By the same reasoning that the federal government can regulate crop production even if the specific product isn't sold between states (Wickard v. Filburn). I'm sure the same argument could be crafted that intrastate flights affect interstate flight prices, surely this is how the argument would be framed.

I don't know what it's going to take to break the 2-party system in the US, but people continuing to vote for "the other" candidate just because they hate "the one" certainly isn't going to influence change. I've been voting Libertarian in (almost) every race I can, for at least 15 years now, and I'll keep "wasting" my vote to send the signal that I want more parties in the system. (As in, I want to see BOTH Jill Stein and Gary Johnson at a podium in the debates, and given equal time.) I'm willing to "waste" my vote in order to tell BOTH the D's AND the R's that they do not represent my desires for governance.
Not Chrome, because it is so tightly integrated with the system. But you can change to Bing or use Word Online instead of Google Docs.

You can't install apps from outside Google Play (for Chromebooks that can run Android apps) or Chrome Web Store. But you can unlock it (developer mode) and get basically a Gentoo with a custom display server and desktop environment.

The admins can lock your options down and apply a lot of surveillance too.
A C++ header file is full of garbage^W implementation details and not-C++ users want a stable API definition - that's what .clif file is about. It's an interface declaration for a native user.
Yeah there's a "Press Kit" link in the footer which should definitely be more obvious because it gives a lot more info than the front page.

You can split it into a router and a wireless access point. Run pfsense or lede on the router, and use any commercial access point (ubiquiti seems to be a good bang for the buck).
No, they haven't forgotten. They know full well that there's absolutely zero possibility of them getting in trouble with the DOJ under Sessions, no matter what they do.
Good question indeed, main reason for me was the incredible well toolset in the node.js world around Vector Tile based map data and GIS processing. Check out the list of used libraries in the repo and you might understand ;)
Good question. I have the feeling most don't even have problem/solution fit and get money...

Did you guys write your own debit/credit card processor?
Wow. The key this made for me is so much nicer than my old key. I see what they mean about the high-quality entropy. Those crazy Germans do everything better. It seems like SSH runs much faster with the optimized keys, and with such good entropy nobody will ever guess my key.

Please get the key exchange functionality working soon, so I can trade in all of my old homemade keys for new ones.

One thing, though - I noticed the new key isn't very compressible, it would be cool if you could tweak the entropy generator so that the new keys could be compressed with ZIP or whatever so they don't take up as much space on disk as the old ones - or maybe there's a way you could make the keys smaller. With really random entropy it seems like you could probably use smaller keys and the security would be the same.
They said normalized for rank (aka promotion level), not experience, which one might reasonably expect to also be influenced by bias. The study that showed a bias normalized for FB experience.

If Sheryl Sandberg personally says she looked into this and agrees that the study is mistaken and there is no statistically significant bias, that would definitely impact by assessment. I agree that she is great.
The fossil plants are either needed for reliability purposes, i.e. spinning reserve, voltage support, or they are online because it is more economical for them to stay online. It is often better for the plants to stay online at minimum generation than shut down and endure a restart time of several hours.
I guess it could go as a gambling/game type business since mostly those types of businesses uses credits?
Weather in SF and LA is likable, but Seattle and Portland are dreadfully rain soaked and socked in clouds for 9 months of the year. You don't move to the latter two locations for the weather, you move there because they are considered trendy and "cool" in modern culture and you're a trend seeker. The same "cool" designation could be slapped onto Cleveland or Milwaukie or Ann Arbor and you'd have the same trend seekers piling into there too.
It's way worse if you were European. Did you know that the first OFFICIAL release of Chrono Trigger in Europe was the 2009 DS remake?
There hasn't been a professional sports stadium built, ever, without an "independent report" that said building a large concrete mausoleum employing mostly minimum wage workers for only part of the year, and with rich employees and owners that spirit most of their earnings out of state, wasn't the greatest economic benefit ever for their city.
Yeah, cause they're doing so much with it now /s
If all they really cared about was security, they would allow other reputable stores (e.g. Steam) to be installed by the person administering the machines. If they had allowed be to setup a "store" on a Windows Server for our custom software required by grants and the government for various things then I would have ordered quite a few Windows 10 S machines in place of some of our normal orders.

