So I can't use this offline? And what happens under shitty network conditions?
Interesting, I'm guessing Amazon are doing this as they're concerned at Microsoft getting companies onto Azure as part of a package with Office365.

Articles like this one ( http://www.nasdaq.com/article/can-amazon-alphabet-catch-up-t... ) show that trend quite clearly

That said I'd think it'd be pretty tricky to get something that would compete with Office. Replicating the basic functionality is likely do-able, but the power user functionality of office can be pretty complex (e.g. Macros) and a lot of users are quite attached to it.
The fact that they're trying to help you with marketing, and they can't even describe what they're marketing, should make you run in the other direction.

No wonder Steve Jobs hated Adobe!

(Yes, I know that was for other reasons, but this is a pretty good one.)

SEEKING WORK - Primarily Remote from Thailand, with potential for short on-site trips.

11 years experience across a mixture of Ops/Infrastructure and web application architecture and development, with a focus on solving unique/uncommon problems.

I’m looking for opportunities to help companies with backend/server-side architecture & development (primarily PHP MVC), system integration and/or server infrastructure setup/maintenance.

I mostly work remotely from Thailand, on a reasonably flexible schedule (I can schedule work hours to get overlap with most other timezones when required) but on-site visits to pretty much anywhere are a possibility if required too.

Contact me via email to stephen.reay@me.com or via Jabber/XMPP to stephen.reay@dukgo.com if you want to have a chat about what you’re working on!
A real example is the use of reverse graffiti: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_graffiti
yes it helps and i have pretty much always disabled mobile data unless i am expecting something important, so there is no fallback, though always enabled mobile data would be battery wise much more serious issue than WiFi which is pretty efficient nowadays
Every company that has challenged me with a datastructure/algorithm coding challenge (not pseudocode whiteboarding) has given a full description of the algorithm and allowed googling of basically anything except "AlgoX implementation in Langlang"
So when is apple going to merge cpu and gpu? Less than 5 years or more.
Another thing is that "workers in the decision loop" reeks of socialism.

Toyota do not have that kind of response though, as being Japanese in origin the leadership have a bit of Giri left in their thinking.

In some European nations after WW2 it was not uncommon to have enough worker representatives in the board room that they could affect a vote.

These days its been stripped down to a token union man that has little to no chance of affecting the decisions.

Lending Tree, Inc. | Software Engineer | Charlotte, NC | ONSITE

https://www.lendingtree.com
Email us at: jobs@lendingtree.com

Tech we use: C#, .NET core, Docker, Linux, Javascript, React, Mongo, SQL Server, Kafka, Spark

Who we are: LendingTree, Inc. empowers consumers with information, tools, advice, products and services for critical transactions and financial decisions in their lives.

Specifically - We're looking for:

Back-end Engineers:
You're a crack-shot in your back-end language of choice. Our system matches users with hundreds of possible opportunities in real-time. Needless to say, we're looking for people who care about performance. A lot. Our back-end systems are written in C#, Redis, Mongo, and SQLServer. You might know C# or Java or you might not, but either way you're willing to learn. Regardless, you can impress us in your language of choice. If you're a Senior Engineer - you've worked in server-side code for a few years. You've scaled to thousands or maybe millions of users. If you're a Junior engineer, you love to code and you're good at it. You're smart, you're passionate, and most of all you can't wait to get started. (New grads please apply!)

Front-end Engineers:
You know Javascript. You know the ins, the outs and how to make it blazing fast. You care about performance because you know your users are waiting for every line of your code. You've used some popular frameworks, maybe angular or react - but you know one or more cold.

Dev-ops Engineers:
When you were a kid, you probably took apart every clock in your house. You might have even put some of them back together. You spot system issues by watching graphs with only peripheral vision.
We use Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Mongo, and a lot of other cutting edge technologies. You have experience in all or some of those but either way you love getting clusters of systems humming. If you're a systems tinkerer, please apply.

Where we are:

Charlotte, NC: If you're into great weather and a central location (our airport is an American hub) you should check us out. You can pick great urban living (Uptown's 4th ward is the place to be) or get yourself a huge house (at reasonable prices) in the burbs. The standard of living for an engineer doesn't get any better than this.

