I'm pretty sure the main objection isn't how much money they took, it's that they've shown very little evidence of actually being able to back up their claims. How much money they were able to raise just makes it look more egregious.
So to bring a technology angle to this, there isn't anything remotely equivalent around this for Cybersecurity where it has some parallels. Everyone understands how bad a pandemic is - the risk of lives is obviously more important than data - however with the reliance of technology lives can be indirectly affected, such as the case of WannaCry shutting down hospitals and associated healthcare technology.

Vulnerabilities researched and weaponized by the government, ended up in the public, and caused global damage. There is no oversight into how these are produced or their risks.
They do not literally write the laws in most cases but I don't see how that affects the argument.
Well funded and by companies like Google. Hope this keeps going well for them!
"If you just change what country you live in, it won't be so bad"

It's against U.S. federal law for employers to discriminate against people aged 40-or-over on the basis of age. Having job ads that only younger people could see would seemingly fall afoul of that law:

I hope that was ironic, because if you believe that excessive taxes were what was holding down job and wage growth then oh boy are you in for a surprise.
MIT has a history of doing similar things:

Most businesses don't need to store sensitive private data, it's a convenience and marketing benefit for them. The few domains that really do have a need for this data can afford to handle the data properly; and all other business should consider the cost of handling that data prohibitively high, and simply do their business without that data.
> I somehow doubt you'd be equally in the spirit of discovery of the "experiment" were a commune or large-scale nationalization of industries.

No I absolutely would be, so long as it is formed in a traditional experimental design. I wouldn't want anything I was proposing above or you are here to just be globally implemented, since we don't actually know how it would work out. So, I freely admit my bias. But the only way to counter bias and make progress is with data and a process for checking yourself. For me, that is the scientific process, anything else is really just us following our emotions which doesn't lead anywhere fruitful, that's my point.

I think the reference is to how crappy the experience is when you pay for the product.

Just like the old days of pirating MP3s that's mostly gone by the wayside because they've figured out how to make the business work. If I could choose to watch any sporting event with any announcer for $1 or $5, it wouldn't be worth my time to pirate.

FWIW, I actually don't share cable TV passwords; I'm technically a cord cutter although I have a cable TV subscription that's not plugged into the TV (I use an antenna) because Comcast charges me less for internet service if I agree to let a cable box rot in a box in my attic.

I pay for the NFL.com Game Pass streaming thing, have Netflix UHD and Amazon Prime Video, and maybe 3-4 times a year I use my own cable creds to watch something on HBO.
I think species have died at such rates before, during earlier mass extinction events. It's natural they happen once in a while.

I don't understand why mangled symbol compression is needed. Sure, you need to demangle it for debugging and such, but... all you need is a lookup table, and then you can just hash them down. Yeah, then you need that extra metadata, but with mangled symbols you have it anyways. Hashing + lookup seems much less error prone.

Food Ingredient Reverse-Engineering Through Gradient Descent
I have no serious concerns with the US' good intentions, nor their ability to properly manage such a program.

What I fear, however, is that this action undermines the Biological Weapons Convention[0].

The convention explicitly allows for research such as this, yes. Nonetheless, it effectively worked as a moratorium on such research, with the US leading by example.

This program creates a situation much like nuclear research, where civil and military use cases exist on a continuum, with the first often being used to cover the second. Note how biological agents, where the US had the moral high ground, have entirely disappeared. Meanwhile, nuclear and chemical agents, which can be produced under the cover of closely related civil industries, are still very much threatening (and killing) people today.

I don't see a problem with them charging for these features. What I don't like is it appears to have been part of a longer term bait and switch strategy designed to hook users that might otherwise have chosen OSS, with gradual feature removal as the stick used to beat locked in users into paying.
I worked at BAO 6 years ago, it was my first job as a software engineer. I was working on 1m Schmidt telescope and even though we had many problems (due to insufficient funding) we were excited and motivated. Nowadays, BAO is mainly about "art stuff". I'm not against using outdated equipments for artistic use, but it's a research center/observatory and not a museum.
It's been a while since I've been in the AR/VR/3D space but last time I was there you just couldn't do high density text well at all.

Look at the effective resolution of your monitor and consider the percentage of the field of view that it occupies. You'd need to get something in the area of 6-8k resolution screens if not more to match the same effective resolution.
I started with CoinBase, not realizing that there wasn't a sell option in Canada. Ive moved to quadrigacx and it's worked well. 0.1BTC transactions are not a problem- I've seen sell orders on scale of 100BTC, so I'm not sure what CoinSquare is about with their limits here. It has several methods to sell/withdraw money to banks, with various fees and wait times.

The big thing for Canadians is on the taxation side. Trade on any digital currency is subject to capital gains- meaning they apply your tax bracket to half your profit.

