that he can lose cash from China he does almost the same thing as what he is fighting against in US

I'm kind of wondering how you think its possible to run a large company while 'losing cash' because your supply chain is suddenly unavailable? Or because your competitors have a lower cost structure than you do?

Do you know what American consumers will do if Tim Cook doesn't feed them the bullshit about how it's realistic to impose American values on their Chinese partners? American consumers will go buy a f'ing Samsung. Samsung's ethical record is horrifying and truly shameful - far worse than anything Apple has ever done or consented to - but American ignorance of and indifference to other cultures spares Samsung the same burden that Apple and Tim Cook bear. Cook needs to feed his customers the bullshit; Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei etc don't.

This is an encoding of the JS AST, so it has a 1-to-1 mapping to JS (modulo whitespace, but the JS would probably be minified anyway). It would be trivial to build a tool to convert this back into JS, and browser devtools will probably do that automatically.
We released 2 apps on iOS and Android. One is 0.8 MB and the second just at 1.8 MB. Obviously we have not a lot of graphics embedded. We use mostly C and 2 cross platform projects SFML and Nuklear for the GUI. The GUI is more in the gaming style but for us it fits the bill and we render at 60 FPS on most devices including the iPad mini original of my daughter.

Estonian reporting in.

Our internet voting system has solved this problem.
The votes secrecy is guaranteed by allowing citizens to vote multiple times and only the last vote is counted. No-one is obligated to vote on the internet and a paper system works in parallel. If you cast your vote on the internet AND with a paper ballot as well, the paper ballot is counted.

This guarantees no-one can be forced to vote, as they can simply vote again in the 7 day e-voting period.

Each vote is encrypted and signed, but in two different containers. The goverment public key is used to encrypt the vote. That container is then wrapped into another that is signed with the citizens private key. Before counting, the double-casts are filtered out and the votes are anonymized by removing the signed wrapper.

And, it's open source: https://github.com/vvk-ehk/evalimine
That's because in 2003 it still required firewire which basically 0 PCs had. Furthermore 2005 was when they released significantly lower-priced models like the nano and shuffle.
>...When you show me how to safely store radioactive waste for the thousands of years that are required to make it safe, I consider nuclear power as a safe, effective and economically viable option.

Right now nuclear waste can and should be recycled which would reduce the amount of waste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

Soon it will be possible to use most of the waste as fuel:

"...Fast reactors can "burn" long lasting nuclear transuranic waste (TRU) waste components (actinides: reactor-grade plutonium and minor actinides), turning liabilities into assets. Another major waste component, fission products (FP), would stabilize at a lower level of radioactivity than the original natural uranium ore it was attained from in two to four centuries, rather than tens of thousands of years"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

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

While there are issues with nuclear power, the worry people have about nuclear waste is greatly overblown to say the least. The amounts generated are manageable and in a relatively short amount of time we can use most of this "waste" to generate electricity.
utf8 isn’t “bloated.” A utf8 file with just ASCII characters (every character you’ll see in JS, with the exception of foreign language strings) is identical to the ASCII encoding. You may be thinking of UTF16, which does use two bytes for every character.

I wonder if it can be applied a 3rd meta-time.
E.g.: an RNN would edit the weights of another one which edits the weights of the main one.
And maybe add the L2L meta optimizer in that?

Jio Money. Bangalore, India. Many Positions - focus is on cryptocurrency, distributed databases and ReactJS. Full time.

The problem scope is large, complex and fascinating problem to crack.

The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

In this iteration I am looking to hire functional programmers (Clojure, etc), data platform engineers and project managers who will work of Bangalore, India.

We are open to hiring people from around the world but they will need to work out of Bangalore.

Looking for full time and in exceptional cases, consultants, welcome.

We also have our payment network baked into banks and mass transit.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie.

On a side note and for the readers outside India : It also helps to note that Jio, which is our cellular telephony play, launched around the same time, now is the world's largest cellular data network (pumping 26,000 TB per day). We now have 130 million subscribers (in ~9 months). In addition to our 4G network, last month we also launched our 25$ feature phone which has 4G and NFC on it, to create the largest NFC ecosystem in the country. My team built the framework that we use to build apps rapidly on low end phones.
I know this says redhat.com, but title is still a bit misleading. Btrfs has been deprecated on RHEL, but it is still under active development on its own.
These featured come in an optional extension and your comment is fud.
Call me cynical, but does "SoundCloud's Musical Culture" actually pertain to a significant portion of audio over the internet?

