Do you have evidence that the police arrested the peaceful ones?
> Interview people who were there about what the journalists were actually doing and what happened when they were detained

Where do you find these people? I assume the piece was written after the protest was over, so there's no way to confirm who was there, and if their story is true. Even so, here's what the article says:

>> Witnesses reported that sweeping arrests during the parade targeted rioters, protesters and journalists indiscriminately.

> Mention the political background of the reporters and/or any history of participating in protests

Ok, great. However, I'm pretty sure if one of the reporters had prior incidents with protests, that would surface pretty quickly. It could be that there's no reason to mention the lack of prior incidents.

> Explore legal precedents and ask experts to help explain why they may have been arrested

What are the experts in these situations? Here's (another) quote from the article:

>> The charges against the journalists — Evan Engel, Alexander Rubinstein, Jack Keller, Matthew Hopard, Shay Horse and Aaron Cantu — have been denounced by organizations dedicated to press freedom. All of those arrested have denied participating in the violence.

The accused have denied participation and "organizations dedicated to press freedom" (are they experts?) have denounced the charges.

> At least mention the fact that if we don't know all the facts, we can't assume they were wrongfully charged

Guilty until proven innocent? That's a troubling attitude to take, especially with all the uncertainties the new Trump administration brings.
Does it really matter whether it's on "company resources," in any sense other than the outmoded legal sense? Or company time? Perhaps for termination, but it's not against the law to hurt your employer, nor should it be.

Perhaps you may want to refresh your perspective by remembering some of the times managers have colluded to keep wages down. "Poaching" is such a ridiculous term for "offering somebody better rewards for their work and them accepting."

Stealing proprietary information is another story though, let's not make this whole thing binary.
It would be very interesting to see a computer analysis of position strength in the discarded games and seeing, where possible, if the ratios of "likely win" and "likely loss" match the games that were finished.
Topcolor doesn't work until you have 250 karma. A bug is currently displaying the setting even to users who don't have the karma to change it. Sorry! That's super annoying. We'll fix it.

Edit: it's fixed now, meaning that the setting is no longer displayed when it shouldn't be. Sorry for tantalizing.

Edit 2: I was looking for the post where pg first introduced the topcolor feature as a reward for karma, which I remember from years ago, but couldn't find it. If anybody can find it please let me know!

My strategy is to push out the first working version in that first 2-3 days and get feedback. I have recently, compiled and published my experience and thoughts on this exact topic as a book : http://amzn.to/2iUYaOH
Moderators are voting to remove pages that have validated data. That's idiotic because it's more work than leaving the article be in a locked state.

Being falsely arrested raises the profile of a journalist without much of a downside. I doubt it will have a chilling effect.

Wouldn't wiping a company phone without permission be akin to destruction of company property? Especially if you did it with the intent to... destroy company property (records of activities you took on company time using a company device)?
The encodes are made to replicate the source as faithfully as possible, generally that means not touching the audio and disabling all forms of dynamic gain (which both affects the quality, and reduces the quietness of the quiet moments and reduces the loudness of the loud moments).

I am quite certain that no audio quality is lost, as the explicit goal is to keep the audio at maximum fidelity.

Not sure what setup you are using, but most cinematic players have a way to do auto-dynamic gain. Or, if you do want a more faithful overall experience, all you really need is a better amp.

good luck? with that attitude you deserve shitty centralized systems that spy on you. decentralization and ease of use aren't contradictory anyway. remember bit torrent? used to be very popular, even among less technical users. great UX too. click a magnet link and you have your content in a flash.

the problem is that there isn't a multi-billion dollar business case for decentralized user systems. a lot of server/dc tech is both decentralized and distributed because it is a more robust architecture. again, the reason this doesn't extend to the consumer is because it give them too much control and clogs up the revenue stream.

this isn't a technical or usability problem, as you claim. this is 100% economic.
I've been Citibiking since nearly the start and I prefer the new models.

Sometimes the brakes are bad, true, but I never pick one with a flat tire (of course checking before I take it out) and I have to say I have gotten tremendous utility from my membership. Sucks to see someone who didn't like it.