If you trade digital currency for goods/services (ie. Use BTC as a currency), its considered barter trade. You get taxed on the converted dollar value of the transaction.

It appears Quadrigacx does not do any reporting to the CRA for your transactions, so of course all this would be self-reported at tax time.
I wonder if that has happened from ABP's approved networks. From what I recall, their criteria are rather strict, and I would expect a network to get banned if that happens.

To be honest, pretty much the only ads I notice are sponsored results from Google (static text). I also use uMatrix for untrusted sites.
There is always some sort of spread because arbing has fees, but 10-20% is unheard - had to be a momentary difference. I'm seeing $766 Kraken vs $789 GDAX right now. Both are easy to get USD in/out of* so pretty comparable.

Show HN: Art tool for making deep dream videos (Go, Python, HTML)
Very true about Theranos, but in that case they hadn't even revealed how the technology worked, and the claims they made implied not only a novel core technology but some kind of discovery in physics/science as well, by someone without a formal science background who couldn't explain the science behind her technology. How do you measure something that occurs once per million unless you collect at least a million samples? Most people who understand basic science knew that company had a high chance of being fake. And if I recall properly, most of their investors were from the conventional startup industry, not biotech, and they thought they could play house in biotech without understanding what they were investing in.

I would be inclined to believe the same of MagicLeap but in their case the science is already well understood and has been done in an analog form for a long time, using techniques similar to conventional off-axis holography.
Yes, the input features alone make Magic Leap a more interesting device to develop for than Hololens, even if the field of view is similar.
"Why do software developers get away treating their customers like stupid sheep"

Not only the software developers and to why?
Well because it works, because most act like sheep.

So they're giving the bonus this year, to reduce taxes and then reaping the benefits next year. Smart.
Business is business and if the recruiter knows both his sh*t and mine (from my profile) then game on.
Meh, is it really important.

There are many reasons to want younger workers, and there are many reasons you shouldn't want younger workers. I don't find it necessary for the government to step in to help one of the highest paid fields in america.
The main problem is Linux. Linux cannot be tested, it designates hundreds of variable setups of distributions, kernels and tools. It's not possible to test anything against that.

Crypto in general if you manage to cash out before the bubble bursts. But it can be next month or in 5 years so good luck.
I've used both the Hololens and the Moverio.

Hololens is kinda neat but gesture recognition isn't there yet and the limited FOV really, really sucks. That's the biggest problem with any of these.

The Moverio is setting out to be pretty modest--think "Google Glass screen projected in field of view, but not shit"--but the execution there is solid. It also plays very nicely with glasses.
Yes they've never given an equal bonus to every employee before and this was due to the tax cut. The capital expenditure certainly is because it makes it much more favorable to invest in capital with the complete write off. My dentist is buying some new fancy $200k machine apparently next year if the bill becomes law, so anecdotal, tiny sample size but that's something at least.

That said, I mean this is certainly a goodwill approach for the merger not to get shot down by the Trump Admin. 250M gift to employees and praising the man who needs to be constantly validated is a small price to get the merger rolling. I sense some downwards pressure from the president to allow it. I can pretty certainly say that's a major reason why this huge PR ploy is there, but the tax cuts certainly make it plausible.

Nonetheless, capital expenditure is great. $1000 is great for the 250k and for the economy. Better than increasing dividends though by my guess most of the money saved will go into buybacks and dividends. Not the 92+% from the bush repatriation (complete morons who wrote that), but a big chunk. That's not necessarily bad, should help stabilize the market and boost many portfolios, but more M&A isn't necessarily good for the consumer.

I'll wait and see how it plays out, but I'm very optimistic this will be great for the economy and the American people especially long term. The global min tax negates all tax havens like Bermuda, PR, Ireland, and no more trillions stored offshore. That part of the law makes up for the bad aspects in my opinion. Long term, that's extremely important for America.

Crazy thing to me is how cheap the middle class tax cuts are. Something like 30B a year. I feel like further investing in programs for such a small amount could really help the middle class who were hurt by globalism get the improvements many lost. Renewable energy jobs in the rust belt in 10 years time should make up a sizeable portion of what was lost since it's basically the wind energy capital of the world. A few billion in transmission lines and have it be the energy breadbasket area with solid paying middle class engineering jobs while increasing energy independence. Too bad we have a president who doesn't believe in climate change and High ranking democrats who'd rather create programs to benifit themselves. Nonetheless, good men from both parties are trying to get some stuff done.
It is so mind blowing that so much innovation that not only saved a floundering company, but set the foundation for several computing revolutions, came from such a small company.
To be fair, if all I have to do is give them my email address for them to get a bunch more money to make something that could either completely fail or revolutionise human computer interaction, sure, please have my email address.

