Typically it would be called dead-code elimination. The creator of rollup who popularized the term tree-shaking disagrees that they are the same, but his argument is not super compelling (not that it really matters either way).

It is possible that we are on the same page, but from your choice of language, I feel you are still subtly missing my point. You talk about "accommodating women more" in order to "balance a culture that's traditionally male-dominated." My point is that we also need to accommodate men more to balance that culture. Again, just for example, if I want to be an equal partner in raising my child (and I like to think I am), I need the same sort of considerations that a woman in my position does. In other words, it is not just about breaking women out of their traditional roles; we need to break men out of their traditional roles as well. I suppose that you can call these ideas "women friendly," but to me, that is putting the focus unfairly on women, when it should really be about accommodating both genders to help them meet in the middle, so to speak.
So work for a company in expensive places, and live in a cheaper college town. You get the human contact, good food&bars, and it's not going to take your 50% income to live there. The median home price is $267,000 in Eugene, OR and $1,189,100 in SF.

37% home value per year @ $100k vs 8% for SF.
Yes you can call the person an attacker. The rules of a mature Ethereum protocol should be neutral to the intentions of users, including those that one would reasonably characterize as hackers, but Ethereum was not a mature protocol at the time. It was effectively in early-stage beta. The DAO was the first smart contract of its kind, and was expecting $500,000 worth of ETH to be deposited in it. Instead $150 million worth was deposited.

I believe that a fork like the DAO rescue would be perceived as totally unjustified and impractical today, and Ethereum is still a very young and experimental project. I think in a few years, when the network and technology are mature, such an application-rescue HF would be unthinkable.

Liberals are also constantly trying to kill it because we'd prefer to have socioeconomically diverse neighborhoods, rather than "stick the poors in a crappier building somewhere else where the luxury tenants don't have to see them."

The preferred alternative is to allocate some percentage of units in the new building to low-income tenants.

Of course, some "progressives" want this percentage to be high enough to make development totally nonviable.
Please give me one period in Indian history where the full subcontinent was ruled by the same power.

Edit: For what it's worth, the contrast with China is probably flawed. I know very little about Chinese history, but I stand by the rest.
That's delusional. When a criminal reaches for a gun, or aims it at a person, or even tackles an armed cop, cops absolutely have the right and the obligation to shoot. And when BLM lies about criminals in the act of threatening cops, they endanger both cops and the very communities which they pretend to save.
Or why can't this problem be solved with HTTP caching headers and a browser that Does the Right Thing?

The property taxes take precedence over loan collections, so no one will give you a HELOC when you have a bunch of back taxes.
Lots of bandwidth is generally only necessary for CDN. And that could be anyone.
Starbucks Japan doesn't give you points for using their card, right? It just holds value like a Suica?

I'd rather stick to using Suica on my iPhone because… you can refill it with an American credit card… and no matter what you spend it on, the refill counts as travel spending!
Trying to force a teenaged boy to read books intended to be from the perspective of a pre-teen girl, written by a middle-aged woman, was predictably a disaster. Too many layers of indirection there.

I suspect this is going to be a bigger problem in the future (for society in general) as more and more people have lengthly digital trails.
I don't think this is true at all. Human social behavior is incredibly sensitive to perceived norms and paths of least resistance; this can be observed all the time in online games where minor changes to UI or reward structures have drastic ramifications on player social behavior. A lot of interaction simply will never come about if it isn't fostered organically by the environment.

This isn't to dispute that the benefits of an open office plan are fairly minuscule​ compared to the costs for most people, myself included.
The receiver for NFC payments needs more electric power than the transmitter, because for a credit card it actually powers the other side. I think. Someone from Square told me this at a party once.

Fundamental methodological error: It compares provisioned capacity (colo & Google Fiber) to utilization.

In order for this comparison to be valid you'd need to get 100% utilization of your colo or Google Fiber pipe. You only pay for what you use with AWS et al. And quite obviously the pricing of GF and Amazon Lightsail assumes less than 100%. Nobody's getting "screwed".

Now I have a dilemma: I'm forced to retire my SP2 and the SP5 is any day going to be debited unless I cancel.

This hiatus looks like just how I'm going to be reviewing the new HP Spectre tablet instead. I was seriously intrigued, especially by the 3000 * 2000 display. I guess I will find out soon enough. Something tells me that I have room for disappointment plenty here, tho'...
People with wealth don't have more leisure time because from my experience all their time is spent working to ensure their wealth doesn't dissipate. Furthermore, once you reach a level a certain level of wealth then you want more power.

