ReactOS is aiming for 2003 at the moment. A few years back it was 2000. Then previous versions of Windows before then. It's target has been upgraded every few years. I've been following and using ReactOS for about 15 years now. Trust me when I say I'm familiar with the project and what it's aims are and have been in the past.

Yeah you're right it's not reverse engineering in the technical sense. It's a lazy term to use because it sounds like the approximation of the process even though it's technically inaccurate. I should get out of that habit. :)

Well, equity used to be a concern of courts and was important enough to be mentioned in article III.
You can't just take one statistic amongst many and make overarching statements like this. Average brute salary is lower in Portugal (but not half, and then the tax systems are different). Portugal is a smaller market and the cost of living is also lower. Unemployment is much higher in Spain.

The reality on the ground is that both societies are quite similar. I don't know much about Greece -- except that it's the cradle of western civilisation. When did we start being so nasty to each other?
MVP Tester for an iPhone App
A pleasant good day to all. I'm looking for tech savvy individuals to test my basic iPhone app. In return, I'll offer free 1yr access but this app is targeted for the UK self-employed, although anyone can test once equipped with an iPhone 5 or later.

I'd like the individual to have an eye for detail, knows a bit about the accounting industry and to be self-employed. Being self-employed is not important. If you are interested, please to add your email address. It'll be highly grateful. Thanks.

Interesting. I was thinking most people from the target audience (tech) would have ad blockers installed. I can't imagine being a more or less tech-savvy and not using an ad blocker.
I think we are talking past each other. My google result says the same thing, it also lists "better" and "privileged" as synonyms.

I used the term preferential treatment to mean that in some cases the police may let a person go with just a warning but if that person has a camera they may come down on the person harder. In the case where the person believes the police will not act favorably to the individual or even illegally then filming would be in the person's favor. In that case filming would result in what I would call preferable treatment because it's still not "better" than treatment someone else would receive.

Privilege is a huge component in deciding if filming the police would actually be favorable to an individual. When I say preferential I am referring to the treatment certain groups receive from the police in general relative to other demographics.
Bullshit hunting: Digital (and digitalization)
Yeah Harvard doesn't use the same numbering systems as most other universities. It's up to the department if I recall and for the case department anything in the sub 100s were intro, 100-200 was for undergrad classes but could be taken for credit by students getting a masters degree and anything over 200 was graduate level (though open to motivated undergrads).
That's the complaint I've heard any reasonable person make: the culture of covering up for the disgusting actions of the bad apples implicates far more than the bad actors themselves. It may be beyond any individual cop to change the way the system works, but the culpability doesn't stop at the bad actors themselves.

I live in Tokyo and I don't own a car. I take a 20 minutes train ride to commute to work and I do the groceries in the shops around my train station. I use online shopping as well and I receive my purchase the next day or two days after. To move around my neighbourhood I use a bicycle (if I was older I would have an electric one).

The weekend I want to go out of the city, I just go to the rent a car next to my house and I rent a hybrid car during 48 hours for about $150. If the place I want to go is really far, I take the bullet train and I rent a cheaper car there.

It's perfectly ok to live without car, it's just that the cities need to be designed in a different way.

So what names do you think should be used instead of Monad, Applicative, Functor, .. ? (There was an interesting discussion about this on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9887728)

Funny, I actually prefer CAR and CDR in Lisp to FIRST and SECOND, and I learned it only a few years ago. (It seems to me that it's more poignant since the lists are composed of cons cells.)

I think it ultimately doesn't matter - the usage of the term dictates its meaning as much as the other way around (but this can again be my mathematical background talking, which explicitly tries to unteach you to intuit based on the names of things).

Silicon Valley Season 4 Trailer
Are you sure there is nothing difficult about that? When you're reasoning against your own hospitals, and your own children? When a nightmare of a human being keeps his own children near him as human shields?

If I'm to understand correctly, "We" are there to blow up hospitals and terrorize children, but also create propaganda to protect civilians from feeling bad?

Can you describe to me this large, tens of thousands at least, group of people that murders children on purpose but also cares about the feelings of all civilians? Specifically, without reinforcing the point that you'd be responding based on a tiny fraction of the intelligence that goes into these decisions.
FWIW, you can share two-factor authentication with your team too, if you want. Just have everyone's phones scan the QR code. It is less secure than everyone having their own password and two-factor, but it's still more secure than having the account protected by a "single password" alone.

