It would likely be the safe thing to do? Are you going to drive to your house or workplace and park and see what they do?

Cross-functional feature teams are something entirely different.

Having a developer spend a day with the support team every so often is a great idea. Putting them within earshot just leads to the developers wearing headphones all day.

If you like your job, then see if you can work from home just 1 day a week. Start small.

I'm actually the "boss" where I work and I allow one of my employees to work wed and thurs from home.

So long as they do good work, I could care less where they are. So perhaps try telling your boss that you have thought of all the details like meetings, picking a quiet day when its not busy, or telling them that you will guarantee you will be reachable at all times. Sometimes managers that are old school need to be sold on how you will manage their worst fear - doing nothing at home.
I'm quite sure agencies like NSA want to keep Wordpress around for this. There will always be unpatched installations around and some they found that will not get disclosed.

Your story points out a thing that drives me nuts about these debates... Medicare, the "socialist" single payer system actually does a really good job at driving efficiency.
Thanks, that's great.
Not much time, eh? ;-)

Well, I see one obvious thing to cut without sacrificing your work or children, and that is the commute. Get yourself a gig that you can walk/bike in a short amount of time. Choose it well and you'll get exercise too.

Now, I know what you're thinking right now, I can't! Because of X, Y, and Z. Sure, understood in the short term. But, ask yourself where you want to be in a year or two?

If you start looking now, you can find a closer or remote job, or move home to be near a great job---over the medium term. Want to know how I know? Because, I've been doing it for twenty years. So when people say, "oh, I couldn't possibly" BS is called quickly. Good luck.

Sorry for asking the pessimistic question, by no means do i intend to be a troll, but don't you think that it is irresponsible bringing children in to a world where you can't even take the free evenings after working 8+ hours and giving your best? (because you need to "stay competitive or something"). The developer culture of living to work (instead of the other way around) and being totally cool about it is something that still surprises me. I understand that you like coding (me too), but not having time to do anything else (not even raise a kid, watching a movie, reading a book or just resting) appears to you as something completely normal. I simply don't get that ideology (i mean, is like a type of slavery where the slave's hobby is precisely and just what he/she does for work). I say it as someone studying computer engineering.

> [The lawsuit] asserts that by allowing Islamic State militants to spread propaganda freely on social media, the three companies provided "material support" to the group and enabled attacks such as the one in San Bernardino.

> A number of lawsuits have been filed in recent years seeking to hold social media companies responsible for terror attacks, but none has advanced beyond the preliminary phases.

Here's another recent example of this [0]. At first glance of the definition for material support [1], these lawsuits might seem (legally) reasonable. Luckily though, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act [2] makes these lawsuits fairly baseless. I can't imagine the consequences if social media providers were liable for all content posted on them... (Disclaimer: IANAL in the least)

I've contributed to VSCodeVim as well (remember way back when undoing a long insert would delete each character one at a time? I fixed that!) it's actually pretty approachable and nice to contribute to.
Good for you for sticking with it. I've started in that direction a few times, but it really is amazing just how necessary all those hacky distro-maintained build scripts and patches are. It's tempting to think that they're just tweaking things to fit their conventions and handling edge cases, but they're often just getting it to not explode by default.
On Campuses Far from China, Still Under Beijing’s Watchful Eye
There is room. No law can usurp things like freedom of speech. All sorts of apparently illegal acts find safe harbour if tied to free speach. A protest rally cannot be stopped simply be because the protestors are jaywalking or loitering on the sidewalk. Companies do have speech rights but they are very different. I can join a protest rally marching down mainstreet, but uber cannot hire people to do the same because the people violating the law are not enguaged in speech but in employment. So flesh persons can get away with acts that corporate "persons" cannot.

Good. It's high time. Misguided people are generally surrounded by misguided people. Therefore the like/retweet/view counters of their content over-amplifies whatever narrative is already in their heads. It's like watching a very badly trained neural network getting worse. They just don't have access to a good corrective mechanism.

I hold Facebook, Youtube and Twitter responsible for training a whole bunch of people to value their reactions over their ability to think.

Thank you for posting this.

Overall, I think that the good done by Uber around the world (primarily for consumer surplus, maybe not so much for drivers) totally dwarfs the various complaints I've heard about breaking local regulations. In practice, it takes an enormous amount of time and energy to roll back regulations in one jurisdiction (just look at the state of occupational licensing in various US states). In that environment, it takes someone with fairly thick skin to "just build the thing" and show consumers what they were missing. Personal failings aside, I think we owe Travis and the rest of Uber an enormous debt for showing us what's possible.
Wow, horrifying. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt for such a tradgedy and the emotional stress and grief it causes; but this is illogical, dangerous and counterproductive. Terrorism seeks to change our way of life and sueing a company for providing a platform for[0] free speech (which those companies actually already curtail) will not only cause problems to this already slippery slope, but simply displace terrorists to less visible places.

I hope this is not greed, because these companies are about as well funded as they are unconnected/innocent in this incident.

Also,
I am aware these platforms moderate, Facebook just committed to hiring 1400ish people to mod the site.

I'm baffled by this paper. They appear to be trying to generate music from broad musical gestures caught on video. They seem surprised that you can't train a network to synthesize good music from a statistical map of sounds and gestures.

This makes as much sense as using a video of the postures of a developer at work as a training set, combined with code output, and then wondering why this doesn't generate useful apps when fed by a live posture csm.

I don't exactly see what ITS brings to the table here, being a multi-stage rocket as anything else that puts stuff in GTO.

