That arrangement is heavily critiqued, particularly that Bombardier is still controlled by private shareholders (and is receiving significant public funding).

It's pretty clear that airplanes are expensive to build, and every large plane manufacturer has government subsidies, but Boeing is being particularly anti-competitive in this instance and is getting away with it.
I consider learning new programming techniques as a normal part of my career so my personal goals are usually more about crafting and non-coding side projects. My main goals for this year are beefing up the skills needed for making cool stuff on my laser cutter, learning to sew and learning welding. My family is also working on building our crafting business, finally putting things online to sell and going to craft fairs.
In practice you would probably use something like Kerberos to avoid the quadratic overhead.
DPDK, which this library seems to be inspired by, has a virtio driver that will work for VMs.

Never used cloveretl, but I'm not sure why you see it as a setback. It requires programming in standard Java as far as I can see, so it's not a "we made our own silo environment" kind of project. Some skills will be transferable to other approaches and the Java extraction / processing will surely bring its own chunk of interesting projects. ETL itself as an idea is going to be similar across many solutions. And that's transferable experience.

It sounds like you need some ETL solution and you're either buying one or writing one from scratch. If you need it now and have money, you're probably just going to buy something.
This bit especially irked me:

"In iOS 11 X, almost every role of the home button has been subsumed by the display, with the remainder reassigned to the side button:

- Wake the device: tap the display.

- Go to the home screen: short swipe up from the bottom of display.

- Go to the multitasking switcher: longer swipe up from the bottom.

- Even better way to multitask: just swipe sideways on the home indicator.

- Accessibility shortcut: triple-click the side button.

- Authenticate: just look at the display.

- Reachability: swipe down on the bottom edge of display.

- Siri: press-and-hold side button."

5 out of 8 of those things are already achieved without the home button since the 6S.
Why do you keep insisting there's a problem with a battery? There's no problem with the battery, it behaves like any other battery in any other phone. The problem is that phone's compute ability stops matching its advertised value soon after purchase.
Yep, most people don't realize that:

1. Hotword detection runs on a minimal low powered local subsystem

2. The two provided hotwords run networks that have been trained on millions of samples in thousands of different environments.

That thing is very heavily optimized. Alexa and Bixbi get far more false positives and false negatives.
Even if they aren't projecting their stupidity, they're certainly projecting their interests. There's nothing preventing their interests from being at odds with society's interests.
> 747 sales were falling

A380 was officially started in 1993.

747 orders per year, starting 1993

2, 16, 32, 56, 36, 15, 35, 26, 16, 17, 4, 10, 43, 72

I don't see "falling". At best, I see cycles.

Are there any blogs that talk about what’s required in a crypto algorithm to withstand quantum computing? Is a straightforward increasing the key size enough? Or are there new paradigms explored? Are these algorithms symmetric or asymmetric?
Oooh this is amazing. Have any writeups on how you've accomplished this? Thanks
> Lets say there are 52 windows

The actual number is almost double that, but that doesn’t negate your point. More than weight, I think it was seen as a “nicety”. I think with the new Gen 2 (and soon Gen 3) Windows, people won’t mind them as much as the newer generations are MUCH darker.
Exciting to see more funds going to research, but cringe knowing the efficiency in how it is spent.

Due to procurement not having a research background, they often due poorly negotiating prices for basic scientific chemicals and supplies. The result makes it very difficult for researchers to buy from the open market such as Amazon, etc.

Here are 12 tweezers for nearly $700 list price: https://us.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?catalog_number=...

Procurement feels good getting 45% off of list price across all products, but they do not compare the actual price.
It's how I perceived the things that happened. Perhaps he takes his case to court and we can see what the court says about the ability to fire him over what he said.

Google fired him for making a manifesto about gender differences, political differences and Google's own echo chamber issue. That's not a lie.
Can you explain why wealth inequality is bad?

