Yes. Some firms like Amazon profit heavily from the sale of counterfeit products and low-quality junk products that are shipped directly from overseas and cannot be inspected.

Most consumers won't realize that the USB charger they purchased for a fraction of the cost of a name brand product is why their phone's battery capacity declined so quickly.

With so many sellers on Amazon doing bait-and-switch, solving the problem is going to be very difficult for Amazon to solve without causing a disruption in the flow of low-cost electronics.
As a former Ph.D. student and now graduate, I would have to say the title is is not sensationalist at all. This aspect of the tax plan will raise additional funds (to at least partially offset the magnitude of the revenue reductions). Where do you think those funds are going to come from? They come from the graduate students who will now be taxed on these tuition waiver amounts.

It is extremely facile to just waive arms and assert that, somehow, the schools will simply get around the issue by changing their accounting. If that were the case, why would this even be in the tax bill?
The fact that graduate students may not be eligible for the EITC is irrelevant. The point is that the people who are eligible for the EITC are statistically much more likely to be underprivileged than graduate students are (as a group).

As to the plan to use the tax break to fund corporate tax cuts, it depends on economic conclusions that are beyond my understanding. I tend to be of the mind that we shouldn't tax corporations at all, and focus on taxing individuals.
I logged in to comment on the superb design as well. The design doesn’t only make it look good, every aspect is in full support of the content. And technically it’s executed perfectly as well. Very impressive.
Although they describe the process of how they went about collecting the data set, it would have been an extra special touch for them to release a formatted/clean version of it!
FWIW, at this point, the Firefox 57 betas are more responsive than Chromium for me. Not planning on looking back any time soon.

Sort-of, but it's a once-off:

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $2.5 billion of stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to the recognition of expense related to RSUs with a performance condition satisfied on the effectiveness of the registration statement for our initial public offering.
>even if it is slightly slower than Chromium

Funny thing is Firefox Quantum is both faster and eats less memory compared with Chrome.

>not one that treats you as a pawn.

And sadly, Firefox is the only browser that doesn't treat you like a pawn. For MS, Google, Apple, that chinese company which owns Opera you are just a pawn.

(later edit : fixed the second remark).
Nah, this is as 1.0 as you can get, assuming you're not asking for completely unstyled text. Forum scripts with this sort of simplicity were around for decades, with UBB being created in 1996 (and having significantly more features than this software), and basic scripts like WWWBoard dating back to 1995 or earlier.

It was AJAX and processing data via JavaScript that was a web 2.0 thing (for the most part), not just submitting forms in general.
Yeah I was looking at that too. The definition is kind of nonsensical. Slashdot met that definition in 1997 but nobody was calling it that at the time. Web 2.0 became a very popular buzzword with Digg, Flickr etc. Or at least that's how I remember it, the author is not "wrong" for referring to it by a very popular definition.

Also see:

I think everyone would agree that democracy and Ajax are elements of "Web 2.0."
Bingo. I think you hit the nail on the head here. To offset the decrease in revenues expected from the upper quintiles (and the corporate tax), they need to raise revenues elsewhere. This is not a change that can be addressed by a simple accounting trick.
It's great for the foreign worker!

Privileging citizens of your own country is no different from privileging members of your own race.

I built https://www.stackpair.com because I was over reading job listings to get an idea of what I'd be working with. It puts as much info as possible up front about the languages, stack, and tools used in the position. The search makes finding relevant positions easy, the query "go remote sf" returns what you'd expect, for instance. I also do a lot to feature quality opportunities, which traditional job boards can struggle with.

I've got a good-sized collection of vintage hardware and software. Microsoft stops supporting something? All well, I've got my older versions still available. They don't get updates, but for the most part, I didn't expect them to when I bought them.

> you pay only to keep support over the product you actually use and need.

And you pay it over and over again. Until you don't need it (which might be because they removed some feature you were relying on, with no recourse).

> but being able to keep running your old apps is not the norm

Losing access to my old apps isn't the norm, unless I choose to let go of control over my own computer's software.
Sorry for the late reply, I reckon I've more than halved the amount of set up code I have to write by switching to Mixer.
Yeah it's definitely been done more for marketing but Axa's CEO is on record as saying he thinks the blockchain and smart contracts will have a lot of valid use cases in the insurance industry.

