I don't think reporting him helps. Denying the Armenian genocide is one of his main past times, on twitter and off twitter. He is also the world's expert (and only expert) on the fabled Azerbaijan genocide. I'm not Azerbaijanian or Armenian, I can't imagine devoting so much of my life to hating another ethnic group.
If you start behaving like that, expect foreign governments/clients to ban/boycott american providers.

Jurisdiction is an important concept, and if the american justice starts using the good economic position of its companies to bypass or expand its jurisdiction, it should be expected that the feedback will effect said economic position.

While this case seems to be a bit different from the Ms case, the court essentially orders a private entity to take action in a foreign country, something which it could not do itself. This seems wrong to me. Instead, the issue is probably that this info should probably not be foreign if the producers were domestic.

I'm a heavy rstudio and Python user and have been wondering how the new MBP would perform with those apps rather than just video, thanks for posting
Because Mir.

And upstart maybe. And Unity.

Because they have their own stuff and no one else has, roughly speaking (there's no Fedora desktop environment, no RedHat init system, okay, now there's systemd, but that's seen as Lennart's not RH's, or whatever).

Also, it's mostly noise, don't take it too seriously.
except in this case politicians gave their vote to the public.

If you disagree, I would be interested in understanding why it would be ok to ask for the publics opinion, and then disregard it.

You're right in that politicians are elected to represent us, but in this instance they assumed the public would vote for what they wanted.

I wonder what effect this has on international relations and treaties. How will the U.S. government respond when a European Union country's authorities furnish a warrant to Google for information about U.S. persons, using the same precedent?

I find it hard to believe this doesn't conflict with at least one of the treaties the U.S. has signed with the EU.
No details of input power to the transmitter nor power received by the receiver.

Companies have demo'ed similar devices before, but where the rubber meets the road is the efficiency and total power of the system. In other words, if it takes 200 watts to transmit and 200 milliwatts received at 3 feet, it is not useful for a consumer nor the environment.
That's not really a good solution, if you setup your own personal email server your outgoing emails in many cases will unfortunately end in a SPAM box since they will originate from an unknown server.

I've actually really liked the keyboard and mouse-pad, but I came from a windows laptop. Keys give a firm click which is very satisfying for me despite low travel. Track pad is expansive and glorious, always used a mouse before on a laptop, don't see the need now except if I try gaming on it. Weirdly no problems with it picking up my wrist and jumping around.

I definitely find the up/down arrows to be annoyingly small, though.

If they get this right, this can be MASSIVE for Microsoft in Enterprise. ClearCase was the reason why IBM was able to charge $1000+ per developer license fees.

ClearCase did what a lot of Enterprise companies needed at the time, and most importantly, it created hooks, that were mostly too difficult to remove. Once you create deep integration with ClearCase, you are very much committed to using it long term.
In my case: pretty bad brain fog (especially when trying to bring the copper down), bad mood, sleep and digestive issues, no energy whatsoever, and depression. It depends on whether you are actively trying to bring it down or not (you could call it detox, but this word has gotten a bad press, so I would rather not use it).

Don't you mean "copper not included" if cooked oyster imparts more copper?
> lack of inertia.

What? No, im pretty sure that some people knew what friction was and that if theoretically, there was none of it, things would continue to move. Thats intuitive to me.

Fair example; ive read this old theory before.

Blood letting is still somehow advised as being healthy for certain conditions (too much iron, and "resetting" a percentage of ones blood. That or they just really want people to donate)
Plus you even admit that youre not sure about it being 'false' fact brought by intuition, so why even include that?

OP's point is not that intuition is infallible. Not much is infallible (perhaps nothing, if one is atheistic)
It's that science has seemed to shunt/reduce/eliminate the intuition of a subsection of the population. It's his opinion (and mine) that this has harmful effects that are worth examining.
I agree on the immigrant status point of view. But when the abuse happens in their own (India) country too. I suspect there is much larger problem - mindset of IT Managers.

It works like this:

--

H1B minimum wage is $60,000 ( precisely $56,000 ). When my friends came over, they were getting $3000 a month wherein you were charging clients like Bank of America over $6000 a month. Mind, this is just the profit Infosys makes out of one H1B employee.

--

Indian IT companies made lot of profit with each employee. They will get X amount from US-client but pay only X/2 to employee in US (to outsourced employees its typically X/10). Thus now it affects the companies profit margins!
No, Google is being presented with an American court order.
There is a nasty little issue that is not very well communicated: cheating.