I'm glad that we only raised a small amount and that subsequent amounts to raise capital failed.

This is because we were eventually acquired, which turned out to be a decent outcome for us and our investors. Had we raised more capital, the price would have been higher and the probability of it actually happening would have been lower.
The psychology behind product design: Q&A with Nathalie Nahai
The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and it looks like whoever's taking them has some seriously expensive glass. I'm guessing that someone in charge wanted the photos to "pop" and the contrast got boosted just slightly too much. In my opinion it doesn't ruin the photos, and it's only really visible in a handful of them.
I never understood Lego kits... The whole point of a construction set is to be able to build many different things, possibly unimagined to the producer. But the Legos are usually limited to one or two predefined models.
We're not talking about ice cream. And yes, the proper solution is to have government require that all data is treated equally. Because, despite your attempts at dodging, there are places in this country where competition just is not viable, as those places are not profitable. And removing regulations WILL NOT CHANGE THAT. Those people deserve a neutral net too.
That information is so bad for such an easy question, I can only wonder if google is more interested in using their userbase as a training ground than actually providing a useful service.
Developers definitely won't buy a MacBook walled by App Store. All the Unix utilities would be gone, as would be the usefulness of a MacBook.
Talk to your manager about it. There's always a lot of options for dealing with this kind of problem, but when you are unmotivated and maybe feeling down, these options aren't apparent, which makes the situation seem hopeless.

- take a break from day to day development to do some strategic research: for example, a new technology that could be helpful to the company, etc.

- switch teams, or take on a different role within your team

- be on the lookout for anything, even something very small, that does motivate you; and figure out how to do more of that. you can't control what motivates you, but you can recognize when it is (and isn't) happening, and adjust.

Some things that have worked for me personally in the past:

- Going through a book like SICP, 7 languages in 7 weeks, etc.

- Organizing a hackday for my department.

- Since I am motivated by making things more efficient, taking a week to focus on better test automation and feeling the reward of making my colleagues' lives a bit better.
"I wonder if they will push some politic agenda or if they will manage to stay neutral."

Nah. They will be neutral. But facebook is stupid. They should let somebody else pay for it. Like Facebook Germany uses money donated by Soros to make sure everything is in line with the outstanding current German government.

That's amazing. Nearly every fact presented there is completely wrong.

Plus, the picture is a standing liberty quarter that is nearly 90 years old and pretty much completely out of general circulation.
Well, Trump's economic policies are much worse, significantly worse, and climate change is not 'mostly about politics'. This is why we ended up with a reality TV star as leader of the free world. You just sat down at a computer and wrote multiple things that are easily proven false, proving complete ignorance of those subjects, but you chose to type them out anyway. And no one will be able to explain to you why that was a bad idea. You'll just get angry as I or anyone else points it out.
And just like that, they doubled the marketshare of Bing from 0.0003% to 0.0006%.

As an extension to customizing your bank account. It'd be nice to be able to pull funds from cryptocoin accounts or make calls to smart contracts, etc. I'm thinking this could be the IFTTT of bank accounts, so I want to see as many connections as possible.
I hear what you're saying, but from a slightly different angle. I wonder if the profit motive creates a conflict of interest the same way that corporate news tends towards bias to satisfy advertisers.

I am thinking of exiting Facebook for at least a couple of months because my posts/shares (which tend to have a political slant or at least broader perspective to them) don't seem to get any reaction or be shared anymore. Neither do music, alternative culture, or sustainability/environmental posts.

If Facebook is unable to give people the dignity to fail at debating one another and be challenged by new ideas, then that may not be compatible with democracy. I hope they fix whatever is going on with their feed algorithm, and maybe 3000 people training AIs will help, but I wonder if the problem isn't technology.
All of their actions should be transparent and a forum exist for people to discuss those actions and specific moderators (they can and should likely have a pseudonym associated with their actions); a little more difficult for moderation that aren't published as public.
Highlight.is
yeah, drugs. Fastest solution to all problems.

