I'm in the US, and was looking around northern Europe, mostly the Scandinavian countries. If I am hovering over them, and type "linux", for example, it takes ~10 seconds before dots start disappearing, and ~30 seconds before they seem to stop changing.
I'm on the Fast Ring. I have run into some (mostly UI related) issues every now and again, but nothing that's a blocker and getting faster patches has been more useful, mostly to get WSL patches faster. The Slow Ring may be a good compromise; I was going to switch to the Slow Ring a while ago, but at the time Ring switching was broken ;)

Light. pRGCs. Remember that other research shows that conscientiousness clearly leads to longer life. So diligence turns out to be opposite to conscientiousness; I suspect because it leads to extended hours. If you blow your biological clock, your whole daily hormonal cycle goes with it.

> Yes. Dissatisfaction is the source of productivity, and that's all our bodies care about. If someone were 100% satisfied with everything around them, there would be no reason for them to move or change anything.

No, because you could be 90% satisfied with everything around you and decide it's enough. Of course it doesn't hold for a definition of 'satisfied' that aligns with 'I consider it done/enough'.
The reason we don't have an explanation, and most likely won't, is because Department of Health and Human Services has an indefinite Trump-issued communications freeze from talking to the public.

Hi, Hadar here, Co-founder and CEO of Peer5.
PeerCDN started at about the same time as Peer5 and was a competitor. Later it was acquired by Yahoo.

PeerCDN was a general purpose CDN, while Peer5 specializes in video. Feross, one of PeerCDN's founders and author of WebTorrent actually became my friend and we exchange ideas from time to time.
I probably should have made the second conditional `(x < 2)` rather than `(x < 4)` so that the compiler should not generate a warning. Here a serious compiler would likely be able to statically determine that the variable was always initialized, but for a sufficiently complex function call (even an inlined one) it would not.

The compiler could just be "conservative" like you said and warn whenever it couldn't statically determine validity, but note that initializing e.g. `y = 0` has a performance cost (cf. reordering constructor initializers).
I live in Philadelphia. I've been riding a bike around town for a decade. I've never had a bike stolen. What's my secret? Lock it up properly, and don't leave it out overnight. Pretty simple, really. During the day -- at least in center city -- it's fine as long as it's locked up properly.

> Not donating bone marrow requires doing nothing. Having an abortion require an active procedure.

True, but simply not relevant to any point I made. No metaphor is perfect, but the point here is that your control over your own body trumps another right to life. You wouldn't allow the government to forcibly take your bone marrow to save a life, and that's no different than being forced to carry a pregnancy to term against your will in regards to the point of bodily autonomy. Another persons right to life ends when it depends on someone else's body to live. The other person has a right to not consent to use their body against their will.
I've used this site in the past and liked it, but now it seems much slower. I tend to just use the map to do a wide geographic search, like looking at eastern Washington and Idaho. Using the site this way, by just moving around on the map is very slow now. It can take minutes to update the jobs.

I still think it's a good idea though.
A Common Thread in Acquired Products: What We Learned Building Them
Good question.

For networking, Kitura uses Kitura-net, which uses BlueSocket, which in turn uses C library's sockets[1]. On GNU/Linux, this is the GNU C Library, for which a package (Glibc) is provided by the Swift port[2].

For asynchrony they seem to be using libdispatch despite it being "early in the development"[3], but I've also noticed they're wrapping epoll and curl (see 1.B again), so it's hard to gauge the real extent of the hack.

Perl is still, I think, the gold standard for quoting and string manipulation syntax. I am to this day routinely perplexed by the verbosity and ugliness of simple operations on strings in other languages.

(Of course, this may also be one of the reasons that programmers in its broad language family have a pronounced tendency to shoehorn too many problems into complex string manipulation, but I suppose no capability comes without its psychological costs.)
That's not insurance, and it's only in three of the thirteen provinces/territories. For all intents and purposes it's a tax, and I'm pretty sure it's included in the figure I listed above.

I don't know what you're getting at with "most of them have nothing else to compare it with". Are you suggesting that Canadians are ignorant of other countries health care systems? Certainly not of America's - many Canadians go to the States to vacation or have relatives there and have first or second-hand experience with it. Also the whole world got to watch the insane debate over ACA.

Objectively, the health care outcomes aren't any better in the States than in Canada, despite the fact that it's essentially twice as expensive once you add in their insurance premiums.
Ah, thanks. And yea, the TC piece didn't make it clear to me that the crux of the issue was Anderson's current employment while poaching.