They seem to be trying to bring a new thing into the world, I'm inclined to support it.
Anyone can pick up a magazine. The question is whether you can put an ad in Young People Monthly because you know it's likely to skew your audience in the direction you want. Without knowing much about the actual law, it seems like an area ripe for gray area maneuvering.

Specifically ad-targeting to 20-35 year olds seems like a much more clear violation of the rules, simply because it is explicit.
These points have all been talked over extensively and are not a concern: https://medium.com/@comefrombeyond/cfbs-comments-on-https-ww...
Yes: it is illegal in the United States to discriminate in favor of younger applicants. Tech isn't exempt from the law because it's "one of the highest paid fields"; in fact, that makes it more important to enforce the law, not less.

I don't expect people in multi level marketing aka pyramid scheme to work for free either. But, their are plenty of incentive structures with good and bad rewards. One option for a hypothetical digital currency is to stagger payments so a miner gets say 1/2 of their reward in 10 years.

I am only saying the current structure ends up as a scam, not that the eventual successful currency can't solve these problems.
in the described model the monthly revenue that the product generates is shared among the token holders because the contracts, of course you could sell the token later. So the contract is the added value here.

Is there any case law regarding this when it comes to physical publications? Because that case law could come into play in deciding the Facebook case.

Hypothetical example: a local employer puts up a job flyer at a college campus, but does not put the flyer up at the senior center across town. I could see a court ruling this illegal, if the employer did this specifically to try to attract younger workers.
It's different in that there's no plausible deniability; the intent, which is critically important in adjudicating whether something is lawful, is laid bare by the Facebook interface.
I am glad to see this continuing. I subscribed for a year and a bit and in that time spent enough money to actually buy a version of Logic Pro X on the Mac; instead I paid monthly to hopefully reach the goal of having a usable DAW on the Mac.

I eventually stopped when I realised I could have just bought Logic whilst spending the same amount.

I am impressed that others would continue though, that's for certain. I remember it being very useful on Linux (along with RoseGarden and Muse, back in the day).
Maybe something in between that and say have a custom version of the magazine for each reader then have job ads customized for person's gender, age, sexual orientation, race etc. At some point that becomes illegal it seems.
> Currently, about as many as those who use Rust

How do you get these numbers? To be clear, I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that this is really hard to do, and I'm always curious how other people do it.
The article mentions this scenario. It points out that anyone can purchase a copy of Teen Vogue (for example) but there's nothing you can do about ads that Facebook won't show you.
I think it's more likely iOS apps will run in a sandboxed emulator on the Mac. Xcode already does this, and it would trivial to build and bundle an emulated app for MacOS with the standard iOS build.

I can't see real unification happening. The platforms are just too different - not just physically, in terms of interface modality and available hardware, but in terms of design culture. For the most part, iOS apps have very little in common with Mac apps - and that will continue to be true even if Apple releases a series of Tablet Macs as the next evolution of the iPad Pro.

Going the other way makes even less sense. All the big content creation apps are monsters with hundreds of menu options and settings. There is zero chance of being able to port a functionally equivalent version to a device with a touch UI, a much smaller screen, and limited performance.

I hope this isn't based on a fantasy of being able to make everything look and work like Photos or Apple's office clone - because that will mean dumbed down apps on the Mac, and a total loss of faith in the Mac among professionals and power users.
Finally. The only reason why I ever had to open Chrome (besides testing).
I find that D is far less effort to write equivalent functionality then C++ with reasonable perf.
See the links in https://forum.dlang.org/thread/ov20hp$1ip6$1@digitalmars.com

It is also possible for D to be as fast as C++ in many domains: we have LDC based on LLVM for optimisation (parity with clang), but I think that one of the biggest things is the flexibility to have (and determine what is) an efficient architecture.
ATM withdrawal typically is free (at the same banking group).

The merchant fees are part of the total cost, so lower fees provide a competitive edge to the merchant. (the listed price also contains VAT, so you pay what's on the sticker, not like in the US)

Aldi (a discount grocery chain) didn't accept _any_ cards for a long time to avoid these extra costs.

In short: the German market situation is rigged in favor of cash, which is "free", which is hard to compete with when you're selling credit card services for a living.
It's basically Napoleon coming back to defeat Duke Wellington except he mops the floor with him.

This decrease in capability seems to be a weakness with Mac App Store as well, that and the ramp up from 0% to 30% of purchase price.

You can make it illegal for them to do so; many countries require lenders to ensure that they clear any marks on your credit if the claim is disputed and they can't prove it's you; saying "Bob took money from me and didn't give it back" is clearly libel if they can't prove it's true. You don't even have to go to court for that; you simply dispute it and either it goes away or they charge you with fraud if the prosecutor believes that they have solid evidence that it's really you and you're intentionally scamming them.
