Bush didn't employ actual fascists like vitez Gorka of the Vitezi Rend, a Horthyite organization that helped the Nazis kill Jews, in his administration.
This is incorrect for multiple reasons. The two big ones off the top of my head:

1. They could release source and provide no guarantee of supporting API backwards-compatibility, exactly as they do today, only with the source available publicly.

2. They already deal with API deprecation. Owning the client doesn't get it to every device instantly. Even logic pushed into Google Play Services requires a (sometimes lengthy) rollout and relies on customers to approve the install.

To be clear, the discussion isn't about whether Google should pull things out of AOSP and put them into Play Services. The discussion is about whether Google can open the source for those components. So long as Google owns the copyright, the answer is a clear yes.
>Do you doubt that men like Bannon, Pence, and Sessions have plans for California? Or are trying to get ideas for plans?

Yes.
Sports teams are also relatively small organizations. The number of players on a team is in the dozens. No one could shirk by w/o it being noticed.

I was not talking about implementing anything.

I disagree with you in a lot of things. I don't like whiteboards because they are stressful and feels strange if you don't use them regularly. I was a teacher which uses whiteboards daily and they are completely different to use a computer. I would rather ask the candidate to talk about one of his projects and start asking relevant questions related to the job position and applied to the project he knows. And have a discussion this way. And the iteration with the candidate is only biasing your decision towards his personality and not his skills. To know if he does the things like I would do them.

But that is my opinion, the person who is hiring is the one who decides who he wants to hire. I feel more confident in finding a good fit/candidate my way that how you described.
No, but there's a level of the EE tech stack where you do need to understand (and have the ability to build) the level below. I don't need to know: how to construct a transistor, build a logic gate, build a look-ahead adder, construct an ALU, CPU, computer hardware, write assembly, or write a compiler to do my job (although the last couple start getting close enough to my bailiwick that I think they're useful).

I'd expect that something basic in an EE job could be "draw the core part of an oscillator circuit, then we'll talk about the principles of its operation". The discussion would end up going into some properties of capacitors, why they chose that exact form of oscillator, expected use-cases, etc. The behavior of the object lower in the "stack" becomes important, and so does a real understanding of how they work. Of course, actually requiring them to build one would be ridiculous.
I don't have any sources to back this up but I don't think that worries Musk. I don't think he's actually overly concerned about Tesla succeeding at self driving cars, or electric cars.

Musk wants the self driving car industry to be better. He needs those technologies to be significantly better for his interplanetary ambitions to be realised.

The solar roof, the power bank, all of the other endeavours he is engaged in are all intended to catalyse the industries that he's rattling the cage of. He'll need them on Mars and they're not good enough at the moment.

Ford winning at self driving cars is a good result for Musk.
As far as suppliers go, Tesla is tightly vertically integrated and is willing to build anything in house if it increases their quality or delivery date. This is their buisness strategy for beating companies like Ford, and with baby-hands Trump in the office killing international trade left and right, it looks like it might be a winning bet (free trade is required for cheap supply chains).
I got in trouble as an intern at an investment bank between high school and college because I was seen wearing sneakers (with a suit). My direct boss had to take me out shopping for some fancier shoes, which was something of a challenge because I don't wear leather.

I really have to hand it to that boss.
Most developers do not worl on user facing concurrent code? Such as user interfaces?
Moreover, if USCIS thought this would affect already-filed applications, I think they would've made a clear blog post stating it as opposed to dumping it in a hard-to-read memorandum. (I'm subscribed to their newsletter which I've observed sends out all pertinent news with no delays).
I'm not clear on what's "damaging" about the statement we're talking about. I suspect there are a couple misunderstandings underneath this thread:

1. People are confusing the standard advice given to founders about VCs with advice for the consulting world. It's true that NDAs are basically verboten in VC pitches (they shouldn't be: I've personally been a party --- twice --- to large VCs flagrantly abusing data that would have been NDA'd in any other normal business conversation). But that's not a norm in consulting; the consulting norm is precisely the opposite.

2. People are confusing NDAs with noncompetes and IP agreements. Naturally, I don't think it's a good idea to accept a noncompete, or really (at the client prospect stage) any general purpose IP contract.

Obviously, I don't think it's the case that refusing to sign any specific contract is unprofessional! Companies put all sorts of janky things in proposed noncompetes. Absolutely, you should get your contracts reviewed. But ultimately, before you do any significant work with any company that is actually likely to pay you when you're finished, you're almost certainly going to sign some kind of NDA.