I think your last point is pretty devastating and I don't see dockless bike sharing ever reaching the grand scale of something like Citibike.
I agree to an extent however bitcoin marketplaces have a substantially lower bar to entry and slightly more (apparent) transparency to trade volume and holding which can give better ideas as to stability and the market consensus. I admit this is conjecture however it is undeniable that the closed doors of financial institutions make price fixing more convenient.
I've been pretty happy with Tab Center too. Tab handling is the one thing a browser has to nail for me and yet so many (including base firefox) do such a poor job of it.
But suitability is a huge factor here. The point isn't that "nine nines" reliability cannot be achieved in C++ or whatever, it's that it's significantly harder and costlier to achieve.

But also: Of course a language creates reliability. Null pointers are impossible in Erlang, whereas they are provable impossible to avoid in C++.

So people bring this up because Erlang programs are pretty much reliable by default (assuming you stick to OTP and its design).

To help it reach insane uptimes, Erlang also has a few features that are hard to replicate in C++, if not impossible. The main one is hot code replacement; being able to incrementally upgrade a system in a safe and controlled manner without restarting it is a huge benefit in such a system.

It's also trivial to attach to a running Erlang program and introspect it as if you're truly running inside it. Goes hand in hand with hot code replacement. With C++, you get fairly crummy, low-level things like gdb, without the ability to actually write C++ code while in the debugger.

Also, remember that crashes can occur in bug-free programs. Hardware failures can be hard to predict and handle.
I think it's comparing apples with oranges. They are two different species a compiled vs VM based language, one is a functional styled vs other has duck-tapping. Only thing I can see common is GC and a somewhat but very different concurrency programming paradigms, with message passing. Erlang and BEAM is an aged old giant with battle tested proven reliability, while golang is young lad with the flash like abilities everyone has been longing for. While you get awesome stuff like Hot-Reloading, Go lang gives you compiled code that can run heavy loaded servers on my RaspberryPi (I made one and tried all Erlang, NodeJS, and Golang believe me Golang smokes them all on memory footprint http://raspchat.com ). I can go on and on and on! But picking one is totally dependent on your scenario.

Slack is one of those sneaky things that can subvert culture or quasi-define it if a stronger force does not exert itself. We make it a policy that emergencies happen via telephone. We want people to be able to ignore Slack for a while and not be worried about something important popping up.

It can be hard when that is not an option because then someone has to let Slack occupy some amount of their brain space, just in case.
QLM, for both the OSX and PC versions of our product. QLM is web-based, but also handles off-line licensing via a generated file. Our product can be used in demo mode (no saving, limited editing, reports printed with a 'demo' watermark) indefinitely, time-limited demo mode, a basic function mode and a full operation mode. The last three modes are handled via information encoded into the customer's activation key which is then decoded in the application, and acted upon.

Previously - on PC, there was no Mac version at that time - the 'licensing' was encoded in an INI file which users worked out they could share. QLM has eliminated this kind of 'dumb' piracy, and via the application and logged attempts we can see if people are trying to activate the application on multiple PCs or Macs and so forth.

Next step is to get automatic license key generation working via Paypal payments. I can't really think of any features that we are missing with QLM.

Because it shows they they didn't really mean it. If it's profitable, and they really wanted to disrupt the stale ISP market, they should have persisted. Otherwise they just showed that they aren't any better than incumbents.
What guidelines?

Doctors have tremendous latitude in how they treat patients and, as far as I know, there are no "official" guidelines for most diseases (very communicable diseases might be one major exception).

There are guidelines for developing, manufacturing, advertising, and selling drugs. However, doctors can use them off-label. From the FDA (here: http://www.fda.gov/ForPatients/Other/OffLabel/default.htm )
"From the FDA perspective, once the FDA approves a drug, healthcare providers generally may prescribe the drug for an unapproved use when they judge that it is medically appropriate for their patient. "
Maybe so. But there's also the issue of underemployment. It's a pretty good bet that the Americans who used to make steel and cars and stuff didn't earn more doing whatever they did after those jobs went south/overseas. And that's probably one of the reasons why they voted for Trump.
Sure, but in that way, it has just as much of a rechargeable battery as the Steam Controller does, which is what we were comparing it to.

Uninitialized Reads: Understanding the proposed revisions to the C language
Sounds like they're choosing their battles just like the US ones.

