I've owned two devices where bluetooth audio and wifi interfered with each other. This is not even remotely unusual.

Every time I drive past that retail store with the saved wifi it tries really, really hard to connect to the store causing pause/stuttering on the bluetooth audio for about 3 seconds about 90% of the time.

People are good at pattern matching, after a couple hundred events on a couple hundred commutes you pick up on the exact telephone pole I drive by where I expect my audio playback to stutter.

For something like a podcast or audio book its just a word or two hardly noticeable, but for music its very annoying and I'll shut off the wifi to avoid the interference.

If you try hard you can find just the wrong spot in the gym or office or restaurant where the phone goes nuts trying to connect to a very weak wifi over and over and failing and causing chaos in which case you have to shut off the wifi to get any work done over the more reliable data plan.
The key, as it has always been through the centuries, is to not think of whoever you're killing as "people". Yes, they slaughtered thousands of people like pigs, because they didn't view them very differently from pigs.

Turns out, in addition to our evolved horror of killing someone like ourselves we also have an evolved ability to dehumanize the other to the point where the "someone like ourselves" label no longer applies. Came in pretty handy, evolutionarily speaking, when two packs of monkeys ended up in close proximity, with insufficient food.
Slack will have a hard time killing office, seeing as MS Teams does pretty much all that Slack does, and integrates with all the rest of Office 365.
Sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to convey in the first two paragraphs.
The way I remember it, I would need to buy an expensive IBM with PS2 architecture to be able to use OS/2 properly, instead of the 386 I got with Windows, so lets not forget that IBM didn't managed the whole situation properly.
I assume you still cant use a credit card to load... But if you can this is a fraud concern.

Amazon doesn't have a brick and mortar like Walmart, et al where you can keep loading $$ on a card you purchase once.

My experience with bankless adults is that they are not Amazon proficient. Perhaps this will help.
GuardSquare | Software Engineer C++ / LLVM | Leuven, Belgium | Full-Time | On-Site

GuardSquare is looking for a software engineer with an interest in software
security. You have knowledge of compiler technologies (LLVM) or the Mach and/or
Linux kernel and you are definitely not afraid of disassemblers or debuggers.

For more information have a look at our website, where you can apply online: https://www.guardsquare.com/en/jobs
Still, somehow Linux distros are reasonably safe but Android is broken.
I suspect that the OP is not describing language proficiency. I have met many American-born (and speaking) developers who are still terrible at communicating.

Not that developers are alone in this of course, but it's a profession that allows people to work alone (and often at home/in isolated environments) a lot more than other jobs do.
I think it's to serve the very large and very real market of people without credit cards. I guarantee they're not paying 2.9% credit card transactions; At their bulk they've got incredible deals with every card provider. I'm also sure they're giving a percent or more to the store accepting cash for them - Similar to gift card buying models.

7% of the US, a first world nation with amazing credit services, is unbanked[1]. From that same source, nearly 20% is underbanked - As in, they still go to Check-cashing places and get cash directly, rather than getting direct-deposit.

AI's Impact on Startup Communities
You can also do this with Coinstar machines, which offer conversion of arbitrary amounts of cash (coinage or bills) to multiple kinds of gift cards, including Amazon, for no fee.
Let me ask a (potentially) very stupid question here:
What prevents doing the same on phones?

What would make a phone hardware able to install anything that compiles to its CPU architecture the same way a PC can?
I think you may be thinking of Amex and Visa gift cards. AFAIK, those are the only ones that charge any sort of fee. Amazon, and other retailers, eTailers, restaurants, etc., generally don't have a fee to buy or maintain, and funds never expire.

AIR.TV | Los Angeles | Full Time, Onsite | http://air.tv

AIR.TV is an online video platform and advertising solution.

We are a tiny team working out of a private office in Mid-City, with a line of customers deploying our product and eager for what we're building next. There is a lot of software being created by just a few people, and it's possible for you to make a huge impact. The pace is quick, but with lots of individual flexibility.

It's a very interesting time for us - our latest product is attracting customers faster than we can bring them online. Most ad tech is not defensible, but our product depends on our in-house video platform and our relationships with content producers. Those producers can finally monetize off-YouTube embeds, and at the same time we're bringing significant revenue to web publishers who have built large followings by curating and embedding viral videos.

Our tech stack currently includes: JavaScript (Angular, node.js), Python, BigQuery, and Ansible.

We are patiently searching for great engineers, particularly full-stack developers. If this sounds interesting, please contact us - careers (at) air (dot) tv
So now that you are out of academia, do you now occasionally pursue those low-cost research ideas in computer science on your own? I mean, while $5k isn't anything to sneeze at, it is still within the realm of DIY research monetary levels (ie - if I wanted to, I could save up such an amount in a few months from my workaday salary).

So - unless such research no longer interests you (or you have zero free time to devote to such) - it would seem like that since you don't need to kowtow to the academic whims on getting massive amounts of money for research - you should now be able to pursue these questions...
Elon Musk has said: "I would rather commit seppuku than fail" - seppuku being ritual suicide.

Tips and Tricks for Beautifully Simple Mobile App CI
>30 years ago there was no internet, no smoothy bar equipped fitness rooms, no pretty dorms and everything upscale.

Weirdly enough, I went to school 10 years ago, and there was crappy internet, ugly dormitories with housing shortages, and decades-old gyms with "smoothy bar" being a totally unknown term. They finished building a new gym with a smoothy bar in my senior year.

