It reminds me of the ridiculous excitement over iBeacons when Apple announced their proprietary NFC-like tech a few years ago. Virtually every iOS dev I know bought some cheap iBeacons thinking "wow this is so cool" and never ended up building anything useful. I wasn't immune either, as the abandoned iBeacon in my desk drawer attests to.

There's undoubtedly great use cases for NFC on phones (payments, travel passes, hotel room keys etc), but it's also a technology that often seems to attract developers solely because it seems 'cool', not because they have a problem that can be solved better with NFC than without it.

Also, are color LED printers included as color laser? (I would think so).

I've never heard anyone describe themselves as a reckless or unsafe driver. I'm sure majority of people before accidents say they're conservative drivers.

Maybe he's right, but... self-assessments of skills are rarely useful. Survival bias and all that.
They do, and they also have something Twitter typically does not, which is purchase intent. Lots of people go go Pinterest because they are looking for ideas on something to buy. If they can find it and purchase it all in one place, that makes Pinterest valuable from a direct response marketing standpoint.

Also, Pinterest's demographics are VERY desirable to marketers.

You implied that a minimum wage of $15 would eliminate fast food jobs. The numbers indicate that it won't.

>It will definitely destroy certain employment opportunities in certain circumstances.

Sure and a 0.1% sales tax will destroy certain employment opportunities in certain circumstances.

The key is to find a balance. I'd prefer a universal basic income or an increase in the EITC. But I think fighting for a $15 minimum wage that won't kick in until 2024 at the earliest, and will probably be negotiated down to $12, is better than what we have now.

$15 in 2024 will be about $12.50 in 2016 dollars based on projected inflation by the way.
Does this mean we get the day off?

Despite what others have said, there is still loose rock on El Capitan. That is always a concern.

The particular route Honnold climbed (Freerider) is hardly "cutting edge" (at 5.13-, it is roughly eight or nine grade levels below the absolute hardest rock climbs in the world), but the most difficult section (the "crux" in climbing jargon) is notoriously insecure, meaning that even skilled climbers find the movement difficult. Honnold himself spent time on the route on a rope learning this sequence (and others).
While there's a lot wrong with that, replacing it with the hysterical corporate politics of the U.S. wouldn't make for much of an improvement imo

IIRC, because the payment terminals have their own power source, previous iPhone generations lacked the induction coils necessary to support passive NFC tags. Presumably they were added to the iPhone 7?
That's pretty cool. Will you also make a native miner?
I'm confused about why people consistently think that this was a total secret, no matter how many waves of press coverage it gets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_steganography

There were press articles about it by 2004 (and I think some earlier), we had written the tool that Rob Graham used to decode these scans by 2005, and I gave a number of TV interviews about it during 2005. A small number of manufacturers (maybe worried about European data protection laws) also alluded to the existence of the technology in their user manuals. Some of the people from industry who contacted me also said that this was common knowledge to people in the printing industry since at least the turn of the millennium.
If everyone has SSH access to a server somewhere, it's easy to just put a git repo there to let everyone keep working.

Obviously, this doesn't trivially scale to many repos/users/etc, which is why Github exists in the first place.
And now the office goes to the keg.
Don't forget logged local wifi, bluetooth and NFC connection records, and the sum total of any geotagged images or videos uploaded around that time and place.

Suspicion will be auto-assigned to people who are detected to have phones (via video analyzed pocket bulge or historic behavior) but which are not emitting signals due for example to 'flight mode', or those who lend NFC identities, which may become illegal or against terms of service.
The encouragement that american society used to make on teen work might have been one pillar of their economical supremacy over Europe. Why? It' not uncommon that europeans have first contact with real world during their mid 20s. This is disaster for entrepreneurship.
More than once, David Ortiz reached on a bunt in the shift. (For those unaware, he's a large man who is not known for his speed).

It was arguably a net loss to have him bunt though, as a medium chance of a single might not make up for the loss of the extra-bases he would hit for otherwise.

> Stripe is closer to 2% but if you shop around, you'll find somebody who'll offer you 0.8-0.9%, give you free terminals and no monthly contract fees. Edit for those asking: Worldpay and Handepay are the best rates I've seen recently.

Worldpay starts around 2.75% + £0.20 per transaction; I'm sure you can negotiate them down, but not THAT low. Not if you're asking them to provide the merchant account AND process online/card not present payments. You're not getting a merchant account + payment gateway for less than a 1% fee. Not without stupidly massive volume, anyhow.

