That looks like a 'no', then.

The UK not being able to make its own laws (as your original comment implied), seems to me to be a quite different thing to having to adopt EU directives (as you are now talking about), and I feel like it's exactly this kind of confusion (deliberate or otherwise) over the years that has contributed to the atmosphere that lead to Brexit.

Courgette used to only work on Windows (PE/COFF) executables. It looks like it now also works on ELF x86 and ELF arm executables. But it doesn't seem to support ELF 64-bit, nor does it support mach-o (Mac) executables.
All of the authority? You've been misinformed.
Why not HTTPS? There are ways to do MITM proxing that re-encrypt traffic. As a customer, you just need to install their CA certificate.

Or slightly worse, they could get browser vendors to include their CA (or pass legislation to force this).

What prevents this from happening?

In mobile, where the carrier controls everything (the network, the OS) it's not unlikely this is already happening.

This is orthogonal to the claim.

There are hypotheses that Neanderthals were actually smarter than our other ancestors, and that they were wiped out for various reasons unrelated to intelligence. They may have been less violent than homo sapiens or seriously weakened by pathogens that didn't affect homo sapiens.
This article is basically arguing that farm teams should be able to afford pro athletes... Having engineers who "perform in the top 10%" is a nice-to-have, not a requirement for startup success.

"It’s not really about Freedom at all, because >99% of computer users are non-programmers, making the freedoms to study, modify & redistribute not directly relevant."

It's like saying >99% of people don't own news agencies, so requiring government approval to publish a story is not directly relevant. It is relevant - to everyone who might want to read the story, or in this case, use the software.

This is also the same logic that was used to advocate (unsuccessfully, for now) for mandatory DRM in TVs: "This protects the rights of artists, while only limiting the rights of a very small number of people who make TVs." What it ignores is that it also deprives everyone of the right to buy a DRM-free TV, thus restricting everyone, not just the few TV manufacturers.
That would still hold true in an east-up map.. We are projecting out of the plane of the map when we stand up/walk..

Separate note - while i get that north-up is just a convention and a mental construct, the south-up map really threw me off. As i was staring into the map, I felt the urge to turn my monitor around and had the same visceral need to set things right as i would upside down on a roller-coaster. This caught me completely by surprise because i was expecting to just make a mental note that this was a new convention i could get used to. Instead i "felt" uncomfortable - did this happen to anyone else?

> You are probably thinking of the first net neutrality rule he proposed, which would have allowed for paid fast lanes

That was the second; the first he got passed did not, but it was struck down by the courts for exceeding the power the FCC had without Title II reclassification. The draft of the replacement might have allowed paid prioritization (it was clearly not intended to, but it was limited because it attempted to stay within the boundaries of what would pass muster without Title II reclassification.) The final replacement order opted for Title reclassification, and was not only stronger than the draft, but stronger in many ways that the 2010 order it replaced.

Wheeler was always on the side of net neutrality, and in fact his actions in favor of it are one of the main reasons the issue became well known.

>Driving electric cars instead of hybrids in areas where the electricity is primarily derived from unclean sources is not better than hybrids for the environment.

ICE cars are far less efficient than fossil-fuel power plants, due to the weight/size restraints of a car-engine form-factor. Given this, electric cars actually do emit less energy than cars that burn fossil fuels.

But frankly, you're looking at this the wrong way - most electric cars are at the start of their life, and have at least 10 years' worth of use, if not 20 or more. Given that renewables will inevitably become a major portion of the electricity grid within 10 years (and realistically, almost certainly within 5), they'll become more efficient in the future, and make renewables reduce even more CO2 emissions, since they're punting petrol away, too.

This is one of those situations where broad-strokes rules just don't help very much.

>"There ought to be a new standard of care, said Ruffin, and it should include not just temporary involuntary psychiatric and physical treatment, but long-term case management."

This is the crux of it. Admitting people to a psych ward for an involuntary hold is ripe for abuse. You can respect someone's autonomy (even a homeless person with psychiatric problems' autonomy) and, at the same time, help them not freeze to death.

It usually starts with having enough caseworkers with enough bureaucratic leeway to build actual relationships with their clients. I don't think we're anywhere close to that.
We've been using Construct 2 for years at more than 200 events to get tens of thousands of students interested in coding at CodeDay. It's the only thing we teach in our beginner workshops now.

