For your first point is this from a Mac or iOS device? At least on my iPhone there's a Downloaded Music section that I use just to play anything I already have. Not sure if there's an equivalent for Mac's iTunes, though.
If you can't provide specific pricing maybe give a few sample pricings with different scenarios so people can at least ballpark it before requesting a quote?
Something like Scrabble tiles, perhaps?

I wonder if you could create a set of symbols which were sufficiently distinctive enough that you could hand-draw them and stand a chance of the computer recognising them. Difficulty level increasing again...
I already have and am satisfied with Alexa, but HomePod interests me because of Apple's general stance towards privacy. Has there been extensive discussion on how Apple plans to differentiate Siri's data usage/sharing vs Google and Amazon?

But honestly, the main obstacle for me is Apple's lack of 3rd-party integration. For example, it appears that Siri can't be used to access Spotify. With Alexa, I can scope music requests with "Alexa, play some jazz from Spotify (as opposed to Amazon Music)". I can even configure Alexa to use Spotify by default -- e.g. prioritized over Amazon's own offerings.

I've a pretty large iTunes library from back in the day but I've completely stopped buying from iTunes (and haven't bothered to check out Music) because of lack of interoperability.

It's relatively easy to build one yourself. I did it, it works great.

I used 2 ESP8266's - one in the temperature sensing and control box in my office, and one controlling a relay inside the boiler. When it's too hot the relay is opened to switch the boiler off, when it's too cold the relay is closed to switch the boiler on.

I also like the milestone, but I don't think it's achievable. As the article mentions, it's on a similar order of magnitude to google and apple.
Is this a race to the bottom? 19 cities won’t get any tax revenue by definition. The one that gets the building will probably wave taxes so it’s getting the same amount of direct tax revenue as it was before namely 0. So the city does get sales tax revenue from the new jobs due to new spending. It might get income tax that it didn’t get before. Where is the bottom?
My first job out of college was a contracted position and it sucked. The salary was average and the benefits nonexistent. I was let go along with all the other contractors when the market the company was in took a downturn and it was probably the best thing that could have happened to my career. The job helped me build some work experience for my resume but I would never take another contracting position unless the pay was extraordinary or I had no other choice.

Is anybody really interested of facebook or they technology anymore ??
seconded. I don't know whats been worked on in the past year, but its gotten a lot snappier overall.
That's definitely possible they've already more or less decided. Either way, they're pulling off an impressive optimization to obtain maximum taxpayer funded subsidies.
> Choosing to work instead of goofing off for 5 minutes every day adds up to 3 more full days of work per year. That’s a big deal.

You know what else rocket ships do? They burn out.
Oh I agree completely, it should be fine. But mega-insurance already managed to lobby basic universal health care out of existence. And now that those safety nets have been removed, employers want to have their cake and eat it too by not giving health insurance to their employees. I'd rather the american people have some access to healthcare than none at all. So until the people figure out that universal healthcare is the only way to go, unfortunately this is the best option.
Hacking Nuclear Systems Is The Ultimate Cyber Threat. Are We Prepared?

Not a big Siri fan myself but isn't the whole point of the Homepod to combine music + Siri? From Apple.com: „...It’s the ultimate music authority, bringing together Apple Music and Siri...“

so 1) (iTunes != Apple Music) + 2) don't really make sense
Did the tax bill move forward with the tax aimed at these endowments? I remember hearing about it early on, but have no idea if it made it through.
> Wouldn't long-term thinking not overlook details like that?

I suspect it depends on what the long term goals are. If quality is one of them, then over time, as they improve their processes in favor of quality, these kinds of quality problems should become less and less frequent.
Amazon already has a better sounding Echo and so does Google so I am not seeing a value prop from HomePod. This round has been clearly won by Amazon with Google inching very close and based on reviews, Google assistant seems way better than other assistants in general. Since Siri uses Google search now, it may only be slightly better than Alexa.

Too late and too little by Apple, they missed this boat. Cortana seems pretty fun on the surface but is nowhere to be seen in this AI race. Guess Microsoft got their strategy wrong yet again.
Agree. The last Apple speaker was $350 and lasted on the market for 18 months.

>most of that isn't dystopian

Remember that time a city in CA sent Cointelpro-esqe letters to the registered owner for vehicles their plate readers recorded going down a particular street?