If the government didn't make them pay taxes it would be basically writing giant checks to home owners who own expensive houses, don't pay their tax bills, and rack up large amounts of medical bills. And the government would pay those people with money from renters, tax payers, and the insured.
I'd just assume there was some kind of weird document embedding thing going on.

If you know the basics of OLE[1] you'd be aware that running another application is the entire concept behind how it all works --- and in this context, the warning message isn't all that bad: note that it says "Remote data not accessible", suggesting it's not the data in the CSV itself. Furthermore, the final sentence asks whether to start CMD.EXE, which should hopefully surprise you enough into clicking No.

Having this be open on GitHub is really cool. People should be aware that the [Journal Open Research Software](http://openresearchsoftware.metajnl.com) also exists, but it's not nearly as open or flashy.
Their business customers probably really do care. Companies run off of AWS and GCP. I'm sure that spotify and Snapchat and Netflix get considerable value from those guarantees.
It has a mass of roughly 10^27 kg (per the article, it is very comparable to Jupiter in mass).

Using a loss of 10 million (or 10^7) kg per second , we can calculate that the planet is losing 10^7 / 10^27 percent of its mass per second:

10^7 / 10^27 = 10^(-20) % = 0.00000 00000 00000 00001 % of its mass per second

If we change the time interval to one year, then we simply multiply the number of seconds in year (32 million, roughly), which moves the leading digit 7 places to the left.

The resulting answer is that the planet is losing 3*10^-13 %, or 0.00000 00000 003 %, of its mass per year =)
It's not as if using AWS etc eliminates the need for a good sysadmin...
I'm almost surely​being inadvertently obtuse, but how in the heck is it legal to restrict my use of the service I pay for. Is there a case law reference easily pointed out?
That's a good point, and according to the board game Monopoly, you're totally right. In the above post I complained that housing costs don't reflect the quality of the housing itself. Land speculation is probably a huge part of that, if not the dominant contributor.

But my whole point is about "rentier capitalism", and it applies whether you're talking about land, houses or SaaS.

In a free market, of course there's gonna be ebbs and flows as people and industry come and go, but look at this chart: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2016/08/daily-c...

Those huge, correlated roller coaster curves aren't based off of natural fluctuations in land values in all those different places. They're based on a kind of big distributed Monopoly game where a bunch of people frustratedly flipped the board over in 2008. Now we're going in for another round.

Meanwhile, the north pole is melting, and there's tons of work to be done in retrofitting houses for climate change, in switching to new kinds of fuel, planting gardens sustainable agriculture, fixing broken stuff. What are people doing instead? A lot of people spend much of their time doing dog eat dog capitalism. Chasing rent checks and debt repayments. Doing the 9-5 grind. Driving 40 miles a day to work jobs they don't believe in. Not everyone of course, but too many people!

We really need to shed this feudalistic way of doing things, and that's going to take people evolving how we participate in markets, what's considered "smart" or "dumb".

I believe you mean "tablets are tablets..." otherwise the comparison between tables and computers is a bit odd. ;-)
Open the camera app and at the bottom click AR... an overlay appears with options like..

- Daylight View (if currently nighttime)

- and other AR apps devs or Apple creates.
Actually it's the other way around.

Under jobs, Apple has vision clarity, iOS was going to be primarily consumptive, and MacOS was production. The two were not to meet.

MSFT on the other hand had grown too many OSes to deal with capably, an example being that xbox, windows, windows CE all had their own implementation of TCP (iirc).

So MS decides to fix their architecture, unifying and ordering all implementations. It's a huge under taking.

Apple without jobs is meandering towards the same ideas. But iOS is not designed for these use cases. The iPad Pro and Mac OS will not converge. The best that the iPad Pro will become is a power android variant.

Microsoft will keep making surface and surface like devices, which will be not face that limitation.

If anything, Apple will have to imitate the entire Microsoft style, and include a touch screen on the mac, along with stylus support.

Their product vision is lost without jobs.
Its fanbase grew older. And started working actual jobs and now see the importance of Microsoft and not just the toys they leave back at home.