Bill Gates: Robots Should Pay Taxes
Does it go on, though?
Right, except in the hard tech areas. I suspect it will becomes a bigger differentiation when setting the standard. Focusing on chrome would be a waste of immediate effort. It makes more sense to work on the commonalities of the energy infrastructure that augment the existing landscape than on what chrome goes best with the seat's heated-leather-ass-warmer. The luxury brands won't have the energy generation and storage solution to match. The competition has an enormous supply chain problem that's just getting worse unless they jump on board with Tesla's charging standard.
Scans do not need to be crazy expensive.

A Study on the Vulnerabilities of Mobiles Apps Associated with Software Modules
The question here may be: Do you believe that it is more likely that the government will pass a certain amount back to the people or are the companies going to do this volunteerly. I think for the 2nd part the answer is no with a high confidence. Which makes the 1st option the better choice?
The part you're looking for: "We conclude that First Amendment principles, controlling authority, and persuasive precedent demonstrate that a First Amendment right to record the police does exist, subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions."

But this wasn't an article about Loom pushing storytelling forward. It pushed interaction forward.

Adventure games like Zork wanted a sentence typed. Later, a sentence was constructed using a mouse.

Loom removed the sentence as the player's action upon the game, and realized the player's intent didn't have to be a literal sentence.

It's just as much a breakthrough as Nintendo understanding that "pressing up" on a controller to lift a racket could be replaced by lifting an arm with a controller in it, in the case of the Wii.

Who cares what the truth of the situation is? The person who either owns the account, or is being impersonated by it (depending on who you believe), wants that account to be closed. The obvious solution is to oblige them. :)
Especially in some european countries like Germany, where CCs are not very popular and can't be used in a lot of places, it's easy to think that they are ultimately bad because people get this false feeling of thinking they can afford things they actually can't or shouldn't. And for the individual that is probably true.

On the other hand, the economics effects of credit cards, or credit/loans in general can't be understated. Some industries and therefor technological advances like cars or housing for example, would never be where they are without credits/loans.

In the same way i think that a lof of things like computers, tvs, holidays would never get bought without the existence of credit cards.
And in the end all of that feeds the gigantic banking industry and can also be seen as the base of everything thats wrong with our financial system, as shown in the 2009 crash.
Tesla uses the same Tier 1 suppliers as any other automaker, so I don't really see why the Tesla production would be more vertically integrated. They have their own batteries but so do traditional automakers have their own ICEs and other key technologies.

You should have posted this right under the GP, not the parent.
I agree with you two above, but think the unmodified recording should not be for the public to see. To avoid pitchforks. Below is why I agree that bodycams are the real solution instead of citizens with cams.

Imagine someone records police violence and posts it online. Only they cut off the first half where the suspect did not comply and was aggressive.

Now there's an angry Internet mob which crowdsources the address, phone and a lot more, just from the recording of the police officer's face.

Sadly, in our time and age, it's the first one to report that has the patent to "truth".

> I'd never really thought about shivs before, but I've always felt that the available materials in duty free (after security) must be more than sufficient to blow a hole in the side of a plane (lots of aerosols etc)?

The reason explosives are only a minor threat to planes isn't that it would be hard to get one through, it's that the threat it poses isn't specific to planes.

> I guess the additional danger comes with a plane lands somewhere and a train has far less potential to cause massive collateral damage.

That isn't much of an attack vector when you can't choose the target. Nearly all of "somewhere" is bodies of water and open space.

> However looking at the tube bombings in London it is clearly possible to make a decent fist of terror using trains.

It's not about trains either. Someone could drive a car bomb into a nightclub.

A lot of the smaller attacks that have actually happened would have been dramatically worse if we hadn't lucked into the fact that the terrorists were incompetent. Although there may be a shared causation in that correlation.

> The changes to cockpit doors are far far more relevant, it's simply not practical to take control of a plane through threat of violence

Those are also a help, though somewhat of a risk too if a terrorist actually managed to get into the cockpit.

> Yes a bladed weapon will only let you harm a small number of passengers before being overwhelmed - but a couple of guns probably achieves the same. The clear difference being the chance of depressurising the cabin.

That changes nothing. Given the choice between certain death or likely death while saving a thousand people on the ground, the decision remains clear.

This goes beyond teaching for bsc, msc and phd students.

Scholar.google.com is becoming the central hub of science. My university is using Github for several CS classes. We have one course where you need to fix problems in a Github-based repo in order to pass the course. The entire course is also on Github: https://avandeursen.com/2013/12/30/teaching-software-archite... This goes beyond CS50, fix other peoples code, understand what 100k lines of code means.

Science is also moving to Github.

I run an open lab. All my weekly meeting notes and intermediate research results are public. All phd, msc, and bsc students in the lab report through Github. Amazing tool to keep track of progress.

Quite the opposite. He claims to want to secure the border. Anybody who has had their gentiles fondled by TSA might be suprised that you can get stuff over the border but not on a plane.

