Unfortunately, our current implementation throttles WebSockets. Because of this we ARE NOT SHIPPING this intervention in M56.

The current plan is to disable time-budget background timer throttling for the pages with active connection (websocket, webrtc and server-sent events) and to ship in M57 (subject to further feedback).
We will keep you updated with the progress.

Snap to Publicly File for IPO Late Next Week
Replying to OP because it's the most logical place to put this -

I'm curious what a "USSD code" is, and what kinds of codes I could input into the dialpad that do interesting things.

(I'm already aware of standard telco features like call forwarding, and I know iOS and Android both have their own set of "easter eggs" accessible via the dialer. I'm talking specifically about non-secret codes that talk to the baseband and stuff like that, if this sort of thing exists.)
It's really a shame that "SRE" came to mean entry level server janitor at so many companies when it strikes me as a very senior role.
Go on settings (gear on bottom right) then click save.
I don't doubt that many of the commenters praising Trump, or any other politician for that matter, may in fact be sockpuppet accounts, but I wonder if this might be a similar situation to what we saw with polling prior to the election in which Trump voters were less willing to admit to voting for him. I'm not actually sure if this was the case but I've heard it theorized that this is one of the reasons polling might have been so off.

Perhaps there are commenters unwilling to link their real FB identity to supporting Trump? On the other hand, I see plenty of people make outrageous statements online clearly linked to their real FB profile so maybe this isn't a widespread concern.
BTW, the boot debugger in checked builds of NTLDR is harder to use than the one in BOOTMGR. You have to manually load symbols by reading the PE header into memory using a copy with the real mode stub removed, and you have to use F10 at the boot menu in order to break into the debugger.
A few years before he died, I heard Kim Peek speak at an event. He was a savant who retained 98% of everything he read. He would memorize phone books simply by reading them once. When he read, his left eye would read the left page while his right eye would read the right page at the same time. He could tell anyone the sports scores listed in the newspaper on the day they were born. He was also severely socially impaired and couldn't carry on a conversation.

His father described his condition as being due to having his left and right hemisphere fused together where as most people's are separate with communication channels between them.
Thanks - that worked!

Do you know why that's necessary and why it wasn't mentioned in the tutorial?
Yeah, I can't count how many Googlers have argued with me based on the claim that OpenSecrets is highlighting donations of individual employees, and that the company itself isn't buying these politicians... but that's what Google NetPAC is for. Google gives to their own PAC, which gives to their paid-for Congresscritters. Just a (thin) layer of obfuscation.
traffic is as localized as possible. As a general rule you can think of, if the peer is more local to you than the nearest CDN PoP you'll receive data from the peer, otherwise you'll receive data from the CDN.

>Cool! Does this mean all peer traffic is local ? Also, how can you detect when traffic is metered ?

We combine both client side and server side methods for that.
There are plans to get around that such as shielding yourself from the radiation using your food and water supply.
True. But haven't played with it yet. It seems nice and straightforward also.
That's not correct. I'm a dual citizen (one of them is US) and the gov'ts stance is that it is allowed.
You probably need to install a more recent version of Node.js. That's one of the first things mentioned.

Yes. It's a federal criminal law. That means you have to get federal attorneys' offices interested if you want the miscreants stopped. But shutting down telemarketers isn't nearly as much fun as driving people like Aaron Swartz to suicide, or as profitable as seizing airplanes from drug smugglers.

So, effectively, this kind of thing is legal.

simultaneously buying himself an escape pod

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like you bought the article's narrative hook, line and sinker. I saw no evidence that Peter got NZ citizenship as an "escape pod". It was purely conjecture on the author's part.

There are many reasons for getting citizenship in another country. Maybe you want to retire there? Maybe it makes business dealings easier? Maybe you can't own property without it?
It lines up perfectly with the decline of the MBP line. I have a 2011 model, and it's truly pathetic how little of substance has changed since then.

* Better processors (a given, under the continuous march of Intel)

* Minor GPU improvements, with a multi-year draught where you basically couldn't get a dedicated GPU unless you bought the absolutely most expensive unit.

* Higher resolution displays.

Meanwhile:

* They keep making the damn things thinner, at the expense of functionality.

