I've had a white iPhone 6 for over two years now and it hasn't been bad at all. Before it, I'd had a black iPhone 4 and a "slate" iPhone 5, so I needed the change. I'd recommend it.

I will be getting a black iPhone again next time I get one, though.
Because people use those languages for configuration, and Github is hugely popular for storing dotfiles. Configs are forked, tweaked, and reuploaded a lot more than "actual" programs, because popular starter packs and so on get huge followings, and there is a much smaller barrier to getting started playing around with them. Meanwhile, they're not really that complex, and most have other sources of question resolution (inbuilt docs, online communities often inside GH issues), so not much need to go to S/O.

I have a first generation iPad. I rediscovered it about four months ago after I moved. I reset it and could download and use older versions of Netflix, Hulu, Plex, and a few other video streaming devices. I even used a version of Google Drive to read PDFs.

The battery lasts about 5-6 hours for video playback. Apple lets you redoenload older compatible versions.
Ok, so the study actually tells us nothing about whether actual gay people are being discriminated against in employment as corporate executives. Instead, it tells us whether millenial Italians who have never had to think about employing a corporate executive, think that random gay people off the street fit their perception of who would make a good CEO.

I guess if you were going to do a first-pass to even see if people could be discriminated against for "sounding gay" it wouldn't be so bad but extrapolating any further than that seems like a big stretch.

I see two possibilities.

1. They don't have enough evidence to convict, and know it, and thus are waiting for this evidence. The problem here being a question of how are they sure enough of guilt to hold him in jail for so long.

2. They do have enough evidence to convict, but they rather have a precedent destroying (or weakening) encryption. This would be like the San Bernardino iPhone case.

I'm not sure which possibility is worse.

I would be wary of basing those choices on these data. If I just learned about the concept of programming languages for the first time, I might refer to this for a vague understanding of which languages are popular--I might not opt to learn Coq over JavaScript, but it's not obvious from these data that picking JavaScript will be of greater benefit to my career, interests, or organization than Scala. This seems like one metric to consider, and not even a very good one. In particular, popularity on StackOverflow should probably count against a language, but these rankings consider it a virtue.
First, from what I am hearing, there was overall lower number of badge sales for SXSWi. The sometimes large attendance at sessions was masked by the fact that SXSW now allows any ticket type entrance to various events, but only prioritizes certain badge holders.

Second, overall attendance at unofficial events was significantly lower from previous years. Previously you faced huge lines for most parties, but many such lines, if any, cleared quickly this year.

Third, investment by startups in their own official events was significantly lower this year. Startups either attended without running their own events or participated in other party's events instead of running their own events.

Fourth, many large brands decided not to participate this year. Microsoft and Samsung were both absent for the first time in a long time. And many other companies scaled back their events.

Fifth, as you mentioned, the exhibition hall was dominated by non-startup parties moreso than in years past. This indicates that startups are not investing in SXSW as much as they had before.

In general, attendance felt lighter this year vs. 2016, and definitely vs. 2015 and 2014, which felt like a peak year for SXSWi.

While these are SXSW-specific numbers, I would wager that you are seeing similar slowdown with other startup-focused events and conferences. Meetups are more lightly attended, and certainly less sponsored.

It feels like the burst in activity is slowing. Not gone. Just slowing.

Inevitably comment votes are going to reflect common thought patterns including misconceptions. Even though this is susceptible to groupthink and gaming, HN has pretty strong antibodies in that area, so I think it's less of a problem than the timing issue.

In short, the worst bias in HN comment scores are that early comments get exponentially more votes than late comments. It would be nice if later posts could get a boost to their upvotes to incentivize late contributions, and help better ones float to the top even after the conversation has died down a bit.
That would also apply for 1996 vs 2005 :/
Because OpenBSD already did a large part of the work, and ensuring that software in their ports tree still work (and pushing patches to upstream developers) it should require less of an effort for Linux to go the same route.
That only moves the problem outwards; instead of having to keep compatibility within the syscall ABI, you have to keep compatibility within the "base userland library" ABI, which is probably much larger (for instance, printf is not a syscall).

