You continue to assume that the regulators only ever write good regulations (good for the time when they produce them).
Yes. In the case of the "girl next door" example, she's probably not over the threshold she needs to be to make money from youtube. So the ad revenue is split between youtube and the content owner of the music.

I don't have a ton of insight but I'm sure it gets more complicated when you have creators that get a cut of the money, as well as potentially multiple advertisers in the case of longer videos. But it all comes out of that ad revenue.

3-5hrs/week of exercise provides a huge ROI on mental performance and health. Find a program that works for you and stick with it.

In my opinion not exercising is as short sighted as not using an employer matching 401k program.
If your statics have containers(yes I know it's a bad idea, but not forbidden) then you can easily have invalid pointers now with that approach.

Really you're going to have to go through so many gyrations that your GC code may start looking a lot like manual memory management.
Interesting! My problems are derivative-free, and my gut feeling is that a lot of real-world engineering-type problems are, because at some point they involve some gnarly nonlinear maths. In my case, my variables are about the positions of some knots from which i construct a monotonic cubic spline, which i then use as a parameter to another model; my objective function is how well that model reproduces some real measurements. I get a headache just writing it all down.

I've had good results from simplex; i'm a bit sad to hear there isn't some magical algorithm that will give me a massive speedup over it.

I haven't tried automatic differentiation. That seems extremely daunting given the volume of code in my problem. Someone has done some groundwork on AD of the main library i use in my model, but it would still be a serious bit of work.
Tesla also has a radar.
Yes, but that's not a "risk factor"... generally in an issuance document, the big pressure is to disclose all the material negatives of your business that you're aware of, partially so that down the road the SEC or your investors can't complain they weren't warned of that risk during the issuance.

Nope, GDPR still applies to you to any country where you travel!

Now, the downside is that small, local companies probably won't care about the GDPR. However, you buy soap (and everything else) from multinationals with European operations -- and crucially, bank accounts.
Yes, we're nowhere close to "post-scarcity" in the Star Trek or Iain Banks sense. But proximity is also a function of technology, and in a hypothetical world where human labor is mostly obsolete (STEM included), it approaches zero.

It's fair (and I think correct) to not expect the world to go so far in that direction any time soon enough to be relevant, but many do. Scratch a UBI supporter and you'll often find a big believer in AI.

"Typical we are more comfortable with military tech being used far away in war zones than we are with it being used at home against US civilians."

And drone usage is going to make it even worse. People isn't exposed anymore to the effects of being at war, so that the stronger side has no incentive to stop fighting. In the past people hated the war because of the high risk that loved ones could return in a coffin; nowadays only the enemies die, and at a convenient distance, so brainwashed masses don't develop hostility to the war but rather keep hating an enemy they have never met just because the TV says so. That's the first step to an endless state of war which is the best customer the weapon industry could dream about.

Will you are a lawyer (quite a good lawyer by my estimate), but you should be careful when moving outside of your sphere of competency. Biology is very, very complex.

Identical twins are not genetically identical (they typically all have small genetic difference), but even if they were the cause for any difference could be due to factors outside of the microbiome. There is no way any careful scientist could conclude from one set of twins what the cause of any difference between them was.

Your ideas resonate a lot with dependency injection [1] to me. However, I don't see how such an "App manager" would be able to setup, for instance, an nginx server with multiple virtual hosts.

Some applications need entire configuration languages because they are so flexible that writing some ini/json/xml quickly becomes too cumbersome. How would your system deal with those problems?

Finally, your proposed solution seems to suffer from having to adapt all applications to be able to manage them. This is impractical to say the least, and if you had the resources to take that adventure... I think you'd be better off turning to something like Nix

The earliest positive feedback you'll get from exercise is sleeping better that night.

It may be that the good feeling people get after exercising only comes later, after you somehow start associating exercise with its benefits.

Eclipse was awesome straight out of IBM, but IMO OSGI killed it of. OSGI is such a clunky framework to work with/around, I think it slowed down the devs enough to eventually make it outshined by others.
Well, to tell you the truth, I pulled that out of my ass. I have no idea if the Homepod is selling well. I am basing this on the fact that Apple allows employees a 50% discount, something they do not do for any other product other than the Apple Watch (as far as I know or can tell). This, in addition to the litany of poor reviews, leads me to believe the Homepod isn't doing so well. I can't be sure, though.
Rumor was they had a weird liquidation preferences in that round, which made it more like debt. Something like a 2x floor and 3x cap. Not sure how that resolves in an IPO though.
most everyone in the finance industry does

it contains the "source" facts with limited embellishment. there are all kinds of regulations that essentially result in SEC filings being fairly standardized, limited-BS documents. you dont have to worry about distilling commentary and opinion with fact, generally

for commentary and context, equity research reports are generally helpful as long as you're aware of the inherent bias. articles online can also be helpful, but generally the quality varies, and you have to spend commensurately more time fact checking

once you learn how to ctrl-f the right terms and understand the general skeleton of each type of report, it is actually pretty easy to find the relevant information

True. But they are much better than the body fat instruments that you hold in your hand or the scales that are suppose to measure it.
The easier but more expensive way is to hire a senior engineer. That might be hard to do at a small startup. The other way is to expand your network.

There is some luck involved but you can increase your chances by putting yourself in the places where a technical mentor would be. Attend meetups, hacker groups, conferences, talks.

Reach out to technical bloggers or other people in the sphere. If they can't help you directly, maybe they can redirect you to someone else.

>...this is a clear violation of their statutory mandate."

