As another example of the author's premise, Snap spent 800m in R&D in order to make their app more addictive to 18-34.

I cannot see how their investments lead to higher societal productivity and thus more societal wealth. It seems more like a wealth transfer (of advertising dollars), and overall, a way to make society less productive (by wasting its time).

That's 0.005% on profits, but they remitted all the EU VAT taxes they collected, and paid all employee income taxes.

If as you say most of their corporate activity is in the US (where they paid over $10B in corporate taxes last year), why should they be double taxed in EU countries where they mostly only retail their products, and pay the associated VAT taxes and personnel income taxes.

You can search around for the specific numbers, but global iPhone smartphone market share has been stable around 12-15% for years now.
I really hope they fix GNOME on VirtualBox before the convergence. Currently, it will not run at all with 3D Acceleration.

It is why I have been using Unity, seeing as it works with 3D Acceleration flawlessly on VirtualBox.

Even though I'm a small government, pro-markets kind of guy, one point this article touched on which I find quite interesting is that so much of the good stuff on the Internet (TCP/IP, the WWW, NCSA Mosaic, the Linux kernel, the IRC protocol, etc.) was basically publicly funded--if not directly then it was usually a guy at a university somewhere.

Whereas the bad stuff (AOL, Internet Explorer, spam, the scammy digital ads industry, Orwellian Google, Orwellian Facebook, mandatory DRM) has generally come from the private sector. (And VC, dear Hacker News, bears its share of responsibility.)

My only takeaway from this, and it is admittedly milquetoast, is we should take a little more of that public money we spend on war and instead spend it on general science and technology research.

This is a quick intro if you want to learn more about the mentioned snap package format:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLxqdf89hRo

The article somewhat erroneously equates snaps and flatpaks. While flatpak focuses on GNOME, snaps are more broadly geared to any Linux software needing transactional updates (databases, Electron apps, docker/k8s, etc).
I predict a resurgence of interest in KDE.

... despite the numerous Plasma crashes lately.
The one big one for me is Super+number to jump to a window (super+3 to switch to the third window on the toolbar). Both Windows and Unity support this, but there's no way to get it on most other linux DEs (with Cinnamon there are plugins but they are really buggy). Not sure about gnome though.

To me YAML is the ideal human readable structured data representation format, at least for humans with sufficient visual acuity to pickup whitespaces. I've heard people hate it with a passion, but I could never get them to justify said hate except to say that it's "ugly", "unmanageable" or "primitive".

The majority should stick with what they have been running, even Unity which will be supported for many years as part of 16.04.

The 17.10, being the first version with Gnome Shell, will probably have rough edges for those that are used to Unity.

I never understood why Canonical's attempts to be "brave" (as Apple would call it) result in Canonical pulling out, while attempts by other companies like Apple don't.

For example, Canonical made a very brave decision to switch to Unity, and now they're having to move away from Unity, which hints that there were enough users against it, and they pushed Canonical into this position (along with Canonical trying to allocate resources better).

But Apple "killed skeuomorphism" and there were tons of people complaining "MY NOTES APP WHITE INSTEAD OF YELLOW EWWW" (especially my parents), yet today they're still getting more users and they have so many on recent versions of their OSes. I supported the removal of skeuomorphism, but seeing so many around me and on the internet complain, I thought Apple would be forced to put it back everywhere. Instead, people just moved on.

When Apple makes a "pro" laptop without any USB A ports, people laugh, but then buy it. When Ubuntu makes a phone, Ubuntu regrets it. Why?
I thought the same thing about that quote. What's fueling the opioid epidemic is a combination of cheap, easy-to-prescribe drugs, doctors who are unwilling to treat chronic pain cases with more diverse methods, and depression. Of course, there's the precipitating factors too: auto-accidents, sedentary lifestyles which make the body more vulnerable to chronic pain, and economic stagnation.

I mean they have contracts with Nasa and that Nasa have been very patient with SpaceX fulfilling their obligations.
Find some money to pay people. That's part of what leading a software business (or any business) entails. In a case where the developer has spent a year ignoring the project, it is also a way potential team members may guage commitment.

In places with minimum wage laws, not paying workers a regular wage is likely to be illegal. It creates a huge potential liability...which reminds me of another reason to find some money...to run basic business questions past an attorney and accountant.

OTOH, what is so interesting in simple face recognition, innit? That future became a past quite fast, meanwhile teh human rights never get old. (smile.jpg)
Yes, it works. Your latency will just be correspondingly higher (due to the speed of light). We are constantly testing a cross-region (i.e. US-East and US-West) cluster and have periodically run tests on cross-continent clusters (US to Asia-Pacific).

In these cases you can help the cluster out by following some of the advice on the "Recommended Production Settings" page (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/recommended-production-se...) around specifying which `--locality` each node is in.
Woah this is awesome, we just ran this and found that we have this[1] issue in our config. Thanks for this! I'm going to add it to our CI runs.

