Considering the recent Pixels were made by HTC, I think Google just wants to cut out the middle man and have its own phone hardware business for the Pixel. This allows them to compete with Apple by having an official flagship and by being able to produce this flagship without the added cost of another company's profits and the whims of cellphone OEMs too focused on their own branded products, and all the inefficiencies that brings.

HTC has everything Google needs for an in-house Pixel from soup to nuts and they're hurting for money. Its a happy coincidence HTC is collapsing right when Google is getting serious about launching its own branded flagship phones.

I also suspect aggressive moves like this mean that Samsung is probably going to pull the trigger on a full Tizen move and eventually stop producing android phones. The Pixel is aimed right at Galaxy buyers. I'm skeptical this is just a coincidence. The agreement that Nexus was kinda, sorta a developer's phone and will always be hobbled by mid-range camera, battery, and storage seems to have ended with the Pixel line.

I just received a Pixel after my 6P died and its about the closest to iPhone quality I've seen on an Android device. Its clearly a serious attempt by Google to have a proper branded flagship.
It's just an acqui-hire. "Google will keep the HTC brand and take on about 100 HTC engineers". Who won't get $3.3 million each.
According to the post they fetch from Foursquare API.
current age of what now? sounds like you have created a caricature so you can make fun of it.
Or the researchers were just generally guessing about the situation when talking about it one day and spitballing and a reporter wrote that up as 'researchers told... likely culprits'. That's seriously weak language, and when you account for reporters inflating things to make their work seem important, the reality was probably an off-hand comment with no backing or even significant thought behind it. Doesn't mean it's wrong, of course... just that if it DOES have actual factual support, that certainly doesn't give it to you.
why are you "split" on having a "complete free speech zone"?
> HTC is not exactly a world leader or some unique innovator here

It used to be. There was a time, not so long ago, where HTC Desire and others were the Android phones to have. Their engineers are great, you can't deny that.

I would recommend SEP (https://plato.stanford.edu/) for your exact purpose. Although not entirely structured as a guide on philosophy, it is very much akin to Wikipedia in that you can get lost for hours. I highly recommend stretching out on the patio with your laptop and a cigarette and make like Camus for an afternoon. As a philosophy major, it is an invaluable resource.
HTC is producing the Pixel phones, so making fatcat investors happy might not be the first priority for Google.

I also like how you framed something being good (only) for workers like a bad thing :)
I'm an engineer, so I'm not the best at explaining how pricing works for larger companies, but most customers do not pay msrp.

Our 30-day plan is $20/month msrp whereas Nest is $30/month. (Your Nest pricing is not current - you're probably grandfathered on that rate)

Our main market is businesses with multiple locations who need role-based access and/or LDAP integration for cameras with cloud storage.
Certainly, reinstating the draft would be a massive shift in how we've done things since the mid-70s. There's no guarantee that it will ever return, even if it was needed.

But at some point, if you really do have a military-industrial complex pushing for eternal war (I'm still not sold on how much weight this faction actually carries relative to the incompetence or malevolence of a handful of high-level advisers) and you're facing not only increasing public skepticism but a decreasing pool of qualified enlistment candidates, you've got to up the ante.

My kids will likely never be in danger of being drafted into the military. I've already advised them against joining it of their own free will, which I think is somewhat unfortunate. I regard most of the time I served to be well spent in terms of building self-confidence and marketable skills, in addition to the (older) G.I. Bill. But the country I served -- and the military I served in -- ain't the one around anymore.

Edit: oh, and a draft doesn't really endanger the children of the rich or connected. Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son" (1969) wasn't a revelation. Think Mark Zuckerberg's child will ever be drafted? The children of most of the people who have personal assistants in Washington DC? Hah.
You've got to be in the right job and the right unit. In my experience (~12 years across a handful of units and tours), infantry units are about ten thousand percent less political than POG units. Also Guard units are much more easy-going. I was not the only Mensa member in my last unit, and most of my best friends I met there. Being in the infantry in the Guard is a specific kind of environment, mostly college students and police officers. There is a tolerance for free-thinking and independent thought that is totally rare anywhere else in the Army.
I was going to say...even this article's optimism seems disingenuous.

