The ISPs bear none of the expense of "buying more IP transit". The end services (i.e. Netflix) do. That's always how the transit business has worked in the US -- the sender pays (this is how AWS works, and not by coincidence -- traffic within the AWS network is free in most cases, but leaving the network you pay).

If you want to not pay, well, that's fine I guess. But nobody is going to take your traffic. And it's been this way since like 1990.

Edit: I'll note that it works differently in other places such as Europe because the telecoms are subsidized and partially owned by the government. That's not going to happen in the US, and there are a lot of entrenched interests and political power supporting this business model.
It's worse than you may think. They generally will not have standing to sue the government for violating their customers rights. Only the customers would have standing to sue

That wasn't what I was expecting. Google, Facebook, etc are already walking a very fine line with what happens with their users' data, I imagine they don't want to press the issue too much but I wouldn't be surprised for this to be a reality in coming years.
I am on the other side of that table, in a different industry ,and in a different country with a different cultural context, but my 2¢: Can you identify any women, non-binary, people of color, etc who are in a position of power within the company, like a (co-)founder? I find that to be a big factor. Not that straight white guys are inherently creating toxic work environments but it's surprising how easy it is to not consider other perspectives on every day decisions.
Doesn't ffmpeg have a reputation for bad code merge practices? I've heard libav[1], a fork of ffmpeg has much better focus on code quality. Note that ffmpeg frequently merges any new code from libav. So ffmpeg is almost a superset of the both.

For anyone wondering why this is, here is a good explanation.[2]

I understand where you're coming from entirely, but I think that if you approach your search with the same approach that came across in your post, you're never going to find anything that'll make you happy.

Other people might accuse you of having an attitude, but to me it looks like a combination of frustration and exasperation. If you're looking to not experience something, you're not focused on the experience you want and you might find yourself stuck in the same loop wherever you go.

Instead of looking for the culture you don't want, consider the things that would be indicative of a culture you want to be part of and look for that. It may not be in CA. In fact, what you're looking for might be somewhere as far afield as New Zealand or Germany.

If you can identify even a few things that you would definitely want to see that would indicate a culture you'd like to be a part of (e.g. presence of other women, people of colour, non-binary etc, relaxed environment, team rather than individual performance focus etc.) then you may find that will help you find places that have that culture.
You don't need to block Google Analytics to make it more private. You just need to make the user appear to a new user to every site.

So Google may lose data because then they can't track you all over the web, but the websites don't because they still see you as one user.

This appears to be revisionist history. Jobs saw phone interfaces via stylus, noted they sucked, concluded that interacting with a handheld device with a stylus sucks on principal.

I've been using Solidity for a bit. I wouldn't say it is my favorite language, it's a bit too javascripty for my personal preference, and its genuinely hard not to introduce subtle security flaws into the code. As a smart contract language it leaves a lot to be desired. That being said, it is really the only game in town on Ethereum right now. The other language implementations on the EVM are in various states of disuse. If you are interested in smart contracts on Ethereum you have to learn Solidity unless you want to reinvent the wheel with your own language implementation.

What makes it worse is that the Romans knew lead was toxic. But they thought its effect was limited to the production process, which was mostly done by slaves and other people of no apparent value.
I'm not doubting whether ISRO will reach the weight range or not. It is how quickly they can reach in par with falcon 9.

As the payload doubles from 4000KG to 8000KG (to be in par with Falcon 9 ), You need to add more fuel and which increases the cost and total weightage of the rocket.

This additional weightage on the rocket will hamper the margins.

I'm not saying anything negative here and they have lot of work cut out for them because of re-usability of Falcon 9.

Overall, this is very good for us as competition drives the cost down and more and more services at lower cost.

Good positive start.
Brilliant. There's a lot going on in those three frames.

You're joking right? Factory reset your iPhone sometime and note all of the prompts to share and access your data.

Roughly, BPG [1] is for HEVC as what WebP is for VP8 or VP9, in the sense that you take an I-frame out of a video format and stuff it into an established, classic image container.

Compared to this, HEIF is a different way of packaging HEVC frames; namely into ISOBMFF (MPEG-4 Part 12), the most basic level of MPEG container. This comes with benefits [2] that come along with using that particular container, but also drawbacks, because with some of the advanced features of HEIF you're essentially describing a sequence of frames -- which is almost like video -- but you're doing it in a way incompatible with the way you'd describe video. I'd be curious if the two "representations" are losslessly convertible, for example.

