In America, AFAIK, if the court wanted to declare that, as the article claims, "Irish law is [not] in compliance with [EU charter] Article 107", it would be forced to strike down the whole law; for example, Brown v. Board of Education did not desegregate one school in Arkansas but rather the whole system.

That the court can declare the law invalid as applied to Apple while retaining it for every other company in Ireland is clearly a violation of the ideal of fair treatment, if not the rule of law in the first place.

5 Customer Survey Strategies You Need to Know Now
Update for AirPort Base Stations with Back to My Mac Bug Fix
I sort of want to make an RfC for 2.0 preparation. I am mostly on team "never 2.0", but I recognize that I am sadly not overlord of all things Rust (if I were we'd have stable emoji identifiers already) and it's quite possible that 2.0 will happen some day.

The idea is to come up with a set of processes for 2.0. If the community decides to do a breaking 2.0 for some reason, we should:

- Document exactly what has changed.

- Write extensive docs on upgrading

- Write good tools that do the upgrade for you when possible, and point out areas where they can't help with links to docs.

- Make it so that the cases where stuff isn't machine-upgradeable are minimal

- Be wary of actually removing deprecated APIs.

- Be wary of unnecessary extra breakage.

Python 3 took the attitude of "Okay, we're going to be breaking some things anyway, so let's break more!". I think that they had good reasons for doing that; and it makes sense in a way. But we may not want to follow the same philosophy.
The Startup Tapes: Why Objective Signals for Company Growth Matter
Ask HN: How do you manage your event tracking and analytics?
- Do you not do this?
- Do you integrate individually with specific platforms like Mixpanel/GA etc?
- Do you use Segment?

I am a Segment.com customer, but their new pricing model is going to cost me 10x the plan I'm currently grandfathered into. There don't appear to be any alternatives to Segment - so much so that I'm thinking of building a similar service with a different pricing/business model.

What do people think about that idea?
A bit pedantic, I suppose, but Y2K problems showed up well ahead of Y2K. Things like credit cards with expiration dates well in the future, and validation code making comparisons.
> I think if you read the actual claim they make, and then you go read the description of the Double Irish accounting trick on wikipedia

Apple doesn't actually employ the double Irish as traditionally defined - the second half of the double Irish arrangement involves transferring profits to a company outside of Ireland (typically in a Caribbean tax haven). Apple doesn't do this. Their overseas profits remain in their Irish subsidiary, where they have a very low tax rate (which is what is being challenged by the EU).

I think, ironically, that if Apple had fully implemented the double Irish arrangement (like many other multinational companies), the EU commission would not be able to go after Apple using this "favorable treatment" line of inquiry.
> If a general contractor builds you the house you demanded 6 months ago but your not happy with it now, who's fault is that?

Blame is not easily assigned in this scenario. If your requirements changed have you conveyed these changes to the builder? Did the builder periodically reach out to checkpoint with you and get feedback? Communication is a two way street. No professional developer anymore can turn off their E-mail and phone and "turtle up" in their office, coding away in a vacuum. Only the most trivial software can be developed that way.
We are all - even the exceptional among us - essentially earning dividends on the long history of human advancements to this point. Society should compensate people from whom it has taken the opportunity to hunt/gather/homestead as part of the cost of developing a complex civilization.

Society exists for the benefit of the humans who comprise it.

That's all well and dandy, but what about asking financial services to step up their own security? There comes a point where neglecting your own security foils anyone else's attempts to do so for you.

Thing is, every macro system is a ((hygienic macro) system), because you can write hygienic macros with any system. The latter parse makes more sense to me, as it relates that it's a system designed to enable hygienic macros beyond what a direct transformer would provide.

The IPB is slightly tainted by the Snowden disclosures. It's an interesting thought experiment to apply Snowden's revelations to newly implemented surveillance measures by any government. Snowden produced documents which gave us all an intimate understanding of the mechanics and operational details of the NSA & GCHQ. It is clear that the apparatus is already in place for spying and is only a quick click away from being galvanized by broad and sweeping laws which allow such apparatus to operate out in the open.

I think the masses are not scared enough to encrypt their communications and that's why such an apparatus has crept in so brashly and abruptly, sort of a 'surveillance creep'.