>I find arguments like this truly astounding because no one was claiming they were violating federal law before they implemented the net neutrality regulations

First, if they are in clear violation of their mandate, they are breaking the law.

Second, yes, there were people claiming they were breaking the law before the 2015 net neutrality regulations. They were proved correct in the court, which led to the 2015 regulations. This fight has been going on in the courts for over a decade, and there have been numerous attempts to pass a new law dealing with it. Unless a new law is passed, the decision has always been with the courts.

I find IntelliJ much better at navigation and refactoring.
Personally, I have never had an issue with Dropbox on any device that I am running. The very first app I'll install on any new device is Dropbox without even thinking about it. At this point, cloud storage has become an independent category so I don't mind using an additional service that is not part of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Normally I try to consolidate the number of apps/services I use, but Dropbox performs exceptionally well and I trust them.

Congrats to Dropbox on achieving this milestone!
" but it is more obvious to me than ever than Eclipse, at least for Java development, is superior to Intellij."

This is a pretty huge claim. Care to share your reasoning?
There are a nearly infinite amount of forgery possibilities. The best solution seems to be making multiple networks with different approaches and training sets. Use a consensus or refer to a human if there is none. Finding holes should become harder with this approach.
Even though Manafort was associated with foreign government figures it took being associated with the U.S President to be investigated. It didn't matter before... having a paper trail was ok, no one cared.

The Long Now site says, "Located under a remote limestone mountain near Van Horn, Texas, it will require a day’s hike to reach its interior gears. Just reaching the entrance tunnel situated 1500 feet above the high scrub desert will leave some visitors out of breath, nicked by thorns, and wondering what they got themselves into." Presumably that means Jeff wants to make it a little bit challenging for people to find the Clock, at least for a few years.

http://longnow.org/clock/

The Clock is designed to require the Hero's Journey to reach, because it's primarily designed to inspire, to bring people to spiritual experiences, not to tell time.

Also, keep in mind that the greatest risk to the Clock is human vandalism and looting — the one thing you can't protect against by design, although they've certainly tried. If the Clock survives a century without anyone visiting it, it will have made it 1% of the way to its design lifespan.

They've published enough photos and videos that it should be possible to find, though.
They likely have protection clauses.

The Pandora of Food Is Hiring a Director of Engineering in SF
I don't buy it – rather, I can't buy it!

I am happy to exchange money for new versions of software that offer new features, or for compatibility with new versions of operating systems. I expect to pay money for software, have it functioning and supported for an agreed period (say, a couple of years), and then to pay again if I want to continue using it with fancy new features.

That doesn't seem unreasonable or difficult to offer?
Yes, combined with the risk that the currency could go down in terms of the currency you care about.
I think that the points you make are not trivial or inconsequential. I'd be very interested to read more about the challenges that face communications companies that facilitate networks, if you'd be willing to provide references to a few items, such as:

'a general understanding that peering is free ...' - (might this be spelled out in the business service contracts between Comcast and a provider such as Netflix?)

a metric for how to determine and verify by both parties how much data is predominantly flowing and in which direction

And if these details to an agreement had been discussed and agreed upon by some parties that later entered a public debate about them, I might also wonder:

if a metric is determined for how an ISP will route traffic, how will it identify and share how much traffic it can handle,
and how much it has received?

What peer relationships is Comcast, or any other ISP, also bound by of similar terms that might connect a candidate business to remote customers that the ISP does not directly service, further along on the internet? How will this also impact the ability of an individual customer or business to make decisions on the terms described above?
I agree, but ironic considering that you are focusing on OSGIs main selling points :)
Ya, that's what the people you disagree with are... "uninformed" or "ISP shills". Brilliant!
OK, I get what you're saying. I'd say we already have an API for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

When I apt-get install most applications, I don't need to tell them where they should put their logs, they just the mkdir('/var/log/...') API. I don't see us gaining much by adding another man-in-the-middle to translate a logfiles(X) call to mkdir('/var/log/app')/open('/var/log/app/'+'/var/log/'+X).

The reason I use a CM is mostly to configure the system itself (such as - which apps I want installed in the first place) and to define application-specific configurations, which a configuration fulfiller would have no way of knowing how to do.

The app knows what ports it wants to offer.

No, the app knows what services it wants to offer; ports are shared resources, so they can't be defined by each app.

We've had /etc/services for like 30 years and yet nobody seems to realize you can use a name instead of a port number and stop worrying about manually mapping numbers around.

On the contrary; /etc/services is part of the old paradigm, in which each application got a static port that you had to manually configure, even if you used a text file to give it a label. In my systems, the CM takes care of that, by allocating any free port and taking of the bookkeeping to prevent double use.
I've happily been using Eclipse for years for Java development and have never used IntelliJ. I feel very productive in Eclipse and feel no urge to change.

Yea, that ad bubble is one of my favorite topics right now.

I have been out of the go space for a while, and recently took up a small project that uses it.

I was glad to see that 3rd party tooling (VSCode extension for example) had improved a lot. And after the initial hump, using the dep[0] tool was a breath of fresh air compared to the cludgy alternatives back in 1.4/1.5.

As of a month or two ago dep was slated to become the "go dep ..." command. I'm really curious (and not in a demanding way.. but legitimately curious) why:

1) it's taken them this long to stabilize dependency management, in what seems like an otherwise polished, well supported ecosystem?

2) they could abandon a well thought out, reliable community supported tool that was endorsed by golang itself?

After a lot of trying I'm finally warming to the language but the community and ecosystem still leave a lot to be desired. I'll be interested to see how vgo plays out. Third time lucky I guess (get, dep, vgo)?
Isn't that basically what an optical illusion is?