There is a non-zero amount of grads from prestigious to lousy universities and boot-camps that cheated. Some cheated a little bit, some cheated the whole way. But this may be a factor in the STEM issue. Some non-zero amount of prospective hires may have the cred, but the company can identify them quickly as hacks.

I'm going to go out on a long limb here and say that most grads from large research universities cheated their way through and know squat all.

Too bad the ultimate client for these "body shops" isn't listed. Would bet that's heavily represented by those in the fortune 500. I can think of at least one company in the top 10 that is not going to benefit from paying a rate that will support 130k/yr salaries.
The article mentions a "coin-sized chip," although it's hard to say if that refers to the transmitter or refers to the receiver.

One of the older articles about uBeam stated that a trickle charge for IoT/Phone was the target after the physical limitations were discussed.
I teach online courses and have had students report back to me that the course helped them get a job or pass an interview, but it's pretty much always in addition to their own self study and experience. an online course can definitely help you get a job, but it alone probably won't be enough. although more and more I see online courses or degrees that guarantee a job or your money back, do that might be with checking out.
Wait a minute, your premise is easily susceptible to a counterexample. Take a 2-employer world with 1 candidate. Let's say both employers have the same desire for the candidate, i.e. no matter what salary one employer offers, the other will offer the same and if one employer believes a salary is too high so will the other.

This system will perpetually be in a shortage. No matter what rate is offered, at least one employer will go without an employee.
Which company did you employ to get around adblock? I've tried to research this space for my own site, but I've failed to find any.
It might help a bit to explain their business model.

Infosys (and similar companies) flood the H1-B lottery system with tens of thousands of applications. They bring those who win to the U.S. where Infosys contracts them to U.S. companies in development, onsite techsupport/IT, and various lower cost roles. U.S. companies pay Infosys a premium to contract these employees.

Infosys is in the market of selling people. They are gaming the system, and making it harder for high paid talent at Google/FB/Apple to get H1-Bs.
Python seems fine generally, but I don't use a Python IDE
Sorry I wasn't clear -- I always plug it in when I'm at my desk, and I'm hardly ever away from my desk for more than 4-5 hours. So I know it works that long at least. Past that... I mean I haven't deliberately not plugged it in just to test...

I got through a movie and a handful of Rick and Morty episodes while on a flight... Drove home from the airport late so I just went to sleep... hit the "Lower Power Mode" warning as soon as I opened it the next day. It wasn't plugged in that night... Battery life seems reasonable. It doesn't seem amazingly better than my old MBP.

I actually switched to Bing maps, because it was stupider, less helpful, and therefore more likely to give me the information I'm looking for.
McNaughton Newspapers | Digital revenue coordinator | Fairfield, Davis, Placerville, Winters, Georgetown, CA (& remote considered) | Systems department

I'm working to build up the digital side of a family newspaper company. Join me for hard, but rewarding, work building for news and other local businesses in Northern California.

As CTO I hit the reset button on digital strategy in 2015 and we're now seeking a profit-minded #2 to help with our abounding digital growth, reporting to me. Everyone in the family wants to move the business forward and we're limited by our digitally-dedicated resources, not bureaucracies or lack of imagination. The position would represent the 1st employee fully focused on digital operations. Revenue support is the obvious first area we're expanding.

I've got a fixed salary budget that can scale to match experience. Ideally I'll find a partner with a history and desire to tackle major revenue responsibilities:

* WordPress management (marketing pages, SEO, forms)

* DFP management (trafficking)

* Campaign management (landers, display/text creatives, spec ads)

* Salesperson support (help requests, FAQs/documentation, walk-throughs)

* Reporting (revenue and analytics, Excel/Google Sheets)

* Prospecting (research and analysis)

* Salesperson support (help requests, FAQs/documentation, walk-throughs)

* Customer support (Google Slides presentations, capability marketing, advertiser onboarding)

* Ecommerce (products, discounts)

* 3rd party revenue management (Affiliate, ad networks, placements, audiences/cookies)

The challenge: We're reaching more people than ever before, but 9 out of 10 our customers don't pick up a newspaper. How do we make money from a growing digital audience commensurate with print revenues that appear to be in secular decline? Our business is worth fighting for. Join the fray!

Interesting, I guess you have to be on the look out for some of that stuff to pick up on it. Probably some of the choices of casting and wording were based on these aspects of the book, but if you're not aware of them, they don't really stand out.

