Given a choice between surviving and building something new, anyone would choose surviving. The red tape in India even now is atrocious. Recent raids on sales tax enforcers turned up corruption money in truckloads.
I think in the case of brexit, not only were the general public the wrong audience for the question, their opinion was also informed primarily by the UK press; therefore the answer to the question was actually the opinion of the majority of the press - which is just formulated to sell papers.
Could it just be time? Since VS Community was released, there's no huge blocker for someone to develop for .NET (other than Windows itself).

This is why our legal system comes to the sane conclusion that a person who gets "upset with John Deere" for that reason has no legal standing because they bought it used. That's the incentive to buy the warranty.

Sorry for Off-Topic posts above. I just want a simple way to do meditation and can't wait to build a cabin. Same purpose, different approach I think.
That's incorrect. The AGPL is considered Free Software by the FSF even though it clearly limits use of the software.

If you want to know why they support a license that violates freedom zero you will have to ask them but to me it suggests that the foundation of Free Software is fundamentally flawed in a world of networked software: i.e. the four freedoms are not compatible. My right to exercise freedoms 1, 2, and 3 limits your freedom to exercise freedom zero. Currently software authors have to pick one side of that argument either by using AGPL (restricts freedom 0) or GPL (doesn't protect freedoms 1, 2, or 3).
And if you try to modify your own car, they disable it remotely and send a herd of lawyers at you.

They're just as bad as John Deere at this.
I read a lot in various media, but I'm still ignorant how.

The vagus nerve has been mentioned; does that shuttle nutrients around, or what?

How exactly do these micros take digested chyme and make this incredibly efficient alcohol->waste reactor?
...apart from the ability to start a limited liability company with as little as 1€ in capital requirement, various tax exemptions and financial aid/sponsorship programs for start-ups and small companies in general?

This is tinted from my German point of view, but most of these programs have European equivalents or are available to large parts of the European population regardless of whether they live in Germany or not.
I noticed that lein-ring with autoreload is magnitudes slower. We now turn it off for microservices not being worked on.

Anyway, I have read a lot about those problems and I hope it gets better at some point - especially for Docker on Windows, which is a pain in the neck for our developers (who now work with a Linux VM running Docker; ...)
The downvote without any whatsoever explanation is just the confirmation that nowadays the different languages/technologies are picked up mainly because of fanboysm/cargo cult rather than because they are useful for a very specific problem.
It's easier to pickup whatever other people are choosing for themselves in the same way as it's easier just to press the downvote button without any explanation.
Honestly this social side (upvote/downvote) leaves me quite sad thinking about the endless discussion that were triggered once upon a time and that nowadays are just becoming a war of upvotes/downvotes.
No, leaving their brand on it confers that you thought well enough of the company to pay for their product, and nothing more. Consumers have no obligation to protect any company's reputation.
Our Machines Now Have Knowledge We'll Never Understand
It baffles me that they didn't launch that internationally - it's not like they need to buy some special licences, they already show all the same content everywhere. And all the specials are being produced after the launch, so they can demand whatever licenses they choose. And there's very clearly demand. They have google music available in a lot of countries, and that seems a lot harder to pull off.
"Lesson two: don’t ask people to make decisions they are not qualified to make."

He's implying that certain questions (such as whether or not the UK should be a member of the EU) should be left to the political and economic experts.

What if the political and economic experts disagree with the majority, not just because of their political and economic knowledge, but because they are a very limited demographic and don't even consider many of the things that are important to the people who are not experts in those fields?

Considering what he wrote, I would say we need more referendums, not less. So that people can become familiar with their votes having an observable impact on their lives. At the moment, people feel powerless, so when they're given a vote, they're more likely to use it in anger. Give them more decision making power, not less.
The user obviously should be able to switch the language, for example in the header.

