From the referenced study on job losses being attributable to automation:

http://conexus.cberdata.org/files/MfgReality.pdf

"We begin by examining productivity. The most common measure
of productivity is the average product of labor, which is simply the value of all goods manufactured in the U.S. divided by the number of workers." (p3)

In other words, if you offshore half of your workforce for half the price (purchasing them as a service like Apple does) while maintaining sales and a notional "made in the USA" stamp, this study concludes that your productivity has doubled.

Later on in the study they give a lot of reasons for why they think "the value of goods manufactured" divided by "number of workers" has gone up and conclude without much analysis that it was "spawned by growth in the industrial use of information technology" (p4).

They appear to calculate job losses attributable to trade by deducting the value of export goods from the value of imported goods.

At the end of the study they lobby for the reduction of Corporation tax.
For a language that has both "And" and "AndAlso" as keywords; I don't think VB.NET should be considered the paragon of beginners languages.

It might have "Basic" in it's name but the complexity of smashing old-school VB syntax and semantics with .NET syntax and semantics has not made for a very beginner friendly language. It's more complex than C# (excluding some of the newest C# features). It's just painted over with a more English syntax to appear beginner friendly.
We ported a massive classic ASP site to VB.Net in 2003 and then several years later ported it to C#. My experience was that some devs did better with VB.Net (coming from classic ASP) than they would have jumping to C#.

It wasn't quite "open the site in the new IDE and fix all the squiggly underlined bits" but that was a substantial part of the mechanical effort.

Starting from nothing? Skip VB.Net and start with C# (assuming you're set on the CLR). Starting from VB6 and a novice programmer? VB.Net has advantages over C#, IMO.

There are if you use language extensions like Packed Objects on the IBM JVM or Object Layouts on Azul.

So just like C, you have C and then GCC C, clang C, ....

Eventually Java 10 will fix this, but for those that like to live on the edge there are already snapshots available.
I love the idea of encouraging civic engagement. And there are probably things that can be done on a political level to make the playing field more even. We have the responsibility of making those things happen and supporting civil engagement via vacation policy is a good way to enable it.

It's just easy to forgot sometimes that many of us do come from a place of privilege so it's good to remind ourselves of it sometimes.

It's odd to me the government doesn't incentive participation in politics more and yet we have things like compulsory jury duty.
If the experiment you need to prove a model is an experiment that occurs naturally without intervention, you can prove a model just with observation.
Licensing x86/AMD64 requires licenses from both Intel and AMD, which probably would be quite expensive, even if they can threaten to go ARM otherwise, and engineers with the low-level experience probably are way harder to find than for ARM (where quite a few companies hold various levels of licensing, and Apple likely already has quite a lot of talent inhouse)
Boats. Was actually told this first day I started working there. Won't be going into production until after pickup truck is out in the market. Looking at early to mid 20's time frame.
Do we have a choice right now? Not asking that rhetorically, is there actually a manufacturer left who makes decent Android phones that don't use a Qualcomm chipset, because I agree this bullshit needs to end.
The point is that "election hacking" is an intentionally misleading phrase. A Pew poll found that, after this media circus, half of Hillary voters believed that Russia had tampered with vote tallies.

The NYT and WaPo (among others) are incredibly biased, and much of the problem is that their support base is too sheltered to understand how. I've said more on this in previous comments.
If you used this framework you wouldn't be maintaining web code in C.
Um, whose words? From what you said, I can't make out who you're talking about.
Voiding contracts in these circumstances is usually exactly what the (former) employee wants. Even if there's outstanding payment, voiding the contract doesn't negate the need for payment on at least a quantum meruit basis for work already done.
Definitely going to complicate things but it could easily end up worth it for a laptop if it can reduce power usage to almost that of a phone when not doing anything particularly demanding.
I laughed as I read your comment (not the way you intended).

"Try VB.Net, the perfect language choice for stroke victims."
In my personal opinion, whether or not Luckey violated the NDA is a little academic. Clearly, the $3 billion acquisition occurred on the reputation of John Carmack, who was poached.

I don't think you should charge $500 million for a poaching. That's the crux of my anticompetitiveness argument.

Nonetheless, you definitely shouldn't charge $500 million for merely violating an NDA, even if that's what the jury found.

In my experience, docker itself is not very stable, and swarm is nowhere close to Kubernetes offers.
I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here. RunKit does not send you a container for you to interact with manually, in fact there is nothing in the RunKit UI to "mess around" with the container itself. RunKit is a coding notebook that is backed by containers (and automatic shrink-wrapping of dependencies) to guarantee determinism over multiple runs. In other words, it is a code snippet, but with a run button attached.

