What was the flagship before the Pixel? What was the flagship 2 years ago? The android market probably has a changing flagship every 6 months and even then it isn't obvious what it is.

Try typing "flagship android phone" into Google search. Pixel only comes up in 8-9 results out of 100.
What Is the Difference Between AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning?
Lie on your side and use the hand on the arm that's under your pillow to hold the iPad vertically on the bed. When you doze off, your grip will fail, but then the iPad just falls over on its face, which shouldn't be close enough to hit you in yours unless you're a lot more nearsighted than I am. (It might fall off the bed, though. Not a problem I have because I sleep alone on a queen-size, but I can see how other configurations might cause that issue.)

If you prefer to lie on your back, an articulated arm mounted to the headboard might work; I have one of those, but ended up not actually using it - by the time I'm actually dropping off, I don't want a screen glowing in my face.
Sorry meant, DXB. Dubai Airport Code. Obviously, the ban applies to other regional airports as well however DXB is the main target.
This sort of 'cultural' double down is why I left. There's some talented people there - I'm thankful for everything I learned from them - but the culture is too rigid for creative exploration and [most importantly] discovery.
Whether I would trust baggage handling or not isn't really the point.

Almost every news outlet is headlining this story that these devices are being 'banned' from flights, which is simply not true. They're being 'banned' from being carried on as hand luggage. You might as well say that "changes of clothes" are banned from flights, seeing as most people's suitcases are not allowed to be carried on as hand luggage either.

I know the truth doesn't make for as interesting a headline. But it's irritating to see the [allegedly] quality press increasingly adopting the tactics of the click-bait trash pedlars.
Horrifying. It occurs to me that even if all you were implanting was an empty metal cylinder, it would be very convincing theater, especially in the context of that level of abuse. It's hard to see a permanent solution to this that doesn't involve massive education initiatives at the community level.

My cat stayed by my side to her last day, whereupon she decided to hide in the box I had prepared for her body a week earlier.

She had wasted away to 2/3 her normal weight and was having a horrible time breathing, it was time, and it sucked, even recalling it sucks.
I think it could work really well to put businesses "in jail." You can't physically put them in prison, but you can achieve the same ultimate effect by forcing them to cease operations for a period of time. If a crime would put a person in prison for five years, then maybe it should also force a business to cease operations for five years.
When you mean studying something else, do you mean something academic or hobby-based? I think having deep hobbies are really beneficial, and with mine I like to take a more "organic" or free-form approach to learning.

Another idea that'd be way cheaper - start writing books on how to survive the epochalypse. You can crib a lot of material out of the books written in 99.
Generally people build BSD packages from source instead of installing binaries. (I think; I've not used BSD.)
Yeah -- this seems not to differ from the law in california / wisconsin.

http://law.justia.com/codes/california/2011/lab/division-3/2...

These states already assign employees work 'not using equipment', 'not resulting from work', 'not in the employer's area of business'.

Many california-based companies will echo this language in the IP assignment section of their employment contract.

These protections don't help you if you're at, say, a big 3 company with a lot of businesses. I know someone who asked in their contract negotiation at google if G could provide a comprehensive list of areas of business and G refused.
You overestimate how easy IRS instructions are. A 1040EZ is easy, but anything beyond that and it becomes very complicated in a hurry.

Lessons in tenacity from Foursquare
If you go looking for ways there's an infinite number. The problem is where you draw the line and accept the risk. Banning everything technically is what makes terrorism effective. The greatest terrorist purpose is for us and our governments to be afraid of everything and everyone.
I'm nearly old enough to try to put my brain back to that time (I used Unix V7 on a PDP-11/45..) and I'm not sure the replies here are quite on the mark. Yes, if someone had suggested a 64-bit time_t back then, the obvious counterargument would have been that the storage space for all time-related data would double and that would be a bad thing. Also true that there was no native language support for 64-bit ints, but I don't think that is a show-stopper reason because plenty of kernel data isn't handled as compiler-native types.

I think the main reason nobody pushed back on a 32-bit time_t is that back then much less was done with date and time data. I don't think time rollover would have been perceived as a big problem, given that it would only happen every 100 years or so.

In the decades since we have become used to, for example, computers being connected to each other and so in need of a consistent picture of time; to constant use of calendaring and scheduling software; to the retention of important data in computers over time periods of many decades. None of these things was done or thought about much back then.
BSD's don't tend to have distros. So for example OpenBSD has a ports tree maintained by the ports team for OpenBSD. The operating system is free to break ABI's from release to release as the ports tree is audited, fixed, and recompiled for the new release.

The Linux kernel can't freely do this as then the ABI break is placed on various distro maintainers and software authors because there is no clear point in time they can say ABI $FOO will break on date $BAR.
Good idea. Our Qeng Ho descendants will thank us. [0]

Two points:

First, even if you are able to borrow functional language from a contract without infringing someone's copyright, that doesn't make it a good idea. Heroku's terms were written for them and their specific business risks, governing law, etc. Your own PaaS business may have different requirements. And copying wholesale probably is infringement.

