That's the general sentiment in France. Too often UK has used their veto to prevent some EU-wide change or to block any initiative that was not about purely trade. Most of the people who follow EU politics think that Brexit is an economical loss but a political gain.

Here is for example an opinion piece by Michel Rocard, a former French PM (left-wing guy, really not a nationalist), before the Brexit: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/27e68h/what_rocard_...
As a counterpoint to the article, I used Fi for two years and never had a single technical problem. The service was flawless and affordable. Then I realized Google now had real time location tracking and the ability to turn on my mic whenever they want, along with my email and search data, and that just felt like too much data for a single company to have.
awesome. it's probably not a reasonable request but if any of this was open sourced it would be a great asset to humanity!
Oh wow I totally missed that. Read it as the same blog post. I jumped right past the date line without even seeing it. The URL's anchor tag didn't update when scrolling, which probably contributed.
Why haven't you done all manner of things to improve the world at your expense? How much are you donating to Harvey relief? Why haven't you sold your gas car to buy an electric? Etc.

Keep in mind we're the last effectively communist country in the world, I'm not surprised in the least to see corporate taxes up there with the "banana republics" gp was talking about. "Social" money has to come from somewhere!

This is going to sound crazy and I have no idea of the "Willingness to pay to play" aspect but...

Nashua New Hampshire.

- Easy reverse commute from Boston

- Easy access to Boston schools

- New Hampshire is a business friendly state

- Plenty of cheap office space

- No income or sales tax

And, if a larger[1] company moves into the area it will make the commuter rail to Boston project the city has been trying to push a no brainer.

It is even already in one of the highlighted areas of the article (the Boston highlighted region covers Nashua).

[1] It is already home to the headquarters an entire large subdivision of BAE Systems, as well an Oracle office, EMC, Fidelity, and an Amazon distribution center.
I would abbreviate "FiveThirtyEight" as just 538. It's far clearer.
Then you make a note of it, and send them a letter (certified, receipt requested).
Reason isn't proprietary - it's essentially just a syntactical skin over OCaml to make it more appealing to JavaScript developers.

OCaml has some nice features - algebraic datatypes, complete type coverage, and pattern matching - that would be clunky to retrofit into JavaScript, hence this project.
The amount of renewable like solar they are adding I expect it to be a good thing plus from what I gather this ban will be in the future maybe 10 years down the road. By then their energy mix will be quite different.
Google Container Engine. You can spin up several nodes for a day and it will only cost you a few bucks. There's a learning curve, but the docs are quite good and once you set it up you can spin up and down with one command. Totally worth it.
I missed where the interstate highway system was a spontaneous, uncoordinated series of projects that individual states and private entities took up on their own!

Sounds like a perfectly valid strategy to me. You can create a longer lasting battery by investing in R&D or spending more on the battery itself.

No consumer is buying batteries by looking at what technology was used to create it. They're buying it for X range, X recharge cycles, for X dollars. Those are all of the variables. So giving them more recharge cycles for the same money IS better.

This is exactly the way the SSD market works btw.. in fact its worse, because the largest manufacturers are actively investing money to make shorter life (but denser MB/area) cells (SLC > MLC > TLC), while building more spare capacity into each drive to meet their reliability targets.

Without it, SSDs wouldn't even exist.

From an engineering point of view it really does not matter. The chance that the probabilistic algorithm fails is so insignificantly small, that cosmic rays hitting your CPU registers is probably a bigger problem.

From a mathematical/CS point of view, indeed it was a fairly recent, and fairly pleasant discovery that the primality testing algorithm can be derandomized while still retaining its low complexity (it was suspected for a long time, but proving it was awesome).
OK, I've been robbed at gunpoint. Also arrested at gunpoint. And a guy with a knife threatened to rape me, but didn't.

The first two left me very traumatized. The third, not so much. True, I would very likely have been traumatized, if he'd actually raped me.

Still, sex isn't the major issue for me. It's being powerless. But of course, I'm a guy. So maybe I'm just incapable of truly empathizing.
They're separate.
> Alright, then there is no 60 kWh version of the car.

That's implicit short-term thinking which I find strange given the speed at which such technology improves nowadays.

Even assuming the government made a law against artificial software lockdown punishable by death, this luxury vehicle would still come down in price and improve in quality well within the lifetime of most of the people who are currently drooling over it.

That's not an argument for making such a law, just a refutation against what is probably a false dichotomy between car and no car.
It seems unfair to punish a program lacking in free will.

I live in Atlanta. I was hopefully it would be the final pick...but when I got down to the section about being able to move around the city easily, I knew we'd be cut.

