ugh. I have "Yearly pricing to the homepage" sitting in my to-do list for a few weeks :) so – there's yearly pricing (and it starts with 14.99 / year (I know, this looks really weird, but it took us some time to get to this pricing).

now, whether it's valuable enough to justify the price – depends a lot on how you use your email. we've got users managing 3-5 accounts with hundreds of thousands of emails each and they use our labeling/organization more than removal. think of it as of a way to act upon a group of emails no matter what the size of the group is.

(and I kinda think our website is not really good at communicating this – our traffic is mostly coming from android app right now and we've been putting website work off. who knew!).
> Why should cyber war be any different?

Because we aren't talking about bombs. We are talking about security.

We are concerned about "nuclear proliferation". Why aren't we concerned about the proliferation of these tools? It takes material to make nuclear weapons (obviously nuclear weapons are much more concerning, that isn't my point), but it only takes instructions to create and use security exploits. In this scenario, threats only have power for everyone who knows about them, and that is inherently dangerous. We should put all of our focus into getting rid of security exploits, not creating them.
THE OUTBREAK OF MENINGITIS IN NIGERIA
Of Course, look no farther than this forum, where 'hive' like groups gang up on any individual they choose and down vote them, which is just censorship by 'gang'.

The Karma notion was just an easy ALGO at the time, but we know the AI ( machine learning ) algo's will even be worse at selective control of the topic and sentiment.

All that exists today is 'intellectual ghettos' where like minded people can 'circle jerk' ( excuse the explicit truth ), anyone outside the 'circle' simply moves on to a 'ghetto' where he/she are accepted.

The problem of course is everyone becomes isolated, and then just gets their favorite 'ideal' repeated, and that my dear friends here is not the definition of an education.

An open mind, an open heart, and to consider everybody's idea, and you choose what to read or not read, but simply shadow banning or sliding somebody because of non political-correct position's is inane.
Or a stupid way to make your data available on the go.

> I think you can agree that you're probably going to get fired.

thesmallestcat claimed "that ex-Googlers cannot bad-mouth the company", and I claimed that no such clause exists in the standard contract of employment.

By the time you are an ex Googler, getting fired is unlikely to be an effective deterrent.

> Which is why the "personal views" of a current company employee of any organization posted publicly is close to useless.

Either you believe that the company is forcing me to write this (instead of just remaining silent), or your argument is not very logical.

I've done an experiment recently, inspired by the macstories.net guy (@viticci) who spent 1 year only using an iPad Pro. I have an iPad Air 1 (so, much slower than the 2017 iPads and iPad Pros). It has mainly been used as a test device in the past, and good for travel entertainment. I decided to try using my iPad for everything except coding, for the last few weeks.

The experience has been surprisingly great, but not perfect. Some brief thoughts:

* It takes a couple of days to get used to the iOS way of doing things. You need to adjust your expectations and embrace it, and then you'll be as productive as before, you just get there a slightly different way

* iOS forces you to focus on 1 app at a time, which is a good thing. Swipe in from the right for times where you need something open (an email while searching for something inside it for example)

* Apps are usually much better than their web equivalents, especially when you make use of their extensions (home widgets and "share" app extensions). I'm including the desktop web experience here - in a lot of cases the app on iPad is more productive.

* Outlook on iPad is a joy

* Same for Inbox (I'm a gmail guy outside of work)

* But the Evernote app isn't amazing. Still better than using the web interface, but I still prefer the desktop app.

* No issues surfing the web

* Copy/paste between macOS and iOS has made this experience much much better than it used to be

* Password manager is a must. Swipe it in from the right when you need a password for something

* Get an iPad stand

* Get a small keyboard for your iPad if you're writing a lot

* Notifications view (swipe from top) is exactly what you want after a couple of hours coding in do not disturb

* iPad Air 1 is only just fast enough for this, but it's slow enough to have me thinking about an upgrade
I used to work with someone who now works at Google. He was the sole lead for a project that he absolutely butchered the code before bailing out. I was left to clean up the mess which took many months and then continuing to finish the project to completion to the satisfaction of the end customer. I can certainly say he was not 10x programmer but perhaps he found some niche role there that he can contribute towards.

The point is that neither is an example of mass wiretapping, as Snowden's documents showed. What exactly do you think is targeting more than just specific accounts? Be specific.

If we take the upper bounds from the transparency reports from the Internet companies, we can estimate that the volume of data from PRISM is so small that you could fit it on a single rack, and the Utah datacenter has nothing to do with it.