* They ship with half the storage compared to five years ago. Yes, it's NAND. But you shouldn't have to spend $600 extra on a machine that already costs $2000 just to get to the point where you were five years ago. And with the $/GB cost of NAND as comparatively low as it is in recent years...

* All the ports are gone. First they killed the ethernet, and now they're down to four USB-C ports. All of your DisplayPort-based stuff you've accumulated is now useless, and you need an adapter to plug in a USB flash drive. I get that they think it's going to drive the market down that path, but would it have killed them to go 50/50?

* Hey, let's replace a perfectly useful row of keys that can be bound to things, and the all important escape key, with a shiny touch screen. Fuck touch typists, right?

* CPUs still throttle aggressively under load (especially in warmer climates). Thermal management is hard on laptops, but Apple generally opts to sacrifice performance for cosmetics.

* RAM has been consistently lacking for such an expensive machine. Considering the OS will make full use of it for caches when extra space is available, and that we live in an era of bloated web pages/browsers and garbage Electron software, the consistent lowballing of RAM is annoying.
Okay, is there some dissonance I'm not picking up on here in this thread? The item is sitting at 220+ votes, at the top of HN right now and looking at the timeline, it appears the only reason this is on sale is because people begged the author to sell them.

And in the thread... a bunch of people suggesting "Why not just DIY?", "Why not paper?", "It's useless on the back" etc.

This is obviously a popular item. Maybe some introspection?
Eh, you need to bring water anyway. Stay in the water bubble and you're protected. It's a one-way trip, right?

I'm with you. I was hooked on mouse gestures after using Opera 12. They came built into the browser, and you could tell. Gestures worked everywhere-- on a new tab, on a loading page, even on the browser window outside a tab.

Now I'm using Firefox plus a dozen extensions to poorly replicate a base Opera 12 installation. The e10s update already broke some FireGesture in some minor ways (e.g. wheel gestures scroll the page content now). Other extensions stopped working completely.

A nice long bath, laying down with a full length album, or driving in the hills. Those are my daydreaming states.

I have also begun to note a new state that I let go missing, and that is being thoughtless. It is really hard for me to achieve but I can in situations like focusing on music or on the opposite spectrum, motorsport. I always think so much more clearly afterward.
So you reject the art because of the views of the artist? Have a fun time being able to enjoy anything.
If Google employees were going to revolt, they'd have done so already. Many have left on various grounds, but those that are left either have heavily bought into what Google's marketing team is selling about the mission, or simply don't care that they work for a company that has such a corrupt influence in government.

A Googler I follow recently posted an angry social post about the recent Congressional proposal to gimp the Office of Congressional Ethics, and how that was "not normal" and such. I pointed out that Bob Goodlatte, the congressman who introduced it, was bought and paid for by Google, and has acted as a lobbyist for Google while supposedly serving the public. He largely dismissed the point, but I suggested that rather than blame Trump, who hadn't even been inaugurated yet, that he should maybe ask his employer to stop bankrolling this guy.

He largely just dismissed my point and then closed the comments. I have no doubt Google's executives have drastically different social and moral views than their rank and file engineers, but they don't seem too inclined to do anything about it.
the pursuit of happiness

Not actually happy, but some kind of a deeper happiness (?) in the suffering of progress towards something worthwhile.

The goal being independent wealthly was that for me until I attained it and didn't like it. The pursuit was much more fun! Despite (or because of?) the suffering. But without that nirvana held out, the motivation for its pursuit is gone...

Yes and that's when I walk out of your interview. Some time ago I did an interview with elementary coding questions, like 2nd year of university stuff. Was a developer with 15 years of experience. Rage quit. They're like oh, you got 100% percent on the stuff you attempted, here is a new link to finish it. And I am like no thanks, have contract work, please send it my way. Not interested at a job at a place that interviews like this.

How do you verify host fingerprints on first time connections
I recently started using digitalocean, and I had always bypassed the SSH warning when it was the first time connecting to the server. With the little research I did, I ended up using digital ocean's web console to generate the fingerprint and compare with the one in the warning. So, how do you do it? is the way I verified secure at all? Is there a more convenient way to verify?
What the hell is up with the article's title? 500,000 people from these countries have received green cards in the past decade.

but the point here is that your control over your own body trumps another right to life

I think you need to refine that stance.