The moment the masses are conscious of the fact we are going through our second 'crypto war' is also the moment they might encrypt. Not that crypto is some munition they can use, as is wrongly spouted by the cypherpunks (IMHO), but that crypto can provide viable amounts of privacy for their needs and it doesn't need to be absolute privacy as spouted by the 'go dark' movement. Just enough that I can surf the web without my eyeball hours being monetized or that the pressure cooker I am interested in buying is not a potential tool to be used in a terrorist attack several weeks later.

Prince wasn't super high on my list until I saw him live twice 7-8 years ago. Blew my mind. Almost entirely different repertoire both times. Completely in a league of his own. Amazing energy, musicianship, really incredible player, and he wasn't young anymore either but just kept hitting it hard. Played a show like that every day in London for weeks. Plus afterparties a couple of times a week where he would play for hours sometimes. It was probably the best live show I have ever been to.

Stevie has a special place for me as a songwriter but as a performer Prince was next level. Different artists, love both
I disagree - instead of calling it 'charming' i would extrapolate it to: 'a lot of art is about sexually rooted behaviour - music is made to find a mate'. I don't think that's true, because, and thats one of the main points here; serial music was never regarded as resembling anything in the vicinity of 'charming'. serial music is more like pandoras box for music, and it happened at the same time as computers where invented, shortly after ww2.
And the fruits of serial music are massive, but they all taste bitter.
For one thing, they're stable, have consistent progress between releases, don't take eons between releases, and provide pretty much the exact same functionality.

Perhaps the implementation is no better (since it's all just relatively simple CSS), but having timely releases is a big plus in my opinion, something which TB4 has failed to deliver for what, over two years now?

Why not just use flexboxgrid and throw a few quick base classes for buttons and whatnot together? It's smaller in size and provides equal grid functionality, which is really the primary value of CSS frameworks anyway.
I was just noting tempo in other art forms last night. I went to a theatrical performance of the play The Lion in Winter (the perfect Christmas story for anyone who has ever wanted to lock their families in a dungeon for the holiday, or gets sick of parents openly playing favorites with kids just to spite each other). I kept comparing it in my mind to the film version, starring Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn. The film version just feels faster and snappier than the theatrical version did. Same dialog, same characters, same scenes, just faster. The movie was less funny and more dramatic than the play.
Thanks for your openness.

I assume you've already done so based on a few of your word choices, but if you haven't already, I recommend checking out Peak [0], the latest (2015) work by Anders Ericsson. He's the researcher who came up with the "10,000 Hours Rule" as popularized by Gladwell. I thought the book had useful suggestions such as how to make sure you're achieving deliberate practice, how to get better when you don't have a coach, or what do for yourself (or as a parent for a child) when considering quitting an endeavor. Ericsson also shares reflections on what folks mistake about his research (i.e. 10K hours was merely the mean for one of his studies.), while clarifying the approach you SHOULD take as supported by his research.

In AMD's case, I think at least some of the loyalty to them is more than fanboyism. They're the only competitor to Intel in the desktop CPU space and Nvidia in the GPU space, and they're in a much more precarious financial position than either competitor. If AMD go away, both of those markets become completely monopolized. So in a way, it is to everyone's benefit to disproportionately support AMD.
I don't have experience with medical ultrasound, but I have built a few basic ultrasonic systems around a PC or a single board computer for structural testing applications. If you're not doing phased array ultrasonics you can build a system for under $1000USD, possibly less if you can use PVDF instead of PZT. The expensive part is the software.

