I am yet to believe how it is possible but it feels so good. I contacted hacklordwiz and they helped me flip my $5,000 to $50,000 and sent to my account without traces. You should try him today and thank me later,it’s unbelievable!!.. He can also help you hack phones,emails and all that tech stuff including spying on your partner. Just contact him at hacklordwiz@gmail.com, he is 100% trustworthy …i guarantee he is for real.
Yeah, oddly enough I believe this accountant is 100% incorrect.
> even if a project finds funding, does it follow that it will attract more talented developers?

It depends on what the funding is used for. Outreach in various forms (better documentation, presenting at conferences, a nicer website, moderating community venues from mailing lists to chat channels, triaging and grooming issues and PRs, etc.) takes time and effort (and therefore needs to be funded) as well.
> "Trust corporations' PR because they wouldn't do such a thing as lie", that's some neat stuff. x) Besides, there's this something called burden of proof?

I suggest you read your own post again. Project much? Google's PR statement is somewhat based in fact. I'm saying that I generally believe public statements made that are decently substantiated.

When you're the one saying that I'm naive or just gaping in disbelief, the burden of proof is on YOU to give reasons why the statements are at fault and why their reasoning is wrong. This is truly projecting at its finest.
Credits like these don't necessarily affect the actual money flowing into social security—social security is just used as a "taxation basis" in this case. That being said, that is a hypothesis—I'd have to look at the precise funding plan.
Finally, you seem to think that search users are Google's customers - as they don't pay anything to Google, they are a resource, or product - not a customer.

That set of users though is what this whole action from the EU is trying to protect. It's only marginally about the other businesses - the end goal is making sure the population of the EU is benefiting.

To that end I have yet to see where or how Google has proven they have the population's interest at mind than the government itself. Google has a much better track record than any government does at listening to the majority of a population's demands based on their behavior (yes even with the deprecation of groups/reader etc...) and responding with their products.

The EU or any other government does less for the population (relative to capabilities, obviously Google doesn't pave roads yet) than Google.
Ruby has $_

seq 1 20 | ruby -pe 'puts "num is #{$_}"'

Perl is probably a bit more concise, but you can do a lot of stuff with Ruby, which is convenient if you use it for other things too.
> Alcohol is a poison.

A meaningless blanket statement.

Methanol is a poison, far worse than ethanol, yet you've likely consumed it in small quantities from what you would think of as non-alcoholic sources. If there's no safe level alcohol consumption, you'd best stick to consuming your fruit unripened or avoiding them entirely. Again, relative toxicity is meaningless without also taking dose into account.

You could easily say the "correct" amount of oxygen is toxic, much more so than nitrogen even at sea level, and not be technically wrong. Change up the pressure and mixture and you might find the nitrogen causing more immediate (though not toxic) danger.
You have to target a niche where you can build a product that is 5x-10x better, to convince users to spend their time on your superior product instead of Facebook.

If you wanted to substantially undercut Facebook, there are only three possibilities.

1) Facebook drops the ball. Basically they screw-up their platform big time, in any number of ways, and make the product so incredibly bad people are desperate to leave. Then you have to have the right product at the right time to catch that exodus, vs other competitors like Google etc.

2) Technology inflection erodes Facebook. For example, had they continued to ignore mobile, they would have died like MySpace. Zuckerberg's move to heavy-mobile was equivalent to Bill Gates's call to arms regarding the Internet tidal wave memo in 1995 [1]. Zuckerberg is young enough and still at peak motivation (seemingly), it'll be very hard to catch him fully off guard on a major inflection.

3) Take a category of audience away and expand it. ie knock down the first bowling pin, one that you can hold and grow outward from. It's key that you be able to hold the ground you take. College students are the obvious target still and always will be. Facebook is very much not cool at this point, but Instagram still is (mostly), that enabled Facebook to kill Snapchat and retake the ground they lost. This third one is always viable and very hard sustain, there will always be a strong/tempting argument for selling at a high price after achieving success in taking ground (eg if Snapchat had sold for $10b or $20b to Facebook instead of going public). The monopoly will almost always pay up to continue their dominance, in the Standard Oil model, so far as they can and avoid anti-trust problems.

> you're not a wifemom, and you don't know how to combine those things into a meal

I think people could do this, but for whatever reason don't. Possibly the excessive media-isation of cooking has raised what the expected skill level is; people are no longer content with something edible but unspectacular, or food that's too ugly to Instagram. We've come a long way from Fanny Cradock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O5WDPSpI1A

e.g. the other day I ate what was left in my fridge: pasta with mangetout and Polish ham (+garlic, onion, rosemary). Entirely reasonable but not quite dinner-party quality.