>Battery life has been fine. “All day” is about right — charging at night, using it all day

That does not sound anywhere close to 'fine' for a watch. I get annoyed at my Pebble Time's battery life from time to time, and it still lasts at least 5 days/nights on a charge.
Custom dates is also extremely useful when you want an reverse date filter, removing recent results.
I continue to hear this argument, but it isn't 1980. The top tax rate is a little of half what it was then and the lowest marginal income tax rate is still 0% for those who make much below the national average. Those who are currently unemployed would not be directly affected by federal income tax rate changes (except perhaps if the "base is widened" as many fiscal conservatives want).

You can look at Kansas for the problems that are caused by policymakers blindly lowering taxes without respect for the likely consequences.

* Converting social program cliffs into gradients would incentivize people to seek alternatives to unemployment insurance.

* Amnesty for those currently on SSDI if they go back to work (going on disability requires filing a federal form stating that you are physically/mentally unable to work, so later going back to work is effectively fraud).

* Convert programs like {Section 8 housing, Food stamps, etc} to a UBI-like cash program without a cliff when you get a job. Don't penalize people for making a minimal amount of income.

Is this actually accurate? I'm on the Dell website[1] and all the Chromebook models seem to only have 4GB. Or am I looking at the wrong product?

> Why not deliberatively and carefully provide this evidence to the world instead of rushing into a war? What's the strategic value there?

Alternate view: what was to be gained by deliberatively and carefully providing further details on their intelligence sources for general explanations they'd already offered, when it was palpably obvious the Afghan government had no intention of changing the position they'd held for the last three years that there was no way they were going to betray Bin Laden to Libya, never mind the United States? Where was the advantage to engaging in a war of rhetoric with an government committed to protecting somebody that openly called upon his fellow Muslims to bomb the US, a government whose leader compared the notion of giving up Bin Laden to "the end of Islam" and was obviously going to dismiss any evidence presented as insufficient. (even more obvious with the hindsight of what happened a couple of years later when flimsy presentations of evidence harmed the US case for war in Iraq even before it became clear most of the evidence wasn't true)

It's difficult to argue the US action in Afghanistan solved much (though there are certainly people who have benefited as well as those who have suffered as a result) but it's even more difficult to argue they were in a position where they could show that fatwas against the US and series' of attacks culminating in flying jetliners into buildings didn't have any consequences if you weren't a government but had the tacit support of one.

If the SSD specs are accurate, this could be fantastic. The biggest problem with the last Chromebook was the storage capacity for Linux from what I can gather.
Also HP did.

That's a content-free drive-by comment. You only criticize without a single reason as to why the idea is "useless" and "harmful".
FWIW, "dig -x" does reverse lookups. Or you can use "ptr" record type and the .in-addr.arpa "FQDN". No need to switch to "host" for your reverse lookups.
"Let's see what google extracts out of HTC"

Patents and/or other assets may have been exactly what they were referring to.
I wonder what would happen if Amazon/Google gave 6 month (lowly) paid courses to help people with otherwise good experience or degrees pass their interviews. There's a lot of focus on whether people "get it" or not, but I'll bet a ton of people would "get it" had they the actual relevant training.

Censorship is one of those really hard social problems. A completely open web will be inundated with spam, pornography and propaganda. A completely gated web will only serve the gatekeepers.

What really solves the problem is a 3rd party gatekeeper composed of "Council of Wise People".(henceforth referred to as gatekeepers). Movie rating board is an example.

This leads to the age old question, "Who will monitor the gatekeepers?"

This leads to democracy, where the gatekeepers only have a 4 year period and new gatekeepers are elected again.

The government should have been the gatekeepers. But turns out, these gatekeepers care more about their own pockets (filled by the same corps they are gatekeeping).

Humans suck :P
I have a circadian rhythm disorder (non-24) and have tried a bunch of stuff that could potentially help with sleep, including magnesium in three or four different forms (including time release; they all seem to have the same effect). I also have a fairly good diet and likely get a good amount of magnesium from food.

500-600mg supplementation helps me stay asleep (but not get to sleep) but then I am much more tired the entire next day vs not getting the extra sleep. 300mg supplementation doesn't seem to do much of anything positive or negative.

