For an obviously paid article / regurgitated press release, they sure do a good job of making this software sound totally unreasonable and ridiculous. I'm an employer and I wouldn't dream of touching anything like this. Not only are employees' personal communications absolutely none of my business but I'd also potentially be leaving myself wide open to a lawsuit with this kind of monitoring.

...And I say that as someone who has had problems with remote workers in the past.
To be fair, you don't know when they left, or how long they were gone.
Dude, you're treating it like a bug. It's not. It's intentional behaviour that started 2-3 years ago. Instead of giving you just the formerly relevant results, they give you all kinds of crap that they think you are interested in.

You can still revert to the original behaviour by selecting 'Verbatim' from the search tools menu, but you cannot make it default. And in time I'm sure some marketing head will remove even that option.

Edit: and if you never experience it, my guess is you're working with some technology that's "in fashion".
What's the meaning of life
for real
How’s this for a new M+A regulation: make it illegal to increase the size of a patent portfolio by m+A. Not to say you couldn’t keep their patents, but that the total number of patents owned by the new company couldn’t be any larger than the larger of the two companies.

If the M+A causes the divestiture of even a significant number of low value patents, it could mitigate some harm.

Is that reasonable though? I thought AMD was doing great with Ryzen and Epyc, and Vega is selling out as much as they can make.
Hardware is hard in ways that software will never be.

* The cost model is different.

* The hiring model is far more interdisciplinary.

* You can't apt-get your supply chain.

* There's near zero real world A/B testing.

* You're at the mercy of far more external factors.

Relative to SaaS, hardware seems Sisyphean.

This is a straw man argument. Randomly breaking stuff for the sake of breaking stuff is not what this is about. This update had a clear intent and only "broke the web" for sites running code that was already risking breakage by deploying an anti-pattern, namely blocking on scroll!

I'm no believer in Google's faux-altruism, much less sympathetic to their cause (see: AMP). The rollout could've been less agressive, sure. But I don't think equating a step towards sane default behavior with wrench-in-the-gears chaos adds much to the discussion.
This is what your internet service could look like without Net Neutrality
No, of course not. To my untrained eye, they looked like tourists.
Is Nvidia that dominant? I don't have any numbers, but I'd be surprised if they had more GFX cards installed than Intel. In the high-end market, sure, but that's not a very big part of the whole story.

And as for game consoles, both Xbox One and PS4 uses an AMD. Only the Switch uses NVidia.

They could leverage OpenCL and they both already have implementations.

Oona is definitely a personal hero of mine.
As a HW designer I’d like to contest the title; hardware is hard. Mistakes always happen on any project, but with hardware they’re very expensive to find and fix. Test equipment like oscilloscopes and bus analyzers are in the $100k range, furthermore building your hardware will cost $100k++. Hardware is hard. Software tools are generally free and fixes only cost engineer’s salaries.

Not that this keeps me from thinking HW ideas, and SW is great too.

Intel would've been wiped out in this segment by AMD. only choice to survive
AMD's performance deficit is about to get a lot worse. Nvidia's upcoming Volta architecture is massively optimised for deep learning - they're touting a 12x performance increase for training and 6x for inferencing over Pascal.

I think Intel have a better chance of catching up with Nvidia at this stage. They've been on an acquisition spree and have picked up a huge amount of DL-related IP. They have immense R&D and fab resources at their disposal.

Saudi is undergoing regime change, this is not mere "keep you on your toes." Bin Salman (crown prince and de facto head of state) is purging disloyalists and apparent obstacles in his quest to globalize Saudi relations (aka distance from US and closer to China/Russia)
It really is interesting how incredibly niche everything was once upon a time.
Those seem like Western-centric questions that may have almost nothing to do with this. Bin Salman and Talal, for instance, both have strong Western financial ties.

Simple power consolidation is one obvious alternative explanation. The Qatar embargo, and overall fear of Iranian ascendancy, is another potential motivating factor.

> They could have e.g. jitted scroll handlers to bail out of passive

Could they? From my understanding passive listeners do not stop execution, so even if a specific handler wants to bail out at run time it will already be too late to do so.

> once again minorities get to visit the mass grave

You don't think you're being a touch hyperbolic here? You can still use a non-passive listener if you want to, you just have to opt into it. Defaults should serve the majority use cases, that's the whole point of having them.
A library split between two countries
That would likely have the unintended consequence of spinning off a lot of new non-practicing entities with a large number of low-value patents in their portfolios.

