I wasn't kidding. The management aspect of the medical system is terrible. The quality standards of individual procedures is high but the overall management is terrible. Nobody talks to each other, everybody just does their little part without anybody having a bigger picture. My girlfriend now has had several failed surgeries. Whenever we go to a different surgeon they never ask the previous guy what he has done. I once suggested he should call and ask. The surgeon seemed really insulted. And as I said before when something fails there is no retrospective. They disappear and send a 50000 dollar invoice.
If it helps I'm thinking of expanding the usage of those bindings to function keyword and default arguments as well. :)

I used to have an Amex Gold card, was in Brazil when they called to let me know they'd seen some dodgy transactions (someone buying stuff in Sweden on my card - obviously Volvo, IKEA and something else ;) about $5-700 worth at each place). I was grateful they noticed and blocked the card.

I asked about the guarantee to get me a new card within 24 hours, as I was in some far away-ish vacation town I was ok with them getting it to my hotel when I would return to Rio two days later. Never received a replacement.

I got it back home in Sweden when I returned. Never bothered with them since.

It's amazing how many people out there consider MITM as something they don't have to defend against. If you're a developer you have to assume your system will be MITMed. It doesn't matter if you're on the Internet or behind a firewall. Trust on first use is not a good solution because someone can tailor their attack against that first use.
Thanks :-)

What are the syntax features most jarring to you? I suspect it's the ones that's been ported from Lua but I'm not sure.
Maybe. But the end result is where we are now. People go to college to try and learn a skill. Don't really learn the skill as well as an apprenticeship. Get a lot of debt.
In 2004 it was estimated the tax holiday brought back $300B, and I would expect it to be a bit higher this time. But there was no burst of inflation in 2004 so I wouldn't expect one this time either.
Technically, that would require taxing a foreign company for foreign business activity. It's out of the US's jurisdiction.
Or the lack of distributed networks. If available bandwidth for serving content scaled with demand for it it would be more difficult to attack it.
No, they have $246B minus around $80B in debt. Some of the $246B is overseas.
Or Satoshi died, which has been another theory.
You could do that but it would create more games with headquarters being outside the US and even small businesses/medium businesses would start doing that. There would be a million loopholes around it.

I say corporations won the war, they have the legal teams to keep winning. As a response let small/medium sized businesses compete better by just lowing business taxes to really low levels, or progressive taxing as you grow. Right now the high tax rate only really affects our engine small/medium businesses who provide 50% of GDP, 65+% of jobs and 33% of exports.

The only companies paying taxes are small/medium businesses, the tax system here almost is a competitive advantage to large companies over small/medium. If larger companies aren't going to invest here, get competitive help to the small/medium companies and entrepreneurs that are to challenge them.
Fraud declines can be really random. I put a lot of travel on my cards and in the last couple of years I had a decline at a grocery store while traveling and a decline at a gas station convenience store. Fortunately, someone else was with me for one of those and the amount was piddling with the second.

I now always carry a spare card from a different bank although I'm not certain I wouldn't have issues if I suddenly started putting big charges on a card I rarely use.
Ego/jealously know no bounds. Society should really try to get a handle on it as a 'group effort'.
Make has some serious shortcomings though. Some that I can think of: it relies on timestamps instead of content hashes, it doesn't rebuild things when e.g. compiler flags change, its approach to header dependencies in C/C++ is clumsy, it needs to parse the Makefile each time (which for large projects takes non-negligible time), it doesn't have an integration with inotify (which means it needs to stat() every file to check its timestamp).
Automated data mining – this legit?
Oh don't over dramatize. Software develops have it way better than 90% of other people.

"just cash" has a reasonably specific definition for corporate accounting, and definitely does not include investments in startups. It's gotta be liquid in like <<1yr or something.

Also not sure what you mean by "the economy", since the majority of that cash is likely not in one country...

No, they are not.

The speed of Microsoft's transformation from universally hated evil FUD masters to white and fluffy friends of everyone really boggles one's mind. Just as does the gullibility and naivete of those taking it all for face value. Microsoft may be missing Balmer as a head figure, but it is the same old corporation that doesn't give a flying fuck about anything or anyone except for its own interests, which has been made abundantly clear by their past and prsent Windows 10 shenannigans. "We hear you loud and clear, you want to have better control over telemetry, so we included a choice of vaseline flavours in Creators Update." But, yeah, let's focus on their fresh coat of marketing paint with liberal sprinkle of github repos and assume that all these surely come from some other Board of directors and CEO.

Fish rots from the head. Microsoft has never been an ethical company and it still is not.