My takeaway here is not to trust either Russia or US based companies, as none of them will escape working with the secret services. China and India have plenty of exploitative AV like software as well, mainly for mobile.

Are there any European AV? Or Japanese? Or South African? I'd love to have something that has an eye eg on Microsoft's products, because there's no doubt that they have backdoors and report home.
Erase encoding was my first thought too. Here's a link to the paper, for anyone who's interested:

Uh, too late to edit my comment above, but I meant to say, "If you start a new bank, you CAN'T just make up your own Issuer Identification Number and expect to interoperate with the rest of the financial industry."
No they aren't. If you think they are liberals you are either stupid or naive. Someone who thinks an 'entire' non political industry is filled with a single political viewpoint is not capable of an objective discussion because people are clearly hiding it from him/her.

I've met many people in biotech startups that are not 'liberals' when it comes to economic policy. They joined explicitly to make something that helps humanity while making them rich at the same time. They were explicitly against government intervention in health care research and believed private industry was better at finding viable solutions to problems. That's antithetical to the standard liberal viewpoint in the US.

If you don't think there are people like that, it's because the crowd you are with is hostile to people with dissenting political views. It's not because biotech is a magical statistical anomaly that operates on the principles of capitalism while being filled purely with liberals.

Have you ever worked in telecom industry?

I did, at one of the the companies you list there.

We had outsourced and offshored code for modules on those switches you mentioned.

Have you ever had the pleasure to review C++ code in such type of projects?

I did, and hope to never do it again.
I see. But, it looks like it is per host and there is no way to find out for a particular service running on the host.
I thought they had dealt with that since. Guess they have no real incentive to do so.
I suspect (correct me if I'm wrong) that a large part of your opinion is based on the fairly offensive word "poach" that implies that employees are the employer's property in some way.

If that were taken out of the article, perhaps it would make more sense? I think that as 'geofft points out, the fact that this person was trying-to-recruit (not "poach") employees for a future startup while on the job is one of the reasons for Tesla's suit. I think the other reason they give (allegedly stealing data) is far more compelling if true.

Quite right - thanks. If Alphabet had paid the same tax rate as the previous year then net income for the quarter would have been $6.49 billion, an increase of 32%.
I have spent some long weekends in the woods trying to be very still. Not meditatong really, just being bored and thinking. I think it helps me be okay being stuck for a while. Cal Newport discusses this in his book. Getting comfortable with boredom and short Internet embargos (among other things)

When I am hacking on Go or Python I will often launch pydoc or godoc and not visit the Internet at large for hours. Some times I end up implemeting something un-idiomatic or sub optimal. I think it is alright. You get a feel for when something should go to a Parking Lot that you can clear out in a bit. It may seem counterintuitive but it does not mess up Flow. Just whack a comment or placeholder and move on. I often find my brain was working on it in the background anyhow.

It is a sort of freedom. A rare sort these days.

In 2008 and 2012, Obama pioneered the use of A/B testing to refine campaign messages. "175,000 distinct test variations" sounds like a more ambitious effort at the same strategy.

And targeting relevant information at wavering voters seems like a common strategy in 2016. House of Cards had both fictional Presidential candidates doing something similar in their fictional election, and Bloomberg once wrote "[Hillary's] campaign is looking to build on the digital engagement strategy devised by the Obama team, customizing the messages e-mailed to the estimated 8.6 million people on its list to make them as personal as possible."

But then why does every single one of the engineers who have worked with him report that he's the single smartest person they've ever worked with?

If you read the biography, there have been times when an engineer has said "I can't meet these requirements," and he said "Ok, I'll do your job AND my job, and I'll get it done." And he did.

I think anyone believing he's not an extremely talented engineer has not read much about him.

There's been a huge imbalance from where we've been getting immigrants from. Prior to what 1960s we got a good chunk of them from europe, and immigrants were admitted because of skill. After that it was all about numbers from Mexico and a lot of 3rd world locales. And any immigration work IS a zero sum game, so the highly educated western cultured people and their intelligent offspring who were destined to go on to do great things in industry were not admitted nearly as often.

The point of immigration is for future prosperity. And just because a quote on the Statue of Liberty makes it seem like the United States is supposed to be some kind of shelter for anyone the world regardless of background, doesn't mean that's the case.