They've been doing this for years. When I grumble about capitalism this is the sort of thing that annoys me. People say government is bad because it doesn't have competition and is a van intrinsically violent monopoly, but here we see an example of private actors spending money to make government unresponsive or outright antagonistic to people's needs so as to profit by serving those needs. The argument goes on that it's government's fault for allowing itself to be influenced, but that rests on an increasingly common fallacy of composition as if government were a monolithic entity, which (especially in the United States) is so far from being the truth as to be a lie. The fact is that many actors in government have been corrupted by campaign donations, and that the mechanistic application of an unlimited first-amendment concept of political speech Does Not Work.

A basic problem particular to the United States, in my view, if that while the Constitution treats of both law and equity, law has gained primacy and some parties are heavily invested in keeping it that way, arguing that the courts should be no more than mechanistic deciders rather than moral agents in their own right, most often summarized as 'we're a nation of laws!' - a curious statement from people who pledge allegiance to the idea of a Republic with liberty and justice for all, as if there could never be any such thing as unjust laws.

It would be interesting to see which members of Congress are most heavily influenced by lobbyists, and examine their public statements to see whether this correlates with hostility towards the judicial branch that checks their 'work.'
There are several differences, which any given person might find more appealing.

Pro offers:

- Better processing power

- Better sound (more speakers)

- Better resolution cameras (about +4MP on both)

- Thinner (1.4 mm)

- Lighter (.04 lbs)

- Higher storage capacity

- Pencil & Keyboard (the ipad smart KB, bluetooth should work on both) support

And possibly the non-pro does not have P3 wide color gamut support?

If I was buying one for a family member I would buy the iPad, not the pro unless I specifically knew they needed one of these features—of which, the keyboard and pencil support seem most probable, cameras probably second.

Personally, I have the pro with the keyboard and pencil, and I love it for most day to day use. I have not yet tried to code on it, but I am dubious that I will ever be able to rely on it as my primary/only computing device. However, for meetings, classes or speaking engagements I find it highly versatile and fits a niche my laptop never would.
We changed the title from "MoveTo – A lightweight, smooth scrolling JS library without any dependency" after a user emailed us to suggest the above.
This was my problem with the article. The study is alright, it doesn't draw any extreme conclusion.

The article's title is horrible. "Gay men and lesbian women less likely to be employed in a leadership position" ... really?
The nuance here is that they're using an unconventional definition for "employee" and "independent contractor". Under the heading "Supreme Court Interpretation":

> If an employee created the work, part 1 of the definition
> above applies, and the work will generally be considered a
> work made for hire.
> But note that the term “employee” in the definition differs
> from the common understanding of the term. For copyright
> purposes, “employee” means an employee under the general
> common law of agency. See the subheading “Agency Law”
> below.
> If an independent contractor created the work, and the
> work was “specially ordered or commissioned,” part 2 of the
> definition above applies. An “independent contractor” is
> someone who is not an employee under the general common
> law of agency.

That is, for purposes of determining whether or not a work was "made for hire", an independent contractor is considered an "employee" under the "common law of agency", because he is acting as an agent on behalf of an employer.

This is discussed further under the heading "Agency Law", where three points are given for consideration of whether the contractor is acting as an "agent" of the employer or whether the contractor is acting independently.

The phrasing of the law probably would've been better if it said "external vendor" instead of "independent contractor", since it seems intended to protect vendors that are providing a simple product to the employer rather than contractors that are used like temporary employees.

Regardless, a copyright assignment is a simple and important way to clear any ambiguity and prevent hairy disputes over the status of a work from going to court.

Again, I am not a lawyer.
I have not used CreditKarma's tax product, but I've heard folks say that it calculates some things incorrectly. I think that's understandable for a brand new product, but I'd be cautious about using it this year if you don't (1) have a very simple return, (2) check their work against the IRS forms/instructions and/or (3) check against another product.

(For those who don't want to give TurboTax or H&R money, I've been quite pleased with FreeTaxUSA, which is like $12 for federal and state. It's a bit less user friendly, but plenty good enough if you have some understanding of taxes, and there are way fewer upsells and overpriced crap.)
>Open a Finder window with some files in it. Hit list view (Cmd-2) ... notice that the text labels do not expand to fit/fill the text contents they contain

Why should they? I don't want the column sizes to change under me, I want them to stay as they were left. Some text labels (filename, other meta etc) could be too large to display anyway.

That said, you can double click the right divider on any column to have it expand to fit the largest of its contents.