I suppose in this case the nice thing with the smart contract (assuming it works as advertised) is it's simple and verifiable. You know you'll get an instant payout if publicly available data shows your flight was delayed > 2 hours (regardless of reason). There's no human in the loop and no signed contract with weasel words that gets AXA off the hook from paying.
Violent cartoons aren't new, but I am a grown man, and after 5 minutes of watching that I feel dirty and disturbed. I don't think it's the violence, it's the way they move. They move inhuman, it hurts my brain.

I understand that philosophy I think and platforms like Patreon do a great job of fostering community in that way, still people want something for the contribution. Even if it's a private newsletter, stickers, challenge coin, or in this case cannon fuse. I think when making a request like they are making here they are missing a huge opportunity to engage a passionate community of open source hardware hackers, and they could totally do that in a low cost way that protects their primary IP. I think the thing they are offering, maybe is something die hard Hyni-fans are into, but it literally some wire, bandaids, lights, and cannon fuse. It's just weird.

If they really don't want to share and engage that community, aside from the software devs, I think they have a really long row to hoe. I would imagine the concern is really neat IP because they have cool dudes working on it, but that locks you right in for a very classic funding model that needs a buttload more than $50k to get off the ground. Again, I feel like the original Occulus kickstarter walked this line fantastically.

As an AR/VR Researcher, I wouldn't touch this gizmo that's being presented with a 10ft poll.
I don't see how that constitutes a disagreement. The user in this case is Intel. The license gave them the freedom to make whatever proprietary changes they may have made to the software and stick it into their CPUs. That's of course not freedom in any general sense, but it's freedom for Intel to do whatever they wanted with it. Does that make my point more clear?
If anyone has set something like this up with emacs, would love to hear about it. I'm currently using org-mime, but would prefer to use markdown

> Hopefully Mozilla has done a quite impressive work on Firefox those past few months and I personally don't see any advantages anymore for Chrome.

I use nightly and it is pretty good. Quite a few things are broken in nightly in Android but I can use nightly as my main browser (besides for hangouts which Google has yet to implement). Edit, we have pocket on Firefox though so https://getpocket.com/blog/
Except it will likely have the exact opposite effect. International students often (sometimes?) do not qualify for tuition waivers, or they qualify for a reduced amount of waiver. Therefore, the bill makes it more burdensome on domestic talent and levels the playing field for international students. Expect fewer domestic graduate STEM students and more international. Is that good or bad? I have no opinion on the matter.
What to expect from a startup accelerator
Maybe they should have put 'most secure' first...
I haven't used it but according to their FAQ, the smart contract uses publicly available flight data from multiple government sources to determine if a flight is delayed. The payout is based solely on that and the decision is out of Axa's hands (their website specifically says: payout regardless of reason for delay, including alien attack).

You can sign-up for the cover up to 15 days before departure. Apparently you input your flight number and credit card details. If the flight ends up being delayed more than 2 hours, their smart contract triggers an automatic payout to your card, no questions asked.

Here's a list of LLVM bugs found using Csmith: http://embed.cs.utah.edu/csmith/llvm-bugs.html . Plenty of these are wrong code bugs.

Security-related compiler bugs very rare, but they do exist, at least in graphics shader compilers: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/homepages/papers/pdfs/2017/OOPS... . My impression is that many of these shader compilers are based on LLVM, but this is mostly conjecture. (I do recall a video game crashing on me with internal LLVM errors from the graphics driver.)
Thank you.

Ultimately though, my predicament does not matter. What matters is, if they are doing an immigration reform, that it is done for the right reasons, in a humane way, and with measures supported by actual data. Bonus points for a sane process.
Still leaves ~600mm in losses. Which is still greater than the ~350mm in losses last year.

The idea that money given to employees as equity is not "real money" is toxic.
Automated cars will be better than most of us in these conditions. If you live somewhere that only snows a few days each year, you can't drive in it very well. You don't even have the right tires.