But couldn't that inefficiency be optimized away in the implementation? (Load imports lazily).
Yeah I get that. The problem is that you can't exchange one for the other: no amount of non-privacy would have prevented this attack. This has been proven over and over again, even all the way back to the 17th century. But even this attack alone proves it. They were known to police expressing the exact creed they carried out.
If Apple invested its $250 billion into procuring a nuke, do you think they would be unable to do so? Would you be comfortable if they did?

It's an interesting question, all right. I'd ultimately have to throw up my hands and classify it as one of the ever-growing threats to human existence over which I have no control. Frankly I'd be more comfortable with Tim Cook's finger on the big red button than Donald Trump's or Mike Pence's.

I could totally see Woz building a nuke in his garage, just to see if he could do it...

People are not meant to work in factories. They're meant to own parts of factories and other productive enterprises. Ethereum reduces the barriers to entry to becoming a stakeholder in value created by enterprises. The cost to exchange a token is 1000X less than the cost to exchange a security. This is an orders of magnitude reduction in barriers to entry and expansion of liquidity. It means the economy can grow in all directions and become more inclusive in its ownership structure.

We're still very early days, but this is what distributed smart contracts make possible. The second and third order consequences of this will be enormous.
I'd assume the minor spaghettification caused by extreme tidal forces us also a factor in its super low density.
What, exactly, do you expect companies to do besides providing a job? What would be your proposal?

My proposal would be for companies to use their lobbying muscle to try pass legislation that would put a stop to the systemic racial discrimination embodied in the current legal immigration laws. It is no longer called "XYZ Exclusion Act of NNN" but that is what it boils down to, in practice. See Microsoft's stance I linked to in the comment you replied to originally. More of the same is what I expect from Valley companies who benefit immensely from the labor of immigrants.

Instead these companies choose to use their influence to speak for allowing more refugees into the country, protecting illegal immigrants etc. This comes out as hollow to me. If these companies really cared for immigration issues, there are issues much closer to home.

It needn't be this or that. But, the fact that organizations like FWD.us etc are completely silent about legal immigration issues makes one wonder about their true intentions.
Have you ever actually used a phone or video conference? Laggy, artifact-laden, unintelligible, half-duplex (pretending to be full-duplex but you can't actually speak simultaneously and hear each other), incredibly awkward and slow compared to actually being in a room with someone.

Landlines could solve some of those problems, but how often are all parties going to have landlines?

Some of the most important information I've picked up at work has been from overhearing keywords and jumping into a conversation across the room, chatting with coworkers at lunch, etc.

I could do something that resembles my software engineering job if I only worked on the tickets as written and the Zoom meetings as scheduled, but not nearly as well.
With $0.5MM shipments going out wouldn't it be wise to bury some satellite trackers in the containers?
But you have to remember that for that every home owner whose quality of life diminishes there are 100's of renters whose quality of life increases because they can live in a neighborhood they wouldn't have previously been able to afford.
Their new A8-powered speaker ain't gonna change anything. In 10 years from now, this is how WWDC will look like:

- a new born, 6 months old who published an app

- "better, bigger, stronger than never before"

- iOS 45, we just introduced drag & drop lol

- a brand new app called "files"! You can now manage files! It's amazing!

- iPad Pro++ with a screen 2 times bigger than the Pro+ from last year

- iWatch, we added nothing because the screen is so damn small... who cares??

- We doubled our macbook memory capacity from 128 to 256!

- Now at $1299 instead of $1499

Looking at companies like Tesla, IBM, Nvidia, etc. What a boring event... Nothing but consumable crap.

No amount of loss of privacy will stop terrorism. They're not substitutable.
I was a part-time college instructor and agree. Some of the smarter students IMO were the homeless, poor, and others who paid little to nothing. I taught a homeless ex-Stanford professor who was well known in the community and he was very sharp. The rest were mostly under no illusions about what they were there to do: Get a degree or certificate and move along. It doesn't take much critical thinking to recognize a stepping stone like college for its most practical applications: Degree printer and networking system.

I made many good friends of students who were critical thinkers. I also saw really sharp critical thinkers get absolutely torpedoed by life events and poor decisionmaking; these were often the 4.0 high school students who thought they could cruise. It was sad to have to demolish their record.

I wish I could read TFA, as I wonder how my experience squares with the point of the article.
>I was in the irc room during that time. It was the number batted around by ethdevs in freenode #ethereum.