When I wake my computer after a session of normal use and connect it to an open network, it immediately starts sending out messages to a bunch of different entities (google, dropbox, evernote, etc, etc) that can be rather easily traced back to that access point. IMHO this should be an even bigger concern than identifying a public wifi user through surveillance images, and it's a point that articles like this one routinely ignore, or gloss over:

> "Use as much caution and good sense as you can about distancing yourself from equipment and network locations you might be connected to."

Possibly an audience who has never heard of Tor before (the target for this piece) needs some more concrete advice about this than "use caution and good sense."

That sounds like an argument against direct access to sqlite.so.
Iteration speed is the main reason. Our devs can develop, test, and push tweaks absurdly fast with RN. Most of our applications are CRUD apps shooting the data to web.

There's nothing wrong with Xamarin. We have a few apps still maintained in Xamarin. But I find developing UIs and even the general data flow to be better in RN. Perhaps I just prefer JSX and the Redux pattern.

I find that Xamarin is still better documented and it's easier to find help than with RN. But we tend to live on the bleeding edge a bit.
The Panama Papers were 11.5 million documents that were leaked all at once -- If a piece of paper is .1mm thick, that stack would be 1.15km tall. If a single piece of copy paper weighs 5 grams, double-sided printing 11.5 million documents would produce a stack that weighs almost 30 metric tons.

Point taken though, one of the bigger stories of the campaign was the billion dollar loss that Trump claimed on his taxes in the mid-1990s. That came to WaPo and NYtimes via USPS and just landed in their mailboxes.
It seems that the current state of the law is that they're not categorically unenforceable in the way non-competes are, but that courts have found some limits in their scope. It also seems that there hasn't been a direct challenge to them yet. Either way, the issue in this case is Anderson's behavior while employed, so it doesn't seem like it will come up.

[Former reporter here] I have worked with confidential sources, and there are a number of things you can do, as a whistle blower, to protect yourself.

Phone calls are better than files, generally speaking, and you should be calling from a burner; i.e. a pre-paid phone that is not in your name. You shouldn't even give your real name to the reporter on first contact. Reporters take notes and some of them have to share their sourcing with editors. So be really clear with them how they will treat your real identity, if you choose to share it.

Face to face meetings are sometimes better than phone calls. You should assume, when you're handling highly sensitive information, that the reporter's devices may eventually be hacked, bugged or subpoena'd, so make sure that an electronic trail does not lead back to you.

You should carefully choose the journalists you leak to. The best choice will have to be well sourced. That's because the information you leak to them, in most cases, will have to be confirmed. That is, they will have to call other insiders they know and ask "Is X true?" If they don't have other sources, the information you provide will probably not make it to the public.

Reporters also get contacted by a lot of nut jobs, so early on, do what you must to establish credibility. Trust has to be established both ways.

China learned from Russia's experience and slowly loosened the reins on key industries before loosening the reins on other industries without completely relinquishing control.

The key problem with command and control economies in the 20th century was those economies were fundamentally limited by the command's ability to capture accurate market data, learn they key insights about that data and then execute smart decisions.

I'm not claiming China is capable of doing that today, but information technology has significantly improved the efficacy of the leadership's influence on economic activity. However, they were also wise enough to distribute the work of optimising markets by allowing business owners and capital investors to benefit from the efficiencies they introduce.

Simply put: The Communist Party of China has been using a very different playbook for the past 30 years and they've benefitted significantly and the effect of IT has had a profound impact on their efficacy.
Separation of powers is a fundamental principle of the U.S. Constitution. There's no guarantee that the legislature will be favorable to your positions either. If you're of a liberal, progressive, or even moderate bent, the past 6 years would've been much worse had Obama not been a check on the Republican Congress.

Since 1980, periods when both the Presidency and both houses of Congress have been under the control of one party have been quite rare, and the public usually votes out one house of Congress in the next election. Democrats in 09-10, Republicans from 02-06, Democrats in 92-94, and that's it.

(Interestingly, this is not universal throughout history. Dem's controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency under the Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations, while Republicans controlled them during the Mckinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover administrations. The last extended time period of divided control was the post-Reconstruction Gilded Age era from 1875-1897...perhaps leading credence to those who say the current time period is much more like the Long Depression, Gilded Age, and lead up to WW1 than the Great Depression and lead-up to WW2.)
I mean it's undecidable even if x is computed from purely static values: `x` can be the result of an arbitrary C-function and C is Turing complete.