Traditionally in this country, people readily migrated for job opportunities. Maybe that's just a fairy tale, though it happened more than once in my family and with plenty of people I know. Perhaps people in resource extraction and one-factory towns no longer want to migrate for opportunity. Or maybe that's never been a majority inclination to begin with.

I'd like to emphasize the canary file. This is a file that you should never access in normal operations. Thus, if the file was in fact accessed, that is a sign that something is scanning your file system.

Depending on the threat, such a scan might be a good reason to pull the cord from the mains socket. You don't want to let a normal shutdown occur, rather pull the cord and mount the disk on another system to recover / analyze.

Hi there. Another PM chiming in from Gusto on Federal R&D :).

While you may be eligible, you will need to make sure that you have filed Form 6765 with your 2016 Corporate Tax Return. The good news (I guess) is that if you didn't file this form you can amend you Corporate Tax Return (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i6765.pdf). However, just be advised that the process to amend a corporate tax return is often pretty painful. So you may want to be sure that the credit will be worth your while.

It sounds like you are eligible, but I would double check with an accounting firm just to be sure. If you go to our accountant page (https://gusto.com/partners/find-an-accountant) look for "Offers R&D Tax Services" on their company listing. This should give you some very reputable firms to work with on your credit study.

Good luck with your Credit!

Meal kits are cooking for yourself. They simplify shopping, inventory management, and recipe discovery, but the customer still does all the cooking, and, depending on the kit, most of the prep other than portioning out bulk goods to the quantities needed.

Another turn of thought: the Amazon acquisition of Whole Foods could play into supporting these small businesses. Amazon likes to think of things as "primitives" that get turned into other businesses. Today, your small businesses can use Amazon tools for product warehousing, selling, and even all the associated web properties.

Now, with WF, Amazon may be able to treat fresh produce in a similar way. Sure, Whole Foods could produce and distribute meal kits. But I'd suspect the components of what goes into the meal kits could also be made available, such that the "local restauranteur" could come up with the creative bit - the recipe - and then have parts like the supply chain of high quality produce, distribution, sales, etc, basically available via Amazon.

It's a little scary thinking about how far ahead Amazon is from it's competition.

>> The iPad Pro is already neck and neck with the MacBook Pro

A nitpick with the use of "the" with Macbook Pro.

I think you need to qualify that as the 13" Macbook Pro. The 13" models use ultrabook class processors, while the 15" models use much faster quad core i7 processors. IMO, the 13" and 15" are very different beasts because of that.

SF stays manageably temperate, while LA & SD get really hot for several months. If SF is too cold for a day, you can go hop a ride on bart and hang around the warmer east bay for however longer you want to.

Getting only down to 50F max and having a 60F avg temp is easily solved by a sweater. 80F+ is solved by an AC, which is a lot more work.
The v2 models are much smaller (15mb), because neural networks. The parsing, NER and tagging are mostly okay with the 50mb model. There are only word vectors for the top 5k words though, which can be a problem.

The v2 English models are more accurate, and can assign vectors to any word, including unknown words using the context and the word shape. Overall it's much better -- but it's still in alpha. The docs are already better, though.
That's because people don't actually value free things, until they come to depend on them, and then there is no way for that to continue unless they pay. And even then they will pay the bare minimum to keep it going. That's the whole psychology behind open source. Companies could pay for it and those using it can more than afford to do so, but it's free, and apparently it's going to stay that way so why not ride that gravy train?
Homelessness comes from high cost of housing. It is emotionally convenient to blame other causes, but there is still mental health support in cities through federally funded community health centers.
> When carpenter will try to use toothed disc from circular saw on the handheld angle grinder(1) instead of abrasive disc and it will disintegrate at overspeed he'll know. Maybe it will be too late but he will, for sure.

They do make such blades for angle grinders; they tend to be "universal" blades to cut wood, metal, and ceramic/brick. There are also "chain" blades, which are meant for high-speed carving of wood (they look like a chainsaw chain wrapped around a circular blade).