Let me guess, you don't have the logs. "I was in the irc room at the time" yeah okay that's credible. This is just hearsay FUD.
Ummm . . . I think you misunderstand the meaning of "sabbatical." It doesn't mean vacation. It means freedom from teaching and administrative duties to give you time to go to another institution, learn new things, and work on interesting problems. This is exactly the sort of thing that I expect an academic on sabbatical to be doing.
Yes I know that it's property tax. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I thought I had it covered by FMV appraisal.

It all depends on your situation and appetite for risk. Young, single and no kids, I'd do it and save as much as possible. $120k would go a long way in Nevada, maybe you could save/invest half of your salary. Maybe rent at first and see how it goes before buying (I assume you are renting now in New York). If it doesn't work out with the company short term you can always go back to New York with your savings.
Hell, I learned to shoot at age six, and got my first Daisy air rifle not long after. Can't say as it did me or anyone else any harm, except for the one time I bounced a ricochet off the bridge of my nose and had a welt for a couple of days - I've never so much as aimed a firearm at another human being, and that includes the air gun wars which were the occasional recreation of the more reckless among my cohort.

On the other hand, nine might've been too young to take my first deer; I've never had any particular desire to hunt since then, although if it were that or starve, I suppose I'd do the former - not that it'd be hard around here, where whitetail are abundant and have no fear of humans. It did teach me a great deal, though I might rather have learned it a few years later than when I did; on the other hand, I doubt I'd have been able to. In any case, while I certainly still eat venison when the opportunity presents, on the whole I'm still much happier to shoot deer with a camera than a rifle.

I never really noticed much one way or the other about video game guns. Seems like a lot of stew from one oyster, but I don't suppose anyone should take the word of a Mississippi Borderer brat for much of anything.
> Nobody cares about host uptime, that just means you're not applying security updates.

Um... Only kernel updates used to require a reboot, and production security-critical ones are fairly rare.

Solutions like ksplice, kexec, kpatch, or kgraft have existed since about 2011, and now the Linux kernel has first-class support for "no reboot" updates.
I'm yet to see any long term review on YouTube that explains the way anyone who finds the SP a terrible experience has so much difficulty. I'm genuine in my interest as it's a leap of faith even though I have been a committed happy SP2 user a long while now. I'm not sure either why if the device is so counterproductive for a individual, why did they not sell or their employer finally relent and provide alternative since the productivity cost would be considerable. The only other common features of such comments, is the similar grass is greener conclusion. This isn't consistent with a actual concerted effort to address a problem, the first impression I get anyhow.
Focused and creative work benefit heavily from isolated environments where it is easier to focus. It is less tiring to work in quiet environments without distractions.
Yes, but online games are a collective. Consider the case of open spaces where you have one team per aisle. Team 1 can be as noisy as they wish - there is no penalty most of the time from the unrelated Team 2. I was in such a predicament at a large e-commerce company - I was seated the aisle over from a very noisy team that ran in debug mode. They and their manager thought this was the way a good team works so my complaints were discarded with extreme prejudice. Two aisles over was a relatively quiet team with a very loud chewer/scraper - the person was very careful with his food and spent 5 minutes every work day scraping his plastic container right there at the desk.

I used to have to listen to white noise just to get away from the drip-drip torture of the endless prattle - my productivity at home used to be 5x compared to working in this open Hades.

I guess you are right - a lot of interaction will never come about if it isn't fostered organically by the environment. I am saying that in my case, what was fostered organically by the environment was people that first speak what they are about to type before typing it and utter every exclamation point associated with a failed `ls` or etc. It was Hades. I have ringing in my ears from listening to loud music and noise to drown out this aural rubbish and I can assure you that this ringing is a quintillion orders of magnitude more pleasant than the cacophony foisted on to me by the fine co-workers at this establishment, courtesy of the cage free office plan. I left as soon as I could and while I miss the money/benefits, I don't miss the noise - not one little bit.
I went to Boston University for undergrad. When I went, tuition and board were 46k, which I thought was absurd. Fast forward a decade and it's 70k. At this rate, in less than 10 years it will be 100k per year. How does any of this make sense?!?!?!?
They haven't done anything interesting in 18 or 24 months. They spurned their die-hard audience with the last MacBook pro. Without their massive pile of cash, I'd be worried that my mutual funds are so deep into Apple.