But my actual solution is basically putting my mindset in a zero position (i don't even work for this company) and imagine what I would love to do right now. Then figure out if this company can provide this activity. In my case what I want to do are startups and learning about the different aspects of a company so while I'm a developer i actually go out and sell our product. at least try to. or do some marketing. or team mangement.
Makes me think of some semi-dystopian world like The Giver.
Fascinating. This is really nice for REPL environments. I'm not sure I would use it in production.
If we pretend Windows 10 S doesn't exist and the machines cost $50 more - it's a sweet direction.

Windows S / Windows Store, Android and ChromeOS / Google Play Store, iOS / App Store - those are comparisons.. and honestly, I don't care about either of those. Maybe Android.

I've learned from WP and its store and platform's and store's extreme failure not to trust Microsoft to do it right anytime soon. Windows Store was (is still?) littered with crap. I also don't trust Microsoft on market delivery considering I got in touch with their online chat support and asked where I can buy Surface Studio in EU. Answer was that they don't sell it in Europe. Nice. Thanks and bye. Kind of like with Razer. My money is off the table for you guys.
That's the point though. Everyone has their own somewhat unique requirements.

A traditional bank can't cater to every persons individual needs/wants.

It would be nice to have somewhere these scripts are discoverable so you can use/tweak other users ideas.
I'll probably get ridiculed for saying, but i just don't think Legos look very much like Legos anymore. They don't have that blocky Lego shape/look.

This is a beautiful model. Looks like a model though and not a Lego set.
> Why would I want to do all this myself?

My bank doesn't have this, so that's one reason.

Another would be that a third-party could write the code that performs the analysis, you should be able to just download (or purchase, I suppose) their script and use it, so you don't have to do it yourself anyway. This also means it becomes possible to have competition within this space, right now, you can only ever use your bank's analysis tools, if they're great, fine whatever good for you. But for some people it'll have limitations one way or another. Competition is not a bad thing.

Besides, it can be fun to look at your financial data with your programming tools. It's an interesting data set to play around with, analysis, data visualization, budgeting, even if just for learning.
I really like this point. It's easy to say that "Slack solves the problem of centralized team communication" or "eBay and Etsy help everyday people collect money off their trinkets, crafts, or useless old clothes". But bigger inventions don't solve a small, narrowly-defined problem: they totally change the game. You can't sum up the impact of the automobile, antiseptic or the internet in a sentence, because these inventions caused a cascade of other inventions that solve other problems.

Cars weren't released out of the blue by a well-funded startup as a half-baked MVP, they were built off of advances in industrial metallurgy, the invention of the engine, engineering used in trains and boats. Similarly, the internet didn't just happen - people first figured out electrical engineering, circuit boards, GUI's, COBOL and C++ and a myriad of other languages that made it possible to invent the internet.

I'm not saying that this online bank thingie is on that level yet. But for me, these kind of inventions are indicative of the death of institutional finance. The first step in destroying global finance as an institution is to whittle away at where the banks can make profit. Apps like Robin Hood have already helped to decentralize knowledge and participation in the stock market. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have shown at least a proof of concept that you don't need central banks to have currency. Money transfer apps like TransferWise eliminate currency conversion profiteering. Now what happens when you make a front-end that can wire all of these ideas together? A cashless society? Maybe.
I haven't had motivation to work... ever? I work only because I have to. I work as little as possible. The last 13+ years of my life seem to show this plan is a pretty good one.
Are you saying that news of fake news is fake news?
How does this relate to the discussion?
Amazing what you can infer if you look at a small enough window of time.

Pretty clearly shows that the ACA came at the trailing end of the huge spike in bankruptcies from the real estate bubble bursting.

Correlation does not imply causation, however much one wants to sell a particular story. I expect better from consumer reports.
I think what is making people nervous would be something like this phrase from your privacy policy:

>We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) your Email Meta Data and IP address of your computer.

You make clear earlier that you will not sell or rent personally identifiable information:

>If you do provide personally identifiable information to us, either directly or through a reseller or other business partner, we will: not sell or rent it to a third party without your permission

But it is unclear what "email meta data" means and whether or not you will rent or sell anonymized data "that cannot be readily used to identify you". Other questions might include how long you store this information.

