> You have a very specific use case, if you can buy a bike that goes 40km/hr on a deserted road, you'll also be able to use that same 40km/hr bike on crowded urban bike paths.

Right, just like people who buy Teslas that can go 200+km/h can take those cars to the residential street with 15km/h limit and children playing in the street. We make laws that apply to the operator of the vehicle, instead of deciding a maximum safe speed for cars of 15km/h and applying a limiter to every car's engine. That's my whole point - the law should apply to how the engine is used, same as most every other class of vehicle out there.

You can go to App Store -> Settings and change "Free Downloads" to "Save Password". I get prompted only to sudo when doing app and OS updates.

With that said, I'm still confused about this 'fiasco'. There is signing into the computer, and signing into various services. One of those services happens to be iCloud/apple account. I'm sure you are having some issues, but most do not.

Why You Should Be Thankful?
I would love to limit games to those with no IAPs and a fixed up front cost, no advertising, and no dial-home advertising toolkit integration.

It's almost impossible to do in any practical sense, and that's extremely frustrating.
Thanks. That might be it.

I actually disabled hardware acceleration because of a macOS Sierra but that would keep logging me out.

Will try messing with the settings.

I'd argue the instinct to go native for desktop apps is no longer valid without taking other things into consideration--it depends entire on the type of app. There are compelling desktop choices besides native.
A single sales tax rate alone is only a (small) part of the equation: some classes of goods are taxed differently (e.g. raw food vs. cooked meals, fast food, alcohol), and different jurisdictions levy additional taxes that may vary inside a geographic area. There are city/town taxes, county taxes, state taxes, and sometimes, additional tax overlay districts where the money goes to some specific fund for an improvement.

So you'd want to be able to specify the class of product and a very fine-grained geographical location as inputs to your function, with the hopes that it will produce an accurate and preferably unambiguous result.
not to mention thousands of people willing to work tedious shifts and live in cramped quarters. People willing to leave their villages and move wherever the opportunity presents. People who culturally respect authority of their superiors. People whose memory of dire poverty is still fresh.

Contrast that with Americans who have been told from birth that they are special and their life is exceptional, a philosophy that doesn't gel very well with tedious work at factories.
Can it even store biometric data for you if it doesn't know who you are?

That's a weirdly phrased question, since your biometric data is, by definition, part of "who you are".

I was under the assumption that it's only stored if your profile is linked with your face in a photo.

My comment has more do with the base concept of "don't want to be tracked, don't use their service" as a general concept for any service, rather than FB specific (which is why I gave a non-FB example). That said, I don't know if the rumors of "shadow profiles" are true or not. There is no technical reason why an image with two people in it (one of him which they already have) tagged with a comment of "Me and my wife on our honeymoon", couldn't be parsed given current NLP and face recognition capabilities.

This is another semantic game, along the same lines as "it depends on what your definition of 'is' is": the hacking allegedly took place during the election season and involved the disclosure of information about a candidate and their campaign staff, so it technically can be called "election hacking".

But of course calling it such also makes it sound like actual votes were affected, which nobody has claimed at this point.

Using this terminology not only brings attention to a potentially serious issue, but allows one party to undermine the legitimacy of the other's election victory.

About half the IT professionals in Japan have never changed jobs, compared with 14 percent in the U.S. and 21 percent in China, according to the METI survey.

Not true, you can't base Japanese salaries on US salaries. Countries have different currencies with different buying power. Salaries are based on the local market.

Even in US, we see such broad differences between CA, NY and say OH and TN.

There are many companies that do much more in revenue with sites like that, yes.
My advice is to identify potential clients and cold call even though cold calling is harder than doing something less effective. One way I've heard to make dealing with the rejection it entails easier is to measure the number of rejections rather than the number of leads.

In terms of what to build, build something that solves someone else's problem. Essentially, build a product. 'How much does an app cost' websites don't do that because they're focused on solving your problem (getting clients) rather than the clients' problems in their business domains.

To put it another way, build something that shows people that you have the skill and knowledge to solve one of their business problems rather than building something that generates leads.

It's maturing rapidly and has proven to be very stable so far.

Our Tokyo office is really difficult to staff. Remembering the whole job for life culture - you just can't hire experienced people you have to hire graduates and then train them up. So if you want someone with 10 years experience you have to have hired someone 10 years ago. Of course you can't fire them if you decide you didn't need so many.

So we hire many foreigners which aren't easy to come by either, and do most dev work elsewhere.

If the 2008 crisis hadn't happened, do you really think interest rates would be where they are now? I think it's easy to imagine a very different tail on that curve post-2008, which would have left the 2003 low intact.

If you're asking Krugman to have predicted the 2008 crisis in 2003, I think that's a bit much.
Of course. See this marketing video from FaceFirst, which powered the retail application mentioned above.[1] They offer cloud-based facial recognition as a service. "FaceFirst maintains a massive, centrally managed database and server farm at our headquarters."

Since much of their input comes from video, they get lots of pictures of each individual and combine them. This improves accuracy. They use the Cognitec face matching algorithm.

WalMart tried FaceFirst in 2015, and gave up on it.[2] "We were looking for a concrete business rationale ... It didn’t have the ROI."

"Liberal" means different things in Europe and the US. In Europe, it's more along the lines of "classic liberal", which is not left-leaning, particularly, although The Economist does espouse some things that some elements of the left in the US do, such as legalization of drugs and gun control. They have also endorsed Democrats in the presidential elections, such as Hillary, as well as Republicans, in the past.

It's perfectly possible to disagree with them on a variety of issues, but pigeonholing them as 'left' or 'right' is inaccurate.
That's not a japanese phenomen. In the german automotive industry it's the same thing - and it's one of the reasons I left one of the big german OEMs.