Are you sure that's what you want? Those companies are more commonly known as "patent trolls".

It seems like the type of monopoly mentioned in the first article is "public monopoly" which is deliberately created by regional gov't. The telecomm industry is also heavily regulated, as is the finance/banking.
Perhaps most amazing is that the camera used is in the $200-300 price range and the lens was just the integrated lens using a zoom.

Being critical about considering what you need and what you don't need when traveling is "niche advice"?

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 3.3.1.2183 Free Serial Keys Here
I'm glad you mentioned RISC-V. Even if that doesn't displace ARM or x86, it means every company can have their own CPU designs (RISC-V makes CPUs a commodity). That means the only remaining IP blocks of high value are graphics and wireless. Every other part of a SoC is either available or easy enough to develop in-house. Got that? Graphics IP will keep a company profitable for the next 5-10 years, and both these companies have basic graphics capability. Wireless will keep pretty much THESE TWO companies profitable for the next 20 years. Their merger would result in just one company that could build a complete phone on a chip without licensing much - if anything - from outside.
I'm one of the authors. Happy to answer questions.
You have an interesting point of view. Why do you feel this way?
>The airline may have a clause somewhere on their website explaining that the above is to be expected. That doesn’t make it square for me. The behavior of the airline was, IMO, unethical.

Says everyone in every scenario where they run up against terms of services they agreed to but didn't read. I understand the sentiment, human beings don't like their assumptions being completed destroyed by reality.

And fyi, your situation would have occurred ages ago, as airlines have been canceling unused itineraries for years to prevent fare hacking, among other things.

>However, I shouldn’t have to do so or risk finding myself stranded away from home.

Because the airline should be omnipotent as to why you missed your flight and accommodate you correctly as to your uncommunicated intentions?

Funny how the simple truth summarizes issues like this.

How about we apply it to governance with complete transparency to the electorate. Nope, not going to happen. Because its exploitative and intrusive and will only be applied to the powerless lowest who have no choice.
Hmm, I don't know that "rise" is a good description. This is just a reminder that if you are using employer owned resources, you should not have an expectation of privacy. It has been this way for decades and is no different now. Perhaps, the only difference is the ability for a system to detect anomalies without human intervention.
Are the Eagles for Real?
Sort of?

Autocomplete=off is abused, certainly. It's commonly used to interrupt password manager functionality, in much the same way that copy/paste disabling is used on "repeat new password" fields. (As an aside: disabling autocomplete is a good idea, but only on the password manager level, not the website level. It's defense for user privacy, so employing it on well-meaning websites is worthless.)

But it's not abused in the user-endangering manner that circular redirects and back button hijacking have been. (Specifically, to make scam sites hard to escape and easy to click into.) It's just an inconvenience to users, and honestly I'm not thrilled to see browsers override code for non-security reasons.
You are right, but my personal problem here is autocomplete is automatically applied where it should not be. [1]

It would be a straw man argument as a reply to the article, but it's a reply to a comment that advocates breaking the JS to make developers use it less.

Unsure who you think should or would know Avago, but I am fairly certain they are far from a household name like HP is.
Who will buy the goods and services the robot workers produce?
Yes, totally agree with this. This is the most appropriate way to gamble. The casinos are viewed as an entertainment industry, and that's exactly what people should treat them as.

For me, I realized years ago that even when I won, I didn't enjoy playing. That was an odd observation/realization to experience when it finally occurred to me. I was down in New Orleans for a bachelor party and we all won a bunch of money because the table was hot - everyone roughly made enough to pay for their trip. Which was great. But then I realized that even though I was thrilled that I just got a free trip, it occurred to me I didn't actually enjoy the experience (time spent) of winning the money. I derived little to no entertainment/pleasure from it as it was happening, even though the process was addicting. Luckily, we managed to all agree to leave while we were up big.

I think if most people actually sat down and thought about it, I think they would find the same true for them. Ever actually looked at gamblers when they are playing? They all look miserable. High stakes, low stakes, slots, table games, doesn't matter. Most of them look miserable yet remain there.
how do you cope with something like gossip in consul when you have a

host <-> nat <-> internet <-> nat <-> host

setup?

the last time i tried, gossip would send a udp packet from something other than port 8302, so left to right would work ok, but nat would assume some state there, and treat right to left as a reply, rather than fresh connection, and stuff would get lost.