From this experince, I would recommend:

1) If you want to try a supplement, I suggest powder so that you can try different doses easily. The form does not seem to make a difference for most people from what I've read. There are flavored powders widely available (look for store brands) that mix with a small amount of water.

2) If magnesium supplementation helps you then that could be
a sign that your health would be improved more by improving your diet than adding a magnesium supplement.

3) Pumpkin seeds are a good way to add magnesium and great snack food in general. I like PumpKorn Origional (soy sauce, garlic, and pepper) or Go Raw Sprouted Pupkin Seeds (a bag looks expensive but lasts a while so is actually one of the less expensive ones; the sprouted ones seem lighter). Also, if you add just about any squash to a meal you can easily roast the seeds with a bit of salt. Squash and brown rice plus some cabbage family veggie are a good combination. If you pick the lightest squash of a particular size they are more likely to have more seeds.

> The occluders from the paper completely absorb light. A more realistic occluder would also reflect light.

My understanding, "approximate occluders" aren't visible-geometry but stand-in replacements (very coarse to represent much finer-grained visible-geometry) during the GI pass(es). Probably even geometric primitives (sphere, box, torus etc pp) to, indeed, simply approximate occlusion.

Physically-based reflections across all geometry already works brilliantly well for the last few years in real-time.
HTC has an entirely different division for VR which is not included in this sale.

Most likely its the only profitable part of HTC and is mostly safe from anything negative this acquisition might bring.
Make it so while you're retraining for a new job, your basic needs are all met.
When the Chromebook Pixel is configured to run Linux through Crouton/chroot, it displays a warning on reboot and will automatically reflash the machine to stock ChromeOS without intervention. Not a great option if there's a chance someone non-technical will try to use the machine.
I agree with you. The only use I've ever had for a GUI is to look at a branching graph, which is significantly easier with a good tool rather than the git command line. But I'd love to have a simple tool to just browse the branch structure rather than a full-blown gui. (I mostly use gitk for this purpose.)
Companies already have multiple versions of the logo: print/web/monochrome/glyph etc. Since this only affects print, it would only affect the printed versions of the logo. The Brand guidelines could be reflected for the same.

The complete logo could still be used in print scenarios, but if it is something that is very print specific (brochures, magazine ads, newspapers), then you specifically pick the "eco" logo, as per your branding bible.

I agree on the Apple logo being terrible though. It could have been a bigger bite.
If only they didnt have their own phone hardware divison previously.
Here is what the arguments in the OP led up to but the OP omitted: Children from birth to age at least 5 need nearly all their time (A) with their mothers, (B) in play with their siblings and/or peers, (C) with other loving adults, and (D) active alone, in about this order.

With this, and with only a little deliberate effort, the children will naturally enough learn about emotions, language, communications with others, how to interact with others, and much more.

In one word, it's called motherhood.

Do I understand motherhood? Nope. Neither does anyone else, even including the mothers themselves. So, no one knows how to replace motherhood.

To replace motherhood, we need new laws from Congress, new Federal funding, lots of achievement tests and numerical measures, researchers in child development, educational theorists, educators with special training in pre-school, kindergarten, pre-school, No Child Left Behind, Common Core, some AI robots with life-like plastic skin? Nope!

My dude, that is just not how writing, conversation, or moderation works.
That's a good question. They've built an amazing system. Google and ex-Google engineers love the code intelligence/search systems that Google has, and those are powered by Kythe and related systems inside Google. At a product level, many ex-Googlers miss those systems in their new companies and fill the gap by setting up Sourcegraph internally.

Tech-wise, Kythe is optimized for offline analysis, and we use servers that speak LSP (https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol), which is built for online analysis and use while you're editing code. That is what I see as the main difference. We would love for the approaches to converge, or for the representation/configuration to be compatible.
In my town (Denver) ADA lawsuits is practically a competitive sport. Nuisances dont last long because the fine can be more than the remediation cost. And ACLU is a major participant.
> it's kind of been down hill in terms of software updates

I don't think this is accurate. Even phones that were released during Google's ownership didn't receive any updates (during Google's ownership or after). It seems like Google never intended to own it, they just scraped it for people and patents.
Though always well written, Daring Fireball’s articles are always sprinkled with some fanboyism, I do miss a real critical and objective voice in his writing.

