I'd argue that you're not doing GTD the right way if that's the case. If you're doing GTD, you should be making decisions about what you should and shouldn't be doing.

> Instead, let the brain do what it does best; forget. Put the really important things in the calendar, like Tax and VAT returns. All the rest in not important. Then pick two tasks for the day. It's all a bit fuzzy and that's what I like the best; it leaves room for my creativity.

That's what should happen if you're doing GTD. There's no way you can "forget" if you know there are dozens of open loops floating around. If you're not explicit about the things you have to do and the things you're not going to do, there's no way you are going to be able to focus on your work.
My understanding is that Walmart's store managers have significant latitude in regard to merchandising and pricing. This conforms to my anecdotal experience regarding variations between stores within the same metropolitan statistical area and across states.

Somehow the fact that Amazon and Ebay have different prices for the same items in their online listings seems to shed some light here, but I'm not really sure exactly how or why.
I use this trick when I want to buy something online which I don't absolutely need. I'll add it to a wish list on Amazon (or even put it in my cart) and then leave the site. When I come back a few days or weeks later, I often find myself asking why I ever wanted that thing in the first place and remove it.
Yes. You're missing not being brought up in the United Kingdom either before or shortly after decimalisation. pre-decimalisation currency in the UK involved Pounds, Shillings and Pence, based on the old Roman Librae, Solidus and Denarius. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%A3sd for details.
All a bit moot since companies aren't going public anymore, no? ;)
As early as possible. Things like AWS Lambda require you to really architecture for them in order to get the full benefit of it.

Lambda is also nearly costless if you have little traffic so it's not like you would pay extra for it. But serverless architecture isn't always the right decision.

Serverless shines when you have an unpredictable amount of async tasks to run, and those tasks can take a long time to run. Thumbnailing images for example.
For non-multiplayer games from EA, the games community is learning a bit, which is part of the reason why Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst and Mass Effect: Andromeda sold poorly (neither were bad games, just average)

The risk-adverse solution publishers are now finding is to just double-down on multiplayer and/or microtransactions.
I don't think I'd ever accept RSUs that I could not instruct my broker to liquidate to cover taxes immediately for. I'd either turn down the offer or require more cash salary instead. I've never worked in a place where RSUs weren't released simultaneously with vesting so that the broker could liquidate them for taxes on the gains realized by the value-at-vesting of the stock (the proceeds of the sale are also taxed).

As that's only applicable to publicly traded companies, I don't think this bill is a good idea. I think the start-up world's use of options and equity is not healthy, but there's a big difference between a person whose options/equity grants are a relatively small fraction of his compensation and true stakeholders/executives who have a significant fraction (often the majority of it) of their compensation in the form of equities. The tax code shouldn't treat these workers the same.
Has anyone else noticed significant CPU usage in the new Firefox Nightly? My computer fan goes full blast when I use the new browser. I like the speed but that level of heat is just not generated by Chrome.
Hmmm. A few years ago I was talking with a guy who worked on a system that pointed IR cameras at hands and did gesture recognition on them.

They were doing user testing, and one of the folks they tried it out with happened to be a wiring contractor who was in the building at the time. It didn't recognize his hands; the IR cameras could not see them. Turns out that the lubricant he was using to pull cables through conduit was blinding them.

I don't know what the lubricant was, but hopefully this reduces your search space dramatically :-)
I went straight to the comment without seeing this one. It seems that they are threatening to ban people for brigading, even though they may never see the warning, and even if they are truly voting accordingly because they agree or disagree with it. That's a bit messed up to me, especially considering they can just lock it. Although, I suppose a reddit ban wouldn't be the worst thing for productivity.
I'm not even a tin foil hat kinda person, and I'm not nearly as paranoid as many about "the powers that be" - but I thought about it for almost an hour solid this morning and this is the only reasonable consolation I can come to. It's odd because it's actually massively stifling the economy to protect what killed the economy.
No, Core happened before Mono integrated in to the Standard platform. I believe Mono started to use the open sourced components of Core/.Net framework to replace some of their components.That might be where the confusion lies. Then at some point after that, Microsoft acquired Xamarin and opened the Mono/Xamarin platforms fully (the Mono runtime used to have tricky licensing that meant that embedding it required a commercial license.)
It is definitely easier to sell "oh this is just an esoteric part of the tax code that effects a small percentage of people. You know, we are just moving around when they pay taxes it's not like a tax increase or decrease".
There is a fair amount of more recent research in support of a microbial contribution to Alzheimers, and rather than just mediating through inflammation, disrupting metabolism in ways that accelerate amyloid deposition. I believe this ties more closely with research into vascular amyloid, if you look at who is involved, which may be why you haven't encountered it.

