senior means different things in different places. More and more developers are considered "senior" just because of experience building basic web apps, doesn't mean they have a deep understanding of http/s, public/private key cyrpto, etc...

Agreed. I'm not sure why the original link is necessary at all. It doesn't add anything and seems to have been written for no reason other than to write a blog post. The author refers to Radiohead's first album as 'Honey Pablo', so it doesn't look like he actually paid attention to the original article.

A fair critique although Microsoft is also a government contractor. I suppose the difference is that their income is not entirely dependent on the government.
No. That makes about as much sense as asking if there's a turnkey service for product.

I mean, in both cases it's possible to hire competent people or firms to help you, but you still have to like actually be involved in the core work of getting customers.
If you call a lawyer in such a situation, they'll tell you that Customs has 100% discretion to admit or deny non-citizens and there is no such thing as "challenging" it.
It's a good idea, which is why it's common practice. Every Google Cloud service is set up this way, for instance.
Note to people reading this: module support in this post seems to mostly refer to the loading of modules. The spec is pretty clear about the syntax and semantics of modules, except when it comes to loading which it more or less says is "up to the runtime" to figure out.

There's some interesting (or not, depending on your POV) conversation/debate going on between the nodejs world and the browser world, which are – I suppose – the only two "real" runtime environments where JS is widely used.

There's a lot of effort going into figuring this out, but from a lowly developer point of view it's increasingly frustrating to see that two years on from when the module standard was ratified, we still have to resort to compiling modules to a yesteryear solution such as AMD, CJS, or even globals – or, if you're so inclined, all at once via UMD.

One big issue in figuring this out, as far as I understand it, is determining whether some JS code is ES2015+ or not, since the semantics of loading such a module changes. It may sound simple, but there's plenty of situations where the answer is ambiguous, but picking the wrong answer will result in a change of behavior for older code. Since TC39 is very wary of not breaking backwards compatibility (and kudos to them for it!) simply saying something like "assume ES2015" just won't do.

There was a proposal to change the module semantics to require ES2015 modules to include at least one import or export statement, since these would break in pre-ES2015 runtimes, removing any ambiguity in the syntax. Unfortunately, it seems this proposal is all but dead at this point. (And probably for good reasons I simply don't know about.)

DISCLAIMER: I may well be incorrect about the details in the above, but I think the overall picture is more or less correct.
Having a look at the history of autonomous cars [1] may be illustrative, the summary reads as follows.

Experiments have been conducted on automating cars since at least the 1920s; promising trials took place in the 1950s and work has proceeded since then. The first self-sufficient and truly autonomous cars appeared in the 1980s, with Carnegie Mellon University's Navlab and ALV projects in 1984 and Mercedes-Benz and Bundeswehr University Munich's Eureka Prometheus Project in 1987.

Autonomous cars are far from a new idea and companies and institutions spend serious amounts of time and money on this. The technology did not make it into production because it was not quite good enough, to expensive or the required computing power took up to much room. But if you started looking into the subject in the late 2000s or even later, then you are certainly late to the party and established car manufacturers and suppliers might have quite a head start for you to catch up.

> so i'd assume that short times more often is better

I wouldn't assume this. The logical end of this is to split your exercise into many tiny bursts throughout the day. But it's likely that sustained output is an important part of exercising. The shorter your exercise, the less likely you are to get your heart into an elevated range, the less likely you are to cause an oxygen-depleted state (which encourages vascular growth), the less likely you are to use a significant portion of your free glucose (which is important for insulin sensitivity), etc.

I don't know where the threshold is, but it seems like a bad idea to assume that shorter, more often is better. It likewise seems like a bad idea to assume that longer blocks are better (or just as good). Any exercise is far better than none, but there is a lot of support for ~30 minutes ~daily being extremely valuable. Absent evidence, I'd be hesitant to assume that some other arbitrary division of exercise would yield the same results.
Always tip a fixed 5$ if you get a good service, why tipping if you don't get a good service though?
I see the point, but your example is unfortunate. It turns out it is healthy/protective to go to church (and thus have a large support system) in both the current research and the earlier research that under-reported atheists/non-theists.

If you have been rejected recently you will be pulled in for secondary screening even if your on NEXUS.