The reality is Stripe's rates are actually competitive; they're not wildly expensive, and they're not even the most expensive.
That is likely just their standard downtime message.
UGHHUGHGUH!
The suggestion is actually, just that. That is the literal meaning of "scapegoat" in English: one who is wrongfully taking the blame for another.

The other responder, dopamean, answered the question considering that context.
> In contrast, there are many machines that simply can't host a JVM

Well, if you're thinking in term of available resources, not really : most (if not every) chip on payment cards or SIM cards run Java[1] despite being incredibly limited in term of resources.

There are other (niche) example of Java running directly on bare metal, see Jazelle[2] for instance.

> or many platforms Rust just doesn't run on

Right now, absolutely but there is no technical limitation whatsoever that prevents Rust from running on these platforms. It might come, in the next decade or so if Rust gets enough traction, only time can tell.

I totally agree with the rest of your comment though.

Paying cash for the printer should mitigate things. At best they can tell something like that the page was printed by something that passed through a BestBuy warehouse in your town in the first quarter of last year, and that's it.

Buy a printer hundreds of miles away from home while on a road trip, pay cash, and then do whatever you want with it: print yourself a hundred million dollars and enjoy your print-irement. :)

Simply the awareness about the possibility of tracking goes a long way.
Your question seems to indicate that you have a runtime dependency on github. If true, this is a problem no matter where your git repo resides. You need to architect a solution wherein you do not have a runtime dependency, especially if it is a single point of failure, or accept that your reliability will never be better than the sum of your services' reli abilities (there was an article on the "calculus of availability" or something like that recently).

What I personally do in AWS is bake my artifacts or other git-sourced data into AMI's. If you want a middle ground, you can instead push your artifacts to an s3 target -- s3 has better reliability / track record than github for this purpose.

Apple charges $1 for 50gb . By default I have 5GB and have a 16gb phone , constantly fighting for space cleaning up to install apps or take a photo. Why can't they make default storage 50gB which is more than enough for many. I pay $700 for my phone can't they spend like $1 per month on me to give 50GB, they have $250 billion in bank doing nothing. Google gives unlimited storage for photos and 16megapixel. Why can't apple do something similar
Exactly this. It's painful to realize that Git was invented to solve this very problem, but so many use GitHub as their source control server just like CVS and all the other old source control systems.
Perhaps a lot of it has got to do with the personality of the founder: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/05/pinterest...

NAT has not solved the IP address problem, it has merely postponed it slightly. Multi-level NATs are a hell far beyond the single-level NATs that most consumers see (and single-level NATs already cause all sorts of problems for even moderately advanced network usage). So most people only have single-level NATs, which practically only extends the address space by a small multiple - 8 bits at most, in practice ~2-3 bits.

128 bits allows routing tables to be super small and fast. While RAM has gotten cheaper, it is still slow, and smaller routing tables are way more important than smaller addresses.

However, I agree with your central point - IPv4 was "good enough" that IPv6 is going to be a tougher battle than it ought to be. However, IPv6 is winning that battle already. 15% of google's users use IPv6, and it's increasing sigmoidally. [1]

TLDR. There was meth involved apart from the jaywalking...
Where does it present the data affirming these teachers would receive higher scores were they male? The authors declare that the voices of students polled is irrelevant and declare their own inference as fact. It's ok to accept that all the women teachers suck where the students were polled as it's not representative of all female teachers and even if it were, science means accepting data as collected. Unfortunately, opinion polls are rarely scientific in nature and are always biased by:
-who is polled (even member cross-section amongst the same group)
-when they're polled (did they have a shitty day?)
-where they're polled (fine I'll answer so I can get to where I need at this moment.)
And that's just off the top of my head.
No that would have been very limited. It's very important to turn on and off execution flow and of course branch it. That applies both in graphics and in sound. Why you got that impression ?

The other responses you've received are solid, but are still very tech-focused.

Here's another angle. What about HR? Marketing? Those are very people-focused professions that typically involve lots of in-person conversations. I'm a digital marketer myself, and while yes, the job can technically be done remotely, I'd say that about half of what I do couldn't be done to the level I do it at without in-person interactions or those quick hallway conversations. And that is despite working at a very remote-friendly company where we're all on Slack.