Second, by "IP free zone," I'm talking about people's attitudes and behavior towards the materials they borrow from--that certainly doesn't express a legal conclusion about it or mean what they are doing is not infringement.
That's what you get for buying fake leather. A polyester jacket will perform better and be lighter, and not need maintenance. It won't look like leather, though. That's why you're having problems: you're trying to get something that looks like leather, because you want that style, not because it actually performs better.
BSDs typically have all their userspace tools in the same tree as the kernel, it's easier for them to make these breaking changes than it is for linux where the kernel live in one place and the rest of the code is scattered far and wide
What is the innovation here?
In Linux kernel land, the golden rule is to never break the userspace ABI. Yes, it might happen, but it's never intentional, unless there's no other choice (glaring security issue for instance).
Because the cost of firing (dismissing) someone depends on where they have their contract. It might be zero cost in the US but the US is not the World. In Europe it would cost them tons of money to remove hundreds of jobs in a single swipe. OTOH, let people leave, no cost for them.
Great news! I was honestly wondering what was taking them so long on this one. Seemed like a no brainer.

Because of the complexity of tax regulations, I don't think coming up with a competing free/open-source/nonprofit tax preparation service is the right answer to this problem.

Let's consider the positions of all sides:

* The professional tax preparers are worried that they're going to lose business if the government assumes the bulk of the tax preparation work.

* We as taxpayers would prefer that the government pre-fills a return for us, since they already have the information, and lets us file the pre-filled form if we detect no errors. That saves us time and also lets us see what info the government has about our income.

* But we also recognize that it's in the government's interest to maximize the tax we pay, and (ideally) it's in the tax preparers' interest to minimize the tax we pay.

Given all that, if pre-filled returns are unlikely, for political reasons, then perhaps a step up from the current Free File program might work like this:

1) You go to a Free File partner.

2) You authorize the IRS to release all of your tax information to that partner, who pre-fills the forms.

3) The partner walks you through the pre-filled forms, so you can check for accuracy.

4) The partner then does its own checks to discover errors that you might not have picked up on.

5) The partner makes money by selling optional add-ons, such as audit protection services.

This would, at the very least, speed up the Free File process and let you see what info the IRS has. It also ensures (like it or not) that the partners keep getting business (or at least eyeballs to pitch extra services to), and it ensures that your interest in paying the least amount of tax possible is reasonably protected.
The Importance of Research in Engineering
They actually release these numbers: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/CBP_DHS_20...

Out of the 375 million passengers processed in FY 2014, 34 million was referred to secondary inspection and about 223,000 was found inadmissible. Keep in mind that these numbers also include US citizens who cannot be found inadmissible, but could be referred to secondary inspection for other reasons.

I turned down a job with IBM once they told me, after appeal, that they would own my side project if I continued to work on it. The interview process cost me 40 hours and an all-nighter take home (I really needed the job.) The salary was fantastic for Canada, but still pathetic by US standards.
One of my clients* is a fashion startup here in Zurich. The founder started his computer vision startup with material he discovered during his research at the ETH.

He had to pay only a quiet low sum to get the IP. The sum was measured by how long it would take him to transcribe (literally type) the algorithms out of his head.

(*I run a tech recruiting agency; happy to help people who want to move to Zurich.)
Actually Milton Friedman gave a speech on that very topic -- the tax code is intentionally complicated because it provides political power.
Incorporating AWS security practices into your Terraform code
This is a really weird way to look at conversations. Clearly your comment was useful, because you said what a lot of people were thinking, and prompted a very helpful explanation from a subject matter expert. Had you stayed silent, rayiner might not have felt any need to comment, and everyone would have been worse off.

Discussions are not supposed to be competitions to discover who is the smartest or most correct.
Also: private filing via tax prep firm would remain an option.
Yea the VIVE technology is actually easily adaptable to be able to track anything, including balls. The lighthouse tracking can support hundreds probably thousands of concurrent sensors.
Lobbying who? Absolute transparency is needed of any lobbying, and does that happen? Non-perfect?
To avoid breaking backward compatibility what you typically do is allocate new system call numbers for the system calls that have the new bigger time_t. Then at some point you spin a new version of the C library (and in the case of time_t, probably lots of other libraries as well). That allows old binaries to run unchanged, as long as you retire them before 2038.

The tricky part starts if you also have to keep the old libraries updated with security patches.
Even without the lobbying the public choice aspects of this are bad. I'd like easier tax filing but I wouldn't vote for a politician who I disagreed with about immigration if they supported it. On the other hand I'd bet that most of employees of H&R Block, Intuit, etc would consider tax reform a huge threat to their livelihoods and would rank this as their top priority in choosing who to vote for.
I was really struggling to understand the point of this, but your comment made it click, it isn't actually about tracking, it's all head games. That's really messed up, but I guess considering the sorts of people that would be involved in something like this I shouldn't be surprised.
You just look at the hardware and read reviews. There isn't really a sliding scale for PCs, that's the awesome thing about manufacturers that let you customize. Doing a lot of gaming or modelling? Better graphics card. Running shitloads of processes? Better ram. Better processor. Extra HDD, or SSD, or optical drive? Etc.
Actually, it's the opposite. Works done by independent contractors are only works for hire if they fall into a narrow range of categories and are explicitly agreed to be a work for hire. If you want copyright of contracted work, you should have the contractor explicitly assign copyright to you.

