Not quite - the McDonalds of music might have the most plays on Spotify but there's plenty of challenging niche music as well (even if it's mostly neglected). It's more like Spotify is a major city full of diverse cuisine but 95% of its residents eat every meal at McDonalds.
The quid pro quo usually comes later, after they leave their government post. In the form of board seats or high level positions in the companies that benefited. So, hard to police since the payoff is down the road.

Probably a way to pay less taxes; they won't have to bring EU cash to US, and get to cash it out before Brexit.

It's also a nice acqui-hire; Spotify already snatched Echo Nest a few years ago, so they get to catch-up with Shazam.

I think the idea is people who don't have the same sex appeal feel they are finding it hard to compete. Also, they feel it is "changing" the feel of the site.

Not saying I agree, that's what it sounds like to me.
In college, I got to hear a guest lecture from the CFO of Nintendo of America. Some interesting take-aways:

- Unlike their competitors, Nintendo is not diversified in the least. Microsoft could lose a billion dollars a year on the Xbox and wait for a profit. Nintendo can't. So they try to position their products as complimentary to the other consoles.

- Internal culture has zero tolerance for self-congratulation. Apparently there was a memo once about the success of the Wii, and the person was disciplined.

- Very HQ centric. Nintendo of America is only considered a marketing/translation arm. They get virtually no decision making ability.
Yes, screening content is still hard and/or expensive. It's more technically feasible than before, but it's still one of the things small startups struggle with.
I've been freelancing remotely as a front-end web developer for over 3 years now. Here's my advice:

1. Get off of Upwork, now. You're only getting into a bidding war with low-priced overseas developers.

2. Instead, search remote job boards, Twitter, Facebook Groups, and LinkedIn for freelance remote contracts related to your field.

3. Find the client's email and send them your portfolio directly.

Following this strategy is what has landed me the most freelance gigs these past years.

There's also aggregation newsletters like RemoteLeads that send you remote freelance gigs a few times a week directly to your email.

Shameless Plug: I started RemoteLeads to make finding remote front-end freelance leads easier for myself.
It's interesting to see the timing on when mainstream media runs these things. BBC is picking this up when most of the intensity around the topic was piping up on Reddit over the last couple of months. I just find the lag between when something hits the BBC vs the people directly involved with it fascinating.

The devolution of stream content on Twitch is really is something that needs to be addressed though. Anyone that thinks that Twitch isn't turning in to a soft-core cam girls site can just load the IRL section of Twitch and see for themselves. It takes about a 30 second cursory glance to see the themes.

Note that this is a convention, not a requirement for the syntax (like in some other languages).

I've spent at least a few mins troubleshooting why `_.map` (from `lodash` npm module) didn't work inside of a fat function while fixing another developer's defect.

If you use `_` as a valid const/variable identifier anywhere in your codebase, I would recommend you ditch `_ => alert(1)` for something more obscure like `ø => alert(1)`
Free speech violates human rights. Got it.

Sarcasm aside, this ruling is the sort of insanity that one can expect from human rights courts in countries that lack a long-standing commitment to freedom of speech. The very notion of a "human rights court" is foreign to citizens of countries with nothing like the American Constitution's 1st Amendment and absolutist jurisprudence that we have here in the U.S. No such thing as a human rights court is necessary when the laws are themselves just and enforced by just courts. From the U.S., the notion of "human rights court" seems to exist only so as to impinge on individual freedoms rather than so as to strengthen them, and this follows from the idea that they should not be necessary in Western countries that should have just laws to begin with -- and this perception is supported by this sort of ruling.

One even expects that saying the above alone will be seen as evidence of racism/sexism/whatever-ism for even merely denying that a human rights court should be necessary in the West... implies denial of human rights simply because of the institution's very name. The very act of naming something in this way leads to suspicion that it is a euphemistic name, like all those People's Democratic Republics of yore (and, still, the DPRK), or the UN's very own not-remotely-sane human rights commission.
Yeah it gets into the hyper subjective realm of what is acceptable or not. If I sexually identify as a CAS aircraft, will they ban DCS A-10 Simulator as sexual content?

On the other hand, they're a company so they're perfectly allowed to decide where they draw the line and enforce that.

I just hope we don't accidentally cause a regression with women in gaming by accidentally enforcing a dress code that mostly impacts women.

I had searched for "Luther" because I had heard there was information about Martin Luther King in this release. I found this paper in which a Panamanian sailor swears his belief that an Alabama-based motor company was going to attempt to hire him to assassinate MLK. He did not go forward to Alabama to find out any details about the job because they wouldn't pay his requested $75 travel fees.

Probably just a kook. But you can't make this stuff up.