Although, it has been a couple of years and i'm probably misremembering the details.

I do remember it being hard to debug.

Not all transactions need finance from someone.

LBO is a good example. Small company A can acquire a much bigger company B by pledging assets of B to take a loan to acquire B. This has been used to take a lot of companies private like Dell and even Avago before they were re-listed.

The other example is cash and share. Small Company A can offer to acquire bigger company B by offer x amount in cash along with y amount of stocks in the joint company. In this case, company A needs to only serve up x amount of cash. This was the case when Avago acquired Broadcom - $17 billion cash and $20 billion in shares for total of $37 billion. Avago needed to pony up only $17 billion in cash, rest was taken care by conversion ratios:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/basics-may-broadcom-avago-mer...

The details of this offer are still not clear. Currently it is only an offer of cash and stock at $70 per share for Qualcomm. Currently, Broadcom has ~5 billion in cash and a huge amount of debt. There has been a lot of interest in the company's debt:

http://marketrealist.com/2017/02/how-much-broadcoms-debt-bur...

As the article says:

> The combined business would instantly become the default provider of a set of components needed to build each of the more than a billion smartphones sold every year.

This could give them monopoly on some of the transactions which they maybe aiming for. It remains to be seen if they will succeed.
I would quit, without second thought. I have always been of the opinion that you need to hire the right people and fire and bad ones. Workplace surveillance is a trying to fill a gap for BAD managers/mgmt. This crosses so many lines.
New Intel Core Processor Combines High-Performance CPU with Custom GPU from AMD
Qualcomm's problem is with their patents licensing respect to competing OEM's, not necessarily with chips sales, which is really a side business, IMO. One regulator, KFTC, has found that Qualcomm's "no license, no chip" is a no-no, but why would Qualcomm want to sell chips to customers who have no desire to pay for licenses?

Apple has to pay Qualcomm license fee for their patents either way -- whether Apple buys chips from Qualcomm, Intel, or otherwise. Apple is already receiving significant saving -- their royalty is based on the manufacturing cost that Foxconn charges Apple -- or about 1/3 of the retail price.

Some of Qualcomm's licensing practices are quite troubling -- no license to competitors, for instance -- but, with respect to Apple's lawsuits, I don't think Qualcomm will have to change their per-device royalty basis.

I'm fairly sure infix notation is easier to read for associative operations. It's hard to beat the simplicity of a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.

I'm also not convinced that (a x n ^ *) is going to catch on as a replacement for ax^n.

I think some kind of postfix notation could be nice for category theory though, it always confuses me that X -f-> Y -g-> Z is a diagram for gf, not fg.
How is this different from websites that think it's okay to force you to abide by ridiculous password restrictions (e.g. 6-8 characters, must include digits, upper- and lowercase letters, and special characters but no quotation marks or any known SQL keywords)?

The right thing to do is to bring the issue up with whoever is running the website. If they decide not to act on it because they think they know security/UX better than Google/you, they're stuck with crappier security/UX and the market should sort it out.

I've actually managed to convince a company to stop prohibiting copy-paste on logins by pointing them at the new NIST password guidelines. I don't expect this to work for every company, but if they intentionally don't change, it's okay to name and shame them for it. Whether it's a UX sin or security voodoo.

I live this everyday and they talk about it in terms of "insider threat" and "user behavior analytics". Yes , every last thing you do at work is being monitored and analyzed.

You see,I am at a point where I wish it stopped at work. $work these days spies on your off work activities as well. Essentially making you their slave.

If you don't experience this,then maybe your company isn't big enough to afford it(or if it is,please tell me more about this wonderful company that let's you do your job without 24/7 surveillance)

It's probably cheaper for Intel to ship the same ME on every motherboard than to customize it endlessly.
I think it's to a degree a function of significant volume of high quality material available in the open. It's hard to sell a book when you can go to Bruce Momjian's site https://momjian.us and get access to a ton of information and that is just one resource.
Unless the term 'generic programming' is older than I'm aware of, the word 'polymorphism' has been a technical term in programming language research longer than 'generic programming'. Certainly the word polymorphism has been in use longer than the language C++ has existed. Inheritance polymorphism / class polymorphism is one means of implementing polymorphism. It does cause a moment of confusion the first time you see the word used in a more general sense if you are used to thinking of polymorphism only referring to one kind of polymorphism.