No mention because nothing has changed - 16Gb is still the limit on MBPs :-( I heard a whimper about courage...
While the basic idea of using HVEC for still image compression is good, I'm somewhat concerned on how complex the whole format, especially the container, for HEIF is. It is kinda cute and from one viewpoint pragmatic to reuse existing container format, but I'm afraid the flexibility might have unforeseen and undesirable side-effects. And of course there is the problem of different implementations supporting different subsets and extensions of the format.

Does Analytics do some tracking by default? Or only if you enable the advanced demographics options, which enable DoubleClick?
Simple way would be tainting any JS/DOM data that interacts with the font metrics API (or one of a number of other similar APIs) and then not allowing tainted data to be used as parameters in network requests.
Yeah, and that's the whole point of it. There's too many applications of AR for Apple to build alone.

Free beer is an attractor only to completely stupid people. Stupid, on multiple fronts. Firstly, even if you like beer, it's bad for your health to have daily, unfettered access to it. Secondly, it's cheap. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together puts an objective dollar value on these sorts of free perks. A beer is worth so many dollars; how many a week of them could you reasonably enjoy? You'd be stupid to be paid $5K per year less to have two or three free beers a week, and even stupider to quaff 50 free beers a week to try to make up the difference. Thirdly, don't some people drive to and from work? Or on errands in the middle of the day? What about the liability, good grief? What a terrible idea from a legal standpoint.

If people are drinking on the job, that is going to affect social interaction, in the same way that it affects social interaction at parties and in clubs. It will make people less socially inhibited, which means that tiny dickheads that normally have decent self-control will behave like big dickheads.
Did anyone notice any mention of Apple's new File system in iOS 11 for the iPad Pro ? I stepped out of the keynote for 5 mins and probably missed the announcement. Apple homepage isn't updated with the new model details yet.
Yeah, let me know if you have a crystal ball that will detect that.
There's a huge difference between being asked if it's ok to share your data and just sharing it by default. Additionally, Apple doesn't offer any kind of way for anyone but you to decrypt your data.
Optimism? It's pretty obvious that Apple is going to start cannibalizing their laptops. I personally already use my ipad pro as a laptop. The file thing is neat, for sure, and I'll use it definitely (zip files, in particular) but it's not that huge for me. I'm mostly cloud based and I already have a file manager app.
What would it block? The JS file? Analytics only sets a cookie on the site using it, not one that works across sites.
I'm going to hold out for High Sierra Plus.
Going to my IE right now to activate it, I have to say this is a janky solution. It opens the Add-ons window, where you can see you have no Tracking Protection Lists. Then you can click to browse the add-on gallery for them, and then you have to scroll down and pick a list from a set of options.

While this is flexible, open, and that's all good, the lack of a common sense default and a multi-step setup process is probably why like... even I am not using this right now.

If Apple does this by default, it's gonna make a huge dent in Google Analytics' numbers, whereas probably almost nobody uses the feature in IE.

There's a weird mentality in America (assuming that's where you are located) that average is bad.

Average is just average. There's no reason you need to be a multi-millionaire with 6 houses, 12 cars, and endless spending cash.

I also think that there should be more emphasis on separating personal/professional ambition from how much you earn. When people talk about career goals, they usually only mean "money making goals".

There's nothing wrong with working just enough to survive and finding satisfaction outside of spending money on crap you don't need. There's nothing "lazy" about making a living (even if its bare minimum to pay the essential bills).

What's the point in working 80 hour weeks for a set number of years, spending money excessively, and having a heart attack by age 50 from being over worked? Personally I'd rather be dead broke and happy then over worked and stressed about un-important crap.

That's not to say you shouldn't work hard towards your goals, they should just be defined out side of "make more money so I can impress my friends with a new car"
It is interesting to watch two companies converging on to the same product space, I suggested to Panos that my choice between updating an iPad or getting a new Surface would be whether or not they include LTE connectivity in the Surface.

You need to interview the company just as they interview you. Ask some questions like what kind of development processes they follow, how they organize themselves and what kind of offsite activities they have. You can tell a lot from the answers about the culture in general. For example do they respect employee's time and do they show good team collaboration and cohesion or are they a 'hero/special snowflake culture'.

If you don't like the answers, then it might not be a good fit for you.

The Power Benchmarking Game (2016)
> Men of HN

No, that's not fair. The commenters you're referring to exist, and so do many others.

Edit: There's a pattern on HN, and maybe other internet communities as well, where the first comments to appear on a topic (especially one on which people are divided and have strong feelings) tend to be angry, reflexive ones by people who are quickly triggered and respond from pre-existing judgments. That doesn't mean they're representative of the community. Just the opposite: the majority of the community is more thoughtful than that, and thoughtful responses take longer to come up with. (It took me 30x longer to write this paragraph than the first one.)