Not going to complain about traffic/mass-transit here...but it's a known issue and we supposedly lost another bid (can't think of the company here) because of traffic. We did get a few others...Mercedes-Benz for one.
The `[@@bs.get]` attribute tells the BuckleScript compiler (Reason's JavaScript backend) to emit a JavaScript object 'get' operation wherever its corresponding function (in this case `get_internal`) is used.
Can you submit a bug report when this happens and email me a link to your Facebook profile so I can look into it? My email is the domain in my profile, replacing .com with @fb.com.
It would be interesting to collect data to see how many continued using python from prototype to production. Python would definetly help to build MVP, when in production where actual concurrency matters; very few like Instagram have built robust python based architectures.

Btw, achieving decent concurrency in python is quite straightforward. Understanding of Greenlets, Gevent, uvloop Cython etc. could prevent headache in future.
Actually I would challenge the idea Houston doesn't have enough of the professionals required.

Houston was eliminated as not having enough white collar workers. Yet they left in Austin which is far smaller because at least 12.5 % base of their base has the right skills.

It makes sense to compare desired jobs versus the general population but not without context. Seriously with six million+ people here, do you really need 12.5% or 750,000 of them to be what Amazon would consider hiring when they only need 50,000 people?

I find the idea absurd: Amazon could fill their entire job quota out of the current worker pool.
A paper trail is good, of course, but IIRC, I did receive amended reports from each of the CRAs with letters describing the actions taken.

I also suspect that I went through the process more recently than Patrick, I think it was about five years ago. In my case, I was able to select the problematic accounts, what the problems were, and the desired actions all via dropdown elements. There was an additional text box for any extra explanation. This is what made it seem routine and not a big deal.
That's quite a complex plan, especially if the phone in question is making http requests and taking calls.
Or they could have given those people a free upgrade. It would have cost them nothing except the opportunity to try and wring more money out of customers.

The second-class nature of amazon.ca would indicate that Amazon doesn't take the market very seriously.
No, the intent of the law is absolutely unmistakeable especially in tax-related domains.
Bad-faith actors don't deserve the statutory crevices through which they divert their accounting. Fix the moral compass of their boards and officers or assign them a post-facto "we really don't like what you did there" penalty. Could be a fine, business restriction or mandatory supervision by the public authorities.

The notion that these companies should only be beholden to the strictest letter of the law is nonsensical.
Safari may be broken but it's not as broken as ie6 was back in the day.
Hey! It's weird: it's not the first time we get questions like yours and I'm not sure where such confusion comes from! Reason and React are two things. Reason's a syntax on top of OCaml, the programming language. ReactJS' a UI library. Messenger.com _is_ written in React, lots of which are, specifically, in ReasonReact, which is Reason bindings for ReactJS (the rest, plain ReactJS).

Reason's open-source, as well as ReasonReact(https://github.com/reasonml/reason-react). Using BuckleScript the OCaml-to-JS compiler, we compile to normal JS code with minimal runtime.

Here's why we made it: https://reasonml.github.io/guide/what-and-why
EU really needs to get into a fiscal and political union like India or the US instead of their current mish mash. That will take care of both tax gaming like this and stuff like refusal to take haircut on bad Greece debt to prop up the balance sheets of German and French banks.
If a 75kwh battery downrated in software to act as a 60kwh battery performs better, isn't that still "better" than a cheaper "real" 60kwh battery? Is that really different from using a more expensive cell design in the "better" battery?
Except that you never stop people from attacking certain religions here.
(a) Are they obligated to handle anything that they would handle over the phone via a letter too? I don't feel like many companies would be willing to do this.

(b) What if they just do all the typical customer service BS on the phone over snail mail? People spend hours or even days with a lot of back-and-forth to get non-routine stuff sorted out... if you do that over snail mail it could easily take many months to do things right. Not exactly practical, especially when you have a deadline coming up and it passes during this back-and-forth mailing.
Depends on whether the software limit restricts the level of charge or the level of discharge.
Ops

Same with Phoenix as Phoenix metro is 4.5 mil. and lots of room to grow, great cities in Tempe/Scottsdale/Chandler and more with an Amazon presence already here.

But ultimately they are probably right, Denver deserves it. Great quality of life, smart governance, good markets, healthy living and room to grow. Lots of people moving to Denver just like Seattle so it is very close to the same style of city. It is very, very easy to attract people to Denver.
Wrong! The law only protects actual deadbeats who continue to get calls after they request that they stop.
I hope their executives get criminal charges. Credit Reporting Agency has a huge responsibility to keep this data safe. Lets charge with their CISO...you know, the one that graduated with a degree in music composition and just recently took down her LinkedIn profile.