Having experienced the same thing I tend to agree there are likely evolutionary benefits to laughing with your parents or making them laugh. I tend to use humor as a coping mechanism (sometimes to my wife's chagrin) but I can also see that in infants who are limited in their ability to take action to change their environment.
My school had a job board that allowed for easy submissions of resumes (kinda like linkedin). Read the description of what they're looking for, and if it sounds cool you should go for it. Also, I had multiple versions of my resume that showed what classes I took that'd pertain to the job I was applying for. Like if it was a web job, I'd put a few classes that'd be related toward that. Good luck!

With the exception of the most wealthy (ie, Bill Gates), I guarantee that there is a health issue that would bankrupt you. Also, if you are that wealthy, why wouldn't you insure your health? It would be a pittance compared to your overall wealth and just simply a prudent thing to do. I bet you that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have health insurance.
Personally I prefer the AND approach. For example, if I'm interested in working for a company in CA but in a remote position.

I could see the argument for OR, but it would be confusing to me that flipping on the remote switch included non-remote positions when a city is included in the query.
It's not non-sense. They're two different things that are/were in beta. They will eventually work together(likely sooner than later) but just because they didn't on day 0 doesn't make it fundamentally broken.
What are the best resources to learn this? I got a vive and downloaded Unity, and gave up after I realized how much work it will be for a simple game.

Can you please explain more why you think there are copyright implications?
Hmm, yeah. The linked video from the Globe and Mail says to avoid surfing the web during the procedure, but avoiding explicitly going to Facebook and Twitter (their examples, IIRC) won't stop all identifiable network traffic from your device. I suppose that's where the suggestion of using a boot-from-USB OS might come in.
This is amusing in light of the fact that Microsoft apparently has many internal services running on old Dells in conference rooms[1] because the red tape to move them to the cloud is too much.

Dunno what you're talking about. Plenty of people on these forums have been strongly dissenting about the Obama administrations attitude toward a free and open internet, government surveillance, and drone policy.

Looking at my local "community", Israel, especially Tel Aviv area, I see 8 jobs, while, there are at least 8K jobs opened right now in the tech industry.

You may consider expanding outreach by letting companies post jobs via API (instead manually typing positions details).
Also, cooperating with local-well-established jobs listing sites, in this case, alljobs.co.il.

The best way to grow global, it to cooperate with the locals.
5 Notorious Hackers and Their Crimes

the most common goverments free of (obvious) ccorruption are democracies. a senator CAN be corrupt, but often doesn't want to -- because if discovered to be corrupt, he would lose office. The people have control over voting him in or out. Not true in Liberia. Corruption or not, they're in power. It's in their best interest to be corrupt.

It's accountability to the populous that keeps politicians from being corrupt.

"The Dictator's Handbook" is a great book that spends a lot of time reflecting on why and how corruption happens.
I think this situation is a little different and more complex than the examples you're comparing. I've worked in a NICU, and I've seen that many of the babies in it stay for several months at a time. Keeping these babies alive can be extremely expensive, and while considering costs in these situations is ugly, it is something that we have to do. Along with the costs, we have to consider the outcomes for these babies. We've only been able to keep babies born at ~20 weeks alive for a short time in medical history - we don't have a great idea about the long term outcome for them. We know that many of these babies are still alive, but we also know that many of them die very young from complications of pre-maturity like underdeveloped lungs, brain hemorrhage, necrosis of the GI tract, congenital heart defects, and sepsis.

The right thing to do isn't clear cut in this situation. Going to great lengths to save or prolong every baby's life isn't clearly a good thing, but neither is refusing care for premature babies.
Your comments in this thread lead me to believe you're a retarded person.

Odd, here in Norway that's exactly the kind of information I expect to see on a leaflet inside the packet, not only on prescription drugs but also over the counter pain killers like paracetamol. Roughly translated from the Norwegian it says:

Rare side effects (more than one in ten thousand but fewer than one in one thousand patients) include: over sensitivity, allergic skin reaction/rash, reduced white blood count, anaemia, disturbed liver function. Very rare side effects include serious skin reactions. Liver function can be affected by paracetamol and alcohol abuse.

My son's in college now, and I still haven't forgotten when he was not yet walking, less than a year old, and we sat on the couch cracking each other up every time I said the word "chicken." Who knows why it was funny? It was hilarious to us.

Another time he was also not yet walking, and new to crawling (and I was new to his crawling). I set him down on the floor, left the room, came back and he wasn't there. Minor panic until I found him behind the couch. Then he cracked up. He played a joke on me.

As the current President of the Us exemplifies, there's a huge gulf between rhetoric and actions.

Personally, I have no fear of Iran or Iranians committing violent acts on US soil.

Also, if this ruling stands, it unfairly affects people from Iran who aren't even Muslim (not that it should matter). In LA, there is a very large community of Persian Jews who would be cut off from their family.