Wow, and that is exactly my point. For what is barely a down payment out west you could theoretically just buy a home outright.

Imagine the equivalent in the bay area or LA, it'd be $3 million+. Even in Seattle or Portland it'd be $700k-800k+ or likely higher given their trendy status.
I've noticed that in my neighborhood in Austin, most of the cyclists ride on the sidewalks. I've been thinking about getting a bicycle but this fact doesn't inspire confidence.
How does casual circiumstantial evidince, implying the same actor '100% certainty'? Sorry, there are way too many factual stumbles in this article, and it doesn't really tell us anything except some nicknames, assumptions, and official positions on the issue. This is wordy, and well sourced, but fails to acheive the ambition of the title.
An iPad with a keyboard[1] that allowed the current enterprise deployment of custom apps and developer side loading would be considered heavily for purchase. The only addition that would seal the deal would be allowing local iCloud servers.

1) Apple should have built an iBook after they built the Apple TV which broke the touch model.
As an author of the vector tile specification it is really exciting to see how many different things people can do with the format. People are using data in ways that constantly amaze myself and others. There is an ever growing number of tools that have been built around the format and the future seems bright. I really enjoyed your map, great job!
Our system stabilizes at two parties. Other parties aren't viable until/unless they hit a point where they can eat one existing party, or large parts of both. This happening will in short order kill one or both existing major parties, some brief chaos will ensue, and we'll end up with two parties again. Labeling does not cause this.

Fixing that would be great (most sensible solutions would probably also fix our massive gerrymandering problem at the same time) but is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Almost nothing on a factory floor requires a degree. The article went over in painstaking detail how Airbus trains it's workforce. Do you really think that someone who didn't go to college is untrainable?

Somehow college dropouts built the PC industry, and the internet economy, and we still worship a diploma that is almost only ever used as a point of entry to the job market, then discarded immediately.
You are wrong. The blurring is the case of applications not being aware of the higher DPI setting and still rendering as if they weren't scaled. That's why DPI-awareness is a part of the application manifest so people with 4k monitors don't get tiny windows. Instead the window manager scales the window to the size it should have. And bicubic scaling makes things soft.
But, when Apple does it, people like it, don't they?

Microsoft's just been trying to be Apple ever since the Zune.

Moving from Georgia to Washington I was surprised to see just how much racism was still alive and well in Washington. It might not be as widely talked about partially because there are so few non-white people to be racist towards relative to Georgia.

This stuck out to me the most in the white people being racist towards black people, in GA the white black split is 60.8 to 30.6, whereas in Washington it is 78.7 to 3.5.

Why Developers Are Choosing the Windows Store, and Why Windows 10 S Will Succeed
If Microsoft starts a me-too race to the bottom of a walled well of surveillance capitalism, they will squander their PC heritage and create a new market for commercially open operating systems.

It may take a decade or more, but if Microsoft sidelines Win32, the market will find an alternative. Hundreds of millions of Windows users will not be ignored and will not surrender commercial freedoms that Microsoft itself has proven technically possible.
There are important emails I never reply to, like Uptime robot notifications. I would still like to be notified.
Go and Java claimed they can do without C++, so let them suffer :)

Seems to me that keeping the labor cost reasonable isn't really that difficult. The only real problem is concealing the process well enough that it doesn't provoke outrage. Understand as you read what follows and the hairs on your neck stand up that this is --- after enough layers of BS are applied --- very close to what will evolve.

Just yesterday we read about how Facebook 'helps' marketers 'track when people were feeling overwhelmed, worthless or insecure' [1]. Focusing on people that exhibit this frequently, particularly if they're being bullied, would catch a bunch of these online suicide cases without squandering labor on everyone else.

Then all you need to do is invent enough euphemisms to enable a degree of profiling; the rape streams that go unreported for days are almost always gangbangers. Should be a trivial job to factor that group out, by their grammar alone.

There you go; the chronically depressed types and the gangbangers account for probably 95% of the headline making cases Facebook has to worry about. Focus a small workforce on those two groups (and possibly a few others; extremists, etc.) and Bob's your uncle.