You'll find that I'm a shill on the JFK assassination, chemtrails, mind control rays, and every other conspiracy theory that lacks evidence and has substantial evidence to the contrary.
> Most of these faculty members do not have the resources or the ability to publish in "real" journals

I definitely wouldn't use "Most" here. The vast majority of faculty will publish in respected journals. Unless you can cite a source for your claim?
return isn't syntax, it's a normal function of type Monad m => a -> m a. The "sniffing" that you are talking about is that overloading is done on the return type.

Why does it exist at all? Speaking loosely, monads are about composing functions that look like a -> m b. Here's regular composition alongside the 'monadic' one:

(.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> (a -> c)
(<=<) :: Monad m => (b -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> (a -> m c)

As you can see, the same except for the m wrapping each function's results. Just like normal function composition, there is an identity element - that's what return is. Again, a comparison:

id :: a -> a
return :: Monad m => a -> m a

Again, the same except for the m wrapping the result. Both composition operators are associative, and both have the same relationship with their identity operation:

id . f = f return <=< f = f
f . id = f f <=< return = f

(That's why there are monad laws, to ensure those properties hold.)

So return is very straightforward: it is the identity of functions that return monads. It's unfortunate that both the name and the presentation of monads in Haskell tend to obscure this.

The problem with these journals isn't that they accept low-quality papers. They're called that because they don't make an honest attempt at peer-review, and the publishing/editing fees are pocketed by the publishers.

IEEE Access is an example of a journal which charges a hefty "article processing fee" and publishes rather mediocre papers. But I wouldn't call them a predatory journal. They do get feedback from real researchers working in the field, they do reject fake and obviously-flawed papers, and they do not just use the publishing fees to enrich themselves. The journal in the OP did none of these things.
To be fair Unroll.me shows you ads in their emails to you so a user may think thats how they monetise and be ok with that. Its another thing altogether when the company sells all of your email data directly to buyers.
Just to clarify, as others have pointed out, the leadership principles at Amazon are in no way a new experiment. I don't know their origins but I wouldn't be surprised to learn they are nearly as old as the company itself (probably a few years younger).

They are deeply engrained in Amazon culture. They are brought up frequently. They are used as the basis for both hiring and promotion decisions.

Regardless of whether or not you (or employees) agree with them. I think what's interesting is that you call them out as too long to be useful. But my guess is +90% of salaried employees at Amazon could recite all of them and give examples of what they intend to convey. I suppose this is a testament to Amazon HR?
Sure thing...

There is no evidence that anything has changed.

Who is suggesting that the government should be uncontrolled? Iran with nukes is a far greater threat than the NSA with 0-days, which is what we're discussing.
In the abstract, performance may be unrelated to portability. But if tooling, drivers and expertise are all focused on DirectX, and if getting OpenGL to do everything DirectX can do requires using vendor-specific additions to the spec that are non-portable, then in practice, it may be harder to make OpenGL performant across multiple vendor's GPUs.

How Juicero's Story Set the Company Up for Humiliation
I don't think their chosen approach has resonated well with their users at all (emotionally or intellectually). People find it hilariously insincere and insulting.

It seems it would be better received if they were up-front in this instance.

They might as well tell their users, "This is how it is. Take it or leave it." Instead of trying to wrap that same message in a layer of false sincerity and lies.

my point exactly. I was just discussing this with a friend – there's really no way for us to prove that we don't keep or don't sell the data we get access to (aside from clearer tos/policies).

and it's even scarier with iCloud for example – they don't have oAuth and people need to enter their passwords to scan/clean. (they do have "app-specific" passwords though but looks like people have hard time figuring those out.)
I wonder if there's a way to build a bot net that takes down other bot nets. Basically, create a feedback loop such that the decreasing price of a bot net leads to some action that drives the price back up.

How could that be?

I stopped buying from Amazon after reading about how they treat their warehouse employees.

To me, Amazon just represents monopolistic corporate greed, with no aspiration of caring even just a little bit about anything else.
My apologies for that unclear statement. I meant that in this particular issue, I believe you are not being honest with yourself.

There are several problems with voting fatigue, but chief among them is that the actual effects of the result are divorced from the outcome. It usually takes months, if not years, for a practical change to propagate from election campaigns to reality. (In the off-chance that an election campaign promise is actually adhered to.)

So for most practical purposes a vote taking place has little resemblance to its practical results. We take the expectation of tight feedback loops as a given in UI design. If usability and results from user actions are not coupled, the user will get confused, irritated and eventually will just give up. Why would we expect voting to be any different?

It's not just the vote itself that is causing fatigue, it's also the insane mental overload of having to deal with and the need to make sense of the constant (mis)information deluge. For months on end, as a voter you are supposed to digest a barrage of incoming information. It is tiring.