Because somehow the voice pretends it is.

But actually the glass is always a bit more than half full, no matter what.
How does that actually compare to cost of living, tax climate, and wages for other jobs in the area, though? Posting the USD amount provides zero information. If the median income is $8k USD then $29k is pretty fantastic. If it's $60k...
I feel like inflation has remained low because wages have barely budged despite employers constantly saying there's a labor shortage [1]. It's almost like we're in a weird place where only the upper end of the economy is overheating while the rest is oddly stagnant.

One way to make CG images more real is to pass them through a neural network. Some GANs can do that. Apple had a paper about synthesizing eyes using such a process.

Here: "Improving the Realism of Synthetic Images" https://machinelearning.apple.com/2017/07/07/GAN.html

Also: "Visual Attribute Transfer through Deep Image Analogy" https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01088 (this paper even shows a refined CG Mona Lisa)
Also, you can set up Sourcegraph Server (https://about.sourcegraph.com/products/server) and then everyone gets the core features on all your company's code in their web browser.
I'm not sure I agree with caps. I do however agree with not providing any federal financial aid in such circumstances. I'm also in favor of the government funding industry-led studies to forecast demand for labor in those industries. The government shouldn't performing such forecasting, but they can provide minimal financial support to make sure every industry forecasts its labor needs.
When I was young, a long time ago, the term "politically correct" wasn't in use, except as the recorded reason Stalin gave when he sent people to be executed or imprisoned, namely that they were "politically incorrect." So I'm dubious about equating PC and empathy.
Fair enough, I knew my position was 1 dimensional.

Although you might be correct on all your points, it glosses over the fact there might actually be no proof at all.
A judge may not care about anything then. They may not care about a big disclaimer either.
Moving and finding a job in another country is not something trivial, especially if you get 17k/year.
KISS might work best for security cameras. If someone is breaking into your house, maybe you just need a battery powered camera in the hallway. Like game cameras, battery powered and takes pictures /videos of the perp. No power problems, no internet connectivity issues etc.

That's all a camera does, evidence, after the fact, unless you're Scarface and monitors everything.
What HTC has here is experience, facilities and a supply chain. Recreating a hardware company from scratch is not an easy job. You don't get any prebuild packages that you can just reuse. You have to assemble your own design team. Build your own supply chain. Conduct R&D for years before getting a viable, marketable product. Even then there is no guarantee of everything going smoothly. Samsung has decades of experience and facilities. Yet the Note 7 went the way it did.

I doubt Google or any of these new age silicon valley companies have the attention span to do something like this.
I always hear people recommend Hikvision cameras but then I wonder where they buy them from, because it seems there is a lot of this counterfeiting you mention going on. Hikvision even has a page about it.[1] Makes me wonder how many folks have knockoffs and they're not even aware of it.

I almost bought one from B&H Photo, but even they're not on the authorized partner list.[2]

> It's not clear that contributions submitted to an MIT project grant permission to incorporate those contributions under the same terms. We understand it socially, but it's not legally explicit.

Given that GitHub works only through forks and pull requests, this is not a problem. There are two repos A and B published under the MIT License. There is no need to address what happens when the contributor behind B sends you a pull request. (There is no need for contributor who published B to even send you a pull request; in theory, you could "reach over" and start incorporating anything from B into A without any participation from the person behind B—just like you [probably] did with all your vendored libraries.)

Worrying about this is one of the cargo cultiest memes, second only to all the videos on YouTube who think they're protected by a notice that says, "I don't claim ownership of this video; all rights belong to X".
To be fair: HTC is already a manufacturer for Google-designed hardware, which Motorola never was. I've said it before that this acquisition is best understood in terms of vertical integration than technology. If Google believes the future Pixel line (and similar devices) are going to make decent money, then buying HTC makes sense even if they don't change the working relationship between the employees at all.

Interesting. I didn't remember that his video came out only 2004. I thought it was much earlier. In any case there was not much controversy about the Afghanistan invasion. I don't recall much doubt about that. The real controversy was about Iraq later on.