There's nothing that prevents similar bad behavior from HOAs or cities/towns that have access to other data sets.

I don't want a HOA sending me brochures about recycling because my smart house reports that my ratio of trash to recyclables doesn't meet some arbitrary value. What goes on within the privacy my home is my business and mine alone to the fullest extent possible.

You can't abuse a data set you don't have. The value to society vs the potential harm of many datasets is so low they shouldn't exist at all.
protect myself so that i don't give into their stories and end up buying something i don't want or end up buying something at a higher price than i had initially decided.
If there is a fatal flaw in Bitcoin somewhere, there are hundreds of other attempts to improve upon this idea by forking the code. We will surely see dramatic changes in valuation amongst these different coins as the crypto community develops, but to think that ALL the coins will fail in their game-changer level ambition.. this does not logically follow.

In all possible worlds, individuals will fork Bitcoin and the competition for economically and technically sound digital monies will only increase. And in all possible worlds, individuals will manipulate markets with very low volume, ie. Bitcoin for most/all of its existence.

This is all deterministic. It could not be otherwise.
> That in turn led to the end of the British Empire

I'd say that's a bit of a stretch, given that the British Empire lasted for more than a century after that. Certainly until after the Second World War, and arguably in rump form until the handover of Hong Kong in 1997.
The key part of that comment is "without providing adequate disclosure" - it is acceptable for a public company to do everything listed above as long as the change in business model and the change in risk profile is properly disclosed; as long as what they're advertising (we're now working on a new super cryptoproduct!!!) to potential investors is actually true, and the shareholders (both current and future) are on board with what their company is doing.
Chromium adds support for initiator blackboxing
I wonder how country-specific your advice is.
https://xkcd.com/538/

I don't know why I have to keep explaining this, but cryptocurrencies can and will be regulated using exactly the same mechanism that basically everything else is.

The government makes some rules, asks you politely but firmly to follow them, observes carefully to see if and when you break them, and then beats you with a (usually, but not always, metaphorical) rubber hose until you choose to comply. Nothing about crypto interferes with this process, even theoretically.
Of course, and that will work. However, what if the vulnerability artefacts need to be converted into issues in GitLab? That will require a much deeper integration then printing the details in the build log. Dropping a file will be easy. We can provide just a switch for that.
/r/Cryptocurrency is literally all price-talk and shilling -- very few posts of self-reflection or technicals.
It's probably more that they don't want to deal with people showing up after a product/feature launch claiming compensation or threatening to sue, and to not have to avoid doing something just because someone might have submitted a similar idea earlier.
> Now you can argue that you think a national, government run, single payer insurance company would be more efficient, or more fair, or result in better health outcomes, or... but that’s an argument for a different kind of insurance company.

Anybody arguing for that as an alternative to our current system is... uninformed.

We already have it, and we spend more per capital on (non-universal) public healthcare via that government run insurance than many countries with public universal health care (including Canada, and the UK).

Obviously it is not our lack of "publicly run health insurance" that is the problem here.
By combining it with the worse assistant available?
It took a while to design the language, which went through significant changes in both semantics and implementation (Parrot was abandoned for MoarVM, until recently, the main banch of the repository still was called 'nom' for 'new object model', there was a Great List Refactor, ...)

The language was finally deemed sufficiently stable in 2015 to have its first proper release (the 'Christmas' version 6.c). We're still waiting for an implementation with adequate performance for generic usage. The problem is that a lot of the implementation happens at a high level, which necessitates a sufficiently smart optimizer.
If programming languages' impact on resumes would be a sensible metric I had never learned LISPs, prolog or MLs. Those experiences have been the key to many well-paying gigs, even though I more often than not was hired for some mainstream language/stack.

I too would hesitate to use it in a commercial context, but only because its development stalled for 15 years, leaving us with almost no developers that still speak perl and still work in the trenches... perl's cost of adaption in comparison to other dynamic languages skyrocketed :(
That is an Interesting questions, so Canada is currently the best for US citizen if you dont want a DC inside US?
But the chosen city would win even more if they were to cooperate. Sure, the cooperation would quickly break down but that is why the federal government should decide on such benefits (basically to ensure companies stay within the country, if that is deemed beneficial) rather than local government. It’s for me mindbaffling how anyone believes HQ2 would bring back billions of USD - even if you include secondary and tertiary effects
I'd rather not get caught up in semantics, but you are correct, and what I said was mistaken. The point still stands, that independent "employment" is usually a bad deal.
This is why a Social Health Care system would be such a boon to entrepreneurship. It would remove one of the biggest worries for people creating their own business.
I have Google Homes in my house and I agree that after the initial feeling of huge usability it really doesn't achieve all that much. Chromecast integration is both wonderful and awful - I can say "OK Google, play <TV Show> on the living room TV" and it'll do exactly that... but if I want to pause it I have to talk over the show I'm currently watching.

