Proper eSIM and eUICC implementations should allow remote flashing - there is a bootstrap IMSI and allow overloading of additional. Apple SIM (sans ATT on iPad) is an early non standard implementation.

But getting carriers to support the interchange is hard. Device manufacturers would love to remove the SIM card and make eSIM proprietary to lock their phones into a walled garden - “Pay to add your IMSI to this device.” Carrier do not love. Also carriers are telcos, not tech companies.

One exception : IoT. Distributed sensors that have 10 year lifespan need flexibility; and eSIM is a bigger push there.

Four Destructive Myths Most Companies Still Live By
I just re-read the thread, completely missed that 'serf replied with Lamborghini when you spoke about Ferrari. My apologies for the snark, it was uncalled for
I mildly disagree. componentWillMount() is slightly superior to the constructor, though only for very specific situations[0]. I would agree that for the vast majority of people who use ES6, the difference basically doesn't exist, but there is a real reason to use componentWillMount instead of the constructor.

0: https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux/issues/129

Edit: You might call dispatching in a constructor an anti-pattern (or having any side-effects at all), but quite a few people do it and it can cause very subtle bugs that aren't entirely reproducible.
"Internal" rebellions in nations tend to be sponsored and supported by other nations. A leaked diplomatic cable [1] from 2009 described Gaddafi as "an important ally in the war on terrorism, noting that common enemies sometimes make better friends." The "common enemy" Senator Lieberman was referring to are groups we were calling terrorists at the time. They're the same groups that we would decide to arm, support, and ultimately help overthrow Libya 2 years later.

This is hardly a secret and a retaliatory strike from Libya would have been justified. And ultimately that's what nukes provide. North Korea is not deterring a US invasion by threatening to nuke our invading soldiers. They're deterring an invasion by implicitly threatening to nuke South Korea. If the US invaded North Korea and it ended up costing millons of lives and billions/trillions of damage in South Korea, the responsibility for that change would lay with the US as they threw the first punch. On the other hand, if North Korea engaged in any substantial preemptive attack themselves - then any loss of life could be argued as saving even more lives; similar to how we ended WW2 by nuking hundreds of thousands of otherwise innocent civilians.

I think the goal is to incorporate modeling uncertainty and utilizing powerful bayesian inference techniques with deep learning. I understand the terminology sounds gimmicky, but the techniques are very useful and used in current research. An example of research of utilizing probabilistic inference with deep learning is trying model the uncertainty of CNN by approximating the uncertainty distribution of weights in dropout layers.

Is it that simple? I thought the SEC didn't fuck around just because people found a loophole, like with them recently classifying ICOs as securities
I think I should give you direct values, instead of simple speculation. I am masters student in one of the US citizens, and am being funded by my parents savings, so this is all very relevant.

I grew up in an above middle class Indian household with an income of about $10,000 a year. My parents lived very frugally (I lived in possibly the highest Indian COL area) and my parents started saving early. Over about 25 years, my parents have managed to save about $80k, which they are fully using to fund my Masters.

Funding your child's masters is a huge risk to an Indian parent. The deal is that I fund my brother's masters and take care of my parents after their retirement. Should I bail after my Masters, that would leave my whole family in financial ruin. At the same time, the blind trust between family is one thing that I think helps Indians manage debt better than Americans where family members usually manage finances independently. (for better or for worse)
Now most Indians aren't above middle class or frugal/economically aware to start saving at the rate my parents did. Loans at 10-15% interest rate are very common.

If you look at the odds in this sense, it is absolutely vital that an Indian gets a job in the US after graduation. The person might not settle there, but they would usually work there for at least 5 years to pay off their debts or responsibilities. I am fortunate enough to be in a well ranked university with generally decent career prospects at the end of my Masters (sadly no funding). But, if Trump were to change immigration and h1B policies the ones at less prestigious places would possibly have their lives overturned. If such a change does happen, I hope it does not retroactively affect those already in the US and rather is applied to those who will be coming. (so students can avoid US as an expensive destination for higher studies, all together)

If the spec and an implementation disagree, there is a bug in one or the other. (There are multiple implementations of the language.) The Go spec is not entirely normative in that a disagreement between it and the implementation may be resolved in favor of the later. It is normative in that you should be able to implement the entire language from the spec alone.
> I have no idea what Unix philosophy's got to do with Web Components.

From Wikipedia:

The UNIX philosophy is documented by Doug McIlroy in the Bell System Technical Journal from 1978:

* Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features".

* Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don't clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don't insist on interactive input.

* Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don't hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.

* Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you've finished using them.

I'd say that the first, second, and fourth are EXACTLY what web components provide. Furthermore, things like Angular and React that include the kitchen sink are precisely the antithesis of the Unix philosophy. And lit-html does only one thing and does it well. It is not a framework.