In fact it can last. Your information is wrong.

Amazon has a radically higher multiple than Facebook. About six times higher, being charitable with Amazon's flaky net income.

Facebook will hit $13 or $14 billion in net income for fiscal 2017. Explain to me how a 27 or 28 pe ratio is unsupportable when you're growing net income at 30% or higher.

Meanwhile Google is growing its net income at 18% with a PE of 30. A far more lopsided ratio than Facebook has now, and one that is going to get much worse in just the next four quarters.

So you're wrong on both counts. Facebook has the superior value proposition based on valuation to net income + factoring growth rate.

How else can they fund basic income when robots take over most jobs that humans used to do?
That is not why they do it. They do it because they are crazy, scared, stupid, malicious, or just using bad judgement. If anything, they became cops so they can lawfully use force against people but that's probably the minority of cops not the majority.
Cost inflation in the US is huge due to a combination of red tape, CYA, customers with good insurance subsidizing people with bad/no insurance, and many other factors. There's no simple answer, unfortunately. No one is entirely sure why medical costs are so high in the US. It doesn't appear to be any one factor that people commonly blame.

Fundamentally, they don't need to be expensive; via private medical tourism, you can get any sort of scan at a fraction of the US cost.

That's the thing- it really didn't. Loom was novel for its lack of violence, and lack of a way to lose. But games like Neuromancer predated Loom by years, and were already using (comparatively) complex interfaces, for example.
> TL;DR - the word "digital" became a real catch-all in 2016

No, it really didn't. The author might have found it in a few announcements and marketing blurb but it was in no way prevalent (and in no way did it peaked in 2016).
Source? Because I'm pretty sure that's completely untrue. Nervous tissue like the brain is the most resistant to radiation of any cell types in the body. Radiation affects faster growing cells the most, and nerve cells grow the slowest of any in the body. The brain is also the best shielded part of the body against x-rays, and the x-rays in a CT machine are necessarily highly collated, so unless your brain is getting scanned your brain is receiving almost zero dose.

If CT scans damaged the body, it would be visible in the lymphatic and immune system first, and way before any other systems.
> I think that building a good UI for the desktop is only possible if UI developers agree on "look-and-feel" and that may be simpler for Canonical than for a community like Debian and they came to the conclusion that building their own is just the way to go.

Yes, and it seems like a number of other distribution developers have come to the same conclusion as well. We really need some thoughtful analysis about this trend.

> AFAIK their home-grown desktop is FOSS, so it's not like you are buying into a proprietary system and this is tremendous.

Source availability is part of enabling a broader developer community, but there's a huge amount of other work that is needed, as well. I haven't looked at the current state of Unity development, but the reputation of the project is that it is built for Ubuntu.

> Ubuntu changed that and they really thought a lot about how to improve the Linux Desktop experience and IMHO they did very, very well.

I totally agree: Ubuntu really was revolutionary when it started. It's kind of amazing how many innovative things Mark Shuttleworth and his team did right at the start.

> That may be controversial, but I think there are often just 2 points of users; those that want it to just-work without any configuration and those who want to customize everything. I think Ubuntu is doing pretty well (currently, I hope that never changes) in both camps.

There is also a third audience for any piece of software that is large enough to be programmable: developers. For desktops, you have third-party theme authors as well as application developers, people that want to work on the desktop software itself, maintainers of other Linux OS components, and folks that want to use the source code to build their own custom projects.

Apple was the first company to make the smart phone as we now know it.

No, they went around it. The forest next to it was considered to be impassable by tanks (it wasn't).
I was using abstraction in the sense of "lambda abstraction", like a formally specified function with parameters.

Well, I had to remind myself what the actual design patterns "movement" is, and I get the impression that it's a dead movement with no development since the classic book and a very limited influence.

It seems that maybe the bigger problem is that there is no "theory of software" aside from a few interesting attempts like "algebra of programming" etc. That's why I can't really blame people for using software concepts that aren't formally specified.

What's your favorite alternative to design patterns, or like the path you think is more fruitful and good?
You're thinking small. Imagine the impact a bug in a FEM software package could cause if everything was then designed to be half the strength it should. Or a low quality chainsaw chain pin that would randomly break and release a sharpened chain at high speed. A propane water heater that isn't vented correctly, suffocating everyone in the house when the wind changes direction. Or even furniture that has screws that are too long, so the kid who jumps on the couch gets stabbed.

These kinds of examples are everywhere. Doctors aren't special snowflakes who hold human life in the palm of their hand, everyone from bus drivers to lawyers to electricians can kill people if they screw up.