How New York Is Pushing Companies to Do Much Better at Cybersecurity
Many Mac users, including myself, feel that the new MacBook Pro is inferior to the MacBook Pro it replaced. And for Mac desktop users, the situation is the Mac Mini hasn't been upgraded in two years, and the Mac Pro hasn't been upgraded in three years. And, once again, the current Mac Mini is a downgrade from its predecessor (and some may even argue that about the current Mac Pro over its tower predecessor). Sure, we can keep chugging on with our old hardware, but eventually our hardware will fail, and our options will either be to replace it with overpriced, deliberately crippled hardware if we want to stay in the OS X ecosystem or to switch away from OS X and deal with the inconveniences of Windows and/or desktop Linux. We can work with and deal with either option; heck I could get my work done with an old Pentium II laptop running Windows ME if I had to, but it's just not the same and is worse than what we had before. That's what we're lamenting.
Technology - especially the technology required for a network of self-driving cars- creates the possibility of catastrophic failure. A multi-car pileup is a tragedy, a multi-highway pileup is a catastrophe.
Also, losing control is generally psychologically unpleasant. I'm not sure we should exclude this from the cost/benefit ledger.
I don't see why it assumes there is only one program. If the world value is impossible to inspect (which it is), you can assign whatever semantics you like to it.

If you look at the generated core code, it's important to notice that it's not the same "token" being passed around everywhere. Each IO action returns a new token, which could be a different value from the old token. (Again, this is entirely theoretical, as the token/world state doesn't exist in the binary.)
Yeah; I know it sounds evil and this shouldn't be done but why not just make a new branch from the borked master, force push master back to sanity (pre-massive merge), have everyone else cherry pick and push their commits and then just rebase new branch and fix the conflicts in there as you should and merge normally?

It seems unintuitive to me that manipulating a graph via a GUI should be the wrong way to operate. I find it difficult to imagine this argument would be made if git were not the DVCS of choice.

I would say, though, that the ideal GUI for a DVCS has probably not been invented yet.
This seems a great compromise. In my company there is a team that works similarly. They come in one day per week or one week per month.
The general thinking is

* use CSS Grid for layout in 2 dimensions. Page level layout essentially

* use Flexbox for layout in 1 dimension. "module" level layout.

These are not hard and fast rules, like much in CSS.
I don't think it's age. It's a lot more relevant to me as a parent (of 2). I suspect it has to do with how much time and energy you need to invest in the activities near where an Echo would be.

I was most excited to hook the Echo up to home automation, but I haven't yet because the special bulbs and plug adapters are too expensive.

Instead, my wife and I use it heavily for:

* Timers: We set these a lot to multitask. Filling the bath, cooking, whatever.

* Weather: While getting ourselves and the kids ready in the morning, we usually ask about the weather for today to figure out which sweater/coat combinations need to happen.

* Shopping: We are constantly running out of things. We can quickly say "Add ___ to the shopping list." Even if we don't actually order from Amazon, later I can pull up the list on my phone. Plus, using IFTTT, the items get copied to my iOS Reminders list, which is shared with my wife.

I was incredibly fortunate in that I had a high school teacher yank me back from cutting classes, getting further behind in math (her class) with a mixture of "you can do this, Mark" and "let's go through the problems together."

I believe it was geometry leading into trigonometry, and since these classes were very susceptible to incremental learning and almost impossible without it (new work is based on older work/learning) it saved my bacon.

It served to switch me back from "I can't get this" to "I can figure this out" again.

I now see that much of my life's successes are due to growth mindset and perseverance.

Thermodynamics constrains interpretations of quantum mechanics
I think you are missing the point.

A 10MHz transducer will be resonant at 10MHz. If you drive it with a square wave at 10MHz, it will naturally respond best at frequencies that are 10MHz, and will very poorly respond to frequencies that are not 10MHz. Thus, a 10MHz square wave driving a 10MHz transducer will produce a pretty good 10MHz sine wave sound signal. This does depend on how sharp the resonance is of the transducer, but it shouldn't be that hard.

Ignoring that, creating a 10MHz RF sine wave isn't that hard using classical analog techniques: wifi chips in modern computers create a 5MHz carrier wave that can be amplified and doubled with some cheap off the shelf parts.

I think one of the problems of "but this is just a small engineering project" is precision, reliability, quality-- whatever you want to call it.

There is interpretation that goes into reading an EKG, an xray, lab results. If there's any unreliability whatsoever, that will impact treatment and outcomes.

If there's any unreliability in your EKG readout, that's can be the different between diagnosing a minor heart attack versus chest pain.

The same goes for diagnosing a cancerous tumor from a benign one. There's already ambiguity and interpretation; if there's any imprecision in the measuring device, that's going to lead to bad outcomes-- both overtreatment and undertreatment.