You might see https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2017.00336 as a sample review paper that talks about oral bacteria that are capable of spurring amyloid formation in addition to spirochetes.

Lastly one of the complaints I've heard from someone involved in the cerebrospinal fluid drainage side of Alzheimer's research is that it is really, really hard to fight the amyloid clearance by immunotherapy dominant faction to get any funding or attention for alternatives. They just don't want to hear it.
That's not the point one of the reasons for Woking at a start up its to make FU money - and big companies also offer stock options not very few FTSE 100 companies don't have share schemes for their employees for example.
Adversarial Semi-Supervised Audio Source Separation for Singing Voice Extraction
Meizu has been using Samsung's Exynos chips for years now.

I think there are plenty of radio modem makers/competitors now. It's not to say that it's easy to make your own chips, but the real problem here is that Qualcomm does not believe in licensing their wireless patents to baseband makers. Qualcomm wants to collect royalties from OEM's customers instead for greater licensing fee.
Doesn't Huawei/HiSilicon make one? (apparently designed by GCT Semiconductor)
I did mean the group of terrorists who refer to some version of Islam (as by their interpretation), and regardless which subtype in this group, they all seem to be killing a lot of muslims, again without particular regard of which kind of muslim.

I admit this is an overgeneralisation, and there is a lot of subtle details with significance, but my point was simply that terrorists often don't care about their "partisan" civilians.
Its sounding like youre trying to start opening a line of debate of:

Interestingly, Dash had a pretty great weekend.
DotNet Standard seems, at least in my limited experience so far(<2.0), to be a bit of a clusterfuck. I was trying to write a quick library to do some things, and continually ran into issues where things would compile, and fail with runtime errors upon loading DLLs, or namespaces and types would be mysteriously missing when switching from a lower version of the standard to a higher, ostensibly more complete, version.
This is sadly true. I switched off Chrome 5+ years ago due to the "vim-like" plugins being much better on FF than Chrome (specifically, my keybindings not working on built-in pages) and since FF56, vimperator and pentadactly no longer function. There have been months of back-and-forth between some developers and the FF team, but the functionality required for these plugins has never been prioritized and I had to disable automatic updating and download FF54 so that everything would function. Today I just gave up caring and installed cVim on Vivaldi (https://vivaldi.com/) which is Good Enough for now.
Why not CommCom?

Red Hat CTO Details the Next Waves of IT Innovation
I think it depends on what you are trying to achieve. They are all slightly incompatible to some degree. I've written quire a few libs in .Net Standard and had them work on all three platforms, as well as writing Core command line apps and ported them to .Net 4.5. The issue is more with stuff like ASP.Net Core etc, where the libraries are slightly different conceptually.

For better or worse, EA owns a lot of the big studios and brands. They have an exclusive agreement with Disney on producing the realistic Star Wars games, so it's not as if diehard SW fans have a choice.

Though looking at their Wikipedia page [0], I think I overestimated how much of gaming they own. Personally, I don't play any of their franchises (some of that due to being a Mac user, and how few of EA's games are ported over to Mac). As a PS4 owner, Sony and Sony's affiliates (such as Naughty Dog), and the other big publishers (Activision, Take Two) give me enough choice to not have to play any of EA's games apparently.

Sure, I'm not saying that no one uses Firefox on Android.

But their mobile marketshare is totally irrelevant compared to Chrome, UCBrowser or the Samsung browser (even this one alone has about as many users as Fx Desktop).
Yeah, without the UI it's 80% useless.
"I don't think it'll ever be mandatory but I can see a day where the "discount" for agreeing to continuous monitoring and data upload is so great that it'd be cost prohibitive for the average consumer to not be a part of it."