All that said, I wonder what it would offer an elderly person. If my Grandma were still alive I'd be very tempted to rewire all her light switches to be wi-fi enabled and set them up with a Google Home/Alexa. I can see it being a huge, huge benefit to the old and frail.
Yeah, no
Not always. Last Apple speaker lasted 18 months for being pulled because of weak sales. It was priced as $350.

I wouldn't say that you need deep knowledge at this point. However, you do need at least journeyman level knowledge. Lots of folks (including me, on Patroni) are working to make more things automatic and lower the knowledge barrier, but we're not there yet.

A big part of the obstacle is that preserving state in a distributed environment is just hard, no matter what your technology, and the failure cases are generally catastrophic (lose all data, everywhere). This is true both for the new distributed databases, and for the retrofits of the older databases. So building DBMSes which can be flawlessly deployed by junior admins on random Kubernetes clusters requires a lot of plumbing and hundreds of test cases, which are hard to construct if you don't have a $big budget for cloud time in order to test things like multi-zone netsplits and other Chaos Monkey operations.

Making distributed databases simple and reliable is a lot like writing software for airplanes, but clearly that's possible, it's just hard and will take a while.
I don't accept crypto to mean cryptocurrency.

It's like saying butter when you mean butterscotch. Doesn't mean the same thing and shouldn't.
Actually I'm hoping what HomePod can do: when I come home listening to Spotify/Audible/podcast on my earphone+iPhone, HomePad auto turn on when I walk into house, the song/audiobook/podcast I'm halfway listening to on my iPhone will automatically transfer to HomePod to continue playing.
I'm sure that there will be some kind of reckoning at some point. Who knows though, maybe prices will just stabilize to the point that it becomes another boring equity.
Which is still pretty good :) . From what I know, stores in popular areas have surprisingly big revenues, I'd love 10% of that (my brother used to work at a store with a million dollars in monthly revenue).
I just installed geli ZFS on the 3€ instance. It works nicely.
>I struggle to think of use cases that have a meaningful effect on my lifestyle

My personal feeling about home assistants is that they aren't supposed to be "meaningful", at least not in any significant way. I recently bought a Google Home Mini and I only use it occasionally, but when I do it's very supplementary. Example being that I've been re-reading the Harry Potter books and I've come across British terms I didn't recognize, so I just ask the Mini what the term means and when it works (80% of the time, I'd say) it's pretty useful as a utility.

But I'm not going out of my way to use it in such a way that it replaces something significant in my life.
So what is the ETA for release of Webrender in Firefox now?
Also, the article does show us the kind of knowledge that admins will always need to have, such as the tradeoffs between asynchronous and synchronous replication.
The issue is that any decent health plan is around $700 dollars and you cannot deduct that as an expense from your salary when you're a contractor or 1099. Now if you could deduct any and all types of "benefits" (so to speak) from your taxes as contractor, I think that would be a win.
I get charged in the US for using a non-BoA ATM by both banks for a total charge of $5 to $6. I would consider that a big fee if you are taking out $100 USD. BoA charges me a fee to send my landlord money even if it is a 3 business day period of $10. I lived overseas for 8 years, and you could move money between banks, send a friend lunch money right after lunch with no fee, pay your gas or electric bill at a 24/7 convenience store, buy telephone credit anywhere. I lived in the rice fields of Java for a year, and could get phone and internet credit from a small shack down the road. The US had more friction for any of these tasks, and it costs more. I agree it is more blockchain I am rooting for than one singular currency like Bitcoin.

This is pretty standard for most large companies.
That seems to imply that the BTC market cap is the result of speculation. Of people holding BTC because they think some greater fool will buy them later.

Personally I believe in efficient markets. I think the $200B is the best guess the market came up for the intrinsic value of BTC. Independent of speculation.