As a thread continues, more thoughtful responses typically emerge. Such comments take longer to read and consider, too. These eventually get upvoted. The process takes time, and you can see it clearly in the current thread.

Sure: using a participation trophy to teach what success feels like (e.g. when you're 3 years old in a gymnastics performance for the first time in front of an audience full of strange parents) has more defensible merits. Using it as an attempt to dispel unpleasant emotions and thereby assault or hamper development of well-adjusted task metacognition is something else entirely.
It's completely the wrong way to handle this. To me, this "currency" is dead. There is no trust, other than if the creators lose more money on a venture, they'll "convince" the community to reverse it. I remember reading and playing around with it when it came out. It was raw, bare, and frankly awesome. The base tenant was that:

"The Contract is the Code, and the Code is the Contract."

It was a programmers no-man's land where anyone could stake a claim, and start doing cool stuff. And if you screwed up, it was your fault. Nobody else's. And you had to watch out, because it was easy to lose money into nothingness (yeah, BTC had checksums, Eth didnt - another point of amateur hour).

Until the DAO.

When that happened, I think $150m of Eth went into it. Massive amounts. The idea was to have a distributed living self-autonomous company. And, by the older ideals, lots of someones didn't do their homework. Or they did and it was intentional. Regardless, the "completely innocent magnanimous leaders of Ethereum" decided to force a Blockchain split, and rewind it all. Of course, Something like 2/3's of the total amount was owned by Ethdevs. Surprised? Nope.

Bitcoin? Sure, I'll play. But Ethereum has proved that if you are in the special class of people (Creators with loads of money lost), you don't matter. Nor do the ideas of what they were supposedly founded with.
Clair v2.0: the container security scanner, now with Alpine Linux
I am a woman of color and to be honest I totally lucked into it.

From the perspective that I work for a large, old company:

* Get a sense of how the company embraces (or doesn't embrace) flexible work arrangements. Can an employee leave early to run errands or pick up kids and make up the hours that night or on a different day without having to jump through hoops and/or get looked at like they have two heads?

My theory is that, in having a mindset that can accommodate different working arrangements, this can extend to accommodating different kinds of people. I'm suggesting that an employee might be less likely to be ostracized as 'other' at a place like that.

* Do they have the resources to encourage your growth by supporting you taking classes, going to conferences, buying you books, etc?

My theory here is that this supports a belief that people are capable of growing and improving, which is at conflict with the belief of anyone not being "technical" enough or somesuch.

If you want to be around fewer ego-inflated tech bros I recommend a place where the leadership is not comprised of ego-inflated tech bros. This combined with what I mention above probably eliminates most startups right off the bat... anyway thank you for listening to my theories
> This would help white guys, too

I thought about answering this too, but then I thought that there are factors that don't affect us, and this is what the OP is specifically asking about.

I think the questions you suggest beg for people to lie, especially hiring managers; I'd ask something more subtle like "how competitive the team is"... "How do you deal with bugs that made it to production" which begs asshole managers to brag about team toxicity...

good analysis, but i think you're missing the fact that the upper stage has a hydrolox engine, which destroys the falcon 9 stage 2 in terms of Isp (wikipedia gives 443 s). i wouldn't be surprised if it can carry more to geo-1500 than the f9.

edit: well the same wikipedia cites 4000kg to GTO so my guess is wrong.

Are we? I'm not seeing that. It may happen, but this iteration isn't it.

I'm really happy with every OSX product I've purchased. On the iOS side, there's a long way to go before I can bring only my iPad instead of my Macbook. I don't really want to carry both. If the iPad Pro can replace my laptop for the bulk of my work day, I'll be right there with you buying one. I'm just not sold on that as Apple's vision.
Woman in high pressure tech here.

First, the most important person is your direct manager. Ask recruiters specifically "did I meet with the person I'd be reporting to? If not I would like to meet them." This is the most key person, and if they are not your ally, no matter what the rest of the company thinks, you are sunk.

Ask about other women at the company, or if the team has had women but they've left. If they think that question is stupid, that is one of the biggest red flags.

Of course, try to get a good vibe from everyone you talk to, and if they like you as a candidate, they are likely to be willing to spend extra social time after extending an offer, such as a lunch with the team or something like that.

In the end, I'm sad to report that because good people leave faster, that most likely if you have a great manager that respects you, it's likely if you stay more than a couple years that they might be replaced. You may or may not have a say in that, and they may not be supportive. Always be on the watch.
Do they even try to break Safari at those pwn2own events?