I would be looking to my government to ensure such unwanted and unwelcomed intrusions into an individual's private life by private companies aren't required to achieve that. Whether that be through the nationalisation of such services or some other method. Anything else is an affront to the implied social contract which allows such private companies to profit from their activities in society.
The IR camera is near-infrared, it measures more or less light that your eyes can't see, and no heat frequencies. The IR camera is used to recover 3D information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured-light_3D_scanner
The typical way to do multiple instances for a given type is with trivial newtype wrappers for each instance. See the "Sum" and "Product" monoid instances (although these wrappers are also necessary for instance decidability). This is fine "in the wild."

Also, I'm not sure why you would ever want a "partial instance," as it would mean that your program could be unsafe but still typecheck (I haven't checked out Rust's implementation or motivation). Just use more specific classes, and you can even use a "generic" "instances of the components imply an instance of the whole" class and instance.
The Buck Institute has been doing a lot of great research on alzheimers. They are taking a very different approach though. Tinkering with everything from diet, to infections, to heavy metals, to hormone optimization.

It's crazy how much focus has been on clearing amyloid without much luck at all. 224 clinical trials and only 2 drugs going through.

Trillions of Flies Can’t All Be Bad
Honestly, this feels like an accounting trick to recognize taxes sooner. This helps the early year or years of the budget balance, at the determent of the later years, which usually don't count for budget scoring.

In this case, it also gives a fair number of people a bigger tax headache. In some cases, taxing earlier may mean future gains become capital gains when they may have been ordinary income; that's not good for tax revenue, even if you get some of it sooner.
That would be a logistical headache.

Current semi-trailers are low-tech, interchangeable and universally compatible.

Introducing a dependency on a specific subset of trailers for a specific tractor, plus the need for charging facilities at endpoints, would make operations much more complicated and expensive.

Linux too. Chrome was eating all my ram to the point where my laptop was dogging down horribly, sometime even swapping (excruciating).

The text of the bill specifically says that it is not intended to apply to statutory options (ISOs).

From page 123:

"However, it is intended that statutory options are not considered nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of the proposal. An exception is provided for that portion of a plan consisting of a transfer of property described in section 83 (other than nonstatutory stock options), or a trust to which section 402(b) applies, or relating to statutory options under section 422 or 423 for which there is no disqualifying disposition."
So you guys are a service that build apps on bubble (for people that I guess can't even deal with a GUI) and also sell templates?

Five Technologies That Will Rock Your World
It is.. but BGP is a sort of privileged system in that once you're peering with another provider, you're trusting them to not put garbage routes out. When they do, those garbage routes propagate. The decentralized-ness is a strength as well as a weakness.

Much like IRC, also a decentralized system, where a rogue server (a server has privileged access) or services package (same) can cause widespread issues across the entire network.
UK parliament to get binding vote on final Brexit deal
As a startup employee, I love this rule as this can help CEOs to go public sooner than later. Today VCs are the capitalist who take away all the growth of a tech stock till series’s D and then public pays a premium. If this rule leads startups to go public at 100Mish range instead of 2-10b, this could be great.

That's how the original Google Contributor actually worked, it would remove Adsense ads from all websites running AdSense. You could even choose what to replace them with (eg pictures of kittens). Matt Cutts posted about it here in 2015:

https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-contributor/

Apparently that model was a huge flop and people just didn't want it. The new version requires publishers to remove all ads (not just AdSense), which helps since many newspapers seem to have dropped AdSense & switched to Taboola & other ad networks. Which might be one reason Google is trying it again.

(I expect the new Contributor will fail too, though. I think the majority of people just don't want to pay for online content.)
A Monitor Darkly: Reversing and Exploiting On-Screen-Display Controllers
Hah! Can we can lump all of these into a new "Business Experience" category? None of the examples I looked at are good user experiences, they're just good ways of making more money off of users. Every design that takes more money from you is a negative UX. Causing the user headache or inconvenience in the hopes that they'll become a little less wealthy after the interaction and calling it UX is fucking ridiculous. This is UX in the same way a carrot and stick is to a donkey. And of course this site has a spam list^W^Wnewsletter, fucking marketroids.
It looks like up for running something like express/koa/etc while fx is for functions (like AWS Lambda). They are both "serverless" but that's about all they share in common AFAICT. Thanks for mentioning "up" though, I'd never heard of it before, very cool.
On Factorio and those kinda game:

To me, Factorio is very basically just simplified Eagle with monsters (Eagle is PCB designer software). You have underground belts (vias), smelters (ICs), inserters (Caps, resistors, 2 lead parts). Then you throw some monsters in there to give some random fuzz on the designs and make things a bit more 'spicy'.