If me and the rest the million other people in my city have $100,000, some billionaire in a city somewhere else making another 100 million doesn't really have any impact on me directly. Yet it increases this inequality metric and I'm supposed to be outraged.

If the billionaire was using this position to corner the real estate market I'm trying to buy a house in, then I might be upset. But, I could also pool 1,000 of my friends together each with our $100,000 into a corporation and corner a market as well.

So why exactly is inequality relevant? Shouldn't we be focused on just raising where the bottom of the income range is rather than cutting down the tall outliers?

It seems to me like trying to make yourself wiser by killing everyone with more education than yourself.
You could do some much more interesting things with a hack than wiping and bricking a bunch of computers, even if the bricking part is doable.
Speculatively, by (i) having a more negative effect on the profitability of their major competitor in a duopoly and (ii) by having indirect positive effects on their sales of other aircraft. As unsuccessful airliner programs go, the A380 wasn't that bad, with over 200 actually delivered. Though it would have looked a lot worse if it wasn't for Emirates

There are also likely technologies developed for the A380 which will have long run benefits when adapted for newer generation versions of other Airbus aircraft.

No, you aren't really contributing. That business existed without your ownership stake. You inherited it.
It's basically this kind of confused, bullshit reporting which gives false hope to the FOMO crowd or draws ire from bitcoin naysayers.

One, the confusing narrative around blockchain. Settlements don't require any kind of "proof of work" mechanism. It's basically a shared ledger where only permissioned parties can access/write. Some are calling it "Distributed Ledger".

Surely, someone is going to point out that "proof of work" is not the definition/requirement for blockchain. But, using it interchangeably and confusing the bank "blockchain" with the cryptocurrencies "blockchain" is causing the confusion and euphoria.

Second, settlements don't even need "coins". Cryptocurrencies use "coins" as an incentive mechanism. In PoW, you earn coins for securing the network. In PoS, you stake your coins to secure the network and earn fees.

But, if you have a permissioned, private blockchain there is no need of "coins" because there is no incentive structure. Will DBS earn extra coins for each transaction in the blockchain because of staking or something? If not, then these "coins" are just numbers to enumerate position sizes. In which case, why even call them "coins" and not "settlement amount in x currency"?
"Boeing made a bet on the 787. However, as you note, that's an easier bet to make when you already have the 747. Boeing already had a jumbo."

It's also easier to make this bet when the passenger version of the 767 is struggling for new orders because of the A330. Boeing had the 747 against nothing, the 777 winning and killing the A340, and the 767 losing to the A330. So Boeing made a better A330. That's why I don't see the 787 as such an insightful bet in terms of capacity (size, length, weight and range): it really is pretty close to the A330. And a modern A330 can pretty much do anything the 787 can do, albeit burning more fuel on the way. The real risk was in the development process and industrialization of the 787 though, which proved risky and costly.
Bitcoin Trading Strategies in 2018: Hacking the Tactics of Top Traders
As a life long democrat, I agree with you. President Obama and the Democratic Party machine stole the nomination from Senator Sanders, in my opinion: Chris Mathews in MSNBC did a one hour a night attack on Sanders while the Clinton machine gave Mathew’s wife a ton of money to run for Congress. Vile corruption, in my opinion. I stopped watching any NBC altogether after that. Chris Mathews helped elect Trump and he still has a job. NBC nope.

They all lack on one point. Schnack: Requires Github or Twitter account it seems (not everybody who comments has a twitter account). Isso: In princible ok too paranoia (strange icons, no Gravatar or any log in at all). Commento: Does not know how to handle links in comments and no login system.