Nothing prevents you from 1) copy pasting the code to your own computer to run it exactly the same way as you would have previously done, or even better 2) hitting the "download" link on the left which downloads the code + shrink-wrap file so you are using the same dependencies as the user. On top of that, we have also made stack traces and other elements of the UI a lot friendlier.

From a reproducibility perspective, the notebook represents an undeniable instance that the bug did happen, along with all the background information you are usually asked (what version of node? what version of package? any other dependencies?). The goal is to make that all apparent in the code itself, vs extraneous other files like package.json or such. Here is an example: https://runkit.com/tolmasky/my-bug/1.0.0

If you are interested in the underlying technology, we've documented it here: http://blog.runkit.com/2015/09/10/time-traveling-in-node.js-...

"Mrs. B." was a total hustler (in a good sense). I grew up going to NFM.

We were once there to buy carpet; she's wheeled up to us in her cart (she had to be 80+ at the time), nearly hit my little sister and basically said "what price do you need to purchase this carpet today?".

She was famous for running the sales floor, even though she could have long retired prior.
I don't believe there is any perfect system.

Don't people who work part time already have time to do civic engagement?

Paying for them to do so would have the effect of amplifying their voice at the expense of others.
And the PS3 before it. And the WiiU, and the Wii. And every AMD chip since about 2013 (AMD Platform Security Processor, their equivalent of Intel's ME).

Honestly, pretty much every complex electronic device (and quite a few not so!) out there has a bunch of ARMs inside of it doing system management. This is borderline a non-story IMO.

Hell, an ARM7TDMI was a pretty common core to use on SD cards a few years back. The damn things are everywhere.
Personal Genome Data: to share or not to share
You are right, I was just going with what the grandparent said. But I think with normal amounts of class scanning and other overhead, 1.5 seconds becomes the practical normal.

Certainly the JVM startup always feels slow, in my experience.
Exactly, that's the whole point of git. Your entire code base is distributed (or at least everything you push out to a remote). Unlike CVS/SVN, you have that whole copy and collective history of everything that was pushed in that repo.

If you want to move it, in most cases you can simply create a new bare repo on another remote and push yours to it. It's probably the easiest system out there to simply pick up your data and go, unlike the walled gardens of social networking, video (YouTube isn't video, it's video + annotations + another ecosystem of tools that's not easy to export), and other services.

Even blog software isn't as resilient. You still have to export your Wordpress or Ghost blog when you want to move it. With git, when you work on it, you already have a full copy (with a few exceptions of course, like remote branches people prune without merging or local branches people never push).
> I am (was) the only out transgender reporter at Marketplace or, that I know of, at any national radio outlet.

> I have had a very successful career and done a lot of interesting work

> I have reported daily stories for the Marketplace Morning Report, often writing two different stories before 9 a.m. which air to millions of people. I am known for being meticulous, accurate, and always on deadline.

I get the impression this person thinks very highly of themselves and I personally can't shake a feeling of entitlement for the job as the recurring theme here.

> The VP said she believed I’d shown what kind of journalism I want to do — I think the assumption was that I want to do advocacy journalism

It's possible the article did in fact make the managers uncomfortable which represented a culture clash that they are trying to avoid, apolitic or whatever. It's possible someone complained. It'd be good to hear both sides.

But either way it sounds like a bad place to work if they would fire you for writing done on personal time. The fact the content was about the job you were doing there might add some relevancy but I agree they should have approached the person first and handled it more carefully.

Finding a better place to work that fits their personal views seems like the solution here. I don't really see this as a martyring for the political cause the author happened to write about in their blog post they got fired for. I don't fault any company for being selective with the work culture they are creating.
Easier cross-device native animations puts a point in the 'app' column for the 'app v web-app' debate. nice one airbnb.
To the contrary. The signal-to-noise ratio here is not as good as I would like, but I can still find reasoned, thoughtful comments from people who don't think like me. It's still better than almost anywhere else.
NEWS FLASH: Billionaire gets what they want by spending millions of dollars

I think it helps to imagine Peter Thiel as a comic book supervillain. He wants to live forever, so of course he's going to have a remote HQ to flee to in an emergency.