Salaries are very fixed at those companies. You will start at around 50k€ after university, advance to 70-80€ during the next years and will be basically stuck there. The corporations have defined fixed salary levels together with the unions and these don't contain any "super-complex", "in-demand" or "rockstar" levels. It doesn't even matter whether you are doing mechanical engineering, software, or powerpoint engineering. There exist higher salaries, but only for team leads and above - which mostly don't perform technical work anymore.

Whether the device constantly streams data or sends it every once in awhile is irrelevant. In the agreement with Amazon you agree to give them them the data, including the voice data. Amazon even lets you manage/delete the data after the fact. They're not collecting it illegally. Whether it is full voice transcripts or not that you're agreeing to send to Amazon is not 100% clear, but that's also irrelevant because by using Alexa you've agreed to send that data. It really depends on Amazon's definition of "when you interact with Alexa." I'm pretty sure that's quite broad.

This isn't Apple fighting encryption backdoors. This is Amazon impeding justice.

"1.3 Voice Services. You control Alexa with your voice. Alexa streams audio to the cloud when you interact with Alexa.

You're right, that does sound crazy.
1) Sure there have been some small short term fluctuations but the long term stability is pretty clear. And if you look back further than 50 years you'll actually see a steep decline in poverty. You can also see steep declines in poverty if you look internationally instead of just in the US.

2) You bring up a lot of other issues that are certainly real problems but they are mostly claims about what might happen in the future. That makes them speculation not fact. And sure, your speculation might end up being true and some of those speculations could lead to an increase in the poverty rate[A]. But you should be careful to frame what you are saying as a prediction about the future not a statement about something that has already happened in the past.

A. Personally I think you're wrong. But that's speculation too!
>Riding on the sidewalk is a rookie move and anyone that rides more than once a year knows it.

Eh, depends on the location. My sister rode a bike every day for about 4 years (she didn't have a car). She always rode on the sidewalk because she rode at a slower pace, the sidewalks generally didn't have any people on them, and in her neighborhood if you tried to ride in the road you'd get mowed down by vehicles. There's really some places where it makes most sense to ride on the sidewalk even if you aren't supposed to.
Wages Increase as Demand for Workers Increases
There are concerns that go into this

1. Your time
2. Machine time
3. Others time

Balance those three. Your time is saved by finding a language they already had good tooling and libraries for your task. Machine time is saved by picking the fastest language for this task. Sometimes you want a jit sometimes you need native code because you're running embedded. Others time is spent maintaining the stuff you build so using a language others already know saves them time.

Balance those three to find what works. Need really fast code? Sacrifice your time and co-workers time. Need really maintainable code? Sacrifice your time and machine time. Need really quickly written code? Sacrifice machine time and co-workers time.

NYC is part of a larger constituent unit. Japan, for example not being part of a larger state, goes to great pains to subsidize its inefficient agriculture in order that they not rely entirely on trade for their foodstuffs. It's not that they think being dependent _right now_ is an issue. The issue is what state would they be putting themselves in were large producers to put an embargo on them (or there be plagues elsewhere affecting production and thus the little which gets produced by other countries gets reserved for those countries's local consumption).

>...but he'll have to play it the hard way

Ah, but the game developer still nails the player anyway. The "hard way" (playing for free only) in many of these predatory freemium games is often designed to require an enormous time commitment to keep up (e.g. events that require user intervention one or more times daily, time limited premium in-game items that have a high price in free currency, requiring lots of grinding, etc.) that the free user is trapped online constantly to provide a social enticement for more players to join the game.
In the UK I saw red Solo cups for sale labeled "Red American party cups"
I once, in Ireland, threw a teen movie themed party. The red cups were key to it. I had to order them on eBay but they were weren't real Solo cups, just cardboard. They still went down a treat! Eventually somebody capitalised on the novelty and started importing them.
Even within cities employers face competition that they need to respond to if they want to compete. There are plenty of employers in London trying to hire experienced software developers or PhD machine learning experts for less than I made 5 years ago as a junior developer, let alone compared to what banks in London are willing to pay.

There may well be a shortage, but that is all the more reason to increase salaries if you want to compete in the global market for software developers.

You keep making that claim without backup. Two days ago I posted links to extensive use of "unsafe" in matrix libraries. (Some of that code was clearly transliterated from C. Raw pointers all over the place.) That's entirely for performance; all that code could be safe, at some performance penalty.

I'd suggest using only safe code for whatever matrix/math library gets some traction, and then beating on the optimizer people to optimize out more checks.
In an ideal perfect world, you wouldn't. In reality, however, plenty of people do and, personally, I've not experienced any issues with it.
10500€ for 7 degrees of freedom is awesome. Usually you get small 6 axis bots for 20k - 40k, without collision detection. Not to mention user friendly software.
if anyone else is interested, I can tell you that back in the p2p-zeus days Slavik/lucky12345/pollingsoon implemented a secret spy functionality in the malware that only he knew of. It scanned files and mails for text related to georgia (during russia-georgia conflict). It also scanned for specific words on ukraine, turkey bots.

So one can assume he was already partly working for russian intelligence back then.

Given he hasnt been caught yet its probable that Russian government is protecting him in exchange for more "work"
In my part of the world, I don't recall beer pong being a thing before the 80s. My prime beer pong years were spent playing "quarters": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarters_(game). We used shot glasses for that (hard to bounce a quarter into a Solo cup).

You drank your keg beer out of a Solo cup, though, as it has always been since the ancient times.

I agree it is worthless, but for a different reason. All manufacturing isn't created equal. The US growth in manufacturing is largely driven by increased oil production. That isn't the manufacturing we want to have. It is not great for jobs, not great for the environment, and it isn't sustainable.