Over the years, I've used Pandora, SomaFM (still do), Spotify and others as well as some iTunes and my own large collection.

What is actually lost with "SoundCloud's Musical Culture" and what percentage of the internet audio listeners does it impact?
Doesn’t crash for me. I’m on iOS. It does, if I stop playing music, get killed pretty quickly by the OS. I just wish it remembered where it left off.
This looks like a solid bill. It doesn't force the market's hand; it just guides it using the government's purchasing power. (The CFAA fix for good-faith cybersecurity research is a welcome add-on, too.)
I think that the point was more that heap allocation is not a standard language primitive in C. And indeed, it would be ludicruous to require dynamic allocation support from freestanding implementations (no standard library because typically your platform doesn't even have an OS).

Namely the RIAAA and MPAA in this particular case.
People here seem to be blaming over eager use of third party libraries for a lot of bloat. Is there no such thing as dead code elimination for apps that would eliminate the unused portions of your dependencies?
Can't agree more. Both frameworks and libraries have their place. But arguing framework are evil is immature. If you are not using one, you probably are building one without you being aware of it. Use whatever works.
Deprecated? In favour of what?

Will Redhat too (like Ubuntu) start shipping ZFS?
You're saying grazing is zero input but e.g. a soy bean farm is not. This whole comparison is off.

A soy bean farm is a bad idea, firstly. To maintain balance, you wouldn't just want to farm soy beans.

Next, grass doesn't just magically appear. It too needs nutrients.

Cow manure is one way to improve soil nutrients, but Permaculture shows us many more ways to keep the cycle flowing.

In the end, the best picture is actually that the cows grazing and the soy beans exist together in a larger system of many other products that work together in providing nutrients that the others need.

Cows, though, are ultimately unnecessary for a Permaculture style system, and we can grow food without them. Then they can just be there as our friends and participate in our agricultural systems as fertilizers, if circumstances happen that way.
That makes no sence. Any company would try to maximize its profit in such situation, so if you don't like this you will have to become self-employed.

> that vendors ensure the devices are free from known vulnerabilities when sold.
> Under the proposal, an IoT device has a fairly broad definition, being described as “a physical object that is capable of connecting to and is in regular connection with the Internet;” and one that “has computer processing capabilities that can collect, send or receive data.”

What is the exact definition of "known vulnerability"? With very broad definition, that would likely prevent them from buying any computers equipped with Windows for good part of the year as while Microsoft is preparing a patch for some vulnerability (which may have been internally discovered).

With even more broad definition, it could prevent selling with Linux as well for similar reason (as one of the tens of thousand packages is likely preparing a patch).

If it means vulnerabilities where there's either
1) exploit
2) patch
3) detailed information
available, it would likely be enough.
I love the idea of binary ASTs as the things browsers compile instead of source, but I don't think making browsers even more complex is worth it. These new binary files would also be yet another type of asset to serve alongside your .js files, with implications for debugging and source maps. If the reward is bloated SPAs load 10% faster, as long as they ship both JS and binary JS, forever, I would wonder if browsers should parse the binary format or just keep optimizing their text parsers more.
XFS is the default FS on RHEL now, so likely that.
Yeah I'm not really following how users desiring a natural-language tuple-looking thing prevents proper identity verification. Even without namespacing strong identity controls (signature verification and preventing unauthorized accounts from posting under a taken name, for example) can prevent most attacks short of typosquatting.
Thanks. That greatly improved the landing page. My advice, don't hide prices for your potential customers. It's OK to ask money, make it clear how much. You charge per character count. I have no clue how many characters there are in an average book. I would make a nice price table showing price per character and what this means on average for a book of 100, 500, etc pages. I don't want to upload every book only to learn it is too expensive.

In fact. I won't even try before I know an expected cost.
Yes, but the company isn't a part of my identity.

Seems promising and easy to use in practice.
I think you are underestimating the power of the western economy and the negative impact of isolationism. China don't want to play alone.
> For example, the bill would require [...] that vendors ensure the devices are free from known vulnerabilities when sold.