> Web Components provide a fraction of a fraction of React's capabilities.

That's a pretty empty statement.

> You still need data binding

Which is why I suggested adding lit-html

> You still need state management

React doesn't include this either. I would suggest redux, or even something hand-rolled, considering how simple redux is. Even Dan Abramov, the creator of redux, suggests rolling your own unless you really need it.

> You still need ways to deal with component hierarchies (good luck not forgetting to unbind all the event listeners etc.)

lit-html handles this

> You still need to re-implement your own forms

See: https://www.webcomponents.org/ for countless form components.

> etc. etc.

"etc" is used when you've run out of ideas.

> There is no way to have custom elements include data in form submissions.

You would be adopting a new technology with web components. Why bother with old-school form submissions?

You are very ignorant and come off as seriously aggressive for no reason. Do your homework.
I'm not sure Go has a spec. The page says spec, but the content says its the reference manual. So I'm guessing it's more focused on learning how to use the language then on writing an alternative implementation of it.
Not OP but I am also in OMSCS.

Yes, I am doing OMSCS while working. However, my current employer doesn't have tuition reimbursement. Though if you employer does cover tuition (like a previous employer of mine) you could absolutely get it for no cost to the student.

Also yes you are correct in many are pursuing the degree while employed. Usually taking 1 class per semester.
Thank you guys. Really appreciate for taking time to answer this.
Fellow Georgia Tech OMSCS student! I'm currently taking Reinforcement Learning (CS 7642). It's a pretty great program and have enjoyed balancing work with 1 class per semester.

Best of luck and power through the last 1/3 of the semester + finals!

Edit: FYI for those curious the OMSCS degree will cost most students $8,110 (10 classes * $811 semester).[1]

Anything can be overdone.
Ah, more amateur data analysts running a few time series regressions and thinking they're doing economics. Check out the big warning at the bottom of the moreuseful.com post with a very forthcoming "We have not established causality!"

The entire crux of Diamond, McQuade and Qian is that there was a pseudorandom assignment of rent control benefits to certain tenants but not others in the 1994 law. They use this variation to identify their models. This gives them a defensible causal story: here are two similar groups, with and without rent control, we'll study how their behavior differs.

You can see all this starting in section 4 of their paper.
Supply and demand. No one claims that housing supply growth alone would predict the rent increase in a given year. We claim that housing supply growth per job, per migrant, etc. would. YIMBYs are prone to leave off the denominator on the assumption (right or wrong) that there's not much housing policy can do about it, but the argument is fundamentally that the price comes from the relationship between the population seeking housing and the available inventory.

It's much easier to invalidate this strawman by invoking areas where nothing is being built but prices are flat or declining.

As the article mentions, housing inventory has not been allowed to vary much, while the labor market has been through huge boom-bust cycles. So yes, the labor market should be the best predictor of housing prices.
It’s not accurate because there is more, the front facing sensor array to make faceid possible is completely new, the OLED display is completely new.
So if someone were to link an article about how "prostitution and single motherhood rates went way up during the Weimar Republic before the Nazis cracked down on degenerate behavior" that would just be an interesting "historical detail" and would not be off-topic? Or is it only off topic to say things that discredit progressive politics.
How does this compare with https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro which does something very similar? It seems fairly complete, or at least much further along than neugram + it does lisp style macros! If you ignore the macros its language is pretty much go except that main(){ ... } is elided just like in ng.

May be worth checking it out, at least for ideas/inspiration.
One problem with this plan is that the debtor is obligated to repay the principal with interest.

If billionaires could do this, they would be doing it all the time. And the IRS would be screaming about it. Instead, they're stuck with higher risk options like illegal tax evasion or just paying the tax they owe.
I read it indeed. Before I respond please let me say that this is just my opinion, and I'm totally happy if other people think differently. Also, the point that I wrote and I'd like to stress is that there are some passwords, the most critical ones (i.e. Google, Facebook, banks), that I never want to store and just remember. The reason is that I've found myself in situation where my devices aren't available and I have a urgent need to access these services.

For all the other passwords I honestly don't care, deterministic or vault both have pros and cons, but in reality it doesn't really matter. First, I never experienced the same urgent need of access. Second, I could temp reset the password provided that I can access my gmail.

On point 4 specifically I have two things to say.

> With a traditional encrypted password vault scheme, we need two things to obtain site-specific passwords: the ciphertext of the password vault, and the master password.

To me this is not a feature at all. I want exactly the opposite, meaning I don't want to depend on a file to retrieve my passwords, at least not the most critical ones. So, I guess this is a critical distinction. Are you ok with this dependency? Then definitely go for a vault. Ar you against? Then you can't use a vault.