Fleets will change their tires for the conditions and the automated system will be just as good at driving in adverse conditions as it would be if it drove in them all year. The sensors will see things human eyes can't.

I don't know how long it will take to happen, but it's inevitable.

I like it. The link in the comments there to https://www.3d.run/ looks good too. It doesn't seem far from those Cybershoes to the VR Shoes, like it says if you're just allowing linear motion they're basically reverse treadmills (or just how I look on rollerskates!).

Snap on shoe based personal transport, like Heelies with motors, I can see working but without some very complex Mecanum style wheels I can't see the VR Shoe being functional any time soon (unless they have a killer new concept they've not told us about yet).

I can't see one feeling balanced in this sort of get-up.
My data is anecdotal, but Snapchat is hemorrhaging "kids" to Instagram.
But isn't this a false dichotomy? I don't think anyone is arguing the shortage of homes in the valley is due to earthquake or fire proofing. You can build earthquake resistant skyscrapers and SF is full of skyscrapers, but places like Mountain View seem to top out at 3 floors. The regulations in question seem to be more about keeping things low rise for aesthetics sake (assuming you agree that the bay area is pretty as is, which I don't).
FF Quantum is quite nice, highly recommended.
"I'm aware" as my daughter would say. However I'm not a fan of 'imbued with greatness' aspect, rather my thoughts are that there are a set of characteristics, which I believe are learned rather than inherited, that give someone a more likely role as a change agent.Further those people have to be in the right environment in order to activate their change, much like platinum does nothing at room temperature to long chain hydrocarbons.
Bbbbbut, you’re agreeing with Trump when you say that.
Tell that to Microsoft, Oracle, SUN, IBM, Novell and SCO.
Probably never.

But we have other UNIXes, that moved away from a pure C model, Inferno, NeXTSTEP and its descendants.

Regarding Linux, the kernel might never move away from C, but Android, Android Things and ChromeOS have very little of it exposed to userspace.

And then there is Fuchsia and Redox.
The headline figure misses quite a lot:

Daily active users (DAU)(1) – DAUs grew from 153 million in Q3 2016 to 178 million in Q3 2017, an increase of 25.2 million or 17% year-over-year. DAUs increased 4.5 million or 3% quarter-over-quarter, from 173 million in Q2 2017.

That's good growth year-to-year, but not spectacular. Still, they aren't being completely killed by FB/Insta/WhatsApp

Average revenue per user (ARPU)(2) – ARPU was $1.17 in Q3 2017, an increase of 39% over Q3 2016 when ARPU was $0.84. ARPU increased 12% over Q2 2017 when ARPU was $1.05.

That's really, really good news for them.

Hosting costs per DAU – Hosting costs per DAU were $0.68 in Q3 2017, as compared to $0.64 in Q3 2016 and $0.61 in Q2 2017.

That's surprising and should be somewhat disappointing. It makes me curious as to the reasons - I wonder if it was international growth where they didn't have good hosting deals or something?
It is not that exceptional people don't exist, quite the opposite in fact. There are many many exceptional people made exceptional both by circumstance and talent in different proportions.

The best illustration of this I think could be learned from studying the development of physics between ~1850 to 1950. It becomes more and more difficult to think that each step wasn't inevitable as you learn about the sheer number of exceptional people and catalyzing changes. Each set of questions led to a new breakthrough and each breakthrough led to a new set of questions. It's hard to imagine the whole web falling apart for the loss of a single person. It was a great network of people and accomplishments influencing each other both average and exceptional.

A key that might make the big picture difficult to see is focusing on biographies which by name are focused on individuals instead of systems of people.
From the downvotes, I suppose people thought I was being sarcastic. Quite the contrary, I was really in awe about what a cool lecture (series) this is! If you're into that kind of topic, of course, YMMV. But if you are, you will agree that this is an excellent class -- it underlines (not surprisingly) what an outstanding place to study Stanford is.
That's something I don't understand either. The government here has completely forbidden tobacco ads. Why not do the same with McDonalds and all that stuff? Will we have to wait a few decades more for the gov to catch up?
H1-B visas are for technical expertise that's not available in the United States. Each slot used for something other than that purpose makes it harder for a high-skill foreign worker to come to our country and contribute to our economy.
Completely anecdotal but every time I go to 'youth' events. Music festivals, University Football games, concerts, the gym, these past Halloween parties, all I see are young people with Snapchat constantly running.