He may or not be a bad guy, but I think it's pretty clear that he has one standard for himself and another standard for others.
Ha, yeah. I was about to say that is the coolest thing about the car. And it is already a cool car.
Not really, the ARM in the SB is much more like a ILOM system; not much different from the various processors scattered around hardware these days, be it ARM or some other more niche architecture, or even special-purpose archs.
Not that well. The java.base module is still huge. Also, Zulu has nice pre-packaged JDK9 downloads[0] so you don't have to build.

> Sad to hear that they think a bunch of litigious assholes deserve $500 million for getting a signature on an NDA.

Wait, so if the guy actually abided by the contract he AGREED to, you know as a trustworthy reliable integritable individual, then Zenimax would have the first mover advantage and market lead on this burgeoning market. In this parallel reality that has nothing to do with their ability to execute.

They were deprived of that, in actual violation of an actual contract, and you find this aggregate decision of a jury sad?

You are kidding right?

Typically NDA's stipulate damages and punitive damages, as trade secrets are protected in the United States. The punitive damages are intended to deter someone from doing the same action again. Damages are calculated by extrapolating market value of secrets disclosed.
As a requester I'm aiming for federal minimum wage which, to my knowledge, is above average, but still very low of course. Most turkers are doing a tremendous job, but there are also quite a few bad apples who are consistently trying to cheat. It's amazing how much thought some people invest in finding ways to cheat when they could just do the freaking task. I'm not just losing data because of these people, I also have to screen the all data incredibly carefully. As a requester, I have to price this in and this hurts honest turkers. I feel sorry about this, but I just can't justify paying as if everyone was doing great work.

> Identity politics are garbage.

I agree, stand-by to be down-voted into oblivion. Besides journalists should report the news instead of being the news or creating non-issues as in a lot of cases. I call it the oprahfication of the commons.
It looks like they sued in May 2014, and the acquisition closed in July 2014, so it looks like facebook just didn't do adequate due diligence.
Stay tuned. It will work on the web as well :)

I'd say consulting the book Peter Thiel wrote in which he describes multiculturalism as existing "to destroy Western Culture" might be a reasonable way of gaining insight into his intentions.

Hats off to you for putting what seems like a lot of thought and effort into the hiring process, and for explaining the process well...although on first read it seems like a fairly arduous process.
"proposed" changes.

I'm living in the same situation in NSW. There is no recourse that I know of, unless your strata has a non-smoking by-law, which almost none do. The proposed changes to strata laws will AFAIK only apply to new developments.

We are currently looking to move since some addicts moved in next door, but there is no guarantee the next place we move to won't have the same problem. Asthma attacks caused by a selfish person's addiction are no fun.

The government is ignoring the suffering of non-smokers forced to live near these disgusting addicts.
> But still -- $500M is "not material" to their finances?

You just issue a few billion dollars worth of bonds in Europe, and all the investors are excited about getting exposure to a Silicon Valley company.

Don't have to pay them back for 10-30 years. So, basically not material.

I have searched the gitlab website and repositories looking for processes and procedures addressing change management, release management, incident management or really anything. I have found work instructions but no processes or procedures. Until you develop and enforce some appropriate processes and the resulting procedures I'm afraid you will never be able to deliver and maintain an enterprise level service.

Hopefully this will be the learning experience which allows you to place an emphasis on these things going forward and don't fall into the trap of thinking formal processes and procedures are somehow incongruent with speedy time to market, technological innovation or in conflict with DevOps.
Sure it does. His statements about his motivations are consistent with his actions. It's remarkable, actually, just how consistent it all is, and that's part of the reason people admire him.
Would you be willing to share some of those ideas? I can contact you privately if you prefer.
Now if the media reports on something you don't like someone else will tell you what you want to hear.

I don't see the problem. I don't want to hear lies, therefore I create a demand for true news. I don't need a nanny facebook/google/state telling me what news I like, and neither does the rest of the population.
John von Neumann[1] you had in mind died 1957, while the car built was finished in 1959. So I guess it is a different one.

They don't have to suppress the media if they just undermine their credibility. I think this is the strategy and they are successful with it. If people view the New York Times and breitbart.com as equally biased then you have a problem.

So either your lawyers wrote terms against your request or you originally thought it would have been cool to own it all.

Or you have incompetent lawyers. None of the above really reflect well on you.
This demonstrates a remarkable lack of empathy. Try understanding why people on the business side do what they do—it's almost never out of malice or desired authoritarianism.

Working with people is hard, specifically because you have to get outside of your head and think about how they see the world.