In fact: if you're not asked to sign an NDA (really, if you're not asked to sign a standard consulting agreement that includes far more intrusive terms than an NDA), my advice is run don't walk from that client. They're not going to pay you for your work.
It appears that SSNs, as issued, are unique. But there are claims (which seem to be largely based from a study that some company called ID Analytics did about 10 years ago) that there may be millions of duplicate records because of identity theft, data entry errors, and people using the wrong number by accident.
What're you doing? My current plan is to try my damnedest to get a big 4 job. It sounds like you're trying to freelance in your off hours? How is that going?
I'm from a similar background and this doesn't make any sense, but since I know it's going to devolve into an argument of "Well, they don't speak the primary language in the area, so they can't communicate with the tellers", "they're too old so they can't drive anymore", or "they're illiterate [either literally or financially] and their caretaker doesn't like taking them to the bank", I'm not going to go there.

I'm not saying people with unique issues shouldn't be accommodated, but their problems are more basic than something that a change in bank policy/regulation will adequately improve. The issue is not about being "underbanked", it's about improving accessibility to the environment.

It is true that at a time in the past, checking accounts were guarded more carefully, as the bank was fronting that money on your behalf and would have to be reasonably confident that it'd be in your checking account when they went to get reimbursed. That's not unreasonable, but checking accounts weren't the only type of account offered at the bank, and they absolutely were in wide use, even among unfortunate people, at least until they bounced too many checks.

This has mostly gone away with debit cards, because the bank can now tell whether you have the money in the account or not before they approve the transaction. Last time I got a checking account, the process was a formality, and there were no eligibility requirements in excess of the documentation legally required to open an account and the (small) minimum deposit.

The other thing is there's an implication here that banking is a human necessity. There's another commenter who laments that people in Nepal don't have a Mastercard.

People do not have a right to banking. It's a private service, and in many ways (described above), it's not a desirable one. Banks no longer pay an appreciable amount of interest, which was most of their value proposition to the consumer before they were able to shoehorn in as the keepers of electronic payment systems.

I'm just going to call a spade a spade here, and say that the reason there's a sudden interest in the "unbanked" is that they have a harder time participating in online commerce, and the government is anxious to hop on board that train because money in banks is money under their control.

Some founder of an irrelevant SaaS app is lamenting that a Nepalese person may not find it convenient to pay him $10 / mo to email the local air pollution index or something. That's a pretty silly thing to try to cause a moral panic over.

If we want to talk about how it's cool that Amazon has devised an electronic payment system that circumvents banking, that's great, I think it's awesome. But I'm not on board with the terms "un[der]banked" in the first place, as they imply that banking is a default, and then if we accept that, I'm still not on board with acting as if they are signals of some meaningful social malignancy.
Denouement
They should also track html referer tags. That should give insight into the blogs that staffers are reading, at least those that link people over to govtrack. Other data can be used to identify individual devices which, when tied to the known movements and appearances of public figures, should be enough to identify individuals. Heck, put the entire data dump online and crowdsource the project. Within weeks we'll know which senators are reading which bills while they commute, and which don't.

To go the next step, govtrack could adopt some proper
ad-based cookies to track users across multiple sites. But that would cost money. I'm surprised Larry Flint, and anyone else looking for dirt on politicians, haven't done this already.
> I refuse to own a smartphone.

That is your loss. You're blaming the tool instead of the people.

And then you renounce said tool, when it could be used (as the tool it is) to improve your life and your work. To create greater things.

Before the smartphones, people were made dumb by the TV. And before that, by the radio, and before that it was something else, and something else.

People that want to passively waste their time could always do that, and will keep doing.
Beijing has a lot of Tesla Model S's these days, up from virtually nil a few years ago. Chalk it up to Beijing separating the plate lottery for EVs, and the people that normally buy Audi aren't going to buy a Chinese EV.
It's not!

We have some info on the connector here: https://cobattery.com/connector

Apple doesn't actually let you buy a chip that will allow for the right angle connector that we have. So we decided to design our own. It was a pretty time intensive process and we had to search for a while for a good factory. But we are happy with the way it turned out.
When was the last time you went looking for moonshine or had moonshine offered to you?
Awesome! thanks, looking forward to it!
They don't need a loop-hole. This is basically a semi-closed stored-value card, which are a grey area between debit cards and closed stored-value cards (think gift cards).

It's not identical. The WiFi chip has its own processor running its own code, and that's what the exploit affects.

It may be possible, even trivial, to leverage that into running arbitrary code on the main CPU, depending on how the stuff is designed. If the WiFi chip has unrestricted access to RAM then that would be it. If not, it's likely that the OS drivers for the chip aren't hardened against malicious input from the WiFi chip and could be exploited.
> but then we're led to believe that getting them to update on time was hard

"Led to believe"? Is there any dispute about the fact that most Android manufacturers deliver major updates very slowly and often not at all?
Its a bit more complicated than that.