Nintendo seems more like a content company that likes to invest in expensive hardware experiences than a tech company. I'm glad they've managed to hold on to relevancy for another console cycle, but their days have to be numbered right? How many times can you mine Zelda nostalgia in an age when kids have dozens more, and often better titles available for $0.99? Have there been any major 3rd party games developed for their platforms over the last ten years? Is there a game developer that would prioritize Nintendo over either XBOX/Playstation, or iOS/Android?

It's not like they've done what Lego has done, in terms of being a company that was on the brink of failure to becoming the #1 toy company in the world and creating new brands that actually outsell their Star Wars license.

That said, Nintendo was founded in the 19th century and is still kicking. Don't want to write their obituary just yet :)
>Of course, there’s no guarantee that Nintendo’s current momentum will continue.

We have seen this story from Nintendo before so the cynic in me is hesitant to say that this is a resurgence that has any lasting power. The dual mobile/console functionality of the Switch seems to be almost as gimmicky as the motion controls of the Wii. The success of the Switch sales are largely built off two amazing games in Zelda and Mario while the Wii was built of the excellent of Wii Sports. It is also worth noting that those Switch games are single player compared with the multiplayer Wii Sports. It is therefore unlikely to have the same type of viral growth that the old console had when someone would have fun playing the game on a friend's system and immediately want to purchase one of their own. Meanwhile both Sony and Microsoft have released revamps of their consoles to increase their lead in performance compared with the Switch. That difference will only get worse as games start to target the newer hardware of those updated systems. I would want to give it another 6-12 months before declaring that Nintendo is truly back.
So I think Twitch actually will ban 'booby streamers' but I don't expect them to do it yet. The problem is that the community Twitch has built wants Twitch to be about games with little bits of other stuff but twitch wants to be a general service streaming site that just happened to start out with games. Sexualized streaming is a great way to branch out into non-game related livestreaming but also hurts the reputation of the site so I think allowing these streams is probably a temporary measure to build up the IRL streaming.
Contrary to the article's stance that this would be used to create fake revenge porn or celebrity sex tapes that are taken as real, I'd expect this to devalue the real thing and give space for people to claim anything with their face in it is fake.
It's not meant to have a scalable solution. Of course, some players will be able to afford an AI-based solution. Their fora will be insipid and dry.
From what I can tell the main ingredients are:

Filtered Water, Maltodextrin,
Soy Protein Isolate, High Oleic Algal Oil,
Isomaltulose, Canola Oil, Rice Starch, Oat Fiber,
Isomaltooligosaccharide.

So water, misc carb powders, protein powder, and misc high mono unsaturated fat oils. Yes they also add some vitamins/minerals etc. But essentially its just water, powder, and oil.

No such thing as a human rights court is necessary when the laws are themselves just and enforced by just courts.

The Supreme Court spends plenty of time laughing unjust laws out of existence.

Having a court setup to evaluate laws seems like a difference in mechanism more than a difference in effect.
And of course the brand died because consumers don't actually seem to want this.

Eh, the brand probably died for a lot of reasons. I think primarily because Toyota missed the demographic mark. Initially the brand was the less expensive, "hip" brand for the younger crowd (because a Toyota owner's club meeting would look about as gray as a Grateful Dead concert). We saw one before they were available to purchase in the U. S., and placed an order with the local dealer while the Scion-specific showroom was still being built. A few months go by and ours comes in. We, of course, look for other drivers who bought the quirky little box. Ya know what? The other drivers looked a lot like us, with a little gray in their muzzle. Didn't pay much attention to the xAs and xDs (conventional compact cars), but it looked like all Toyota did with the xBs was shift the market from Camrys to xBs.
Question is which customers are we talking about. Those who could afford a horse would have been happier yes, but I think Ford tapped into a whole new market

>A society is people. People being dependent on their society is somewhere between an oxymoron and baseline assumption. Everyone is dependent on the day to day cooperation of their society, in one way or another, even if it is "just" roads, and breathable air, and a political reality in which they can live their day-to-day.

In some sense, people depend on society to maintain their quality of life and provide for a subset of their needs; people also contribute to society and maintain it in turn. You're talking about cutting out the latter and keeping the former without replacing it with anything to support yourself with, which makes you completely dependent on society to provide everything for you, not just some things.

I didn't and I don't think most people do look down on those that cannot find work because there is no work to be found. Your 'I want to be able to choose not to work despite having the opportunity to work' perspective, though - that I look down on.

By the way, if you decided to work for yourself - to grow your own food, live off the land, and trade your labor specifically for your own sustenance, you could probably do it. That's a choice you continuously make.

>If capitalism needs more hands on deck, it can pay for them. It's time to stop assuming everyone should work, and let the market tell us why we should work (and how much it is willing to pay to let that work get done).

