Wah?
It's generally a good idea not to delete anything on a relevant drive after receiving a litigation hold. The jury is not going to draw a favorable conclusion from that combination of facts if you do.

And they shouldn't. A good way to think about the task of a jury is to ask: if I take 100 situations where these facts are present, what conclusion is correct in the plurality of cases? They are not there to speculate about alternative explanations, they are there to pick the explanation that is more likely than the others.
I really don't give out that info on a regular basis. Unlike the first example you can for example pay in cash, which is not necessarily anonymous, but generally acts that way. Store loyalty cards are another example of something used to track people you really don't need to use.

Now, I do carry a cellphone around so that exists. But, the vast majority of organisations have no access to that information.

There are two ways this has played out over the last 13 years. a) Canonical develops an open source solution to a real problem but RH and others choose not to contribute or adopt (e.g. bzr, Launchpad, upstart, Mir, Unity, LXD, Juju, Snaps, et al.). Or b) Canonical adopts open source tech from RH or others and works hard to deliver it nicely for Ubuntu users (e.g. KVM, Compiz, systemd, Ceph, etc.). Either way, inevitably Canonical is perceived as evil by an unweilding segment of the tech community, for either not adopting RH's solution or not contributing enough to RH's solution. How much should Canonical care about the unreasonable opinions of a handful of noisy Fedora fans?

Thats unbelievable. Even if thats an exaggeration and the actual number is closer to what the government claims (60,000) thats a jaw dropping number for an order that went into place a week ago.
Meh... dreams can be very nasty and hurtful. When I dream bad, I am frecked up entire day.
The reasons seem to be fairly consistent regardless of the size of monorepo [1]: cross-cutting concerns (keeping commits/changes together that target a lot of different modules) and integration testing effort (testing a lot of different modules together).

These may not be problems that everyone feels as sharply, but they can be problems that nearly everyone might face at some point. Having these problems isn't even necessarily a sign of bad architecture: at some point all of your software likely has to play nice together on the same machine.

Certainly there are solutions beyond just monorepos, but monorepos are a very well understood, ancient solution (that seems to be making a comeback of sorts, despite many of the other solutions being easier and more powerful today than they were back when monorepos were about the only solution).

[1] I've seen tools like Lerna (https://github.com/lerna/lerna) used for a managing several relatively small "monorepos" lately.
Thanks for your interest in Azure ML! I am part of the product team and I am happy to answer any questions you have.

Specifically on pricing, once the model is built using the Azure ML Studio, the deployed web service can be accessed by using the dev/test tier. The purpose of the dev/test tier is for you to play around with the web service and ensure that it is giving you the results you are expecting. Once you are satisfied with the results and plan to go into production then we have paid tiers starting at 100$ per month (Standard S1) which includes 100K API calls and 25 hours of compute.
The exact plan you might need (S1,S2 or S3) depends on your application and the number of calls / compute it uses up. You can change / cancel plans at any time paying only for what you used.

Here [1] is one case study of Track Revenue, a startup using Azure ML to optimize marketing offers for its customer’s campaigns. They are a member of the BizSpark program [2](mentioned earlier on this thread) at MS which offers startups a significant number of free azure credits that can be applied against any Azure service usage including Azure ML.

Let me know if you have any further questions. You can reach me directly at roopalik@microsoft.com.

What does it matter that the goods are cheaper if you don't have a job to provide income to purchase said goods?

And while labor-saving tech is, overall a good thing, there are lots of people still counting on those mundane jobs to put food on the table. And so far, no one is willing to think of what happens to them, or prepare for when those jobs go away. And if we don't do that, if we rely on "the market" to do the right thing, we will see that epic labor shortage which leads to the dystopian future.