You're misrepresenting the realities of A50 throughout this thread Jacques. The court case in question operated under the premise of the Government's position that A50 is irrevocable. Whether it is or not was not judged, it was just presumed to be irrevocable for the purpose of the case. That's a very important distinction.

A50 is revocable unless a court says it is not and even if questioned, the courts would more than likely rule that it can be revoked. The official position of the European Parliament is that is revocable (1), subject to some conditions that are set out (the UK can't use it as a negotiating tool essentially) and this is also the position of many important EU officials. Piet Eeckhout (EU law professor) recently remarked that it would be unconstitutional to deny the UK a right to revoke A50 should it wish to exercise that option.

It's also a mistake to judge A50 purely in legal terms, political reality is more important in this case. A point made abundantly clear by lawyers reporting on Brexit.

If there's a will on both sides to abandon Brexit, it will be done. For that to happen the political landscape and mood will have to reshape itself. Such a thing is not impossible given that confidence in the economy is trending down and people are becoming more pessimistic (2) and because the many complications that lie ahead will be coming to the foreground. If the choice before Parliament is between a disorderly exit without a deal in 2019 with very clear negative repercussions, it would be unthinkable if they do not intervene.

The UK government has not expressed any intention to restrict skilled immigration in industries facing skills shortages.

That doesn't seem to be the case:

Employers would have to pay a £1,000-a-year fee for every EU skilled worker they bring in after Brexit, under plans being considered by the Government.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-...

or not:

THE Prime Minister has denied the Government is to introduce a £1k charge on every skilled worker from an EU member state recruited by a British employer after Brexit.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/753130/May-slaps-down-minis...

ohh, the PM was wrong. Actually, it is introduced next month:

The Home Office has finally published some details on the Immigration Skills Charge Levy, which will come into force on 6 April 2017, subject to parliamentary approval.... The skills charge will be £1,000 per year of the visa (so £3,000 for a 3-year visa) for medium or large sponsors and £364 per year (so £1,092 for a 3-year visa) for charitable or small sponsors...

http://ellint.net/news/sector/cross-border-hr-policies/immig...

I guess the UK doesn't want skilled immigrants.

Optimizing for compensation is a silly idea at an engineer's salary.

I am a whole lot happier in a small company that pays me a reasonable salary and is fun than a huge company where I have to play politics and jump through hoops on command.

I remember reading about this maybe 6 years ago. What was memorable was that the gel was even cheaper than the syringe. It's sad how slow these things move and that we're not going to have that in North-America for a good time.
And using something like Gall-Peters for an online map would be absolutely terrible except for mid-latitude countries (like North America). On a zoomable map, it's important to keep relative north-south and east-west distances very close to the same when zoomed in.
I have mixed feelings about this, even. They don't always "keep themselves alive" in a way that healthy to both them and the rest of their communities.
True, but May has (repeatedly) threatened to go out 'without a deal' if she can't get terms she likes.

"Eberhard used these web-making mistakes as a proxy for cognitive capacity."

That line seems kind of suspect from my armchair. Web-making isn't a general behavior, and could probably be assigned a certain optimal ammount of brain space as sight and other tasks were compromised to make room in smaller brains. How did the researchers deal with this?

Most women would like to avoid getting pregnant by accident, even if they have the option to abort an unwanted pregnancy.

This method seems to have no side effect and would reduce the chance with another contraceptive method with 98% success of prevention would make the odds of pregnancy within 1 year negligible (and they only go down over time)

The article claims that since the executives of pharma companies are rich, white men they would not be inclined to threaten their manhood by using this contraceptive and therefore don't see a market to bring it to.
IMO, It's an obstacle only to people who don't use IDEs.

Someone who uses e.g. visual studio for C++ isn't going to balk at the suggestion of installing IntelliJ for Java, and I doubt that they would balk at the suggestion of installing SLIME for lisp.

In my experience it's people who live in their editor (sublime, vim, &c.) that balk at the idea of installing an IDE as the first step for using a new language.

Very true. For both of our companies [1][2] we pay a fair salary plus a quarterly bonus on top of that based on what we can give (based on the company's quarterly profit results). We also offer remote retreats (so far Cape Town, Thailand, Martinique, Spain and Skiing in the Alps) and the biggest contributor to everyone's satisfaction is that we let everyone work from where ever they want and as much as they want as long as it is planned properly.

