5. Use Mail.app rather than the Gmail web interface. Parental controls then let you whitelist addresses that the kids can use e-mail with you can set it up so that if they ask t e-mail someone new, they can request it and you'll get an 'allow/deny pop up.

6. Set up a free OpenDNS account for use on your kids machines and set up a profile for use with them (you can adjust strictness and alerts you want to receive).

7. Once again - talk to your kids. Explain that if they click on something that requests this kind of thing, they are not to run it. Running it will result in reduced computer time and privileges. Ultimately technology can only help you parent, it cannot do it for you.
Anyone still using XP at this point is obviously not planning to upgrade to a new OS in the first place. I'm certain there are virtually no XP users who would have been swayed to finally upgrade by these specific security patches being withheld.

Other standards, and web standards in particular, tend to have several open source implementations to guarantee that it's possible to build tools that support it without being the reference implementation. OOXML has no such thing, and the reference implementation is closed source, so it's basically impossible to replicate in any practical sense.
"Male" and "female" are fine as adjectives, but "female" as a noun is routinely used as a derogative, and definitely has that connotation in (at least parts of) the US.

I'm told it's not that way in the military, but it definitely is in many subcultures. Working with poor urban kids, I saw this all the time. "Don't listen to that female", etc. It's not something progressives just came up with--it's very much used as a derogatory term by a lot of people in the US.

(There is also the probably-related progressive concept of "people-first language"--you're not an "addict", you're a person who's addicted. Funnily enough, my first introduction to this was Cryptonomicon, and only in the past couple years have I heard it pushed by progressives.)

The end-of-line character issue is trivial to solve with a very simple editor (e.g. many editors can figure it out and render appropriately). I _think_ the real issue is that NotePad is a rather basic (not dumb, just simple) tool which unfortunately is an OS default. Imagine a world where something like Notepad++ is the default bare-minimum text editor for a typical end-user OS!

>... She basically ended up spinning off the entire value of the Alibaba stake plus $4.5 billion -- which is about $5 billion ahead of where the company was at when she started

The market value of the company almost always is not equal to what the company could sell itself for to another company. In this case, the board would have likely gotten much more for the shareholders by spinning off Alibaba and selling the rest rather than hire Mayer.

For example:

- She did some very bad hires such as Henrique de Castro who in 15 months got over 100 million in salary, stock and severance.

- She wasted billions on acquisitions that did not add value.

- Most of the comments from Yahoo employees since she was hired were never very good, and her behavior with employees was said to sometimes be somewhat bizarre (such as reading a children's book at a comm meeting) or essentially throwing a company party where she is the guest of honor.

I don't know the numbers for sure, but with the security breaches, web site redesigns and inability to get ahead of technology trends, I think user engagement with the site is likely less than when she started.

There are times when we update users as fast as possible, but that's fairly rare and happens only when there's an exploit disclosed in public (or one definitely being used). So in addition to the security ratings used by Mozilla (defined here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security_Severity_Ratings) there are also "incidents" that result in a very fast release to all users (i.e. "chemspill").
Yeah, I agree. I will always give preference for devices that fully function without internet access. For instance, the Venstar thermostat I use has a cloud component where you can track stats and remote control the device if you want, but it's 100% optional and the device loses no functionality, beyond the on-device weather, when there is no internet access. The local APIs allow me to easily integrate it with my HA controllers as well.
Imagine if you will a hospital system say, the VA, which owns a number of MRI machines, x-ray equipment, or similar which runs Windows XP. Now imagine that these machines were built by a company that was acquired and dismantled and therefore can no longer provide updates. Now imagine that these machines are connected to the local network behind the firewall, but can not be air gapped... for reasons. These machines work just fine, other than having an old OS. Should they get scrapped?

Funny, that. I've got several machines around the house which are used by my daughters (~6 and 12 yo) and wife. The machines run Debian, apart from one on which I installed Mint. I have several Android devices for the same purpose. Those Android devices range from a 2011 Ainol Novo 8 Advanced running Gingerbread to a Teclast X80 running Lollipop. I use Debian myself, on client and server hardware. We use Firefox, Seamonkey and Chromium (not Chrome).

I never had a single piece of malware on any of these machines, ever. I do see lots of SSH login attempts to the servers (in vain, naturally) and quite a bit of exploit scanning for vulnerable services but the amount of successful intrusion attempts, whether on client or server, is zero.

When she took over, there were numerous articles about how Yahoo's core business had negative value (the business plus the Alibaba investment was worth less than the Alibaba investment).

Since then she's given a lot of cash to shareholders, raised the stock price, and is selling the "negative value" core business for $4.5 billion.

That's an astounding success.

I think the very phrase you pointed out is a big part of the problem: "common sense regulation". This seems to be designed to slip past any rational discussion. If you can say that something is "just common sense", then you've excused yourself from needing to provide the logical foundation for your argument.
For clarity (as I struggled with the title), Drew did a 580,000 vcpu run this weekend (as an update from his 220,000 run previously). We decided to include the monitoring graph in the hopes that folks here wanted to see how quickly he brought them up, how long it ran, etc. and explicitly included the $20k number since we missed it last time.

Thanks for all the feedback, and onwards to 1M.

Agree. But what is the point are we not entitled to get the data using an API from an exchange that is publicly traded. Is trading a private affair ?
I work for a healthcare organization with 100,000+ employees serving a population of just over 4.2 million. I went from XP to Windows 7 last month.
Is Trading a private affair. Lets say if I want to develop an open source API , How should I go about?
Really, the reason "code rots" is because of updates. Compatibility with old code breaks over time. That is, in fact, exactly why so many government systems use ancient Windows XP versions and the like: Code doesn't rot if you don't update anything.