Also, your question about what type of content can only be communicated in a hallway comes across as very black and white. Sure, technically most of that communication could occur through one of those other options. But you know what? It won't be as effective for some of the other reasons people noted. You and your personal experiences might be outliers, but for most people there is a BIG difference between having a sensitive conversation with someone in a closed door meeting and having it be done remotely. For example--let's say someone is being let go. It always sucks, but having the HR person or your manager sitting you down and looking you in the eye while it happens would probably make you feel a lot less crappy about the situation than if the HR person dialed into a hangout, and mid-sentence the connection stuttered, or their video wasn't working.
It would seem not, since phones (at least in the US) are required to be able to connect to the tower in the absence of a SIM card for 911 calls.

anybody knows if www.atom.io would be affected by this?
sure, but if your Build System / CI is based around github, then you are a bit poked.

thank goodness I'm on bitbucket :) One of the things they offer is your own local server synched with their cloud servers for redundancy.
Then what's the alternative? Push and pull directly from other users who have access to the repository? What if that user is currently offline? There are huge benefits to having a main centralized repo. If you need redundancy for some reason, it's fairly trivial to mirror the repository somewhere else.
First, this is like climbing trivia! Who is the mystery user?

Question: do you still free solo? My impression is that there are plenty of ex-free soloists who are still alive (Peter Croft being one of the most notable). I suppose Croft still does some ropeless stuff high in the Sierras, but he seems to stick to a rope when doing more technical climbs. There are, however, fewer older free soloists who still solo at or close to their limits.

You are spot-on about the soloists attitude, however. The NPR article leaves out the fact that Honnold attempted the solo previously, but downclimbed because conditions were right.
Most of them. The good ones you rarely if ever read about. Only learn about them later on when docs are declassified, books are written, or they're shafted for politics.

That's interesting. While studying the Reichstag Fire in grade-school history class, I ran across a quote from someone in the Nazi propaganda machine, who asserted something to the effect that exerting control over a democracy was simply a matter of manufacturing a large enough exterior threat for them to fear. Sadly, I cannot remember the quote nor the author.
Others will say "work locally," but the problem is more in deployment. There's still a lot of app and CI servers out there where the workflow is "push to Github, then some automated script will tell the cluster to pull from Github" rather than "push the changes directly to the cluster." Containerization, especially projects like Kubernetes, make the latter much more viable; your cluster handles its own orchestration and deployment. It's still early days, though, and there's a lot that a new user can get wrong in setting such a system up. Ansible telling servers to git pull from Github may give you better uptime once you factor in your own mistakes.
Ohhh yea, shows how good my memory is.
Doubtless for the same reason I'm concerned with them while playing as Junkrat: the relation between launch angle and flight distance.
Gitlab.com? BitBucket is the other major player that comes to mind, but googling "hosting git" returns enough results to melt ones mind.

If you're really concerned, you run it yourself. GitLab insider a docker container isn't hard to manage. You can even 1-click Gitlab onto a DO Droplet in just a few minutes: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-...
To my mind this is ludicrous. Rand() is useful for many common educational assignments. It's also useful for many applications which want pseudo-random numbers for purposes unrelated to security.

I recently needed some pseudo-randoms, and discovered that I now have to stick a bunch of boilerplate in the code to obtain them. Is there really a difference between me sticking the boilerplate in vs having a function called rand() that does the boilerplate for me?
it's not about github though, it's about how people use git. nothing stops one from keeping a mirror, just in case similar situations happen
Good point; you're probably right and I'm probably wrong, since I'm recalling seeing videos that demonstrate how NFC works w/ cameras on Android versus iOS. I do have an iPhone, so to get pictures from a camera I have to (usually) manually select the camera network, then go to the app, then start downloading.

The clunky software camera companies ship doesn't help, of course. If I were in charge of a camera company I'd publish an API and SDK and welcome the world's many hackers to make the camera better, but alas I'm not and no one asks my opinion.
A common solution is to decide that github is down rarely enough that this isn't a problem. Eg if your only dependency on github is at deploy time, it might be ok if you can't deploy for a few hours a year when github is down. If you have a bigger (eg runtime) dependency or if being unable to deploy for a few hours is a problem, then yes– you run your own git server.

There was a problem in Edmonton ~10 years ago, where criminals would steal a car to get part way home in the winter. Then, they would convert it to a land missile, and launching it across a parking lot, into a mall, in the middle of the night.

High rents? Are you kidding? LA is cheap.

In 2010 I had a (OK, admittedly old) house on Mulholland Drive for $1700/mo. I had moved from London in 2009 which cost double that. Right now in 2017 I have a bog standard 118m2 apartment in Shenzhen for $1450/mo and there's absolutely no view, private orchard, wild deer, blue sky weather or cachet! In Sydney even unfurnished 85m2 in a cheap area would be AUD$2750 = USD$2060 and Hong Kong people recoil in horror at how cheap my place in Shenzhen is, they pay USD$3242 for unfurnished 85m2 in a cheap area.