Also, its difficult to get a NEXUS card if you have been rejected recently, but they wont take yours away for being turned back unless you did something against the rules of the program like fraudulently applied for a visa.
> there isn't any exit border control

There is, but it's done electronically by monitoring passenger records. It's very difficult to exit the US without creating a paper trail, which is vacuum up, so the DHS definitely has info (albeit noisy) when aliens don't leave.

https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-US-not-have-immigration-c...

One reason not to interview people when they are leaving is philosophical, or slippery slope, depending on your political persuasion. Exit restrictions are obviously very disturbing, being classic precursors to fascism/dictatorships, and generally immoral. (Yes, there are cases where people commit crimes or otherwise shirk duties and the state has a justification for preventing their departure, but these are relatively rare.)
It seems to me that the countries that maintained their Olympic facilities (England, Australia, US, Norway, Germany, China) all tilt to the wealthier end of the spectrum. Conversely, the poorer ones, Brazil and Greece, really couldn't afford hosting the games in the first place, let alone maintaining the venues afterwards. These days, its the wealthier countries that turn down the offer to host because of the costs while the poorer ones, often led by corrupt and bankrupt governments, are awarded the "honor" resulting into even deeper poverty for their people and short-term glorification of the government.

All big stores are doing it now in France (in large cities at least). It's called "<store>-drive" (like you would have a "Walmart-drive" in the USA).
Some are doing it next to the shop, others try new warehouses at different locations (because one of the incentives is to avoid traffic too).

It's far from perfect; but at least you don't have to walk the store for hours.

Also, no tip culture in France, but workers seem to run against the clock, so I suppose they have incentives to deliver fast.

Teslas "autonomous" tech is pretty much on par with the tech used by the classic OEMs. The difference is mainly in (sometimes misleading) marketing and the fact that Tesla is willing to accept higher risks. This might be good in terms of "pushing the envelope" but it can bite you badly if your immature systems are responsible for a growing number of accidents.
Or machines, can't think of anything else if we rule out humans. :)
You could do that or you could just keep it at the same facility for, say, 20 years and THEN move it. So a country could get a 20-year economic boost (hopefully, at least long-term) and at least re-use the facilities a few times

What "sovereign country" do you think you're talking about here? Are you a direct descendant of pre-Columbian indigenous inhabitants of the North American landmass?

Because if not, then you are not a citizen of a sovereign country, you are an European illegal alien, trespassing on land to which you have no legal claim of ownership or occupation, let alone sovereignty.

Most comments here seem to hate Peter Thiel, but when it comes to Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page (all whom seem to be in bed with governments since a long time and worked with Hillary Clinton's campaign staff), well there's nothing wrong there because democrats are the good guys, right?

What would you do in their place? They don't make the rules. Government does, and you vote for government. So don't try to blame them.

IBM, Microsoft and RedHat main clients are the US Government. You think they don't have backdoors? What about Google and Facebook?

For the record, I'm not even American so don't start calling me whatever you call Trump supporters. I'm libertarian.
>I never understood the mentality that unchecked power is only unacceptable when wielded by a government.

That's not really the libertarian mentality. It's closer to something like, any power (or just about any power) in the hands of a state with a legitimate monopoly on violence is unacceptable.

That mentality then manifests itself in policy proposals in a number of ways including decentralized military and police power (states rights, militias, second amendment, etc) as well as limited powers within jurisdictions, especially federal.
The study says that the effect wore off in less than an hour. I suspect (though they couldn't test this) that the effect lasts as long as your are exercising and stops quickly when you stop.
Gmail and Google Drive, my biggest ties. I can't see either of these going away, because like many mentioned these services are consumer based which Google seems to care about more. Well, I heavily use Adwords professionally and that support used to be pretty decent - though I feel it's gone downhill very quickly lately. Someone will answer your call but the expertise is lacking which is fine for your level 1 support but even their offshore "specialists" only seem to give cookie cutter optimization advice or the famous "add more money."

They've recently transitioned to this "beta" health checkup feature that gives the same advice except without people! It's automated and to be honest, it's even better than the support I was getting. This could view my stuff and if I was missing a critical component (I have a lot of ads running) it'll call it out.

I don't know what happened to Adwords but about a year ago, I had amazing onshore support and the person listened to business case scenarios and we would have discussions on possible strategies and ways to save money but be more effective.

I would love to be a fly on the wall on some of these higher up Google exec meetings on where they switch priority on a dime.

Time for the weekly reminder that if you don't have reason to believe that powerful adversaries are after you then you can use Telegram. If you feel just fine publishing on twitter or HN under you real name I guess you qualify.