Rape often causes feelings of dirtiness, worthlessness, etc that other forms of powerlessness usually don't.
This is one of the better patent grants out there. If a company intends to use patents as a weapon, then Reason is not for them. Of course, if FB sues you first and you counter sue, the grant does not terminate. Seems fair.

I wish they go one step further and say, if you sue or threaten to sue anyone (not just FB) over patents, then the grant terminates automatically.
Who do you think helps create laws that have loopholes, and then heavily lobbies to maintain them.
Yeah. I would say that Monticello was Smalltalk's git. It does the same sort of method-level versioning as ENVY, but it's a true distributed version control system: there's no central server, no locking, and you can always push and pull versions between repositories and merge them regardless of where they came from.

Monticello preceded git by a couple of years, so it took a little while for the Squeak community to embrace it and figure out how to organize its self around DVCS-based development.
I agree. Not only is it the fastest, it's also the most reliable. I have Firefox thrashing about more often than not, and I refuse to use Chrome or its google infected variants.

Brave seems promising but doesn't yet have extensions.
I think it'd be an amazing PR move, to be honest, and one Amazon would profit much from and suffer minimal risk. Amazon has been criticized lately for eating retail and causing economic upheaval. Going into Detroit turns all that around.

Shinola has been capitalizing on Detroitness. So has Chrysler, successfully.

Things are moving back from burbs into the city and gaining visibility. These are the successful test cases. "Imported from Detroit"

(The bankruptcy itself hasn't prevented much from improving in Detroit. The bankruptcy turned out to be the launchpad.)
It's doubtful Facebook actually has any relevant patents to license (or revoke a license for) though. OCaml and JS themselves act as prior art for any conceivable thing you would patent for Reason.

Remember that copyright and patent law are separate things. If there are no actual patents, then Facebook's BSD + Patents grant just becomes a normal BSD license.
It's not clear to me that the batteries in the 60kwh version aren't 'reject' batteries that weren't quite up to snuff to support the full 75. So just because Tesla pushed out this update doesn't mean that every car is actually capable of getting the full 75. Where-as the cars sold as 75 are guaranteed to reach that.

I don't know the details of Tesla's batteries exactly, but I'm pretty sure they're just use a ton of 18650s. If too many of them won't hold a charge, then instead of fixing it they can just call it a 60 rather then a 75.
You generally can't operate a running business in EU or any other country out of the Caymans. You could have share holding companies registered there but to actually run a physical business, you have to actually have a company registered in the market (or come in as a purely imported product)

Ireland works simply because it is a member of the EU and any EU HQ business can operate anywhere else in EU.
I wish they go one step further and say, if you sue or threaten to sue anyone (not just FB) over patents, then the grant terminates automatically.

It's better not to use software to force people to change their behavior. It's open source software. That means something. Or used to, at least. We've come from the ideals of the GPL down to defensive/active countermeasures of corporation vs corporation conflict.
Reason is basically a syntax transformation from a JavaScript-like syntax to the classic OCaml syntax. Thus, they can sit on top of any existing OCaml compiler (e.g. ocamlc, ocamlopt, BuckleScript) without having to fork anything. The Reason team is working hard right now to build up a community around ReasonReact. On top of their upstream contributions, they are generating massive publicity and goodwill towards OCaml the language itself.
Well, this is why most people (including myself) put rental property under an LLC. I wouldn't let a tenant sign the lease as a corporation unless they were a legit corporation - you know, companies rent houses all the time for executives that relocate, etc. If the tenant breaks the lease, I'd sue the company and their assets.

Real world example: I did a summer internship one year and the company rented a few houses for the interns. Myself and 2 college guys were in one. Landlord claimed damage on the air conditioner because it iced over due to not changing the filter...ended up getting money from the company.
I have always wanted a stamp that physically cuts out a complicated pattern as a signature.
I wonder if you could get around it with a relay and some resistors to trick the system into thinking the charge is lower than it actually is
To be clear, I'm talking about strong/weak typing and static/dynamic typing as distinct concepts. My comment mostly applies to dynamic-typed languages.

In JavaScript, `1 + {}` gives the string `1[object Object]`. In Python, `1 + {}` crashes. Neither language has a static type system, so neither language is able to disallow an expression like `a + b`; it needs to actually execute the code to find out that you're adding two things that don't make sense. I think most examples of "Python is stronger-typed than JavaScript" are of that form; Python crashes while JavaScript silently does something that may or may not make sense. Accessing a missing property, accessing an array out of bounds, and calling a function with the wrong number of arguments are also examples where Python crashes and JS doesn't.