First, the article doesn't discuss 'whiteness'

Your argument is basically that if the word doesn't appear in the original article, we should be able to hold a discussion of that concept that refers to the article. There is a lot more to reading comprehension than iterating over a bag of words to see whether they appear in a given corpus.
Ask HN: How should we handle calls from other vendors?
We are a startup that provides Business Intelligence services to car dealerships. We have been approached several times recently by other software vendors -potentially future competitors- that want to know more about our technology.
We are wondering how should we approach these kind of calls? Should we ignore them with the fear of revealing too much info? Should we be open about it and tell them how are product works? We have been quite open until now.
If you have been in a similar situation what was your experience?
Thanks!

The whole premise of there being a single function or main function of sleep seems slightly far-fetched IMHO.

For example, is the brain's function to think rationally? To speak and understand language? To unconciously regulate bodily functions?

Wouldn't it be more likely that due to the brain's multifunctional nature that an evolutionairly pruned process has developed which encompasses multiple necessary subroutines (energy preservation, memory consolidation, waste cleansing, etc.)

I like Carmack, but my first instinct is actually that there's something to the claims. He and Romero basically founded ID software by using their than current employers resources/paychecks. So engaging in similar behavior when going from Zenimax to Oculus wouldn't exactly shock me.

> EDIT: Looks like anything positive about Nehru is a magnet for downvotes.

> We were in the process of 'getting there'. Irrigation networks were laid, nuclear weapons were built, space programs were in motion.

There are more issues in your post that make it downvote worthy. For example, you consider nuclear weapons and a space program a sign of progress, while many in your country live in abject poverty. Maybe you could use that money for infrastructure, then you wouldn't have to raise taxes? I'm sure the expertise created by these programs is totally worth the investment. Regardless, there are far more important developmental milestones in a country before either of these goals make sense.

> Beyond all this 'capitalism' suddenly got fashionable. Why work and build indigenously when you could just pay and import?

Or this gem. Because capitalism is such a fad, and not the result of world history/economics. You need something to buy imports with. If imports aren't cheaper, making it "indigenously" makes sense! Otherwise, maybe just import it and focus on something else. You can argue that capitalism isn't great, but so far there's nothing better in practice.

Spare us your simplistic, vague and condescending history lesson. If you have any insight, analysing the situation in more depth and looked at how other countries handled similar situations and why/why not that applies to India would be much more valuable.
In India many people use copper vessels (jugs, pots) to store drinking water and then drink it from them. Supposedly for some health benefits. Don't know if there really are any or not.

Also, many men were widowed and then remarried, perhaps multiple times. Many of my male ancestors from that time had 3 wives, no divorces, and at least 2 children from each wife. Some of them may have had illegitimate children, but those are much harder to verify genealogically.

Volunteering is definitely a good way to meet people (as is joining a dance group or sports team) - but just having a space to hang out, play a social game, and/or talk with people would be nice.

In theory, yes. This is what they should have done. But now that they have violated our trust, our ad blockers are going to block even their legitimate self-hosted and managed ads. Some people will white-list, but not nearly enough to make up for the expense of managing ads in house.
That issue has actually been fixed. Google Haps is completely useable with a magi mouse (before, it was approximately 50x too sensitive, because of the magic mouse's higher resolution).

> I read "you are not just stupid, you're stupid on purpose"

I think that's right, but without using the insult "stupid", it says the same thing. But an insult has no content, where as this does i.e "you are misunderstanding on purpose"

A constructive criticism can be 'insulting', but this isn't the same as a pure insult.

> "You're intentionally avoiding my question" - objective statement, not an insult and can be discussed further.

Is this not the same as "you're being intentionally obtuse"?

> "You're intentionally being a dumbass" - subjective statement, an insult and a non-sequitur

Because it uses the word "dumbass", which is an insulting label rather than a description of behaviour. But " intentionally obtuse" is a description of behaviour also, and is also as objective as "avoiding my question" in context.

It's only a non-sequitur if you misunderstand what it means in context. I think "you're being intentionally obtuse" would be fairly clear in context?