I'm 28 and only a few of my friends are heavy users but most people younger than me have accounts. I've met several girls who are weirded out that I don't have a snap.

Sorry, but it just doesn't make sense. You just can't make excuses anymore. What happened this time around is beyond acceptable imo.

Iceland, with a population of ~300,000, was able to qualify in (arguably) the toughest region in the world. The US has about 1000 people for every Icelandic citizen, and yet we couldn't even qualify in (arguably) the EASIEST region in the world.

I'm simply dumbfounded by how bad the US team is. Let's just hope we get there next time.
Over 100 trillion dollars for _maybe_ decreasing the climate 0.03 degrees in 100 years. Have we stopped thinking about the negative consequences when making decisions? Material human damage and suffering would happen in pursuit of this "deal".

Those are staggering figures to me and the trend is equally surprising. Maybe it's ignorance about hosting costs at such a scale, but i feel like cost/DAU should be declining over time, right? Is there something i'm missing here?

It's really not BS. People's feeds are flooded with content from tons of sources.

Why would posts from company that I've 'liked' get guaranteed display when family/friends/friends-of-friends don't get that treatment. Moreover what if I've 'liked' 100+ bands/restaurants/celebrities/businesses/news-sources, they can easily produce enough posts each day that I would never scroll far enough see all of it, nor would I want to.

The thing you want already exists and is called a newsletter.

Road travel is very rarely smoother than air travel though. I've actually been to Singapore on BA's lie flat beds, as well as bus seats that weren't far off in basic comfort, and train beds which were much more comfortable and generally smoother than both yet remain a very niche form of budget transport. Taking an order of magnitude longer than air travel means the overland options are still rarely a better fit (the sort of road trip that can be done overnight without interfering with schedules is also a nice short evening flight, and I'm happier emailing on the plane too).
I can see the appeal to some demographics for some itineraries, but can't see people preferring a series of road trips amounting to 40hrs over a 4hr flight being a mainstream market.

Waivers are generally provided in graduate programs where most of the students do not accrue education debt (e.g., STEM). Thus, for most graduate students affected by this, we are not talking about "more student loan debt" being the difference. We are talking about a difference between no student loan debt (the current situation for most STEM grad students) and a great deal of student loan debt (the situation if this passes). I do not think "destroy" is too strong of a word to use.

Iridium's stable release is based on Chromium v61 and Chrome is on v62. Sure they can boast about enhanced privacy, but I'm not so sure about security unless their base Chromium version is always up to date.
In my state the state legislature has repeatedly and dramatically curtailed state funding for the public colleges, which of course has led to tuition increases. Then the state legislature capped the percentage in-state tuition may increase on an annual basis. Now the public schools take far fewer in-state students and instead focus on out-of-state and foreign students who are able to pay the pretty darn near private school tuition.

Education is a global commodity and the pricing is set by demand. The fact is other governments are assisting their best and brightest to attend American universities, which are considered amongst the best in the world, while our government is making it harder for our best and brightest to attend our own universities. This doesn't seem like a good strategy for America.

Google created their own Linux driver ABI with Project Treble.

Basically, it transforms Linux into a kind of microkernel, with drivers being implemented on their own processes, using shared memory APIs to talk with the kernel, based on an IDL (Interface Description Language).

The fact that Chromium runs multiple processes is unrelated to any field trials. Chromium has always been multi-process; that's why individual tabs and plugins can crash without taking down the whole browser. Additionally, multiple processes are needed in order to implement sandboxing on Linux.

Field trials have long been a part of Chromium too: https://blog.chromium.org/2012/05/changes-to-field-trials-in.... They are used to experiment with different solutions or, sometimes, to allow a change to be quickly reverted in the field if it's causing a problem. You can manually enable/disable several of these on chrome://flags/ (although it's not advised).
Bugs almost always mean lost money. In block chains it is just more direct and visible.