So they are all ok but far away from a Disqus alternative.
Power law/positive feedback/winner take all dynamics make it likely there will be one or a few dominant ones and a lot of would-be's. Bitcoin has maintained the first mover advantage as well as the strongest engineering community thus far, so it will likely be one of those.
Thanks for the insight and clarification. This has to be one of the most difficult businesses to be in, given a poor choice can risk bankruptcy for the developer/manufacturer. If relative success means turning a profit 20 years hence, that's one hell of an industry to be in.
I've removed most social media from my phone and turned off notifications for anything that I have left. The only thing really allowed to push me notifications at this point is Google Maps. I realized how much more productive I was through out the day without having to constantly check my phone for X social media thing that didn't ultimately matter.
Thunderbolts definitely has (big!) issues: I would say it's a mix of some under-appreciated but real science and a lot of loose theorizing that lacks the mathematical rigor, data analysis, and peer review needed to back it up. However, the idea that petroglyphs are human drawings of planetary-scale plasma glow discharges is actually a sound theory; and it's not Thunderbolts' theory, in any case. See my comment above:

“People used to think gold was worth fightin’ over, and that shit gets made by every supernova, which means pretty much every planet around a G2 star will have some.

There are definitely certain things that are easier to do with voice, and certain things that are easier by touch. Voice will definitely never replace 100% of interaction, the trick is knowing where it's most useful.

For example, one great example is, sometimes I'm watching something on my Chromecast and I want to skip a very specific amount. I can go "OKG, skip forward 48 seconds". Try doing that with the tiny track bar on your phone precisely...
Future of Nuclear Energy
I have had a decent experience with the 4GB ROCK64. Armbian provides a reproducible build that I've found to be perfectly stable in practice, and while I have yet to try booting the image, I was able to build the 4.4.x kernel version I'm running, on the device at that.

There's mainline kernel support in 4.14, but I'm unclear as to whether it supports USB3, which, behind the price point and the 4GB of RAM, is the main draw.

I only run the device headless, so I can't speak to the behavior or interactions associated with the graphics engine.

10 Mostly Easy Steps to Become an Indie Dev
Why blame the W3C for developing XHTML 2 instead of blaming the browsers for not implementing it?

XHTML 2 was the way to the Semantic Web. The point was to get rid of JavaScript, extend HTML and CSS and eventually replace them by XSLT and semantic open machine-readable (XML) data formats. The outcome would have been for web browsers to become mere document readers and everything else to be done with native applications able to read and work with interoperable formats. This would have given authors less control, browsers less power (and market share, if web pages did break), and advertisers less revenue.

HTML5 was the way to the web as a virtual machine for web applications, which gave authors increased control, advertisers full reign over users' web browsers, and an ever more complicated and resource-hungry web platform[1] tolerant of any web page however bad its code.

In hindsight the theoretical purity would have had real benefits for real users.

From the HTML Design Principles:[2]

> In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity. In other words costs or difficulties to the user should be given more weight than costs to authors; which in turn should be given more weight than costs to implementors; which should be given more weight than costs to authors of the spec itself, which should be given more weight than those proposing changes for theoretical reasons alone. Of course, it is preferred to make things better for multiple constituencies at once.

Theoretical purity is listed at the end as if theoretical purity had nothing to do with the users' interests. The wording makes it seem as if users cared about nothing but "costs or difficulties" (think about the poor users who will have "difficulties" if web pages break!).

Nowadays the W3C (EME) and WHATWG are both enmeshed in commercial interests and the organizations left that publish web and document standards are OASIS (which publishes the OpenDocument and DocBook standards) and the IETF.

It hasn't been a 1-for-1 replacement. At least for BA the 747 has been replaced by the A380, 777, and 787 on many routes. All 3 have different capacities to scale with demand; 787 < 777 < A380. And all 3 are more fuel efficient per passenger than the 747.

