> The act of killing the babies is wrong, and we can pretty much all agree on that. But that company has every right to lobby for that position. No matter how crazy.

No one is saying they don't have that legal right; they're saying that "legal" doesn't imply "ethical".

Consider Company A's lobbying efforts succeed and people start killing blue-eyed babies. Even if Company A never kills a baby, they still did something unethical, since there's a causal relationship between their lobbying efforts and a thing we just agreed was wrong.
As I said in another comment, part of that is covered by proper payment structuring and IP transfer provisions while the rest is covered by having long-term clients that you have a good relationship with.

It is also fairly obvious that the pixel will be abandoned in about 2 years max. Since it was previously obvious that the Nexus was their flagship.

It isn't as bad as it was 2 years ago, where the main google phone would get updates, but was nigh unusable with the latest operating system. I still fully expect my nexus 6 to be basically abandoned by them within a year or so now.

same experience with my cat, Pussum. we had to euthanize him last august after he started limping and it turned out to be aggressive fibrosarcoma in his leg that already progressed to his pelvis and would have required at least a hemipelvectomy with an uncertain recovery prognosis. we euthanized him at home 3 months after diagnosis (they told us he had only a couple weeks) when he became too weak and unable to urinate and poop. it was gut–wrenching to have him die before his time while i held him. i hate to think it was a shitty vaccine, since it started close to an injection site at some point after we took him to a slightly less expensive vaccination visit at a Petco. he was an indoor/outdoor cat, so he needed the full regimen.

stupid stoic cats don't tell you what's wrong before it's too late. he was only 9 :(

The reasoning I've heard is that back then memory and disk space were limited and they couldn't sacrifice the extra bytes.

For example, if every file stores three timestamps (mtime, ctime, and atime), then that's an extra 12 bytes per file to store a 64 bit timestamp vs a 32 bit timestamp. If your system has five thousand files on it, that's an extra 60 KB just for timestamps. In 1970, RAM cost hundreds of dollars per KB [1], so this savings was significant.

You're not wrong, but you'd have been really hard-pressed to find someone of significance who didn't already believe the Higgs mechanism was there. In the sense that mass exists, there was a high degree of expectation there too. It's actually quite amazing to have so many of these recent discoveries, also be confirmations. It's been over a century of this, starting with Relativity.
I file my taxes for free, easily, by printing out the forms at home and doing them by hand on paper. The only cost to me is for the envelopes and postage. I've done some pretty complex filings over the years, and have built up the knowledge I need to do it well. Also, if I make a mistake the government is usually pretty good about letting me know and I either cut them a check for the difference or they cut me a check. It's actually not that hard, as long as you go through it line by line and read the instructions.
> statx() will serve as the year-2038-capable version of the stat() family of calls

Does this seem horrible to anyone else? Why not fix stat()? Does this syscall have to be so highly preserved even when it will be broken?

One of the advantages of the OpenBSD approach of being able to make intrusive changes saw their time_t made 64-bit in the 5.5 release in 2014.

Admittedly this is much harder for Linux as they can't make the change an verify in a single place due to the separation of kernel and userland/ the fact Linux has many distros.

But no other syscall interface presumes that you're directly twiddling kernel structs and I struggle to think of any other syscall that operates on fds, for which you need to keep in mind that it actually operates on internal kernel structs.

It would be trivial for the kernel to attach the epoll struct to the file descriptor and give you a close notification when the descriptor is closed (even if there are other open descriptors to the same file), but it's really hard to emulate that behaviour in userland, except this is the precise behaviour most people want! The only way to emulate this behaviour is to write a full abstraction over all file syscalls and make sure you never ever call them directly.

New York has a particularly pathological state government because if you deleted New York City and it's environs, it would be a red state.

That alone isn't enough to explain the dysfunction. If NYC and its environs were more or less homogeneous it would dominate the state and the red parts wouldn't matter. The problem is that there's a three way split -- NYC is 42% (but parts of each of the outer boros are more suburban than urban), Nassau/Suffolk/Westchester is 20%, and the rest of the state is the other 38%. The suburbs of NYC hold the swing votes and are some of the most corrupt parts of an already corrupt state.
Australia has their own tax software. It's not pretty, but it's pretty straight forward. In NZ you don't even have to file. You login to the IRD site and it shows you your earnings, similar to this proposal.

Jobs will disappear and some industry will go away if we had a unified federal run tax system. Most likely though, these two companies will turn into contractors for the government to make an maintain one standardized system. They'll earn less money, but the entire system overall would be better.

This is a good place where we can see capitalism break down; where the public good is done a disservice by those who would seek to retain their earnings from an inefficient system.

So two issues with that statement.

1) Is it wrong to lobby politicians in general?

This can be debatable, but I would say a strong democracy should decide that individuals, organizations, and corporations can only make their cases in public hearings and on the record. That way we see where everyone stands and what exactly the arguments are for or against something. So it may not be illegal for an entity to "talk" to a politician about an issue, but I would argue that it would be best if everything they say about a certain policy or bill should be on the record, not in the back stage. There are thousands of "little things" like these that could make the U.S. a better democracy.

2) How do you define "lobbying"?

Is it just talking to a politician or is it talking plus something like:

"Hey, we've just donated $50,000 to your campaign as well. No worries, we just did it because we liked you, right after our conversations on how it would be best for you to vote ;). Oh, and we're only doing the winking because it would be illegal for us to tell you that we're giving you this much money to vote how we want on that bill."