Quite often these days when a part is initialized, the driver uploads firmware as part of that.

If you look at most Linux distros they have a package of firmwares that various companies have allowed to be distributed with the kernel.

Meaning there is a small part of the Qualcomm blob that needs to interface with the kernel to upload the firmware.

And the interface changes as the kernel changes. This because Linux devs don't want the hassle of trying to debug a kernel panic only to find that it is happening inside a third party blob, and thus they can't fix it. Instead they want companies to either work with them to maintain drivers or hand them the information needed to maintain a open driver within the kernel source.

Ah, makes sense. I didn't catch the distinction that they were making. Thank you!
Python is slow. Sometimes this matters (pypy can improve speed in many but not all cases).
Open source software has plenty of high profile security disasters too. Pretending otherwise is either ignorant or disengenuous.
Excel to the rescue.
It's not "personal belongings," it's "personal space." Hot-sheeting happens where sleeping space is extremely limited, like oil drilling camps, but it hasn't taken off among the general population, despite the fact that you only use your bed for around 1/3 of the day. People are willing to pay for their own beds and, frequently, their own apartments or houses, despite the fact that most of that space goes unused most of the time for someone with normal work and sleep schedules. Do you AirBnB your bed (at hourly rates)? Do you AirPantsAndT your clothes? Most people don't.

I doubt I'll last another 50 years, but I'll probably live long enough to see the end of the current robot taxi fad.
If you know the right people - or are in the right areas - it's not unusual or even uncommon. I know people who make moonshine in California.

Ah interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks!
Yep, lots of people were wrong about this. Being wrong is not evil though.
This is from June 2016
There's no comparison. How many right wing populists have had an organization like the NSA at their disposal? While he's clearly got some work to do in bringing the military and intelligence communities to heel, the potential danger if he's successful is extreme.
A change of control of Ford would likely trigger a default under Ford's debt, at which point it must be paid back. So if you are not financing with debt, an acquiror would really need the $150bn EV in order to afford to acquire the company. Of course, in reality, an acquiror would either replace such debt with new acquisition financing or work out a way to keep the existing debt in place.

DCF is indeed a method to estimate the fair value of a company's EV, not it's market cap. People will usually do a DCF, then subtract net debt in order to get an estimate of equity value from the DCF. Here's a citation: http://macabacus.com/valuation/dcf/overview
>Microsoft Office is legacy software. Its killer won't have anything to do with, it will be totally different. For example, Slack.

A business can't write office documents and do spreadsheets in Slack, and they'll need to do both things well into the year 2100.

What you describe is not an "office killer". Is just an app that might win businesses for a different task.

At best an Outlook Server killer, or a totally new category.

>I mean, killing PowerPoint is not making a webapp to create presentations, but creating something that makes creating presentations unnecessary.

That's not how it works, except in a handful of situations and only when the new product covers the same basic need (e.g. Netflix vs VHS or Cinema).
1. No dealerships isn't innovative. It's common in many parts of the world.

2. Is anyone interested in adopting Tesla's power connector ? If not then it is a massive sunk cost. Not a smart move for a small company.

3. Not aware of any unique integation between Tesla car and the Powerwall battery. I can imagine the car being used as an extended battery but that's hardly a game changer.

4. The big difference for me having driven a Tesla is how god awful the interiors are. Arguably one of the worst on the road today. That's definitely unique.
Some people just like owning cars. I live in San Francisco and don't currently own a car, but I want one. Perfect example where Uber fails - I can't take my dog anywhere.

Different people have different values. Also I'm quite young, so I don't think age is a strict delineation.
Come on, you're exaggerating.

> tried so hard to prevent me to replace OS, modify the software, writing code and text

It's pretty easy to install a new OS on a typical Android phone. 1 million registered LineageOS installations already, many many millions of CyanogenMod installations before that.

How do smartphones try to prevent you from writing code and text? Apple even made this: https://www.apple.com/swift/playgrounds/ For the iPad, of course, because phones are small… but not impossible to use for code. I have edited websites over SFTP with https://textasticapp.com/iphone.html on an iPhone 4 back in the day! Also don't forget http://omz-software.com/pythonista/ And you can make Android apps on an Android phone: http://www.android-ide.com

Honestly the worry about "omg smartphones are turning everyone into consumers who don't create anything" is ridiculous. People write blog posts, edit photos and videos on smartphones a lot. A LOT.

> a handful of people who can use efficient input device, the keyboard

I really like my mechanical keyboard with blank keycaps, but I do type a lot on my phone's onscreen keyboard as well, and it is pretty efficient!

Given I know someone who works rather hard, full time, on negotiating grants and other contracts and they're far from the Dean level, I'd suggest you're off from the amount of work required to run and administer a university by a pretty hefty margin.