You only have to run the privileged process that talks to the GPU in ring0 right?
As the mobile computing ecosystem matures it's becoming clear that it will mirror the PC dominated computing ecosystem. You have the major player (Microsoft/Windows in PC, Google/Android in mobile) occupying about 85% to 90% of total market share [0] while Apple/Mac/iOS will do well in the high end market and control about 10% to 15% share. iOS today controls about 20% to 25% of global market share but Android growth rates far outpace iPhone growth as Apple's first mover advantage continues to be diluted with time and smartphone commodification.

There must be some fundamental dynamic at play which favors the 85%/15% market share duopoly.

The tech doesn't have to replace the workers entirely, just improve their efficiency to the point that less humans are needed.

Take supermarkets. What used to be 10 checkout assistants serving 30 customers per hour each for a total throughput of 300 customers per hour, can now become 20 self checkout machines serving 15 customers per hour each, with 2 retrained checkout assistants to oversee 10 machines each and handle the edge cases. Same overall throughput. Each individual customers experience gets slightly worse (perhaps, although maybe the longer checkout time is offset by shorter queues?), but throughput stays the same, and staffing is reduced significantly. I'm seeing this right now in every large supermarket, and even a lot of smaller corner shop type ones.

There's a whole range of service jobs that are vulnerable to this kind of 80% efficiency improvement that will drastically reduce the levels of staff needed. Restaurant wait staff can be 80% replaced by self ordering via app or tablet. Bar staff, coffee shop staff (you can already preorder Starbucks and pay via the app, the human just makes the drinks), fast food staff (ever seen an express lane), all the same, a machine could make each staff member able to handle many times more customers but automating only the most repetitive parts leaving the human to just handle the edge cases.

They aren't talking about replacing all workers, just some of them. "The $35,000 robot can boost the number of items picked by a worker by 200 percent to 500 percent, Welty said, and six employees can handle work normally done by 20 to 25."
looking at code that re-implements features of the language is annoying enough, but having it be so non-pythonic is just painful.
>"It appears that your prior is uninformed by the extensive research into NHEJ, and the other successful genetic engineering methods which ate based on it."

I don't see how it is even possible for you to gather that from what I have said? All you could possibly have is a rough estimate of the ratio between the priors for NHEJ vs selection. Selection is a far more common and well studied process...

There also exist simple quantitative models of that process, which allow precise predictions, something lacking in the case of NHEJ models afaik, which must remain vague. So the likelihoods will also be narrower in the selection case.

Anyway, it was productive to discuss the specific paper and model, but is now getting philosophical and pointless. I only mentioned the scientific thought process because you asked why I would be skeptical.
It's easy; the main, and oftentimes only, qualification needed to teach english is being anglo-european, i.e. white.

The money is pretty good, especially with the relatively low cost of living. Lots of free time to be a hedonist, travel, etc.

This is also why you see not only lots of college aged kids in Asia, but also lots of older, middled-aged expat english teachers.
I like the hack from a technical perspective. It's fun. It's clever. It's creative. In terms of a business I wonder what sort of company culture this helps create and how that culture might scale.

Is it ok to pick country music or classical music or gospel? Can someone pick a misogynist tune for themselves? How about something with references to sexual acts? Will the janitor get entrance music?

Yea, it's kind of a downer to think about these things. The important thing here is the core abstraction: the company celebrating each individual every day (and probably several times a day) is valuable. The mechanism not so much because it allows massive opportunity for poor decisions. Anyone who feels harmed by it (or who sees potential harms in it) to be cast as against fun...e.g. me, right now.

This is also an unfair comparison, since it's unclear how inelastic demand is for full size luxury sedans vs mid size luxury sedans. I'd bet that if BMW stopped selling the 1-4 series, a decent chunk of their followers would buy a 5+ series. Likewise, many people buy a Model S because they want a Tesla and would buy a 3 if it were available.
The world does not owe me a living, but then again, it has no rules that I am bound to obey.