I've had the X for a few days now. The animation to press the physical button totally had me stumped the first few times! Overall I'm a fan (such as great camera and great screen) but some of the new interactions are taking some getting used to.
Here's the point though: if you want to do this, why not have a standard relational database at each bank and a standard for authorised endpoints in each paired bank? This tech was available for decades. Why interledger and blockchains to complicate it?
Saw their post on weworkremotely or remoteok, applied, and interviewed :)

I have a few non-trivial open source projects (a torrent tracker and a distributed key-value store) and two small side-businesses (one of which is built in Elixir + Phoenix and the other went under a rewrite to that stack). Showing that I can ship products tends to get me in the door, but a combination of luck, personality, and technical know-how moves me forward in the interview process.
The problem isn't necessarily capitalism, but market failure in housing. Economic laws dictate that anyone who wants to purchase a house should be able find one that they can afford (assuming good credit history, etc), instead through zoning and other measures regions like the Bay Area and others choose not to build.
Yeah not sure what's going on today. There have been a couple top posts that have been flagged. Does anyone know the procedure for posts becoming un-flagged?

It seems like there is an easy way to flag things, but the only recourse to un-flag is for mods to get involved. I'm curious to know if this impression is correct, and if so what the thinking is behind this set of procedures.
The problem with these NICs is that they are PCI or even ISA. Also, they are quite rare compared to, e.g., an igb/e1000e NIC. A driver for an igb/e1000e NIC would be quite similar to the ixgbe driver.

However, since the main goal of using these NICs seems to be support in virtual environments: just using virtio is better.
Which makes BTC purchased via exchange the Hotel California of Assets. You can check in any time you like but you can't ever leave.

Something is amiss here. Selling BTC to USD should be instantaneous even if cash withdrawal isn't no? Can you not look at the bid/ask and get executed at the bid on these exchanges?

I should be able to buy "cheaply quoted BTC" on Exchange A. Transfer to wallet at "higher quoted BTC" at exchange B, and executed a sale at the bid, even if I can't pull my USD into my actual bank account for a couple days.

How did the move of the sleep/wake button from the top to side EVER get approved ...? I’ve been ranting about this since the iPhone 6... I can’t count the number of times I’ve:

- inadvertently activated Siri while reaching blindly for my phone

- put the phone to sleep when trying to use the hardware shutter button while taking a picture

I don’t understand how this flaw has escaped widespread criticism...
This is exactly what is happening. "Blockchainism," a vague and shifting set of shared assumptions about voluntary custodial risk/reward sharing, vs "a blockchain", a particular encoding of a particular subset of these ideas into a white paper and corresponding client software, according to a particular framing of incentives motivating the people who created it, which may differ greatly from those who invest in it or speculate on it.

Blockchain is on its way to becoming a hollowed-out incantation, like "green technology" or "democratic" or "brawndo"

> Middle class people can take advantage of those investment returns as well.

By definition of the classes in a capitalist society, those who can fully take advantage of investment (capital) returns are the capitalist class. The petit bourgeoisie, or middle class, makes some return from capital, but that's limited (in the traditional definition, they are the ones who apply their own labor to their capital, though those dependent on selling wage labor who also have separate capital holdings that are inadequate without labor income for personal support are similarly situated.)

But the usual American definition of “middle class” isn't the Petit bourgeoisie, but some group around middle income, which is almost entirely composed of what are essentially pure wage-laborers without meaningful capital stocks who cannot take advantage, in any significant way, of investment returns.
"I think a big reason why people chose the dot is the price."

First off, while this may be true, we don't know yet. What this article says is that "Dot was the best selling product on Amazon". Google products aren't on amazon so it's not really a comparison. We'd have to get the numbers from Walmart and Target.

As for AUX out, while I agree it's a shame, I don't think it impacts as many people as you imply. Chromecast by itself is also amazing value and it brings even more value to the Home mini as you can easily send netflix, youtube and music to your TV (which is connected to your sound system).

While you can get away with the music, for the other actions, you would need a fire stick too.
I always tell that to young people that look at their peers and see them very well paid - not 140k here in Uruguay, more like 30k but most other young people would be lucky to hit 15k.

However, an accountant, doctor, lawyer or other professional will have an upwards trajectory while programmers have a tough-to-penetrate glass ceiling and will plateau VERY early (late 20s to early 30s) unless they switch to management or start their own company or move to the U.S.