As a parent, I certainly don't have control over my own body. If I fail to provide the necessities of life for my child, I will go to jail and my kid will be taken from me. The gov't can (and will) force me to do certain things with my body.

And then followed it up with "My Adidas". But I agree in spirit.
Any function like map or flatMap that only affects one side of the either is a no-op if the current value is the wrong side. It's a bit like calling map on an Optional::empty, a no-op.

Thankfully my personal experiences with dying relatives were not like this. At the end there was in-home hospice care. When the pain got to be too much, the morphine dose was gradually increased.

That's OK for small batches of documents, but even an ordinary court fight between two small businesses can generate hundreds of thousands of pages during the discovery process. Several of my in-laws worked on electronic discovery for the SEC's litigation against Goldman Sachs following the financial crisis, that ran into tens of millions of documents that literally took a couple of years to organize.

Because Firefox is slow and pages are sometimes broken because nobody uses Firefox mobile. I also used Firefox Mobile for the sake of using uBlock Origin. But since I discovered Adguard for Android I can keep using Chrome (beta) which is way faster and it also supports web compression for http content (also speeds up).
What's wrong with generics here?

ListCondi<ObjType> myValue = gateway.callThatApi(...)

foreach(tmp as Condi in myVlue)

}

PS: Sorry, have not touched java in like 10 years, but I assume you can have that foreach as a map.
This reminds me of when I first heard of people buying "traffic" or "visitors" to their site --- being the type to not see the Internet in any commercial sense, the idea of paying to increase the bandwidth to your site (back in those days, bandwidth was not exactly cheap) was a bit puzzling... and then after seeing that many sites had ads and analytics, it all suddenly made sense.
:else is a convention in Clojure that has truthy keywords. You could replace that with anything that evaluates to true, like :foo, or true, or 1, etc.

How to Do Sentiment Analysis with Deep Learning
I'll bite.

Human life deserves protection. Human life starts at some point in time. Saying human life starts at birth (when the child leaves the womb), makes no sense. There is nothing unique about leaving the womb that infers humanity. There is nothing different between killing at newborn and killing a baby still in the womb who is past-due. Location doesn't infer something is a life or not.

So we need to find a better indication of when a human life begins. One could argue that if a child could live outside the womb, then it is a human life. Currently children commonly survive being born 26 weeks premature (3 months before being normally born). Again, killing a premature baby is no different than killing it in the womb. It's the same life.

Other believe that human life starts before that. Some believe that once the self-sustaining process of forming a baby starts (fertilization), then it's human life.

I'm not arguing for one or the other. However, I do understand why some people hold those beliefs.

The simplest answer is that Microsoft's software mimics the design of the organization with multiple fifedoms building their own toolkit, causing fragmentation.

We already know that the Office and Windows teams have different GUI toolkits from reports from inside the company. But there is evidently a lot more fragmentation than just those 2 groups.

What I find more interesting is that Google products are starting to feel similarly fragmented. Project fi, Android, Plus, and Search all look and behave differently. My damn phone gets SMS on Hangouts and the Messenger app, my voicemails come on the phone and hangouts. None of it makes sense.

We can all agree that inconsistent GUIs are bad, but it seems like a problem you have to solve from a top down organizational perspective, which might not obviously align with the business.

If this is true, them pursuit of mindfulness (training your mind to suppress spontaneous thoughts) while a powerful tool to enhance productivity has a negative side. It suppresses spontaneous creative thinking. Or does it produce a clear mental space into which creative thoughts can intrude and not be lost due to distractions? I feel like I'm in a mental squirrel cage going round and round and getting nowhere.

As a 'marketing person' I have to starkly disagree with this theory. No marketing person worth their weight in salt thinks that a generic TLD is a "great brand". Branding is quite specifically a matter of owning mindshare with a unique name or mark that can be easily recalled at a point in a buyer's journey.

Let's not go belittling people because it's not your area of expertise. Plenty of great businesses lead by branding people that don't focus on tech-automation end up succeeding. There is more than one path to success.

Also I suggest you check out the 11 immutable laws of branding by Al Ries, it's basically a branding bible and a short and easy read! Maybe you'll find a few tidbits of use from those 'marketing people' :)