That would actually be tax evasion, and it's illegal. There is no evidence for your assertion.

What actually happens is Apple sells product to international subsidiaries to sell in their countries. In some cases international subsidiaries build products and sell them to Apple US and other subsidiaries.

The profits from international sales and production are profits in the subsidiaries that sold or made them. They aren't taxable in the US until those subsidiaries pay dividends to their owner, Apple US. Given that the US and California corporate income tax rates combine to equal 40%+, Apple US chooses not to take dividends from the subsidiaries at this time, and allows the profits to accumulate in savings accounts overseas.*

*this is a simplification of course, but basically accurate. One thing Apple does is funnel lots of the subsidiary profits to Apple Ireland, because Ireland's tax rates for the bank account interest is extremely low. But it all works out the same as Apple Ireland is a subsidiary of Apple US, and Apple US can't touch those profits without losing over 40% of them to US/CA taxes.
Helping Chrome or Firefox improve their battery life - on Windows 10 - improves the image of Windows laptops overall.
If you lower taxes to encourage overseas profits to come home then won't you drive what you already consider to be a strong dollar even higher.

Tax policy is typically used in the opposite way, if the dollar drops and the US government wants to shore it up, it will alter tax policy to encourage repatriation. The Bush administration did it in the early 2000's if I recall correctly to help strengthen the dollar.

The lower the stakes, the more vicious the infighting.
After you graduate medical school you are required to undergo post-graduate education to receive your license. This post-graduate education system hasn't had an expansion of slots in over 20 years (the Balanced Budget Act of '96 put a frozen cap on the number of funded positions.) A number of positions are unfunded, and hospitals are trying to actively eliminate those (rather than grow the pool of physicians to meet demand.) The actual amount paid out for these slots has been repeatedly cut into as well, as part of various political wranglings.

New med schools are opening every day, but they're an irrelevancy when the chokepoint is actually getting narrower.

Additionally, docs are just the most expensive staff members. It's bad business to have someone who costs $10/hr doing work someone else can do for $5/hr. Hospital CFOs don't care if it makes patients feel like shit, and doctors feel like shit; they don't want to pay out the marginal $/hr.
Yes, but the reason people are happy is because Microsoft is helping its own interest by doing things that people want. Which is a lot better than not doing things people want and furthering their own interests, because its usually not what people want. And it is something that people have been wanting for a long time.
I think the point wasn't that you shouldn't help people understand your language or culture. It's expecting everyone to know this stuff automatically and looking down on someone for not knowing everything about it. That isn't very nice/fair.

Nah. Apple's "foreign business activity" in Ireland is a tax dodge.
Because everyone who has flown knows you need to choose these basic things when flying: Departure, Arrival, and two Departure Dates. So it's not that bad if the app won't hold your hands and tells you that you need these basic things.
A few things:

1. how can an experimental library (x/) get a CVE?

2. what is "hostkey verification"? Probably the fingerprint check you usually get when you ssh into a machine + the blocking warning you get when the fingerprint of the machine suddenly changes.

3. if this is what "hostkey verification" is. How is it so hard to implement? create some sort of fingerprint out of the server's public key; prompt the user for input; cache the result.
Just switch to what?
Which is pretty easy to pass, you just have to follow the coding standards.
The Apple TV 4 isn't region-locked either, and is probably the easiest one to have games from multiple regions on. I have games and apps from both the US and JP iTunes stores side by side on my home screen.
That money is mostly Apple intellectual property that's been sold to a foreign apple company and then relicensed to Apple USA... they are just paying themselves to move the money out of the country.
What does a CVE number have to do with whether the target is experimental? A bug is a bug.

Is your problem with diagram, similar, or improvising? I can understand a problem with improvising, in that I should have been more specific. Specifically, every improvising musician working in the area of any type of jazz that involves playing over chord changes. The diagram discussed here is really very fundamental, open and "big picture". Certainly, musicians have their own "circle of" diagrams in their heads if they ever plan on doing ii-v-1s etc. If they are playing anything resembling chord changes, it would be hard to avoid thinking in patterns of chord progressions, unless the person was aiming to subvert that system (certainly an acceptable strategy) and create their own tonal/chordal language while other band members do changes. Many avant-garde players do that, and then many don't bother with chord changes at all. But when one is expected to produce a bass line or a harmonic line, one does need some kind of a diagram that (because of the nature of the harmonic system itself) will be very very similar to this one. I'm a professional jazz musician. I play traditional and experimental jazz, and I seriously have yet to meet a single colleague who doesn't have their own circular or loop-like diagram that looks a heck of a lot like this one. But I'm open to hearing about a new way of thinking-- perhaps you could tell me about that, and I could share ti with my colleagues. We all do tend to get trapped in our own ways.
Even building the Mothership in Cupertino didn't make a dent in that cash. It's supposed to open soon, but it doesn't look finished yet.
Unfortunately, if you read any of the other posts on this blog, you'll see this is kind of par for his course.
The details are worth a lot to the right customers. For example, I might spend up to a thousand dollars more for my Mac than a similar PC. But that works out to a cost of way less than 50 cents an hour to me in work hours. The extra details only need increase my productivity less than 1% to pay for that. Details such as being able to run three operating systems, retina screens, high build quality, mag-safe, Mac OS features, etc, etc. For me, it's a no brainer.