But you have to display the site in some language on the first visit. Or do you want to show three big flags and nothing else? The internet would get annoying very quickly.
Seeing a list like this and realizing just how much for-pay software is built right on top of all these OSS projects makes it seem a bit farcical, especially in light of the discussion being about copy right; the products being contented under the guise of copy right to protect the business' profit are themselves just facades^ on top of open and free software.

It's really hard to accept programs like Cisco's licensing for the hardware when the software that makes it run is just built right on top of open software. Yes, it's been modified to work better and I'm not saying they don't have a right to use it and resell it after modification, but it feels very weird to know that it was built with free and open software.

The fact that so much of modern tech seems to be just rebranding already open source programs strikes me as a bit silly. The innovation at play seems to be the marketing rather than the actual technology being sold.

^Take facade in its denotation here, not connotations.
It's a comparison between apples and oranges. If he is creating a language he is at least 10x guy and they are in high demand and don't have to bother about the things 1x devs have to worry about like... getting a job or getting financial stability. The problem is always with 1x guys taking jobs of another 1x guys from another nation.
I completely forgot about Red's existence. One of the problems with not launching internationally on day one.
There are still huge profit opportunities behind Open Source software; ironically, the same openness that helps small startups to avoid high licensing costs of proprietary software also helped big corporations to reshape their product line, profiting from community work, offering certifications and support which in the end turned in more money. This IMO is why Linux and *BSD are alive and well today virtually killing almost every other proprietary Unix around. It's not Linux health that concerns me but what the Linux Foundation wants to do with it in the future. Call me paranoid but I don't trust them.

So you get a safe refactor feature for free. So you don't get afraid of refactoring. So you do refactor. So you get used to that exercise. And eventually you refactor in your head before typing.

Plus you get types hints for free, and safe auto completion too.
The Global Risks Landscape 2017
Reminds me a little of the movie "the internship". That's a good story.
It's the other way around - when people do not know how to change the UI language, it will usually be localized according to whatever country they're in. It's people who specifically do not want to have it localized, who find out how to switch it to English (or deliberately request English OS when buying, or install one themselves).

The reason why power users generally prefer English is because many terms are poorly or awkwardly translated (and some of those translations are historical, and are not going to change now); because English is often shorter, making the UI more compact / neater; because it's easier to find instructions, error messages etc on Google; or because they're developers, and they work in English most of the time anyway, and don't want the unnecessary overhead of dealing with two languages on the screen (I assume there are other fields in which English similarly dominates, but this is the one that I know from personal experience).
The root of all eval
It's true that these institutes haven't started something revolutionary, but there has been considerable amount of work in the right direction. I think there are multiple possible reasons behind it: 1) Most of the undergraduate students from these institutes either go study abroad or take up a job; which leaves only a fraction of the top students in these institutes. 2) Students who come for MS in these institutes have to clear GATE exam and most of them, according to what I have seen, join these institutes just for getting a good job and not for serious research.

Disclaimer: I work at one of the top institutes you mentioned.
Just use whatever their OS locale is. We have a mechanism to communicate that from the browser to the website (which, so far as I know, browsers actually use). And if a person prefers a specific language according to their locale setting, chances are good that they'll also prefer that same language for websites, more often than not. If it's not the preferred choice, at the very least you know that they can read it, and find the language selector.
we switched to a docker environment and the benefits are immense, starting from bootstrap to boot time. Docker-compose makes it easy to pull 3rd party deps that just work, instead of configuring them in one VM. Of course docker has it's downsides, but maybe vagrant could incorporate docker and start moving away from the one-VM principle?
I've used language packs for my mother's Surface, and I didn't find any UI that it did not translate, ever since Win7.
Sketch, Keynote, Paw

I'm a developer, but I also talk at community groups and conferences. I know there are alternatives (Inkscape, Impress, Postman) but they're all missing one or more features I use frequently, or are just not as polished.

That being said I'll probably make the change to Linux for my many development machine at some point and keep an Air or something lightweight as a conference/presentation machine.
It's pretty frustrating to read about older tech going to waste, instead of trying to find a new home. I imagine that there's a lot of people that'd be perfectly fine with slightly older tech, especially when the alternative is nothing.