And all this still boils down to the need to eventually set time aside go to a polling station to drop a piece of paper into a box, only to see that nothing really changes. Do this often enough and only the activists will be left. The silent majority can not be bothered to care enough.
Yes, that's quite possible, but it's also still the best indicator I'm aware of that you might be getting better quality
>> Documents indicate that PRISM is "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports"

PRISM isn't just some negligible thing to be brushed off. And of course it isn't the only thing they're doing over in Utah. It's one of many sources that all come together at places like this for data analysis. But it's the "big deal" everyone is talking about so it is very relevant to the discussion.

Remember, if there is one there is more. We don't need a comprehensive list of every data center and chokepoint that is under surveillance to understand how prevalent it is based on known data.

If you want to continue this discussion I ask that you play fairly and not revert to rhetoric and distraction.
Wow, that's a really long comment.

Stack is not open source, however, some libs are (though only non-window management related). You can find them at https://github.com/losttech/

There's really not many WinAPI to call. SetWindowHookEx for handling global mouse events (there's an open source lib I use actually). MoveWindow to (guess what?) move windows. The rest is mostly hand-made.

There is no JavaScript extensibility right now, but I could think about one for the future versions.

Basically, extensibility right now is limited to decorations in XAML. However, that will be significantly extended when some features I mentioned above will land.

What I also though about is an open source library of pre-made screen layouts.

> Why should companies in SF be penalized by the visa system just because they pay high salaries?

Well 100k in SF is not equal to exceptional talent. So for 100k, you'd bring engineers who don't fit your definition of "deserving to be here". While 100k in say Nashville, well that's definitly going to be someone exceptional if a Nashville company is willing to spend it on them.

So in SF, to infer that the candidate truly merits to be here, he needs to be expanssive to those companies, and 100k in SF is not.

If you want baseload power, you can choose between coal, nuclear and natural gas. Natural gas has estimates that range between 72 and 113, so depending on which you choose it might well be cheaper or more expensive than nuclear power. Natural gas has a number of advantages over coal, but unfortunately it is now thought to be almost as bad as coal in terms of effects on climate change - this is a very bad negative externality that isn't priced into the cost. Your original point was that "Nuclear costs are notoriously high" - instead they are projected to be roughly comparable to other forms of baseload power.

>..."not typically included in levelised cost of electricity assessments is the cost of decommissioning a reactor and disposing nuclear waste

Maybe in other countries, but not the US. Every nuclear power plant in the United States is required, by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as part of its licensing to set aside sufficient funds to decommission the plant when it reaches the end of its useful life.

>...(The USA is an exception, because the cost of decommissioning is included in the price of electricity, per the Nuclear Waste Policy Act),

Also there is a tax on electricity produced by nuclear power in the US to cover eventual long term waste disposal so it is priced into the cost - though ideally this high level waste will eventually be burned in a 4th gen reactor so the volume of waste will be a small fraction of what it would otherwise be.

That doesn't mean the consumer is better off. The consumer is missing out on better products. The economy is also worse off, because it is missing out on competition which would drive the prices down, and provide jobs.

I'm not talking about faculty members in any halfway reputable university. They obviously publish in reputable journals. I used the word "these" here refers to faculty members at the bottom of the academic ladder, many of whom are based in developing countries and are being forced to publish (often due to governmental initiatives.)

I don't want to pick a particular university or person to name and shame. But my suggestion would be to look at authors in the OP's journal and evaluate for yourself whether these authors are publishing in "respected" journals.

I am hoping to eventually cover that approach as well. As long as you stay with simple non-overlapping grids, it should be easy to implement.

However, i3 is quite functional, and Stack supports overlapping when necessary. So there're some UX compatibility problems to think about.

I'd be interested to know what functionality do you really use on a regular basis. Especially, it would be interesting to know _why_ do you use it. E.g. not just "I want to split my screen in half and put W1 to the left, and W2 to the right" but "I want to see all my open windows the most comfortable way possible".

For example: generally you don't just want a chat window constantly visible, you also don't usually need it to take half of 30 inch screen. So with an ideal app you should say, that it does not require more than 10cm width and 6cm height, and WM will figure out the rest.

>is not a free market

One of the things that fascinates and terrifies me most about American political discourse is this need to label things, and then have those labels divide people into polar opposites so they argue endlessly about the label, instead of the actual issue.

Really, who gives a s&%t what the hell you call the system you have now. It's completely meaningless. What really matters is you decide if it's good or not, and what to do about fixing it. THAT'S what really matters.

Americans have forgotten the point is to actually get around to improving things, they are so busy arguing about labels. "Single Payer" vs "Socialism", "Theocracy" vs. "Democracy", etc. etc.