Mincraft is much the same, it's a very basic Solidworks. You can extrude and loft with the voxels, put in some basic digital electronics (redstone), some basic fluids (water/lava), and make simple machines (look at mob-grinders). Throw in some randomness with the creepers and other mobs to make things spicy.

Kerbal is also the same. It's a basic flight simulator. You can mess with staging, centers of mass, and centers of thrust. You can do simple ballistic and orbital mechanics. Then you throw in the wonkiness of the physics simulator and the fan-named 'Kraken' and you have the randomness of monsters (I think they could have done better in this regard)

A lot of these 'indie' sleeper hits seems to be like that: Take some industrial design software, make it so basic a 7 year old can use it, throw in monsters to mess up the designs and to shoot/stab.

Other software that could be used for this process is Z-max (optics design software), some kinda Wall-Street software that's not just excel, maybe some urban planning but better/more random than SimCity/CitiesSkylines, other stuff.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Here is a wiki page of possible avenues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer-aided_engine...
I just installed Firefox 57 (thanks jacek for the link) and the first things I noticed are:

- The cross to close a tab and the one to create a tab are aligned in a weird way.

- Opening a tab is laggy (I'm on a MBP with an Intel Iris chip and 16GB of RAM).

- The scrolling still does not feel native (I'm on macOS High Sierra).

I'm very impressed by the work that has been done for this release as a dev but this does not give me a great first impression as a user (I haven't used Firefox these past 5 years). Google Chrome since its Material UI redesign (https://medium.com/google-design/redesigning-chrome-desktop-...) is snappy and has a clean UI, I hope that Firefox will also reach this point.

Anyway, this release is a major achievement. Congrats to the contributors!
I don't know if this is the same in every cities, but here in Seattle using Uber is becoming very annoying: in the past rides we tried getting in the past few weeks, the original wait time shows something like 2 or 3 minutes, but as soon as the ride is found it jumps to 7-8 minutes. And that stays blocked on this time for a couple minutes (or sometimes increase!). In the meantime, for Lyft rides it seems to be the opposite, usually we have to wait less than a minute for rides from the same place. This didn't use to be the case, I'm wondering if the majority of drivers have now switched to Lyft .
Also because Mozilla wasted a lot of effort on FirefoxOS. That's when the browser really stagnated.
Rust will find out why as soon as this gets widespread.

You can either have overloading classes or you can have your classes declaration independent of the type declarations. You can not have both.
Wish I could upvote this twice. The problem people have is all the stuff that needs to be done - a mountain of email, Christmas shopping, personal projects, and such. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

If you can't work because a dog is biting you in the leg, one response is "I'm too busy to fight with a dog right now, and fighting with a dog isn't much fun, so I'll just ignore it and focus on my work instead." Not sure that's the best path to productivity.

As long as we have things like that, and as long as .NET Core continues to pander only to the lowest common denominator of developers, then the Mono project is still providing value. It is not a matter of "competing".

Yes, that's exactly the point I was getting at. We're dealing with temporary values for which you'd use an arena/pool allocator in C/C++. The nursery is essentially an arena allocator that works transparently for temporary values.

My point is also not that it's always better, but that it's not safe to make blanket assumptions about GC overhead.

And if you're dealing with long-lived data of varying sizes, then the manual allocation story isn't that great, either.

"Hard" in evolutionary terms means that there are dozens or hundreds of steps, which are individually very unlikely, compounding to the improbability of them happening.

Evolution solves these things by brute force, but only if there is an evolutionary pressure. "Pandemicity" is at best an accident, from an evolutionary standpoint, and so is lethality. Both happening at once, thus, is very hard.

An engineer could arrive at a solution faster, given that he knows the steps. But knowing which steps to take is actually the hardest part of synthetic biology.