This seems... logistically challenging. It kind of also seems like an invitation to release new, high-priced "only the government will buy these" devices frequently, since (a) new devices don't have known vulnerabilities yet, and (b) older devices do have known vulnerabilities, so the government won't be allowed to buy them. But the security of those new devices will be much worse than the security of older ones.
I am sure a lot of leaders in china do not agree with what is going on there and draconian laws but they can't say anything against it since they will lose control and revenue if they get dropped from the top. Same with apple, it might not agree with what they are doing but they are too worried about their revenue stream to speak up against it. The difference is that at least Chinese don't act like hypocrites in this case. They don't proclaim to be fighters for human rights and freedoms.

Same thing is happening in Russia for example with corruption. A lot of new people who come work in higher positions just could not go agains the corrupted system, if someone that has control over their position tells them to do something, they will do it because otherwise they will be end up with no job and money. Those who speak up without worrying about their lost revenue are the real heros, not Tim Cook who was made look like one with his recent announcements
Yes - of course hustling in the context of pool takes on that meaning.

You can cleave things apart, yet you can cleave things together. Words have different meanings depending on context.

Look at the actual definition of the word Hustle in M&W. The way hustle was used in the article was a more common usage of the word than as a con.

transitive verb

1
a : to crowd or push roughly : jostle, shove had been hustled into a jail cell with the other protesters

b : to convey forcibly or hurriedly grabbed him by the arm and hustled him out the door — John Dos Passos

c : to urge forward precipitately hustling tourists from one museum to the next

2
a : to obtain by energetic activity —usually used with up hustle up new customers try to hustle up some tickets to tonight's game hustling up some grub

b : to sell something to or obtain something from (someone) by energetic and especially underhanded activity : swindle hustling the suckers an elaborate scam to hustle the elderly

c : to sell or promote energetically and aggressively hustling a new product

d : to lure less skillful players into competing against oneself at (a gambling game) hustle pool

intransitive verb

1: shove, press

2: hasten, hurry you'd better hustle if you want to catch the bus

3
a : to make strenuous efforts to obtain especially money or business
our quartet was out hustling … and we knew we stood good to take in a lot of change before the night was over — Louis Armstrong

b : to obtain money by fraud or deception

c : to engage in prostitution

4: to play a game or sport in an alert aggressive manner She's not the most talented player on the team, but she always hustles.
> A language does not need to provide every hardware primitive, just realize that it can't and implement a sane way to support hardware features that don't require abusing a cumbersome macro system and heavy compiler modification.

The information has to somehow be passed to the compiler, your options are: compiler specific features (see gcc attributes, etc), language level (see the fun that becomes with explicit_memset vs. memset) or a really fancy IR that can hold these types of requirements.
Its actually more on the creative side. SoundCloud has such a low barrier to posting and acts more as a sort of Twitter or YouTube than a playlist maker. It allows culture to form around the community of SoundCloud, not just fans that you advertise directly.
That's a great suggestion, and what I do as a vegan (mostly I eat beans and rice). But I believe things like this are developed in response to current cuisine, e.g. meat burgers. That people don't want to give up that taste and want a way to maintain their current desires for taste. I admit that I still enjoy e.g. a Beyond Burger occasionally for that reason.
I didn’t say anything about norming performance. I just said that there should be equality of opportunity.

What kind of mass spectacle do you have in mind?
GPUs are generally not latency optimized anyway - if an app is sensitive to tens of microseconds then it belongs on the CPU, broadly speaking.

AMD's advantage here is getting drop-in throughput, by switching the SSD directly to the GPU. Thus, the onboard SSD doesn't waste host PCIe lanes (4 lanes, typically) that are getting hard to come by in regular desktop computing systems.
I supposed their upgrade path is...

* Make fresh backups

* Verify the backups

* Re-install and use the backups
Disappointing. Kite looked like a really nice product.

> We are bombarded with moral appeals on a daily basis, and while signaling our agreement or support online can sometimes yield enough traffic for a commercial or voluntary activity, it has a pretty dismal record in bringing about political change.

Agreed. It seems as though no one who's relatively comfortable is willing to put any skin in the game (literally). We're sitting around with our thumbs up our collective arses wearing stickers of our preferred social justice brand while wondering why the world is hurtling more and more towards a dystopia-enthusiast's wet dream. It's too bad signalling our morals to everyone achieves jack shit.
It's hard for me to understand the excitement for lab meat. Can you explain your interest?
Oh c'mon it's not that much slower. Some things feel chunkier (scrolling) but JS performance is 80%-90% of the way there.
It can mean both, it's entirely down to context.