A few years back I had an online friend working at a tech recycling center, he offered to send me a slightly used laptop he'd picked up (I think it was a Thinkpad T40p?), only requesting that I pay for shipping. Even if it was a few years "outdated" by then, after installing Ubuntu it was more than enough to get me through a few years of college.

He also sent a couple smartphones, which I gave away to friends and family who were in tight spots. And even managed to get me another laptop for an underclassman whose previous laptop died out and wasn't able to afford fixing or replacing it at the time.

Heck, I sometimes like getting access to older tech devices too, just because it lets me try out new things. For example, among the smartphones I received there was an HTC HD2, which I believe has been one of the most hackable smartphones ever.
And it rules out those pesky commenters that care about things like privacy and avoiding the centralization of open source development and shoveling everything into 'the cloud'.
True, but I rarely notice. You can set buildpkg to keep the binary packages around for new deployments if necessary. It's not LFS:)
> On the other hand, asking a large number of people to make a YES/NO decision on something they scarcely comprehend is like having a hundred school children who have just finished dissecting a frog collectively decide the best way to handle a triple bypass operation. That is to say, when the question requires expertise to answer, widening the circle reduces the collective wisdom of the group. This is one element of what I call the Stupidity of Crowds.

If you want to change people's opinions, a good start would be to stop calling people who disagree with you stupid.

If you go and look at which areas of the United Kingdom voted "leave" the most strongly, it's the coastal fishing ports. I'd assume that the fishermen know very much more than the average remainer does about what effect the European Union has had on their industry, and yet in page after page of post-referendum discussions by remainers I have yet to see a single remainer even acknowledge these people's existence, let alone suggest why remaining in the EU would be better for the fishermen than leaving it.

Edit: removed the word "remoaner".
What? I'm talking about a bad generalization made about mining, not coal pollution.
We probably don't need more referendums, but a constitutional change like Scottish independence or leaving the European Union does warrant a referendum.
What time-scale do you envisage for actual hardware?
No it's not, otherwise that would be massive news. The only way it's cheaper is through charging coal for externalities, which is the exact point I'm making.
You're paranoid.
I stand corrected and reminded.
I'm a little torn about that one. It's honestly not a bad idea, but I see how it negatively impacts people ability to repair their own cars.

In Europe it's not uncommon for BMW, Mercedes and other luxury cars to find their way to Romania and other eastern European country after they been in an accident. These cars aren't repaired in western Europe because they've been damage so badly that they would be unsafe, even after repairs. It was even the reason for massive thefts of airbags in northern Europe. The airbags would be sold in Romania to the people who where repairing the damaged cars.

My point is that the reactivation by an authorised garage helps ensure that dangerous cars are driving around in less regulated / poorer countries.
Not sure what you mean by huge, but our partners frequently upload 100+ MB files in various XML, IATA and EDI formats. We also use an FTP client locally to read the file back. We don't trust the file system state when it is being controlled by a server.

I'm guessing that the FTP server does the job of not showing half-finished files, since I've never heard of a half-finished file being read back from an FTP server in 15 years. I may have to validate this assumption, though.
So what features does the new filesystem bring?
I hope you guys keep it on life support for a little while longer. Dying or not, it has a nice distinctive sound to it.

>usually, people point out that a decent UBI could probably be covered solely from dropping all other forms of welfare and simplification of bureaucracy that follows.

Not even close, not even the right order of magnitude. Current welfare only applies to a tiny percent of the population (low income), and it's not even the UBI amount. Once you give it to everyone (you know... "universal"), the costs absolutely explode.
Although after you do it a few times, it asks if you want to permanently disable translation for that language.
perhaps it's the same set of tools but up to date.

Maybe some of these are already implemented and we mostly need to get the devs to use them more frequently?