Yeah, I would say that should definitely be illegal - in the sense that no company or organization should be able to donate as much as $50,000 (or more) to a politician. I'm strictly in favor of sub-$500 donations a year to a politician.

The "money vote" that's represented by campaign donations is greatly skewing how a politician should vote, because he or she would then have to listen to those that donated the most by far, compared to the people that donated only $30. So the "money vote" should be as "equalized" and "universal" as the real vote is (as much as possible at least, but I think it should be under $1,000, because beyond $1,000 it still incetivizes politicians to hold fundraisers with rich people).
I wonder how much attention this will get from the general public and non-technical managers? After all, programmers predicted doom for Y2k, and then "nothing happened".

This is almost the same situation, except I assume slightly less understandable to a non-programmer (you have to understand seconds-since-1970 and why we'd do that instead of storing the date as text, powers of 2 and the difference between 32 and 64-bit).
That's the key to understanding this. Makes less and less sense as a security measure, maybe it makes sense as an economic measure directed at middle eastern airlines?
It's not true that "giving them everything they want to and don't ask anything in return" is necessary to receive an emotional response as the ones that have been described here. That's not even a good approach to educating a dog.

A dog will be very happy to comply with any of your commands just to see you happy with him/her/it, no treats required (although these help in early stages).

But I think the point is that you can treat any other animals in the way you mentioned ("giving them everything they want to and don't ask anything in return") and you don't get the same kind treatment from them than you would from a dog.
That would be the aforementioned fiction I was expecting you'd trot out. You really are just abandoning anything like a moral or intellectual dimension of responsibility in favor of pure legalism, up to and including IG Farben in Nazi Germany?!

That's not really a position, it's a tragedy.

> The UK is on the cusp of committing economic suicide, or at least crippling itself for decades.

No.

Here's why.

The UK can control it's currency and maintain a clear direction. The EU can't do that. The Euro favors some countries.

The UK can have bi-lateral trade deals that is best for her with all countries around the world[1]. The EU can't do that, it has to consider ALL countries best interests within the Block.

The UK can change it's business rates to be more competitive than the EU [2]. The EU can't really do that, lest it risk some states losing money.

In short. The UK is in an excellent position for growth.

I'm actually rather bullish about the UK. Remember, when the UK had trade deals with countries around the world? We'll have that time again.

The contrast problem only occurs when the sun falls on the face of the phone. If that's not the case in the GPS mount (and I can't imagine how it frequently would be), then you should be OK for that. It's just that the white surround will blind you when you're using the phone handheld in sunlight.

Maybe find a way to put the mount somewhere that's not so much in the sun, or use some black card or silicone rubber to improvise a shield? As long as the sunlight doesn't fall directly on the device, it should be enough, I'd think...
In terms of AVX breaking up 256-bit vector instructions into two 128-bit vectors is something that's very possible and is, in fact, what AMD is doing in Ryzen. That saves you on execution and datapath silicon but you still need the full sized registers to hold the data and that means that adding AVX to an Atom processor would require a redesign of the back end. And other new instructions might require other backend changes. And to interpret new instructions you certainly have to make silicon changes to the front end which might have follow on effects on the general layout.

But in general you could certainly design an Atom-ish core that has the full range of Intel instructions. Or just add AVX (they've already done this with Phi) and take all the other extra instructions out of the SKylake.
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the distasteful publishers were receiving money from the adverts. So the headlines were technically correct to say "Marks & Spencer gives money to homophobic terrorists". There is a link in Google's advertising model between the page and the advert - the video is the placeholder on which the publisher is placing its advert.

I accept that the solution is difficult, but Google designed and benefits enormously from this system, so it's reasonable to expect them to do something about it.

Well, yes, of course. I'm not saying that we should have aligned with his goals - but the world certainly failed to get why the attack was done in the first place - for most, it only had a religious motivation, or they think that terrorists hate American freedom so they had to attack.

Like the comment I linked says - terrorist goal wasn't that you get patted down when traveling, or surrendering your privacy to the encroaching surveillance state. Those are goals of the US government, and here, the government is winning. The terrorists however, are definitely not.
Just because you depart from a country doesn't mean your laptop is dangerous. Moreover, up til now there hasn't any paper or statistics claiming laptops are dangerous on flights. I am sure they are trying to hide the discrimination that lies underneath the ban.

> Would it be less gross if she were not a woman?

> the enthusiasm for tearing Mayer down comes from the fact that she was lauded as some kind of exceptional executive

While some of the comments are no doubt rooted in the perspective you mention, there are also plenty of overtly misogynistic comments about her too. I think it's a bit of whitewashing to claim that all the enthusiasm for tearing her down is strictly disconnected from gender. I don't know how you can read the comments that go by on reddit et all and pretend that elephant in the room isn't there.

I think a lot of the criticism of Balmer is specific and factual, but that people also overlook that on raw financials his tenure at MS was successful.
You do occasionally hear the random news item about people who are willing to kill other people for what seems like paltry sums of money or people who spend years and years skimming money from the company they work for, but the total amount stolen is very small.

Well, from personal, non-template, work I can say that I was frequently running work from 2-4 clients easily enough. If a client was more demanding of time then I was more demanding on cost.

If contract work is getting paid the same as FTE, then something is messed up. I literally charged double what I make right now as an FTE.

And yeah, I even called out the missing benefits, but that's something you pay for out of the income differential.

I've been a contract worker several times in my life. I'm currently a FTE and like the people I work for. Going contract is certainly not for everyone and is perhaps a panic inducing decision depending on your current situation.