In hindsight, I guess it's obvious that Kay doesn't look like the other women in the family. As someone who considers Italians to be "white", it never really stood out to me as notable (aside from the fact that she was unfamiliar/uncomfortable with the family business). I also never would have associated going to war or going to college as rebelling against being Italian, just seemed like a normal thing for a kid to want to do. Probably you view some of these things differently if you've read the book...

Doctors and lawyers have controls in place to limit the supply of labor.
Part of it is that unions are associated with blue-collar work and developers feel that they are "too white-collar" for that sort of thing.

There's no collar boundary to unionization, of course, but there is a perception that there is.
I'm going to debunk you because as your business partner, I get to constantly annoy you with you loud eating, and this way you have an excuse for being mad.

It's not just the fact that they see a response in AIC that highlights the important aspect of this research, but rather the dissociation between sound evoked activity in controls vs misophonics. While control subjects found unpleasant sounds as annoying as the misophonics found trigger sounds, activity in AIC increased only in the misophonics, and only for the trigger sounds. Interesting to see also that for misophonics, AIC activation scales linearly with the degree of distress - I'm assuming this wasn't the case for unpleasant sounds (but I'm not positive and didn't read closely enough to tell).

You say it's not clear that it's a product of the way their brains are wired, but in the paper they highlight a potential for greater myelination in vmPFC in misophonics. They do this indirectly citing differences in magnetization transfer saturation. I don't know this technique, so I can't really comment on how legit it is, but it seems at least there's some effort to attribute this to structural rather than purely functional differences.

And yeah, of course it's always possible that it's some other factor that is underlying these effects, but I think this dissociation shows reasonably convincing evidence for pursuing more research on this condition (e.g., diffusion imaging to better understand potential structural differences)
10 hours!? Can't someone "wrap" a 10-second clip and let you play it in a loop? It's white noise, for pete's sake.
+1. I know some insiders at MS and their build/test/deployment story is universally very crappy. Things barely work, held together by curse words and duct tape.

Googlers like to joke internally that Google looks like a race car from the outside and like Moving Castle from Hayao Miyazaki'a cartoon from the inside, but that's not the case at all. Comparatively speaking it's a race car inside and out, it's just that the insiders don't know how shitty things are elsewhere.

P.S. I heard Bing is different, but I have no visibility into it, so can't comment.
Just to add more context for others...

C extensions called from Python are still subject to the GIL of the calling interpreter[1].

In fact, this guaranteed thread safety has led to the creation of many non-thread safe Python C extensions which is now a critical blocker to efforts to removing the GIL[2], although there are also a number of other issues as well.

As noted in the StackOverflow, you can release the GIL but there are some tricks to doing so safely[3].

But threads of a C extensions library are not necessarily pinned to a single core by the GIL like regular Python byte code.

Although many performance oriented libraries like numpy[4] forsake multi-threading by default in many cases and rely on parallelization by the user (programmer)[5].

Me too, and I hope someone will chime in and mention a variety of noise canceling headphones that block out voices. I'm in an open office space for the first time in a while, and finding it extremely stressful and distracting to hear other people talking constantly when I'm trying to focus.
Yes, very much so. Editing images on a train after a photo shooting is a great way to gain some time and do something productive while on commute. Besides, I take advantage of things still being fresh in my head, instead of trying to remember them on the next day
You...do appreciate the difficulty in finding these instances if they weren't bookmarked at the time, right? Also, just how silly it is to have the alleged censors say "Oh, well, that's news to me--can you find examples of the things we memoryholed?"

It might help if you folks kept a public moderation log.
You're right. Most developers don't care about these sort of issues. No need to unionize if you don't care about effecting change. And when you do, just send a donation and call it a day.
This is true. For instance, until recently (I think), Joshua Schachter (@joshu) of del.icio.us fame worked for them.
Doesn't work that way. The thing is as long as the people in the Justice Department get what they want, they are happy. They don't care about you.

Just like the NSA. Once they figure out a 0-day, they use it to hack foreign entities. They won't help fix it by telling the U.S. software company. In other words, they don't care if you get hacked.
That was it, thanks.

Compare that to macOS: Drag app in .dmg to 'Applications' folder: installed. Drag app from 'Applications' folder to trash: uninstalled.

And although the Mac App store has its flaws (draconian sandboxing) it also works like a charm.
What this really is that Amazon is boot stomping their competitors so hard that they are positioning for the government to step in and break up the fight.