Second, and to your point. It's worth noting that, because you need the vault file, you probably have it replicated in multiple places or at least accessible by multiple devices. To me, this makes the probability to get access to your vault file higher than the probability to find out the master password. Or, said in another way, I wouldn't base the security of the system on the fact that the attacker can access the master password but not the vault file.

To limit the attack surface you have to create multiple groups with different master passwords. The one that you type more often are the one more exposed, so you want to group sites with similar security risk and frequency of login (this is another thing that often seems amplified, I don't logout+login every day in all sites, I typically keep things logged in).

I hope this replies to your question, happy to chat more.
I stand corrected sir!

It did sound a lot like you were describing the common issues with the knock offs though - however with the extra detail it really cleared it up, thanks for that.
The reason for this is arguably because we could not. North Korea borders both China and what was at the time the Soviet Union. The cliff notes of the Korean War (at least after the point of division and active war) are that North Korea decided to invade South Korea. They had South Korea on the brink of destruction and then the UN/US intervened on behalf of South Korea.

The US/UN enforces then pushed the North Korean forces back north and to the brink of destruction. Then Chinese (and to a much lesser degree Soviet) forces intervened on behalf of North Korea and pushed US/UN forces back beginning a sort of see-saw that ended up with neither coalition able to make meaningful progress. After some time of a back and forth, an armistice was signed.

I think it's somewhat unclear how the balance of powers changed in the time after this.
SMR drives have been shipping since 2014 (eg Seagate Archive HDD), and people are using classic filesystems with them to replace media storage, backups, and other largish file apps. It's much slower than traditional spinning HDDs at small write IO's, once you blow the write cache layer, but not tape-level terrible. You wouldn't use one for your root FS. But then again you wouldn't use a spinning HDD there anyway.

There are ideas about "host-managed SMR" too where the HDD device presents the low level SMR device, and would need customized filesystems and drivers. But the idea isn't very attractive in the marketplace.
Sure, but if A is worse, doesn't mean B is good.

In my recent job search, google's email response suggestions have been eerily positive, upbeat and on target while dealing with recruiters and interview scheduling. I don't know how fine tuned these things are, but it could probably help shift the average tone & sentiment of interactions on Github to preseed comments with suggested response options.

One concern would probably be training suggestions a toxic data set might only come up with equally toxic options, so some sort of sentiment estimator or pre-seeding might be in order.

Yeah, if you dispatch in a constructor and the effect is synchronous, it's going to setState somewhere and React will complain, whereas if you do it from componentWillMount, maybe React won't complain, but I'm not sure. My understanding is that componentWillMount was needed for React.createClass, but not so much ES6 classes. It seems a bit weird to be calling setState on a component within the context of another component being created. As far as I'm concerned, setState should only ever be called from an event handler, such as user input, an endpoint returning a response, or a timer event.

Re-inventing the way product teams work
I'm setting out on a mission to build Caffee, the best addition to your product team. Your customers, your team, yourself, and the rest of your organization all have something in common: You are humans. I think most tools dedicated to product teams have forgotten that in some way, and try to solve more problems by throwing features at them. I also want to solve those problems, but I'm going to do it the human way. That might take more time and effort, but I know it's worth it.

The first step is to build a better way for product managers to collect and make sense of feedback from their users and stakeholders. I'm starting in the smallest possible way with a better Trello integration for Slack.

Last week, I posted a link to my landing page in a few dedicated PM communities and, as of this writing, 95 PMs around the world have signed up. Some at Oracle/IBM/HP/SAP, some at small startups, some from the US, some from Australia, even one from Brazil. It's almost too much for me handle, and I'm having a hard time following up with every one of them, but I think it's off to a pretty good start!

If you want to join the movement, and help us build the best product for your team, you can signup at https://caffee.io
Battery usage is good so far, supposed to last 2hrs longer than the iPhone 7/8.

It periodically scans for attention, not battery intensive, and can actually be battery positive as it aggressively dims the screen and then turns it off if it finds it is not being looked at.
Some feedback:

Your site repeatedly crashed my phone browser. I had to check it out on a tablet to see it at all.

I don't see any means for writers to sign up.

I don't see prices.

As others have noted, your site has grammatical errors and misspelled words. Given that your product is writing, this is just deal breaking.

I work for a different service that I really like. I am skeptical of your business model here. In a nutshell, it seems rather canned and inflexible.

It also looks very controlling. I realize you are framing that as a feature, not a bug. It looks like a bad model to me. It also looks like a black box.

It also comes across as egomaniacal and braggarty. This just makes me feel like you are full of hot air.
Part of me thinks it's absolutely stunning that such engineering is even possible, and frankly, in a way, how much you get for your money. The future is here.

Then I realize, the only reason this is remotely possible is due to volume. So it almost says less about technical progress and performance per cubic inch per dollar coming down, and more about how volume makes the above possible.