Edit: the add_header config option is quite confusing and I had absolutely no idea it behaved like that, I highly suggest trying this tool on your configs and seeing what it reports.

So you're talking about Tesla and earlier chips. Those are indeed only supported for the security fixes. The 34x.xx driver supports those chips, and they are indeed getting security updates.

I have personally fixed a couple of these issues[0], including for those "EOL'd" cards. The most recent posted drivers for these chips I'm seeing are 342.01 from 2016-12-14 for Windows and 340.102 from 2017-02-14 for Linux. That seems like it would check the "provide security fixes" box, no?

>has to support their hardware up to the moment they release open specifications for it.

I'd tend to agree, but as you can imagine this is quite a complex issue for us, so no comments here :)

It's cool, I suppose, but I don't think I would ever use it. If I need something more complicated than a basic ini, json or xml file, I think I'd reach for a scripting language I already have in my toolbox, like Python or Lua, or JavaScript, than learn Yet Another Configuration Language.
The former has very weak (if any) consent, is indiscriminate, easy to abuse, and creates unnecessary conflict (e.g. i really like those pants sold in that shop but I don't like to be tracked, ok i'll go in just this time...).

In A/B testing there is a clear context and purpose, and is normally negotiated between actual humans.

There might be middle grounds (A/B testing can be done online and use facial recognition and in relatively large scale) but for me it has to be opt-in (as in, you have to fill a form to join) not opt-out (as in, leave this webpage/shop if you don't want my tracking). This is more challenging to the organization proposing the tracking, because they need to provide some value in exchange so people actually sign up for that. But in the long term being founded on the principle of consensual mutually benefiting relationships can only be good for your organization/brand, right? As in: at last a company that treats people like humans!
But, aren't ecommerce sites collecting this information and more from your browsing? I don't think it's possible to say one is much better than the other, just that we expect tracking online, not in the real world.
I think the paradigm shift is that companies like Google are doing research (e.g. security and algorithms) at a quality level that only existed in academia. IBM has a long history on basic research but they are not capable to move those inventions to the real world except in press releases.
> The stock market's quarterly focus

This idea constantly resurfaces. It's easily shown to be incorrect. If it was true,

1. companies would have low P/E ratios

2. companies that "eat their seed corn" to sacrifice the long term for short term gain would see their stocks dump after quarterly results come it. This is not happening.

3. you could get rich by shorting those short term companies, making money off of the fools that bid up share prices for short term profits. This is not happening.

4. A successful stock investment strategy is buy and hold, hold, hold, hold.

It is unsafe to configure Nginx to use any DNS resolver other than 127.0.0.1 ("resolver x.x.x.x") because the transaction ID can be predictible, and Nginx fails to randomize the UDP source port. Gixy should check for that. Strangely the Nginx developers staunchly refuse to consider this a security flaw. See http://blog.zorinaq.com/nginx-resolver-vulns/

I hope as this projects gets popular, more people will be willing to help and improve it. It is a collaborative process after all.

Interesting, that's nowhere near the level of insurance (it's significantly higher) than what even non-cut-rate insurers will recommend for most drivers in the states.

A recent survey of over 500 audiologists showed that the most popular (~70%) form factor of hearing aids today is the receiver in the ear (RITE). RITE aids place the hearing aid body (battery, mic, processor, etc) behind the ear, and run a thin plastic coated wire down over the front of the ear leading to the earcanal. On the end of the wire is a speaker (or receiver) that produces sound. This is an interesting shift from the past, where most people wanted hearing aids that fitted entirely in their ear. As it turns out the RITE is more or less just as invisible, but avoids some of the comfort and occlusion (blockage) issues that the fully custom in the ear hearing aids create. Either way, people want discretion, but RITEs have accomplished discretion with better performance, leading to the growth in their popularity. https://www.hearingtracker.com/audiologist-survey

Webpack sponsors: Capital One ($12K), ag-Grid ($7.5K since March), Hubspot and Rollbar. Those are some great names, with Webpack offering some not that great logo placement and linkage.

The StdLib logo on http://vuejs.org/v2/api is $2k/month. It's probably under-priced, and entirely unnecessarily limited to a single sponsor.

For a comparison: it costs $2K+ to get a one-time ad entry into a weekly developer newsletter like JavaScript Weekly (http://javascriptweekly.com/). And JS Weekly has a much smaller audience than most prime open source project pages.
>Contrary to popular belief, entrepreneurs typically make terrible innovators. Left to its own devices, the private sector is far more likely to impede technological progress than to advance it. That’s because real innovation is very expensive to produce: it involves pouring extravagant sums of money into research projects that may fail, or at the very least may never yield a commercially viable product. In other words, it requires a lot of risk – something that, mythmaking aside, capitalist firms have little appetite for.

My key takeaway from the article.

When you research things, it's not like Sid Meier’s Civilization, you don't get a tech tree.