Keep in mind that in many cases, translation isn't done because the market demands it, but rather because either the country laws, or government regulations for software sold to the public sector do.
Yeah, RISC is good...
> until they dont implement "choose youre country" on setup of any browser there will not be a replacement for GEOIP

There's "choose your country" on setup of your OS, and your browser is perfectly capable of picking that setting up and communicating it to the browser - there's a standard protocol for that.
It was a reference to Hackers (1995).

This is one of the problems with monopolies, or maybe the bigger one. Once you are dominant in one business, search/mobile/messaging, you can take over other business without much effort.

They are not news companies, they are not in the news business, they don't know it, and they have not done anything to be worth the trust of the public. They are just convenient because they are a monopoly in another area.
* The Boaty McBoatface is /r/iamverysmart territory. It was lighthearted and brought interest from across the world - not everything has to be named after a Greek tragedy.

* As for Brexit. Well, the public in general was unaware of the benefits of being in EU to begin with. Ultimately it was the 'experts' - the people in charge of conveying information - who failed. Not democracy. Democracy is by no means perfect, the metrics for who are qualified to vote hasn't been set.

* The language barrier. For some reason I really doubt that's true. What polls are in questions? I can't find any sources in the article. 4% deviation is completely normal if the question was asked from same people a year later.

Crowdsourcing is amazing, as long as your target group is set properly. This entire article is regurgitating intro into statistics. I do agree with the consensus part. The very problem was relevant in assessing difficulty of 'stories' in software development. When devs were asked to just number the difficulty, people lost sense of responsibility and would normally vote for extremes (very easy or very hard). Hence, the people who chose lowest and highest had to explain why they chose that specific number.
The site wouldn't have to remember. It would get an Accept-Language header in every request, and should just use that.

While it is true that my PhD experience at UC Santa Barbara was crucial to my network of collaborators and work on Julia, there are several contributors to Julia from India who have not gone for graduate studies abroad. There are many contributions from undergraduates as well. I am just glad that Julia is a living breathing open source project with significant contributions and work from around the world, including India.

I don't think that IITs or IISc or institutions are deciding factors. I feel that people who do interesting stuff (not just in software, but in all aspects of life) do it despite their backgrounds, conditions, and other labels. Of course there is poverty, and lack of basic education for millions of people, but there are also millions of people in India, and the rest of the world, who have the skill to do very interesting things.
I guess the difficulty is not technical but, again copyright related. There's no sane "available by default" policy applied worldwide.

This is sick.

> workers are not required to provide a doctor’s note until after the third day they stay home with an illness.

There are ways for employers to require on the first day if abuse is suspected. Amazon should stick to established employment practices than to come up with contractual innovations that undermine the spirit of the law. The risk that a worker is becoming sick belongs firmly in the realm of the employer and not of co-workers. Shifting that is abuse of power.
The recruiter was an in-house employee. This was her only job.

And the company is not your average IT sweatshop (big very sucessful company, names starts with an A).
> It's actually a sleeper hit [1][2].

That's not the impression I get from reading both articles. Some publishers like Mic seem to be still in a honeymoon phase with Apple News, but there's a lot of criticism similar to Instant Articles. "Being committed to" and "spending a lot of time" doesn't equal to a financial success for publishers.
That doesn't seem to keep people from using the assumption in practice though - which leads to lot of "for a perfectly spherical cow" moments...

To counter the op.

My family has been in the rental business for more than 30 years. I have 2 of my own. We never had any issues like the op mentions. A couple late payments and 2 evictions from lack of payment and that is it since I remember (I only started helping around 15 years ago, can't say what happened before).

Just really choose your tenants carefully. Better to have someone you know will take care of the house and get 400 a month then someone that can pay 500 but shows a lot of warning signs they will trash it. And if you are even remotely handy, a lot of the small fixes can be done by yourself in a matter of hours.
This is great, we all should support this.

The web is at a crossroad and we should promote multiple platforms, old-style blogs, decentralized navigation, classic journalism, etc.

For too many people, Facebook is the web and this is really sad and wrong.