Bragging about E2E encryption while feeding the Facebook data monster IMO is a bit like bragging about how you transport your slaves in armored vehicles:

Yes, they are safer against robberies.

No, [given my current threat model] I'd still prefer driving something less secure that isn't abusing my every action [and every action of everyone I communicate with] for the profit of Facebook.

Edit: clarifications, in square brackets and below

It seems no doubt that Whatsapp is safer against an 3rd party adversary.

My points are only that

- I consider Facebook an adversary at this point,

- I don't belive they bought Whatsapp and removed the fees because of the goodness in Mark Zuckerbergs heart,

- I don't believe they would update their privacy policy if they somehow thought they could get away with what they are planning to do under the old privacy policy.
This is an entirely unfair representation of the current state of Olympic venues in London. The Olympic stadium is used by West Ham Football Club every week for league and championship football. The Olympic village has been converted into state of the art affordable housing set in a gorgeous new green space.

The swimming and diving and velodrome facilities are state of the art, oversubscribed, and at the forefront of creating a new generation of athletes. I myself am having Kayaking lessons at the London White Water centre Olympic course.

Of course other major Olympic venues predated the bid and have continued to be in continuous use. Wimbledon, Wembley, the Excel, the O2, Eton Dorney...

London has not simply "abandoned" anything, and to pretend otherwise is dishonest.

I'm currently showing ~8.5M resident and ~4.6M shared. You can certainly do "better" than that with a different tiling window manager, but before going nuts trying to improve that or condemn XMonad/GHC, I'd definitely suggest running "top" and pushing "M" (capital matters) and seeing where it shows up in your listing. snapd and NetworkManager is taking more RAM for me right now than XMonad by a bit, and emacs, konsole, pidgin, thunderbird, clementine, and firefox all grossly outweigh it. Optimizing your window manager to take 1MB instead of 4MB of RAM is a complete and utter waste of time if you're running any web browser at all, that's less than a single big image's worth of RAM.
It's more complicated than that. Implicit synchronization and multithreading in libraries is error-prone, poorly performant, has a significant cognitive overhead. It's a liability if you are chasing performance and a liability if you aren't. So to be good citizens libraries have to assume that a user might need a complete control in choosing and using a concurrency model (of course unless they are the ones providing concurrency models themselves).

I want to believe a level 4 vehicle is possible but it feels too much to me like the flying cars if the 1950's. Even if the technology gets 99.9% of the way there who is going to assume liability for the car packed full of kids being sent autonomously to school?

This liability could potentially extend to literally decades and is what killed small private plane manufacturers in the US. In the 1950's it was assumed that the families "third car" would be a small private plane and the biggest challenges would be how to get around once you'd flown there (hence the need for the flying car. Today a Plane like the a Cessna is outside the reach of middle class families because of liability costs. Each Cessna sold has to factor in liability costs for every plane still in the air. It's the reason that prices for decade old planes appreciate over time.

The only market that I can see a level 4 vehicle being viable (assuming its possible) is fleet vehicles for taxis and where and for how long they operate can be strictly dictated and the private vehicle market would be left with very advanced driver assist.

There's not much evidence for that, and some evidence that heart health is improved by sustained submaximal exercise. In my experience the best improvements I have sustained in overall fitness have been from either very short, very brutal exercise (NOT just splitting up a dose of 30 minutes into easy sections) or from chilling out for 40-60 minutes at comparatively easy pace. The latter has been something that you can do all the time; the harsh interval training is something that seems to work in 2-3 week bursts with time off afterwards.

Anything is a lot better than nothing, but there is some evidence that there are all sorts of good effects from a longer session once in a while.

The other thing about phasing in short brutal intervals for a few weeks and mostly doing Long Slow Distance ("LSD") is that it's either over quickly or it's quite pleasant. I get most of the exercise in the more painful 'middle' of this continuum from sport.

EDIT: here's the article that got me interested in LSD style training. https://www.elitefts.com/education/training/echocardiography...
The Government is elected by the people, who have specific rights under the Consitution. Once you start letting other cultures, many of whom are hostile to US Culture walk freely across the border, the country won't last very long. You're seeing it play out in Germany, Sweden and other places where mass migrations has disrupted cultures and created pockets of lawlessness because the people have no affinity for their new governments. You might think they would be the most grateful people on earth, but that naive perspective assumes they were all really 'refugees' and that they all can simply forget their old cultures as soon as they cross the border.