But anyhow yeah - the physics should favor them by practically an order of magnitude, but if they can ever survive to reap any percentage of that potential - they could just as likely just go bust at any further point in r&d, and they don't seem to have either much funding nor are they advancing particularly rapidly...
I have money for whatever reason. I pump it through a business of mine, paying taxes, etc. Normally this is totally fine - I'm not using it to commit fraud against investors, I'm paying taxes, etc. The important thing is that no one is being harmed, it's just me seeking some privacy in my own finances, and perhaps losing some money for the privilege (I may be spending post-tax money).

Or perhaps it's simpler than that. I have a bunch of money in geographic location A, and I want to spend it in B, so I put it in a suitcase and walk/fly/drive on over.

Now LE comes along and says, gee whiz, our jobs are really hard having to catch criminals doing criminal stuff. You know, let's make it illegal to use your money as you like, to have any sort of privacy in your transactions. Tada, now they can just go after people for moving money around.

The sad thing is, they've won. They've made "money laundering" sound like something serious, instead of totally made up to make their jobs easy, and people seem to support such laws.

Maybe they'll call encryption "data laundering", "bit smuggling", "safety obstruction" or something catchy to get people against it.
My point is that I don't think it's a huge volume of capital. The extra wasted capital here is the cost of running an HFT firm while you test your strategy (aka. see if your liquidity is valuable or not) -- if it's not profitable, it's not a huge loss (HFT firms, in the grand scheme of things, are relatively small) and the firm shuts down; if it's profitable, then clearly they're trading against non-HFTs that value their liquidity, so what's the issue here?
To this day I am still shocked Wal-Mart didn't (and still doesn't) run same day shipping of all of its items in store at prices that beat Amazon's.

Not only would this crush Amazon, but would simultaneously restore Walmart's reputation as the storefront itself could be more minimalist as more of its space would be used mainly for warehousing.

Seriously. Why aren't they doing this? Does it cost a few orders of magnitude higher than I'm thinking? Wal-Mart presumably has tabs on what its inventory at its own stores are (at least the website does). Wal-Mart, at its peak is pretty close to most people's houses. All they really need is a good operational workflow to reduce the amount of time wasted on inefficient deliveries.
NVIDIA has actually contributed some code to Nouveau to make sure that it will work with the Tegra platform (the graphics engine there, unlike on every x86 platform, isn't behind a PCI bus). Also, the display part of the Tegra SoCs is entirely different from what the desktop chips have and is controlled by an open source driver written by NVIDIA (tegradc).
Noone knows whether you're playing music or not, they'll assume you are. I don't think that's the stigma with headphones though more like gives off the impression you don't want to be bothered for things like helping new engineers.
Spirulina is far from a good health choice. It got popular because it contains a molecule that's similar to B12, but it turns out that it's not B12. But it does bind to B12 intrinsic factor, which is a problem because intrinsic factor production, not B12 consumption, is frequently the limiting factor in how much of the nutrient you can get into your system.

Or, to put it more succinctly - spirulina : B12 :: CO : O2.

And while I'm laying it on, probiotics isn't really all that impressive, either. Right now the food industry's approach to probiotics is, at best, comparable to the kind of thinking that caused to large swaths of the USA to have problems with kudzu and asian carp.
One critique, this "encryption" is just "seed pseudorandom RNG with a shared int, and then xor each byte with the next value from the RNG". Not exactly a high quality encryption method.

I think AIDS is the trickiest one. It's not genetic (except for the very few people who are congenitally immune). It can kill you if you don't live in a rich country. Many people who have it are gay, which is illegal in a lot of places. (Even in the US C&BP keeps messing with that canadian guy for having grindr on his phone). STDs in general can reveal you've been cheating on / lying to a partner.

If you asked me 'should we publicize AIDS status in a lightly anonymized form', I say no, of course not.

But if you ask me 'do we want public records about AIDS treatments', absolutely.

(AIDS may be a moot point because there's recent CRISPR research about 'excising' AIDS infection in live mice).

My point: I'd like to have both things but to solve problems at a continent-scale we need transparency about disease and treatment.

NeXT used Display PostScript, and I would create widgets by writing PostScript code.

Quartz is like QuickTime plus something like OpenGL shaders plus something like NeXTStep "display PDF". I have no idea if this encouraged PDF integration into the display model.

Rather, I would say that NeXT, and then Apple, had some great IP and cross-licensing of PostScript and PDF display tech, and so they could ship the OS distribution with PDF as the printing model.

That is, one reason Windows might today re-render PDF → XPS → PDF is that they had needed to create display tech like PDF anyway, and so they did, and this was after humans had been playing with HTML for a while... Silverlight was pretty.

How is money laundering a 'fake' crime?
A subpoena is one investigative tool. It is not the only investigative tool, and it's often not the best one.

If a law enforcement agency wants to catch child predators, it is entirely legitimate for them to make fake profiles of children and see who responds, and it's going to be a lot more productive than sending subpoenas to the creepiest-looking people in town saying "Are you a child predator Y/N".

If you believe that they are attempting to investigate you, and you intend to lead them on a wild goose chase, then it would be obstruction of justice. The word mincing that you're trying to do here is like trying to claim that murdering someone is just "moving some molecules around" and "moving molecules around isn't illegal."

If you put into action a plan that's intent is to mislead investigators that you believe are attempting to investigate you, then how do you claim that this can't be obstruction of justice? They are attempting to obstruct the investigation.

What you are doing to trying to evaluate the action separate from the intent, and claim that it's innocuous because there could be many explanations for the action.

Obviously at trial, the DoJ would be trying to prove intent, so trying to ignore it doesn't really make sense.