I bought an Apple watch for development, but it's been a pretty good purchase all around. Two years of value and it works better than ever. I can't say the extra functionality makes it worth more than an android watch costing a few hundred less, but I suspect they do given it's something you wear every day.

This is a fairly gnarly space in general. Because of various laws, they have to collect much more data, with more granularity, than a normal e-commerce site. Like birthdates, middle initials, loyalty numbers, etc...for every passenger, not just the buyer. And searching for products is more complex as well. You have to account for cities with multiple airports, one way vs rt, displaying key info like layovers, ancillary charges for bags, many different sorts/filters etc. Oh, and inventory that appears, disappears or changes price (or terms) very rapidly. Just examples, this kind of thing is spread throughout.

Throwing the need to do this in at least 4 disparate interfaces (desktop, mobile web, Android, iOS) then amplifies any mistakes.

There isn't really any airline that does this completely right. If they get close, keeping up with business and platform changes usually breaks it at some future point.

You can put anything that will run in a browser inside other HTML. WebGL, Animate, and older formats such as Flash, Silverlight, Shockwave, QuickTime, and Java applets are often framed like that. That doesn't mean it's compatible. There's a long history of these boxed formats.

We're talking protected mode. The segment register would be an index into a table of segments of memory and the segments would be implemented in your RAM, and all of them would be accessible "at once" modulo the fact that there were only a few segment registers. The DOS extender could hack DOS so that you could in some fashion call DOS through "INT 21h" and it would do something (emulation, call through glue code into real mode etc). The call might require a transition into and out of real mode, which would not be cheap. Sometimes the only way to call DOS was to use "low" memory that was directly accessible from real mode, and you'd need to use special routines instead of malloc/free to manage that memory. You'd still have to call DOS through a hack but the memory arguments of the call would not need to be rearranged within the extender.

These are known as 'pro-rata' rights, which entitle earlier stage investors to participate in later rounds in order to maintain their stake in the company. These are relatively well-established rights that you will likely find in most VC term sheets.

Pro-rata rights are, to some extent, a reward for the risk that the investors take in investing in a very early stage startup. They also ensure that early-stage investors remain invested in your company; without a pro-rata right, the absolute gain of your company exiting at $100M vs $500M is much lower for the investor with a small stake. In a similar vein, the protections protect the investor from being diluted out of any significant stake in your company.
I'd expect an experimental library to possibly be filled with bugs and constantly evolve (in a breaking way) its API while having a "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK" message. Although that might not be how the namespace golang.org/x/ is defined.

Socialism is a little vague and people disagree on what it means- but in broad strokes terms, it means redistributing power from the center towards the edges of society. Democracy does that: every person gets one vote, no matter how wealthy they are. Public education does that: knowledge is no longer concentrated on the hands of people who can afford to pay to send their kids to school. Voting rights for women, labor laws, public health care- all these things redistribute power from the center to the edges. The problem with power is that the more you have, the more you can get- so in the absence of corrective forces, which conservatives of course want to remove, any society will follow the path through oligarchy to de facto monarchy. We are possibly on that path now.

The responsibility to determine whether the state has a reasonable chance at winning a trial prior to requesting an arrest warrant falls squarely on the shoulders of prosecutors. Because the stigma and expense of even a failed prosecution like this one is so extreme to the defendant, there need to be consequences for prosecutors when they proceed with cases where the statute of limitations has clearly expired or other obvious problems barring a successful prosecution exist.

Unfortunately, prosecutors cannot be put in jail for being utter failures at their jobs, and successfully suing them is nearly impossible, so these people got away with seriously damaging someone's life and career for nothing. It happens everyday throughout the US at both the state and federal levels. Sadly, until laws are changed to allow jail time for willful prosecutorial misconduct, it will keep happening.