It already does do that. I don't volunteer at my job, I'm paid for my labor. The market tells you why you should work by pricing goods. You should work so that you can afford goods and services that improve your life. If you don't want any of those things, that's fine, but there's an argument to be had about whether my labor should subsidize your lack of it.

>companies don't have to do right by us, because they aren't our societies, they don't need us, they don't depend on us. The basic problem is that we are post-scarcity in the labor market, and companies have a "free lunch" by this "morality" that basic subsidence should be tied to some nominal value of productivity that they decide based on a quarter-to-quarter bottom line.

This is a weird argument to me, because companies absolutely depend on their workers. There are deficiencies in the labor market that cause certain labor to be valued at a higher rate than others; companies routinely hire from their competitors and give their workers raises or better offers. That's the labor market at work. It's not a free lunch.

>I think society should invest more directly in its people.

I agree. I think subsidized education is a pretty good thing, and it has positive impacts on society which is why we continue to do it. 'Investing in people' doesn't mean paying you to do nothing, though; that'd be a pretty terrible investment.
The reason is kickbacks. The CxO level gets either direct kickbacks (or, in holding company layouts, the mothership company) or by invitations to golf weekends.

So they try to keep people from buying from non-approved (i.e. no kickback agreement) vendors as much as possible, no matter if the company loses on the long term (worker happiness, productivity). Also, keeping records, both financial and stuff like license expiration is easier with one to a dozen suppliers than hundreds. The major enterprise vendors (eg MS, Adobe and Acronis) actually have dedicated enterprise license management solutions, which a tiny shop usually does not.
Do you believe that Adobe would lift algorithms from your non-open source JS if not for NS.js? Or are you worried about some other tiny company?

As someone who worked for a while on painting tech at a BigCo, the truth is that the chance that a BigCo would steal an algorithm from your one-man-paint-app's minimally obfuscated JS is extremely close to zero (excluding if it was MIT/BSD OSS license, and even then I would be pretty surprised if it happened). Anything half as novel as you are describing would be better leveraged by talking about some of it as siggraph and then acqui-hire selling your company for millions to a Adobe/Microsoft/Apple type.

It makes perfect sense to not open source it, but if you are trying to build this as a business any amount of time you second you spend trying harden your source from some hypothetical reverse engineering boogeyman (that is likely to never even be trivially attempted) is time that would be much better spent on marketing or improving your product.
It's incredibly weird since Apple employees are heavily discouraged from running Homebrew.
Edit: Wow...within 20 seconds of me posting this, an update to "Command Line Tools" version 9.2 showed up in the App Store app. So, if you have this problem, check updates again.

Anyone else getting a warning about command line tools?

$ brew doctor

tells me:

Warning: A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in the App Store.

Looking around, I see that there are two sets of the command line tools installed. There is a set in

/Library/Devloper/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

and a set in

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

The latter is what /usr/bin/clang invokes. The /Library/Developer set is older. The file date on clang is 2017-10-20 on that one, and 2017-11-17 on the one under XCode.app.

Homebrew checks the command line tools version by running "clang --version". It uses this one:

/Library/Devloper/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang

It has the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools prefix hard coded.

The version I have there is 900.0.38. The version under Xcode.app is 900.0.39.2 (which is the version Homebrew wants).

Looking back at my Time Machine backups, I see that /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr did not even have a bin directory until 2017-11-23 (it just had usr/share/man). The bin directory there, and its contents, were apparently created when I installed "Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra Version 10.13) for Xcode" version 9.1 from the App Store on 2017-11-22. That had clang version 900.0.38. That is also the version that was under Xcode.app at the time.

It looks like on 2017-12-06 there was an Xcode update (version 9.2) that updated the command line tools under Xcode.app bringing the clang version to 900.0.39.2 (which is the one Homebrew wants).

I haven't seen any updates for the "Command Line Tools" package, so what is the correct way to get the 900.0.39.2 tools into /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin, where Homebrew expect to find them? Is Apple just being slow to get the update out?
The problem is, there's a contingent of people on Twitch that will call any woman who's not completely flat chested or not all covered up a "booby streamer".
I'd go so far as to say that almost zero jobs need Computer Scientists.
Code Golf is about using the most terse syntax (and frankly, showing off while doing it).

This was a new syntax added to the language spec to reduce the amount of boilerplate required for common tasks.

Also, the "fat arrow function" handles "this" different inside of the function, so it can serve a slightly different function and in many event-handling cases it can be even more terse than traditional JS functions.

No, it doesn't. The amount private citizens are paid in a UBI would be very small compared to the economy. Inflation would still be a thing, but this is a small part of it.

Too late to edit, but this really should have finished with:

... at the cost of code that is more verbose yet the opposite of self-documenting, inherently frail even if you put wrapper-functions around those typed arrays, and likely to require massive changes all over the code-base for the smallest updates.