The result: we've had a couple of employees who received job offers from companies like Apple, Google and Facebook. But after going to the interview process and talking to other employees there they've all (with the exception of one) decided to stay with us, with a significantly lower salary, but a lot more freedom and work-life balance.

Not saying that we've a better offer than Google & co, but saying that our offer is different than theirs and there are enough people out there who care more about other things than just money.

Regarding the MITM, more specifically i meant able to compromise HTTPS. If i sit between you and your https site, can i read all of your traffic?

I know very little about the nitty gritty of HTTPS, so forgive my ignorance, but i thought the most i could do was try to pass off a custom key (ie, spoof the key authority), but then the signing done from the https site (say, https://google.com) wouldn't be valid based on my bad key.

How common is it to read full https data if you're a MITM?
If you work with data, you should learn basic SQL. It's a lot more useful and safe than a tangle of Excel functions.

Hey Tyler! That's amazing to hear. One thing we are interested in experimenting with in the future for Construct 3 (not possible in C2) is "free weekends" like some games do, but even "free time-period for specific events". If we look to experiment in this area I'll be sure to reach out to you.
I am naive... however, some opinions...

If the startup is truly revolutionary|innovative, shouldn't we see VC's pounding down the doors to give them money? If they have money, shouldn't they spend that on their personnel (assuming they are not manufacturing robots or something) if we are talking software?

Seems to me that startups want to have their cake and eat it too. If you have money to pay, then pay competitive wages. If you don't, offer equity. If you have something worth a shit, people will want to work for your startup.

The next facebook, unless it is the next facebook, isn't going to sell a lot of people. I look at the YC list of startups and shake my head... most of them don't make much sense. They might be winners, but I would ask for a large paycheck instead of equity for most of them.
>But there are plenty of great engineers that don't want to work at those companies for various reasons. There are plenty of great engineers that want to work remotely and don't have that option at the large companies.

They don't have that option at startups either, because the startups all want people who'll be at the office 18 hours a day with "team spirit".

I think this article is useless. Startups are only for people who are under ~25 (maybe 30), have no families, are willing to spend all their waking hours pursuing someone else's dream, and think they're going to make bank doing it and are willing to take that gamble. This is not the kind of engineer who goes to work at most large companies; they're two entirely different hiring pools.

I agree but I have a close family member who has been struggling with something similar her whole life. Luckily between disability and family she has never been homeless but for about three decades she was only part time living in reality. It would take getting arrested for making a scene somewhere and court ordered back on medication for her to come back. Luckily she has been doing awesome for long time now, even holding a volunteer job, not sure what the change was. If she was never court ordered I don't think she would have ever came back.

Then again I'm not sure who can be trusted to decide if someone is making decisions based on reality or fantasy.

- I'm not paying money to have needle injecting chemicals with unexplored potential (longterm) side effects into my private parts when the potential success rate is that of a condom. Condoms kind of work.

- "The pill" is a bit more than just a contraceptive. A variety of issues, ranging from skin problems to hormonal imabalances are regulated through the pill, which quite efficiently normalizes outliers in female hormone levels alongside acting as a contraceptive.

The pill is rarely "just" a contraceptive. It reduces menstrual pain significantly and allows women to forego the pleasure of planning for a week of unnecessary discomfort every month.

Every woman I've been sufficiently intimate with to have such conversations describes the daily pill as a small price to pay for all the benefits it comes with.

So I'm really curious: What, do you suggest, should the EU have offered?
I can't see how it would have a positive effect. HIV infection rates in the gay community have shot up in recent years unfortunately as people have become complacent with condoms. Without the risk of pregnancy one can only assume the same thing will happen in the straight community.

This is the bullshit argument Republicans/ISPs are pushing that anyone technical should immediately realize as such. It's conflating two separate issues.

I can choose whether or not to use Google and Facebook, and indeed willingly "agree" to their TOS when I log on. But to even get to those providers, I need to go through an ISP. As someone in rural America, I don't have a choice in ISPs, and even in a lot of cities where you have "choice," they all share the same privacy-invading practices. That's the point of the rules passed by the FCC: protecting us, the consumers who are subject to the whims of anti-competitive corporations that have access to large swaths of our personal data.
