pretend that everything is alright when you do the certifications :D

Intel actually gave about 1.25B$ to AMD in 2009, in order to rid itself of an unfair competition and patent claim. This helped AMD to stay afloat. Without it, Intel would be in an effective monopoly position and that would bring in all sorts of restrictions (due to competition laws particularly in the US and EU) it doesn't want to have.