We had a dog (Rambo - yes, the name was my fault) when I was growing up. Honestly, as a kid sometimes I was a bit of a shit to him, but I loved him.

He was put down whilst I was spending a few months in America before university because he'd gone for my brother who, at the time was a little more than 18 months old. I was OK with it at the time; I understood why it was necessary, and I didn't miss him so much because I wasn't at home. That was 1995.

It was only later it hit me, in dribs and drabs of sorrow, and I still think about him today, and miss him quite regularly. I've never had a dog since because I always lived in rented accommodation where pets weren't allowed, and then when I did finally get my own place (planning to get a dog), I realised I still couldn't because I was out too many hours a day and there was nobody else to take care of it.

I still dream that one day I'll have a dog again, and be able to take care of it properly.

Well, I am from Germany and am using a Mac but I dislike the new iPhones and Android (for example MIUI) is not worse than iOS, the only downside is the missing iCloud integration.

I had many iPhone devices in the past (ranging from the first to the 5, which was my last) and with the iPhone 6 it went downhill in my opinion. This is where I switched to Xiaomi and never looked back.

So it's not only in developing countries, for example I prefer my Xiaomi Mi5 Pro over any iPhone device that is out there.

They have their flagship every year and so it's pretty easy so know what to pick. The Tablet part is lacking but the MiPad 3 is in the works.
That kind of parsimonious interpretation has no legal bearing. A dispute over the meaning of the Constitution would naturally arise under [the laws of] the Constitution.

It should also be noted that it was long-standing British common law that courts ruled on the interpretation of law, and that there was ample precedent in the US revolutionary period of state Supreme Courts voiding state laws under state constitutions. Virtually every reference to the notion of questions of constitutionality pre-Marbury v Madison accepts that the judicial courts would play a role in this regard. The only extent to which the decision would have been surprising would have been in arguing whose opinion won it in the case of conflicts. (Note that nullification crises continued up to the Civil War).

Recruiters are one way, not necessarily the best in the long run but a good short-term stopgap approach if you need to quickly find clients.

In my opinion the preferable long-term sustainable path is pretty much like in most businesses: Become useful and become noticeable. Create solutions and talk about it. A company website, blog, conference talks, networking events testimonials for instance are useful components of a marketing plan for a consultant.

As for the second question I'm not sure this is the right attitude. For example analysing a company's software creation process and pointing out ways to improve it is serious engineering but it doesn't involve writing a single line of code and often is more about human communication than hard engineering facts.

Value creation starts when you first talk to a prospective client not just when you write the first line of code.
The Pro is one line, there are just two screen sizes. The 9.7" Pro has the same processor as the larger pro and has compatibility with the pencil. The new 9.7" non-pro has the lower end chip and no pencil.
I've been using TurboTax for years, and I think I'm ready to move on if they are going to continue lobbying. What are some other alternatives? I don't mind paying, but I want to make sure it's a service people trust.
This is the correct answer. We overreacted, sure, but we did not react the way he wanted. I could not agree more with that (excellent) commenter about cheapening the situation.
Avoids taxes, donates to charities. This is a way to let billionaires and corporations dictate public policy.

Don't like military spending? Defund it by donating all your taxes to the arts instead. Public school programs not teaching enough creation theory? Take their money away and give it to churches. Charity spending is seen as an enormous loophole by quite a few people. And that doesn't even get into scams such as donor advised funds.

Yes, the job in question was in the gaming space, working on an unannounced virtual reality title.

This has been the only time a company has ever asked me to divest interest in my own company and/or IP before being hired. Granted, I have only recently begun looking for work, but I cannot imagine this being a common scenario.

Instead, I imagine these guys as sharks that do not have my best interests in mind; only their own.

The "iPad Pro" is the same iPad as it always was, the "Pro" is marketing.

A member of my family was hustled into buying an iPad "Pro" from a sales rep who convinced them it can do everything and more, yet they can't perform simple file management and related email tasks on it, so they still use a Windows PC that cost 1/2 the price of the $800 iPad Pro.

Mr. Rogers never mentioned god or his faith on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. I am certain this was very intentional. I think who he was may very well be because of his belief in god, but the values he taught were universal.

If Mister Rogers didn't think that it was necessary to bring god into the discussion to teach those values, I don't think it can really be considered an improvement.
Well, to be paid as such :)