From that circulation,

> A work created by an independent contractor can be a work made for hire only if (a) it falls within one of the nine categories of works listed in part 2 above and (b) there is a written agreement between parties specifying that the work
is a work made for hire.

The nine categories are

> as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas
The result is that contract forms have become a sort of IP-free zone.

Exactly. One of the sleaziest tricks used by Realtors (most Realtors are not lawyers) is getting clients to sign their forms: their terms usually have the word "percent" hard-coded into the contract. Rather than opening the door to hourly or fixed dollar amounts, they insist that their forms are the "standard". I heard one recently say in a public forum that banks "require" these specific forms that only Realtors have... this is a total lie, and anybody that tells you that you can't negotiate to create your own contract for a deal should be prosecuted for coercion.

I've been trying for a long time to alter the common perception that Realtors add value; they don't. They take value out of transactions -- equity that's taken literal years to build up -- gone in one (fell) swoop. People need to be way more aggressive in their negotiations with real estate salespeople, and it all starts with the contract.

This is still a small, WIP, side project (free, open-source contract templates); however, you can get the idea: http://ecosteader.com/docs

Anything in the present tense would be preferable. Just a one letter change would be an improvement: "How I Become A Better Programmer". If it's in the past tense, possibly some indication that he's partway along the journey, such as "How I Got to the Level of Programmer I Am Today" (not as punchy, needs editing).
>However, say the government asks you for your bank records. When you hand them over, you're implicitly saying "I have bank records," and "these are my bank records." That's not incriminating -- even if the bank records themselves might contain incriminating evidence.

Here's what I'm missing: why doesn't, in a similar vein, the government simply ask him to unlock the hard drives without any claimed assumption as to their contents?
I'd argue that being an employee is less stable than you think it is in general, at least in the tech sector.

I had my own private PPO for a decade (geez!) at least, and the policy provisions were better than most employer policies I saw offered to me. Well, at least until the ACA came around and shook everything up a little.

I'm happy you're a happy 9-5er with zero business desire and that you are 100% risk averse. You are not the target of my comment.

Criminal intent is one of the most important parts of law. If there is no criminal intent in many cases there is no crime.

If you want to have a discussion, take some time to clearly articulate your arguments because it's hard to read. I think that's what's getting voted down, not necessarily that everyone disagrees with you.
Or if the employee made something that made a net-loss. We only hear the company knocking on the employee's door when the employee is earning a profit.
And where exactly did I propose not having life insurance? Would you mind copying and pasting the text here?

If you have to choose between disability and life insurance, go with disability insurance. If you have enough money to pay for both, pay for a lot of disability insurance and some life insurance. Probably 10-20 times more disability than life.
Sites like HN have made me realize it's actually more or less impossible to tell if a given argument is well-founded unless you have first-hand experience in the domain. Most people don't have experience in most topics, so upvotes were quite susceptible to "reasonable seeming" yet incorrect arguments.

Minimalist window managers are cool but unless you have a very specific workflow it tends to create more problems than it solves.

X11 apps are usually designed with a typical, windows-like environment in mind and tweaks may be required to accommodate for an unusual desktop environment, if at all possible.

Typical problems can be :

- The title bar isn't visible, and there is important information in it

- No system tray, which can mean no menu and no notifications

- Normally small windows displaying full screen (ex : GIMP)

- Key binding conflicts between the window manager and the app in use
I know and understand the reasoning for this, I just don't like it. I am a BSD fan, so I indulge in a land where such ABI breaks are possible. In a fantasy land I would like to see the Linux community coming up with a way to deal with ABI breaks. Not that I think such breaks are to be taken lightly but they are sometimes necessary. Such as this case.
Turn off all background notifications, and it'll run like new.

It didn't become slower. You just added a lot more stuff for it to do.
Exactly, it's all about breaking people so they won't even try to fight or escape. Drugs, abuse (physical and psychological torture really), and simply killing the ones who don't perform. It's... unbelievably brutal, and the only ways to fight it are education, and probably a legal framework and oversight for prostitution.

I think OP is moving the goalposts here. They also say "It's wrong when our elected officials bend to those business interest when it goes against the public interest", which is clearly a moral argument as opposed to a legal one.

I don't agree that testifying is the same as confessing. To testify is to provide a testimony (under oath), which is broader than an actual confession. The reasoning behind the 5th amendment is that nobody should be put in a position where they either have to lie, incriminate themselves, or be held in contempt of court.

If the government can't compel someone to say when, where and how they disposed of the bodies, then they also can't make someone explain how they encrypted some files.

In case they can confirm the existence of files some other way I guess you could make the case that the government can force someone to produce those files. Of course this won't tell them anything they didn't know already (which is kind of the point). Making someone produce files that may or may not exist is the same as making them testify that those files exist and that they have access to them, which I would argue falls under the 5th amendment.