>working with its output is now also async, you cannot 'wait' for it ... , but until that functionality exists in JS, working with node, for me, is a pile of junk code, especially when libraries force you to use them asynchronously

Asynchronicity is something that Node makes explicit and necessary for I/O, and it's practically a core principle of Node and javascript. If you try to avoid asynchronicity entirely, then you're not going to get much further than you would if you tried to avoid classes in Java.

Async/await is a very useful syntax sugar to working with promises, but it's not built to let you ignore asynchronicity entirely.

It makes sense. I install ublock on my parents computers, because without ads to send them off course when they are browsing, they are much less likely to get malware. And it works. I've often wondered how they ended up with so much malware on their computer and I'm now convinced that ads are a big cause.

By using software to block digital advertising, critics say, users are breaking an unwritten pact with websites and digital publishers, many of which generate the bulk of their revenue from these ads.

...

In those regions, people’s efforts to block malware disguised as online advertising has been the main motivation for downloading ad blockers.

First, "critics say" a lot of things. And that "unwritten pact"? Yeah, you wanna know why it's unwritten? Because it doesn't exist. However, the second part that I quote undoes any kind of morality tale "critics" would like to spin. Users were apparently willing to tolerate a degree of advertising (which, BTW, is a loooong way from any kind of a pact), but after a point they'll turn the tap off if there are tools available to do so.
> It's madness. And only works because the train is already rolling and most people are blind of what FB is doing behind the curtains.

I basically gave up explaining that because I have to explain how to use FB as a promotion tool and I can't undermine it at the same time because I would lose credibility and leave people more confused than when they came.

> Twitter is actually OK in my opinion as it is obviously a more PR like channel by design. (Also Instagram for showcasing new products etc.)

No, unfortunately it really depends on the niche/market you are following or trying to get into.

> I think that FB sites are a poor substitute for well designed unique websites with depth and relevant information.

> The question is how to get viewers or subscribers. But since FB started out as a "personal/friends" service I think that ads and PR will soon be perceived as spam. When people start waking up that is.

Ditto. With websites we have full control of our statistics and data. I sometimes think that messenger/bot will be the demise of social networks. If somehow marketers can get people to subscribe to bots (with a common API that would abstract whether you are using whatsapp, telegram, etc.) then social networks leash would loosen a bit. That would mean we would be back to something looking a lot like e-mail but whatev'.

I am not tailored for marketing anyway so I am pretty sure I am talking bs.
I don't even have an opinion at this point, I'm not educated enough on the case. Though I think the case is sort of fundamentally absurd, in that Zenimax made games, Carmack helped get their games working on a VR headset. Then left to make VR headset, which Zenimax didn't make. The whole premise is odd to me. I wouldn't really care if he did copy his own code.

>“Ad blocking is a detriment to the entire advertising ecosystem,” Paul Verna, an analyst at the research firm eMarketer, said in a statement. “The best way for the industry to tackle this problem is to deliver compelling ad experiences that consumers won’t want to block.”

Compelling? I'd settle for "non-instrusive" and "won't force my computer to run potentially malicious code".
Surely =)

I made the mistake of pretty much removing the consumption of meat and fish and increasing that of lentils, beans, garbanzos, avocado, etc., which are usually quite high in copper. In fact, I didn't even eat egg. So you end up with no animal protein, which usually has zinc (antagonist of copper) and with an excess of copper. So at that point it was a pretty vegetarian (almost vegan diet). if you are careful enough and take zinc, I suppose you could make it work, but I obviously had no idea about this. I also ate more fruit than I should have, which has quite some sugar in it, which also is bad for the absorption of zinc. So yeah, some mistakes here and there :D

Apples and Oranges. Do you live 1000s of miles away from friends and family so that your baseline is never seeing the people rather than seeing them in person.

Modern communications tools make living away from Family much better than anytime in history with email, unmetered long distance phone, video conferencing, chat, sites like facebook, etc.