To me it means someone who simply works harder and incessantly compared to others when used in a work context. The guy who puts in the extra time/hours/learning/whatever to out "hustle" their peers.

In small business circles in Minnesota where I grew up it was pretty universal - those that that were known to "hustle" were revered. Example would be two lawn care companies where the owner of one would be working dawn to dusk and then spending 2 more hours distributing fliers, where the other guy knocked off at 4pm every day. The former would be known as someone who has some hustle, and you'd want to work for that guy over the latter.

Of course it also has the swindler meaning as well - street hustler, etc. Plenty of folks in my life describe themselves as having a "side hustle" and they certainly are not doing anything illegal or immoral. Just instead of going home to veg out watching TV or whatnot, they are pursuing more productive activities and that is how they describe it.

So to me - if someone came up to me and described themselves as a hustler I would default imagine someone who is more motivated than most, and is always looking for opportunity no matter where that may come from.

It's an interesting word, it seems!
Fitness tracking is nice, but I believe that for 90% of runners is totally irrelevant. They have other, simpler metrics and work well. Those who want wearables buy specialized equipment (heart rate monitoring, etc.)

Add to all the above that an iPhone with an armband is just as easy to manage.

If the price drops by half, then it might become an interesting proposition, but till then, I don't see the watch as an iPod-like product and I am even considering buying one - I had a pebble before.
What's missing here is context. The reason we are seeing a spate of similar news on this is because China recently changed the law, and so companies are making sure they comply with the law as a first step before figuring out further strategies.

Now maybe they take no further steps, but it's unreasonable to expect companies to entirely end their entire China operations based on a new law whose implications are not fully understood.

Instead they are making sure they are in compliance and seeing the specifics of what that entails before deciding what if anything to do next.

I don't see why you could exclude people from a private club due to their protected class either. Homes are not businesses. This isn't convincing.
Yes, I really believe that.

The people who are into "blockchain banking" are not actually into cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is about decentralised, trustless, permissionless, peer-to-peer networks. "Blockchain all the things" is decidedly not.

I acknowledge that this can be hard to see from the outside.

Edit: And at risk of "no true Scotsman"... the people talking about "blockchain technology" are not cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
If that was their key differentiator, why did they need so many engineers especially in super expensive SF?
Take inspiration from Basecamp and iterate over your processes
Ah, I'm not sure I understand your last point. What about selling a "new high priced" item to the government because the engineering team spent some cycles fixing up the known vulnerabilities and re-released the product with those issues fixed. This seems like it would be more secure than a new untested product.
This is specific to RHEL7, notably that they won't backport any further kernel updates and won't move it from Technology Preview to release. Red Hat wasn't really driving btrfs development at all from what I am aware of.

⁠Btrfs has been deprecated

The Btrfs file system has been in Technology Preview state since the initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat will not be moving Btrfs to a fully supported feature and it will be removed in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The Btrfs file system did receive numerous updates from the upstream in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and will remain available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 series. However, this is the last planned update to this feature.

Red Hat will continue to invest in future technologies to address the use cases of our customers, specifically those related to snapshots, compression, NVRAM, and ease of use. We encourage feedback through your Red Hat representative on features and requirements you have for file systems and storage technology.
The headline seems a bit deceptive. No basic standard is set for IoT security, the government just started demanding a certain quality for their own purchases of IoT devices (i.e. not buying just any old IoT device):

> The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017 seeks to use the government’s buying power to signal the basic level of security that IoT devices sold to Uncle Sam will need to have.
The following will sound snarky but I would personally prefer ext2 if the other choice is btrfs. "ButterFs because your data melts away"
Explicitly asking the user before a plugin can make a network request would be great! I don't know what "sidebar enhancements" is/was, but it doesn't sound like that would need network access.
The GCSB had no reason at all to spy on Dotcom from a New Zealand perspective. The only case being brought against him is a copyright case from US claimants. Who do you think can request GCSB to do it's work for them? I don't think they would have spied on him and raided his home because a foreign business interest was concerned. Unless the request came from a 5-eyes level organisation, I'm pretty sure it would have been illegal for them to act against Dotcom.