My feeling is similar to yours though. That BTCs value is closer to $200m then to $200B.
He reached a pleasant deal with the prosecutor, he wasn't convicted by a jury.
As a tech worker I appreciate your firm pro-worker stance, but what if we don't support the current system of having your health care be tied to your job, and letting your employer dictate your allotted vacation time and holidays, while allowing them to ask for unlimited legal unpaid overtime?

> they released the best one

More like the most marketed one. I recall reporters going out and asking teens at the mall about their media players. And most could not name the company behind it but new they had to have the one with the fruit logo because that was the "fashionable" one to have.

Similarly, check the cases and covers for phones etc. The only ones with a big ass window on the back to show off the logo is the ones meant for iphones.

The fruit has long since become a fashion brand.
You really can't compare a HomePod and a Google Home Mini. As an owner of the latter I know that the sound quality is absolute crap - I never play music through it. Meanwhile, that's the whole reason to get a HomePod. It's better compared to expensive Sonos speaker setups.
Imagine a future where cities go to war with each other to win the favor of massive corporations.
The Modular Monolith: Rails Architecture
Those where good points.

In my case it was the first. I did enough research and was very clear on the pricing and product, i improved on my negotiating as i visited 3 showrooms and then when i went to this 4th show room "don't mistake courtesy for friendliness" this happened and i ended up spending $2K more that i should have. He talked to me in a very nice way taking so much care about how i would like and i just gave into it as i was tired that day and already was shopping for the product for a month and just wanted to close the purchase.
what does a middleclick do?
Thanks. I will have a look. Btw, the tool will be a black-box vulnerability scanner but just like ZAP, it will be able to proxy as well - all nicely packaged with minimal dependencies and no framebuffer rendering - so it should be snappy.
> With such fewer moving parts there's less to break down and go wrong.

People don't really appreciate that enough. It's mostly solid state electronics. The only major degrading part is the battery. Its currently not too cheap to replace, but it is highly recyclable. Fix the battery and the car is basically new. The drivetrain will last for a long while.
Go, OpenCV, Caffe, and Tensorflow: Putting It All Together with GoCV

HackerRank: 2018 Developer Skills Report
I hate this so fucking much. Seems like every other search 70% of the top results have one of my necessary keywords removed. And I don't want to switch to verbatim because I do appreciate the fact that they search synonyms and don't necessarily want to remove that.
For anyone running this, can you comment? For example, one recurring criticism, before GitLab and the community managed to stamp out the expectation that it would be feasible, was that people were trying to self host a GitLab instance on a cheap SBC (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) or the smallest DigitalOcean plan and were surprised when this wasn't doable, while Gogs and Gitea handle this fine.

So to get a general idea of what sort of setup is expected in order to run a gitbucket instance, if you're running one, what are the relevant details?
Don’t you all think insider trading will be significantly easier with crypto? Why is there little talk about this?
You have to use the Safari rendering engine, though - Apple will not allow any others in the App Store.

I don't think that's as big of an issue as others do, but it is still a restriction.
If a city waves taxes for Amazon, they'll still have increased costs - say, increased road maintenance around HQ2 as those roads get used much more. Those costs still need to be paid for, and the burden will then move to smaller companies with less clout to negotiate a special deal.

Trying to get an ever-increasing amount of money out of people and organizations with less ability to pay that amount of money seems bottomish for me.
I assume you're talking about starting an LLC in the United States.

If law says you can't work for a company that isn't your sponsor, doesn't that only pertain to work that is here in the US? Surely it doesn't cover the whole world. And if so, why not just create the corporate shell in your native country?

Many assumptions made above, but I'm not a lawyer, I don't know the first thing about H1B visas, and I have no idea what starting a company in your country is like. :) I'm also assuming the company your H1B is through is also fine with you doing other work.

Agreed. From the release notes link you provided:

These performance enhancements were both featured on HN. It's good news.
There is nothing wrong with Amazon getting an incentive. The question is are these cities doing their math and offering incentives that are both competitive and reasonable, that won't leave their citizens out to hang.
"No benefits" is a somewhat strange way to think about it because all of these benefits, you can buy yourself. They are just really expensive. The underlying problem is that these jobs do not pay as much as people would like. That is still a very real problem. But since this article does not discuss pay at all, it's hard to really understand what's going on from the article.