Of course, security vulnerabilities do still become more known over time, and if you patch for them, you end up rotting code.

To handle both code rot and security vulnerabilities, you need software that is persistently maintained and upgraded, which means having a software team permanently on the job instead of what a lot of government software came from: One-time projects where a contractor comes in and does something.

It sets an expectation. I've never been in an environment where "optional" late-night things like dinner were truly optional. There's an expectation set that you're working at least as late as the dinner, and probably after, regardless of results or the value you're providing to the company.
Your comment implies that the presentation says you shouldn't use thread. But that's not what it says. The conclusion is that you should only use threads when you are actually trying to achieve cpu concurrency.
Assuming that ‘yes‘ is primarily limited by memory performance and kernel calls, the language runtime should have little influence.
How do you define "patriarchal" in the context of that sentence?
You're correct - it's a sexist thing. I'm not sure malice is intended, but that doesn't make it fair or right.
Maybe not from security patches being withheld, but I'd bet that Britain's NHS has done something to improve security following their encounter with WannaCry - and I know my university's hospital system did.

> Rather, the fact that he had two children was presented, by an omniscient narrator.

That the narrator is omniscient doesn't change anything. The question still remains: under what circumstances would the narrator have told you, e.g., that "he has a boy born on Tuesday" vs. "he has a girl born on Tuesday". Perhaps this omniscient narrator really likes girls, in which case they would tell you about a girl if Mr. Jones had any girls. Then since they told you "Mr. Jones has a boy born on Tuesday", you know definitely that Mr. Jones has no girls.

Ignoring the source of your knowledge doesn't make that source any less important. And the standard convention you're talking about corresponds to a source of knowledge where you ask a yes/no question and get a yes, which is frequently unrealistic. This is why it disagrees with people's intuition, and this problem is called a paradox.

Just to note that if you know of anyone who is interested in working on NumPy and potentially to move to UC Berkeley then tell them they probably should contact Nathaniel – if NumPy got funding they'll likely hire developers/community manager/technical writer ... etc . UC BIDS is a fantastic place to work at, and Nathaniel is an extraordinary person to work with. I'm going to assume there is also some opportunity for remote work.
I've found Chrome as buggy and unreliable as it's been fast and responsive. I actually switched to Firefox on my Windows PC because Chrome just stopped rendering properly (not just rendering HTML, the entire window was broken). I also have to turn off users' hardware acceleration at the office so that their 'my tabs go blank!' bugs stop happening.

So I guess I understood these dinners wrong. It's not like a social dinner? Or does this mean like company supplied dinner starts at 8:15pm?

Well, yes, I think "don't directly reward and incentivize staying too late at work" is the whole point of the recommendation. E.g. "signal the end of the work day."
A male employee can have a pizza delivered too. A catered dinner has nothing to do with harassment, the recommendation was to promote inclusivity, but was tone deaf as to the purpose of the dinners.

It's handy for trying it out without installing the full app and update service on Windows. Or for running Stable, Dev, Beta on the same machine with separate profiles without needing command line switches.

Blizzard? Diablo 2 got a patch just this year.

I get what you're saying, it's nice that they're doing this, but it's not really so much a goodness of the heart thing as it is that there is a super critical bug to many versions of Windows and there happen to be enough XP machines around that they're a significant threat. The bugs are big enough and the threat great enough that there's probably less cost in patching than there is in dealing with any of the potential fallout.
I was maybe misinterpreting the dinner, but I was thinking go home then come back.
"Why do you insist on calling this square a rectangle?"
The data should have been split into train, validation, and test sets before augmentation was applied. As it is now, there are likely examples in the validation and test sets that are highly similar to examples in the training set. The goal of validation should be to measure performance on previously unseen patients, not previously unseen scans of patients you've already trained on.
I've worked with plenty of people who suck at coding. Being good at coding doesn't seem to be a prerequisite.
That's a good point. Seems like we could do a bit better than the current state of the art, though. If non-optimized builds trapped on overflow, that would at least give you a better chance of detecting these problems before the optimizer starts throwing out code you meant to keep.
Well, the US government's already paying them to maintain XP to begin with. So the patches already exist internally at Microsoft, and it costs them nothing if they just decide "Hey, this patch is such a big deal, we also want to let everyone else have it". Isn't really gonna change the fact that the US government's still paying them for the work.

And computer security benefits from herd immunity tactics, so it's best to get virus updates in as many hands as possible. It's why Microsoft has never really prevented pirated copies of Windows from getting security updates. They benefit from not having old machines potentially causing problems for newer ones, and even just avoiding the bad PR from massive malware attacks.

Restructor: Automatically refactors code-bases to their least-redundant form
I have a question regarding the morality of buying these coins:
1. In buying I provide liquidity and add to the perception they have value.
2. I am aware they are a big Ponzi scheme and vulnerable people may lose money they cannot afford to.
3. However altcoins may be a "too big to fail" Ponzi scheme, which like the property market, will rise seemingly forever.
4. I would rather be on the inside than the outside if it does. I'm on the outside of the property market in the UK after correctly assessing it was a pyramid, but wrongly believing it would crash and not be propped up.
5. Good and vulnerable people might lose their savings because I have enabled a perception that these markets are not pyramid schemes.