They didn't add new dorms until after I graduated.

An electric f150 is kind of the dream actually. Electric is great for fleet vehicles and it has all the low end torque your frame can handle. Plus trucks have plenty of space to put batteries, under the bed, between the bed and the cab, that can be nice and rectangular. Electric drive train means more effective ground clearance for a given ride height too because you don't need a drive shaft or exhaust. Regenerative brakes are probably better than engine braking too, at least from a wear and tear perspective.

> Microsoft put OS/2

Actually regarding OS/2, IBM had lots of blame as well.

They didn't managed the whole situation properly and trying to use OS/2 to get back into the game of selling their own PS2 architecture didn't help win the hearts of the buyers.

I would have had to pay almost 500 € extra, on today's money to get a PC capable of running OS/2 properly, instead of the one I got with Windows 3.1.
The person that I replied to seemed to be saying that certain beliefs should be disallowed, and that's what I was responding to.

As to what should win out: Truth is a fine ideal to work towards, but one should never expect that it's what will actually win. "Should" is like "deserves". They're nice to think about, but not always realistic.

Ah ok. The problem is not the deal itself, but that the system's goal then lead to utilize the deal in negative ways.
I highly recommend Wired's article about GM's long-term bet in developing the Bolt. It talks about many ways that developing an electric car is not just a matter of adding batteries to your existing expertise in car manufacturing.

e.g.:

> Nearly everything changes when you opt for a fundamentally different power train, so GM’s greatest advantage—more than a century of experience building cars—was all but moot. Car structure was different, since they were building around a battery, not an engine. The brakes, steering, and air conditioner were powered differently. New systems, from electromagnetics for the motors to onboard and off-board charging, each came with its own learning curve. The engineers didn’t have established tests to follow. Just turning on the car required finding the perfect sequence of electrical signals from more than a dozen modules. “Oh my God, it took us forever to get the first Volt to start,” Fletcher says.

Do you have a hypothesis about what the correlation might be?
iOS and Android are kinda a given. I personally prefer to use their native languages (Obj-C / Swift and Java) but that's just me not wanting to deal with interpreters and such from React Native, phonegap, etc... The native languages are perfectly capable IMO so no need to add another layer of complexity.

Web development is a different issue; If the site needed chat features, I might choose a Parse server or integrate with Firebase or other realtime NoSQL servers. Some form of MySQL IMO is always a requirement as eventually, you'll want to run reports and such and still IMO there isn't a NoSQL server that can handle it better then an SQL server. Hosting is it's own animal - Rackspace, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure - pick your poison. If you need to keep server costs low and want to scale quickly - AWS. Don't need to scale quickly but need a load balancer / cdn / backups - Try Rackspace. Don't need a CDN? Try Digital Ocean. Tons of different price points; capabilities, etc... I've run sites on most and most can handle most projects; just depends on specific business needs and experience of the sys admin. Some don't like the complexity of AWS; some are ok with it. Some prefer DO; some want Windows servers (Azure)
So is there some image from this site we can all embed in our own sites and content so they get tracked more widely? Do govtrack welcome and have the bandwidth for that?
There is no meaningful one. If the industry can't make the distinction then it's futile to hope that the government will. Having gone through the visa process, it's simply a case of having the right keywords in your work experience (SQL! Check!) - it's quite possible that those checklist items are different between the two jobs, but any enginner/developer will have sufficient overlap that they'd qualify for both.

Feels more like a grass-roots mechanism to give interest free loans to Amazon :-)...you park money with Amazon until you buy something from them. Gift cards too seem to do the same thing, but I guess there is more cost to Amazon with Gift cards.
Sure, but those jobs are few and far between. If you are indeed writing that sort of code, then it makes complete sense to test people on that, but the vast majority of jobs using this style of testing are not.
If you included additional fact that the domestic radiation is not fatal, it does solve the problem.
It kind of is Google's fault. Most people associate any version of Android with Google. Manufactures that don't update their phones causes harm to both the manufacture's image and Google image.

Personally, I place all the blame on Google for not making the upgrades possible from their side. It should be easy to upgrade the core operating system as easy as updating Windows, OSX, and Linux.

> One would assume so. That's not always the case in my experience. Improvisational discussion of design tradeoffs and costs happen a lot. YMMV, I guess.

They certainly do, but significant, unchangeable decisions should not be made that way. If I think there is a better alternative to something expressed in one of these discussions, but do not have the details at hand to make the case, I will voice the alternative and compile the details later. Choices like that should not be made without documented rationale anyway.

> I'd agree with that, but design processes on the whole tend to more dysfunctional than organizations realize. There's still a lot stuff running on deprecated OSs, dead languages, and mountains of technical debt.

The solution is to fix the organizational dysfunction. Hiring to the dysfunction is a band-aid at best.

> What is Congress browsing?

This question implies something else: what are all the URLs referenced/accessed by Congress? The page says something different, and I believe the headline is misleading:

> This page is a public record of any time someone visits GovTrack.us from within the United States Senate, House of Representatives, or the White House, and their associated office buildings.

Of all pages one can browse on the web from within Congress machines, how relevant is GovTrack.us overall in that data? It's like saying the ISP publishes only my browsing data that happens to hit on my ISP's own website itself. Did I misunderstand something?

A better strategy would be to determine which ISP serves Congress, and pay them for the data of IPs originating from Congress.