Likely, if you really wanted to do it and had nothing else handy, a cutoff blade would probably cut wood just fine (take care to watch for too much friction, though). Alternatively, a circle of file folder paper chucked in would work as well.
You can demonstrate this yourself pretty easily using an ordinary 20-lb barbecue tank, a "high pressure" aka 20 psi regulator ($20 on amazon), and a high-pressure burner head (also $20 on amazon). Turn it all the way up - you'll get a great big hot flame at first, but you'll quickly see a shell of ice forming on the outside of the tank, because the process of evaporation drains heat out of the propane very quickly, and it gets cold enough to condense water out of the atmosphere into ice. Within half an hour, that big hot flame will have died down to something very gentle: the tank is still full of propane, but it's now so cold it'll no longer evaporate quickly enough to keep the pressure up. You'll have to turn it off and let it thaw for a few hours before it'll really get going again.
Reminds me of this other thread from a post about a CRM for keeping track of personal associations:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14498633

Facebook has a huge opportunity to help people stay connected with those closest to them -- and keep track of a wider circle of friends and family members -- in ways that actually evoke empathy and care, rather than jealousy and attention-seeking.

But I suppose that would run counter to their advertising funnels...

> It is wrong

As with any political matter, binary assertions like this oversimplify issues. A counter argument in this case is that strict zoning laws serve to control an influx of citizens to a location. Those influxes can fundamentally change the culture for the present residents.

Is that a bad thing? I think it's worthy of debate. But blanket statements risk dismissing reasonable arguments before they are even presented.
It's not a fairy tale. California became a populous state due to the gold rush.
I'm always interested to see how people react to a news article or study that criticizes alcohol. I have noticed over time that alcohol consumption is usually a taboo subject to discuss for some reason, and almost everyone I talk to immediately gets on the defensive when I say that I don't drink and never will. Can anyone shed some light on why exactly people don't like it when someone doesn't drink, especially when it's for health reasons?

Anyways, I'm not surprised that most of the comments here are either outright defensive or are just proposing ways to undermine the content of the study. Reading through the comments, arguments include: the one size fits all "correlation is not causation", ad hominem attacks on WaPo itself, half-jokingly accusing the article author of drinking, and arguing the semantics of what constitutes a "drink".
re: contract work, the reason why they would hire you instead of put an employee on it is that you will be able to get it done faster and will probably do a better job.

Sure, they could have one of their employees do it, but that would take that employee's time (and therefore the company's money). They don't necessarily save money by having an employee do it. Imagine that finishing this software on a contractor basis would take you 200 hours. It would take the employee 400 hours because the employee needs to familiarize herself with the idea, and maybe pick up a new technology or something. It's probably cheaper for the company to have you do it in half the time, even if your hourly rate is higher than their employee's.
Do you actually see this spiral personally or do you envision it?
The argument boils down to, "more building, but not here".

> "Tech giants" mean very large tech companies, basically these: Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple. This term is found often in the media, and is quite unambiguous.

You're begging the question. Define tech company and giant. You're defining the term by itself, which is a great usage of circular logic.

> 1. https://privacy.google.com/# ("put you in control") 2. https://www.facebook.com/facebook/info ("make the world more open and connected")

Google allows you to control any information you decide to share with it, and gives you a dashboard where you can see what information it uses. It shutting down systems that it no longer deems profitable is not putting you out of control - you cannot control Google, and it's not required to give you alternatives to its systems. It does allow you to export all data you have uploaded into it.

> That is, arguably, Google in control.

That is arguably, not. You're debating semantics here and saying that you're the sole valid arbiter and true interpreter of Google's statements. I assert that you're not. Our arguments are equally valid.

> Cheaper and quicker solutions could be implemented simply with phones and P2P...

In your opinion. Facebook has a set of constraints - just because they're prioritizing certain other priorities or technical solutions to lack of connectivity and openness doesn't mean that they're lying about their priorities.

> I'd appreciate if no ad "hominen" comments are made, they just distract.

First, it's spelled hominem. Misspelling a logical fallacy is on the same order as misspelling idiotic - it makes it very difficult to take either your arguments or your point seriously.

Point out exactly one instance where I disparaged somebody's character or background as a reason for the invalidity of their argument, rather than a lack of logic in their discussion. Your introducing of an supposed ad hominem attack is baseless and a red herring, designed to distract from the basic weakness and invalidity of your argument.

What should I trust more:

A trade secret proprietary and obfuscated operating system from an organization known to collude with the government

Or

Code I have read in part, and know others read, and stand to believe that among all of us using those with the money or time would also audit

Given, we are all on predominantly x86 computers with proprietary obfuscated control processors that can seize control of the system and do whatever they are told by the manufacturer / those the manufacturer gives access to, so the security is in general a whiff.

Or more generally, don't use Linux for a false sense of security, because the security holes go much, much deeper than just the kernel and whats running on top of it, and Linux itself is nothing outstanding from a security architectural standpoint.