So "crashing less" is pretty much inherent in my (simplified) definition of weak typing, and not meant to be anything controversial.
Also, they eliminated PGH based on the 1 million population without accounting for the city borders being much smaller than normal cities due to how Allegheny county is structured. The metro area is ~2.5 million and is about the same size as most city borders.
Most of their criteria aren't that flexible. Nobody is going to reroute interstates or move airports for Amazon. They might be able to get a transit line extended or a new station added to an existing line. Population/education might be negotiable if there is a site with awesome transportation.

Cell coverage would certainly be fixable, though, if the local officials commit to reasonable planning approvals, and can convince carriers to play ball.
It depends how you define profit, and to me this is absolutely about taxing revenues instead of profit.

I see profit as the 'value added' by a particular activity. At least 90% of the value created by Google, Facebook and Apple was created in California. Therefore the vast majority of worldwide income generated by these companies should be subject to the tax rates that apply in California - not Ireland, not Germany, not Spain. So Google, etc should be paying more tax - but they should be paying it to the US government, not the EU. If there is ever an EU Silicon Valley then the EU can tax the worldwide profit of those EU companies.

Personally I would like to see a rule that intellectual property is fixed to the place where it is produced and forever taxed in that jurisdiction - just like land. If you write a book or develop a new drug or software then that IP stays where it was developed.
I have Google's phone service and it's horrible. In Europe I would lose all service for days at a time. In the US it just randomly loses all service every few hours for a few minutes. People will call me...and I'll stare at the phone and it won't ring. Then I'll get a missed call notification. I have told my friends that I am sure I will someday die while trying to call 911 over and over and over again.

Google should be ashamed of how horrible it's phone service is.

> The notion that these companies should only be beholden to the strictest letter of the law is nonsensical.

Right, they should be beholden to the letter when it benefits them and the spirit when it benefits them. Seriously -- you wouldn't want to live in a world where this isn't the case.

* Nobody should have a technicality in the letter result in fines and punishment when they were following the spirit in earnest.

* Similarly, nobody who takes care to follow the letter exactly should be punished even if it violates the spirit. Because otherwise people and companies have no clear way to know what is and isn't allowed.

It's only when someone is violating both the letter and the spirit that there are grounds for punishment.
Glad to see Columbus off the list and hope it stays that way, if we must give tax breaks, I'd rather it be to small businesses, not monopolies.

I haven't lived in Houston in 30 years but wouldn't it have been eliminated on the mass transit/transportation/traffic congestion round or possibly the amenities via outdoor recreation round and definitely the culture of inclusion due to the GOP state priorities on bathroom bills? I loved Memorial Park when I lived inside the 610 Loop but the options after that at that point in time required a significant amount of time in the car. The other amenities of restaurants/arts/music were pretty good, though.
The comparison I like to use is horses. Horses used to be used for all sorts of things. When steam engines first started pumping water out of mines, they were given a "horse power" measurement of how many horses they could replace for the job, but they still couldn't replace horses for everything. It didn't take long for other, specialized machines to replace almost every other need for a horse. Now they are essentially novelties. You'll occasionally pay extra for a worse experience because it's fun and novel. The exact same will happen with human interaction. It's already started with "hand woven" and the like.
It really doesn't. Big dig and associated/dependent projects have taken care of a lot that.

Also "Boston"!= Boston...which is basically a euphemism for Eastern Massachusetts, Northern RI, and Souther NH. You could do this project in Nashua, Worcester, Providence, Waltham, outside 128, and it would make double or triple the cost sense of downtown Boston/Cambridge/Somerville.

Pluto’s Surface Features Get Their First Official Names
If the Primary Account Number (PAN) and CVV go directly to the merchant and bypass your servers, then you can drastically reduce your PCI scope.

Most solutions have a merchant server that allows a cross-origin POST or uses an iframe. In either of these methods you exchange the payment information for a low value token that you then send to your server. Your server can exchange that low value token for a high value token and use that to charge people's cards. This is better for everyone involved because there is less of a chance that the PAN or CVV will be exposed.
More importantly, the BBQ in the Triangle is superior to that of Charlotte.
The Teslas will suffer longer battery charges (much more than 20% longer) and significantly reduced battery life if on this new firmware. It would take improvements in hardware (or drastically reduced durability) to make it available for everything.

I just wish I could pick these modes for my phone, especially if it's a non-repairable battery. My Lenovo laptop actually has something like this - it puts the laptop to sleep at 20% and only charges to 80%, unless I choose otherwise.
I absolutely love it. I only use it for data and I travel a ton. Never having to hunt down SIM cards every 3 days when I hit a new country with a flat global rate is great. And you get 10 free data sims, so everything that can possibly get a sim jammed into it has one and works in every country.