Civilization does owe me a living, in exchange for my good conduct. If civilization cannot or will not provide me with my survival needs, I will instead break its laws and prey upon its people and systems to get not just what I need, but also what I want. If your system cannot reasonably accommodate everyone, you will have outlaws fighting it.

You can build walls or commit genocides, but they are not going to play any game by the rules when the rules guarantee that they will lose it.

Unpopular opinion: I live in rural USA. I sure would love a paved road. Living on a dirt road is an economic net negative for the community. My cars, mail trucks, etc. dont last as long, not to mention it has to be graded every time it rains hard. Some road improvement is absolutely worth it.

However, I must admit, most roads go in at a loss. And without reguard for future cost of maint. It seems like there is a lot of good to do here but only if managed well. We can only hope the brightest offer their suggestions and effort, even to an administration they may dislike.
As a soccer fan, the service is great as it has live La Liga games for free. They have some Mythbusters episodes too. The original content they try to push looks awful though.
Can we ever fix this system and get a better balance of rewarding innovation vs. accepting patent abuse?

How about this for a litmus test. Present a problem to new 4 year college graduates that they haven't heard the answer before. If x% of come back with a solution, that solution is obvious enough to be consider invalidating the patent.

Or let validity be judged by independent groups of practioners who weigh the novelty and also the impediment of a patent to world progress.

As those who've written patents already know, they are not even decent scientific or technical documentation. They're mostly a bunch of jargon and phrases meant to tic off legal checkboxes. No one would ever write a document that way if the sole purpose was to explain something.

Spreadsheet functionality is not as intuitive or as seamless aaS as it is on the desktop for whatever reason.

I also expect that any product without an on-prem option is going to lose out in the enterprise space.

They could easily force change on the app for such change. Look at what they're doing regarding Bitcode and how quickly it might become the default.
You're the first person I've seen hold that phrase in a negative light, can you explain what you mean?
This really isn't news, it's been known for years. A GPU team is based in Austin (knowing Apple, they likely have multiple).
See, I understand the wish to leave the windows lock-in behind, but I'm not sure the alternative really exists yet.

"Raw" linux, even the likes of ubuntu, is not ready for it, I'm not even sure it ever will be. No, I can't give my dad a linux box and expect him to read the upgrade instruction when his distro moves to system.d or whatever, and fix the likes of "can't update kernel because /boot is full". Of course to anyone who knows anything even remotely about it those are trivial non issues, but to my dad it's a complete show stopper.

On the other hand, the best example of widespread cleaned up easy to use linux we have in android or chromeos, well, ... Sure, the code is a lot more open source and yada yada, but while I can do whatever I want on my windows box, I suddenly need to hope there is a way to root my own phone/tablet for lots of stuff. That is definitely not where I want my computer to go.

Disclaimer: I'm a happy windows user at home, and linux at work. And my phone is Android. I'm not bashing here.
Almost all of that is irrelevant. Just use UTF-8.

Events like this make me think that internet connectivity is a bane, not a boon. This may be one of the unpopular opinions that one believes but is not willing to say out loud.

It may be time for me to stock up on multiple 1965 VW bugs to supply my transport needs until the apocalypse. Simple car, no electronics for a vendor to snoop with (hello Tesla) or tamper with (sorry you stooped to your customer's level of behavior, Garadget).
Of course they are, except that no one thinks that they will actually kill Office. I'm sure that they can attract some users, but killing Office...Not going to happen, and they are just using the notion as marketing for the "anything but Microsoft" crowd that also happen to be early adopters.
Finally a software company makes a GPU.
They will put it back on your card if you ask. It's a dark pattern for sure though.

This doesn't mention a huge side effect of having so much of tech clustered in 3 regions - housing costs. It is so, so much cheaper to live in other places, and at this point the bubble is such that most of my friends aren't aware of the difference in magnitude. Rent on a 1 bed in a cool part of Kansas City is $500 or so (actual rate my friend pays), my rent in Queens is 5 times that. It's such a huge difference that completely changes my long term planning, job choices, etc - it's crazy. SV has it even worse than we do, which is kind of unbelievable. I don't really see how anyone can bootstrap here, whereas it seems deeply doable in a low cost city, which is a critical part of the whole tech narrative.
